Ebola In America: The Confirmed Case In Dallas, Texas Could Change Everything
Submitted by Michael Snyder of The Economic Collapse blog,
The day that many of us hoped would never arrive is here. Ebola has come to America. Air travel between the United States and the countries of Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone should have been totally shut down except for absolutely essential personnel but it wasn't. And now our nation may end up paying a great price as a result. On Tuesday, the CDC announced that there is a confirmed case of Ebola in Dallas, Texas. We know that this individual is a male and that he traveled by air from Liberia to Texas on September 19th. At that time, he was not exhibiting any symptoms. It is being reported that he started developing symptoms on September 24th and that he sought out treatment two days later. Incredibly, he was turned away and sent home. Then on September 28th he went to a hospital again and this time he was admitted for treatment. That means that he could have potentially been spreading Ebola to others for at least four full days before finally getting treated at a hospital. Now he is in intensive care at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas. The CDC says that "there is no doubt that we will stop it here" and is promising that "it will not spread widely in this country". The CDC better be right on both counts.
At this point, the CDC is admitting that it is not known if others have been infected by this individual. The CDC also says that it is tracking down everyone that he has been in contact with. But over four days in a major U.S. city, you can be "in contact" with a whole lot of people. And what about all of the people that those people were in contact with?
If I was in charge of this crisis, I would admit that we don't know the full scope of the problem yet but that we are dealing with it the best that we can.
Instead, the director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is taking an entirely different approach. Dr. Thomas Frieden insists that we have absolutely nothing to worry about...
"I have no doubt that we will control this case of Ebola, so that it does not spread widely in this country. It is certainly possible that someone who has had contact with this patient could develop Ebola. But there is no doubt in my mind that we will stop it here."
Frieden better be right about that.
Other "experts" are being even more dogmatic...
"There is no cause for concern," says Peter Hotez, dean of the National School of Tropical Medicine and professor at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston. "The Ebola virus is not easily transmitted from person to person, and we have an outstanding infrastructure in place both to contain the virus and trace contacts. There will not be an Ebola epidemic in the United States."
I have no idea how they can say these things when the outbreak over in Africa is completely and totally out of control. Despite extreme precautions, hundreds of health workers have gotten the virus, and so far global health officials have not even been able to slow down the exponential growth of the Ebola pandemic in West Africa.
And our health officials should not be so dogmatic about how this virus spreads either.
In a previous article, I discussed a study that was conducted back in 2012 that demonstrated that Ebola could be transmitted through the air between pigs and monkeys that did not have physical contact with one another...
When news broke that the Ebola virus had resurfaced in Uganda, investigators in Canada were making headlines of their own with research indicating the deadly virus may spread between species, through the air.
The team, comprised of researchers from the National Centre for Foreign Animal Disease, the University of Manitoba, and the Public Health Agency of Canada, observed transmission of Ebola from pigs to monkeys. They first inoculated a number of piglets with the Zaire strain of the Ebola virus. Ebola-Zaire is the deadliest strain, with mortality rates up to 90 percent. The piglets were then placed in a room with four cynomolgus macaques, a species of monkey commonly used in laboratories. The animals were separated by wire cages to prevent direct contact between the species.
Within a few days, the inoculated piglets showed clinical signs of infection indicative of Ebola infection. In pigs, Ebola generally causes respiratory illness and increased temperature. Nine days after infection, all piglets appeared to have recovered from the disease.
Within eight days of exposure, two of the four monkeys showed signs of Ebola infection. Four days later, the remaining two monkeys were sick too. It is possible that the first two monkeys infected the other two, but transmission between non-human primates has never before been observed in a lab setting.
There is much that we don't understand about this disease.
I can understand the need to keep the public calm, but why don't these officials just tell us the truth?
At the same time that they are telling us that there is no chance that there will be an Ebola epidemic in the United States, they are also sending out guidelines to funeral homes on how to deal with dead Ebola victims...
CBS46 News has confirmed the Centers for Disease Control has issued guidelines to U.S. funeral homes on how to handle the remains of Ebola patients. If the outbreak of the potentially deadly virus is in West Africa, why are funeral homes in America being given guidelines?
The three-page list of recommendations include instructing funeral workers to wear protective equipment when dealing with the remains since Ebola can be transmitted in postmortem care. It also instructs to avoid autopsies and embalming.
Why are they doing this if there is "no chance" that the disease will spread widely?
Hopefully they isolated this Ebola patient in Dallas in time.
Hopefully he did not infect anyone else.
But we need to be honest about the situation that we are potentially facing. So far, there have been more than 6,000 cases of Ebola in Africa and more than 3,000 of those have died. Unfortunately, even WHO officials admit that those official numbers "great underestimate" the scope of this outbreak. The number of official cases has been doubling approximately every three weeks, and the CDC says that under a "worst case scenario" we could be looking at 1.4 million cases by the end of January 2015.
Right now all of the treatment facilities in Liberia and Sierra Leone are completely full and more than 80 percent of Ebola patients have been turned away and sent home without being treated. It is an absolute nightmare, and now it has come to America.
And as the virus continues to spread, it is inevitable that more carriers of the disease will get on airplanes headed for America.
Unfortunately for us, according to a recent Defense One article the screening done at airports actually does very little to stop the spread of Ebola...
The bad news is that thermal screenings of the international flying population at airports are not likely to yield much by way of improved safety.
Here’s why: fever can be a sign of a lot of different illnesses, not just Ebola. And thermal scanning proved to be a poor method of catching bird flu carriers in 2009 as well. So presenting with an elevated temperature at an airport checkpoint does not indicate clearly enough that the fevered person is carrying the deadly virus. More importantly, the incubation period for Ebola is two days. As many as 20 days can pass before symptoms show up. That means that an individual could be carrying the virus for two weeks or longer and not even know it, much less have it show up via thermal scan. So what good are these scanners?
When I first started writing about Ebola, a few people accused me of "spreading fear".
Well, now that Ebola has arrived in the United States, perhaps they will take a second look at some of my recent articles...
-"The Pure Hell At The Heart Of The Ebola Pandemic In Africa Could Soon Be Coming To America"
-"Computer Models Tell Us That This Ebola Pandemic Could Soon Kill Millions"
-"16 Apocalyptic Quotes From Global Health Officials About This Horrific Ebola Epidemic"
-"Ebola Among Health Workers: More Than 240 Sick, More Than 120 Dead"
-"It Is Becoming Clear – We Are NOT Prepared For An Ebola Pandemic"
Let us pray that this is just one isolated case and that there will not be a major outbreak in this nation.
Because if cases do start popping up around the country, fear will spread like wildfire and we could potentially be facing the greatest health crisis that any of us have ever seen.
One of the individuals that successfully survived this disease was Dr. Kent Brantly. I think that the following quote from him really does a great job of summarizing what we are potentially facing...
"Many have used the analogy of a fire burning out of control to describe this unprecedented Ebola outbreak," Brantly said. "Indeed it is a fire—it is a fire straight from the pit of hell. We cannot fool ourselves into thinking that the vast moat of the Atlantic Ocean will protect us from the flames of this fire. Instead, we must mobilize the resources ... to keep entire nations from being reduced to ashes."
A virus like this could change everything if it starts circulating widely.
Like I have said so many times before, let us hope for the best, but let us also prepare for the worst.

