The Dumbing Down of the United States: Into the New Dark Ages as students ‘disappear’ and Obamacare ‘kills’, 1st six months of 2014!

Incomplete list of publicly announced education layoffs & school shutdowns from January to June 2014:

Alabama: Hoover City Schools laid off nine employees. School officials said that despite a growing student population, local taxes began declining suddenly in 2009-10 (isn’t that when the ‘recession’ officially ended?) and it doesn’t help that Obama Care has drastically increased the costs of employee benefits.  In Birmingham, God refused to stop the Parkway Christian Academy from shutting down. This time it’s blamed on church members not paying their dues, as a result the church has to sell the school!  The John Essex School shutting down before the 2014-15 school year. Student population has dropped to less than 100. School officials say families are getting the hell out of the country: “The enrollment just kept dwindling. This is the trend….Families are moving away and the families aren’t as big as they used to be.”-Luke Hallmark

Alaska: University of Fairbanks warned of 100 job cuts! It’s blamed on crashing taxpayer funding and increasing healthcare costs for employees due to Obama Care.

Arizona: The Blue Ridge Unified School District warned of layoffs.  Sunnyside Unified School District eliminated seven full time librarians. Six librarians now forced to work at two different school libraries.  Coconino Community College District killed 15 jobs. This leaves only two full time positions for the college.  University of Phoenix (Apollo Education Group) laid off less than 50 employees. Company officials say it’s part of their restructuring.

California:  Coachella Valley Unified School District killed 96 positions, on top of the previous 51 employees let go. School district officials admitted they are trying to avoid bankruptcy, however, employees and taxpayers are confused because the district was able to give students 18-thousand iPads last year. On top of that the Golden State government is supposed to be giving schools extra money for the school year. Local news reports said district officials made the layoff decision without public discussion.   Galt Joint Union High School District says it must layoff five employees, due to what I call Disappearing Students Syndrome (DSS).  BEST (Barstow Employment Specialized Training) Opportunities killed 98 jobs, guess their job training wasn’t good enough.  CDIHS/OMI Head Start laying off 76 people in July.

Colorado: Colorado State University-Pueblo laid off 22 employees. 19 vacant positions have been eliminated.  Durango School District laid off 24 people. School officials say that despite increasing student enrollment the state has drastically cut funding.

Connecticut: God refusing to stop the Christian Ledyard Center Nursery School from shutting down. It’s blamed on a steady but snowballing decline in students. This school year they have only 40 students, after years of having hundreds! I asked this before, where are all the grade school and college students going? Is there some kind-o-cover up regarding a massive population decline in the U.S.? In Lemont, God refused to stop the all Christian girls (hey isn’t that discrimination against boys?) Mount Assisi Academy from shutting down. Same reason, what I call Disappearing Students Syndrome (DSS).  Is it the rapture?

Florida: Manatee County Schools laid off 12 employees. God refused to stop the shutdown of Wellington Christian School, 50 jobs lost. The Christian parents are pissed saying “Terrible. Out of the blue. Nothing. Just an e-mail to everybody. It was very upsetting.” Another parent says they just busted their butts raising donations to save the school, and now they want that money back, saying “Sure, well, I don’t know about that honestly in terms of the last few days, but if the money was designated to save our high school that money should be returned to our families!”  However, greedy church officials now say that money is staying with the church! The ‘interim’ pastor says he wants to sell off the school property!  Broward County School District shutting down three charter schools (including The Obama Academy for Boys). This is on top of the 12 charter schools the district has already killed! This time school officials say the charter schools being closed broke their contracts, by not operating at the locations stipulated in the contracts, and, they failed to get permits (they were apparently permitted as day care centers, not schools).  Duval County Head Start more than 300 jobs affected due to loss of funding! The education program is now forced to rely on cheap contractors.

Georgia: Jackson County School District wants to kill 42 jobs. District officials say reduced taxpayer funding and increased Obama Care insurance costs have created a $4.6-million USD shortfall!  Muscogee County School District eliminated 113 jobs (69 occupied positions and 44 vacant positions)! It’s due to funding problems, but 19 teachers were fired specifically for poor performance.

