Thread: Obama Doing Nothing to Protect America from Ebola Outbreak

What Ebola outbreak would look like in U.S.

(wnd) – According to a senior health fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, the world has no strategic plan to contain the worst Ebola outbreak in history while scientists are saying an outbreak on U.S. soil would require sweeping measures.
Total quarantine of cities or sections of infected cities and restrictions on air travel could be expected.
“We’re now in a perfect storm,” Laurie Garrett said in a CFR conference call Thursday in which she described the United Nations World Health Organization as “bankrupt” and drowning in debt. “There is no strategic plan for how this epidemic will be brought under control.”
The same term, “perfect storm,” was also used to describe the Ebola outbreak Thursday by the director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, Dr. Tom Frieden, in testimony before Congress.
If the statements are true, each nation must come up with its own plan to protect its people.
In the United States, that job falls to the CDC in Atlanta. As Frieden testified Thursday, the CDC raised its emergency operations center to Level 1, the highest possible alert in an effort to better coordinate a CDC-organized surge of health professionals and equipment being rushed to West Africa in an effort to contain the Ebola outbreak.
Nearly 900 people have died of Ebola in four west African countries since February.
Frieden also told Congress that it’s “inevitable” that someone with Ebola will get on a plane and fly to the United States, risking an outbreak here.
If, or when, Ebola does show up in the United States, the only way to combat the virus is through strict quarantines, said Dr. Arthur Robinson, a biochemist with Oregon-based Doctors for Disaster Preparedness.
“I don’t want to contribute to scaring everybody but at the same time, you’re dealing with total quarantine,” Robinson said. “You might have to quarantine entire small cities. Hopefully that doesn’t happen but it could.”
Robinson, who stresses that he has no inside knowledge of the government’s plans other than what he’s already seen play out, says he doubts the United States would be adequately prepared for a major outbreak of Ebola on its soil.
“I’ve spoken to people who are experts on African diseases and they are not very sanguine about CDC’s ability to deal with things like this,” Robinson said. “Their experience in dealing with bacterial warfare is almost zero, but that’s almost what you have here.
“We know almost nothing, this is a world we’ve barely scratched the surface in,” he continued. “We are probably not prepared. We have nothing that stops a virus other than quarantine and hoping it dies out. It has its own DNA, a code that is also able to penetrate a living cell. The virus takes over the living cell. The cell pops and then those viruses infect other cells. But by itself it is inert. It has the DNA but it does not have the machinery to reproduce itself without a living cell (as its host).”
Ebola is spread through contact with bodily fluids such as blood, sweat, vomit or feces. The symptoms include nausea, vomiting, high fever and diarrhea and there is no known cure. The death rate of the strain now infecting people is about 70 percent. The disease has up to a 21-day incubation period and the virus can live outside of an infected person’s body for hours, possibly days. As a viral hemorrhagic fever, it is one of nine diseases which the federal government has the authority to forcibly quarantine.
A living victim of Ebola “is alive with viruses and their cells are making more virus-infected cells at a tremendous rate,” Robinson said. “If you have contact with the bodily fluids of that person you’re getting a big dose. You get little tiny assaults with viruses all the time and your body is able to overcome them but once it’s in the body it’s a huge dose. People rubbing their eyes or putting their hands in their mouth, it breaks out. And a person infected is just a huge reservoir of the virus and cells that are supporting that virus.”
The very nature of a virus makes it hard to combat without a vaccine and Robinson pointed to the polio virus as an example.
“The thing that worries me is this is a virus and viruses are notoriously hard to combat, very difficult to beat because they are not alive most of the time,” said Robinson. “It does not live by itself, but it uses the living thing in which it is embedded to wake up and do its damage. There are viruses all over the place, we live in a sea of viruses, but when one wakes up you’re in a lot of trouble.”
According to a CDC statement released Wednesday, U.S. hospitals can safely manage patients with Ebola. “The key factors are isolation of patients, diligent environmental cleaning and disinfection, and protection of healthcare providers,” the statement said. “Providers in U.S. hospitals should wear gloves, fluid resistant/impermeable gown, and eye protection. In certain situations involving copious body fluids, additional equipment may be needed (for example, double gloving, disposable shoe coverings, and leg coverings).”
The CDC has 20 known quarantine stations throughout the U.S. but it is not known if those would be adequate to contain a full outbreak. A CDC press officer told WND she would have someone “get back with you” Thursday on this issue but no one from the agency followed up.


