See. . .!!!!! That's what I don't understand! Why the media hype for a virus that doesn't kill effectively? I understand that the media has a hidden agenda. That's obvious. But WHY the hype over this flu bug when it is being shown that it is less lethal?
Another post stated that it is because of the economy.
But c'mon, we aren't THAT stupid. Granted there are alot of sheep around but to this degree?
I can't believe that the American people are buying this cr@p!!

I noticed in somewhere in ATS forum. other mention someone died in the Corpus Christi,TX. that person look to foward to watch news TV or media about it. but nothing at all.

in Mexico .. sure strange stuff nobody report to youtube.com from mexico. maybe there are block internet due to prevent mass panic?

You received your information from "a friend of a friend" via email? Hmm..possibly. But I live in El Paso, and have heard not a peep from a single soul about any confirmed cases at Thomason or any other hospital. Guess we'll have to see if this actually pans out. I do know there are 11 new "suspected" cases on top of 5 or so before. I'm just wondering what "suspected" means. If I have a fever and body aches, would I fall under the "suspected" cases? This is all a bit odd to me.

I predict you are going to see over the next few days is a return to the apocalypse waiting game that we have seen time and time again as the great swine flu scare of ought-nine peters out.

The apocalypse fetishists are going to inevitably revert to "This was just a taste, the REAL swine flu apocalypse is going to come next flu season". And of course it won't. And there will be some lame excuse as to why, or maybe even nothing at all as the next big shiny apocalypse-to-be captures everyone's attention.

Just like every single other OMG-THIS-IS IT!!! apocalypse fetish since the Fema-NWO depopulation plans were discovered back in 1994.

Because hype = ratings! Why does the Weather Channel go out of its way to hype every friggin' hurricaine? Because hurricaines double their ratings, which results in advertising dollars in their collective coffers! The equation that TV pandering = big sponsorship dollars has been in place since the inception of television. Pandering is what TV does best, and always has. If television is your only source of information then you are an extremely uninformed individual.

All of us that frequent this most delightful website should always bear in mind the fact that this is the perfect place for both information and disinformation. We all have our own "pet theories" concerning certain aspects of our collective reality, as well we should. But we should always be especially skeptical of any posts we see on a public internet forum that seems to back our own suspicions up without any bonafide way to independently assertain the truthfulness of the facts thus stated. The current thinking in the governments of the world is that if they can control perception then they can control the whole country, if not the world. Any bit of info that fits too neatly into your admittedly paranoid world view should be held up to the strictest of reviews before you actually accept them as being truth. The Swine Flu hype is just the latest example of that. All flus are lethal to at least a few people. Even if this really turns out to be the "Big One", the ultimate pandemic that common sense will tell you must eventually happen, that doesn't necessarily mean that this is the work of the Illuminati. In point-of-fact, given the truth that a bio-engineered virus, one meant to decimate our current world population, would be indescriminant in just who it infected, then it seems to me that the NWO folks would be putting not only themselves at risk, but also their loved too.

It seems to me to be more likely that, if the NWO wanted to drastically reduce the world population, then tghey would initiate a nuclear war around the globe. They could retreat not only themselves but also their loved ones to the safety of underground bunkers while the rest of us took the brunt of their war of mass extermination. I, personally, do not put a lot of stock in the latest Swine Flu hype. Nor do I think that it is a carefully orchestrated medis event meant to distract us away from all the political hogwash that is currently going down in Washington. to me it's just another germ moving thru the population. TV wants something other than Obama @ 100 days to focus on, and so they focus on this.

have died from this flu?

15,000 to 30,000 citizens die from the Flu each year.

Looks like they want to shut down the economy!

I see fear and paranoia for the profits of the drug companies.

Man This is a flu also, I am sick and tired of people saying well this flu is more deadly then the other flu, come on man , think, this is a flu also, and its very contagious so just doing the numbers that number you are using to make yourself feel better will prob. go up also.. Flu is flu man. You dont make me feel better by comparing flu to flu man.. Just think about what your writing.. Sorry if this is warm but man come on. use that brain..

Contrary to the Original Post though, CNN did do a piece on its website yesterday about Patient 0. Five-year-old Edgar Hernandez is alive and well and attributes his survival quite naturally to Ice Cream.

Sounds like mainstream media "feel-good propaganda"..... Id like to see the tests that confirm this kid actually had the flu to begin with....

CNN is the censored news network afterall, however i do agree with your request for moderation and skepticism in regards to some of these rumors

I concur and wonder myself if it the interview with the boy and his mother was purely scripted and staged. Things are seldom what they appear in this world and it's wise to suspect...

I can tell you from first hand experience it's hard to outguess the Powers that Be...very often they have a knack for anticipating how people will naturally rebel against some things and reverse engineer it in how they present it so that while you think you are fighting against it, they entirely unbeknownst to you have you fighting for exactly what they want.

They are after all typically the sharpest tacks on the board and not the dullest.

Personally I think it's better to just flat out ignore the plot of the week and let them play in the sandbox all by themselves.

I live in a hurricane zone and am always prepared for a month of being cut off from everything...when you live in a hurricane zone you know every now and then a storm is going to come your way. Could be a little one, could be a big one...always being prepared for either just makes sense.

Surest way to not get a hurricane, have everything on hand to weather one!

The Universe has a sadistic and twisted sense of humor if you ask me my friend.

In my humble oppinion thinking positive thoughts manifests positive things and I do wish so many people weren't intent on resting their fears on worst case scenarios but actively placing their hopes on best case ones.

Careful what you wish for, you just might get it!

Thanks for your reply my friend.

I live in Mexico Have a Apple service center and we get lot of people in our store and service and touch dozens of laptops everyday, we only disinfect the floor once a day and wash our hand every 30 minutes, we are not using N95s.

I am the administrator of 2 very large websites auto related and we have threads there that ask for ANYONE to post if they know someone sick or dead from the flu, with 5000 members jsut in the city NOT A SINGLE ONE.
\\I am not saying all this is a lie, I am saying that a lot of folks are getting on the EOTW bandwagon.

The doctor that put the info is full of it, I live within 2 minutes of 2 of the largest private hospitals and thre are no signs of alarm, nor ambulances or full parking lots, in facts they were quite empty.

So just take care be safe and dont belive that MExico city has dead people on the streets and dying by the thousands, that is simply BS.\

HEck I went to chillis last weekend and have worked even today...damn fear machine 24/7
\

Tomorrow we will be in the store for 2 hours to give fixed laptops to client I will take video and take it to you tube and from te hospital if they let me.
Ill keep you posted

One of those articles asks: "Is the swine flu in Central Florida?"

Well, I can tell you this. My fiancee's parents went to Florida in Early April to visit relatives. They came home with the mother of all flus. It was so bad that they instructed us not to come over. This was not your everyday flu. This was bad. Folks, this was in EARLY April..... They have known about it for some time now.

The trick is that trespass and petit larceny are both misdemeanors while burglary is a felony. The FBI only keeps crime statistics of certain felonies in those crime rate stats you see on the news.

I am sure that the same thing is being done here where the doctors are being told to fudge patient charts. It is all about lying to the masses.

You sound like you know what you're talking about... much appreciation for sharing a piece of government lies.
