WHO Lied As Congo Admits To Ebola Outbreak While Ebola-Infected Brit Returns Home
Last week, when we reported on the latest breakout of a mysterious Ebola-like disease, which had claimed at least 70 people's live at last check, we were skeptical by the WHO's attempts to mask the fact that an Ebola outbreak is something else entirely, in a desperate attempt to avoid the panic that would inevitably result from the confirmation that the Ebola virus has officially made its way into the fifth country, this time the second largest African nation by surface area, the Democratic Republic of Congo.
As Reuters reported at the time, citing a WHO spokesman who had sent an email to the news agency, "this is not Ebola" to which we mused: "perhaps the WHO is fibbing just a bit to prevent another all out panic. If not Ebola then what? According to WHO, the deaths are the result of an outbreak of hemorrhagic gastroenteritis, a disease prevalent in... dogs?
We concluded: "So is the WHO simply trying to prevent the spread of panic and deny that Ebola has now spread to the second largest country in Africa? We will surely find out soon enough, especially if the WHO, too, advises the population "to keep calm and BTFD"..."
Three days later we have the answer and sure enough, as we suspected the WHO was indeed lying.
Reuters confirms: Democratic Republic of Congo declared an Ebola outbreak in its northern Equateur province on Sunday after two out of eight cases tested came back positive for the deadly virus, Health Minister Felix Kabange Numbi said. A mysterious disease has killed dozens of people in Equateur in recent weeks but the World Health Organization had said on Thursday it was not Ebola.
"I declare an Ebola epidemic in the region of Djera, in the territory of Boende in the province of Equateur," Kabange Numbi told a news conference.
The region lies about 1,200 km (750 miles) north of the capital Kinshasa.
Numbi said that one of the two cases that tested positive was for the Sudanese strain of the disease, while the other was a mixture between the Sudanese and the Zaire strain -- the most lethal variety. The outbreak in West Africa that has killed at least 1,427 people in West Africa since March is the Zaire strain.
The World Health Organization said on Thursday that the disease which had killed at least 70 people in Equateur was a kind of hemorrhagic gastroenteritis.
Sadly, this simply means that the WHO is just the latest global organization willing to sacrifice its credibility in order to avoid the spread of social panic, even though the truth always emerges in the end, and when society realizes it can't even trust those mandated with telling the truth, the end panic is orders of magnitude worse.
One wonders: if the WHO was lying about this what other critical development is the organization fabricating and/or covering up?
And in a gruesome and very ironic twist, CNN reports that it was the very same World Health Organization, whose worker has fallen ill from Ebola for the very first time. The health worker is in Sierra Leone and receiving care, the WHO said, but provided no further details.
That's not all: separately, a British citizen infected with the virus in Sierra Leone is being flown home in a specially equipped C17 Royal Air Force plane.

Nigerian doctors, who had been on nationwide strike, have decided "due to the national health emergency" to return to work Monday. And meanwhile, Ivory Coast announced Saturday that it's closing its borders in response to the Ebola outbreak in West Africa as the official death toll (excluding 'shadow zones') reaches 1,427; and over 2600 cases as Liberia cases literally explode.
As CNN reports, a WHO health worker has become infected..
For the first time, a worker with the World Health Organization has fallen ill from Ebola, the WHO told CNN on Sunday.
The health worker is in Sierra Leone and receiving care, the WHO said. No further details were given immediately.
Since the beginning of the international response to the outbreak in March, WHO has deployed nearly 400 people from across the Organization and from partners in the Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network (GOARN) to help respond to the disease in Guinea, Liberia, Nigeria and Sierra Leone. This is the first time someone working under the aegis of WHO has fallen ill with the disease.
The Ebola virus is spread through contact with bodily fluids and people giving care or working around infected patients are known to be a high risk group. In the past six months of the outbreak, more than 225 health workers have fallen ill and nearly 130 have lost their lives to the disease they were working to contain.
Which again makes one wonder - just how easily is this disease really spread if nearly half a year after the start of the epidemic the world's most protected individuals can catch it despite all protective measures?
And separately...
a British citizen infected with the virus in Sierra Leone is being flown home, the British Department of Health announced Sunday.
The man, simply identified as William, lives in the West African nation in a home established by an American university for researchers.
He is a volunteer nurse in Kenema Government Hospital, where he was working with Ebola patients, according to Dr. Robert Garry of Tulane University.
...
The UK government said a specially equipped C17 Royal Air Force plane would transport the patient, who would be transferred to an isolation unit at the Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust.
"UK hospitals have a proven record of dealing with imported infectious diseases and this patient will be isolated and will receive the best care possible," said deputy chief medical officer John Watson in a press release.
Meanwhile:
Ivory Coast announced Saturday that it's closing its borders in response to the Ebola outbreak in West Africa.
