"We are at war with swine flu. We have always been at war with swine flu. We were never at war with terrorism ..." (apologies to George Orwell)

I have ranted about conspiracy theories plenty before as well, so I wont repeat all that again. But I will say that flu is an absolutely perfect topic for conspiracy theorists because however the always unpredictable flu turns out, they have a theory for every possible eventuality.
If the flu kills shitloads of people they can blame government or NWO or whatever for making this deadly disease.
If the flu is mild they can claim its all about controlling people or profit, and they can open up a conspiracy favorite, vaccinations, of which there are multiple different areas to get all foamy-mouthed about.

A starting point might be to note swine flu didn't bring down the twin towers and that, instead of being a reaction to imperialism, is a medical condition that will kill many thousands of people in this country this year. Not might, will.
In terms of swine 'flu being used to manipulate the agenda, it seems the potential risk of death is being used as a tool to better inform the public of how to access information and resources. How else should government act as the worst public health issue for decades looms ever larger - I think the public would like to know if you have better ideas?
I have issues with the presentation of TERRAH! in the UK but, unless someone can demonstrate otherwise, I don't think the two are being conflated to present a continuum.
Of far greater concern is the conflation between TERRAH! and corporate interests, as demonstrated by the ID card scheme and other IT/security based initiatives in relation to fraud prevention.

And you can almost see the history revisionists wiping terrorism out from the psyche. Never happened.
Ah, another one of those Fela threads posts that starts off with 'we' and then starts lecturing lesser others on what they/you feel.
Go and read White Noise or something.
Go back where you came from and fuck off. Or something.

He doesn't half talk a load of cobblers, doesn't he?

He's already started on the delusional approach of talking about shadowy others and what 'they' are using to keep us in supposed fear. What a giant pontificating ringpiece.
Nice racism though Fela. I quite like being here.
Ta very much
I don't think you've figured out this bulletin board business. You post, others follow who may or may not agree with you.
In this case you're talking a lot of cobblers, imo of course. I'd wash that pottymouth if I were you, or 'they' may come and point and laugh extra hard at you.

Tarranau, you don't appear to be listening very clearly: fuck off.

He doesn't want to read anyone else disagreeing with him. He's got bigger tizzy fits to throw and unsourced cobblers to spout.
After all, we Brits can't be expected to know our own minds and what's going on over here. We need some hippyish ex-pat to export his wisdom to us from tourist land.
You would do well to read that last post, fela.

You still poking your nose in here dillinger? Still, at least it gives tarranau a flimsy excuse to carry on with his 'we' crap.
I pretty much agree with him, as it happens.

I must admit, I did think of that book - The Shock Doctrine - which theorised that capitalism in it's current form seems to have a need to keep people in a state of perpetual panic ("disaster capitalism", the author calls it). The sources of the panic may be genuine, but the hyped panic is egged on.
