MORE THAN JUST 'STOMACH FLU'
QUOTING:
In order for the viruses in tap water to sicken water-drinkers, they must pass through the stomach's corrosive acid environment. Only a few dozen intrepid viruses have evolved that have the ability to survive the journey. [H: Of course with the pushing of antacids you have provided a nice comfortable rest-bed for the little varmints, removing all difficulty in survival and allowing passage undaunted right on out through the intestinal system and directly back into your drinking water after a nice vacation journey--unless of course, they have to stop and multiply and divide in some loving host body--then bunches more are provided into the water supply of loving friends and neighbors every time you "flush".] These survivor viruses, however, are worrying epidemiologists because they're increasingly linked to serious, disabling human diseases.
As a group they're known as enteroviruses and they can cause disease from mild queasiness to killing heart failure. Because the outer coat they evolved to protect themselves from stomach acid also helps protect them against chlorine, the most common chemical used to disinfect tap water, enteroviruses are a significant source of waterborne disease. To finish off some enteroviruses may take hundreds, even thousands of times more chlorine, and much more time than it takes to kill ordinary bacteria.
These hardy enteroviruses may be the most dangerous life forms surviving modern water treatment. That's disturbing, because current research is linking some of the 73 known human enteroviruses (Poliovirus, Coxsackie virus, Calicivirus, Echovirus, Rotavirus, Norwalk virus, Hepatitis) to long-term, serious illnesses. The most compelling evidence implicates Coxsackie virus, linked to a devastating form of heart disease in which the heart becomes enlarged, flabby and weakened--dilated cardiomyopathy, currently the chief cause of heart transplantation. The virus seems to trigger a post-infectious autoimmune disease that can eventually result in heart damage and death.
These findings aren't just important to ivory-tower researchers: More than half of all people receiving heart transplantation originally became sickened by viral infection of Coxsackie virus.
"For some of these viruses, years may pass between initial exposure and symptoms," said Rose. That long duration makes it easy to understand why it's been extremely difficult for scientists to link, say a flu-like illness one day with serious disease months or years later. The true frequency and origins of many enterovirus infections, masked until now, remain to be discovered.
Consumers concerned about possible microbial contamination of their drinking water have a number of options. [Editor's note: None of those suggestions are effective against viruses.]
* Have your water tested. Many independent laboratories will test for toxins and bacteria.
* If you have a carbon filter, change the carbon at least as frequently as the manufacturer suggests.
* In the morning run the water for at least half a minute before taking a drink.
* Be certain that all faucets to which garden hoses are attached are fitted with an anti-siphon device to prevent a reverse flow from hose to indoor plumbing.
* Call the local water utility and get a free copy of its latest water quality report. The report will list levels of coliform bacteria and chemical pollutants found in tap-water samples. The utility engineers may also be able to provide you with a rough idea of the coliform count in source water. If the number is above about 10,000 total coliforms per liter, the source water is roughly as contaminated as that in Payment's experiments.
* If you decide to buy a home water-treatment unit, an excellent reference is the January 1990 Consumer Reports "Fit to Drink" article.
* Don't confuse distilled water with sterile water. Distilled water is not chlorinated and has been shown to be frequently contaminated with bacteria.
* Bottled water may be purer than tap water, but some city-manufactured bottled waters may contain more bacteria than plain tap water. Other bottled waters may be a better bet--if you can determine your local brand's water source.
* For additional information, consult the EPA's Safe Drinking Water Hotline at (800) 426-4791, from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. EST.
A FILTER THAT BREEDS BACTERIA
Consumers who have bought or who have been considering buying reverse osmosis filters might want to know that Pierre Payment recently discovered an unexpected bacterial problem with many of them. Designed to remove bacteria from tap water, they can also breed it--in staggering quantities.
Under-the-sink reverse-osmosis filters usually pass water first through a carbon filter to remove chlorine and other chemicals and then through a membrane that excludes everything but pure water. Since the membrane filters water at a rate of one gallon every three to six hours, the water is usually stored in a two-gallon holding tank under the sink until it's needed. That's the problem.
