"We must change the entire system of government
in Ukraine"

Ukrainian President Victor Yushchenko has all but declared martial
law in the country as he announced yesterday that the National
Security and Defense Council will become the supreme ruling
authority in the wake of a mystery epidemic sweeping the country.
Yushchenko has made high ranking health ministers
members of the
NSDC, a government body consisting of the president
himself, the chairman of parliament, the prime minister Yulia
Tymoshenko (pictured), the head of the Security Service of Ukraine
and other high ranking ministers.
Yushchenko
told reporters Wednesday night that "the non-fulfillment
of its decisions will be prosecuted," adding "We need
to change the system. We need to change the whole system of
the state power organization in Ukraine. We have no time for
remonstrance no time for waiting".
The President reiterated his statements in an
official
address to the Ukrainian people yesterday, in which
he states "Failure to comply with [NSDC] orders will immediately
result in application to the law enforcement authorities."
"I instruct the Government and the Ministry
of Health to immediately start preventive and promotional work
in areas where there is no epidemic, targeting primarily the
special risk groups,“ the address reads.
The address also announced orders for the arrest
of public health officials who have allowed public gatherings
to continue and failed to ban the movement of people, calling
it "a display of criminal irresponsibility".
"I have addressed the Prosecutor General
of Ukraine with the request to institute criminal charges of
negligence committed by first of all the Chief Sanitary Inspector,
Kyiv City Sanitarian and the officials, who, despite having
daily information on the epidemic situation in the country,
neglected it in pursuit of political dividends and ambition,“
the statement reads.
A further report from Interfax
Ukrainia Agency says the Ukrainian Health Minister
Wasilij Kniazevicz has asked the country's top prosecutor to
open criminal proceedings against those who are opposed to the
implementation of the mass flu vaccination campaign.
Yushchenko's address also issued a ban on all
flu medicines not recognized by the Ukrainian government or
by the World Health Organization:
"I demand the Government to immediately cancel
the existing order of registration of medical supplies, including
vaccines." the address reads.
The address also implores Ukrainian citizens who have shunned
the officially approved vaccinations to reconsider:
"It is generally known that the only way to prevent any
infection is vaccination,“ the address reads, "As
the President I ask you, dear fellow citizens, to reconsider
your attitude to vaccination and do it if necessary, but only,
I emphasize it - only after consultation with the doctor."
" People are dying. The epidemic is killing doctors. This
is absolutely unprecedented and inconceivable in the XXI century."
the address continues.
"All the limits have been exceeded - even those under
the Constitution that determine my actions as the President."
Yushchenko states.

Yushchenko asserts that there are three types
of influenza currently spreading throughout the country, two
kinds of seasonal flu and the H1N1 strain.
The President states that this "may lead
to the emergence of an even more aggressive new virus".
However, WHO
has said that the H1N1 virus in Ukraine appears
"no different there than anywhere else" and that any
surge there may be due to a more susceptible population.
Other
mainstream reports suggest that British scientists
are examining samples of the H1N1 strain from Ukraine to determine
whether the virus has mutated.
As we reported
earlier this week, conflicting reports suggest
that the epidemic in Ukraine is down to an unidentified virus,
with some indicating the virus constitutes
a pneumonic plague.
According to the write up at Chechen
news outlet Kavkaz Center, the Ukrainian News Agency
Fraza, has reported "it has been confirmed 100% Pneumonic
Plague in Ukraine" and that in order to quell panic only
talk of swine flu has been sanctioned by the authorities. However,
Kavkaz is a questionable source on this matter, given that Ukraine
is a tactical and military ally of Russia.
Other reports have suggested that the epidemic
is pure hype being played out as part of a political struggle
between opposition politicians in Ukraine.
Prime Minister Tymoshenko has attempted to reverse
the panic by announcing
that there is no swine flu pandemic in the country
at all, and that it is down to "media hysteria" and
"politicians' populist statements" in the run up to
January elections.
As this
article in The Scotsman highlights, Tymoshenko
and Yushchenko, once allies in the so called "Orange Revolution",
are now bitter rivals that are set to fight it out in next year's
elections.
"... there is growing suspicion in the country
that the H1N1 virus has also succumbed to a bitter battle for
political power that now poisons all aspects of political life
and threatens to wreak serious damage on the former Soviet state."
Matthew Day writes.
Around 80 people have died in Ukraine from respiratory
related illnesses, it has yet to be confirmed how many were
as a result of H1N1 influenza.
Whatever is really going on in Ukraine, the news has sparked
a flurry of reports from conspiracy based websites that are
citing a warning made in August by a man called Joseph Moshe,
who claimed to be a former Mossad microbiologist.
Moshe hit the headlines when he was arrested
after a long standoff with police in LA because
he had supposedly made threats against the White House.
Shortly after his arrest, hundreds of comments and reports
began to circulate stating that Moshe had called into a radio
show to warn people about a biological weapon that was being
prepared by Baxter
International's Ukraine plant that would be spread
via a flu vaccine and would cause a plague upon it's release.
Moshe's identity as a microbiologist does
seem to be verifiable, and Baxter certainly does
have a presence in the Ukraine, as this
page with Baxter's contact information for it's
Ukraine office confirms.
Whether Moshe's claims have any basis in truth
is up for debate, however, it now seems an incredible coincidence
that he fingered Ukraine as the location for a specific outbreak.
