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. ”