This is why you send 3,000 troops to Africa to fight EBOLA.
You can shoot it out of the air like big fat ducks.
Just wait till the first TSA agent contracts Ebola, that should put a damper on their groping...
"Hopefully they isolated this Ebola patient in Dallas in time. Hopefully he did not infect anyone else. ... A virus like this could change everything if it starts circulating widely."

What if one is half and half?
2nd infection in effect.
http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2014/10/01/texas-ebola-patient...
Local DFW news says 18 people are under observation for Ebola symptoms. These people include family members of the patient, five school-aged children, and the ambulence crew that took the patient to the hospital the second time.
But, the nice CDC man told us not to worry. He said that government health officials have everything under control.
Forward (over the cliff)!
I wouldn't panic. Ebola is hard to contract. It's not airborne. And you practically have to take a bath in bodily fluids to get the virus. Don't eat infected blood or feces.
Too late. Ebola red wings, bitchez!
June 16, 1980 – July 4, 1980
At a remote U.S. Army base, a weaponized strain of influenza, officially known as Project Blue and nicknamed "Captain Trips", is accidentally released. Despite an effort to put the base under lockdown, a security malfunction allows a soldier, Charles Campion, to escape with his family. By the time the military tracks the already-deceased Campion to Texas, he has triggered a pandemic of apocalyptic proportions which eventually kills off 99.4% of the world's human population.

