I Can See Clearly Now

Suddenly, many of Shelvis's conspiracy theories have begun to make sense. Government is indeed attempting to use Swine Flu as justifaction to pass new legislation giving even more power to the so-called authorities:

"A "pandemic response bill" currently making its way through the Massachusetts state legislature would allow authorities to forcefully quarantine citizens in the event of a health emergency, compel health providers to vaccinate citizens, authorize forceful entry into private dwellings and destruction of citizen property and impose fines on citizens for noncompliance.

If citizens refuse to comply with isolation or quarantine orders in the event of a health emergency, they may be imprisoned for up to 30 days and fined $1,000 per day that the violation continues."

What better way to round up dissidents and 'enemies of the state' than saying they are diseased and they are being quarantined/imprisoned for their own good?

Also of note is a link from Drudge to the Updates On Iran blog. The blog is reporting that recent declassified documents link Iran to the Lockerbie bombing. Of course, that particular terrorist act is front page news again due to the inexplicable release of the Lockerbie bomber by Gordon Brown. Could it be that a 'case' is being made for military action against Iran and their nuclear ambitions? Hard to say, but it's all kind of convenient, no?

I hate thinking like a conspiracy theorist though, because there are so many legitimate reasons to dislike this current administration. However, the way authorites are reacting to flu outbreaks makes me think something is going on....

Thoughts?