Illinois:  Bushnell-Prairie City School District laid at least 16 employees, ended two sports programs and ended elementary summer school for the 2014-15 school year. It’s blamed on massive funding cuts at the states level.   Dunlap School District laid off 17 employees. It was revealed the district is in the hole $2.1-million. Employees are pissed because last year the district led everybody to believe the district was in good shape.  The Prairie State Superintendent of Schools warned 13-thousand 4-hundred teachers could become unemployed!  In Galeberg, after 35 years the Carl Sandburg College Children’s School shutdown in June: “…the college simply no longer offers the accompanying programs and no longer has the resources available to continue to support it financially given the reduced funding we’ve received from the state in recent years.”

Chicago Public Schools laid off 1150 employees! School administrators claim the number of layoffs are the lowest in the past five years! The job killing is blamed on the ever increasing  Disappearing Students Syndrome and a new per-pupil funding formula.  Belleville School District laid off 12 teachers, as a “precaution”. School administrators say the state and federal governments have not been paying what they are supposed to pay under school funding laws. As an example; the state of Illinois still owes the school district $2.1-million! Taxpayers need to get pissed and ask their elected officials “why?”   Lincoln-Way Community High School District 210 laid off four of their ten art teachers.  Peoria School District 150 killing 200 jobs! District officials blamed crashing funding from federal and state tax revenues, and even crashing local property tax revenues. In other words, the economy sucks ass!  Rockford School District shutting down nine schools, and tearing them down to created “green space”! It’s not clear why, even a local news source stated “parents expressed extreme curiosity in the district’s plans”.

Iowa: Wesleyan College warned of layoffs. At least 45 people will lose their jobs. 16 programs are being shutdown, affecting at least 50 students who thought they were close to graduating. College administrators blame what I call DSS and lack of money!  In Galesburg, Cooke Elementary school being shutdown. School district officials say student enrollment is so low the school can barley maintain 15 students per class, making it a waste of money to keep the school open. It also doesn’t help that the district is in the hole by $4.4-million!  Iowa City Community School District eliminated 36 teacher and administrator positions. 47 teachers are expected to retire and those positions will not be filled, but school district officials said some layoffs might still be necessary. It’s blamed on state mandated education spending cuts.  West Des Moines’ Johnston Community School District voted to shutdown an elementary school and possibly kill 14 jobs. Administrators say they must shutdown an elementary school, then turn a Junior High into an elementary school, plus raise property taxes/fees in order to build a new High School. (Hey they pulled that crap here in Chubbuck/Pocatello, Idaho, and it was nothing but a big mess and a scam for local taxpayers!)  West Des Moines says they must shutdown the Phenix Early Childhood Center in order to deal with education funding cuts. 180 students and 12 teachers affected!

Kansas: God can’t stop Christian non-profit Ottawa University from laying off 18 employees. School officials say the layoffs are “a preventive measure” against the growing number of disappearing (raptured?) students.

Kentucky: University of Louisville warned of massive layoffs. It’s blamed on what I call Disappearing Students Syndrome (DSS). School officials revealed that due to declining enrollments they’ve cut $114-million out of their operating budget over the past ten years! Now the Governor wants to slash state funding of higher education by 2.5%.  Fort Knox to shutdown four schools; Kingsolver Elementary, Mudge Elementary, Pierce Elementary and Walker Intermediate School. That’s half their schools! 130 jobs will be lost! It’s blamed on the de-activation of the U.S. Army’s 3rd Brigade.  Georgetown College laying off an undisclosed number of employees and eliminating French, German, Computer Science, and Music majors. They say it’s part of their two year “strategic” plan to adjust to Obama Care, which drastically increases the cost of employee retirement and health insurance benefits.  In Louisville, Jefferson County Public Schools officials blames disappointing student performance for why Myers Middle School (Junior High) must be closed. Students consistently rank in the bottom 1% for the whole state!  Northern Kentucky University laid off 20 employees, blaming “financial challenges”.

