Pentagon Approves Mandatory 21-Day Quarantine Of US Troops Returning From Ebola Missions
As President Obama explained yesterday, "it's different this time" for the military. And sure enough, while non-symptomatic civilians can come and go around the world in the hopes that they do not become symptomatic following potential contact with Ebola patients, Chuch Hagel has ordered a 21-day mandatory quarantine for all US troops returning from West Africa. The use of the 'q' word is clearly against White House protocols and so The Pentagon refers to it as "controlled monitoring" but, as AFP reports, Hagel calls it a "prudent" measure to prevent the spread of the deadly disease - which just this morning the WHO said had topped 13,000 cases worldwide.
- *HAGEL APPROVES 21-DAY ISOLATION FOR TROOPS IN EBOLA ZONES
- *HAGEL'S ORDER APPLIES TO ALL TROOPS RETURNING FROM EBOLA ZONES
- *HAGEL SAYS MILITARY FAMILIES 'WANTED A SAFETY VALVE' ON EBOLA
Pentagon chief Chuck Hagel on Wednesday ordered a 21-day quarantine for all US troops returning from West Africa, calling it a "prudent" measure to prevent the spread of the Ebola virus.
The move means the military is adopting much stricter measures than those in place for civilian health workers sent by the US government to Liberia and Senegal, and the order came amid a debate about how to treat Americans who may have come in contact with those suffering from the deadly disease.
"The secretary believes these initial steps are prudent, given the large number of military personnel transiting from their home base and West Africa, and the unique logistical demands and impact this deployment has on the force," his spokesman Rear Admiral John Kirby said in a statement.
The quarantine was being introduced even though officials say the soldiers will be focused on building medical clinics and will have no contact with those infected with the virus.
But Hagel said the decision was taken partly because military families urged the quarantine.
"This is also a policy that was discussed in great detail by the communities, by the families of our military men and women, and they very much wanted a safety valve on this," Hagel said at an event in the US capital, the "Washington Ideas Forum."
This morning, Secretary Hagel signed an order that validated a recommendation from the Joint Chiefs of Staff to place all U.S. military service members returning from Ebola response efforts in West Africa into a 21-day controlled monitoring regimen. This order will apply to all military services that are contributing personnel to the fight against Ebola at its source.
The secretary has also directed that the Joint Chiefs develop, for his review within 15 days, a detailed implementation plan for how this controlled monitoring will be applied across the force that takes into account the size and scope of the logistics required for this effort.
In addition, the secretary directed that the Joint Chiefs conduct a review of this new regimen within 45 days from now. This review will offer a recommendation on whether or not such controlled monitoring should continue based on what we learn and observe from the initial waves of personnel returning from Operation United Assistance.
The secretary believes these initial steps are prudent given the large number of military personnel transiting from their home base and West Africa and the unique logistical demands and impact this deployment has on the force. The secretary's highest priority is the safety and security of our men and women in uniform and their families.

And of course there is this...
Medical experts have sharply criticized recent strict quarantine orders adopted in New York and New Jersey as based on politics rather than science.
President Barack Obama on Tuesday urged Americans to respond to the virus with "facts" rather than "fear."

And in an attempt to lightne the mood, The Onion explains an Ebola vaccine is maybe 50 white people away...
CONAKRY, GUINEA - With the death toll in West Africa continuing to rise amid a new outbreak of the Ebola virus, leading medical experts announced Wednesday that a vaccine for the deadly disease is still at least 50 white people from being developed.
“While all measures are being taken to contain the spread of the contagion, an effective, safe, and reliable Ebola inoculation unfortunately remains roughly 50 to 60 white people away, if not more,” said Tulane University pathologist Gregory Wensmann, adding that while progress has been made over the course of the last two or three white people, a potential Ebola vaccination is still many more white people off.
“We are confident, however, that with each passing white person, we’re moving closer to an eventual antigenic that will prevent and possibly even eradicate the disease.”
Wensmann said he remained optimistic that the vaccine would not take considerably longer than his prediction, as waiting more than 50 white people for an effective preventative measure was something the world would simply not allow.

I wonder if any of these particular troops have dissenting opinions about the direction of the country?...