The water in the tank has been stripped of the residual chlorine that water plants add to stop bacterial growth in pipes. Sitting stagnate at room temperature often for days in the tank is an ideal breeding ground for bacteria. And breed they do. Payment measured an average of 10,000 bacteria per milliliter of tank water--20 times more than average tap water, some units breed up to 10 million bacteria per milliliter. "Those consumers were drinking water that contained more bacteria than milk," says Payment.
"I was surprised," the Canadian virologist remembered. He discovered that once a filter grows bacteria, it would continue growing them in about the same numbers for months. He published his findings in the April 1991 issue of Applied and Environmental Microbiology.
"The bacteria growing in the filter weren't ones we see too often," he says. His team grew the bacteria in the lab, and watched as beige, yellow and sometimes pinkish splotches spread across their petri dishes. The main species--pseudomonas acinetobacter, fiavobacterium, alcaligenes mortaella-- were known to other researchers and presumed harmless.
Payment's statistics suggested otherwise. People drinking water from filters contaminated with fewer than 1,000 bacteria per milliliter are known to be coming down with gastroenteritis--about what you would expect from the normal population. But a third of the filters grew microbe-laden water with 100,000 or more bacteria per milliliter. People who drank that water, Payment found, averaged five bouts of gastroenteritis each year--10 times what people drinking unfiltered tap water experienced. Their $1.000 filter had given them diarrhea rates like those in the Third World.
If it weren't for these extra filter-bred illnesses, Payment's Montreal experiment might have shown even greater differences in illness between the filtered and unfiltered groups--more like 35 or 40 percent. If he can ever conduct a repeat test with biologically pure water--a technical challenge--he may be able to pin down the exact level of sickness that tap water can produce.
The Quebec researchers have stumbled onto a major regulatory oversight--home water treatment devices are barely regulated by the government. "The major problem is that nobody tests the filters microbiologically once they are installed," says Payment. They're installed and then forgotten. The salesman says, "Change the filter every six months, and that's it."
The $100 million home reverse-osmosis filter industry has more than doubled since 1985.
"We've seen research that the human body is fully capable of tolerating higher amounts of bacteria," counter Peter Censky, executive director of the Chicago-based Water Quality Association, representing 2,600 manufacturers/services of water treatment devices. "Empirically, you consume much more bacteria from your table, your face, your skin. But the question is still open because we don't know enough about the physiology of drinking water."
Last December, Congress' General Accounting Office was far more critical of home water treatment units. "No single authority," the GAO reported, "exists to ensure that units perform as sales agents claim." [H: Now, if you believe the GAO would "help" you by more regulations then I do have another bridge to sell you in New York.] Calling federal regulation of the units "fragmented and incomplete", the GAO recommended that the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the Federal Trade Commission, the EPA and industry coordinate a strategy to regulate the effectiveness and safety of the home units. [H: Oh boy, that should insure that no one ever gets safe water again in a lifetime.]
Certainly units like the one used in Quebec are in dire need of regulation. Though about 600 manufacturers make home water treatment units, only 54 to date have gotten around to having the Water Quality Association certify their units. Ironically, even that certification (the "Prestigious Gold Seal" in association literature) fails to test reverse-osmosis units for bacterial contamination.
Instead, the Gold Seal is earned if the unit merely filters out dissolved solids, doesn't leak under pressure and isn't composed of toxic materials. Water Quality Association literature--while stressing that these units can filter tap water bacteria--never mention that the filters often produce water containing up to 100,000 times more bacteria than the incoming tap water.
Payment's 1991 research paper on the filters concluded: "These observations raise concerns for the possibility of increased disease associated with certain point-of-use treatment devices for domestic use when high levels of bacterial growth occur."
