Josey, Some of the information in this article supports the allegation that the Spanish Flu epidemic was a biological weapon developed in the USA for use against the Germans in WWI.

The Virus was allegedly a combination of two viruses, the first one would weaken the imune system, the second one would kill the victim.
Quote: "The origins of this influenza variant is not precisely known. It is thought to have originated in China in a rare genetic shift of the influenza virus. The recombination of its surface proteins created a virus novel to almost everyone and a loss of herd immunity."

"I believe it is the President hyping this and Rumsfeld, but it has to be in combination with the people being fearful enough that they will accept the man on the white horse. My first reaction going from my political and medical background is that it's way overly hyped and to think that they have gone this far with it, without a single case in the whole country and they're willing to change the law and turn it into a military state? That is unbelievable! They're determined to have martial law."- Ron Paul
