Smashing Pumpkins’ Billy Corgan: Swine Flu Part Of Obama Conspiracy


billy-corganIs Smashing Pumpkins lead singer Billy Corgan trying to get into politics or perhaps auditioning for a leadership role in a right-wing conspiracy group? Because judging by the current political temperature his latest blog post might make for a quick entree into the world of birthers and death panelists. That said, one supposes it was only a matter of time before someone made the leap from Glenn Beck’s sort of assertion that the Government is looking to create swine flu concentration camps to the idea that swine flu is part of some Barack Obama conspiracy. This from Corgan’s blog.

I have friends that have gotten the swine flu. All of them told me they felt very, very sick, and that it was awful. So I’m not in any way suggesting that the H1N1 virus is not real…I would suggest however that it is possible the virus is not a naturally occurring virus. I have read reports from people who say (as doctors) that there is evidence to suggest this virus was created by man; to call it Swine Flu is then a misnomer, as it really is Swine Flu plus some other stuff stitched together. These doctors said such genetic mutation was impossible in nature.

Why might a man create a swine flu virus?

I say ‘propaganda’ because, in my heart, there is something mighty suspicious about declaring an emergency for something that has yet to show itself to be a grand pandemic. Our American President Obama has declared a national emergency about this virus, which he in his own words said was, at this point, a preventative measure. So, why declare an emergency if there isn’t one?…in our fear, we attract the worst, and, in conjunction with that, how those fears are used by others without integrity to try to create a power against Us to promote discomfort and dis-ease.

Ah yes, the power of fear in political matters! Also, there is a bunch of stuff about mandatory vaccinations. Not to rain on Corgan’s swine flu truther parade, but so far the vaccine has only been made mandatory for some U.S. health-care workers (who aren’t necessarily happy about it), but not for the general public. Even if it was — and if it was, you would have heard a much louder outcry long before now — there is not enough to go around, meaning that among other things by declaring this a national emergancy Obama may have actually made his life more difficult. In a sort of related side note, some what more grounded in reality, many New York City parents are apparently opting out of swine flu vaccinations.

    Come on–take the rest of his blog into context. He’s spouting about “vibrations” and “the fear that controls us”, etc. etc. Attempting any serious journalistic criticism of Corgan’s blog is like attempting serious journalistic criticism of David Icke. There’s no logical framework–no common ground “given”–to start from.

    As for the “right-wing audition” remark, I’m pretty sure Corgan had nothing nice to say about Bush in the last 8 years. Only the irrational political polar assume that because someone has nothing nice to say about Obama, that same someone MUST BE right-wing. It makes more sense that Corgan was going to mutter about “control” and “fear” no matter who won the presidency.

    But really…Billy Corgan? Must be a slow media-news day.

    Will Fed.Government’s Proposed Mandatory Health Insurance Work?
    October 29th, 2009 | By Robert Fredricks Posted in Health Insurance News

    Understanding Health Reform

    The Government’s proposed mandatory health insurance has been the headline of most news media and on most American’s minds these past months. But, there have been many reports, studies and surveys that show Americans will most likely “not comply” with the mandate of health insurance as reported by the Insurance Research Council.

    Most Americans are concerned about how the government office will enforce such a mandate as “regulation is only as good as enforcement.” Also reported in the recent studies of the Insurance Research Council is that some people are “simply irresponsible and look to others to buy their insurance.”

    With the government proposed order of making it mandatory for all Americans to have health insurance, many wonder about the affordability for the insurance. As the nation’s unemployment rate rises, more and more people will drop those expenses necessary to “make ends meet.”

    However, under the proposed health reform, those Americans who refuse to purchase health insurance could face monetary penalties. The fines speculated in the health reform bill currently being reviewed by Congress could reach $1,000 for offenders. The Congressional Budget Office has reported that these fines to offenders caught without health insurance could raise billions in dollars over a ten-year period.

    What Will Be Considered Mandatory
    The Federal Government’s proposed mandatory health insurance will mean mandatory vaccinations/immunizations. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) says that for anyone who refuses to keep up-to-date vaccinations, under the new health reform, you will not be able to obtain any health care you may need until immunizations are current.

    It was also reported that the new health care reform bill was submitted with a provision that those doctors and hospitals who are not “meaningful users” of the new reform system will also be faced with fines and penalties. As well as the Secretary of Health and Human Services will be “permitted to impose more stringent measures of meaningful use over time.”

    Glynnis… after saying things that are completely untrue, and using Media Matters as a reference… does it bother you that both folks on the right AND the left don’t take you seriously? I mean, I can understand the right recognizing that you don’t know what you’re talking about, because all your posts are extremely biased and full of mistruths… but when even that Turks guy beats up on you… man, you just can’t catch a break! It’s a shame… you do your best to support the left, and yet they don’t respect you either. Oh well, maybe you should try being a real journalist for a while… but I won’t hold my breath.

