Dallas Commissioners Will Declare State Of Disaster Tomorrow Over Ebola
While the message from the President is 'keep calm and avoid bodily fluids', it appears the commissioners in Dallas are slightly more concerned at the potential for Ebola to escalate:
- *DALLAS COMMISSIONERS TO DECLARE LOCAL STATE OF DISASTER TOMORROW: NBC-TV
- *DALLAS COUNTY CONSIDERS DECLARING STATE OF DISASTER FROM EBOLA
- *DALLAS DISASTER DECLARATION WOULD ACTIVATE EMERGENCY PLAN
While we are not sure where a "state of disaster" ranks relative to a "public health emergency" such as the one in Connecticut, we are certain of one thing - it will mean civil liberties will be reduced as government takes control.
BREAKING>> Emergency Dallas Commissioners Ct. Meeting Set for tomorrow at 2pm to declare Local State of Disaster
— Meredith Land (@MeredithNBC5) October 16, 2014
* * *
Welcome to the new normal American police state.
* * *
And then there's this... (as NBC Dallas reports)
Officials with Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas are apologizing for misdiagnosing the country's first Ebola patient.
In testimony that will be submitted to the House of Representives on Thursday, Dr. Daniel Varga, chief clinical officer at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas, admitted to mistakes that were made during Thomas Eric Duncan's care when he first arrived at the hospital's emergency room.
"As the first hospital in the country to both diagnose and treat a patient with Ebola, we are committed to using our experience to help other hospitals and healthcare providers protect public health against this insidious virus, Varga said in the prepared testimony.
"It’s hard for me to put into words how we felt when our patient Thomas Eric Duncan lost his struggle with Ebola on October 8. It was devastating to the nurses, doctors, and team who tried so hard to save his life," Varga said in the statement. "We keep his family in our thoughts and prayers. Unfortunately, in our initial treatment of Mr. Duncan, despite our best intentions and a highly skilled medical team, we made mistakes. We did not correctly diagnose his symptoms as those of Ebola. We are deeply sorry."
* * *
Perhaps even more concerning is that the CDC appears to have given the second nurse infected with Ebola permission to fly (despite her reporting she had an elevated temperature), as CBS reports:
CBS News Medical Correspondent Dr. John LaPook reports that Vinson called the CDC several times before boarding the plane concerned about her fever.
“This nurse, Nurse Vinson, did in fact call the CDC several times before taking that flight and said she has a temperature, a fever of 99.5, and the person at the CDC looked at a chart and because her temperature wasn’t 100.4 or higher she didn’t officially fall into the category of high risk.”
Vinson first reported a fever to the hospital on Tuesday (Oct. 14) and was isolated within 90 minutes, according to officials. She did not exhibit symptoms while on the Monday flight, according to crew members. However, the CDC says passenger notification is needed as an “extra level of safety” due to the proximity in time between the flight and the first reported symptoms.
“Those who have exposures to Ebola, she should not have traveled on a commercial airline,” said Dr. Frieden. “The CDC guidance in this setting outlines the need for controlled movement. That can include a charter plane; that can include a car; but it does not include public transport. We will from this moment forward ensure that no other individual who is being monitored for exposure undergoes travel in any way other than controlled movement.”

Do these people really know what they are dealing with?

Sparta Elementary, North Belton Middle School. Those are in Bell County, near Ft. Hood.
So its state of emergency after 3 cases. How many till martial law? 4.
Your doomed America. If the Ebola don't kill you the state machine will crush you into slavedom.
Really...wow...so glad to know this is America's problem. Hoo-rah dude. We'll make sure to shut down your borders too.
Oh, yeah. "Only in America."
3 is all they are letting us know about at this time. I expect "they" know about a few more than that.
Stop getting hysterical Mary! My state declares an emergency each time we get 6 inches of snow or a windy rain storm. It's a machination required to suck the gubmint tit for new funds.
My asshole is bleeding, I don't know if it is hemmoroids or obola... Should I be concerned?
only if you see your liver pop out of your anus
The CDC should mention this in their guidelines.
I think your oil futures and your shale-oil junk bond holdings have something to do with your condition.
The country's asshole has been bleeding since Opama has been elected!!!
FIrst consider what's been up there lately...
This IS an Onion story, isn't it...? A joke?