Okay, someone else take this hat now...
Similarly, the CDCs new guidelines state that anyone who has been in the same room as someone who is suspected of having ebola and/or ever had a dissenting view of FEDGOV can be quarantined.
Austrailer ...............has the right idea
gee, 21 day quarantine after being in a hot zone....hmmmmm....where the fuck have I heard that before? Oh yeah...pretty much ever since this bullshit came out over the summer.
But let's see here; doctors and nurses are allowed to come back and run around the country doing anything they fucking want, using the trains, cabs, going bowling, and some even get let out of quarantine early if they write a bitchy little story online crying about it and only getting to eat a granola bar after a few whole hours of being detained.
And hey, while we're at it, let's keep letting anyone from Africa who's puking blood all over airplanes, apartments, the streets, and other people to fly into America anytime they want. Who gives a fuck if they infect hunreds of people on a jet or in the airport (if they don't die of the fucking jet first).
And don't bother closing our borders either...fuck it...can't have a government sponsored bio-crisis if we close the borders and block flights into the country now, can we???
But we'll send inexperienced National Gaurd troops with inadequate training and inadequate protective gear to a fucking hot zone and risk getting them killed for what reason is it again??? Anybody???
Yeah, this government can fuck right off and so can el presidente Obola. Treasonous piece of shit that he is...
"Mother should I trust the government...?" - PinkFloyd,1979
ofc, the military just want to make sure their troops dont succumb so they are able to herd the rest of you into your bought n paid for FEMA holiday camps when the time comes...
I think The Onion almost nailed it. It should be:
The Vaccine and eradication of ebola is 50-60 stinking rich white people away.
"Mother do you think they'll try to break my balls?"
From the article: 'a "prudent" measure'
Something this assanine administration knows nothing about..
There seems to be two responses to how this epidemic in being handled. One is from people who look at the science and potential consequences and are prudently cautious and the others seem focused only on the optics and are locked into political dogma (boarders must be open etc). Either that or there is a group that influences decision makers and want this to happen. (Look up Dr. Eric R. Pianka and the FBI investigation into his UT speech. "... I watched in amazement as a few hundred members of the Texas Academy of Science rose to their feet and gave a standing ovation to a speech that enthusiastically advocated the elimination of 90 percent of Earth's population by airborne Ebola. The speech was given by Dr. Eric R. Pianka (Fig. 1), the University of Texas evolutionary ecologist and lizard expert who the Academy named the 2006 Distinguished Texas Scientist.")
WTF. No one can be this dumb.
From the New York Post. "Ebola doctor 'Lied' about NYC travels"
http://nypost.com/2014/10/29/ebola-doctor-lied-about-his-nyc-travels-police/
Dr. Craig Spencer at first told officials that he isolated himself in his Harlem apartment — and didn’t admit he rode the subways, dined out and went bowling until cops looked at his MetroCard the sources said.
"...Texas Scientist"
Almost antithetical terms...huh? When has anything "good" ever come out the the alcoholic, lowest-common denominator-following robot state of Tex-ass? I would add "Nazi"...but Texas' IQ level is far to low to be "Nazi"...
Yes, the end of the world will come from Bible-thumping, incestuous, morons wearing bowling shirts with name-tags like "Clunk"....

America's staunch allies help. Italy quarantines US Troops transiting from West Africa back to the US
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/ebola/11191192/American-soldie...
note this little detail
So.....let me get this straight.
Whiny "Doctors Without Borders" chick who swapped spit and semen with her Ebola laced boyfriend doctor gets a pass......because....you know......Ebola isn't that easy to catch.
BUTtttt.........troops coming in from the Hot Zone HAVE to be quaranteened because the science says that if you are in the military it's WAAAAAAAY easier to catch Ebola.
Yep.....makes sense.
Congratulations soldier boys........how you feel NOW about defending your blessed country?
Also.......using the line of reasoning that says we can't quarantine civilians and doctors because they will be less likely to sign up to go the Hot Zone to stop the virus there.......won't this make it harder to recruit soldiers in the future if they think they are going to have to go through such a harsh quarantine if they are ever sent to go shoot Ebola with M-16s and Hellfire missiles?