"2nd infection in effect."
If true, kaboom!
It'll spread exponentially.
Ebola's cousin has started rearing it's head in India......Ebola is not the only one to draw global attention. If this Indian bug takes off....Ebola will look small.
Ebola can be contracted by some form of contact, even a handshake or airborne in the vicinity of an existing patient.
However, this NDM-1 and NDM-4 from India, they only require one to do what we have done only 3 times a day since birth i.e. EAT some form of food. Eating, drug resistance, poor sanitation, chemicals in the food chain etc can cause this bacteria to enter the body's immune system and then NO known medicine can treat this. In Ebola, at least, we have some medication through which the US patients have recovered.
Why India should be worried about the Aligarh superbug
http://www.livemint.com/Politics/F9cXdam9j36xhzkegjZF3L/Why-India-should...
“Easily treatable, mild illnesses are going to be the mass killers of the 21st century,” said Narendra Saini, secretary general, Indian Medical Association (IMA)."
We wait for Ebola, NDM-1 etc to take over and naturally bring the human population down, and that is how the blame will be passed on to 'nature' than us humans.
Poor choice of words there...somehow I don't think she'll be embracing them.
It's a weird day when I read an article by Louis Fucking Farrakhan and agree with a lot of it. Could just be the whiskey...
Dogs and cars sleeping together, and all that shit...
Wish in one hand, shit in the other.
Send this guy to Fergusson for treatment.
I'm sure the CDC would also assure US that this Ebola victim in Texas is the only one that could have entered the country. Of course... No doubt there are no Africans in LA or SD or SF or NY or...that might have relatives or friends visiting them from the Homeland. No doubt...
It's a wonderful day in the neighborhood...
If all turns out OK, I have to thank "circumstance" for increasing my bug-out basement supply of Jack Daniels and Cabernet to the triple digits of cases... If the world is going to end, I want to drink to that--over and over and over...
If you know any vile liberals or Democrats - remind them they voted for open borders and Ebola.
Pinto. Here is the link to the Canadian study. I had posted it on ZH July 28. Then Snyder wrote an article about it on Aug 6. He has a link to it on his website.

Something which must be considered is airborne transmission.
"Here we show Zaire Ebola Virus transmission from pigs to cynomolgus macaques without direct contact ... The present study provides evidence that infected pigs can efficiently transmit ZEBOV to NHPs in conditions resembling farm setting. Our findings support the hypothesis that airborne transmission may contribute to ZEBOV spread, specifically from pigs to primates, and may need to be considered in assessing transmission from animals to humans in general."

It's not to late to halt air travel.
On a positive note puts on American Airlines and United are flying off the shelf
Shades of 9/11
3000 US troops sent to Africa... how many going to Texas in the next few months, I wonder?
Of course it's Texas that gets the first Ebola case...and not DC or New York City...
Take heart....
Our traveling puss bag made a connection @ Dulles.
So there's that.
I thought going full retard was frowned upon. Tyler, your writers are starting to sound like 12 year old girls.
Now it's an absolute certainty that the global elite will round up the ZH writers and put them in the bunkers, just in case you're right.
In my more cynical moments, I think they use ZH to keep those aware of world events moored to their internet screens, instead of being more, shall we say, active.
sound like 12 year old girls
How?
Michael Synder is a miserable fuckimg cunt! Don't you ever have anything positive to say, even fucking a goat or something?
Most goats I've heard from say he's an extremely attentive partner.
If you want a cheery take on the Ebola topic, may I suggest the usual suspects in media? Perhaps you could loop yesterday's CDC presser for a morale booster?
"I'm from the gummint and I'm gonna piss on your back and assure you that it's raining."

