Three Ebola Stories the Mainstream Media Literally Scrubbed From the Internet

5 Hours Ago

There's a mysterious phenomenon that keeps happening to alternative media journalists lately, and it seems to be a side effect of Ebola.

Mainstream stories are being removed from the internet without a trace.

The first I heard of this was when a colleague, Mac Slavo, of SHTFplan wrote an article entitled "Disaster Teams Were Notified Months Ago They Would Be Activated in October." The article was based on a twitter exchange with a large government supplier of emergency response products specializing in "high-risk events."

"DART teams were notified months ago they would be activated in October. Timing seems weird. Source: current DART member."

Twitter exchange:
What we are now hearing is just the tip of the iceburg as we enter October. #Ebola virus will cripple EMS and hospitals. The wait is over!

Be prepared to self quarantine yourselves if you experience flu like symptoms. Do not venture out as EMS & hospitals will be overwhelmed.

There is speculation that this #DallasEbola case is not Ebola. DART teams were told months ago they would be activated in October.

Wisely, Slavo linked to an archive of the screenshot.




And I say wisely because the Twitter account involved was subsequently CLOSED. Here's the link.
And here's what you now get when you go to it.



I said, "Wow, that's pretty weird. Sounds like you were definitely on to something." And then I put it out of my mind, because…EBOLA. We got incredibly busy bringing you the most comprehensive information on the Ebola situation that can be found on any alternative news website.

But then, this happened…TWICE. Shortly after we quoted a mainstream source in a story that pointed out inconsistencies, the originally story got scrubbed from the internet. It took all sorts of cache-searching gymnastics to prove that we weren't the ones lying, and that something was definitely being hidden by someone.

The best thing about this is that you, the readers, have been the ones to point out the inconsistencies.

First, there was the story from an Israeli news source that said Thomas Duncan had died. None of the American sources said anything other than "Duncan is fighting for his life." This was posted on Sunday, October 5th. Here's a screen shot of the original story.


But then, when I went in to moderate comments on the 6th, this appeared:

This must be a parody site akin to The Onion. I went to the link in your article (http://www.israelnationalnews….) and all it had was:

First US Ebola Patient Fighting for His Life

I went in and clicked our original link. Here's a screen shot of what I saw. Ummm…what?



Hmm…well, that's different, isn't it?

But, sort of like a Ginsu knife commercial, that's not all. The next issue was also picked up by a sharp-eyed reader, and this is when we realized, "Houston, we have a problem."

When our reporter, Lily Dane, spied a little blurb buried waaaaaaay in the bottom of a CNN article, she had to write about it. After all, who knew that there were EIGHT confirmed cases of Ebola in Europe? We sure didn't. Then, just a few hours later, I found this comment:

Is there an actual link to this? The CNN article linked has no mention of Ebola in Europe. I also can't find any mention of cases in Europe.

Sure enough, the reader was again correct. Anyone noticing a trend here?

This one was covered up even better than the first one. Initially, using our Way Back Internet Archive Time Machine, we couldn't find the cached page – just a big old field of whiteness where our quote had once been. Then, Melissa Melton found a cached page with a Fox News article that had quoted the same thing Lily did. Here's that picture. (You can click on these to make them big enough to read.)



I contacted a nameless friend of mine with some mad computer skills, and he then found a cached version of the original CNN article. It was too big to get in one screen shot. Click on the photo to make it big enough to read.





In response to all of these shenanigans, I sent out a memo to all of our staff. It said:

So, over the past few days of our Ebola coverage we've had a recurring problem. Mainstream sources keep taking down information. Information is being blacked out. Sometimes when we try to find and archived version, the internet has been scrubbed of the information.

Readers follow the links we provide and discover the story says something totally different.

FROM THIS POINT FORWARD:

If you are writing something about Ebola, take a screen shot of whatever source you're quoting. Make sure the address bar above shows in the screen shot.

This is absolutely necessary and there are to be no exceptions. Our integrity is at stake here.

Recapping:

• IF YOU QUOTE ANYONE ABOUT EBOLA, SCREENSHOT IT.
• NAME YOUR SCREENSHOT SO YOU CAN FIND IT EASILY – MAYBE WITH THE TITLE OF THE ARTICLE.
• EMBED THE SCREEN SHOT IN YOUR ARTICLE AS A PHOTO.

This has happened too many times to be accidental.

So there you have it, Sheeple readers. This is what has been going on behind the scenes here. We want to thank you for catching this – you guys make our site better. We vow to continue providing you with the most thorough coverage around. We'll be backing up what we say with screen shots because we take our jobs, and our reputations for integrity and honesty, very seriously. Please keep your comments coming, because it is you, the readers, who uncovered this issue.
What's the common thread here? It sure seems to be Ebola. What exactly is being hidden? And who's responsible for instituting the memory hole? And WHY? Let's hear your thoughts in the comments below.