Win - win.
I like the way they deployed the troops first, and THEN they pop the 'ole "hey fuckers, your ass will be quarantine after deployment" trick on them.
This is a beta test for when shit gets real here in the States.
They're programmed not to feel or question.
.
It's kind of hard to enforce USD hegemony at gunpoint when your guns are bleeding out their assholes.
The military understands its duty. I'm just surprised that the usual PC BS obstacles that the Pentagram usually throws up to prevent successfully achieving objectives (or redefining objectives) were overcome.
Let's not forget that Obama said he wanted a civilian force just as strong as the army. One way to achieve that is to reduce the size of the army.
Jumbotron
But Hagel said the decision was taken partly because military families urged the quarantine.
"This is also a policy that was discussed in great detail by the communities, by the families of our military men and women, and they very much wanted a safety valve on this," Hagel said at an event in the US capital, the "Washington Ideas Forum."
(If a PR release can be believed)
The Soldiers and their families asked for this. Soldiers operate in the real world where actions have consequences. Quite likely the families and local community did ask for this. 21 Days is not long. It is definitely worth the down time if it removes the risk of infecting your family and friends. You have to wonder about the motivation of people who can’t wait 21 days after being exposed to Ebola before going to see there loved ones.
I count one of my greatest successes in life as discouraging my son and a number of his friends from enlisting in the military. Why any parent would allow their children to join is beyond me.
Let them sit in the halls of congress during their stay.
JUstice comes in many forms.
At least they will get full pay, as far as dissenting opinions.. well, they are getting full pay...
Re-fit Ellis Island and bring in some beer and vids. Should be some nice paid R&R.
Maybe they should extend it to the "ancient standard" 40 day quarantine ?
Not the wimpy 21 day or 30 day.
Private room and service with full hazmat.
That way ?bo?a or was that ?ba?a is all contained or protected with 99.9% chance.
What else to do ?
Outbreak...12 monkeys...Omega Man. Gotta put a lid on it.
they probably all fucked kaci so they need serious decontamination. /s
Wow, makes one want to run out and sign up.
Good thing we sent them down there to do something.
/s
Really.Build 1700 beds to be complete by mid December.
At the current rate of patient growth, thats One days new patients in mid December.
This is a fools errand.
Tough love requires a total isolation of west Africa now.Air drop supplies and volunteers in,but nothing
comes out until this outbreak has burned to a climax.
When .not if, ebola gets loose here, we will be unable to help ourselves, let alone Africa,
if the fools in DC continue this BS.
A military coup d'etat would be more productive.
Just remember, when you join the military you leave your citizen's 'rights' at the door. The only difference is the solider knows this beforehand while the actual citizen is still learning his/her 'rights' never actually existed.
If we are unwilling to exercise our 'rights' they never existed in the first place.
"If we are unwilling to exercise our 'rights' they never existed in the first place." That was particularly cogent, even for you, CD. :)
Even a blind squirrel...... :)

hey Duffy, check out https://trutube.tv/videos/ ...plenty of jew bashing videos over there.
Where is the site with Ebola bashing, been looking for it also lol.
Lets make sure the public focuses on Ebola because we sure do not need them nosing around the FED statement being released today.
The Fed is releasing their statement while my "As the World Turns Fed Churns" soap opera is airing. Talk to me after 3pm.
To be honest, I gave too much credit for the word "public". it is not like they would understand or even care, as long as the matrix stays operational.
Its not a quarantine its a vacation and they deserve it, and the quarantine should be somewhere nice like the Brinkerhoff lodge at the Grand Tetons http://time.com/3544052/brinkerhoff-biden-cheap-vacations-log-cabin/
Or maybe camp David
There are two ways of looking at this 21 day "quarantining".
1. If you are still being paid consider it as part of your service period.
2. If there is a possibility that you have contracted ebola, why would you want to pass it on to your family and why would they want to catch it from you.
WHY send US troops there in the first place?
Cuba send almost 300 medics
"The UN special coordinator for Ebola, David Nabarro, praised Cuba in the opening of the summit for its contribution in the fight against the epidemic.