And other questions abound: Would there be enough testing sites, testing labs and hospitals capable of handling an outbreak? Screening stations would likely be set up at all international airports. For more details on how an Ebola outbreak might affect the United States, see this White House document drafted by the Clinton administration during a less severe Ebola scare in Africa.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services announced in July it was issuing $840 million to upgrade the emergency preparedness of state and local medical facilities.
But Dr. Jane Orient, M.D., a practicing physician in Tuscon, Arizona, and member of Doctors for Disaster Preparedness, wonders if it will be too little, too late.
“The fear is they would put people suspected of being infected, but who are actually healthy, in with people who do have the virus, so the threat is you would get it once you’re in quarantine (even if healthy to begin with),” Orient said.
She said the more sensible strategy would be to quarantine people in their homes.
“That is what was done with my grandfather’s generation, and then the family members can take their precautions and watch their symptoms,” Orient said.
She said recent articles about Obama’s executive order giving him authority to quarantine sick people and those suspected of being sick “is really nothing new.”
The U.S. has used governmental quarantine powers dating back to 1878.
“We always have to be worried about government overreacting and quarantining healthy people with sick people and people quarantining themselves and not going to work,” Orient said. “The situation is always going to be exacerbated if the population thinks their government is not telling them the truth, or is covering up.”
She said the vast majority of citizens living under the old Soviet Union believed in UFOs “and the reason they did was because the government said UFOs didn’t exist and the government must be lying like it always does. So the risk is that even if the government is telling the truth, for a change, the people just won’t believe it.”
Orient said there is no evidence the Ebola virus can be spread by airborne germs such as a sneeze, but nor is there any proof that it can’t, “so maybe we’ll find out late in the game.”
She said body fluids such as sweat or saliva could be found on any city surface.
“I don’t know (about Ebola) but some viruses can live for a couple weeks, and then the question arises, is it possible Ebola could develop air-born mutation,” Orient said. “So I would say, don’t panic, but people need to be aware this is a possibility. Unfortunately it starts off like a bad case of the flu.”
She said the CDC has put out communications that the disease can only be spread by direct contact with an infected person’s bodily fluids, “but that looks so contradictory to the way they transported these two patients to Atlanta, with extreme caution. When people in space suits are telling you ‘oh don’t worry, there’s no danger of this spreading,’ they have no credibility.”
Frieden, meanwhile, continues to try to tamp down any concerns. He exuded confidence that everything is under control in his latest press release, issued on Wednesday.
“The bottom line with Ebola is we know how to stop it: traditional public health. Find patients, isolate and care for them; find their contacts; educate people; and strictly follow infection control in hospitals. Do those things with meticulous care and Ebola goes away,” Frieden said in the release. “To keep America safe, health care workers should isolate and evaluate people who have returned from Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone in the past 21 days and have fever or other symptoms suggestive of Ebola. We will save lives in West Africa and protect ourselves at home by stopping Ebola at the source.”
Robinson is less cheery about the CDC’s capabilities. He said there is no denying the fact that there are some cultural practices in west Africa that help the disease spread that are not present in American culture. That’s the good news.
“A person dies in Africa and the culture of poverty helps a disease like this spread because they don’t bury their dead right away, they don’t take certain precautions,” he said. “But if it appears in the U.S., if we get a couple of cases I think people would be looking for places to hide. These things are not trivial. We’ve just scratched the surface there’s so much we don’t know about these diseases.

The Ebola Crisis Just Went From Bad to Worse

Dave Hodges 4 hours ago

Under the category of “I told you so”, a political contact, Jatto Abdulqudir, whom I dubbed Patient Zero, Patrick Sawyer, has died. I had previously expressed the fear that Sawyer’s boarding of two airplanes with multiple connecting flights raised the likelihood that hundreds of thousands would be exposed on the same day to the Ebola virus (www.twtitter.com/hniman).

