This is all beginning to look highly suspect.

Firstly we have all been primed thru the media regarding flu epidemics/pandemics for about two years now, is this due to some nefarious individuals 'testing the water'? Secondly there was the Power Hour scare from about 3 weeks ago where some lady called in frantically worried regarding the transportation of 'bird flu' from new york to various places in the states. There is the fact that Donald Rumsfeld owns large shares in Tamiflu who look set to make a gold mine out of this incident irrespective of the doubts over it's efficacy as a flu treatment. Next you have the fact that its avian/swine/human hybrid which is just extremely bizarre and is much more likely to have been engineered than it is to have occurred naturally.

Next you have the point of the OP that no infected swine have been found in and around the epicenter of outbreak. We also have the comment made about Obama being tested by a major international crisis in the early months of his administration. And lastly, I'll leave you folks with this....Imagine if you wanted to unleash a engineered pathogen into the populous with the intent of causing a major global pandemic, be it for reasons of depopulation, or perhaps less extreme reasons, but for whatever reason, where would you unleash it? In a western, developed country where any potential pandemic could be quickly nipped in the bud, or in a developing, drug-war torn place like Mexico where their likelihood of controlling and containing the outbreak early on is minimal? I know what I'd do.

death sadens me no matter where it is found. i wonder about a relationship between dna and the virus. it could very well be that the poor standard of living leaves them more vulnerable in Mexico as you suggest. their immune systems would be weaker. another thought would be to draw a parallel to the horrific outbreak of deadly viruses brought to the americas by the european people. Mexican's are their descendents, so to speak. they could still be vulnerable to viruses to which europeans are not. this might be why it hasn't been so deadly in the americas where there are more descendants of the european people?

Whether this flu originated from pigs, birds or bigfoot I think most of us can reasonably speculate that it was genetically created and if not, at least modified. Maybe this is just a practice run to see how the people will respond if such a pandemic were to occur. Perhaps the original casualties were from the original flu and blown into something we know as the swine flu. I am not in any way saying this swine flu doesn't exist, but am saying this information could be one of the necessary proofs that this strain of virus was genetically engineered from the start for whatever purpose it may be.

Either way the media is distorting, skewing and tainting facts for methods of fear and control. Some worse than others. If this all pans out to be nothing I hope all of you will take it as a warning and be prepared for the next run.


Nothing is as it seems and perhaps this "flu" could be in the initial stages of something we are not capable of understanding and in essence, we are doing our best to describe something we don't entirely understand by calling it the swine flu.

Perhaps we have given a false definition to what this flu is when it is something else entirely. Also worth noting is the fact that some of us are just immediately believing what the MSM is telling us and freaking out. But with ATS and its mass of different angles on the subject I have learned a lot. Just speculating.

S&F!

Edit for bloody grammar.

Thank you for your input. Your info confirms my suspicions about the "no infected pigs found".
In events like this, image overrules truth many times.

The problem is how do you go about looking for infected pigs? It may in fact be more difficult than it at first seems. Allow me to make the assumption that you simply cannot test every pig for swine flu for logistical reasons.

Now to narrow down the numbers perhaps you would have to look for pigs showing physical symptoms of infection as the pig cannot tell you it feels ill. Though this is not so black and white either. As with a human reaction to a virus you may develop some, all or even none of the symptoms of a virus whilst being infected.

Then take into account that these pigs are kept on pig Farms. It is possible that an infected pig(s) may have been sent to an abattoir. Dead pigs would further be a good indicator of infection but again these are farm animals and farmers would be quick to burn the corpses of dead animals to prevent the remaining livestock from becoming infected. A combination of these factors may mean that finding infected pigs is in fact rather hard.

It is not actually known yet whether the mexican swine flu is able to infect pigs or any animal other than humans at the moment. Rather it is called swine flu for the fact that one of the surface proteins of this virus is most similar to viruses that usually infect pigs.

reply to post by janon obama's visit was very coincidental and lets not forget that he was with someone who died as a result of this flu 24hrs. later. i want to know why obama is still healthy? if that can be explained then we have our answer to what this actually is and how it is spreading.
