Nurse Kaci Hickox, the victim here, is not a contagious ebola carrier. You will know that within a few days, if you don't already, so please be patient and don't say anything that will embarrass yourself later.
_______________________________________

The crimes of the state of Maine include:
a) false imprisonment of an innocent victim (or dissident, as the state apparently wants to portray her or brand her);
b) house arrest without charges, without any evidence of an ebola infection upon which to issue an injunction, without any violation of law upon which to bring an indictment, without so much as a court order or a search warrant from a magistrate;
c) depriving the victim of her Amendment V protection against self-incrimination by demanding that she consent to self-quarantine in a tacit admission of possible guilt (infection) contrary to fact.

Nurse Hickox is being bullied on so many levels that she really needs either a private army or the meanest, no-holds-barred, personal injury prosecutor or divorce attorney whom she can convince that the long, long stretch of appeals necessary to fight and win against an abusive, freedom-hating state government is said attorney's own road to multi-generational riches and an island estate in the Caymans. At least Augusta doesn't have deep pockets like Hartford or Providence, so the state of Maine will be hard pressed to keep Nurse Hickox and her legal team in a state of seige until some future time when Maine can pay off in post-economic-collapse decimated dollars.

1) Nurse Hickox is an RN in a specialized field in great demand, so she is not at all amenable to letting the Augusta Bullies besmirch, shred, and grind into the mud her valuable medical credentials. It will surely come to that when the Bullies realize that their guys are gonna lose, and that their only revenge will be to abuse and persecute their victim until she is so slashed and mangled (figuratively we would hope) as to make her verdict a hollow victory. But she must fight, lest the state preemptively bankrupt and ruin her to protect itself from a civil rights lawsuit.

Nurse Hickox may feel that to submit to further quarantine and isolation would betray precious African women
who have no freedom under Shari'a law, isolated under the burqa whenever they leave the house, locked away during their time of uncleanness, punished by the Is1amic government if they attempt to do normal things which men do every day, and not allowed to defend themselves from physical beatings, violent torture, and permanently disfiguring abuse administered by cruel men who enjoy hurting women.

2) Nurse Hickox is not an infection risk. She was cleared of contagion while still in west Africa by some of the best ebola epidemiologists in the world. Upon her return to the states, she was forcibly isolated for three days in Newark. She has been examined and declared ebola-free in west Africa and again in Newark. To subject her in Maine to further quarantine (until 3 weeks since last exposure) and more examinations by doctors who may have never seen ebola except on the Internet, is not just overkill. It is an insult and a slap in the face to the real experts, on two separate continents, who already examined her and gave her a clean bill of health and an "Ebola-free" inspection stamp, TWICE.

From November and through the winter, Fort Kent is not a favorable incubation location for tropical diseases like ebola. Fort Kent, pop. 4097, and nearby Madawaska, pop. 4035, are the two northernmost outposts of civilization in the U.S. east of Minnesota. More precisely, 27 miles to the westnorthwest is Estcourt Station, pop. 4, a named fork in the frontier road south of Pohénégamook, Quebec. The frontier road goes no further into Maine and continues on into Quebec. Estcourt Station is within Maine geographically only because the straight line of the border happened to cut it off from Quebec.


3) Nurse Hickox is a CDC field worker and a 33-year-old epidemiology specialist who has been working among the ebola victims in Sierra Leone with Doctors Without Borders. In case you forgot, they are healer-servants who, along with missionaries, firefighters, SpecOps, and the Marines, don't "spend an entire lifetime wondering if they made a difference in the world."

If one excludes all the others who have her same health care experience fighting ebola, those who have served with her during this epidemic in west Africa, then Nurse Hickox, during her time of service in Sierra Leone, likely has more experience treating ebola than any doctor in Maine, probably more than any doctor in the Northeast, possibly more than anyone else now living and actively working in health care in the U.S. who has yet to volunteer in west Africa.

She hasn't just read a book about the ebola epidemic, SHE COULD HAVE WRITTEN THE BOOK - SHE HAS BEEN THERE, ON THE GROUND AND BETWEEN THE COTS.

She is now with her boyfriend, and she is riding her bicycle around her home town of Fort Kent, Maine, if only to show her friends and neighbors that she isn't infected; so IF NURSE HICKOX SAYS SHE ISN'T INFECTED, THEN SHE ISN'T INFECTED.

4) With only a few days before the midterm elections, Gov. Paul LePage and the legislators of Maine listed on the ballot are hypersensitive and responsive to residents' unwarranted fear or media-induced paranoia about a possible ebola infection in Maine, the existence of which Nurse Hickox, an expert witness, denies.

Specifically, the state of Maine demanded that she submit to quarantining herself for a hypothetical infection which does not in fact exist, according to two medical examinations and according to her own professional evaluation as a CDC epidemiologist and an RN with far more ebola care experience than anyone else in Maine who might examine her and test for an ebola infection for now a third time.

Would the state require yet a fourth examination at the end of a three week quarantine? As a hypothetical but similar example, can a government involuntarily institutionalize a person in a mental health facility because his neighbors are uncomfortable being around him, given that he was physically abused, beaten, and tortured by a former neighbor?

Fortunately, Nurse Hickox is already in Maine. Given some unidentified Maine residents' irrational fear of her non-existent infection, and given that it is a logical impossibility to prove the non-existence of any condition or thing, she might have been required to endure a new three week quarantine and examination before entering each state along the way from Newark: New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Maine. That would get Nurse Hickox home for Christmas sometime in early February.

5) For Nurse Hickox to claim to be ebola-free now, only to become symptomatic later, would be a testimony against her self-interest as a CDC epidemiology nurse. Such a misinterpretation of an asymptomatic, dormant, or hidden infection would render her future expert testimony about an observed absence of ebola less than assuring.

6) After Mr. Obama's refusal for weeks (months?) to temporarily (even momentarily?) quarantine travelers - even foreigners - from west Africa for examination before granting them entry into the U.S., the demand that Nurse Hickox conform to the 3 week quarantine protocol specified for U.S. military personnel sounds a bit hollow. But we can't have CDC epidemiology personnel ignoring the rules and regulations which govern the social contacts and conduct of lesser mortals, now can we? One might mistake them for U.S. Representatives, Senators, Governors, or even Attorneys General!

7) The bottom line is, of course, the bottom line. What's good for the business moguls whose lobbyists grease the wheels of government within Congress is good for America, I suppose. And what could be better for the business moguls who profit from cheap illegal alien labor than a post-election amnesty, with up to 34 million provisional green cards printed and ready for new Democratic voters?

One event might throw a wrench amongst those greasy wheels, especially at election time: an ebola outbreak traceable back across the U.S.-Mexico border, which, btw, would never be proven beyond a reasonable doubt. Such an ebola event would bring to a lights out halt the chicken-plucking, sausage-packing money machine which operates on the sweat and sleeplessness of illegal aliens. It could even raise the cost of lettuce and create a nanny shortage.

Imagine a shell game with one shell at Fort Kent, Maine, one at Washington, D.C., and one at the southwestern border. Keep the little ball shuttling between Maine and D.C., D.C. and Maine, Maine and D.C. and Maine... Of one thing you can be absolutely certain: when the ball stops, it will be under the shell at the southwestern border, because that's where the action is. Because Nurse Hickox is not required to submit to Maine's 21-day quarantine, illegal alien advocates will seize upon that medical exception to demand that no one else be required to submit to isolation and observation for infectious diseases before being allowed into the country. That could become a true Cloward-Piven event worthy of a declaration of martial law.

One day we will learn what important events the media covered up with the ongoing coverage of the ebola crisis.