I WILL LAY FLAT ON A CHOPPING BOARD ON A STREET IN DALLAS AND LET EVERY ONLOOKER BE GIVEN A MACHETE. IF THEY THREATEN ME TO BE QUIET ABOUT MY CONVICTION THAT OUR GOVERNMENT HAS ALL IT TAKES TO PUT THIS DISEASE UNDER CONTROL, I WILL SAY THEY CAN AND LET PIECES OF MY FLESH BE ON THE FLOOR.
IF THEY ALLOW IT TO GO OUT OF CONTROL, WHICH THEY POSSIBLY MAY, ITS BECAUSE THEY WANT TO!

No, it wont change things. The elite will all be safely vaccinated and the rest of us will create body burning jobs by dying painfully.
All comes together. DUMBS, zillions of plastic FEMA coffins, billions of rounds or hollow points, the Camps, indefinite detention (health or non health related) list just goes on and on.
Anybody but me note that for those ZMAPP folks to make the vaccine, they needed the virus to begin with?
Anybody but me remember that one of the W African outbreak countries said they wanted the US Army to cease experiments and leave?
Anybody but.... oh neverthefuckmind
If a little green man from Mars dropped in and took a look he'd say that it was all preplanned.
'If a little green man',,,im here.
.
Its preplanned - so in that way our 'rulers' can control the outcome each time.
Heads we lose,
Tails they win.
Vaccination ain't gonna stop them starving to death.
What. You thought those store shelves stock themselves?
It gets bad enough, nobody escapes. No. Body.
That goof Frieden saying everything is under control is the equivalent of Obama saying Islam is a religion of peace.

"saying everything is under control"
What other choice does he have? They might not get a handle on it as it is, and if people are running about looting stores and ransacking emergency rooms trying to get medical supplies, it just gets worse.
You need to get some imagination working here. Imagine the worse. Then go one better. Then sit back have stiff drink and just let your imagination go. And maybe after all that you'll see why he has to say everything is under control.
USA citezen, Visa, or none of the above?
BTW, I do like the way they waited until the markets closed before reporting the CDC's announcement on Tuesday.
Yes I agree that Ebola will change everything politically. Before ebola people could let the NWO slowly drain away their wealth. Now Washington D.C. has gone to physically attacking the US and people won't let that ride.
I received my voting pamphlet for November today. Every politician that is in office is getting voted out of office unless I know who they are and agree with their records. The fools in office allowed this to occur and the open boarders and bringing in the ebola epidemic are way over the top.
Perry should be recalled.
How cute! You think voting will, um, "get rid of them!"
May not do any good, but what better use of a cold Tuesday in November? I started voting against every incumbent on the ballot in 2008.
Politicians should be changed as often as diapers.
Isn't this cute
http://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/ebola-virus-outbreak/ebola-patient-thom...
This is what a number of us have continued to say on this site. It may very well become obvious that this man at least suspected he had contracted Ebola and came to the United States in an attempt to save his life. I may be wrong. It may sound harsh, but human nature prompting this - as in self preservation - should be clear.
Well...his futile act of self preservation could very well lead to manslaughter on a biblical scale.
What a dick.
And it's working. He's getting way better treatment here than he ever would have in Africa. Any African that can afford a ticket and thinks he may have been infected is on his way over. And if they close the airways... then fly to Mexico and take a cab across the border.
Yes, exactly forest. If anyone reads the link above from Bill of Rights, this man took a sick young girl to a clinic and they were turned away. The girl dies a few hours later. This man's brother dies a few days later as a result of him being in the taxi. It seems pretty obvious his options were clear and very very pressing. As cruel and bizarre as it may sound, if this man does live it may be a further inducement for others to follow in his footsteps out of the country.
Jack Burton and knuks have been pounding the drums on this from day one.
Yup!
"He's getting way better treatment here than he ever would have in Africa."
That's right...any guess who's footing the bill?
I live in Dallas. I flew thru Miami on the 21st. About 3 days later I came down with a serious cold, that I am still fighting now. Then, I read this story and I started connecting the timelines. I was spooked for a few seconds!!!
Just to be on the safe side, get on the next flight to DC and spit on every handrail/desk/chair/coffee cup you can in the capitol building and k street.
Skip K street and go to the IRS, EPA, DHS, etc.
Save us, government! I'm trrified!
(Did I do it right?)
Close, but you forgot the "WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE " part.
Possible cure for Ebola: Bob Beck Protocol
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MkiX0jJJozk
Executive summary:
In 1990 two scientists at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York, discovered that it is possible to destroy the AIDS virus using an electrical current of 50 - 100 micro amperes (millionths of an amp).
They went on to get a patent on an elaborate blood cleansing device, suitable for hospital use (Patent No. 5,188,738 )
Physicist and electronics expert, Bob Beck, figured out how to make a simple, non invasive, hand held device that did the same thing.
By wearing this device an hour or two a day, patients were cured of AIDS, hepatitis, chronic fatigue syndrome, Epstein Barr, and many other diseases, for the cost of a single 9 volt transistor radio battery.
A mild electric current was found to be effective against all kinds of bacteria, viruses, mold spores, parasites, and pathogens but harmless to healthy blood cells.
Later he invented an electromagnetic device that killed infections in lymph nodes and places the blood electrifier did not reach (also non invasive).
Still later, they added silver colloid and ozonated water to the protocol.
He went around lecturing and distributing the plans and specifications for these devices free of charge in the mid to late 1990s.
Many people have built and used them with success, including me.
You can build the devices for about $75 each or buy them ready made for $250 to $350 from SOTA Instruments in Canada.
I can't claim any dramatic cures because I was not sick in the first place. But have cured colds in 5 or 10 minutes, and promoted healing of minor cuts.
I sincerely believe that no one needs to die of Ebola if this treatment is applied at the first sign of illness.
You keep posting this. You have a right to, of course, free speech. And I have a right to be annoyed by spammers.
Spam or important information? I have posted this to Ebola threads hoping to get the information out where it can do some good.
However, if you don't like it I will not post it again.
I already have mine. The rest of you can do as you think best.
I once stopped the onset of flu with a 5th of Wild Turkey.
No shit.
Was spiking a fever of 101 before I started the "treatment".
Didn't even have a hangover when I woke up the next day.
Did the same last winter...with vodka that time. Wife, who is an MD was kind of impressed. Cheap and at the very least takes the edge off for sure. I think timing is key though. Gotta get chugging right away.
Free speech. Funny how a clearly written amendment could have blown up into this untouchable gospel. "Congress shall make no law.." just means that congress needs to keep their hands of restriction. Tyler has every right to stiffle. And I firmly believe not everyone has an opinion worth voicing.