OTOH, with everyone searching under their beds for ISIS beheaders and terrified into government-love, begging for MOAR SECURITY!, it might be "true"...
looks like the time line is getting shorter
What the fuck is going on in this Country!
Healthcare is designed and executed to obtain Medicare, Medicaid, and insurance money - not to handle health crises.
They elected obola....twice.
It's all predictable if you understand PC logic where the prime directive is to not do or say anything that would offend people higher up on the PC moral heirarchy. If Ebola came out of Iceland there would have been a quarantine straight away and none of this would be happening.
I say we nuke texas. It's the only way to be sure.
...and still no one see the humor in that. I do.
I'll take movie quotes from Aliens for 500 Alex
I live right between Dallas and Fort Worth just inside Dallas county. I find it coincidental that there's a reported state of disaster coming tomorrow, and chinook helicopters, which I haven't heard for a while, having been flying over my apartment all night so far.
i may never see my boss again, he is in fort worth
Have they been dropping jelly donuts?
Arlington?
Close...Grand Prairie.
Just moved outta Parker Cnty. Left Texas
I live by Dallas Love. I've noticed them too. Very strange so close to the airport.
The Chinooks are for spreading the airborn ebola....
The trucks that drive around the city streets all night spraying for mosquitoes are cheaper and more effective.
Ah, so you're in Texas, south of the gnat line. That narrows it down quite a bit.
As bangalore equity trader says:
Listen! Don't give up your location. Anonymity is your best defence.
Lots of cities in lots of states have those.
Yeah, but NorthWest Texas is pseudo desert, no mosquito problems there. You ever drive from border to border on I-10? The transition is amazing, and your ass will be sore if you do it in a day.
the new normal American police state better have bullet proof suits...
Just in time for the elections... Welcome to the October Surpise, Obama Style! We be Fuqued!
Just in time for the elections... Welcome to the October Surpise, Obama Style! We be Fuqued!
By "DISASTER" you mean to pocket a few $100,000 of Fed, tax payer mooola?
yeah they got to spend it fast they can print it in a nano second
Dammit.....and open enrollment for Obolacare doesn't start till Nov. 15th! Can we make it that long ........

Big "D" lol
Isn't it about time for a long and loud group apology to the nurse who stayed in contact with the CDC before she boarded that return flight from Cleveland?
However, this is a clear object lesson that should teach us that multiple advanced degrees are no substitute for common sense.
I believe she started to spike a temperature while still in Cleveland. At that point she should have gone directly to the nearest hospital, NOT boarded a plane for Dallas.
The CDC told her not to use public transportation if she started to get feverish.
if they knew she had a temperature they should have put her in isolation. blaming her is the CDC covering their ass.
i wouldn't go as far as an apology as health care workers should be ignoring the CDC and acting on their own common sense but it shows the CDC will dump on health workers to cover their ass so one more reasson not to trust what they say.
2pm Dallas time = 4pm NYC time. Oh, how convenient! After stock market close ;)
Dallas is Central time and only 1 hour behind.
My bad, you are correct and a greenie for you for setting me straight!
It's been LONG day of bizarre news and yeah ....
Doesn't matter, the algos already know what's gonna happen.
Priceless :)
the chosen front runners are allready out in October 30th news dude
Even the Joker couldn't come up with something as classic as this. Nice pose by the police state ebola militia. I think they work for me, come to think of it. Martial law is coming to a neighborhood near you. Say cheese!
Kalki - Gore Vidal http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalki_(novel)
There has never been a non-exponential event in Ebola's short history; therefore, expect a multiple-case day before the week is out. And from that, one can extrapolate to oblivion--if it suits one's agenda--by merely putting the numbers into an Excel spreadsheet and saying: According to the facts, we're fucked by month/day! Just look at the extrapolation on this graph! You die here! Your neighbor dies here! Your town is a smoking vaporized memory here...
R.E.L.A.X. They are counting on you to panic. Look at the picture for a minute, breathe deep, listen to the sweet sounds of Santana, have a sip of wine, and tell me, do you really think this is for real? A posed pic of ebola combatants coming to save you? C'mon man!
I thought they were strippers.
woo hoo! Disaster bitchez!
These guys should do a calendar. Oh, you look so sexy in your 60's colored hazmat.
Which one is Mr. October?

