Last week, the CDC announced the two major vaccine manufacturers -- Aventis Pasteur of Swiftwater, Pa., and Chiron Corp., of Emeryville, Calif. -- had distributed all of the 83-million doses of vaccine they made for this year's flu season.

This conspiracy theory starts with the well known phrase "Big brother is watching you and me..."  and what better way to do this than by a free distribution flu shot to the mass population. Incredulous? Not really. Medicine and technology have been advancing in leaps and bounds and has outgrown our own morals. Surgery is now being performed with nearly invisible incisions, micro accurate lasers, and mini cameras that are being used as the surgeon's eyes to perform intricate procedures.

Since the Government likes to keep tabs on all us citizens with its census counters, it would be very easy if we all had an identity chip implanted into our bodies.

Would any of us be willing to let the government know your every single move, invade your privacy and be able to watch your every step with a GPS tracking system, and for how long? Not likely. The list goes on and on though the things they could do with such power.

After several scenarios were discussed, the consensus was a nationwide flu shot every October. This way, millions of citizens would gladly line up and get the shot not knowing that they were actually getting their very own unique tracking chip that would last for about a year in their body. You would have your very own UPC code implant. You have to ask those of you who did get the flu shot; Did the shot really help prevent you from getting sick? Many people I have talked to have said that even with the flu shot, they got sick with the same frequency as they did in the past without the flu shot. So, is the shot effectively preventing the flu, or is it really just another Government ploy designed to tag and track the population?

This brings us to the ultimate guarded borders. Like metal detectors in the airport or anti theft tags in department stores, any American citizen coming into our country would be secretly scanned and noted while illegal aliens who do not have the implant would be easily singled out and rejected at the border and sent back. (Washington -- The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) demonstrated new procedures that will require most visitors traveling on visas to the United States to have two fingerprints scanned by an inkless device and a digital photograph taken by immigration officials upon entry at U.S. air and seaports starting January 5, 2004.)

Part two of the conspiracy is a mind control agent also injected into your body through the guise of a flu shot. Again, the Government would like us to be all good little citizens and with the implant and the help of the media, could control our moods, desires, wants, and needs. That program on TV that you watched an hour ago, did it have a message for you?

Of course, there is a trilogy saga to the flu shot conspiracy. Not Government endorsed, but more deadly.  This is purely a public awareness announcement.  The truly paranoid may ponder this scenario: one would think that the easiest way to infect the population is through a fake flu shot. Who is to say that the fluid being injected into your body is not tainted with a deadly disease designed to lay dormant in your body for a 90 day period so symptoms would not appear until millions have been infected?

Call me slightly paranoid but I will not be getting the Government flu shot this season.