Louisiana: The University of New Orleans announced they will kill an undisclosed number of their 84 degree programs, which will result in layoffs. The university laid off 28 people back in February. Since 2012 more than 110 employees have been laid off, and they shutdown their child daycare! It’s blamed on what I call Disappearing Students Syndrome, for example; in 2003 the university had more than 17-thousand students, in 2013 they had only 9323, an almost 50% reduction over ten years! Louisiana Delta Community College wants to layoff 28 employees. The college has been forced to cut its operating budget by millions of dollars for the past several school years.    Loyola University killed more than 24 jobs.  In Baton Rouge, The Career Academy charter school forced to shutdown, despite their five year contract with East Baton Rouge Parish School System. The East Baton Rouge Parish School System claims they need the property.

Maine: The York School District killed nine jobs. The University of Maine wants to kill 165 to 255 jobs! Administrators say it will have to be, if the state government goes through with draconian budget cuts.  University of Southern Maine shutdown Dickey Wood Hall. It’s blamed on DSS. The Hall was designed to accommodate 360 students, but this past spring there were only 40 living in the dorm!

Massachusetts: Wareham School District warned of massive restructuring and layoffs. The District is short $2.4-million!  In Worchester, God refused to stop the killing of 15 jobs at the Catholic Assumption College. School officials said the layoffs were the only way they could keep from raising tuition. Parents have told school officials the number one reason why student enrollment is declining is because of the skyrocketing costs of higher education (or is it the Rapture?).   Amherst Regional School Committee eliminated 12 jobs, blamed “mainly to declining enrollment”.   After only 11 years, Center for Digital Imaging Arts now chapter 7 bankrupt busted. Chapter 7 bankruptcy indicates they are toast and will be liqudated.  In Norwood, That Which Cannot Be Named refused to stop the shutdown of the Jewish elementary school Kehillah Schechter Academy. It’s blamed on disappearing Jewish students (it also doesn’t help that the school is millions of dollars in debt).

Michigan: Lansing Public School District warned it might have to shutdown Eastern High School. It’s blamed on decreasing students and increasing employee costs caused by Obama Care health insurance and retirement increases. To add to that, The Lansing Public School District privatizing their school bus system, trying to cut more than $700-thousand from their budget. School bus drivers make about $12 per hour, part time, so just imagine what kind of contracted drivers they’re going to get for minimum wage. School bus driver Keisha Boose is pissed, saying  “I feel like I have been a loyal employee and the Lansing School District does not have my back!”   After first announcing (in March) they would not privatize their school bus system, Battle Creek Public Schools privatized their school bus system! 41 jobs affected.  The Charlotte Public Schools could shutdown the Charlotte Performing Arts Center. Administrators revealed the taxpayer funded Arts Center has been losing tens of thousands of dollars since 2010. Detroit Public Schools (DPS) warned they might shutdown 26 schools! Apparently DPS is in the hole by $120-million!  Eastern Michigan University is laying off 10 of its 11 full time lecturers! It’s blamed on what I call DSS, which is making budget problems even worse.  The troubled and possibly thieving Saginaw School District warned of school shutdowns in order to save money. The District is already being sued by one of its own board members, is already in the hole by $6.1-million, and last year it was forced by state officials to take over and shutdown the Buena Vista School District. And even though Buena Vista School District is dead, the local residents are still forking over local school taxes to pay off $6-million in district debt!  Flint School District is considering getting rid of all 41 administrators!  It all depends on the actual student population, Flint has been hemorrhaging students. So far four school have been closed and hundreds of jobs lost!  Pontiac Education Association laid off 63 teachers. It’s being blamed on the disappearance of 300 students for the 2014-15 school year! (and don’t forget the increased benefit costs caused by Obama Care). Pontiac schools are in so much financial trouble they are now being overseen by Oakland Intermediate School District.  The Ferndale Public Schools warned they must eliminate 30 jobs.  Administrators say they will go into the 2014-15 school year missing 300 students!

