Well, we all knew this was coming. Billy Corgan launched a new spirituality website, Everything From Here to There, about six weeks ago. And so far, he’s managed to deal in pseudo-theology without going too far off the map. But now he’s really done it. In a wackadoo new post, Corgan puts on his conspiracy theorist hat and indulges in some serious H1N1 paranoia.

:If you follow some of the links I have been supplying as of late, you’ll notice many are focused on the propaganda build up to our day of reckoning with the Swine Flu virus. I say ‘propaganda’ because, in my heart, there is something mighty suspicious about declaring an emergency for something that has yet to show itself to be a grand pandemic,” Corgan begins. He goes on to doubt President Obama’s judgment and motives, making some point about how the virus is keeping us in a state of fear. He’s careful to say that he’s not trying to claim that H1N1 isn’t real… but then he brings out the big, crazy guns and does kind of suggest it:

It is possible the virus is not a naturally occurring virus. I have read reports from people who say (as doctors) that there is evidence to suggest this virus was created by man; to call it Swine Flu is then a misnomer, as it really is Swine Flu plus some other stuff stitched together. These doctors said such genetic mutation was impossible in nature.

So you have a situation here where you can examine your own Mind-Body-Soul power staring in the face of Death itself. Assume this flu is the worst thing to ever hit this planet, worse than the beubonic plague of the Middle Ages, or worse than any war ever conjured up. Evil itself has come to wreak havoc on the planet. Assume, for the sake of argument, it is The End.

Well, where does that leave you? Do you quit work? Do you run away? Do you stand still and hope Death walks past you?

I for one will not be taking the vaccine. I do not trust those who make the vaccines, or the apperatus behind it all to push it on us thru fear. This is not judgment; it is a personal decision based on research, intuition, conversations with my doctor and my ‘family’. If the virus comes to take me Home, that is between me and the Lord. I have put up some of these links to inspire the question in you, so that perhaps you can make a better decision for yourself. That is what holistic life is about: a willingness to look at all the facts or opinions.

So, let’s review: The virus is supernatural (or the result of our own fear of it). The only way to resist it is with the power of our own spirits. (Meanwhile, has anyone actually heard someone try to claim that Swine Flu will be worse than the Bubonic plague, for heaven’s sake?) The vaccine is evil. And Corgan has embraced the Christian Science-style belief that doctors shouldn’t come between the truly religious and their untimely deaths. My temptation here is to make fun of him. But despite his disclaimers, I know the Smashing Pumpkins have a lot of young, impressionable (or, you know, 20-something, impressionable) fans. And I sure hope they don’t follow his example and get themselves sick.
