Here's a crazy theory.

This Swine Flu mysteriously shows up in Mexico City around mid-April with no reports of it anywhere else in the world. Barack Obama was in Mexico City around that time. Now, one of his staffers reportedly has Swine Flu. The Swine Flu in question contains viruses from Asia.

Considering the fact this thing manifested itself out of thin air will little warning, what are the odds this is an engineered strain targeted at infiltrating the U.S. through Mexico?

Occam's Razor rips that theory to shreds. Sorry.

How? Do research on SARS and AI. Those floated around for quite a while before they started spreading. Scientists knew about them long before there were any human infections. Nobody seems to know anything about this particular strain.

If anything, Occam's Razor favors the disease being introduced versus occurring naturally.

Wouldn't you pick a disease that was a little more deadly?

The first outbreak was next to a pig farm. It's a combination of human, pig, and bird flus, because . If this is a biological attack, it's one of the most piss-poor bio attacks in history.

Imagine this:

1)The government announces that the virus is spread by hard currency...cash...coins. The nation, perhaps by force, makes the populace convert to a digital or electronic currency system, based around credit cards, debit, etc. Cash would go underground or be worthless. Out of fear, the government reaches their long-planned agenda of making all transactions accountable and visible to "big brother"

2) Mexico goes into a tailspin and America is forced to occupy, or even absorb, Mexico. It's not a New World Order, but a merging-in-everything-but name of the two countries, perhaps sharing a currency and even a duel-government...the goal is to further consolidate.

Be wary.

If someone spent ths effort to engineer this virus strain, I'd say they really wasted their time and money.

Well, I did say it was "a crazy theory."

If the government announced that the virus was spreading through cash and coins, the entire medical and scientific communities would be laughing their asses off.