"We want to repeat Pierre's study," said microbiologist Marc LeChevallier, senior research microbiologist with the industry's American Water Works Service Company. "Reverse-osmosis is a good system--just the way its implemented may need to be modified. You've got to recirculate that water to keep it from sitting stagnant."
END OF QUOTING.
I am quite sure we will again be blasted with "you fear mongers" and other nasty attacks. I, too, sometimes do not know why we and this crew "bother", but here it is. I ask that you take it or leave it, call if our staff can assist you but spare us your politics and religious put-down. You as a whole are in dire circumstances and what you do with this information is solely up to you. This is purely and simply offered as a public service in information. Shouting denials at our paper crew will merit you nothing but embarrassment as the truth projects itself. You have aiders and abetters of the NEW WORLD ORDER in your midst--knowing or unknowing--and I believe it is time you people open your dreamy eyes and look around you for your time is running out quickly. Salu.

JOHN CLARK alias JOHN COLEMAN
AGENT-AGITATOR - - FINALLY EXPOSED!
By
Eustace Mullins - - 1992
author of 35 books and his birthing of the conspiracy movement.
A specter is haunting this American conservative movement - - a specter using an alias) among others) - - Dr. Jon Coleman, Coleman bills himself as "the World's Greatest Intelligence Expert" - - with secret but highly placed ties to British Intelligence. He appeared out of the blue at a Bob White, sound Monetary Conference meeting in Costa Rica in 1984.
. . . . With no sponsorship - - other than the seminar sponsor, a Dr. Harold Brown - - and no documentation, Coleman managed to convince the attendees that he was indeed - - one of the world's important experts on international intelligence. He claimed to be privy to the most carefully guarded secrets of the individuals who clandestinely rule the world.
. . . . However, Coleman said - - he would share these secrets only if certain carefully observed guidelines were maintained. The most important of these was that he would never be asked to furnish any personal background information - - any documentation or any source from which he obtained his "secret information." Such restriction would scream "confidence artist" to most people. But when he met James K. Warner (editor of The Christian Defense League newspaper) - - in 1984, he justified his refusal to reveal background information on himself or his sources - - by claiming that "he was subject to assassination threats."
. . . . He snared Jim Warner by confiding hin him one of his closely guarded secrets - - that his name was not Dr. John Coleman at all - - but that it was, in fact, John Clark. Coleman stated that by giving Warner this private information - - he was actually placing his life in his hands. As he was an accomplished confidence artist - - Coleman convinced Warner that he should offer him a position. Warner responded to him by employing him as a writer for the Christian Defense League Report.
. . . . Coleman would send in material which indeed contained startling information (but was totally undocumented) - - would soon win him an enthusiastic following among Warner's readers. Coleman also supplied a great many audio tapes which were offered to Warner's readers. Each of course supplying "secret information." This began a five year relationship which proved to be filled with pitfalls for Warner, who was after all a small, underfinanced businessman.
. . . . Not only did Coleman continue to refuse any documentation - - but he made frequent demands for salary increases. . . . extra expenses for himself and his family. . . and advances on his salary which exceeded the projected totals of several years salary. . . . Warner was in no position to meet these demands - - but in his anxiety to retain Coleman - - he dug deep into his own pocket and also issued frantic fund raising appeals for Coleman. The result was that Warner was nearly bankrupted and conservatives nearly lost an excellent source of out of print books and independent information.
. . . . It should be noted that it is a common technique for an infiltrator to attempt a financial raid on a host target - - thereby, rendering the host target unable to continue in business. An example of this would be the Rockefeller faction attempting to take over the National Rifle Association some 15 years ago with a grandiose plan which would have bankrupted the NRA.
MULLINS MATERIAL - - HAD TO BE DISCONTINUED - - OR ELSE!
. . . . There were other problems which Coleman created for Warner. One of them was his continuous demands that Warner cease any articles or sell any books written by myself, Eustace Mullins. I had, in fact, been writing for Warner for more than a decade. Warner attributed this obsession to mere jealousy on Coleman's part. In fact, it went much deeper. . . .
