Meet America's New Ebola Czar

Tyler Durden's picture




 

This should fix it and calm the panic:

  • *OBAMA SAID TO APPOINT RON KLAIN AS EBOLA CZAR, CNN TWEETS

Forget medical experience, what the USA needs to combat the worst Ebola pandemic ever is "an American lawyer and political operative best known for serving as Chief of Staff to two Vice Presidents - Al Gore (1995–1999) and Joseph Biden (2009–2011)." Gotta wonder how Tom Frieden feels about this...

 

Via Wikipedia,

Ronald A. "Ron" Klain is an American lawyer and political operative best known for serving as Chief of Staff to two Vice Presidents - Al Gore (1995–1999) and Joseph Biden (2009–2011). He is an influential Democratic Party insider. Earlier in his career, he was a law clerk for Supreme Court Justice Byron White during the Court's 1987 and 1988 Terms and worked on Capitol Hill, where he was Chief Counsel to the Senate Judiciary Committee during the Clarence Thomas Supreme Court nomination. He was portrayed by Kevin Spacey in the HBO film Recount depicting the tumult of the 2000 presidential election.

Early life
Klain was born on August 8, 1961 in Indianapolis and grew up in a Jewish home. He graduated from North Central High School[4] in 1979 and was on the school's Brain Game team, which finished as season runner-up.[citation needed] He graduated summa cum laude from Georgetown University in 1983. In 1987, he graduated magna cum laude from Harvard Law School,[4] where he won the Sears Prize for the highest grade point average in 1984-85 and was an editor of the Harvard Law Review.

Career

Capitol Hill career
Klain's early experience on Capitol Hill included serving as Legislative Director for U.S. Representative Ed Markey. From 1989 to 1992, he served as Chief Counsel to the U.S. Senate Committee on the Judiciary, overseeing the legal staff's work on matters of constitutional law, criminal law, antitrust law, and Supreme Court nominations. In 1995, Senator Tom Daschle appointed him the Staff Director of the Senate Democratic Leadership Committee.

Clinton administration
Klain joined the Clinton-Gore campaign in 1992. He ultimately was involved in both of Bill Clinton's campaigns, oversaw Clinton's judicial nominations, and was General Counsel to Al Gore's recount committee in the 2000 election aftermath. Some published reports have given him credit for Clinton's "100,000 cops" proposal during the 1992 campaign; at a minimum, he worked closely with Clinton aide Bruce Reed in formulating it. In the White House, he was Associate Counsel to the President, directing judicial selection efforts, and led the team that won confirmation of Supreme Court Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Klain left the judicial selection role in 1994 to become Chief of Staff and Counselor to Attorney General Janet Reno. In 1995, he became Assistant to the President, and Chief of Staff and Counselor to Al Gore.

Gore campaign
During Klain's tenure as Gore's Chief of Staff, Gore consolidated his position as the likely Democratic nominee in 2000. Still, Klain was seen as too loyal to Clinton by some longtime Gore advisors. Feuding broke out between Clinton and Gore loyalists in the White House in 1999, and Klain was ousted by Gore campaign chairman Tony Coelho in August of that year. In October 1999, he joined the Washington, D.C. office of the law firm of O'Melveny & Myers. A year later, Klain returned to the Gore campaign, once Coelho was replaced by William M. Daley. Daley hired Klain for a senior position in the Gore campaign and then named him General Counsel of Gore's Recount Committee.

Legal career
In 1994, Time named Klain one of the "50 most promising leaders in America" under the age of 40. In 1999, Washingtonian magazine named him the top lawyer in Washington under the age of 40, and the American Bar Association’s Barrister magazine named him one of the top 20 young lawyers nationwide. The National Law Journal named him one of its Lawyers of the Year for 2000.

Lobbying
Klain helped Fannie Mae overcome "regulatory issues".

2004-2008
During the 2004 Presidential campaign, Klain worked as an adviser to Wesley Clark in the early primaries. Later, during the General Election, Klain was heavily involved behind the scenes in John Kerry's campaign and is widely credited for his role in preparing Senator Kerry for a strong performance in the debates against President George W. Bush, which gave Kerry a significant boost in the polls.[6] He then acted as an informal adviser to Evan Bayh, who is from Klain's home state of Indiana. Klain has also commented on matters of law and policy on televised programs such as the Today Show, Good Morning America, Nightline, Capital Report, NewsHour with Jim Lehrer, and Crossfire.

