For a nominal fee Apple would put an ephone in every hazmat. Goldman would be happy to arrange financing.

Now that's change you can believe in.

So I want to know - why the fuck no one is talking about how both the US and Russia have had instances of Ebola infections in labs off and on since the virus first showed its potential in the 70's.

Now let's talk about who has the most to gain/lose financially (sanctions........retaliation from sactions.....) from an intentional outbreak. I know, I know, it has to be TPTB trying to take over with vaccines (because Jenny McCarthy said so) - but lets imagine for a moment it is a little simpler than that. Who would bet against who if there was a scary virus outbreak? (Hint: Temperatures, reliance on trade/travel)

Body bags means the pathogen is still alive near as I can tell. I would imagine there is a Standard Operating Procedure for dealing with an outbreak of this magnitude and type though.

On the other thread, regarding the Dallas Commissioners calling an emergency tomorrow, some guys threw out the idea that several more people may have been found to be positive down there in the big D. If true, it would make sense that a lot of government preparedness be put in place for the expected huge backlash that is certain to occur.  All the more so is any of the infected turn out to be school age children.

There were 5 school age children exposed via the Duncan route.
The five kids went to four different schools in the DFW area (sounds like bussing kids all over town has yet another unintended flaw) just prior to thier being whisked off to quarantine in some gated community (probably in a bank owned foreclosure, which is a novel use).
If they are now positive or have contracted a severe case of dead, I would expect that the collective and simultaneous shitting of Dallas parents will be heard around the country, although unless those children are fucking, tossing each other's salads and swapping gallons of piss, shit and spit I think they should be ok, per CDCs guidence. It's been a while since I've been in a public school and things have changed, so I really can't say.

Talk about the old "for the chilrins" turned right back on .gov!

Keep them home today, just in case. At the very least, that's one less day of Kommon Kore High Intensity Indoctrination, so it's a win-win.

About Duncan's GF and her family, if none of them develop Ebola from their contact with Duncan in that apartment, they must have received some type of medical treatment as a preventative. Perhaps they were put on anti-viral meds or had convalescent serum given to them from an African survivor donor, prior to the onset of symptoms. Otherwise, one of them should have been infected with the virus.

I am afraid the concept of "they" in this context has been rendered totally meaningless.

What is now explicitly clear is there is no "they" and evidently there has never been any "they" to come to the rescue. 

Eventually it will be up to the mob to take corrective action and the real "they" have been assiduously preparing themselves for that eventuality.

There are hazmat suits and "they" have them.

This is a New World Obola wet dream.

Flame throwers don't work. They would toast the outside but leave the inside raw and still plague-infested. You can test this in your back yard. Put an uncooked turkey on the ground, pour some gasoline on it (have a hose and fire extinguisher ready) and try to burn the turkey. It's amazing how much fuel it takes to burn a body. All of the water needs to boil off before it can really do much, and the body is mostly water.

The proper way would be to put the bodies in bags and throw them in an incinerator.

There are many Muslims in Africa.  As camel faring desert people, dead Muslims are to be thrown off of a nuclear powered aircraft carrier in the middle of the ocean.  It is an ancient Islamic tradition, according to the US Government.  Expect a carrier group off the coast of West Africa to assist with protecting the oil fields burials at sea.

Ideally those carriers could make a side trip past Fukishima to irradiate the corpses looked after by the deck crew and corpsemen.   The radioation and MOX dusting should kill any Ebola.

The bodies could be dumped near Diego Garcia close to the Malaysian airliner bodies.

New Record: Federal Tax Revenues Top $3T for 1st Time

Inflation-adjusted federal tax revenues not only hit a record high in fiscal 2014, but marked the first time that tax revenues have ever topped $3 trillion, according to the latest Monthly Treasury Statement.

BAMMM!

 

I just paid estimated taxes for 2014 on a business I sold (going Galt). There was a brand new 3.8% Obamacare tax for this year on the capital gains on top of everything else I had to pay. It was like a fucking tax from nowhere. So Obama's surcharge to the capital gains rate has taken effect. Only the beginning.

Thank God I'm now almost completely out of the system.

Small nit:  instead of requesting N95 face masks, they should be asking for N100's.

I've diligenced the difference, and I wouldn't be comfortable operating in an infectious environment with a run-of-the-mill N95 that you see Asians wear on their way to tai chi in park.

