Did The Creator Of The Experimental Ebola Drug Joke About Culling 25% Of The World's Population?

Submitted by Mike Krieger of Liberty Blitzkrieg blog,

Charles Arntzen is the Regents' Professor and Florence Ely Nelson Presidential Chair of the Biodesign Institute at Arizona State University. Dr. Arntzen is known as a pioneer in the development of edible plant-based vaccines, and he has also been a key collaborator on what appears to be a promising new Ebola drug.

The Washington Post recently reported that:

It took nearly three decades of tireless research and countless millions of U.S. government dollars to produce a few grams of the experimental Ebola drug that may have saved the lives of two U.S. missionaries stricken by the virus in West Africa.

 

And now some are asking this question: If the drug did help missionaries Kent Brantly and Nancy Writebol, whose conditions appear to be improving, could the same drug be given to the hundreds of people dying of Ebola in Liberia, Sierra Leone, Guinea and Nigeria?

 

What would it cost? What are the ethics of distributing a drug that had never been tested on humans in foreign countries - even if medical authorities could persuade people to take it? And how fast could it be done?

 

"Two months," said Charles J. Arntzen, a professor at the Biodesign Institute at Arizona State University, who has collaborated for the past 15 years with Mapp Biopharmaceutical, the small San Diego company that produced the experimental serum given to the two Americans. "Maybe they could do it in a month. If they were [already] planning on it, I'm sure they could produce 10,000 doses in a month."

 

Anthony S. Fauci, director of the NIH’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, was more cautious in an interview on CNN on Tuesday. "It is not easy to make this serum," he said. "The number of doses that are available right now, today... is less than a handful.

Two months, or maybe even one month! Wow, this certainly seems like a miracle, right? The only problem is this guy is kind of creepy. In fact, he was apparently caught in 2012 joking about culling 25% of the world’s population to solve the challenging problem of feeding 8 billion people.

It was all caught on video:

So you don't have a dark sense of humor. Maybe it's more professional, more politically correct, and makes you more trustworthy and more of an obedience, moral slave who can't think outside the box....

Because I want to fight for my survival.

I don't want my survival to be guaranteed - boring and pathetic.

If I lose that fight, then I deserve to die and I can accept that.

"Has anybody seen Contagion?" Unfortunately, yes I have.  It was easily the worst movie I've seen in a long time.  That was only recently surpassed by the terrible, terrible, terrrrrible Anchorman 2 - which I actually turned off half-way through.

I SURVIVED BIRDFLU 2014!

 

Should I be worried about Ebola?

Have you been in contact with the bodily fluids of an Ebola victim?

 

Yes?

Please contact the CDC immediately

 

No?

Please shut the fuck up.

Bill Gates’ Polio Vaccine Program Caused 47,500 Cases of Paralysis Death

The polio death rate was decreasing on its own before the vaccine was introduced, and there is no credible scientific evidence that the vaccine caused polio to disappear. Cases of polio increased after mass inoculations.

Haha, that was a good one, doctor!

Never mind all the pansies who can't take a fucking joke.

So long to a people who supposedly detest "political correctness" -- yeah right. These people crack a joke about Hillary being ugly and they say with pride how NOT "politically correct" they are -- make a joke about how culling the population would be easier and watch their panties get into a big bunch.

Hypocrites. Congratulations on your outstanding contributions to society, doctor. Haters here won't have half the accomplishments you do to have inscribed on their tombstones.

When I was in school they taught us about over population, they no longer do.

It should be socially unacceptable to have more than one child now, people who have no children

should be looked up to.

So, you agree then, that certain people, David Rockefeller, Bill Gates Sr. and others should decide who lives and who dies. Over population is a canard, most of it brought about by corrupt trade practices that have driven countries once able to feed themselves into abject poverty. So, off yourself and reduce the population by one if you really believe it is a problem. Do your bit.

He travels often to Israel. He talks about people getting richer in the third world and able to eat more.

Useless eaters.

I dug a little deeper on the good Doctor Charles Arntzen

Dr. Arntzen received his bachelor's and masters degrees from the University of Minnesota and his Ph.D. from Purdue University. He is married to Kathy (Lang) Arntzen, and the father of one son, Christopher Arntzen, a partner in the Corporate Division of the Baker and Botts law firm in Houston, Texas.

Dr. Arntzen

2001-2008, President's Council of Advisors in Science and Technology (for George W. Bush), Executive Office of the President, United States Government

https://webapp4.asu.edu/directory/person/268457

 

Nearly four years have passed since Baker stridently proclaimed that "the vote in Florida has been counted and then recounted. Governor George W. Bush was the winner of the vote. He was also the winner of the recount." It scarcely matters now that Baker's statement wasn't true: When Baker made that pronouncement, on November 11, 2000, the recount had not even begun in two of the four counties the Gore campaign had targeted.

 

Meanwhile, back in Houston, Baker Botts is taking care of another charter member of the Texas crony network: Halliburton. Unfortunately for the oil services giant, Dick Cheney's ineptitude as CEO has left it with a panoply of legal problems. These include allegations that it engaged in improper accounting (Halliburton recently agreed to pay a $7.5 million fine to the SEC to settle that problem); ongoing investigations by the Pentagon into apparent overbilling for its logistics work in Iraq; and a wide-ranging investigation by French and American authorities into allegations that Halliburton employees paid bribes to secure a contract for a liquefied natural gas plant in Nigeria

Baker has a long history in Riyadh. He started traveling there while he was Ronald Reagan's Treasury Secretary. As Secretary of State in the first Bush Administration, he was a regular visitor to the House of Saud. After that, Baker and the senior Bush both joined the Carlyle Group, a wealthy merchant bank, which has become something of a retirement haven for former conservative bigwigs, including Reagan Defense Secretary Frank Carlucci and former British Prime Minister John Major. In 1993 Baker joined Carlyle as an equity partner and senior counselor. Bush joined later on a consulting basis. One of the primary jobs that Baker and Bush had at Carlyle was raising cash--and they were particularly adept at getting it from the Saudis.

Bush and Baker helped convince their pal and hunting buddy Prince Bandar bin Sultan, the longtime Saudi ambassador to the United States, to put money into Carlyle. Other Saudis who invested included two sons of the wealthy Saudi banker Khaled bin Mahfouz. A few million more came from the family of Osama bin Laden.

Several other big firms, including White & Case and two huge Texas-based firms--Akin Gump and Vinson & Elkins--are also active in the Persian Gulf. But thanks to the Bush-Baker symbiosis, Baker Botts appears to have closer ties to the Saudi royal family than any of the other firms. When two of the most powerful members of the House of Saud--the Saudi defense minister, Prince Sultan bin Abdulaziz Al-Saud, and his brother, Prince Salman bin Abdulaziz Al-Saud, the governor of Riyadh--needed lawyers to defend them against a lawsuit brought against them and other Saudis by survivors of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, Sultan and Salman hired Baker Botts. The firm categorically denies that it was hired because of any political influence it might have.