"With the first group of aid workers, the small Caribbean island has already sent more aid to the countries affected than the United States or the United Kingdom, said Nabarro reading from a message from the UN Secretary General, Ban Ki-moon."
Cuba Sends Off Brigade to Liberia and Guinea to Fight EbolaThey are building known-source Quarantine facilities and mini-hospitals to setup quarantine locations over there.
Once there are 17 or so quarantine facilities setup over there...then they can wait in W. Africa first for 20, 30 or 40 days, before getting on commercial flights to rest of world.
You can't just tell the world you're moving in on the imperialist turf of the Chinese to rape, rob and pillage the countries yourself. You have to claim you're sending in troops for humanitarian purposes to help the children
WHY send US troops there in the first place?
"It's better to fight them there than here"
Duh
Thank You For Your Service in Quarantine.
Do they get a yellow was there ribbon ?
Yes, but it is a red ribbon with a metallic ebola DNA device attached.
Hey grunts! Whine like sissies and sue the Pentagon because a quarantine is "so restrictive". Fuck it if ebola spreads through the country, as long as you get your pussy and fastfood, plus you"'ll qualify for medical marijuana! Yahoo!
Don´t yáll worry now! Our Commander-in-Cheef is gonna lay the law down wiff sum serious orders, send over his buddy Czar guy to the Pentagon right quick, and gives that Hagel mister a real good switchen´ like. Just you wait!
Once you start shooting at EBOLA you become a target of their religious zealotry. I fully expect that we'll have lone wolf EBOLA members here in the states any time - can't we just leave them alone to practice their faith in peace?
Must be election time - getting a highly publicized shooting a day now just to remind people they need to vote for 'gun control'.......
1) Why send troops to "fight Ebola"?
2) Quarantines are the only sensible measures. There are NO valid individual "rights" when the lives of millions are at stake, and a 21-day isolation is no big deal. Who on dear earth would want to be a potential mass murderer anyway? Any sane person would demand being quarantined to make sure he/she doesn't endanger the lives of others.
Exceptional Americans,like nurse me-me, in Maine would disagree.
Seems the Doctor in NYC, lied as well about staying in self quarantine,
and was only caught out by his metro card.
Does bring new insight into the spread of the Black Death in the middle ages though.

This needs to be spread around.
Don't understand what the hoopla is over this. People exposed to a deadly, contagious, disease should not be monitored? How is this a bigger issue than them not having a choice to go in the first place? Its because they are in the military, this is the gig. Don't want to put yourself in harms way or be inconvenienced, don't join-up.
Quite honestly everyone getting off a plane/ship/whatever from that region should be locked away until its confirmed they are not carrying. There are certain times when your "rights" don't mean crap....this is one of them. This is even more pertinent for those that actually have a CHOICE to go over there. Don't want the 21 day lock down, don't f*&king go.
Sucks that the stupid nurse from Maine is refusing quarantine and threatening legal action. 21 days in quarantine after returning from treating ebola patients is a pretty fucking basic measure that could go a long way in helping the U.S.
The Pentagon always uses its troops as petri dishes for 'new stuff' from innoculations to atom bombs. We got a lot of injections of unknown shit before going abroad, in the service in the 1980's.
Internal memo pushes bringing non-citizens to US for Ebola treatment; State denies plan
October 29, 2014
And here are the troops that Obongo sent to Liberia:
http://media.zenfs.com/en_us/News/Reuters/2014-09-18T175347Z_1122217573_...
This is bio-warfare, directed against the historic American people. The people who've been dispossessed by the tribe through the 1965 Immigration Act
Despite all the precautions taken to date, Ebola continues to spread within the "no intervention" cone of increasing case frequency. I'd like to hear that somebody, somewhere, has a plan to keep this from spreading. Seriously.
The fact that this ever spread to more than 50 cases is an indictment of human civilization in its entirety. It's already a massive failure of policy and was within a couple months of this outbreak starting. Should this continue to increase to hundreds of thousands or millions of cases, well, I think by then no mechanism will exist to keep it from becoming a universal pandemic that bottlenecks the population of the human species.
