America Uses Swine Flu to Cover its Sins: Echourouq al-Yawm, Algeria
One of the many conspiracy theories prevalent in the Arab world – and elsewhere – is that the United States invented HIV/AIDs, infected people in the rest of the world and blamed it on Africans.
In a new twist on this theory, Abed al-Nasser of Algeria’s Echourouq al-Yawm writes that the U.S. infected Mexico with swine flu to make itself look good by saving its southern neighbor:
“America, the country of Nobel Prizes in every science and that wants to change the maps of the world and the histories of its peoples, now brings us its newest invention. A quarter century after it terrorized and kept us busy with Human Immunodeficiency Virus [HIV], it now offers us ‘swine flu.’ … The entire world is made to suffer these American inventions to distract it from more sensitive issues, in the same way as the September 11 bombings were used to force the world to fight terrorism according to America’s definition of the word. Or the way Hurricane Katrina and the global financial crisis have been used to make the world forget its concerns and tragedies and sympathize with suffering in America – where all the trouble began in the first place. ”

This story just goes to show that the mad ravings of the ignorant and paranoid respect no boundaries. Might as well call it a plug for education, which in the end will be our only salvation… despite various superstitions to the contrary.
Most influenza and “cold/flu” viruses come from keeping pigs and chickens/ducks in close proximity. Something about virus mutation between those two hosts makes the resulting critter more compatible with humans. After all, we're pretty close to swine biologically speaking [and some GOP, spiritually..lol..].
So all the hype about the “swine flu” is just that. Any flu going around is very likely to be “swine flu”. Like I said, we had a really nasty virus, probably swine originated, circulating a couple of months ago that was dropping strapping young adults like flies and keeping them down for weeks…lingering relapses are still going around… I can only imagine how many elderly and infirm died from it and the death certificate merely read, “of natural causes”…well duh… all flus and viruses are of “natural causes” even if manmade..
But scaring the crap out of people with this trumped up announcement about an ordinary phenomenon did serve to sway the public away from the media spotlight on torture for a bit.
So “swine” flu might be the best moniker for the outbreak..lol..
