WHO-Director-General Dr. Margaret Chan has raised the global pandemic alert from “Phase 5″ to the highest level of “Phase 6,” signaling a jump in swine flu cases on multiple continents and systemic person-to-person transmission. (Interestingly, the WHO’s pandemic action plan was finalized and put into full effect only two weeks before the swine flu scare began in late April.) 

I bring this declaration of “Phase 6″ to your attention because the formal activation of U.S. emergency plans are now technically in effect.

Assuming the number of flu cases in the United States climb dramatically (as expected) during the flu season later this year, under the UN/WHO plan, Americans could be subjected to forced quarantine and “pharmaceutical interventions” (i.e. mandatory mass vaccinations), curtailment of public meetings and events, and the shutting down of entire school systems.
