My government has consulted health officials, and they have not advised the closing of the US borders. -Obama

Gee, what were the odds of that?

I have not done much research on the link between the US government and these viruses, but I’m skeptical of most specific claims.  This Iranian PhD they interview is full of it.  I’m sure he’ll be featured though somewhere on Rense, as the PhD title is enough to make his claims irrefutable for most conspiracy lemmings.  I would like to see the source of the 18 billion in purchased stock claim. 

If we accept the assumptions that work was conducted in a laboratory in Mexico, whether in a pig farm or some other place, the mere fact that the substance found its way out, even if by mistake, shows that the US is conducting experiments in a peripheral country. -Iranian PhDuh

Can you say circular reasoning?  It’s hard to tell if the interviewer is shaking his head in disbelief at the end of it, but he should be.

As regards conspiracies in general, I think that many of them have an element of truth (e.g. fertilizer bomb did not destroy Murrah building), but proving them will require a changing of the guard.

According to the in no ways Isrealite Wikipedia, Michael Riordan, founder of Gilead Sciences, ...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilead_Sciences

... “looked to Donald Rumsfeld as a mentor in the business world and to navigate the political waters.”

For his part, Rummy ...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Rumsfeld#Business

... served as Chairman of Gilead Sciences, Inc. Gilead Sciences is the developer of Tamiflu (Oseltamivir), which is used in the treatment of bird flu.[27]As a result, Rumsfeld’s holdings in the company grew significantly when avian flu became a subject of popular anxiety during his later term as Secretary of Defense. Following standard practice, Rumsfeld recused himself from any decisions involving Gilead, and he directed the Pentagon’s General Counsel issue instructions outlining what he could and could not be involved in if there were an avian flu pandemic and the Pentagon had to respond.

So absolutely no conflict of interests there, then, and no possibility of the abuse of public funds.

The Mexicans are blaming Smithfield Foods for the outbreak.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smithfield_Foods,_Inc.

It is speculated that a collection of Smithfield’s farms in Perote, Veracruz in Mexico may have been the source of the 2009 swine flu outbreak. Residents in the area have complained of the swarms of flies around waste lagoons. Mexican health officials have said that the type of fly is associated with reproducing in pig waste, and that the swine influenza outbreak may have a link to these pig farms.

Anyway, it’s good biz for Roche, who now own Tamiflu:-

Swine flu alert clears old stock of Tamiflu
30 April 2009

It is almost three years since we faced the hysteria of an avian flu epidemic, when governments bought billions of dollars of Tamiflu – the same anti-viral now being promoted to combat a supposed swine flu pandemic.  The shelf life of Tamiflu also happens to be three years.

The World Health Organization has, at the time of writing, increased its threat level to five, which means governments can activate their pandemic plans – and start handing out Tamiflu drugs.

This is extremely convenient for governments that would have very soon have to dispose of billions of dollars of Tamiflu stock, which they bought to counter avian flu, or H5N1.  The US government ordered 20 million doses, costing $2bn, in October, 2005, and around that time the UK government ordered 14.6 million doses.  Tamiflu’s manufacturer, Roche, has confirmed that the shelf life of its anti-viral is three years.

Roche’s directors ...

Well, you know, they’re all good friends.

July 2009.

Swine flu in full spate.

I’ve got my conspiracy hat on - pulled tight.  To those who poo-poo conspiracy theories, keep scrolling.

In the conspiracy world (which is growing exponentially) the term Problem, Reaction and Solution, (PRS) runs rife.  it goes something like this.

1.  Problem.  Government/media spread disinformation.  This is mega serious don’t worry.

2.  Reaction.  Panic/confusion get a grip somebody - something must be done.

3.  Solution.  Trust us big brother we’ll protect you.

It’s being played out as I speak.  Compulsory vaccination.
