RSSSwine Flu: Mexico’s Latest Export to America?
John Lillipop | April 23, 2009
By John W. Lillpop
Mexico continues to dump it’s illiterate peasants on the US side of the border because this failed third world state cannot, or will not, provide food, shelter, education, and health care for its own citizens.
Rather than enacting needed reform to clean up the corruption and incompetence in this socialist-infested cesspool, elitists like Vicente Fox and Felipe Calderon take the easy path, which means illegally shipping their problems north for American taxpayers to deal with.
It is bad enough that We the People, a nation of educated, sophisticated and prosperous people, have to share borders with a third world failure; it is nothing sort of a scandal that President Bush, and now President Obama, care, more about illegal aliens than they do about American citizens.
A Congress led by the likes of Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid further weakens the prospects for American citizens to be represented in Washington D.C.
In the environment of political malfeasance that has overwhelmed Washington in recent years, Mexican exports to America have included Salmonella, drugs, and Tuberculosis.
Now it appears as though swine flu has been added to the list of undesirables entering our pristine nation from south of the border.
As reported, in part, at alertnet.org

“Seven people have been diagnosed with a new kind of swine flu in California and Texas, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported on Thursday.
“All seven people have recovered but the virus itself is a never-before-seen mixture of viruses typical among pigs, birds and humans, the CDC said.
“We are likely to find more cases,” the CDC’s Dr. Anne Schuchat told a telephone briefing. “We don’t think this is time for major concern around the country.”
“Only one of the seven cases was sick enough to be hospitalized and all have recovered, Schuchat said.
“CDC officials are unsure whether the cases are related to an unusually late and severe flu season in Mexico in which 20 people have died.
“Generally the period of infection ends during the last week of February and the first week of March, but this year there was an atypical situation where the transmission period was prolonged until April,” Mexico’s Ministry of Health said in a statement.
“Symptoms from those seriously ill in Mexico include high fever, headache, eye pain, shortness of breath and extreme fatigue with rapid progression of symptoms to severe respiratory distress in about five days,” the British Columbia Centre for Disease Control said in a statement.”
Is Swine flu the latest plague to invade America from Mexico?
If so, when will American politicians face reality and acknowledge that Mexico is a foreign enemy of the United States?

Have you, as a so-called “educated and sophisticated” person, ever thought about WHY Mexico is suffering from all those problems? May it be because first world nations like the USA profit from the injustice that governs countries like Mexico?
Could you guarantee that you have never bought a T-Shirt produced in a bordertown sweatshop? Or that you have never eaten good ole cornbread made from cornmeal originating from Mexico? Have you never appreciated a clean toilent in a restaurant (which just happended to be cleaned by a LEGAL Mexican citizen working for minimum wage)?
Has it ever occurred to you that a loving mother would only leave her children behind because it is her only chance to save them from starving in front of her eyes? Migration could be reduced substantially if foreign governments supported more sustainable development projects like micro-credits in Mexico and other so-called third world countries, precisely because of and NOT despite the economical crisis (which by the way was caused first and foremost by the USA and but now has the whole world suffering).
By the way, their Latin American origins does not make Calderon and Fox socialists. That is very narrow-minded thinking. They are both conservative politicians and have nothing in common with socialists like Hugo Chavez. Vicente Fox by the way, having an American father, is an US American citizen.
Concluding I would like to add that a nation can olny be considered GRAND if it declares grace of charity (should ring a bell of any good christian!!) and generosity as its policy.
Do you know that the swine flu was seen firts in texas and california? maybe the swine flu is the latest weapon from US exported to world.
That’s true, the flu apeared in the USA. I’m mexican, I’m not a peasant,and I speak 3 languages and I’m proud of my people. If there weren’t peasants, you wouldn’t have any food, it’s a work that must be done and well paid, you shouldn’t reffer to them in such a despiteful way. The problem here is that the economic model has turned the world economy into what it is today, so poor people coming from countries like mine have no other option than to be almost slaves into those so called “first world! countries.
And the drug problem…you shouldn’t speak about that. Mexico is in trouble because the main consumer is the USA, and Mexico has the worst luck because we’re between the USA and Colombia, so…we don’t have such a drug problem like yours, young people like me don’t consume any drugs, we study, we work, and when we go to your country, we visit museums, parks…we don’t go there to the beaches and act like many young americans do when you come here, eventhough I know many americans that come here because they want to learn, Mexico is such a great country, and of course you don’t know there’s something else apart from Tijuana.
So what you should really ask yourself is what are you as a nation doing for your drug addiction? What are you really doing to change the economic situation? I respect conservative ideas, but as long as those ideas coming for someone intelligent, capable and objective enough to tell and respect the truth.
John W. Lillpop, you have no human quality, you are a just ignorant and racist. think about this: in the moment you are thinking that you are the one and the only people who is good and right, you are thinking exactly the same way as extreme muslims do.
Mexico is not only inmigrant aliens, corruption or incompetence, it is much more than that , but your hate against Mexico simply wont let you to understand it
Please leave your hate apart, you are just putting the other´s failures in a stunning light to get your own failures be hidden in the dark.
greetings
This got to be irony? Or? No human being can be so completely fucked up in his or her head to say or write something like this.
John Lollypop, either you´re the worst ironist ever or a you´re a petit animal totally clensed from all human qualities.
Nothing brings out the illegal immigrant apologists and blame America firsters like a good artiel about the problems of Mexico which Mexico refuses to address.