This one fact represents an emerging picture, which serves to demonstrate that the Ebola containment efforts are failing miserably, and we are in the beginning of an emerging pandemic. Further, this article will make it clear that health officials ranging from the World Health Organization to the CDC are negligent in their duty to protect the public in the midst of this Ebola outbreak.

America’s Future Amidst An Ebola Outbreak
Since the worst Ebola outbreak in history first emerged in March in West Africa, 1,013 have died. Among the dead are 81 of 170 heath care workers who have been infected. These statistics are the latest figures according to statistics just released by the World Health Organization. Approximately 8% of Ebola’s victims, in West Africa, are medical personnel who were tasked with the treatment of the virus. The ratio of medical personnel to the general population who died from Ebola is astronomical, and a cause for extreme alarm.
Some will say that the seven West Africa nations are made up of third world countries and subsequently, their quarantine and containment procedures are primitive and this accounts for the high Ebola transmission rate to medical personnel. However, among the infected health care workers are two Americans doctors whose knowledge is not primitive, and they should have been well trained on proper quarantine and containment procedures. The high infection ratio of dead patients to dead medical personnel is alarming beyond words, and nobody is talking about this in the mainstream media.
The high rates of medical personnel contracting Ebola has sent a shockwave of panic through West Africa, as several of Sierra Leone’s frightened nurses have walked off the job, and the medical units fighting Ebola have been profoundly crippled.
In applying the lens of common sense, we should be asking “When a healthcare worker gets sick and dies, won’t that lead to even more fear on the part of other healthcare workers, causing their survival instincts takeover, and they walk off the job? Why would America be any different when an Ebola outbreak occurs in this country?”

Medical Ethics In the Treatment of Ebola Are Nonexistent
The World Health Organization (WHO) has announced that it is perfectly “ethical” for unapproved and largely untested vaccines to be used in the treatment of Ebola. If WHO is correct, then why are U.S. taxpayers paying out billions of dollars to support the FDA and the CDC and their “safety” testing procedures?
Recently, I wrote an article which stated that it was becoming my professional opinion that we had more to fear from the new generation of hastily prepared vaccines than we did from the Ebola itself. That fear is becoming realized with the recent WHO announcement that essentially is telling the public that all safety protocols are now being ignored with regard to the release of these voodoo vaccines brought to you by Monsanto (Texmira) and GSK.
If we lift the covers up and take a peek, it will become evident that the real goal in this crisis is to maximize profits realized from vaccines, and if the new WHO vaccine policies are willing to put lives at risk in Africa with the use of untested vaccines, then why should America be any different when it is our turn? The public should also be mindful that there is a financial incentive to make the vaccines mandatory in the near future.
Again, I want to remind the readers that various law enforcement agencies, through mock drills, practiced administering mandatory vaccines during the H1N1 scare five years ago. Previously, I had reported the following with regard to vaccines, law enforcement and what probably lies in our future.