Maybe those scientists in Canada should have shocked the monkey(s). Sorry Peter Gabriel.

I built one of those too. Part of the Beck protocol. It works.
(The one I made was the original Bob Beck design not the much simpler "Godzilla" device shown on this site. The original design called for 27 volts DC, reversing polarity 4 times per second. I don't know if this much simplified device works and it does not seem to have been tested)
"Possible cure for Ebola"
Nope! That shit won't even get past the Planck Constant.
Planck's constant has nothing to do with it.
i can kill you with 40 micro amperes if you give me enough voltage.
pretty much you can kill any tissue. and youre' a fucktarded moron. stop posting this fucktacular stupidity fucktard.
True enough.
But what of the Leech Protocol? Load your body with, say, 40 lbs of them.
Suck out all the virus. I've heard encouraging results!
Although, you'll have no blood left....and a new possible reservoir for the virus, but they are trying to work through that.
Outside the box. That's what we need.
/s
That is why we use 27 volts or less, controlled by a rheostat. You should not feel more than a slight tingling. Less power than a TENS unit.
You agree with me that you can kill anything with electricity, but when I propose electrocuting Ebola viruses you go ballistic? WTF?
Pass the TSA anti-groping bill.

I remember during the 1995 Ebola outbreak, the MSM were in panic mode, sounded scared shitless, doing their best to scare people.
But today, the MSM sound positively giddy about the prospect of Americans being infected with Ebola.
What changed?
It was Bush's fault. ( Actually, Clinton was there, but I had to say it.)
What changed is that the MSM are now mostly run by MBA sociopaths, and anything that sells media is good for media even if it means that media will end up bleeding out the eyeballs like everyone else. No seriously, these guys will be crowing about their excellent quarterly revenues even as they need to run down the hall to the mens room to shit their guts out.
It's part of the fog of denial and fantasy that grips America now. Almost nobody operates in the real world anymore. Couldn't find the real world with both hands.
A Negro in the Oval Office.
Hey now, think of it this way; if the majority die off due to Ebola it would be a windfall for several reasons.
You see there would be many new jobs created in the care and cleanup plus the dead would vacate currently occupied positions; full employment.
Add to that the dead will be unable to sell their equities or collect retirement benefits thereby driving assets higher and solving the unfunded liability issue in one fell swoop.
On top of all that this comes at a time when a dip is in progress so equities are on sale already, I think the choice is clear, time to load the boat boys!
I'm not dead yet!
Just have to make the 'Ebola Epidemic' an act of war...
...and presto, life insurance policies null and void.
i think they call it an 'act of god' in most policies...which, depending on how you look at it....
Im getting better.
no you're not, you'll be stone dead in a moment.
I think I'll go for a walk.
Ohh knock it off you will be soon..

That .00004" Ebola ninja virus does not give a shit if it is in a 3rd world shit hole or in a modern, metropolitan area with excellent sanitation and health services. It is just looking for some entry into a body and then it starts replicating at warp speed. All the modern medicine and state of the art healthcare facilities can't stop that little bugger from burrowing into you and turning you into a bloody bag of pus - sorry folks, that's just the way it is. The good thing is that the mortality rate is not 100%, but the survivors will not recognize the new world they inhabit...
Correct me if I'm wrong.
If the following is true, I say we liquidate them and make a vaccine.

http://www.cnn.com/2014/09/25/health/ebola-fatu-family/
Since there is neither a cure nor a vaccine, you are quite correct. The only thing we have going for us here is closed sewers and lots of funeral homes, and no shortage of natgas to burn the corpses of the dead. If we can leverage all that, we'll be fine. If not then we were all along too stupid to live.
Will there be ‘spirit songs’ in the FEMA camps?

You’re in the wrong hall. Pinterest is that way ->
It is a sad time to realize that we cannot believe any source.
Reminds me when AIDs was in the news daily decades ago. Panic was in the air.
We will find out the hard way with this disease and time. It is either airborne or not, easily transmitted or not.
The one aspect of this disease which was reported and which make the 'do not worry' claims ring untrue is the number of health care workers infected and no longer alive.