If it is a hoax then your Government is going to use it to strip your Civil Liberties.
If it is true then your Government is going to use it to strip your Civil Liberties...plus...you have a good chance of death.
If your Civil Liberties are going to be stripped as a result of a hoax or as a result of the truth then your Civil Liberties are going to be stripped. It is, after all, rather tautalogical.
So what do you suggest DOING about the intention of the Government stripping you of your Civil Liberties? (Restriction to travel, Martial Law, etc...)
Before that happens then I suggest that YOU BUG OUT. NOW is the time to go completely off grid, under the radar, and get out before they crush you.
If you are an operative of the Government trying to quash the panic by planting hoax stories then you just serve the needs of those whom are against your tyranny. I will expose that.
However if you truly believe the hoax stories that COINTEL is publishing then I am letting you know that it makes no difference as to the survival strategy to follow.
The difference between you and me is that I am giving the reader a strategy for survival in EITHER MANIFESTATION whereas you are not.
Understand?
(In a sense I really hope that you are right. It will be much easier to survive after Martial Law is declared with Ebola being a hoaz compared to that if it is not a hoax.)
Maybe your best post ever TT.
Clarification TT for Tall Tom. I just noticed the previous guy, you are responding to is TT too.
Tom is spot on. I continue to have greater fear to my safety from what .gov might do reacting to Ebola than from the virus itself, but the virus is demonstrating itself to be fearsome in the early innings in the US. Everyone in the US in on a countdown clock til 2 PM Eastern tomorrow. Dont know what they are going to say, but be prepared for the announcement of more infections, and the ensuing 'bank run' on everything a prepper will need. If I living in the Dallas area, I'd be taking tomorrow off work . . .
From the US Customs Website:
Soil, Sand and Minerals
Soil-borne organisms threaten both plants and animals. If you visited a farm or ranch in a foreign country, agricultural specialists may have to examine and disinfect your shoes or clothing. Vehicles must also be cleaned of any soil. No soil or earth of any kind is allowed into the United States without a permit issued in advance by USDA Plant Protection and Quarantine Permit Unit. Pure sand, such as a small container of decorative beach sand, is usually allowed. Always check with the permit unit in advance for details.
So, if you're keeping score on what's currently allowed into the US:
The moral of this story is: the gubermit cares more about agribusiness (Monsanto, ADM, Cargill) then they do about humans.
Have a nice day.
Avoid body fluids??? Yeah like some a-hole who wipes his nose then holds onto a railing somewhere. Ebola survives for hours in the open, this is 100 times worst than AIDS.
My headline choice would be, "Dallas Commisars Will Commit Mass Suicide on LIve TV Tomorrow."
My headline choice would be, "Dallas Commisars burned at the stake on Live TV Tomorrow."
Does that mean the flow of illegals into Dallas is finally stopping? Good news!
What is the cost of illegals to the Dallas economy vs. the cost of Ebola?
we can't build a fence to stop people from outside
we can't stop air travel from West Africa to stop people from outside
but controlling the movements of everyone inside - no problem
Told ya...that's why the sell off was so prominent even into this farce of QE... Somebody knows something and told their buddies...state of emergency...ToTus gives a speech and stays home...
It is much worse than they are divulging...it's already in Europe they are just blacking it out..
Fresh direct is coming tomorrow with huge amounts of portable food...
Likely going to PA and the seclusion of similar mentality...guns ammo, food, generator check...I'm out of Manhattan by next week...by the time anyone panics your gonna be days late...
It's the real deal and it's out and already too late...exponential and on this moment they are in planes criss crossing the oceans.
You mean they're are more people with Ebola in the US and Europe than they're letting on? If so , how do you know?
Wife's been in the redline with ER friends at some NYC hospitals. Belleview is ground zero hospital and all suspected will be shuttled there due to their Tuberculosis quarantine room. Main attending, a good friend, has been deemed "the Ebola Doc" and will be the only one to handle. My wife's Minute Clinic network had a huge all hands on deck meeting today. She said her nurse friends in NYC are getting antsy. She is kissing my ass right now for basically demanding we leave NYC last year. THIS SHIT HAS LEGS. all we need are our goggles.
Hazmat suits, masks p100, fuel, small arsenal, stored food and water, outdoor survival gear and bugout box for the Hills of WV are motherfucking posted up and ready. I'm running a drill on Monday. This is the real deal.
