Let's Play P.I.G.

After sitting back for a few days, watching the media (and pharmaceutical companies) go absolutely ballistic about this "swine flu" thing, I have my strong suspicions that not only is the hysteria man-made, but this "virus" just may be, also. The rate of speed with which the virus appeared and traveled, not to mention its combination of viruses very unique in the flu pool, have made any thinking person very wary.

Of course, I'm not saying that it IS man-made, but that it is very possible. Even that seem anathema to some ("Of COURSE our government would never do this!" they say. Rrrright-- this isn't teen acne we're talking about here, people). The government has a record of abusing people as guinea pigs to get what they want...

And if the governments of North America were so terribly concerned about a "pandemic," why haven't the borders been closed? Unless, of course, the governments of North America are desiring a pandemic.

Jean, a fellow blogger and a NY Examiner, has had some excellent articles about this issue of pandemics. With all this information, something smells that there has been a media blackout of very important (yea, critical) news reports. And why the laissez faire attitude by the governments? Containment of the virus has not been in their agenda at all-- but control of the populace is. That makes them immediately suspect, in my opinion. We'll see how things develop. But realize that the government is looking for any tiny excuse to shut down our communications with each other, to suspend the Bill of Rights, and enforce martial law. Upstate New York seems to be the petri dish, too.

A recently proposed but little-noticed Senate bill would allow the federal government to shut down the Internet in times of declared emergency, and enables unprecedented federal oversight of private network administration.

The bill's draft states that "the president may order a cybersecurity emergency and order the limitation or shutdown of Internet traffic" and would give the government ongoing access to "all relevant data concerning (critical infrastructure) networks without regard to any provision of law, regulation, rule, or policy restricting such access."

Why would they shut down the Internet? Why not the newspapers, magazines, radio, and television? Because shutting down the Internet is shutting down the people.

All very suspicious.