In any case, I am not going to change my life style. We have to keep on going. If we get it, we get it.
Life is never guaranteed.

No. We can't. Profits it is.

"Slow" maybe in the 4th derivative. Otherwise, not so much.
blu,
you obviously didn't read/understand the first sentence, and then misread the second.
Let me explain.
The first sentence is from a biology report about life forms in petri dishes, when you introduce a life form into a sterile, vacant, nutrient rich environment the life form will grow exponentially, once either the toxic waste from the life or the nutirents run dry the life form will not grow exponentially.
All lifeforms have shown so far an 'S' shaped curve (as observed, I am willing to change my stance given sound observation, that is science)
Ebola (like all organisms) will slow its growth rate when it runs out of infectable hosts (this is inevitable), if we were competing organsisms in a petri dish then we must await our fate (either the ebola gets us, we run out of nutrients or we are poisoned by our own waste).
We are human, we make our own fate by making concious decisions.
2nd sentence
'Good basic hygiene amongst the general population would slow its progress in the US'
If good basic hygiene were practiced amongst the general population then all infections would be surpressed, that infection is rife would imply that Americans in general are unhygenic.
As what I just explained will fly over most peoples heads like MH171 here it is in simple terms.
You are more likely to die from Septecaemia/Salmonella/Ecoli than Ebola because you don't follow basic hygiene however when your neighbour brings Ebola in from some foreign hell hole, you are more likely to catch it because you are thick.
Does that explain it for you.
Good thing QE eneded on a high note ..... BTW - if the stock markets crashes within the next 2 or 3 months, it's all that ebola's fault I tells ya!!!!!!!!!
My takeaway from the last month of Ebola news is that the health care givers and "experts" are in full panic mode.
That speaks volumes. They really don't know what to do with this thing and they're getting scared shitless. It's bad enough as it is, but it's also a moving target that is mutating. Claiming it's "Not airborne" means not airborne yet.
This Ebola "only" kills 50% ofvictims but the ease of transmissability in this strain more than makes up for that.
Every expert and politician I see on TV has that "deer in the headlights" look. Not promising.
The current generation of media spinners and politicians are posers, and have not once faced a serious existential crisis requiring leadership. They've been able to lie and obfuscate themselves around petty human-made "crises" into a nice lifestyle of free-flowing money and no responsibility for anything. And they are digging it.
And then comes Mother Nature and bitch-slaps them upside the head.
See, Mother Nature don't give a shit about their baby-man expectations. She's here to kick some ass. So, now these guys are getting their asses kicked and they don't like it. It's not fair, what about every kid wins a prize? What happened to that?
Sucks to be the stupid cunt sweating bullets at the podium when the Q&A sessions just changed to what you gonna do about Mother Nature, sir?
I hope they all go home and shoot themselves in the fucking head.
That's some tight rage right there.
We're still fucked, always were.
Love is the plan, the plan is death. But you know this kitty cat, don't you?
Death is just part of life, you know. Nobody gets out alive, and nobody who loves life should want to.
Our twisted fascination with zombies, vampires, wealth accumulation and other undead themes is symptomatic that we are males but not men, that we are females but not women. That we remain children who don't understand that growing up always meant giving birth to our replacements. And then getting out of the way of the next generation.
In that regard (if not others) I like being an animal. My world is very simple: breathe the sweet air, drink the sweet water, eat the sweet flesh.
In my world death is the plan. Death always was the plan. Become death or wait for it to become you, either way death is and was the plan.
Tell death I said Hi, when you see her.
James Tiptree Jr. Old school. Woman who published as a man. Sci Fi writer. Had to watch her husband die. Wrote this story.
Worth your time if you have not read it. Every bit as classic as Asimov, Bradbury, or Harlan Ellison (I loved him, this story kicks his ass too).
Love is the plan, the plan is death. If you dont' like the art there, there are so many copies of this story on the web. For you. I mean it.