In 2005, Klain left his partnership at O'Melveny & Myers to serve as Executive Vice President and General Counsel of a new investment firm, Revolution LLC, launched by AOL co-founder Steve Case.

Obama administration
On November 12, 2008, Roll Call announced that Klain had been chosen to serve as Chief of Staff to Vice President Joe Biden, the same role he served for Gore. Klain had worked with Biden previously, having served as counsel to the United States Senate Committee on the Judiciary while Biden chaired that committee and assisted Biden's speechwriting team during the 1988 presidential campaign.

Klain was mentioned as a possible replacement for White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, but opted to leave the White House for a position in the private sector in January 2011.

Klain apparently signed off on President Obama's support of a $535 million loan guarantee for now-defunct solar-panel company Solyndra. Despite concerns about whether the company was viable, Klain approved an Obama visit, stating, "The reality is that if POTUS visited 10 such places over the next 10 months, probably a few will be belly-up by election day 2012."

@ Divided States: 

And this is precisely why "antisemitism" is on the rise all over Europe. It's also why Jews have been kicked-out, and hunted-down in almost every country they've ever been in.

When the financial power moves east the tribe will be left living with a bunch of people they cannot blend in with and people they fucked over.  My guess is they will be hunted down and killed like animals after this next crash.  A few billion Muslims want them dead, a few million Europeans and Americans, Chinese hate their ass, Russia changed, can’t hide there anymore, I see payback coming.

I personally have had a sort of denial about this, but I am a co-chairperson of a committee for a public real estate transaction in NYC (and I'm not saying what deal it is) and this issue keeps coming up.

Bottom line, though, is the deal is totally shaped by the politicians and they are the enablers, and ultimate benefactors, of the transaction.

I worked as technical advisor to a VC firm and it lead to my personal awakening. The tribe combined to rip off the goyim at every turn. Think Zuckerberg being supported by Summers, then going to court over IP rights and getting a judge from the Tribe to adjudicate, non-trbal entrepreneurs mysteriously being refused funding and forced to sell out at knock-down prices to one of the tribe.  Same at UI Champaign. Back scratching, confidential information sharing, favorable peer reviews, you name it. I've seen it all and it was - and remains - a total fucking disgrace.

two things prevent change:

Jews control, directly, and indirectly, the news and entertainment media.  Going to points made aout, loosely speaking, 'nepotisim' - consider that Hollywood has been maintained as largely Jewish for decades and not a chirp about 'diversity'.  In some quarters its virtually a Jewish closed shop.  It's too bad David Duke wrote it [I abhor any kind of racial supremacism, Jewish or "white"] butt he link above re the Ivy League is well argued.  One side is a cohesive group with a religion founded on hyperethnocentrism and xenophobia, and the other side isn't a "side" at all...  indeed, to even suggest that native British have a right to limit immigration and remain a majority is met with logically absurd claims that this is 'racist.'  But blame people for being too timid to challenge inanities.

 

The other thing is that so many of the people [some of whom may be "plants" on blogs an such - the ADL has certainly faked incidences of 'anti-Semitism' - Leo Frank was not lynched for being a Jew but for having escaped justice for murdering a little girl] who talk about "The Jews" are just basically racists, attributing to an entire group negative qualities apart from action or belief, and some talk about violence.  Talking about "Jewish privilege" is legit and indeed repetitive use of that phrase, mirroring 'white privilege' {often discussed by Jewish Leftists, as it happens} would arguably gain some traction in putting some focus on, e.g., wildly disproportionate appointments at the Fed, Treasury, and other agencies.  But blanket, generalizing statements are both untrue and counter-productive.

 

Having posted about Israel and the disproportionate Jewish appointments in the past, it's blatantly obvious to me that at every turn, someone will claim it is "anti-Semitic" to, for example, protest excessive force and possible war crimes by Israel... by the very people who are unremitting critics of Arab and Muslim governments, and who merely seem to exist in a world of ethical double standards - one set of rules to judge Jewish actions, and one set for everyone else.

 

But nothing will change until Jewish direct and indirect media power is lessened, and until more intelligent and non-racialist voices are brave enough to soberly discuss both the power of "Zionism" on government and society, and the disproportionate power and influence of a small minority - to the exclusion of the rest of us.  I don't see it happening any time soon, and enough of the discussion that does exist is actually the sort of naked anti-Jewish racism/hate that allows all other criticism to be lumped together with it and dismissed and precluded.