Thu, 10/16/2014 - 00:20 | 5339728 caustixoid

It's not the filter size, it's the fit.  N95 is perfectly adequate for any virus.  The issue with any mask is that air flow takes the path of least resistance, and if there is any gap at the edge of the mask the air will go around the filtration mechanism.   N100 or 10000 might sound better, but it means there's more resistance for air to go through the filter, and therefore it will likely bypass around the sides. 

If your life is on the line, vaseline gobs around your mouth and nose, then apply the N95.

which will filter for about 30 minutes.

and make sure you shave well though, so that your stubble interferes with the seal..

but don't shave  too well, lest you provide a microscopic port-of-entry through your skin.

so.... we're fucked is what I'm saying.

While I agree with you that failures are far more likely from the fit than the filter, N95 is 95% of the particles above 0.3 micron.  5% is too much Ebola for my taste.  There are far too many health-care workers infected, people who know how to handle infectious patients.  It's starting to look like you wear a full-suit or take your chances.

Listen Boy,

These filters trap the moist air that humans exhale. The moisture in the filter condensates and drips out the bottom of the mask. If you've ever worn one for an extended period you'll know what I mean.

The airbourne nature of this virus suggests that the "BLOOD WORM" can actually travel on it's own through the filtration screens when they become saturated with moisture.

Think Zero's, think!

That's massively deflationary. Trust me, as much as TPTB want the population gone, the financiers would not like that kind of deflation at all.

Much preferred would be a slow, grinding attrition of the population, just as they approach retirement, with enough scare factor to get rid of any pesky resistance to totalitarian control.

Excellent point. I think it was Coulter pointed out that Duncan received $500,000 worth of free medical treatment.

 

His family complains about the medical care he received, even though it cost all of them $0. And now that every Liberian with a fear of Ebola has just seen Duncan get $500,000 worth of free medical treatment they could only dream of, they'll all be heading this way.

EBOLA Biological Warfare – Is India Prepared ?


It turns out that there is a vaccine against Ebola. Pentagon scientists were developing it for 30 years, and all the rights for the drug belong to the government of the United States. Two infected US medics received injections of the vaccine and they started recovering from the disease immediately. Why has this been made public only now?

Why is it that the USA holds all the rights for the use of the vaccine?

There can be two most obvious answers to these questions.As one can see, Ebola is a perfect biological weapon: it spreads quickly and gives nearly 100% mortality rate. Those having the life-saving vaccine can dictate any conditions to others.

The second answer is a purely commercial interest. It is enough to arrange panic with the help of the media, as it was the case with several epidemics before, such as avian flu. Afterwards, it will be possible to sell the life-saving medicine at any price.

However, Russian scientists doubt that the Americans created the medicine indeed. Russian scientists also conducted the research to study the nature of the virus to be able to create the vaccine against it. Soviet scientists, for example, Professor Alexander Butenko, was a member of the joint Soviet-Guinean expedition in 1982 and spent nearly a year in the rain forests of Guinea, when the then unknown virus was discovered.

Strategy of Biological Warfare

On Dec. 10, 1974, the U.S. National Security Council under Henry Kissinger completed a classified 200-page study, “National Security Study Memorandum 200Implications of Worldwide Population Growth for U.S. Security and Overseas Interests.” The study falsely claimed that population growth in the so-called Lesser Developed Countries (LDCs) was a grave threat to U.S. national security. Adopted as official policy in November 1975 by President Gerald Ford, NSSM 200 outlined a covert plan to reduce population growth in those countries through birth control, and also, implicitly, war and famine. Brent Scowcroft, who had by then replaced Kissinger as National Security Adviser (the same post Scowcroft was to hold in the Bush administration), was put in charge of implementing the plan. CIA Director George Bush was ordered to assist Scowcroft, as were the secretaries of state, treasury, defense, and agriculture.

I think that multiple explanations may fit here.  First, Ebola exists and has infected people and killed them and cases have been increasing.  The other part to this to consider is what is going on in Africa with the people there related to this article:

and this video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TP6qMY1_6dg&list=UUVEaFSr-jdTa_QE4PPSkVJw

Africans seem to have a lot of mistrust of ebola and there may be something else going on here besides what has in the past been a relatively benign virus.  Some Africans are afraid of being depopulated with genocide and their concerns are worth considering.
