Swine flu cooked up in a lab (updatedx8)

April 26, 2009 | by David Steven | More on Global system | 5 comments

From 9/11 truther mission control, Infowars, comes stunning news: “deadly swine flu… was cooked up in a lab.”

Yes – the first swine flu conspiracy theories are hitting the Internets, providing a rare opportunity to view these numb skull paranoids as they struggle to assemble a few fragments of information into a suitably cunning plot.

Here’s how it goes:

Evidence: The flu virus is reported to combine “genetic material from pigs, birds and humans in a way researchers have not seen before.” Implication: the virus was probably deliberately released.

Evidence:  ”In all U.S. cases, the victims had no contact with any pigs.” ImplicationPigs are evil… er they caught it from other people… er pigs never had anything to do with it.

Evidence: A public health official says: “This strain of swine influenza that’s been cultured in a laboratory is something that’s not been seen anywhere [before].” Implication: The poor guy wasn’t referring to standard identification techniques, but letting slip vital details of a dastardly scheme. WE TOLD YOU IT WAS DELIBERATELY RELEASED.

Evidence: The world has huge stock piles of Tamiflu. Top globalists and Bilderberg members like George Shultz, Lodewijk J.R. de Vink and former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld” have a financial interest in Tamiflu. Implication: THEY’RE BEHIND THE ATTACK.

Evidence: The 1976 swine flu scare didn’t add up to much. Implication: RUMSFELD WAS BEHIND THAT TOO.

Now I am sure the story will become more polished as additional information is available to be distorted. But remember. This is how it started. And this is how little evidence these cretins need to start spinning their fantasies…
