Deception

Human beings are the most powerful beasts on the planet. This is certainly because we have the ability to think- think and discover, think and develop, think and deceive.

Deception has been quite significant though, to the extent of deceiving mankind itself!

The global outbreak of swine flu, a 2009 pandemic created a sense of panic all over. People consider it a fatal epidemic disease. There is yet another view that must be considered. Some experts have come up with the idea that H1N1 is a medical scandal falsely exaggerated by pharmaceutical industries to create a huge market of vaccines and that the total number of deaths caused by swine flu includes that of people affected by different disease like AIDS etc

In recent past, diseases like SARS and bird flu alarmed people in quite a similar way. People thought that these are the new potent killers on the block in spite of the fact that there are other, more prevalent reasons that cause many more deaths like AIDS, tuberculosis, types of cancer and mostly malnourishment and poverty. Every year there is more number of people dying from various flu strains and diseases which are never labelled ‘pandemic’.

Let’s talk about one of man’s greatest accomplishments by Apollo 11 crew, landing on the moon. On July 20, 1969 Neil Armstrong became the first man to land on moon. This was the first and the last successful launch to moon that returned safely. There are lot of evidences and theories put forward that say that NASA faked the moon landings. In one of President Kennedy’s speech in1961, he expressed his concern that US was left behind the Soviet Union in technology and prestige as they had already put the first person into space. He then challenged that he would put a man on moon by the end of the decade. This must be noted. Conquering the moon would become a powerful political move to outdo the Russians and prove their competence.

Hurricane Katrina was one of the most devastating calamities of America. A weather expert has announced that the monster storm was created using electromagnetic technology which was introduced by a Russian scientist during the cold war. This hurricane caused damage to mankind and property on an unprecedented scale. Technology can be misused to this extent- hurricane Katrina, a man made ‘natural’ disaster.

Men have been selling terror, drugs and pornography for quite some time now. Scientific deception being added to this list is sure to leave mankind repulsed, weak and scared.