History Speaks Will America Listen?
During the H1n1 scare of a few years ago, we know that law enforcement officials in several states practiced a DUI roadblock kind of scenario in several states in which they were equipped with mock vaccine testing equipment to tell whether, or not, someone had been given the new vaccine against the virus. The roadblock consisted a large van for processing, a couple of buses, and chase cars on the flanks to run down people who tried to avoid the checkpoint. According to my well-placed sources in Colorado, this was rehearsed over and over. These law enforcement officers were told that their families would be collected by DHS and protected in isolation against the spread of the pathogen and any resulting rioting. A highly decorated State Trooper from Kansas, Greg Evensen (Ret.), stated on my show that these families would not be held for safekeeping, they were to be held hostage to force the law enforcement officials to do the bidding of the powers that be.
The bidding that Greg Evensen was speaking of was the fact that if you did not demonstrate that you had the vaccine, you would be given two choices: get an immediate injection with the vaccine, or have your car would be impounded and yourself sent to a medical FEMA camp by one of the buses present at the scene.
At one point during the H1N1 scare, I thought the public’s reaction to forced vaccinations, which began in many hospitals, forced the government to abandon its plans to launch the program. In the present time, I think that this was a beta test, designed to put the mechanisms into place, and to condition the public that this will someday happen.
I recently contacted two of my sources in law enforcement, who beta tested the H1N1 vaccine roadblocks, to ask them if they had done any drills with regard to the outbreak of Ebola. I was told that they had not. However, one source stated that a recent DHS memo reminded the officials that they were to remain current on their containment and interdiction procedures with regard to any virulent outbreaks and the need to subsequently vaccinate the public in order to prevent the further spread of a pathogen.
The sum total of what we are looking at is this: the short-term goal, according to my DEA source, is to make money off of the vaccine. The emerging, long-term goal appears to be the lockdown (i.e. martial law) of the country by using fear and the natural course of Ebola spreading.
Let’s not forget about the very recent case of Rebecca Scott, who was forcibly discharged, under Obamacare rules, while she waited to find out how virulent her strain of TB was. Her discharge not only put Scott at risk, but it exposed anyone who would come into contact with her. Does anyone really believe that this provision of new healthcare system will be magically suspended in the face of an Ebola crisis?
Given the incubation period for Ebola, we could be weeks, possibly months away from realizing these same scenarios that the world is witnessing in places like Sierra Leone.

Medical doctor questions ebola 'hysteria'


Sunday, August 17, 2014 by: Jonathan Landsman
Tags: ebola, pandemic, immune system

(NaturalNews) Ebola virus disease (EVD), also called ebola hemorrhagic fever, can often be fatal - in its later stages, if poorly treated - due to internal (and external) bleeding, liver and kidney failure. According to the World Health Organization, ebola "is a severe, often fatal illness in humans." But, the question remains, are we being told everything about this infectious disease?

What can we do about the ebola virus? Conventional medicine admits they have no cure for EVD. Instead of just 'hoping' for a recovery - find out how to boost your immunity and eliminate the threat of infectious diseases. If you're a medical doctor, do not miss our next show.

How does Ebola spread throughout a community?

Humans can get infected through direct contact with the blood or bodily secretions of an infected individual or from infected objects like a needle. Although some reports suggest that the virus can be transmitted through the air and remain alive for days outside the host. Obviously, if you live in an infected community, you must avoid direct contact with those individuals sickened by this disease.

Thanks to movies like Outbreak and Contagion - most people in the United States have scary visions of medical disasters, disease outbreaks, quarantined conditions, martial law and people dying everywhere from a horrific (uncontrollable) virus. Naturally, the 'solution' always seems to come in the form of a vaccine - at the last minute of a movie - to save the day.

Of course, the mainstream media has promoted ebola 'hysteria' - without the much needed scientific detail. And, public health officials have failed miserably at properly informing the public about how to prevent infectious diseases, of all kinds, utilizing relatively inexpensive, available immune-boosting substances.

On the next NaturalNews Talk Hour, we'll talk about how to strengthen the immune system and quickly minimize the threat of infectious diseases - within days - safely and effectively.

The most effective vitamin for viral infections and disease prevention


Before we talk about a solutions - it's important to ask: why are people vulnerable to the ebola virus? According to Dr. Levy, "ebola is really an ordinary virus that causes extraordinary pathology in people with a poor nutritional status and a lack of significant antioxidant stores in their bodies."

On the next NaturalNews Talk Hour, find out how to keep the immune system strong and learn about the best ways to lower your risk for viral infections and degenerative disease.

This week's guest: Thomas E. Levy, MD, JD, board certified internist and cardiologist

Find out how to intelligently address ebola virus concerns - Sun. Aug. 17

Thomas E. Levy, MD, JD is a board-certified internist and cardiologist. He is also bar-certified for the practice of law. He has written extensively on the importance of eliminating toxins while bolstering antioxidant defenses in the body, with particular focus on vitamin C.

