Why Is the U.S. Government Dictatorial Towards Dissenters ... But Welcoming Ebola Carriers With Open Arms?

George Washington's picture




 

3 Supreme Court justices, 2 top level NSA executives, numerous Democratic and Republican Congress members and other top American officials have said that we’re basically in a police state.

Obama has prosecuted more whistleblowers than all other presidents combined.  Indeed, the Obama administration is literally treating whistleblowers as terrorists. Dissent is also treated as terrorism, and the massive spy apparatus is focused on crushing dissent.  Even trying to protect oneself from spying is treated as  extremism. And investigative journalism has been criminalized by the Obama administration.

And yet the government is allowing people from Ebola-infected countries like Liberia visit America … even after a Liberian brought Ebola to Dallas.

Why don’t we enforce a travel ban … just until the African epidemic ends?

In July, Congressman Alan Grayson called for a travel ban from Liberia and other hot zone countries, to be lifted 90 days after the last case of Ebola is reported.

Scores of African nations have enacted Ebola travel restrictions.

Kit Daniels notes:

In mid-August, Korean Air and Kenya Airways announced they were halting flights to the West African countries ravaged by Ebola, and British Airways and Air France also decided to suspend service to the Ebola hot zone a few weeks later.

 

“France is recommending that its citizens leave Sierra Leone and Liberia, two of the countries hardest hit by the worst ever outbreak of the disease,” Jessica Plautz reported for Mashable. “The government said the increasing spread of the disease prompted its request that the airline to suspend flights.”

 

Yet the Obama administration made no such request to U.S. airlines and government flights

Indeed, there’s not only open travel for people from hot zone countries, but there are limited screening procedures at airports, and doctors aren’t screening very vigorously either.

While the Centers for Diseases Control are talking as if they are confident, the reality is different:

  • As Dr. Sanjay Gupta notes, there have been lapses in safety at the Centers for Disease Control and U.S. hospitals in treating infectious diseases

American government officials are acting arrogantly - and may be putting us all at risk - in the same way that:

  • U.S. economic officials thought that the U.S. had the world's strongest financial system - and that they had figured out how to permanently stabilize the economy in a prosperous utopia  - but their models were  completely flawed, and made wildly erroneous assumptions
  • The Japanese had the reputation as being the world's most technologically sophisticated and conscientious country ... but their arrogance and attempt to underplay the dangers of nuclear power caused them to take incredibly risky actions which let Fukushima melt down

The government is much more focused on bombing yet more Arabs in yet more wars than stopping a pandemic which could turn into the modern equivalent of the Great Plague. 

But stupid government policy is more dangerous than terrorism.

Postscript:  Here's the contrary and mainstream view.

i understand there is a flight ban on West African flights to the US, but it doesn't apply to those states with other than a Democratic Party majority. (like the straggling aid to victims of Hurricane Sandy, or the NJ expressway closure, or Katrina, its political football season)

First time posting. After enjoying ZH'rs contributions during the past several years, some of them remind me of the slap-stick and droll buffoonery of the medieval court jesters,  where the entrenched  and self-centered, self-satisfied aristocrats tolerated and were amused at having the mirror held up to them for scraps of the banquet table.

Then too, it seems ZH acts very much like a pressure-release valve that is supposed to prevent a restive citizentry from exploding (revolting) .Let's hope ZH'rs dont become the National Enquirer

WHY? BECAUSE EBOLA IS NOT THE BIG THREAT THAT THEY SAY IT IS. IT IS CERTAINLY NO THREAT TO THE POWERS THAT BE AND OUR SYSTEMS THEY USE TO CONTROL.

 

THE PUBLIC REMAINS THE BIG THREAT TO THE SYSTEM. A SMALL PERCENT 5% OF DETERMINED ORGANIZED PEOPLE COULD TOPPLE THE U.S. GOVERNMENT. IF THEY WERE ORGANIZED. THE U.S. GOVENRMNET AND OLIGARCHY KNOWS THIS AND THUS SPENDS PRECIOUS TIME AND EFFORT OBTAINING THE CONSENT OF THE MAJORITY TO MURDER AND DISRUPT ORGANIZATIONAL ACTIVITY OF ANY KIND. LONE WOLF'S CAN BE SYMBOLS OF RESISTANCE TO TYRANNY BUT THE REAL THREAT IS AN ORGANIZED SET OF SMALL GROUPS ALL ACTIVITELY PURSUING THE GOAL OF OVERTHROWING WALL STREET GOVERNMENT BY THE BIG BANKS AND PRISON INDUSTRIAL LEGAL COMPLEX FOR THE BIG BANKS AND PRISON INDUSTRIAL LEGAL COMPLEX.

 

EBOLA --THE MARKETEABLE IDEA OF EBOLA----IS A USEFUL TOOL TO KEEP THE SHEEP IN LINE, AFRAID, AND DEMANDING THE AUTHORITIES TAKE CONTROL OVER THE SITUATION. THIS SAME AUTHORITY IS USED TO SQUASH DISSENT.

 

THE BIGGEST REAL THREAT FROM EBOLA IS THE INTENTIONAL SPREADING OF IT BY WAY OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. 