Maybe we'll see y'all Iridium. Our plans are centered around the Cumberland Gap area of SW Virginia.
Godspeed and Godbless.
We are up by the Potomac in NE. The Paw as I call it. 15 min from the Va border. I panned you as a troll the other day. I was wrong. I apologize. Just got my hairs up with all of this. I can't sleep. Even my wife is worried. She's seen it all. That scares me. I'll keep everyone posted as she knows many in NYC and gets Ohio health alerts.
Aww, I am not a troll, just hard to understand I suspect.
And thank you :) We are all on high alert <defense>
We need to trust one another
<I know ... it's HARD >
There's just a lot of trolls now here. Free can of food for all Hedgies at the farm but you may need to man a turret.
I'll man that turret all day and any day in defense of like-minded souls.
The NYC area has a high percentage of flights from West Africa, as well as a signfiicant immigrant community from Ebola-affected countries. If your wife works at Ebola hospitial #1 in hotspot #1 in the USA, you need to GET OUT or BUG IN very soon! Have her take 2 weeks vacation when patient zero is admitted, man. Please!
She said she would get dudes who would get off if planes and take a taxi straight to her. No shit. We live in rural Ohio now. Got the fuck up out last year cuz I knew something was coming....her friends are scared. They're human. They have families. Would you go to your job knowing ultimate could bring back a level 4 badass microbe for 70K a year that NYC takes half of for el redistribuciones? Hay chengada!
Anyone else having trouble sleeping? Trying to keep up with all that is going on these days .... Gawd, I seriously need to just STEP AWAY FROM THE COMPUTER.
Everything at this point is just so SURREAL to me. I tell myself to try and remain rational and all but Good Gracious it's hard, especially when the lead story on the local news is all about Ebola and how the local EMT's are preparing for Ebola (even though there are NO confirmed cases in Virginia, they are dayum quick to point that out) and how they've changed the 911 dispatching and all.
Shit is making me CRAZY!!
/rant off/
look on the bright side, the banking mafia are going to destroy America and the only thing that can stop it is if the MIC realise in time and take them out. now the banking mafia wanted mass immigration to lower wages so they started PC as an ideology to break public resistance to mass immigration but with Ebola (imo) PC may have turned round and bit them on the ass - which (imo) increases the possible tension between the MIC faction and the banking mafia faction.
that probably doesn't help you but it helps me :)
That makes as much sense as anything else out there, so a greenie and a thank you for your response ;)
Although I don't hold much hope that the military will intervene (spoken from a veteran of the US army)
#wearetrulyfucked
nor me but i like the idea of the banking mafia maybe getting a bit paranoid and sleepless about it :)
I no longer live among millions in close proximity. I can turn off the computer and actually not worry much. Leave the cities, period.
I (we) live south of the James here in central Virginia and we already have our exit planned. We hope this house of cards stands for at least another 8 months and even better for us if it stands another 20 months. We are SHORT ... working towards retirement to rural America.
We will be okay if it falls apart tomorrow ... we would just hope it doesn't.
Good luck to you and your family, and a hat tip for rediscovering American values all but eradicated. Up in the Mountains listening to satelilite radio, snippin some wine. :)))
Up in the mountains ... a good place to be!
And snippin some wine here too :p
We are up in Canada. Out skirts of Toronto. Got my rocket stove ready. , ceramic water filter , food stores and good warm clothes. God be with us.
Godspeed and good luck to you Ocean.
Sounds like you are well prepared.
You have a kindred spirit here in Virginia, if needed ;)
I have had trouble sleeping for the last six years. Obama made every red flag within me go ballistic. To sum up the last six years, you have to ask yourself this ~ are you more afraid of having your head cut off or catching the deadly, painful Ebola? Yep, that's where Barack Insane Obola has taken this country. Time to quarantine Liberals & let Conservatives handle this disaster!
Steel, I feel your pain, kindred spirit.
I am not afraid of either option proposed ... what will be will be.
However, I do disagree regarding the blue versus red thing. The only truly liberating course of action would be to cast them both to the curb and John Q Public take control
< I know, it's a pipe dream ... but hey, we all should dream >
You're right about the red/blue team. They do have some common sense republicans, not many but a few. We need honest, American loving Patriots to stand up & stop the insanity. It's actually now life or death. In my opinion, Trey Gowdy & Ted Cruz would be a great start.
