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."

are you sure?

"The term czar was used to designate the Russian, Bulgarian or Serbian monarchs of pre-World War I Europe."

 

Looks like Wilson was the first to appoint a 'czar' in the US:

"During the latter stages of World War I, President Woodrow Wilson appointed financier Bernard Baruch to run the War Industries Board. This position was sometimes dubbed the "industry czar""

Um, not too sure about the second part.  Don't forget they ruled the USSR for much of the time and after its collapse made off with the loot, beggaring the country. But still several of Putin's henchmen are of the tribe.  They have this uncanny ability to bob to the surface like a cork in water.

Exponentially bad, exponentially fast.

He's a lawyer, what does he know about infectious diseases?

 

What he does know is how to word the legal jargon that allows for detention of citizens and how to shift blame to someone else.

 

Am I the only one that thinks an Ebola czar should be a microbiologist or virologist?

 

It's like appointing a McDonald's manager as an 'education' czar. Or a undertaker as secretary of health.

Few scientist want to make decisions at the front of social impact. Scientist often want to work on long term solutions or tools for those that are at the front of social decisions. The scientists that desire to make decisions of compromise and mitigation end up as lawyers and politicians. It appeared to me that yesterday congress gave Tom Freiden the chance to be the politician of this issue and he did not take the bait. This is likely to be a thankless job.

http://www.politicalears.com/blog/shock-claim-from-ghana-ebola-is-not-real

The Red Cross has brought a disease to 4 specific countries for 4 specific reasons and it is only contracted by those who receive treatments and injections from the Red Cross. That is why Liberians and Nigerians have begun kicking the Red Cross out of their countries and reporting in the news the truth.

Not sure what to think about that, but the author has a point saying that ebola IS THE REASON to bring the US troops into Africa.

If you’re going to run the country and you’re threatened with Ebola you can’t trust anybody to do what the leaders say unless he is Jewish. Because if you pick somebody else he may try to do something good for the people and not for the rulers.

This guy has two qualifications for his position: 1) he is political and will know how to lie, and 2) he will do exactly what his masters tell him. In the meantime, as Ebola Czar, he will divert some of the growing criticisms away from Obama before the election.

Eventually, U.S. military generals will have to be Jewish because they are liable to go out on their own and try to be truthful, while putting the country first.

The problem with the United States government is its collective Jewish leadership.

During Klain’s stint as a lawyer in the Washington office of O'Melveny & Myers LLP, according to the Washington Post, “the firm was paid nearly $700,000 for lobbying projects undertaken by Klain with others at the firm.

“The clients included ImClone Systems Inc., Fannie Mae and the Coalition for Asbestos Resolution, which was identified by the nonpartisan government watchdog group Public Citizen as a ‘front group for GAF Materials Corporation, a roofing company facing huge liabilities related to asbestos-exposure lawsuits.’ Klain left the law firm in 2005.”

Barack Hussien Obama is an Islamist Terorrist whos objective is the distruction of America. His choosen weapons: arming Mexican Cartels; destruction of the economy; removal of free speach; intimitation; open borders; supporting Islamic terrorist; and now the plague.

The Ebola Czar. Not a medical doctor like C. Everett Kopp, MD, who lead the country during the Aids epedemic. Not even a public health administrator who understand epidemiology, quarantine, and program implementation. No America, Obama appoints a poltical hack.

And, where does this poltical jerk get the authority to direct this effort. There are laws that give persons and agencies authorities such as quarantine. Last I checked, "The Ebola Czar" was not in the loop.

Professional funneller of government funds (and probably beer).  .gov sees ebola as an unlimited source of funding because of the scare factor.  Remember when the hurricane relief funds were going to people manning the phones instead of people that actually needing the funds.  Look for a few new Solyndra type companies that "specialize" in ebola care.

Choosing a political hack lawyer makes it clear that Obama and his regime is not concerned AT ALL about ebola in the USA.  This man was chosen to manage the political optics of their agenda and do legal CYA so that the Obama regime can skirt the law and their constitutional authority.  This is another power grab.

It's time to move past assigning incompetence, and realize this is a very sick creep acting out of malice.  In 6 short years we have seen the destruction of nearly every institution, and the politicization of everything.  This is the final divide and conquer gambit.

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.


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.

So let me get this straight.  This young Jewish lawyer went from graduating in 1987 to become Chief Counsel to the US Senate Committee on the Judiciary by 1989 (1989!!!).  And as Chief Counsel had a major role in Supreme Court nominations.  And one wonders how this all happened so quickly in this young man's life....and why our Supreme Court is so fucked up today with Jews and incompetents.

If there is any example of the corruption of the US Government, this has to be one of the best.

I think that the Malaysian jet, the Ukraine, Syria, ISIS and Russia are all connected they were all either a means to extract wealth or resources or payback or an attempt to escalate and provoke a wider conflict in order to cover for the collapse that is happening right now.

Further I think that TPTB pulled out the stops on this and are hyping or even allowing this Ebola epidemic to take wing.

I think the thing to understand is human life is human life be it US or other country however; TPTB hold human life in contempt " princess obols" I'm pretty good at killing people"one dead person a tragedy one million a statistic and in their opinion a great start.

If I may ask why should a European want to kill an American or Russian, or a Australian want kill a Colombian ? In my travels I've met and come to know many people from any different cultures, none of us are different. Sure different cultures and beliefs but all basically the same.

But not those who seek to reign over others, they are blood thirsty parasites that will do WHATEVER it takes to maintain their power.

This is all to stupid to be this stupid it is a deliberate act meant to achieve a certain outcome.

Don't give up your rights, do not fear, do not surrender. Hell call your congress critter every ten minutes and demand impeachment for the princess if nothing else ( and I don't believe that congress will do anything other than political theater) at least you'll give one of their office Staff a migraine.