For the life of me I can't think of why these stories were scrubbed. They're bound to surface, in any case. We shall see....

Obama: My ‘Larger Role’ Is ‘My Obligation to Make Sure Africans Are Safe’

Posted on October 12, 2014 by Tim Brown

If there wasn’t a more “in your face” rejection of what the office of the President of the United States is supposed to be, this past week Barack Obama spoke out on the Ebola virus in the US. While he claimed that it was his job to make sure Americans were taken care of, he said he had a larger role. What’s that role you ask? What could be larger than doing his job to secure the borders and obey his oath of office? According to Obama, it’s making sure that Africans, particularly children and their families, are safe.
Apparently Obama decided to be briefed by his “entire team” on Ebola (no word yet on whether he’s attended a national security briefing lately). He specifically called the virus the “Ebola epidemic” and said that the briefing was to understand how each agency would be involved and what they were doing, which he never told anyone about. He merely said he wanted to stop it at the source, which is in West Africa.
The problem is that the virus is no longer just in West Africa. It’s in Europe and the United States, with the US suffering its first fatality this week due in large measure to Obama not banning flights originating from Ebola-ridden countries in Africa. This is truly laughable that he claims to be “doing everything we can do to prevent an outbreak here in the United States.”
To make matters worse, CDC Director Dr. Tom Frieden actually had the audacity to tell the American people that banning such flights would cause more Americans to get Ebola! Yet, Americans are petitioning the White House to ban such flights because they know better than this administration how to take care of themselves.
He then told the press, “The good news is it’s not an airborne disease.” Oh, really Mr. Liar-in-chief? That’s not what a recent, sneaky update on transmission of Ebola on the CDC’s website says. Then why is the US Army saying that winter weather provides the ideal conditions for Ebola to go airborne? Why has an associate professor of biological sciences at Purdue University, who participated in the U.S. Defense Threat Reduction Agency’s Biological Weapons Proliferation Prevention Program said that Ebola being airborne is not farfetched? How do you explain the Ebola Hot Zone in Virginia in 1989 where Ebola was passed from monkeys to pigs that had not physical contact? The Obama administration isn’t erring on the side of caution, they are just plain erring; and word is that their error is being conducted on purpose and that it violates the very protocols Obama told the press they were following.
“But let’s keep in mind that as we speak, there are children on the streets dying of this disease, thousands of them. And so obviously my first job is to make sure that we’re taking care of the American people, but we have a larger role than that. We also have an obligation to make sure that those (African) children and their families are safe as well; because ultimately the best thing we can do for our public health is also to extend the kind of empathy, compassion and effort so that folks in those countries as well can be rid of this disease.”
While I get the idea for sympathy for those facing the disease in other countries, I do wonder where that is in his job description, especially in light of the fact that he is not doing any of the things he told the press. He certainly is not doing everything he can to make sure Ebola doesn’t enter the US (banning flights, sealing the border, etc.).
The claim that his larger role and obligation is to the people of Africa is way down the line from doing what he should be doing, but isn’t. Any role he thinks he has in Africa is dwarfed, not enlarged, by his role to fulfill his duty here in the US. However, this is just more lies from this administration, for which I call upon Congress to begin to issue articles of impeachment to deal with him as our Constitution calls for.
The American people would be wise to prepare to take care of themselves in light of the dereliction of duty that has been demonstrated by this administration. You can find tips for doing that here.

OBAMA PLAYS 200TH ROUND OF GOLF AS 2ND EBOLA CASE EMERGES!



By SARAH RUMPF-

AUSTIN, Texas – After hearing the news shortly after midnight early Sunday morning that a second Ebola case had been diagnosed in a Texas Presbyterian Hospital nurse, Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings stayed up through the night putting together an action plan.

In contrast, President Barack Obama’s response is being criticized as not adequately prioritizing the crisis. As Fox News Channel’s Greta Van Susteren tweeted, Obama made a phone call to Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Burwell and then “headed out to play golf.” CBS White House correspondent Mark Knoller had posted that the press corps had been escorted to vans in the presidential motorcade to go to the golf course, but then were led back to the White House for a photo opp of Obama on the phone with Burwell that “lasted only 40 seconds.” Knoller tweeted several photos of Obama wearing a casual windbreaker, sitting at his desk in the Oval Office while speaking on the phone.
Knoller also reported shortly after 11:30 a.m. Eastern Time that Obama has arrived at Fort Belvoir Golf Club for “his 200th round of golf as President.” The Golf Channel confirmed that this was the 200th round of golf for Obama — or, as they dubbed him, the “First Duffer” — since he became president.

It truthfully boggles my mind that this guy would actually go and golf AGAIN! I mean it’s just UNBELIEVABLE!
