Why Is Obama Admin Suppressing Info On First Swine Flu Death?

"A 23-month-old child from Texas has become the first American to die from the swine flu outbreak, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta confirmed today. The CDC released no other information about how — or where — the child may have contracted the disease." — ABC report, “First U.S. Death From Swine Flu in Texas the CDC Confirms”, April 29, 2009 [emphasis added]

My antennae started to go up as I heard various reports about the first reported swine flu death in the USA. A 23-month old child “from Texas” was all that we were told. Googling, I found the ABC article above pointedly mentioning that “the CDC released no other information about how — or where — the child may have contracted the disease.”

Maybe because the child and its parents were/are illegals. Maybe the administration doesn’t want to stir up any close -the-border talk, especially NOW when there is no excuse for leaving it wide open.

OR maybe it isn’t really swine flu, but a new strain of disease with no known remedy.

No, the CDC confirmed it's swine flu today.

“This whole swine flu story smells. The more I see I can’t help but think this is anther manufactured crisis by the BO administration.”

Rightly stated! I believe this is TPTB shutting down Tea Parties and public gatherings in general.

The flu is real: but the pattern of deaths looks like an iatrogenic problem at the Mexican end.

It is the government, so it will not happen until it is too late and it will be mostly useless. It goes something like this, First schools with be closed(already happening), then cancelling of public gatherings, inspection of travelers, the next few are really big, shutdown of air travel and interstates, closure of businesses, border closures. Japan has already started some of this.

If it is such a threat to the nation then why haven’t they shut down the US/Mexican border?

Conspiratorial minds could say that the Obamites are trying to goad the Minutemen and other groups into an emotional overreaction, in order to discredit them and brand them as 'racists' and 'xenophobes'.

They are SUPPRESSING the fact that the kid was an illegal alien from MEXICO.

It's always about power and privilege. Always.

That's the sad part about it all. America used to be a place where representatives in government were upstanding, honest people, whose ideas were not necessarily about power and privilege, but about an idea about our government being different from others inasmuch as individual responsibility and liberty would drive people to a better life. Because our government is now about the pursuit of power and privilege, our way of life is being threatened. Idealists, today's "thinkers", have driven our country to the crossroads and patriots such as ourselves need to be vigilant.