    I know Billy Corgan is a RUSH fan (The Band). If you are a fan of RUSH, then you are a pretty big admirer of Neil Peart, who happens to be an avid libertarian/Ayn Rand kind of guy. . My guess is that that is where his political influence is coming from, which I think is great!! I also think these quotes are taken out of context.

    If you had actually watched the Glenn Beck story, you’d know that he was DEBUNKING the rumor that the government was creating swine flu concentration camps. Honestly, how can you be credible at all when you not only mislead, but state the EXACT OPPOSITE of the truth.

  • Smidge Smidge says:

    MY god are you this stupid? You know I watch Glenn Beck and funny the only time he ever brings up FEMA camps is when he is debunking them. Now either start reporting his statements correctly or call yourself what you are, partisan hack and shill. Beck is a good man who is concerned and apparently the lead singer of Smashing Pumpkins is to. I mean there is nothing wrong with anyone criticizing Obama. Its kind of a good thing. Unless you can’t handle the truth? Oh I get you can’t. So you lie about what Beck has said and lie about what other people have said. I wonder have you ever even listened to Glenn Beck? Probably not.

    Billy is sooooo right! People need to get a clue. Here is a little one:

    “Shortage Marketing” Disease and Death

    “This is called “shortage marketing,” Dr. Leonard Horowitz explains. “It is an increasing trend in the industrial world to get consumers to purchase products that are unappealing, over-inventoried, or scarce.”

    For weeks preceding Obama’s declaration of national emergency polls showed the vast majority of Americans, including health care workers, rejecting the seasonal and H1N1 flu vaccines. So with stockpiles high, despite allegations of manufacturing delays, the government’s promotions and policy changes simply reflect “shortage marketing.”

    But this is a “superficial concern” according to Dr. Horowitz, who references neurobehavioral and neurocognitive disorders demonstrated in vaccine recipients who were normal before getting vaccinated. He credits the brilliant work of Andrew Moulden, MD, PhD, photographically detailing tremendous physical damage occurring following vaccinations. These previously unknown and unseen subtle changes in nerve function and physical appearance is now demonstrated in pictures by Dr. Moulden that are irrefutable in courts and the scientific world.

    Dr. Horowitz, a Harvard-trained expert in behavioral science, media persuasion and public health education, has spent 20 years documenting drug industrialists’ and health officials’ criminal actions.

    “The only way to reconcile President Obama’s declaration of emergency, given the increasing risks of vaccine injuries, post-peak diminishing risks of H1N1, and the anticipated public health nightmare caused by live viruses “shedding” from those vaccinated to unvaccinated persons, is to follow the flow of money,” Dr. Horowitz says. “In the process of shedding vaccination H1N1, the highly unstable shed virus is expected to pick up more lethal genes from other circulating viruses, including possibly H5N1 that kills nearly 60 percent of those infected.”

    Dr. Horowitz notes that authorities have been mum on the triple recombinant H1N1 produced in labs for use in the “active” vaccine. Experts know this is highly unstable, because it is a man-made laboratory creation that did not evolve naturally over the millennia. This unstable mutant more readily recombines with other circulating viruses when it is shed for up to 3 weeks, thus exposing non-vaccinated people who are infected with other viruses.

    This is the best explanation for Obama’s anticipated “hurricane,” explains Dr. Horowitz, who criticizes the mainstream media for completely neglecting this greatest risk while falsely reporting vaccine “shortages.” Something else is obviously happening behind the scenes that only seasoned investigators can discern, he says.

    He diagnoses the alleged vaccine shortage as a profitable ploy used by those “who have outrageously obvious connections to the Population Council, the preeminent organization directing global depopulation, as encouraged by Obama’s science czar, John Holdren.

    Dr. Holdren is the co-author of the 1977 book, Ecoscience, which calls for massive global depopulation using sterilizing vaccinations.

    Dr. Horowitz points to the fact that Nonoxynol-9, a spermicidal drug causing spontaneous abortions in pregnant women, and birth defects in infants, is one of the many new “adjuvants” banned in the United States, but used by the American-based Baxter Company in their H1N1 flu vaccines stockpiled by European nations.

    Obama’s National Security Chief Of Staff Goes ‘Nucular’

    video

    After years of the cringe-worthy pronunciation of nu-cu-lar during the Bush White House, it seemed like we finally had an administration who had a litmus test in staffing their National Security detail - pronounce the word "nuclear." Not so. During an interview to discuss Iran's weapons program with MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell today, National Security Chief of Staff Denis McDonough definitely uttered the term Nucular. Gotcha! Right-wing critics eager for payback? Go! Video after the jump.
