There is circumstantial evidence that this could be coming from the Iranians. Recently, an Iranian biowarfare specialist died under suspicious circumstances. Some people speculate that he was a double agent, gathering information on efforts to combat swine flu, so that the Iranians could design a more virulent strain.
His was not the only recent suspicious death. Four other bioweapons researchers died, supposedly while working on anthrax weaponization. It is well known that anthrax is a pretty poor biological weapon. It won’t affect many people, and is best targeted at one person at a time. Flu epidemics are much more effective if you want to attack a large population, and tie up the nation’s resources. There is speculation that these folks were either working on flu technology that was tested on pigs in China and someone got loose, or they were working on anti-viral vaccines and were killed to prevent the development of anything effective.
Other circumstantial evidence is outlined in this article. It raises several grounds for suspicion:
The swine flu virus is described as a completely new strain, an intercontinental mixture of human, avian and swine viruses. Tellingly, there ha More..ve been no reported A-H1N1 infections of pigs.
According to a source known to former NSA official Wayne Madsen, “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 the new flu strain has been genetically-manufactured as a military biological warfare weapon.
The thing you have to ask yourself, is who would be motivated to attempt such a thing? How would it help them? The terrorist factions—Taliban, Al Queda, Libya and Iran may all have reason to attempt to weaken Western nations. Several of these groups already possess bioweapons and other weapons of mass destruction.
We live in a dangerous world. Jealousy of the United States and ideological fanaticism is driving these efforts to bring down the most effective democracy in the world. Conspiracy theorists are too often laughed at. We should be paying attention, not dismissing them as paranoid cranks!