But hey, look on the bright side. 15-20% of people in Gabon are immune, and something like 30% of victims survive, albiet with organ damage and decreased life expectency. The human species isn't going anywhere! We'll get through this thing. I mean, you and I might not, but humanity will.

*ALERT AS THE CDC STARTS TO BROADEN EBOLA RISK DEFINITIONS TO ALLOW UNSCIENTIFIC, UNCONSTITUTIONAL MASS QUARANTINES
*MAINE MUST SEEK QUARANTINE ORDER FOR CDC EMPLOYEE KACI HICKOX ON SCIENTIFIC GROUNDS,
*NEEDS NARROW AND PRECISE DEFINITION OF PERSON AT HIGH RISK OF EBOLA EXPOSURE IN LAWSUIT TO EXCLUDE POLITICAL MISUSE
*THE RIGHT TO CONTEST AN UNSCIENTIFC QUARANTINE WITH OVERLY BROAD DEFINITIONS OF RISK ON CONSTITUTIONAL GROUNDS MUST REMAIN
This blog has been asserting that Ebola is a political stunt to achieve political aims, namely tyranny, and that the CDC is seeking a plausible excuse to put virtually every American under forcible quarantine and give them untested jabs. So, it is not surprising to see the CDC now making small but subtle changes to its case definition of Ebola and epidemiological risk factors to widen the net of potential victims.
http://www.infowars.com/cdc-expands-ebola-risk-factors-for-forcible-quarantine/
http://www.cdc.gov/vhf/ebola/exposure/risk-factors-when-evaluating-person-for-exposure.html
http://www.cdc.gov/vhf/ebola/hcp/case-definition.html
In spite of the fact there is absolutely no scientific evidence that Ebola can go airborne except under lab conditions, the CDC’s new guidelines now consider anyone who has been on a plane or in proximity of an Ebola victim as at risk of Ebola.
As soon as the CDC feels it has stoked enough hype and fear — also through the reckless activity of its own covert agents such as CDC Epidemiology Intelligence Service Officer Kaci Hickox — my bet is the CDC will switch quarantine policy overnight.
It will switch from being extremely lax on scientifically justified quarantines for people who are at a genuinely high risk of contracting Ebola to imposing draconian and constitutionally unjustified quarantines at the point of a gun on virtually every second person in the USA.
It is hoping Americans will get confused about these two types of quarantines because the second can be successfully contested in court as the case of Carmen Reynolds in Florida in 2009 demonstrated.
Certainly, CDC operative Hickox is doing her bit to undermine legitimate, scientific quarantines and pave the way for illegitimate blanket unconstitutional martial law quarantines by her refusal to obey mandatory quarantine orders, even though she really is at high risk for contracting Ebola after treating Ebola patients in Sierra Leone and she really could be incubating Ebola.
She is deliberately confusing scientific and constitutional arguments for and against quarantine in her constant threats of legal action. Her civil rights lawyer appears to be preparing to contest her quarantine on false scientific grounds.
Fortunately, the Maine police are now parked outside her house and the Maine governor Paul LePlage is seeking legal action to stop her from breaking her quarantine and endangering local people.
Governor LePlage must base his legal argument for Hickox’s quarantine on science and not on constitutional rights. The people of Maine must continue to have the constitutional right to refuse unscientific, mass quarantines.
http://www.buzzfeed.com/tasneemnashrulla/live-updates-nurse-kaci-hickox-refuses-to-obey-maines-quaran
If Hickox really has Ebola or even just fakes Ebola, thousands of people in New Jersey and Maine could end up in forced quarantine and facing forced medical treatment two or three weeks down the line if the CDC suddenly issues new unscientific quarantine guidelines. If this happens, citizens must be ready to go to the courts and contest quarantines on constitutional grounds.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s campaign in 2011 launched urging Americans to get ready for a Zombie Apocalypse, reinforcing the message with a comic which depicts a scenario rather similar to the one being trained in a huge FEMA pandemic exercise in November.
A couple settle down to watch TV when an emergency message is flashed across their screens, a Zombie Apocalypse is announced and then the TV and radio go blank. Soon after, a Zombie tries to storm the home, according to the CDC comic storyline.
The CDC placed more emphasis on a “zombie preparedness” campaign than preparations for Ebola despite a $6.6 billion yearly budget, reports Infowars.

