Swine Flu Psy Op

Mexico City.

The Swine Flu story sounds like a psy-op:

1. Millions die in Mexico each year from diseases such as TB, typhoid and malaria.

But we don't hear much about that.

Due to high levels of poverty in Mexico, there is a tendency for outbreaks of flu to kill large numbers of people.

"During a typical year in the United States, 30,000 to 50,000 persons die as a result of influenza viral infection." - Flu Pandemic Morbidity / Mortality

2. In the USA and Canada, flu symptoms have been described as mild.

"Several students experienced flu symptoms after they returned but they were so mild that they didn't raise any concerns." (Swine flu hits Canada)

This swine flu's a "relative lightweight" (Swine flu's a relative lightweight.)

The first reports of swine infections in Mexico came in mid-March.

The current swine flu strain still has fewer than 1,000 reported cases.

Remember: "During a typical year in the United States, 30,000 to 50,000 persons die as a result of influenza viral infection." - Flu Pandemic Morbidity / Mortality

So, why is publicity for the flu coming now?

3. The Flu Kills The Torture Memos

And reports of the Lockerbie Bomb case appeal (Lockerbie bomber launches second appeal).

4. And, certain fascist swine are hoping to make lots of money from selling vaccines.

"On March 20, 2009, this researcher outlined a peculiar PANDEMIC VACCINE TRAINING exercise in Texas scheduled to occur on Saturday, May 2, 2009." (http://www.rense.com/general85/dsd2.htm)

"There was a Swine Flu outbreak in 1976. President Gerald Ford asked that all Americans be innoculated.

"As it turned out, the disease only killed one person but the vaccine harmed hundreds and may have killed some." (This article addresses that question.)

5. And maybe the latest swine flu is meant to target certain groups?

Germ warfare `could target ethnic groups' acording to an article in The Independent

"Viruses ... tailored to detect the differences in the DNA of races could offer warmakers ... a new means to carry out 'ethnic cleansing'," said a panel convened by the British Medical Association (BMA).

6. Why Mexico?

Huntington

Samuel P Huntington saw a new threat to the United States: Mexicans.

"In The Hispanic Challenge, Huntington claims that 'the single most serious challenge to America’s traditional identity comes from the immense and continuing immigration from Latin America, especially from Mexico.'" - The Huntington Challenge: Why The Hispanic Challenge should be ...

Huntington and Hispanic immigration: "The extent and nature of this immigration differ fundamentally from those of previous immigration, and the assimilation successes of the past are unlikely to be duplicated with the contemporary flood of immigrants from Latin America.

"This reality poses a fundamental question: Will the United States remain a country with a single national language and a core Anglo-Protestant culture?" - Civilizations (print)

Samuel Phillips Huntington (April 18, 1927–December 24, 2008) was an American political scientist who gained prominence through his Clash of Civilizations (1993, 1996) thesis of a post-Cold War new world order.

7. Swine Flu and McDonalds

Maybe the swine flu is an accident, associated with factory farming and globalisation.

Maybe the swine flu started at a large pig producing facility in La Gloria in Mexico.

Only ONE case of swine flu was confirmed as having come from La Gloria.

Local and federal health officials are downplaying suggestions that the epidemic started in La Gloria.

(Swine Flu Baffles Experts And Raises More Questions Than Answers)

They insist that the other cases from La Gloria were from a completely different and common strain of flu, H2N3.

Governor of Veracruz, Fidel Herrera, told the press there was not a single indicator that the epidemic started in La Gloria.

Miguel Angel Lezana, the director of the National Centre for Disease Control, said that genetic information in the H1N1 virus show it is more similar to types of flu that affect pigs in Central and East Asia. (Swine flu: Mexico claims it started in Asia)

By 29 April 2009, the world's media were interviewing the mother of 4-year-old Edgar Hernandez who reportedly got swine flu on 2nd April 2009.

(‘I had a headache and fever' says boy who survived - Times Online / 'I feel great,' says five-year-old Mexican boy living near 'ground ... )

Edgar comes from La Gloria in Veracruz in Mexico, where there is the giant US-owned Smithfield Foods pig production facility.

60% of the 3,000 residents of La Gloria reported getting sick, including three children aged under two, who later died.

Edgar is quoted as saying: 'I feel great. But I had a headache and a sore throat and a fever for a while. I had to lay down in bed.'

Reportedly, it was confirmed, on 27April 27 2009, that Edgar was the first known sufferer of swine flu.

According to the Times, 'residents of La Gloria have been complaining since March that the odour from Granjas Carroll’s pig waste was causing severe respiratory infections.'

There have been calls to exhume the bodies of the children who died of pneumonia so that they could be tested.

The Vera Cruz-based newspaper La Marcha blames Smithfield’s Granjos Carroll for the outbreak of sickness.

Mexico's Health Secretary Jose Angel Cordova told reporters a sample taken from a 4-year-old boy in Mexico's Veracruz state in early April tested positive for swine flu.

Smithfield spokeswoman Keira Ullrich said the company has found no clinical signs or symptoms of the presence of swine influenza in its swine herd or its employees working at its joint ventures anywhere in Mexico.

The company supplies the McDonald’s and Subway fast-food chains.

Mexican Agriculture Department officials said that its inspectors found no sign of swine flu among pigs around the farm in Veracruz, and that no infected pigs have been found yet anywhere in Mexico. However, Ochoa, the farm manager, said no one from the government has inspected his farm for swine flu.

Smithfields was fined $12.3 million in the United States 1997 for violating the Clean Water Act.