His newest book entitled, Death by Calcium: Proof of the toxic effects of dairy and calcium supplements is now available at amazon.com or medfoxpub.com. In this new book, for the first time, Dr. Levy has assembled extensive sections on his treatment protocols for infectious diseases, cancer, heart disease, osteoporosis, plus many other chronic degenerative diseases. This new book contains his detailed "Guide to the Optimal Administration of Vitamin C." His website is: PeakEnergy.com

Is the fear of ebola justified? To date, according to the Centers for Disease Control, this virus "is centered on three countries in West Africa: Liberia, Guinea, Sierra Leone." Naturally, people are scared because they have been brainwashed into believing there's nothing you can do to protect yourself. Yet, nothing could be further from the truth.

On the next NaturalNews Talk Hour, Jonathan Landsman and Thomas E. Levy, MD, JD will expose the true nature of ebola and the misperceptions of the public. In addition, you'll learn how to prevent, even reverse all viral attacks and their symptoms like headaches, vomiting, fever, joint and muscle aches plus much more - safely without the need for toxic drugs. This program is a MUST for healthcare professionals.

Liberia quarantines entire villages


Published on Aug 18, 2014
For several weeks now, the World Health Organization has been calling the Ebola outbreak an international emergency. And now, Liberia is stepping up their efforts to contain the disease. The local government is setting up quarantine zones for entire villages, the same plague village method used in the medieval ages. Soldiers armed with machine guns block the roads in and out of the villages, and any residents left living inside of them have little or no access to new food or water.

Many of the infected victims fear they will just be left for dead. Medical professionals are leery about working with the victims, because often they are the ones most likely to inherit the deadly virus.

Right now, the death toll is nearing 12 hundred, but Liberian government officials think there are several deaths that aren’t being recorded in the jungle villages. This health crisis is the biggest national challenge for Liberia since their civil war ended 11 years ago. Now, local residents question if Ebola even exists. A group of angry locals charged a clinic and pillaged the whole building, sending at least 20 infected patients out into public. Police say the rioters took soiled, bloody garments and bed linens. They believe many of those sheets could pass on the contagious virus.

One local told a reporter, “Ebola is like a guerrilla army marauding the country.” The death rate is between 60 and 90 percent, so bad that the Center for Disease Control and Prevention is calling Ebola a risk for bioterrorism.

News highlights: Ebola exploding, UK medical police state, truth about CDC scientific fraud and more

Tuesday, September 02, 2014
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger
Tags: Ebola, medical police state, CDC whistleblower


(NaturalNews) Strange things are happening in our world, and things seem to be getting more bizarre by the day. Here are six important stories unfolding right now that you need to be aware of.

(Original sources cited as appropriate.)

Ebola mutating and exploding; may reach 100,000 infections this year

From SHTFplan.com:

Vespignani is not the only one trying to predict how the unprecedented outbreak will progress. Last week, the World Health Organization (WHO) estimated that the number of cases could ultimately exceed 20,000. And scientists across the world are scrambling to create computer models that accurately describe the spread of the deadly virus.

"If the epidemic in Liberia were to continue in this way until the 1st of December, the cumulative number of cases would exceed 100,000," predicts Althaus.

Medical police state in the UK unfolds as parents arrested for seeking advanced brain tumor treatment for son

The medical police state is alive and well in the UK, where parents have now been arrested for removing their child from a UK hospital and seeking more advanced medical treatments.

From the Associated Press

Brett and Naghemeh King signaled Monday they would fight extradition, defying doctors and the legal system as a British court considers a ruling on forcing the family to come home... The Kings are seeking a new type of proton beam radiation therapy that typically costs at least $33,000... Ethicists say the case is unprecedented, and has raised questions of how much power authorities should have in interfering with the will of parents in questions of life and death.

Japan urging citizens to stockpile toilet paper in preparation for next catastrophe

A massive toilet paper lobby consisting of Japan's top toilet paper manufacturers has managed to convince the government to call for widespread toilet paper stockpiling. Apparently, toilet paper is now being promoted as far more important than food, medicine or even potassium iodide pills:

From The Associated Press

The government and paper companies kicked off a "Let's stockpile toilet paper!" campaign to mark Disaster Prevention Day, warning of a possible crisis because nearly half of the supply comes from one of Japan's most earthquake-prone areas. ...A family of four should be able to survive for a month on a six-roll pack, priced at 460 yen ($4.40) and with a five-year expiration date, said Satoshi Kurosaki, chairman of the Japan Household Paper Industry Association.