. . . . Coleman's vaunted sources of information were not secret at all - - but were discovered by me in the process of reviewing his printed statements. Here are the results of my study; about 30% of his material was lifted from my own writings and . . . . about 70% was stolen from Lyndon Larouche publications. Principally, Coleman would rely on feature articles in the Executive Intelligence Review magazine. The material was simply rewritten by Coleman and crudely puffed up to five or six times its original length. Unfortunately, Warner never noticed.
. . . . Finally I became so concerned about the quantity of material lifted from the Larouche publications by Coleman - - that I decided to let Jim Warner know that his "new star" was lifting most of his "secrets" from Larouche publications.
. . . . Some months later, Warner received an indignant letter from the Larouche office - - complaining about Coleman's plagiarism of the Larouche material. When Warner confronted Coleman, Warner was assured that it was simply an effort by the Larouche group to sow dissension. Coleman claimed he had only seen one copy of the executive intelligence review in his life.
. . . . Sometime later, when Coleman claimed to have left the country for South Africa - - some of his effects were stored at the Warner warehouse. Among them, Warner found two boxes of well-thumbed issues of Larouche magazines. Sure enough, this proved to be the source of many of Coleman's "British intelligence" connections. But Warner's readers were trapped - - and they were besieging him with requests that he bring Coleman into the public spotlight through meetings and seminars.
. . . . Coleman finally did appear at some meetings for a few months. But then, Warner was hit with still more demands for more loans and salary advances. He tried to find other employment for him, sending him off to a part-time job with a long time supporter, William Makinney, of Florida. Bill Makinney was lured by the promise that Coleman could make some extremely profitable deals for him. Later he was disappointed when Coleman arrived with his wife and son, and Coleman demanded the use of a Lincoln town car and memberships in the most exclusive Palm Beach Clubs and nightly meals in the most expensive restaurants.
. . . Even worse he spent much of his time closeted in a room at Makinney's home. He claimed to be making long distance phone calls to the head of the South African gov't. Makinney was later unable to find records of any such phone calls in his billing. Soon Makinney asked him to leave and put him on a plane the sadder but wiser.
. . . . Warner was again assailed by constant demands for more money. Warner finally decided that the only way to meet the demands was to hold public meeting with Coleman as the star. Coleman who had billed himself as the "World's Greatest Orator" proved to be a lack luster speaker, who read in a dull monotone from his type written speech. The meetings were a failure. Meanwhile, Warner had purchased a car for Coleman's use and a computer for Coleman's use at a large home which Warner rented for him. Coleman rarely appeared at the Warner offices citing his fear of assassination.
. . . . What's more, Warner discovered at the meetings, Coleman attempted to make financial deals for himself, showing no loyalty to Warner whatsoever. Finally, Warner informed him that he was fired. Warner was required to obtain a warrant to cease the automobile and computer that were loaned to him. Then he realized that Coleman had obtained an illicit copy of his mailing list. Coleman began issuing appeals to Warner's subscribers claiming that - - I had had him discharged in order to become an editor of another Warner publication.
. . . . Finally, Coleman showed in California where he was gust of one, Dr. Arnold Geisbret, of Glendale, CA. Geisbret has an interesting background. He is an attendee at many right-wing meetings, including those of Lawrence Patterson's National Bankruptcy Seminars. He would take copious notes and interrogate everyone that would talk to him. Geisbret, obviously, intended to collect as much information on the right-wing as possible. Coleman, meanwhile, went from one address to the other in California using Warner's mailing list as a source of suckers.
. . . . At each resident, he would spin a spiteful tale of having been cruelly used by Jim Warner who had taken all of his money. Meanwhile, Coleman would make threatening calls to Warner informing him that he would launch a national campaign against him if he refused to make a financial settlement. Wishing to avoid legal problems. Warner settled a substantial sum of money on Coleman, all to no avail. Coleman not only launched a campaign of denunciations against Warner using his mailing list of Warner's subscribers - - but he also began a surreptitious mailing campaign using pseudonyms to accuse Warner of sexual offenses and of being a double agent. These defamatory letters were also mailed to Warner's mailing list.