But where could a Zombie pandemic come from?
Could a Zombie Apocalypse drug be produced which which could alter people to take their aggression to unmanageable levels, propelling them to bite others and transmit the lethal Ebola disease in an uncontrollable way? Could it infect animals too?
Could it come in liquid and freeze dried forms and can be put into a city’s water supply, infecting people without their realizing it , creating uncontrollable panic and chaos, which is compounded by a TV, communications and power blackout?
On Wednesday October 15, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the National Institutes of Health, announced a new dual-purpose candidate vaccines to protect against rabies and Ebola viruses, developed by Dr Mathias Schnell of the biodefense centre of of the Thomas Jefferson University.
After WHO declared Ebola an international health emergency, experimental, untested and potentially lethal drugs can be given to populations, including a rabies and Ebola jab.

“The vaccines were created by scientists at NIAID and Thomas Jefferson University (TJU) in Philadelphia and are being further developed through a partnership with the German pharmaceutical company IDT Biologika. The candidate vaccines now have been licensed to Exxell BIO of Saint Paul, Minnesota, which aims to advance the products through clinical testing and commercialization.”
Exxell BIO of Saint Paul seems to be a shell or front company.

“The experimental vaccines—based on rabies virus vaccines currently used in people and in animals—contain either a killed or a live, attenuated (weakened) rabies virus engineered to produce an Ebola protein. The killed, or inactivated, vaccine is being developed to prevent rabies and Ebola infection in people, while the live, attenuated vaccine is intended for use in African wildlife to help prevent Ebola virus transmission from animals to people.” IDT Biologika is one of Germany’s handful of vaccine producers based in Dessau. A former Nazi and East German Communist vaccine producer “Impfstoffwerk Dessau-Tornau GmbH“, IDT Biologika was privatised in 1993. It produces vaccines for animals and humans, including rabies and AIDS. It also has a vaccine facility on a top secret bioweapons research facility on the island of Riems in the Baltic sea, which is closed to the public. http://www.idt-biologika.de/index.php?session=65497f8bd2bab28673912c0953...http://www.idt-biologika.com/get.php?f=4ec26f0bb4f160794d811d22cf3ce986.pdf&m=download
The twenty hectare island contains some of the biggest and most advanced bioweapons research facilities in the world.

Riems island housed a Nazi biological warfare research institute, the “Reichsforschungsanstalt Insel Riems”, which was under the direct command of SS leader and eugenicist Heinrich Himmler.

After the war, it became a top secret East German Communist research facility. In 2010, the German government invested about 300 million euros to make it one of the most advanced bioweapons research facilities in the world with 89 labs.

Holy shit this is fantastic hahahahaha.. need more people like you on here
TJU already has a mandantory flu injection policy for all its employees. They stopped about halfway, saying they were waiting for "more supplies". Ebola/rabies in the next batch of forced vaccines?
And does anybody know what a CDC employee ID card looks like?
No quarantine for travelers, business people, students, fck-all, but quarantine for our troops. Yep, Amerika, land of the free.
This administration is really insane, like criminally insane. The puppet masters have truely gone off the deep end.
Look....i'm one of the largest collectors of tin foil hats around here but let's knock it off with the rights bullshit on this case.
Plain and simple.........if you've been around a contagious disease---your ass goes to quarantine.
End of fucking story.
And for those preaching their 'rights', what about my rights? I should have the right to not be around some selfish asshole that could potentially give me a deadly disease. Hell if nothing else enjoy your vacation from fucking lala land.
Please put yourself in quarantine right this second. It's for my safety. There. How do you feel now? I feel a lot safer!
1.) When a person joins the U.S military, he/she swears and signs an OATH, which in law is in fact a CONTRACT (for the last 4,000 plus years). The ancient maxim of law still applies: "The contract [oath] is the Law." For the duration of that contract, the rules within that contract apply, the PRESUMPTION being that the person voluntarily signed the contract [oath] and therefore CONSENTED to the rules within the contract. Further, by doing so, he WAIVED all his natural rights under the Common Law as guaranteed by the Constitution, as well as the "privileges" granted to him via legislated acts (statutes, code, civil regulations, etc.) Indeed, this soldier is now under military JURISDICTION, as opposed to statutory or Common Law jurisdiction. And military jurisdiction is simply of subset of "commercial law" (Maritime-Admiralty law; Law Merchant). In the U.S. military, he thereby falls under the RULES within the "Uniform Code of Military Justice" (UCMJ), which can be enforced upon him under Maritime-Admiralty law (Commercial law) - just like with any other contract.