Bobby Jindal is the best the GOP has.
It appears your programming is complete.

Just got a text from a relative that lives in Waco, TX (about 90 miles South of Dallas)....the city of Belton, TX (30 minutes South of Waco) just held a press conference announcing there were 2 local school children on the flight back from Cleveland to Dallas with the sick nurse......are you ready???? the parents are sending the 2 kids to school tomorrow!!!!
Everybody down there is scared shitless
Please share this link with your relative:

Those two kids already attended school on Tuesday and Wednesday. They will be staying home for 21 days. The schools will be open for the other kids.
Thanks for posting!

Dallas County is run by Dems, so what took them so long to realize that it was a disaster zone?
Goodie! Looks like I'm shopping for body armor and a .308 hunting rifle tomorrow, right after I kick my contractor in the junk about the need to get a back-up generator installed. I'm going to be chuckling as I drive/walk past all the zombies-in-waiting. It's like they want to be put out of their misery.
:)
Take a look at what's just happened to a major Dallas hospital. The ER is shuttered. Probably a sizable chunk of the hospital staff, and their families, are now on leave for ebola quarantine. Patient number 3 just took a plane trip and possibly exposed more than 100 peeps who now also have to be watched, along with their families. Even at this early moment, the CDC is being streched for resources. I bet their phones are perpetually busy. Containment has been lost, and this virus is apparently far easier to catch than they originally thought. I'd say we are close to an "Oh shit" moment where this gets taken out of civilian hands and the military steps in. If that happens, I suspect we will get local travel restrictions, airport closures, and road blocks. In all honesty, it's probably a good idea to shut this thing down before it really gets out of hand.
Can't be too specific, but top hospital administrator tells me that anyone arriving in emergency room presenting as potentially ebola at hospitals in DFW area will be denied admittance and redirected to go to Dallas Presby, referred to by them as 'Ground Zero'. This makes sense, whatever CDC resources are brought to bear can be focused there instead of risking having numerous repeats of Presby mess at other local hospitals.
Also, major national hospital chain, in setting up their staffing to handle any ebola quarantine cases, that could pop up elsewhere across the country at any of their other hospitals, are instructing all of them to priority schedule first atop the list only those medical staff that are single without kids. Another smart (and sobering) move.
its fuckin airborne
Gonna be a fun flu season, cuz nobody with the flu ever reports to the ER!
Spiralling out of control, quickly.
How many of those single medical staff will realise this and tolerate being thrown to the wolves?
Ok, ok, you talked me into it. Sell at the top and run to the bottoms. Or we just stay in, you know, shelter in place.
Bought a used bus and going to make a fortune driving all the "undocumented democrats" back across the border after the election. They want free stuff but no the Obola, no bien.
SAITTROFLMAO
Isn't a state of disaster just a a fancy way of declaring martial law?
1000s exposed to EBOLA in USA
Guys/Gals, Anybody that crossed the security check point at the airport after the second sick nurse has shared fluids with her, through the plants of their feet, when they were required to take off their shoes while crossing security. Those carpets are WET with the perspiration of the people that crossed before you, and your socks will help NOTHING.
If if the virus lives 5 minutes or even 1 minute, anybody that crossed behind her IS infected. The people in the plane are probably at a lot lower risk of having shared fluids with the infectious nurse coming back to Dallas than the people that crossed security behind her. They urgently need to look at those cameras and identify every one of them and isolate them asap.
If I knew somebody at the CDC I would send this directly to them.
Millions of people are sharing fluids while crossing security checkpoints at airports every singly day in the USA and worldwide. That practice must be changed NOW. If you now anybody at the CDC and read this, please pass it on to them.
E-Z Ebola Transmission Vector
Warm moist foam (sponge) seat cushion or couch where Ebola virus survives for hours, on a bus, bus station, plane, airport, train, train station, cab, waiting room, hospital, doctor office, restaurant.
Coupled with patient sweating and various liquid emissions (blood, gas, bowel) into the cushion seat. Then next victim sitting in warm cushion in it and touching it and wiping it.
That specific seat is probably 'contagious' for 24 hours or more...the seat and virus kept warm and moist.