Prime Minister Daniel Duncan signed the order that closes the land borders Ivory Coast shares with Guinea and Liberia.
The borders will remain closed until further notice in an effort to prevent the Ebola virus from spreading into its territory, according to the government statement.
Finally, Nigerian doctors announced they will return to work after ending a nationwide strike:
- NIGERIAN DOCTORS END NATIONWIDE STRIKE, TO RESUME WORK TOMORROW
- NIGERIAN DOCTORS END STRIKE DUE TO NATIONAL HEALTH EMERGENCY
- DOCTORS TO RETURN TO WORK WHILE CONTINUING NEGOTIATIONS
- NIGERIAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION PRESIDENT OBEMBE COMMENTS IN ABUJA
And visually, Liberian deaths and cases have exploded

damn dups
I think "a deliberate attempt to spread" is more likely, especially, considering "the character and intelligence of the politicians (and oligarchs) running" America.
Agreed Winston. This transport is a crime against humanity.
Older forms of the disease have disappeared abruptly. That does not mean they "burned out." A misleading and fairly useless phrase.
Reston mutated into an air borne form in a period of under two months. It may or may not be deadly to humans. I'll bet a few people at Fort Detrick know, but they aren't talking.
Georgiea Guide Stones in action.
The IMF lies, WHO lies, NSA lies, UN lies.
The only truth is WE ARE SO FUCKED.
Maybe they're confusing the Congo in Africa to the one on the south side of Chicago.
If anyone dying from Ebola can make it to the US/Mexican border Obama will take care of you.
...get a jump on your neighbors and get your own FLAMETHOWER ready! Homey Dee carries them for $49.97, sans propane tank. They have them on display in the WELDING section, an adjunct to their tool dept. You will need to get a back up tank of propane to deal with pesky Zombies. Play it smart and turn this baby into a decent home-grown flamethrower. Might come in handy!
WHO lied? Oh my gosh, am shocked. A clue-in is due...ALL GOVERNMENT AGENCIES are LYING SACKS OF SHIT. It is in their nature. Forget the lesson imparted in the clasic movie "Crying Game?" Airlines know better, but are willing to sacrifice their pilots, flight attendants and ground crews all to keep their planes flying. One missed flight costs them millions. No backbone there, not even worth the inquiry.
Things will be fine---until they are not. I actually can see the 'Net being shut down once Delhi, Mumbai, Bangkok, Jakarta, HK, Singa "take off." Singapore has a chance as they know how to act. Hopeless.
Go Long Caterpillar as some serious earth-moiving machinery will be in demand to scoop up and burn all the corpses left rotting in the streets of a municipality near you. The Great Die Off has begun....plan on spending your next summer's vacation in your back yard. Break out the parlour games, they'll come in handy.
This Virus is an airborne baby sucker!!! http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger2/3273/1616/1600/toilet_baby2b.jpg
‘AIRBORNE’ Ebola Virus – Public Health Agency of Canada! http://www.phac-aspc.gc.ca/lab-bio/res/psds-ftss/ebola-eng.php
Nosocomial infections can occur through contact with infected body fluids due to the reuse of unsterilized syringes, needles, or other medical equipment contaminated with these fluids (1, 2). Humans may be infected by handling sick or dead non-human primates and are also at risk when handling the bodies of deceased humans in preparation for funerals, suggesting possible transmission through aerosol droplets (2, 6, 28). In the laboratory, infection through small-particle aerosols has been demonstrated in primates, and airborne spread among humans is strongly suspected, although it has not yet been conclusively demonstrated (1, 6, 13).
Growing concerns over ‘in the air’ transmission of Ebola http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-20341423
Now, researchers from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency and the country's Public Health Agency have shown that pigs infected with this form of Ebola can pass the disease on to macaques without any direct contact between the species.
In their experiments, the pigs carrying the virus were housed in pens with the monkeys in close proximity but separated by a wire barrier. After eight days, some of the macaques were showing clinical signs typical of ebola and were euthanised.
One possibility is that the monkeys became infected by inhaling large aerosol droplets produced from the respiratory tracts of the pigs.
One of the scientists involved is Dr Gary Kobinger from the National Microbiology Laboratory at the Public Health Agency of Canada. He told BBC News this was the most likely route of the infection.
"What we suspect is happening is large droplets - they can stay in the air, but not long, they don't go far," he explained.
"But they can be absorbed in the airway and this is how the infection starts, and this is what we think, because we saw a lot of evidence in the lungs of the non-human primates that the virus got in that way."
It makes common sense that a larger type of droplet could spread Ebola. The droplet IS A FLUID. How big is Ebola virus? How many virus can ride along on a sneeze droplet. Have you seen someone sneeze when the light of a window backlights them? A number of the droplets are quite large! This is beyond debate. So, they say Ebola can not ride in those droplets. I am a layman, I can always be dead fucking wrong, BUT, my common sense tells me, stay the fuck away from an Ebola patient of they sneeze.