STATE MEDICAL FACILITIES ARE SUFFICIENTLY EQUIPPED TO ISOLATE PATIENTS AND STOP THE DISEASE FROM SPREADING. WE HAVE SOAP , RUNNING WATER, AND ANTI-BIOTICS. THERE'S NOT ALL THAT MUCH MORE YOU NEED TO STOP PLAGUE....

On average incubation is about 8-10 days, symptoms:  feversore throatmuscle pain and headaches. Typically, vomitingdiarrhea and rash follow, along with decreased function of the liver and kidneys. Around this time, affected people may begin to bleed both within the body and externally.

We may not have known what form the Black Swan would take, but we most assuredly knew it was coming.

There are too many, taking too much, from too few.
The obvious solution is to work on the "too many" problem.

Stories are starting to emerge on how this man got to Dallas and how the hospital dropped the ball and sent him home. This is why I have warned that high profile incidents covered by the media reassuring the public that the government stands ready to rush to our aid in case of a national disaster are a disservice to the public.

Following a tornado or hurricane in 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 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.

All part of the New Bolshevik agenda of spreading chaos and terror. Obama/Ebola himself has nothing to do with it. He has very little choice in anything, other than perhaps the tie and socks he chooses to wear on a given day. Everything else is chosen by the you-know-who's who run the show.

IMHO Obola and Ebola are one and the same. Ebola has been let loose on the world, real patented fact,  and will soon engulf America. Ideal conditions for the financial collapse and control over the Amewrican sheeple

The Middle East is in flames and chaos, Libya, Eqypt, Iraq, Syria, Sudan, Somalia etcc. Europe is broke  and the puppets there remain on American control. Ukraine is a really sorry story after Victoria Fcuk Nuland destroyed it. Now Obola has turned towards Hong Kong & China to create unrest. When countries are in disarray and their economies in big trouble, the financial collpase will kick in

Americans will be responsible for their country's actions around the world.

The Germans if they continue to be under American influence will go through the same just as they did after WW2.

Dallas Ebola patient had been helping a woman with ebola in Liberia travel to various hospitals to try to get treatment.

The woman later died.

He then booked travel to the USA knowing it was very likely he was infected, no doubt to get to a 1st world country where he might get treatment. 

He intentionally imported the virus to the US in an attempt to save his ass and we can expect more of the same.

When I travel to Asia, I need to get a visa ahead of time or I am not allowed into the countries.

The process involves correspondence with the various consulates and takes time.

How the hell does someone with ebola buy a ticket to the US and get on a plane within 3 days???

 

All individuals cannot be expected to self quarrantine.

The 4 kids exposed in Dallas now have 21 days off from school. 

Will they remain in the same room for all of that time or will they go out in public at some point?

Everyone makes mistakes, called incorrect decisions.  That's human nature.  Making decisions long term by flipping a coin will give you 50% chance of right or wrong decision.

Now, I know of only one person that makes 100% wrong decisions, so it has to be on purpose.

Why?

 

Because  Zio-USSA is inimicable to the old USA - and wants DONE with it.

Ebola can be used a catch-all for general population quarantining - and from there FEMA-Camping dissenters... for further "processing".

Health imperialism = health tyranny abroad... let me count the ways:

- 100s of millions put by US into Africa to treat HIV... but only after paying the rentiers their share on patent royalties...

- but all philanthropic and donations, beacause of the Wolrd Health Organisation, World Bank, local corruption, Africans have no health system all mainly because Africans were not allowed to use legal rights to copy patented medicines (US taxpayer funded) , get it legal rights, the same rights the US used on Bayer to get anthrax meds after the 2nd 911

- St Judes Hospital researched and with Aussies patented a vaccine while Avian Flu was devastating Indonesia... while rich countries were stockpiling the stuff along with Rumsfeld's tamiflu... creating a pandemic when there was none...

- the head of the WTO and WHO said it is fine to eat Swine Flu pork (when the virus was known to be mutating - go figure), but neither would support African rights to access medicines...

and now we see no public option for health care in the US (the sick care system)... and we see bugs don't have to get visas before travelling... meanwhile Americans get treatment and Africans die... what could go wrong here?

Obama and Henchmen are enacting a multi-pronged attack. If you read msm with the idea that the US Gov't is still acting on our behalf, then feelings of helplessness pervade one's psyche.  Now switch the initial thought processes: US Govt Plan is unfolding on schedule, why?

Lotsa Bennies: more dead "folks" means SSA, SSI, Medicare and all the alphabet support program consumers SHRINK. This helps the national budget. If the soon-to-be-dead efolks have any wealth, the US Gov't will help themsleves to this stash of booty. Hint: think Ukrainia gold shipped out of Kiev within hours by US State Dept.

The main goal of Fed Govt is to bring ebola from its own test labs..sprung loose in the African wilds and now re-imported back to its home base make much sense given our Police State. Anyone with 2 brain cells would call for an airline embargo, except for essential well-monitored flights. The Fed Govt and CDC want TIME for ebola to spread, to induce fear, panic and mayhem. Much easier to control a decimated population base.

This TarBaby is just getting underway. Obama is a disgrace as President and knows it. This whole ebola gambit has the unmistakable stench of 9/11 about it. Click on CNN or FOX for a few seconds. Doublespeak.