GREAT SUCCESS - - IN SPREADING DISCORD!
. . . . Coleman was achieving great success in spreading consternation and discord throughout the conservative network. I began to realize his true motives. Rather than a greedy confidence artist - - with an ability to rewrite other's materials as his own - - it become obvious to me and to those that knew him, that he was more than likely a highly trained double agent - - whose handlers would unleash the "attack dog" on an unprepared patriot community, a step at a time. One source I have spoken with claimed that he has been trained in Israel by a Mossad unit --and had been know there as Joseph Pavionsky.
. . . . We later discovered that he entered the United States on an English passport recorded by the INS as #A20211168 issued to "John Clarke." Interestingly, when Warner accompanied him to get a driver's license in Louisiana - - he claimed he had applied for a social security number although none was forthcoming. Even though he had been in the United States for almost a decade - - he had been driving in the Western states on a Louisiana license, and had never obtained a U.S. green card or work permit.
ON - - TO CARSON CITY, NEVADA - -AS "SPACE COMMANDER"
. . . . Next comes Coleman's employment with one George Green who operates a nonconformist publication titled Phoenix Journal Express which is supposedly representing the statements from a space being - - (yes - - we said space being) - - by the name of Gyeorgos Ceres Hatonn. . . . !!
. . . . Hatonn is the claimed commander of a fleet of space ships from the galaxy of Pleiades. These spaceships have been deployed over the California border with Nevada for several years. This has proved to be convenient for all concerned because the people of Pleiades, interestingly enough - - do not require a U.S. work permit from its employees. Coleman is now writing the material for Hatonn interestingly enough, gives advice about International Banking, but amazingly, is always negative on Sterling denominated investments and - interestingly - Swiss banking as well.
. . . . Under the auspices of George Green's, Phoenix Journal Express, and America West publishers of Tehachapi, California - - Coleman finally published his first and only book "The Committee of Three Hundred". . . . After examining this book. It has proven to be the usual amalgam of his borrowings from my various textbooks and - - again - - from the Larouche magazine.
. . . . The foreword to the book is very revealing. He again takes the opportunity to sow more dissension in the conservation movement. It is a vitriolic denunciation of the movement claiming it was "part of a carefully crafted and orchestrated program to discredit him (Coleman) and run by secret government agents and informers embedded in the so-called Christian right wing "identity movement". . . . . The invective goes on at some length repealing the slanders of his previous circulated hate letters.
. . . . The Committee of 300 contains nothing new and is an amalgam of others' materials.
MATERIAL LIFTED FROM THE - - ANTI-DEFAMATION LEAGUE!
. . . . Having reviewed the material of the anti-defamation league, I can say that Coleman's smear attack in his forward against the "so-called Christian right wing" is a typical material taken from the guide books of the anti-defamation league. His denunciation of the "identity movement" - - is also taken directly from ADL literature. For years the ADL has considered the "identity movement," it's number one opponent and target in the United States.
A POTENT AGITATOR - - WORKING AGAINST AMERICA!
. . . . Whatever the truth or falsity of the claims of Dr. John Coleman - - (alias John Clarke, alias Pavionksy) - - it is clear that he is a potent agitator working among American conservative publishers. . . . Lawrence Patterson has also had a brush with him and he has recently succeeded in taking in Colonel Arch Roberts who ran a lengthy review of his book.
. . . . He has constantly sown seeds of discord and hate for his own devious purposes and will undoubtedly continue to pit patriot against patriot for as long as he is allowed to betray, impede, and infiltrate without exposure. Hopefully, this article which has been submitted to CRIMINAL POLITICS magazine of which I am a contributing editor, will help to expose John Coleman as a foreign agent.