So again, How does WHO explain even western doctors all suited up can catch Ebola. What, they do not answer? No surprise.
My guess is, either we keep this infection in Africa, it's home, or we are screwed.
Today the WHO claimed the outbreak began with one child biten by a Fruit Bat infected, the mother and child both died. Funeral workers and those whi attended the funeral were the proven vector to carry Ebola out of that village and to where it is today. Hard to catch? Okay.
Brownian movement, as someone the other day said, would keep the small particles up for a long time.
How big is Ebola virus?
100 million of them could rest comfortably on the period at the end of this sentence.
The thing is pure RNA, only seven protein molecules..., that's it.
In lab experiments, as few as 5-10 virus particles could infect a cell.
Good post by the way!
TnX!
If this Ebola is 'airborne' indeed the case and while we go into winter Ebola won't be a big problem here and will fizzle out but according to my info a big N?H? type virus is on it's way as we speak.
ZH was right, and the fucking WHO was wrong. Liars. Imagine being one of these highly paid WHO workers, not the field workers who risk life to save people, no, the office bound over paid useless pricks. Here we catch them lying. Now it IS Ebola, who is surprised, EXCEPT, follower sof main strem media. CNN proudly spread the WHO lies and said "all is well, this isn't Ebola". Right.
How would James Cole respond to your comment, I wonder.
He must have gone to bed.
Q: how does one disinfect a Boeing 777 or Airbus 580?
A: No one truly knows the lingering contagion factor. Might sppok paying customers away. I've worked on many aircraft and many "folks" have mental image of a modern jet aircraft undergoing de-icing prior to taking off in inclement and snowy conditions. Except this time...it would be the INTERIOR of a plane. Spray what...clorox? Ventilation systems and seats? How about electrical shorts?
Go Long Hand Sanitizers and SCUBA gear if traveling. Wise to stay put in a remote area with supplies. Medical Martial Law will be declared only when it is too late.....

repost from an earlier thread.
They have a cure or vaccine for everything from male pattern baldness to hammer toe. I just don't think the profit margin is high enough to reveal the vaccine yet. I bet one day soon it will hit the airwaves and evrybody will beg for the vaccine. I bet CVS or Walgreens will do a twofer with the shingles vaccine for $32.50
I bought Sep. 20th $13 calls on BioCryst who has developed a protein that stops EBOLA from replicating in primates.....a cure....and has received 22 million in funding BT the US Army. They published their findings in the Journal, Nature.
My company also invented a cure for the Ebola virus. We also found a way to end poverty and racism. Buy my calls.

DOWN ARROW!
BULLISH!
"In a time of universal deceit - telling the truth is a revolutionary act." - George Orwell
Believe in yourself.
So begins "Operation Population Control." I've heard TPTB would like to see the world population at 500 million. Disease is the only way - besides war, of course - to get the population size whittled to an "acceptable number." My husband's a biochemist and he ain't real happy or trusting of WHO at this point. And, if you trust the CDC, which, for some reason, has an ebola patent, or the WHO, well, good luck with all that!
"So begins "Operation Population Control.""
There's a big problem with that scenario.
Let's say you take the population down to 10%. You still have the same ratio of school teachers, bus drivers, barbers, etc. so no immediate problem there, but you're left with only 1/10th the number of advanced degree scientists.
Now, even if you protect every present day scientist, they too will eventually die, and who will replace them?
The pool of potential talent has just been reduced to 10%, but the problems that science addresses have not...
such as, oh... how to deal with a new lethal virus outbreak, for example, or how to clean up the nuclear mess the other 90% left behind.
You see the problem, right?
Here's the weird thing: TWO STRAINS
Re-read the OP. The information seems to indicate that the second strain discussed is a NEW HYBRID strain.
It is a new synthesis/mutation with characteristics of both the previously known Sudanese and Zairean strains.
I'm by no means an expert; but, my understanding is that this would indicate that Ebola has cross-bred and mutated within one or more carriers infected with both parent strains and that this thrd strain is now a completely new contagion with as yet unknown transmission efficiency and morbidity profiles..
This is really seriously BAD news.
Ebola is busy changing itself even as plasma anti-bodies are collected from survivors and zMAPP anti-virus production are ramped up. NEITHER the existing plasma antibodies nor the zMAPP may work on the new strain.
The new strain could also be much worse than either of the previous strains identified in the outbreak: more contagious, able to survive outside the host/carrier longer in droplets in the air or on surfaces, more lethal, etc...
It's not that bad (yet)
A WHO spokesperson said the U.N. health agency could not confirm the results of the tests announced on Sunday, which were carried out by the Congolese authorities...