Minnesota:  The Minnesota School of Business shutdown their Shakopee branch, blaming disappearing students: “…in the past few years the number of students taking classes at the Shakopee campus has decreased dramatically.”-note taped to door at the Shakopee branch

The Willmar School District laid off 87 teachers and administrators. They hope it will be temporary. Minnesota State University Moorhead laid off 20 employees, and forced 21 employees to retire early, due to being short $5-million! University officials warned that if things don’t get better they will be short $8-million by 2016!  The Elmore Academy and the Wildcat Cafe shutdown to assess “programmatic needs”.   After only nine years the only two Christian Camden Music Schools shutdown. God didn’t stop the ‘great recession’ from killing off the schools: “The revenues were not sufficient for me to sustain it.”-Janet Zahn, founder

Mississippi: In McComb, God refused to stop the shutdown of Saint Alphonsus Catholic School, 22 jobs lost. It’s blamed on a the steady disappearance of students over the past seven years (Rapture?).

Missouri: In Ozora, God refuses to stop 115 years old Sacred Heart Catholic School from shutting down. Only 15 students enrolled for the 2014-15 school year!  Blame their DSS on the Rapture?  Troubled Saint Joseph School District killed more jobs, this time six employees were laid off.  School board officials blame it on disappearing students. However, the school district is being investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The FBI wants to know why the administrators secretly gave themselves $200-thousand in bonuses!

New Hampshire: In Goffstown, after 96 years (and surviving the Great Depression) God refused to stop the shutdown of Villa Augustina School. It’s blamed on disappearing Catholic students. In 2008-09 the Catholic parents tried to save the school by buying it from the Catholic church. However, the students just wouldn’t show up (maybe they’re all in heaven now. Oh no, the rapture?): “A community embracing Christian Values, Academic Excellence, and Loving Service consistent with the teachings of the Catholic Church and the charism of St. Claudine Thevenet.”-school mission statement

New Jersey:  Port Jervis School District warned of job cuts for the 2014-15 school year, blaming state and federal funding cuts and Obama Care insurance increases for district employees.   In Pennsauken Township, God can’t stop Saint Steven’s Christian school from shutting down.

It’s blamed on the loss of a community college grant.

New Mexico: Western New Mexico University warned of layoffs and tuition increases, due to what I call DSS.

New York:  Rochester City School District warned of massive layoffs due to the loss of 900 students for the 2014-15 school year!  The Hempstead School District killed 59 education jobs, in a secret vote. The teachers union went to local news media to report that 47 teachers, 10 teacher assistants and two administrators had received layoff notices. In May school officials declared many teaching positions were going to be “excessed”, which basically means there’s not enough money to cover them all.  Wilson Central School District laid off two employees. Rome City School District warned 60 teachers of layoff, and is asking another 40 to retire early. Lockport City School District laid off five employees and eliminated six vacant positions.  Glens Falls City School District killing 25 jobs, and reducing the hours for ten employees. The district blames it on declining tax revenues from the state and federal level, and will now push local school taxes/fees to their legal limit. Trumansburg Central School District might layoff seven employees.  Utica City School District killing 94 jobs. The district is in the hole by $6.4-million, and this is despite the fact that the district is one of the rare few that actually has increasing student enrollment!  Canisius College warned it will layoff an undisclosed number of employees, blaming years of what I call Disappearing Student Syndrome (DSS) and increasing benefit costs caused by Obama Care.   After spending $23-thousand dollars to find out why the Guilderland schools are losing students, the shutdown of Altamont Elementary School is now being discussed. The study blamed “Declining community population”, “Declining job market” and “underemployment”, “44% less growth in property values”, as well as blaming the federal government for “Unfunded mandates” and Obama Care for “Increasing health insurance and employee pension costs”!  South Colonie Central Schools jacking up property taxes and eliminating 35 jobs. Upset parents don’t understand that Obama Care is jacking up insurance costs astronomically for schools. Administrators are hoping the federal and state government will kick in some extra money to help pay for their financial rape.  Queensbury Union Free School District warned of job cuts, blaming continued reduction in funding, and of course they want the cash strapped local property owners to fork over more money. Saranac Lake Central School District wants to layoff at least 20 employees.  Trenton School District to layoff 77 employees. Administrators blamed part of their $10.5-million shortfall on charter schools. Buffalo School District warned of layoffs for the 2014-15 school year, as many as 390 jobs could be culled! They’re short nearly $50-million. Teachers in the district are pissed because in the past they’ve taken huge pay cuts, by as much as $15-thousand per teacher! Utica City School District wants to kill 90 jobs, due to a shortfall of $6.4-million, and that’s with an increase in student population and taxes. Local property owners are pissed because the district (along with the city) has been jacking up their taxes, and apparently it’s still not enough! However, one district official revealed that 61% of elitist property owners are exempted from paying taxes! The other 39% are burdened with funding local government. Sounds like a f*cked up place to live.   For the first time ever, Cazenovia School District had to kill jobs. 16 positions eliminated due to disappearing students (20% decline over the past 10 years). In Getzville, bus service First Student shutdown, killing 80 jobs. In Brooklyn, after 52 years God refused to stop the shutdown of Bishop Ford Central Catholic High School.

