No we’re not. Read on.

I’ll be honest. I first came across the swine flu bringing up yahoo, about to type in a search for something writing related. I always do a quick scan of the headlines (I’m really looking for the disastrous day that George Clooney gets married before meeting me) and when I saw the one about the swine flu I remember shaking my head, and thinking “un huh, yeah, okay” and going about my business. Then my very smart friend Matt came into work a few nights later and asked me if I had been paying attention to the news. My response was along the lines of “no, not really it sounds to me like another fear machine beating. We haven’t been near threat level orange in a while,” I remember telling him, “They gotta make sure they can still scare us.” He shook his head at me and said something like, “Crystal it’s not all a government conspiracy.” Like I’m some paranoid. But I gave pause, because for a moment I felt a little dumb. I asked him what he thought. He quoted what he’d heard in the news. I’m listening politely but I’m still skeptical. He says, x number of people have gotten sick, cases here and here and here in the US and this many people have died. I asked him where he got his numbers from. The news he says. I give him a look; he gives me the same one back, as if to say “don’t go there, this is real.” While I respect his opinion, as far as I’m concerned anything I hear from the “news” has the potential to be tainted or blown out of proportion. It’s a business, not a truth spreading organization. We would all do well to remember that.

“You’re gonna DIE! Find out how at six.”

Get my point? But he did make a fairly decent point when he said, “I think this should be watched like we watch hurricanes. We don’t panic but we do keep an eye on it.” Fair enough. So now I’m keeping a very loose eye on it, except I’m skimming the (in my opinion) bullshit that’s coming from the controlled media outlets and paying more attention to alternative new sources to see what they have to say about it.

The conclusion I reached this evening, and the reason to spark this blog post is that I think my initial thought about this whole thing was right. It could be a government or corporation manufactured thing released for whatever reason. It could be a side effect of the pig farms down in Mexico. Those and other slaughterhouses are the reason I don’t eat meat. I won’t support that industry, plus the shit is bad for you, and bad for the environment, period. It wouldn’t surprise me if this “pandemic” was one day uncovered to have been done maliciously to see how quickly it can knock us all off, or to see if they start force feeding us vaccines, or to see if we’ll cry louder for the government to take over our health care, blah blah blah. Lots of things have the potential to occur because of fear. This could be a simply test of the broadcasting system to see how high consciousness levels really are, and if they are still as good as they use to be at getting us to believe their bullshit. Their motives we may never know. But, I am not afraid of catching the swine flu. I exercise. I eat as healthy as I can, I could probably eat healthier but whatever. We are all works in progress. And I will not buy into the terror that we are all gonna die from this killer unless we run out and grab whatever drug the CDC and WHO and their pharmaceutical bosses are suggesting. Not after doing my research. And in true Crystal fashion, I’m going to provide you all with a little homework too, something other than the crap on Fox and CNN.

To help put it into perspective for you Malaria kills 3,000 people A DAY, and all these important sounding organizations that have you ready to quarantine yourself in your house call it a “health problem.” That’s a motherfucker. Regular flu kills 36,000 people a year. Anit that a bitch. Chances are better that mother nature is going to send a bolt of lightening up your ass than you’re going to die from the swine flu (while funny its true. A little over a thousand people die every year from lightning strikes). And contrary to what they’ve been telling you, there are other reports that only 7 people have died from this so far, not 150.

I vote we stop the madness! But, like my friend suggested, I will keep my eye on it.

However, we need to remember -

The human body is a remarkably resilient machine. It’s actually pretty fucking amazing what it can do. If we allow it to its job, it’ll be all right. But if you’re feeling a little biggity, don’t panic. It’s cool. Thank your Ego for its contribution, and then tell it to go to its corner and shut the fuck up. Let a higher, quieter voice prevail. These are the moments when we really should listen. Get plenty of sleep. Get your vitamin C and your vitamin D. Make some spaghetti and toss some garlic on that dish to help your immunize system. Take your dog, or you kid for some walks after work in the evening, morning, afternoon whenever you have time to get your exercise and increase circularly function which will better assist your immune system in doing its job. Keep a little hand sanitizer around. You don’t even need water, just rub that shit and it’s all good. If you’re feeling a little sniffly, or sore throaty take some Echinacea. If you’re really feeling the flu systems, it’s cool head on over to your doctor but don’t let him shoot you up with anything. Get his opinion. Don’t panic. Do not add your energy to the fear. I’d highly recommend you not go get a vaccine especially if you’re thinking of that Tamiflu ish. Or at least before you do, take the time to do a little research on vaccines and Tamiflu from two different sources, preferably one’s that disagree with each other. Please. But above all else, get your mind right. It does affect your cells.

And don’t be surprised to note that as the fear goes up, so does the stock market. Hmmm…..

Or we could, yah know, bring it back down.

Espavo,

DCS

P.S. I know I’m a little feisty tonight. The whole thing has me a little annoyed so I’m practicing deeply feeling the feeling. Don’t laugh! This is a big thing for me