Numbi said that one of the two cases that tested positive was for the Sudanese strain of the disease, while the other was a mixture between the Sudanese and the Zaire strain.
Congo has really basic and primitive diagnostic equipment (nobody is sequencing virus genomes in Congo). So one person could simply be infected with both strains, particularly if that person was a healthcare worker.
The $64k question would be is the Zaire strain in Congo a descendant of the existing Zaire strain that has been present in Congo before, or it related to the West African strain that forked from the known Zaire strains a decade or so ago...
At least we know there are somewhere between two and four (or more) strains of ebola currently throwing ragers in the African community.
The number of EVD infected M.D.s and trained healthcare workers has now reached 225, and 130 of them are dead, not because 225 professionals made the careless mistake of making skin contact with patient bodily fluids, but because this is a new strain transmissible through moist air and/or by moist skin contact.
It used to be said 'Doctors bury their mistakes, architects plant a bush': but now, financially-minded medical, vaccine and political braniacs are burying the doctors.
WHO'S on first?
The group that runs the West is INSANE, perhaps through inbreeding, because they had the Golden Goose, make that Geese, they were profiting hugely, including South Africa and Rhodesia, America made them Kings of the World, although in a shadow sense, mustn't talk about them you know. Yet I understand their desire to get rid of White Christians, make that ALL Whites who are not THEM. Yet they unleash forces that may indeed engulf them as well. Yet perhaps they are more FOCUSED on the GOAL, the eradication of the European peoples, than on their own survival, mayhaps this is, indeed, their MISSION STATEMENT.
Bringing INFECTED EBOLA patients into the white homelands is VERY wrong, and VERY dangerous.
Well whites sold their heritage for shiny baubles such as tv and so forth oh and FILTHY LUCRE but now that has been taken away from the White Christian, and it will only get worse. Unless...
Global Research posted this. worth reading
http://www.globalresearch.ca/the-ebola-outbreak-u-s-sponsored-bioterror/...
Post-graduate level Ebola discussions going on here regarding the scary possibility of EVD transmissability by 'latent', asymptomatic but infected carriers:
"Do we know if there are asymptotic cases, or what percentage of the West African people are naturally immune to its infection, and if this subset of people can be carriers passing on the disease. No virus has the ability to replicate in every individual. Natural immunity can come from previous exposure, I.e. living close to the natural vector (perhaps the fruit bat), or different genotypes"
"If there is a period of transmissibility prior to clear onset of symptoms i.e in the early fever stage, it would suggest that contacts need to be quarantined, not monitored."
If these guys are right, it's time for a Tyvex:

Shits getting interesting.
The Democratic Republic of Congo doesn't exist. It's a myth. It's a land mass that exists, occupying roughly 900k sq. miles, but the government controls Kinshasa, the capital, and a couple of border towns. The interior is a sea of petty fiefdoms. Ebola was made for the Democratic Republic of Congo. With its huge pool of natural resources, the only thing standing in the way of harvesting them is the native population, estimated at something like 77miliion, but no one knows for sure.
The Democratic Republic of Congo ranks 186th out of 187 nations in the Human Development Index. It's the original primordial jungle caveman-land. So what better way to "move the abo's off the land" than a plague? Bear in mind, they're tried to use HIV/AIDS to do the heavy lifting, but they needed something with a higher morbidity rate. Enter Ebola.
Apparently, Patric Sawyer, who died from ebola and was one plane flight away from Minnesota, tested positive for ebola BEFORE leaving Liberia and infecting people in Nigeria. He's the guy that collapsed in the Lagos, Nigeria, airport and was the first ebola case in Nigeria. He was approved for travel by his friend, the Liberian Deputy Finance Minister, Sebastian Omar.

Yes, and allegedly lied about having contact with Ebola victims to try and avoid quarantine and even urinated on staff who tried to restrain him. He's quite the character. Amazing how fear turned the man into an animal. Can you imagine if even a small % of newly infected victims act like he did? I think the cat is out of the bag.
"...just how easily is this disease really spread if nearly half a year after the start of the epidemic the world's most protected individuals can catch it despite all protective measures?"
Good point. The WHO and of course MSM and governments are lying thru their teeth. Nothing new with that. I think that Ebola virus is actually airborne and can be contracted that way as well as by contact with body fluids.
That is the only rationale explanation for the handling of those being infected.
One look at the extreme isolation measures being taken with those who have contracted it - eg: the British guy flown home last night in a specially fitted out military plane inside an airtight plastic bubble tent, and then transported with a police convoy to a specially fitted out hospital - is plain evidence that there is a known risk of contracting Ebola from breathing air. It may be that when Ebola leaves the body it becomes weak and eventually dies, but that changes nothing.
UK quarantine facilities are now 100% full if this chap went to Royal Free.
This is the ONLY room like it in the country.....