The result is that is required to abide by the UCMJ, along with any LAWFUL order issued by anyone of superior rank - and that includes the President as the "Commander-in-Chief". If he fails to follow these lawful orders, he may be prosecuted under the rules of the UCMJ, BUT since by his oath he waived his natural rights under the Common Law and the guarantees of these natural rights by the Constitution. Therefore, he is subject to court-martial (granted as a "privilege" to him by the UCMJ), a hearing in which he may be subject to "summary judgment" if found guilty. By his oath (contract) he voluntarily waived ALL of his natural rights; he has only "privileges" granted to him by UCMJ. In short, he has NO right to a "trial by a jury of his peers" or any other rights guaranteed within the "Bill of Rights". ONLY Maritime-Admiralty law in the form of the UCMJ apply to him. Therefore, he MUST do as ordered, including being quarantined re: Ebola for as long as the President and/or military wish - whether it is 21 days, 200 days, or 2 years.
2.) I recently read an online newspaper article (a major, long-time newspaper in New England) discussing the “the maximum DISTANCE an exhaled water droplet with Ebola virus travels” from an Ebola-infected person who coughs or sneezes. I was appalled by the information (actually mis-information) provided to the reporter by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), World Health Organization (WHO), Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) researchers, other medical research groups, and even the TV show MythBusters.
I am a former physician/researcher who spent the last 25 years in clinical medical research - although the last 15 or so years in research design (methodology) and programming for study databases, etc. for these studies. I was NOT a pulmonary specialist by training, but I can assure folks that these figures by the CDC, MIT, MythBusters and other researchers are NONSENSE.
The first rule in medicine is, “Presume that everything you hear or read, even in prestigious medical journals, is false – or that the information may be true OR may be false.” Whenever I read an article in a medical journal (such as the New England Journal of Medicine - NEJM), I always very carefully reviewed the "Methodology" section of the article. The results mean nothing if the methodology is flawed.
The second rule was, “Think horses, NOT zebras.” Even if the diagnosis of patient’s illness appears to be very obvious, the physician always puts the most probable cause of the illnesst high on this list of possible causes. However, the “rule of thumb” in clinical medicine was ALWAYS create in the patient’s record a “Differential Diagnosis”: meaning you create a list of ALL possible causes for his signs and symptoms. Next, under each possible cause you write out your plan: the method(s) by which you will try to determine confirm or eliminate that possible cause for that one possible cause. You then do the same for every other possible cause, until you have eliminated most of the possible causes and are left with one or two causes that best explain the patient’s signs and symptoms. In short, you presume nothing. You start with a long list of possible causes, then “whittle” the list down to the most likely causes – then try to confirm those causes. That is a “differential diagnosis”.
There are too many variables involved to make an accurate and reliable estimation of the distance. A few of the variables (off the top of my head) include (in a room or outside): temperature, humidity, the size of the droplets, the force of the air expelled from the lungs by sneezing or coughing, the volume of air expelled, the humidity of the air expelled, the concentration of Ebola Virus per volume of air expelled, air movement, air exchange rates and so on.
For example: If you are in a mid-size conference room with Bob (with definitively diagnosed active Ebola proven by tests to be expelled whenever he sneezes or coughs) his forceful sneezing or coughing, tiny water droplets with Ebola virus will definitely be expelled into the room air. However, if the room is extremely well ventilated with a high air-volume exchange rate (by open windows and/or high volume air conditioning/ventilation system; and the room humidity is very low, and the air temperature rather hiigh, then the water droplets that emerge from his lungs will be more quickly dispersed (less concentrated in a given space) and the droplets will evaporate very fast.