Well that's a good basic point: if she was infectious, which she was, why just follow up on the plane? Did she use the restroom at the airport? Eat there? Buy a magazine? Worse, did she use the restroom on the plane. And wow, I feel sorry for whoever sat next to her, and in front and behind.
Some of what officialdom is saying sounds kind of faith-based...like they're hoping there's no real reason to be concerned.
"Reggie, this will be such a disaster they will make me King. For life!"
well, it is obvious they want us dead, so I would not bother sending it.
Besides, if you did, it would reach an illegal immigrant employee who cannot speak/read English.
Good Try, though.
NO THEY DON"T HAVE A CLUE AND SHOULD BE FORCED TO RESIGN particularly the head of the CDC. Doctors so incompetent they don't know the basic approach to managing ebola contagious patients. MY LORD! Another case of MONDO UNIVERSE where we give out credentials to morons. The debate about "airborne" or not stupid. Prudence would dictate treat it like its airborne and coughing sneezing breathing make it airborn locally anyway duh. Waiting for passengers to show signs of the disease (fever) ignores one can be contagious before having the fever! Stupid incompetent morons thats who does healthcare in America. Politically correct to the points of complete intolerable incompetence. And not shutting down transit from the stricken countries is also stupid...too bad for those than want to flee. At best they should be quarantined from departure to landing in quarantine. England won't let dogs in the country for six months to prevent rabies. WHat's so hard about this?
Its a state of cultural disaster where no one knows how or is willing to do their job. Apparently knowing your trade or technical skill is no longer required even to be a doctor or in charge of disease control so this is what you get. Obama too busy invading Syria over pipelines to manage his government or his country being invaded by dangerous diseases. He should go too. Really the last straw.
There need to be three rooms leaving an ebola patient for decontamination just like chemical or radioactive decontamination and those working with ebola patients should probably be quarantined too until they are clear to mingle with the population. Involves sacrifice which is perhaps too much for our spoiled over class of doctors to deal with.
On the other hand is it such a bad thing for most of Texas to be wiped out? No. And perhaps Texas contagious with ebola as a first stop for illegal emigration isn't so bad either. Then we just need to build a fence around Texas. Problems solved.
Fuck you, Barry.
PORTABLE CREMATORIUMS will be big!
Managing contact with potentially contagious persons is already fairly complex...everyone on one of those planes and everyone on the supposedly "decontaminated" planes and everyone at emergency rooms where ebola victims wander in. Oh well no one in America has the skills for that. Its over folks. Stupidity, political correctness, nepotism, lack of education has finally come home to roost as a simple contagious disease reveals the Emperor has no clothes.
coup! coup!
coup coup ka choo
So she called the CDC but they did not take action? Just like in the case of the nurse in Spain? Did these 'experts' follow a long distance course on infectious diseases or something?
Can't sleep? Ebola got you feeling down? Here's some penis humor to help lighten the mood:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M79dJgMBFh4#t=59
deleted. maybe it was too harsh.
The main problem is some people are going to end up with this disease who have no known risk factors or contacts. They are just going to get ill and show up at some hospital with what they think is the flu or whatever. The hospital will treat them about like they treated Duncan on his first visit, and send them home. Then they come back in a day or two in even worse shape. Duncan's story is going to be repeated until every hospital is on red alert. Every fever or viral syndrome patient will have to be assumed to have ebola and tested while in isolation. The problem is there are not enough of those kind of isolation facilities to go around for those volumes of patients. The hospitals' challenge is going to be keeping their staff healthy and unexposed so they don't have to take quarantine leave. That's going to be a huge challenge. This virus is going to eat away at the health care staffing and capacity until there won't be effective healthcare for anyone. If you are going to get ebola, better get it early or you may not get any care. Maybe you will end up on a cot in some crowded tent or warehouse somewhere hoping your' in the 30% or so that live through it.
"Maybe you will end up on a cot in some crowded tent or warehouse somewhere hoping your' in the 30% or so that live through it."
This is the best-case scenario @ the FEMA/UN Ebola camps. If you agree to go, you and your loved ones can count on constant exposure to Ebola, degradation in medical staffing, (eventually) degradation of logistic (food, clothes, medical supplies), no way to leave. It's like becoming an experimental patient of Josef Mengele, except there will be no single person to hold accountable.
