Obama Mobilizes National Guard, Army Reserves To Fight Ebola

Tyler Durden's picture




 

With numerous counties and states having declared "States of Disaster" or "States of Emergency", the looming civil rights destruction of martial law domestically draws ever closer.

However, President Obama has decided that, by Executive order:

  • *OBAMA ISSUES EXECUTIVE ORDER FOR ARMED FORCES IN WEST AFRICA

  • *OBAMA TO ACTIVATE INDIVIDUAL READY RESERVE FOR EBOLA

What is The Individual Ready Reserve? (via Wikipedia)

The Individual Ready Reserve (IRR)is a category of the Ready Reserve of the Reserve Component of the Armed Forces of the United States composed of former active duty or reserve military personnel and is authorized under 10 U.S.C. ch. 1005.

 

 

For soldiers in the National Guard of the United States, its counterpart is the Inactive National Guard (ING). As of 22 June 2004, the IRR had approximately 112,000 members (does not include all service IRR populations) composed of enlisted personnel and officers, with more than 200 Military Occupational Specialties are represented, including combat arms, combat support, and combat service support.

In other words, we are sending Vets and reservists to Africa... where they are expected to do what? Shoot at viruses?

BUT they will come into contact with Ebola:

Via Bloomberg Transcript,

 
 

KIRBY: Afternoon, everybody. I'm proud to welcome into the briefing room General David Rodriguez, commander of Africa Command. He's here to give you an update on U.S. contributions to the effort against Ebola -- U.S. military contributions to the effort against Ebola in West Africa. And with that, sir, I'll turn it over to you.

 

QUESTION: Just a clarification on that, please. Will they be in contact with individuals or just specimens?

 

GENERAL DAVID M. RODRIGUEZ (USA), COMMANDER, U.S. AFRICA COMMAND: They come in contact with the individuals and they do that. And they're -- like I said, it's a -- it's a very, very high standard that these people have operated in all their lives, and this is their primary skill. This is not a -- you know, just medical guys trained to do this. This is what they do for a living.

As USA Today reports,

President Obama has issued an executive order calling up ready reserve troops to combat the Ebola crisis in Africa.

 

Obama notified Congress of his order Thursday. It reads: "I hereby determine that it is necessary to augment the active Armed Forces of the United States for the effective conduct of Operation United Assistance, which is providing support to civilian-led humanitarian assistance and consequence management support related to the Ebola virus disease outbreak in West Africa."

 

The Pentagon said it had no immediate plans to send reservists to Africa, saying that the order simply allows the military to begin utilizing reserve/guard forces in our overall response in Northern Africa.

 

It "doesn't mean that we are deploying these forces, but it gives us the option to do so if we need to," said Air FOrcer Lt. Col. Thomas Crosson, a Pentagon spokesman.

 

The White House said it didn't know exactly how many reserve troops would eventually be required.

Australia's Health Minister Peter Dutton:

"In West Africa you're seeing spread for a number of reasons which, the conditions of which just aren't present in our country.

So for example, traditional funeral rituals where bodies are doused with water and the water is then drunk by the loved ones of the deceased, the spread of Ebola in that circumstance obviously is very quick. Now we don't have those sort of threats in our country. "

EBOLA Biological Warfare

 

Horowitz (1998) was deliberate and unambiguous when he explained the threat of new diseases in his text, Emerging Viruses: AIDS and Ebola – Nature, Accident or Intentional. In his interview with Dr. Robert Strecker in Chapter 7, the discussion, in the early 1970s, made it obvious that the war was between countries that hosted the KGB and the CIA, and the ‘manufacture’ of ‘AIDS-Like Viruses’ was clearly directed at the other. In passing during the Interview, mention was made of Fort Detrick, “the Ebola Building,” and ‘a lot of problems with strange illnesses’ in “Frederick [Maryland].” By Chapter 12 in his text, he had confirmed the existence of an American Military-Medical-Industry that conducts biological weapons tests under the guise of administering vaccinations to control diseases and improve the health of “black Africans overseas.” The book is an excellent text, and all leaders plus anyone who has interest in science, health, people, and intrigue should study it. I am amazed that African leaders are making no acknowledgements or reference to these documents.

 

Bioweapon EBOLA Unleashed On Liberia Has Chinese Military Found the Cure for Ebola?

A Chinese pharmaceutical company working with Academy of Military Medical Sciences (AMMS), a PLA-affiliated research institution, claims to have developed an experimental cure for the Ebola virus.

According to Sihuan managementthe drug has been in development for five years and has been effective in animal tests conducted on mice. As of yet, there have been no clinical trials of JK-05; the company plans to test the drug out first on Chinese nationals who have contracted the disease in Africa. Tests on African nationals would require international approval.

Just when I think we couldn't possibly go beyond full retard we do. Send soldiers to fight a disease in Africa but heaven forbid they be used to defend the border.

I was counseled on my IRR requirements when I left active duty decades ago.  My reply to my Sgt Major was "If things are that bad that they need to call me up, I'll probably have already volunteered."  Are things that bad...or is Obola just trying to find a way to exterminate some pesky veterans.

Obola will be taking out his enemy the conservative U.S. military patriots with these orders. I'm also sure that he will not provide the proper equipment to attempt to do this job right.

Let's try to get into 0bola's head (scarey thot, I know.)

 

GI's volunteer to (if needed) lay down their life for their country, so in 0bola's warped mind they are "expendable"-after all that's what they signed up for, right?

 

I would flat out refuse to go-Hell no we won't go could be popular again.

The same National Guard that unloaded 12,000+ rounds of ammo on Newark, NJ in 1967?

 

About 25 people were killed, so maybe the National Guard will be about as efffective fighting Ebola??

The central banks are finding it harder to start an epidemic than a war. But its even more lucrative than war, so they will keep trying.
