Why Is the U.S. Government Dictatorial Towards Dissenters ... But Welcoming Ebola Carriers With Open Arms?
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:
- The CDC’s budget has been slashed
- 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.

Ebola loose ends

Exactly! This fact should answer everyones questions. This is still happening.
The nation is out of control, now.
Common sense measures fall to the desire to be nice to the afflicted Africans and the infected children coming up from the southern border.
The real danger from ebola is not that we'll see a million Americans perish from the disease (though we well might).
The real danger is that people will panic. They'll stop going to work. Soon, everything will shut down. And onlookers will be amazed that it never cranks up again.
Which means that within weeks or months almost every American will be facing death.
Soon we'll have an Army of Healthcare workers to contain a pandemic. "Keynesian dream"...or nightmare I imagine.
This isn't truth is the ultimate form of dissent but merely an interest of discovery. I remember when the Federal Government told my lawyer that I wasn't even entitled to representation. While ultimately having no lawyer would have been better even my lawyer...and the Judge...found that to be an extraordinary request.
This just the postal service.
Talk about paranoia.
"They fear everything and thus are paralyzed." Enter the Ebola.
No the U.S.A. is not out of control! The President is out of control.
"And yet the government is allowing people from Ebola-infected countries like Liberia visit America … even after a Liberian brought Ebola to Dallas."
I made exactly this point to my congressman's office yesterday, and the aid said their phone has been ringing off the hook.
The government isn't doing this. Obama is doing this, and by design. A five-year-old can see that Alan Grayson was right.
Intentionally letting great harm befall Americans is treason.
So wy don't they impeach him ?
Way past the point of impeachment now. Time for a short piece of rope and a tall tree.
So he is the Antichrist
We are entering end of days
It's obvious. This is the incompetent arrogant corrupt narcissistic illegal indonesian kenyan alien muslim sociopathic pathological liar in chief plan B to wreck the USSA.
That's a lot of adjectives
Please not to worry; any time now the vaunted, Heroic, and constitution-loving US Military will step up and say 'Enough is enough, with your evil and unconstitutional treason!"
Right? Hello? Is this thing on? Hey, two drink minimum folks!
Where's the Egyptian military when you need them?
Have the planes land in DC and take them on a tour of the White House and chambers