On the other hand, if the same room has closed windows, poor ventilation (very low rates of air exchange), is comfortably cool, and is very humid, then the identical coughing and sneezing by Bob will result in droplets remaining in the room air longer and thus traveling further across that room - perhaps even filling the room, but at a low water droplet to room air volume ratio (concentration).
HOWEVER, has it been proven yet that Ebola is transmitted via air expelled from the lungs in ALL infected Ebola subjects? Or do only some infected subjects (perhaps at highly advanced stages of the disease) expell Ebola from their lungs? And is there a "minimum exposure" level necessary to be infected by Ebola-containing water droplets in the air? Does a short-term, high concentration exposure to Ebola water droplets? Or is a long-term, high concentration of Ebola water droplets necessary? Or repeated short-term, high concentration exposures? Further, for the non-infected subject exposed to these conditions, there are also many variables, such as his inhalation (inspiratory) volume, exhalation (expiratory volume), respiratory rate, etc.(The air is the lungs and bronchi are NOT completely inhaled and exhaled with each breath. There is so-called "residual volume" of air in the lungs and bronchi; and this residual volume changes (someone sitting quietly as opposed to someone running at "high speed" on a treadmill in a gym.)
In addition, by what mechanism (route) does the Ebola virus infect a person? If all other factors above are held constant, is exposure to the mucosa (tissue lining) of the nose and or mouth sufficient? Or do the lung's bronchial tubes (bronchi) the route of entry by the Ebola water droplet? Or do he Ebola water droplets need to be alveoli within the lungs, where oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged between blood and inhaled air? Added to that is the fact that the nose is an especially effective "filter" for larger particles and water droplets; the mouth is also a "filter", but less effective. The upper bronchi also "filter" out larger particles, which are later expelled from the mouth as sputum or simply swallowed. In short, most inhaled larger particles and water droplets do NOT even make into deep into the lung tissue issue, as they are "filtered" out beforehand. It is only the tiniest inhaled particles and water droplets that travel deep into the lung tissue proper - and as noted above a big factor here is inspiratory and expiratory volumes, respiratory rate, etc.
Finally, if a person is infected only by exposure to deepest tissues in the lungs (alveoli), then the same issues discussed above come into play regarding: duration of each exposure, number and frequency of exposures, concentration of Ebola virus per droplet, size of the droplets, and so on. For example, maybe repeated, short-term exposures to high Ebola concentration droplets, small-size droplets are necessary for a person breathing slowly are required? And we will not even attempt to discuss a person's immune system status. Or perhaps just a few, short-term exposures to high Ebola concentration droplets, small-size droplets are necessary for a person breathing rapidly with very high inspiratory and expiratory volumes (such as someone doing exercises) are necessary? And we will not even attempt to discuss a person's immune system status ad other factors, such as other illnesses or abnormal physiological parameters the non-infected person may have.
This is all I can think of off the "top of my head" right now. (It has been over 30 years since medical school and residency and now about almost 16 years since I was actively, clinically involved with patients/subjects on a routine basis, so my knowledge of pulmonary physiology and pulmonary pathology is a little "rusty".)
In short, from my research on inhaled gases and other projects involving the respiratory system, I can assure that the figures put out by the organizations mentioned above are pure bullshit.

Of course the serving military has rights under the UCMJ. Look at the Major who was given an Article 32 administrative punishment for refusing an order to deploy (again) as he maintained Obama was a fraud and illegitimate President. He refused the Article 32 and demanded a trial. The difference with a trial is that he could be subject to more serious punishment. The upside is that he could call witnesses and interrogate them under oath about Obama's qualifications (or lack thereof) to be president. The government folded and the Major was allowed to retire with full pension.
Hagel and a couple of 4-stars must have been willing to resign over this.
Good for them.
This is a dress-rehearsal.... mentally preparing the sheeple for quarantines.
Look how well our nice military takes it in the ass. Why do you civilians make a big fuss about bending over?
this psyop brought to you by: USAFRICOM
Headine: "Obama Uses Hugs And Kisses to Ease Ebola Fears." Oh wow, I didn't realize that the concern Americans have about Ebola was whether or not they could hug someone healed at a BioSafety Level 4 facility and declared totally free of the virus.