Well, then that would certainly exclude Mexico since their nation treats illegal immigrants from its southern border without any generosity what so ever. It would also exclude all the illegals who come here illegally, steal identities, etc. to escape the corruption of the government there!
@ jhn_zcs
When in doubt and unable to make a point you have a deck of race cards to play I see.

“So what you should really ask yourself is what are you as a nation doing for your drug addiction? What are you really doing to change the economic situation?

Hey, ever been to Mexico outside the resorts? You want to see “drug problems” you can go there and get enlightened! “We” don’t have a drug problem in this country. Some people do, and it seems to me lots of them are people in the Democrat Party base. Check out the inner city for proof of this. I am a Native Mexican who came here legally two decades ago while hordes of my countrymen were jumping fences illegally. And to be frank nothing makes me happier than seeing these cheap-os getting deported for trying to undermine this country.
You are certainly not “objective enough to tell and respect the truth.” Mostly because you don’t know it.
Mexico is a hell hole and getting worse every day. No one should defend it. America may not be as grand as it was when I came here due to the likes of Barney Frank, Ted Kennedy and Nancy Pelosi and now Obama but it is still a heck of lot better than there.
To those readers who responded with mindless rants about racism, how great Mexico is blah, blah, and blah, you must be illegal aliens or sympathizers! That is clear from your wretched English grammar and spelling. Real Americans do not write so foolishly.
In any event, my prognosis turned out to be honest, if brutally accurate. In fact, since my earlier report, the situation in Mexico has gotten dramatically worse.
Schools have been shut down for millions of students, and the nation is on the brink of a monumental health disaster on top of its raging civil war with drug citadels.
Truly, there can be no doubt that Mexico is a “failed state!”
The escalating situation in Mexico was reported, in part, by Reuters:

Check it out and learn how Mexico is imploding as we speak.
John:
I call you John because you do not deserve to be called Mr. Lollipop. I recommend you to go to the hospital and have a check-up. The flu epidemy came from USA and went into Mexico. It comes from pigs, just like you, and maybe you were responsible for it.
I am really sorry for those “educated, sophisticated and prosperous people” that live in the US, and that have to deal with un-educated animals just like Mr. Lollipig.
Ps: My apologies to all the pigs in the world for comparing them to Mr. Lollipig. I know that the comparison was a bit excessive and that the intelligence of Mr Lollipig doesn’t even reach 10% of the intelligence of an ordinary pig, but I needed this example.
Actually, I have only seen reports that it is the same strain as found in some people in California and Mexico NOT that it came from the United States. Then even if the first case was in the United States here are more questions that need answered.
1) WHO were those that got sick? Were they illegal or legal immigrants from Mexico or were they people that got sick from contact with such people?
2) If the first reported cases were in the United States, were there unreported cases in Mexico prior to this?
3) If the first cases were in the United States how did they get passed to Mexico? Was it taken there by returning illegals or legal Mexicans returning home?
The vast number of cases in Mexico compared to the limited number of cases in the United States seems to, in my opinion, point to the disease starting there first because the disease needs time to incubate and spread. The number of cases south of the border seems to point to a longer incubation time than the limited number of cases in the United States.
I think some people might be jumping to conclusions in order to crucify someone for saying something they don’t like and really don’t have a valid argument against it.
But then again what do I know? I’m just a LEGAL Mexican immigrant who was apparently too stupid to come here illegally and get coddled by politicians here in the States without a backbone!
Just a heads up to everyone. If you are going to use the comments section to attack Mr. Lillipop and not actually discuss the issue your comments will be sent to the spam bin and you can go cry about how you were mistreated by the mean old conservative website.
Webejamming would be an excellent reference for you to follow in responding. His questions in his second comment are actually very intelligent and relevant compared to a lot of what has been posted here so far.
My name is not Mr. Lillipop. It is actually John Lillpop. Please, try to get my name right the next time.
It appears based on reports that not only are the new cases in NY related to travel to Mexico, but also the cases in TX and CA as well. This as well as the advanced stages of the outbreak south of the border contunues to point to Mexico as the source.
Sorry if this offends anyone.
J.J. Jackson on April 24th, 2009 6:36 pm said that what he percieves as attacks on Mr Lillipop will taken away from this forum, while Mr Lillipops attacks on everything that does not fit his agenda are presented as ‘facts’ and, accordingly, remains. The logic of true fundamentalists that only want ‘dialouge’ dictated by them.
So, please, continue to censor comments not in line with your own. Thereby, you simply show your real face.