Pennsylvania: Philadelphia School District warned of 1-thousand layoffs in September! It’s blamed on massive funding cuts and massive insurance cost increases caused by Obama Care. Administrators said the combination causes them to be short $440-million for 2014-15 school year! They begged city, county and state officials to raise taxes in order to fund the district’s budget shortfall: “We cannot have another year where we’re cutting. We have to get stable…so we can fight for the future instead of worrying about every single year….We can’t go any further! We’ll be in the mud at the bottom of the hill, and it’s a very steep hill!”-Bill Green, School Reform Commission Chairman

Pittsburgh based Education Management Corporation (EDMC) laid off 80 HQ employees, and more are expected. The for-profit higher education system (half owned by Goldman-Sachs) operates in the U.S. and Canada through Argosy University, The Art Institutes (200 employees laid off earlier this year!), Brown Mackie College and South University. EMDC has been losing money for the past three years due to disappearing students (enrollment dropped almost 10% just from last year). EMDC is also facing U.S. federal charges for paying recruiters based on student headcount, which is a violation of U.S. education laws. The Allentown School District laid off 101 employees, including teachers! The district has already killed 350 jobs over the past four years! It’s blamed on what I call DSS, and Obama Care increases insurance and retirement costs for the school district by $4.3-million!

Officials need to make up a $5-million shortfall in the 2014-15 budget!  West York Area School District killed 29 jobs, on top of the 40 positions eliminated through attrition. Taxpayers question the job cuts because the school district is spending money on building renovations.   The Southern Lehigh School Board tearing down the Lower Milford Elementary School.

School board officials say they cannot afford the $15-million needed to renovate the school.   Bethlehem Area School District eliminating 22 teacher positions, despite local tax increases. Apparently Pennsylvania school districts cannot layoff employees due to economic reasons, so the district is blaming the ongoing trend of disappearing students.

Administrators blamed it on disappearing students and on prior administrators “overspending” taxpayer funding.  In Bridgeville, God refused to stop the closing of Holy Child Catholic School, church officials blame it on disappearing (Raptured?)

Superintendent William Nichols blames it on what I call the mysterious DSS: “The board built two buildings here in the past six or seven years that house all of the elementary students and that becomes possible because we have a declining enrollment of 35%…”

Tennessee: God refused to stop for profit Christian Victory University (Crichton College) from shutting down! A wealthy California Christian investor says his family has lost millions trying to float the university for the past five years! The problem is declining enrollment due to Disappearing Students Syndrome (DSS), and the fact that the majority of enrolled students are there on scholarships.

Texas: Rio Hondo School District killed 23 jobs. It’s blamed on funding cuts which are blamed on what I call DSS.  Copperas Cove Independent School District killing 75 jobs. The district no longer qualifies for the federal Heavy Impact Aid, which equates to a $12-million loss. The aid is for schools located near federal installations like military bases. However, 35% of the student population must meet certain qualifications, and apparently declining enrollment has resulted in not enough students to meet that 35% requirement.  The El Paso Independent School District warned it could be killing 172 teaching positions! It’s blamed on rising insurance and retirement costs caused by Obama Care, and the DSS of 33-hundred students over the past four years!

Wisconsin: Delavan-Darien School District eliminated 18 positions, mainly teachers.   God refuses to stop Marquette University from killing 25 jobs. The Catholic university says it’s necessary to keep tuition affordable, but never mind that they raised the tuition the month prior (you see you can’t trust Christians)!  Blackhawk Technical College laid off 11 employees. It’s blamed on reduced tax funding.  In De Pere, Wisconsin International School shutdown without notice! Local news reports stated that teachers had not been paid! Administrators with the privately run grade school stated “The Wisconsin International School has closed due to declining enrollment and mounting financial pressures.” 