See this excellent video on CDC vaccine research fraud - outstanding narration by Melissa Melton and Aaron Dykes

I strongly recommend you listen to this video from Truth Stream Media with Aaron Dykes and Melissa Melton.

What is relevant is this man and his team omitted data from the 2004 study CDC published in the journal Pediatrics that clearly showed a 340% increase in autism risk with MMR shots in little African American children. What were the risks to the rest of the kids and what else has that man and his colleagues defrauded the public ABOUT? This is the same guy who went on to coauthor a study on the safety of THIMEROSAL!

Can officials like Dr. Colleen Boyle, a co-author on this bunk study and director of the National Center on Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities (NCBDDD) at the CDC, be trusted when she tells Congress in sworn testimony that there is no connection between vaccines and autism?


Genetic modification of food and humanity is an "unfolding disaster"

From The Commonsense Show

More research and studies are published daily proving the extreme and detrimental health affects these organisms have on humanity with the long term ramifications still unrealized, yet their proliferation continues and accelerates... Scientist from across the planet are now sounding the alarm concerning the infiltration of GMOs into the wild, with some saying we are quickly approaching the point of no return were the damage will be irreversible.

Bill Gates pumping money into Cornell university to "buy" more GMO shills in academia

I'm really liking the news and editorials I'm seeing on TheLibertyBeacon.com, an up-and-coming truth media site.

From The Liberty Beacon

Now, in an effort to "depolarize" the GMO debate, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is making a multi-million dollar donation to one of America's most prominent universities. The program, made possible through the Gates Foundation's $5.6 million grant, reportedly seeks to help inform decision-makers an consumers through an online information hub as well as training programs, with the goal of educating on "how (agricultural technology, presumably GMOs) works," as well as the "potential impacts" of agricultural technology.

There's nothing quite like another multi-million-dollar grant to dictate the messages of academia, eh? This is also how quite a few "alternative" media organizations have sold out to GMOs. Once they receive grant money from Bill & Melinda Gates, they suddenly start spouting pro-GMO propaganda.

CDC head calls for stepped up efforts to contain Ebola epidemic in West Africa

September 3, 2014 | By Dibya Sarkar

The head of the Centers for Disease Prevention and Control said nations need to step up efforts to control the Ebola epidemic in West Africa, after recently visiting several countries there dealing with the outbreak.

"I went to a new ward that opened with 35 beds – and in less than a week they had 63 patients, many lying on the floor," said CDC Director Dr. Tom Frieden in a statement Sept. 2.

CDC said Frieden visited Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone last week. He called for more treatment centers, health care providers, and supplies, among other actions.

"There is a need for data to better trace where Ebola is beginning to spread. And there is a basic need for infrastructure like trucks, jeeps and motorcycles. Perhaps most importantly, there is need for a functional emergency operations center at either the national or the district levels directing an efficient response," he added.

He also said the official case count and death toll in this outbreak surpasses cases and deaths from all prior Ebola outbreaks combined. "Yet these official numbers greatly underestimate the actual numbers of cases and deaths and do not adequately describe the outbreak's toll in human lives, health care and societal disruption, and economic loss," he added.

As of Aug. 26, the World Health Organization said there have been 3,069 people infected with Ebola and 1,552 deaths across Guinea, Liberia, Nigeria, and Sierra Leone. The current outbreak began in March.

The WHO produced a road map (pdf) in which it says it needs $490 million over the next six months to help stop the transmission of Ebola.

People who contract the virus -- which can be spread through bodily fluids or blood or through infected needles and other objects -- may suffer headache, joint and muscle aches, weakness, diarrhea, fever and other symptoms. It can stay in the body for up to 21 days before making an infected person sick, although symptoms typically take up to 10 days to appear, health officials have said.

The CDC along with the State, Health and Human Services, and Defense Departments and U.S. Agency for International Development, has been stepping up assistance to the affected countries.