That's a damn good rant there, cougar. +100

Could it be that's the reason for the big ammo stockpile? Nah. Too fortuitous for us little people.
I was nervous about this Ebola shit until Mike Snyder published this article. Then I realized I was just being silly. Carry on.
I think they are mostly in CYA mode at the moment. For example, having to explain how a hospital worker didn't know that "Liberia" was a country in Africa, when the most important medical emergeny in 3 generations is happening there in real-time.
I bet the whole staff including the groundskeeper got a hard sit-down schooling in geography today, the thick-skulled inbred fuck-tards.
TSTL: too stupid to live.
I suspect when you do get to the hospital there will not be many healthcare workers.
That's debatable even now.
What do you think an ER is going to look like when Flu season hits America? Who you gonna test for Ebola? The initial symptoms are identical! Is every ER worker gonna be dressed in Hazmat suits? If not, how many 'sets' of ER workers will they go through each time a suspected Ebola patient walks in if we have to isolate them for 21 days?
High profile incidents covered by the media often reassures the public that the government stands ready to rush to our aid in case of a national disaster. Following a tornado or hurricane in the newscast we see FEMA workers spread-out and moving from door to door offering help to Americans in need.
Be prepared that in the case of a major crisis or disaster the government will prove largely ineffective. If and when a really large Armageddon event does occur we will quickly become acutely aware that God helps those who help themselves. More on this subject in the article below.

Answer: They won't even think about it.
We've wasted every advantage we had as Americans in service to the globalist agenda. Even geographic distance from the worst shitholes on the planet no longer works in our favor. Frieden said that not allowing West Africans to leave Africa would paradoxically make the situation worse for Americans. He's a liar, and the paradox is that the Federal agency entrusted with preventing disease in America, is enabling and promoting the spread of a preventable foreign virus.
If the stock markets dips a few percent, will the Fed need to start QEbola?
AIDS will be airborne before ebola is

Ahem.....

ebola was developed at dod and purposefully spread in africa....it is yet another attack by the ziocons to wipe out human populations.
Sometimes ZH provides the opportunity to view a mind akin to Ebola. Your soul is a bleeding putrified mass.
That was too retarded even for ZH.
CNBC will be humping Big Pharma equities this week.
President Ebola was elected and reelected by the American public so let's stop calling him an infection, OK? We asked for it, we got it, Ebola!
Yes We Can!
... Give all Americans ebola.