Disappearing Students Syndrome (DSS): A phrase created by me to describe a phenomenon taking place across the United States, affecting both privately and publicly funded schools, from Kindergarten all the way through University levels.

International, U.S.

Ebola Update, 08 November 2014: Five U.S. military bases designated for quarantine! More proof it’s all about the money!

In the United States a recent Nightly Business Report (NBR) revealed that the EVD scare is a big boon for the pharmaceutical industry, with investors buying up pharma stocks like crazy.  Even the World Bank and IMF have created new types of loans for countries fighting outbreaks.  Notice in the following how many legal drug makers, health service providers and international bankers around the World are jumping on the ebola bandwagon.

Australia: The British empire country has hired contractor Aspen Medical to staff a British empire military field hospital in Sierra Leone.  The contract is worth $20-million AUD.   350 Aussie healthcare workers immediately “volunteered” to be hired by Aspen Health.

China:  Hong Kong has begun ebola disinfection drills.

Cuba: Perhaps hoping to profit from its ebola response, the Cuban Medical Services is pushing its healthcare products at the 32nd International Trade Fair in Havana.   Health administrators from 101 countries are expected to attend the fair.   Cuban Medical Services is directly involved in healthcare ops in 40 countries, while individual healthcare workers in the tens of thousands are working in 66 countries.

Dominican Republic: Reports that the Caribbean country’s Health Ministry and Ministry of Defense are conducting joint ebola filovirus training at the Military Teaching Hospital in Santo Domingo.

European Union:  The EU has pledged $1.25-billion USD to fight ebola in western Africa.  But wait, most of that money will actually be going to various European companies who will be involved in medical supplies and testing drugs!  On top of that the European Commission wants another $224-million just for the European pharmaceutical industry!

Portugal pledged $9915 worth of drugs to Guinea-Bissau.  The New York based World Bank also loaned Guinea-Bissau $750-thousand.  But wait, this isn’t the Guinea that’s dealing with an ebola outbreak, this is its neighbor Guinea-Bissau, which has yet to see an ebola case. 

Japan: In Osaka, a woman from Guinea was quarantined for suspicion of being infected.  She is locked down in a hospital with a fever, despite testing negative for the ebola filovirus.  In Tokyo, a Japanese man returning from Liberia was quarantined.  He has a fever and inflamed tonsils, however, his blood test showed no ebola.

Mali: The west-central African country reports 108 people under medical watch since a two years old girl died of ebola.

Nigeria: The African country is providing drugs and supplies worth more than $249-thousand to Sierra Leone.  It’s part of a $3-million effort by Nigeria, which includes 600 healthcare workers under the leadership of the Economic Community Of West African States. 

Switzerland (not a member of European Union):   The UN World Health Organization praising Swissmedic for testing a new drug developed by the Public Health Agency of Canada.  It’s been tested on non-human animals, but now will be tested on 115 human volunteers.  The drug is called VSV-ZEBOV and is currently being tested on people in the United States.  Switzerland is already testing another vaccine called ChAd3.

Vietnam: The South East Asian country has begun hospital drills in case of ebola outbreak.  This comes after an immigrant from ebola stricken Guinea arrived sick.  He later tested negative for EVD.

United States: In Nevada, Washoe County Health District administrators announced they have ordered a person who visited Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone to self monitor for symptoms.   There was no report indicating the person was sick.

NBR reported that shares of two drugs makers shot up  when investors learned they were working on ebola vaccines.  The companies are Sarepta and Tekmira.

In New York, the University of Buffalo says the filovirus is much older than first thought, not several thousands years old but 23-million!  Ebola and marburg are types of filovirus.

New York based World Bank revealed a new $450-million commercial loan scheme for countries hit by ebola outbreaks.  They’re justifying the new loans based on a UN study that says Liberia and Sierra Leone lost the equivalent of $36-million in development projects because of the Ebola Virus Disease.

The World Bank also estimates the fight against the filovirus, just in western Africa, to cost $32.6-billion by the end of 2015.