Long time ago, Satan whispered the secret to achieve riches beyond measure and how to own the whole world and whats in it.

What he didn't tell was, it will still be not enough to fill the hole in the soul they will get in exchange.

He also didn't say what he will get out of the deal i.e. Satan's boot print on the face of the humanity.

Before Satan destroys someone, he gets them disgraced thoroughly.

Before I was cured of the red/blue team nonsense I used to align myself with so called GOP conservatives. Out of habit I still check out what they're thinking. They bash the phenomenon of "political correctness" day in and day. Below they connect every single dot with this Klain (liberal, democrat, lawyer, hack, etc.) except one. From just a statistical standpoint is is utterly absurd. Ya gotta hand it to the tribe because they get away with this shit all the time, while everybody points fingers at each other about racism. It is fucking crazy.

I wonder how many people the Obummer administration contacted before getting someone to accept the meaningless job function of "Ebola Czar."  Klain was a top Harvard Law School graduate who for over 20 years has been a political hack, mainly working for the corrupt Clinton White House.  In American national politics, if you need a brain surgeon, you hire a lawyer instead.  Look around you, look at what lawyers have done to America.  NIH's Anthony Fauci should have been appointed czar but he undoubtedly turned down the offer, not wanting to tarnish his reputation by working directly for sleazoid politicians like Biden and Obama.

Kline, and probably Klein, and Klink/Klinck/Clinck are just different spellings of the same northern European surname.

Often when the eastern European Jews migrated, they changed their last names to blend in better. Who knows what Klain's ancestor's name was in the 19th century? Perhaps Klem Kaddidelhopperowitz or its Russian equivalent?

The Klink family immigrated to New York in about 1740 from Wuerttemberg, Germany. I don't know their ancestry before that. I do know that they were Christian at that time, I think Protestant which may have had something to do with their emigration from southwestern Germany. They fought on both sides during the Revolution.

Perhaps the colonel decided it was better to be a gentile if he didn't want to be on the other side of the fence? Even Hitler was concerned that someone might connect him to his Jewish grandfather.

Today is October 17, 2056.  And today, Ebola Czar Klain retired after putting up a valiant fight to rid the world of this heinous virus.  After 42 years of sometimes radical yiddish pursuit of the deadly virus, Klain said, "Oy veh - we had a pretty good run.  Maybe someday someone will come up with a cure."  The world collectively sighs at the loss of such a special and talented soldier for the people.

I had one of those hurt face expressions when I heard that. So one flies on a plane, and the other jumps on a cruise ship. Now, the plane ride was going to her family. I can at least process that. Process, not justify.

To get on a cruise ship after caring for an Ebola patient sounds like a false narrative as a "reason" for the virus to spread to other areas.

It's like.....Amazing Race meets Planes, Trains, and Automobiles.

So, if the whole Ebola-in-the-U.S. thing were legit, why not just stop air travel from the affected African countries and secure the borders?

Instead, the Obama Administration chooses to create new beaurocracy in the form of an Ebola czar and to send military troops to Africa. Why? It's a power grab. I guarantee the Ebola czar will have broad powers, including the power to lock down entire U.S. cities in a defacto state of martial law. And the U.S. troops were sent to Africa to grab the mineral and oil wealth. Surprise, surprise.

You mean exploit the mess. Since government incompetence is a given (as gov. is nothing but the most organized form of crime), it provides them with ample opportunites to use it as a whipping boy for CHANGE. "Give us more money, more power, more control, and we can fix this! (oh, and it's the other party's fault)"

Sure the puppets have to eat crow in the media from time to time, but that's just the price they pay to participate in The Grand Facade. All to create the mindset of a political mandate amongst the sheeple. Even people who don't support the system at all fall victim to this, as evidenced by this thread. Few here support increasing government power, yet this thread is filled with the "Why doesn't Obama secure the borders and shut down flights?" which is nothing but a call for greater government control.

So, why do they always do things too late/not at all? Because they want everyone to demand that they 'DO SOMETHING!"

Until this is understood by all, they will keep up the torture, until we scream "Uncle!" begging for relief.

This is the nature of a politician. PERCEIVED action, not REAL action. If problems are being solved, wouldn't that mean that the politician becomes obsolete? There must be a constant cycle of problems identified, problems they're working on, problems they've solved, groups to direct your hatred towards. Of course most of the time the problems identified are the unintended (most likely intended) consequences of their previous solutions, therfore requiring MORE solutions. Anyone see the pattern?