Since early July, more than 500 CDC staff members have provided logistics, analytics and other services and another 100 U.S. government personnel have been sent to the affected countries to help with response efforts. CDC has also stepped up preparatory efforts and protocols at U.S. hospitals and airports to deal with any potential cases.

In related news, HHS announced Sept. 2 it has provided a $25 million, 18-month contract to San Diego-based Mapp Biopharmaceutical Inc. to accelerate development of the experimental medication ZMapp to treat Ebola. The contract can be extended up to a total of $42.3 million, HHS said.

Two Americans aid workers who contracted Ebola in West Africa were treated with ZMapp and were reportedly cured of the disease, after they were flown back to the United States.

"While ZMapp has received a lot of attention, it is one of several treatments under development for Ebola, and we still have very limited data on its safety and efficacy," Dr. Nicole Lurie, assistant secretary for preparedness and response within HHS, said in the release.

During An Ebola Pandemic All Of Your Rights Would Essentially Be Meaningless


By Michael Snyder, on October 2nd, 2014


If there is a major Ebola pandemic in America, all of the liberties and the freedoms that you currently enjoy would be gone. If government officials believe that you have the virus, federal law allows them to round you up and detain you "for such time and in such manner as may be reasonably necessary." In addition, the CDC already has the authority to quarantine healthy Americans if they reasonably believe that they may become sick. During an outbreak, the government can force you to remain isolated in your own home, or the government may forcibly take you to a treatment facility, a tent city, a sports stadium, an old military base or a camp. You would not have any choice in the matter. And you would be forced to endure any medical procedure mandated by the government. That includes shots, vaccines and the drawing of blood. During such a scenario, you can scream about your "rights" all that you want, but it won't do any good.
In case you are tempted to think that I am making this up, I want you to read what federal law actually says. The following is 42 U.S.C. 264(d). I have added bold for emphasis...

(1) Regulations prescribed under this section may provide for the apprehension and examination of any individual reasonably believed to be infected with a communicable disease in a qualifying stage and (A) to be moving or about to move from a State to another State; or (B) to be a probable source of infection to individuals who, while infected with such disease in a qualifying stage, will be moving from a State to another State. Such regulations may provide that if upon examination any such individual is found to be infected, he may be detained for such time and in such manner as may be reasonably necessary. For purposes of this subsection, the term “State” includes, in addition to the several States, only the District of Columbia.
(2) For purposes of this subsection, the term “qualifying stage”, with respect to a communicable disease, means that such disease—
(A) is in a communicable stage; or
(B) is in a precommunicable stage, if the disease would be likely to cause a public health emergency if transmitted to other individuals.

In addition, as I discussed above, the CDC already has the authority to isolate people that are not sick to see if they do become sick. The following is what the CDC website says about this...

Quarantine is used to separate and restrict the movement of well persons who may have been exposed to a communicable disease to see if they become ill. These people may have been exposed to a disease and do not know it, or they may have the disease but do not show symptoms. Quarantine can also help limit the spread of communicable disease.

On a very basic level, we are already starting to see this happen in Texas. Obviously Thomas Eric Duncan has already been "isolated", and now his family has been placed under mandatory quarantine and ordered not to leave their home for 21 days...

Texas health officials have placed the Dallas family of a Liberian national infected with Ebola under quarantine and ordered them not to leave their home or have any contact with outsiders for 21 days without approval of the local or state health department.
The "control order" also requires the family of Thomas Eric Duncan to be available to provide blood samples and agree to any testing required by public health officials. Officials said Thursday that the four or five family members could face criminal charges for violating the order, which was delivered to them in writing Wednesday evening.
Police have been stationed at the apartment complex to ensure residents' safety, Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings told a news briefing Thursday afternoon.

If we could all just stay in our homes during a national Ebola emergency, that wouldn't be so bad.
But if thousands (or even millions) of cases start popping up it simply will not be possible for law enforcement authorities to monitor so many homes.
This is a point that Mike Adams of Natural News made exceptionally well...

