>These are the swine who live to scare you because they know this is

>will not take the time to check out the "facts" they are telling

>All of which brings me to the Swine flu or its more politically 
>correct name, H1N1. It is another variant of the flu that goes

>supposed to kill millions, but didn't? Or what about the regular

>when it clearly is not?

>My friend and colleague, Michael Fumento, arguably one of the best 
>investigative writers in America, had a commentary about the Swine 
>Flu in the October 8th edition of the New York Post. "The real 
>threat is panic" neatly slices and dices the lies about the Swine 
>Flu, citing data from around the world to demonstrate that "There is 
>no flu epidemic."

>There is the seasonal flu and I take this to be a good reason to 
>avoid the rather hastily created vaccine for the Swine Flu in 
>preference for the regular one that's widely available. And, yes, I 
>did get my annual shot.

>It strikes me that scaring enough people to take the Swine Flu 
>vaccine is very much a part, if not the whole purpose, of the whole 
>orchestrated effort to panic people. If this is not accomplished, 
>those spreading the misinformation about the Swine Flu would be in 
>for some severe condemnation. This way, they can clam they were just 
>doing their job to protect the public.

>The Swine Flu panic comes out of the same box of tricks that tells 
>people that drinking anything from a plastic bottle will eventually 
>kill them if old age doesn't get them first. It's the same 
>foolishness that warns against taking vitamins and minerals to 
>supplement the body's need for them.

>It's the same lies that try to get people to stop eating meat, 
>drinking soda, or that there's an obesity "epidemic" in America 
>where food is not only fast, but cheap and tasty. Meanwhile, you can 
>pick up Le Big Mac in Paris' famed museum, the Louvre, these days or 
>in downtown Beijing.

>With a lifestyle that has extended the average life expectancy in 
>America from age 43 in 1900 to 78 today; the government seems 
>desperate to get people to die off at an accelerated rate before 
>Social Security and Medicare goes broke even sooner than expected.
>
>Naturally, in the bizarro world in which the Democrats live, they 
>are trying to enlarge the number of Medicare recipients so that 
>life-saving procedures can be denied to even more of them.

>Only children singing the Obama song believe anything the government 
>tells them. The rest of us would do well to assume it is mostly lies.