Incorrect Hans. But then again you are pretty much incorrect regularly aren’t you? He said, “Just a heads up to everyone. If you are going to use the comments section to attack Mr. Lillipop and not actually discuss the issue your comments will be sent to the spam bin and you can go cry about how you were mistreated by the mean old conservative website.”
You know, sort of like what you just did. You provided no actual discussion of the issue and just attacked because that is how you are hardwired to react to things you do not like. The facts about this outbreak are becoming more and more clear and it does indeed appear to have originated in Mexico. Sorry! And buh-bye!
I get it! Can’t refute the facts which are:
Mexico’s government is corrupt
Mexico’s socialist policies are failing the people of that country
Mexico has long encouraged its citizens to hop the fence to the US giving them fewwer mouths to feed
The US Congress has time and again worked to make such an act easier
AND that the outbreak looks to have been started in Mexico where there are more cases than you can shake a stick at …
Just shoot the messenger right Hans? Better that than the truth!
Yeah man we fucked u up again…… plus,we keep sending people up there, to pollute ur soil, jajajaja ur….. we’re corrupt, we give u drugs, we try to survive, and u take it all. You actually love us in a very weird way, and u try to catch us, u are just jealous that we got ur jobs….
enjoy the swiiiine!!!
El,
Your government is corrupt. There is no disputing that.
Mexico does indeed send drugs across the border so no disputing that either.
As for you trying to survive and us taking it away, how do you figure? Last time I looked Mexico was a sovereign nation run by Mexicans. So if anyone is taking away from your ability to survive it would be your fellow Mexicans. How much oil and natural gas you folks got? How many tourists flock down there year after year? How much timber you have? Precious metals? If you can’t figure out how to use them that would be your fault not ours although it probably makes you feel better to think otherwise.
Only an asshole, that would be you, would revel in getting people ill.
Like Molotov said. “De la droga que sembramos, ustedes son consumidores” That statement translates to “You’re consumers of the drug we cultivate”
So oh, poor americans, suffer the drug invasion from Mexico’s evil narcos. Well… you give them arms.
And about influenza issue… you’re an epic FAIL! Swine flu began in Texas and California.
However, to relate a desease to a conuntry is so childish and retarded. And some stupid american company is making T-shirts about swine flu. And then you want some respect and you’re offended by jokes about 9-11.
Gimme a break!
Andree on May 1st, 2009 1:31 pm:
“So oh, poor americans, suffer the drug invasion from Mexico’s evil narcos. Well… you give them arms.”
That is not true. They get their own arms.
“And about influenza issue… you’re an epic FAIL! Swine flu began in Texas and California.”
This is also not true. The first case was in Mexico. You’re not going to get away with rewriting history here:
“In other swine flu news, health officials believe they have found “Patient Zero,” who is the first documented person to have survived the outbreak. He is a five year-old boy named Edgar Hernandez and lives in the village of La Gloria in the state of Veracruz.”
When you get your facts straight and agree to stop purposefully lying because you don’t like the truth, drop us a line and we will think about removing your ban.
Buh Bye!
The facts speak by themselves. The swine flu was originated in California. This is the complete note:
http://www.presstv.ir/detail.aspx?id=93377§ionid=3510203
I believe that with this fact, more than half of your stupid articles are nonsense.
Nice try Hans,
“In other swine flu news, health officials believe they have found “Patient Zero,” who is the first documented person to have survived the outbreak. He is a five year-old boy named Edgar Hernandez and lives in the village of La Gloria in the state of Veracruz.”
There is one problem with your article. It says, “The patients had neither been to Mexico nor had they come into contact with pigs.”
If they had not come into contact with pigs then they could not be the original source of the “swine flu” because the “swine flu” is a disease of pigs and contracted either from contact with such or with infected humans. It also appears to be a lot less infectious than originally thought so that means that it must be really close contact which is required. You don’t get it from eating pork products.
Remember too that Mexico’s health system is a shambles. They had a patient infected with obvious flu like symptoms wandering from clinic to clinic for days. Cases in Mexico could have gone unreported for years with the sort of health care system they have there.
Again this article says that the patients had not been to Mexico. It does not however say that they did not have contact with people from Mexico.
Several previous questions remain unanswered. But nice try.
Hey, another problem with that report would be that if they hadn’t been to Mexico then how did the disease get to Mexico? The chain of events doesn’t add up. Perhaps they are talking about the outbreak in the United States and not the global outbreak?