New York based International Monetary Fund (IMF) is working with World Bank on a supposed “epidemic emergency fund”.  However, it to is a loan.  Countries can borrow money to pay for medical response.  $500-million has been allocated for the new loan scheme.

In Washington DC, the Obama regime is asking the Congress to rape taxpayers for an additional $6-billion, to supposedly fight ebola.  Congress has already raped taxpayers for $88-million, plus shifted $750-million in military spending to the fight against EVD.

The Department of Defense has picked five U.S. military bases as designated quarantine zones.  They are Fort Hood and Fort Bliss inTexas, Fort Bragg in North Carolina, Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Washington and Joint Base Langley-Eustis in Virginia.

A drugs company revealed the Department of Defense gave it $8.5-million for development of an ebola vaccine based on the possibility the EVD has evolved to be transmittable by air: “In July 2014, Profectus BioSciences and the GNL were awarded a 3 year $8.5M grant from the DOD/JVAP to support development of a lyophilized trivalent VesiculoVax™-vectored vaccine to protect against all major strains of Ebola and Marburg viruses delivered as aerosols.”

The money went to Maryland based Profectus BioSciences.

But wait, there’s more!  Profectus BioSciences revealed even more money spent on even more sinisterness: “In addition, the USACC has contracted for clinical evaluation of the VesiculoVax™ Zaire-Ebola virus vaccine to meet the current outbreak in West Africa. The $9.5 million award has been made with Battelle Memorial Institute through the Chemical, Biological, Radiological, & Nuclear Defense Information Analysis Center (CBRNIAC) contract, a Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC®) owned, Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) contract vehicle for providing comprehensive scientific and technical research and analysis supporting the Department of Defense CBRN and Homeland Defense communities.” 

Ebola filovirus is so virulent because when it enters your body its first targets are your immune cells.  Once the immune system is weakened EVD then attacks your other cells.

Update, 02 November 2014

International, U.S.

Ebola Update, 02 November 2014: “We had hoped this wouldn’t happen” Oregon 1st case? China joins Obama, sends in the troops! Korea quarantines everybody! New threat, Mosquitos! This is good for business?

Canada: The British empire’s Great White North joins a growing list of countries banning travelers from ebola hot zone countries.

China: In another move to prove the ‘western’ critics (like the Obama regime) wrong, government officials have now pledged unlimited material and money for the fight against ebola filovirus in western Africa!

Chinese officials are joining with the Obama regime, deciding that this new version of EVD is a matter of national security, and is now sending combat troops to Africa!  To show how tight the cooperation is, the People’s Liberation Army is following the lead of the U.S. Department of Defense and is creating special medical martial law teams (some members have experience fighting SARS), similar to Obama’s Operation United Assistance order.  (see Ghana, below)

Chinese manufacturers of hazmat suits are reporting skyrocketing sales as a result of the ebola scare.

Cuba: U.S. officials attended anti-ebola meetings in Cuba.  Despite the Caribbean country’s world leading healthcare track record (and the fact that no Cuban healthcare worker has yet to get infected with EVD) many U.S. republicans blasted the Obama regime for joining up with Cuban health officials.

Cuba recently hosted an anti-ebola meeting for the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of the Americas-Commercial Treaty of the Peoples (ALBA-TCP).  UN officials were there and commended not only Cuba, but Venezuela as well: “I urge countries in the region and around the world to follow the lead of Cuba and Venezuela, who have set a commendable example with their rapid response in support of efforts to contain Ebola. Cuba’s proud tradition of training doctors from developing countries has also helped improve medical care around the world.”-David Nabarro, UN secretary-general’s special envoy on Ebola

Another UN official blamed the United States for bringing ebola to the ‘New World’: “You are absolutely doing the right thing. You want to step up your level of preparedness.  Last month, the Ebola virus moved to your region, to the United States.  Any country with an international airport is theoretically at risk of an imported case of ebola.”-Margaret Chan, UN World Health Organization

European Union: The British empire’s United Kingdom Disasters Emergency Committee announced they are shocked by the overwhelming amount of donations flooding in to help fight EVD. So far $5-million USD was raised in just two days! The U.K. government promised to match (with taxpayer funds) up to $7.5-million that came by way of donations.

