What Gives? Why Is Homeland Security's Napolitano Giving Swine Flu Briefing? (Video)
ConservativeXpress ^ | 4/27/09

Posted on 04/27/2009 5:58:03 AM PDT by DrGop0821

I understand that Health and Human Services nominee Kathleen Sebelius is still awaiting confirmation, but why is DHS head Napolitano acting as the point man for the Obama Administration?

She is having a hard enough time keeping up with her job as it is. It just seems a little odd that the woman tapped to protect homeland security is discussing a virus outbreak. Unless...

Could it be that we are not being told the truth about swine flu?

As the virus spreads, more and more people — and even a few virologists — believe H1N1 is a human-engineered pathogen. On April 25, the journalist Wayne Madsen wrote:

Our Mexico City source said a top scientist for the United Nations, who has examined the outbreak of the deadly Ebola virus in Africa, as well as HIV/AIDS victims, concluded that H1N1 possesses certain transmission “vectors” that suggest that new flu strain has been genetically-manufactured as a military biological warfare weapon. The UN expert believes that Ebola, HIV/AIDS, and the current A-H1N1 swine flu virus are biological warfare agents.

Past swine flu outbreaks have been spread from pigs to humans, who then passed the flu on to other humans. However, with A-H1N1, there have been no reported infections of pigs. In fact, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), A-H1N1 has gene segments from North American swine, bird and human flu strains and a segment from Eurasian swine flu. Costa Rica, Brazil, and Peru have issued alerts to check all incoming passengers from Mexico at border crossings, airports, and seaports for symptoms of the swine flu.

Meanwhile, in the United States, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano has instituted “passive surveillance” of travelers entering the country.

Napolitano announced this on Sunday. On Friday the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said it was too late to contain the swine flu outbreak in the United States.

A lot of wierdness going on.

Yesterday FOX news was calling John Brennan the director of the CDC. Michael Besser is the interim director of the CDC since January 20th.

Brennan is the man who was running the company that breached passport files of the Candidates during the election and later hired by Obama as an intell advisor.

Seems to me that all of our federal health related agencies have been taken over by intell and security.

Did she blame the flu on Canadians or Veterans. Maybe it’s Canadian Veterans. Since it came from Mexico, it’s probably caused by Conservative, anti-abortion groups. That’s the only logical conclusion.

If there ever was an excuse for implementing martial law, a panic over some barely serious epidemic would be the one “they” use.

Because the DHS is for protecting the government, not the people. They cannot afford to let it be known that this “epidemic” was engineered by them, just like the financial “crisis”, before they institute martial law.

A flu outbreak and subsequent quarantines would give bambi a great excuse to curb movement within the country and institute martial law or ssome for of more direct federal control of our freedom to travel. One more nail in the coffin of liberty.

Can pigs now catch this virus if it was man made? There will be a lot of drunks disappointed that they can’t have the cure all bacon for their hangovers.

This is the opportunity Obama needs to ban pigs (they’re offensive to Muslims, after all) as part of the long-term goal of making the US a Muslim nation.

I just got a briefing from my housekeeper. She called her relatives in San Luis Podusi (sp?) and the town is shut down by the flu. No one is on the street, no stores, schools, markets, no food. They are burning dead bodies. I am getting really scared.

An Advanced Biowar Event That Will Be Bigger Than 9/11

Young healthy adults seem to be the most at risk. This is similar to the deadest killer flu in history, Spanish Flu in 1918. Most if not all nations with advanced biological warfare programs have been interested in recreating the Spanish Flu DNA sequence and several are reported to have done so.

The new Mexican Swine Flu has elements of DNA from the following: avian flu, human flu Type A, human flu Type B, Asian swine flu, and European swine flu. A strange combination never seen before and having less than 1/10% chance of being a natural event. Human and animal viruses from four or more continents suddenly recombine in a new flu during a non-flu season that spreads from human-to-human with a 10% fatality rating.

I see this as an opportunity for them to push socialized health care, at the very least.

The ramifications of an engineered flu outbreak are not pretty.

This leads one to wonder... if the virus is a bioweapon, then it’s spread could NOT be human to human contact, but rather planted in certain locations to make it crop up over a wide area at a time, thus making containment all the harder.

And providing more justification for drastic action by the feds.

In my opinion, madison, that is exactly the plan and that is to institute marshall law and to follow that with suspending habeus corpus.

He says he revere’s Lincoln. This is perhaps the only thing he likes about him.

And I thought I was going out on a limb with my speculations.

After reading the posts in this thread, I was more conservative in them than I thought.

Not that I disagree with what you posted.

I understand that this virus is different but when I think about it being deliberate and man made, I always come up with the same thought, won’t a world wide pandemic come back to bite the responsible group in the butt? If it is world wide, where can they hide? (unless they already have a vaccine)

(I hate tin foil hats, they give me a headache)

What is the liberals’ central purpose in taking over the health care industry? Control.

They want to control every aspect of human life and mind for the purpose of social engineering. Seeing health and police state operations intertwining is no big surprise here. To control every aspect of the human life and mind, one needs a overpowering police State tasked with enforcment.

The new Mexican Swine Flu has elements of DNA

Sorry to rain on your parade, but I've heard influenza is a ribovirus, i.e. doesn't contain any DNA...

I wonder where your information comes from - the source link doesn't seem to respond for me. Is it someone's opinion? If there is a legitimate basis for suspecting a malign source, it would be great to have some credible intel for it on FR.

No. It is all Bush’s fault.

No. It is all Bush’s fault.

Here's my reply from a different thread:

Quote: Napolitano said, “We have bad news and we have good news. The bad news is that a significant number of the US population will probably contract the disease and die a horrible, lingering death. The good news is that we’ve figured out a way to blame the Bush administration.”