When just one family is suspected of carrying Ebola, they can be easily monitored in a "volunteer home isolation" scenario. But what happens when it's 100 families? 500? 1,000? At that point, there aren't enough state or federal workers to keep an eye on these people, and the quarantine effort will almost certainly shift to forced relocation into quarantine camps.
Those camps will, of course, be called something nice-sounding like "Community Health Centers." No one in government or media will call them camps, even though they are camps. The word "camp" brings up echoes of "concentration camps" and the government definitely wants to avoid that association.
If one particular town or city is hit especially hard with the virus, there is a likelihood of the entire town being quarantined. No one in, no one out. Everybody will be ordered to "shelter in place" in their own homes for at least 21 days while health workers wearing hazmat suits go door to door, identifying Ebola victims and "relocating" them to the "Community Health Centers."

If that sounds like "martial law" to you, that is because it would essentially be martial law.
For the moment, public health authorities are pledging that nothing like this will ever happen because they have everything completely under control.
Others are not so sure.
For example, on Thursday a doctor from Missouri named Gil Mobley checked in for a flight at Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport dressed in a mask, goggles, gloves, boots and a protective white jumpsuit. On the back of the jumpsuit, he had written the following words: "CDC is lying!"
Mobley believes that we are not being told the truth about the spread of Ebola. And he is convinced that as Ebola continues to spread exponentially, that we will eventually "be importing clusters of Ebola on a daily basis"...

“Once this disease consumes every third world country, as surely it will, because they lack the same basic infrastructure as Sierra Leone and Liberia, at that point, we will be importing clusters of Ebola on a daily basis,” Mobley predicted. “That will overwhelm any advanced country’s ability to contain the clusters in isolation and quarantine. That spells bad news.”
Mobley, a Medical College of Georgia graduate who had an overnight layover after flying to Atlanta from Guatemala on Wednesday, said that he feels that the CDC is “asleep at the wheel” when it comes to screening passengers arriving in the United States from other countries.
“Yesterday, I came through international customs at the Atlanta airport,” the doctor told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “The only question they asked arriving passengers is if they had tobacco or alcohol.”

Earlier on Thursday, there were reports of people being tested for Ebola in Hawaii, Kentucky and Utah. None of those tests has produced a confirmed case of Ebola as I write this article.
Many Americans are still treating this Ebola crisis as if it was just one big joke.
But Ebola is no joking matter. This is a very, very serious disease.
Just consider the experience of one British health worker that witnessed a young brother and sister both die one day apart...

'The next morning I came in and saw him lying as I had left him, on the bed.
'He wasn't breathing. I remember going up to him and looking at his face, his lips were drawn back in a grimace, and his eyes were vacant, lying in a pool of his own diarrhea.
'I lifted his hand to try, just to confirm things and his whole body turned rigid and cold.
'I put him in a body bag as his sister looked on.
'She seemed more baffled than anything, not really understanding what was happening. I carried his corpse outside with the others.
'The little girl, she deteriorated the next day. Overnight, the following night she had intravenous fluids and the line came out and she bled.
'I came in the following morning and she was covered in blood. She still had a very puzzled expression on her face and she wasn't breathing.
'So I put her in a bag and left her next to her brother. She was a beautiful little girl.'

Hopefully our medical authorities are correct and this virus will not spread easily in this country.
But at this point even some of our top politicians are wondering if we are truly getting accurate information. For example, check out what U.S. Senator Rand Paul had to say on the Laura Ingraham Show just recently...

“I really think that it is being dominated by political correctness and I think because of political correctness we’re not really making sound, rational, scientific decisions on this.” Paul said referring to statements issued by the CDC last week that assured there was little risk of an outbreak occurring in the US.
“We should not underestimate the transmissibility of this,” said Paul, a doctor himself, adding that medical workers have been contracting the virus even though they are taking precautions and covering themselves with gowns and masks.
“My suspicion is that it’s a lot more transmissible than that if people who are taking every precaution are getting it. There are people getting it who simply helped people get in or out of a taxicab.” Paul said.

Let's pray that this crisis fizzles out, because if it doesn't, we could truly be looking at the greatest health crisis that any of us have ever seen.
And along with countless numbers of people getting sick and dying, we would also have to deal with government-imposed medical martial law.
The stakes are extremely high, and so let us hope that this crisis does not escalate any further.
