'Smashing Pumpkins' Singer Claims Swine Flu Is An Obama Conspiracy

I love a conspiracy theory, how about you?

Although this one isn't necessarily new -- lots of folks have opined about the convenient coincidence of an escalating so-called pandemic mixed with an under-supply of vaccinations while the country debates healthcare reform -- it's all the more delicious when it comes from a rock star of some note.

With that in mind, when singer, songwriter, and leader of the now defunct alternative band The Smashing Pumpkins suggests swine flu "is not a naturally occurring virus," and that "President Obama has declared a national emergency" when "there isn’t one," you have to pay attention just for the entertainment value alone.

Obama is an opportunist, he is half right. Dose that make half right and half wrong or half right and half left?

There are people in the world who see Obama as a right-wing stooge. Now THAT’S a political spectrum.

Good to know he believes in God - actually it's smashing to know that fact! I am smiling politely.

Wow, go Billy Corgan! He’s a bit kooky, but there’s some good stuff in there.

I was a big Smashing Pumpkins fan when Gish came out, but they went downhill in a hurry. They were the worst live concert I’ve ever seen. Their encore was 20 minutes of noise. People left the coliseum in droves during the encore. I never bought another album of theirs.

The bald guy from Smashing Pumpkins: “The deeper message here might be that people will soon be ready to abandon the idea of a paternalistic system that governs this world. Before doing so, we must face down our deeper fears about our own liberty and tolerance. The time is coming when we will cast votes with our hearts and not our minds.”

Not to ruin his karma thingy, but didn’t we just vote our hearts not our minds a year ago? Hopeychangythingy.

I wonder if Billy still feels this way on electing 0:

“I’m very proud of my country right now for doing the right thing.” Billy Corgan (11-4-2008)

In Rainbow Six by Tom Clancy, a billionaire enviromental wacko creates a virus called Shiva. The plan is to release it at the Olympics, thus ensuring that it will go to every country on Earth. When the pandemic takes root, he intends to distribute the vaccine, which in reality is the virus. Within a year, 90 percent of the human population will be dead and “the planet is saved”. Of course being stewrads of the Earth, they stay in a Bioshpere until the virus runs its course.