Of course a lot of the money will be spent on the U.K.’s hazmat supply industries.

France is now taking care of a United Nations employee infected with ebola.  The ’employee’ got infected while in Sierra Leone.  The UN is refusing to give out anymore details.

An Italian man was fined almost $2-thousand USD for a “sick joke” he made about ebola, while on an airliner flying to Ireland.  The man wrote Warning Ebola on the lid of a coffee cup he was sharing with his daughter.  I think the fine is a ‘sick joke’.  Court records show no other passengers saw the coffee cup lid!  An airline employee saw the lid after it was thrown in the trash.  However, prosecutors likened the joke to a terrorist writing a note saying there was a bomb on the plane, even though in this case the note was never shown to anybody other than the jokesters themselves!

Ghana: Not only has China agreed to join Obama’s Operation United Assistance, but the People’s Liberation Army Air Force is using the same U.S. airbase in the western African country of Ghana.  Chinese cargo planes recently off-loaded Personal Protection Equipment (PPE), sprayers, body temperature detectors and body bags.  Ghana has yet to have any ebola cases, but is being used as a distribution point by the U.S. and China for those countries that do.

Guinea: A Cuban fighting ebola in the western African country has died, but not from the filovirus. He died from protozoans that cause malaria.

Jamaica: The Caribbean country has recently hired a couple of Cuban healthcare personnel to oversea anti-ebola training for Jamaican healthcare workers.

Japan: An NHK report said Japan’s healthcare system is not ready for an ebola outbreak.  A health official also said the health systems of countries around the World are not ready: “The Japanese government has tightened its border controls. But the root of the problem lies in West African countries. Japan and the rest of the international community should support these countries in two ways: One is to take countermeasures against ebola and the second is to build better healthcare systems for the future.”-Omi Shigeru, Japan Community Healthcare Organization

Korea (DPRK): The ebola threat has scared the leaders in the north so much that they now require 21 days of quarantine for anybody entering the country, regardless of where they’re coming from!  The news was reported by China’s Ministry of Commerce, saying the DPRK had notified them of the new policy.

Liberia: There are reports that the government healthcare system has collapsed. The western African country is now being hit with a malaria outbreak, and NGOs and charities are trying to take up the slack caused by the failed government system.  Mosquitos are rampant, and if they can spread a blood-borne disease like malaria then why not ebola?

In the former U.S. colony, survivors of ebola are being used to care for new victims, but only for three months.  Supposedly a survivor is immune to EVD for a short time of only three months.   However, doctors say the many survivors stick around treatment centers for the three months because they are no longer welcome by their fellow villagers.

A recent claim by the UN World Health Organization, that ebola cases are decreasing, has been shown to be a lie.  The United Nations admits the true reason why their ‘numbers’ are down is because they can’t get to all the clinics or villages, impeding their ability to do an accurate body count!  After all, the UN also says the death toll in Liberia is not decreasing.

Liberian Christian leaders say ebola is God’s punishment for homosexuals.  Isn’t that what Christian leaders said about AIDS?   The Liberian Christians are now using the UN WHO claim that cases are decreasing as proof of God’s “forgiveness”!

A Christian charity estimates that in the capital city of Monrovia they are trying to help at least 157 children now orphaned due to ebola.   Another charity reports they are dealing with 500 ebola orphans.  There are dozens of charities, each working with hundreds of ebola orphans in the Greater Monrovia Area.

Sierra Leone:  Officials are accusing Canada of racism for banning all travelers from the western African country (which is also a former British empire colony).

United States: “We had hoped this wouldn’t happen, We’ve done a lot of work to prepare for an Ebola case.”-Dave Underriner, Providence Health & Services

In the Pacific Coast state of Oregon, a woman visiting from Liberia is now in home quarantine.  She was self monitoring when she noticed a spike in her temp.  She was released from the hospital, into the care of a family who will keep her under quarantine until blood tests results are in.  Officials say the woman claims she hasn’t come into contact with anybody infected.

REVOLUTION IN BURKINA FASO…..IS THIS ABOUT EBOLA, OR THE OIL?

Update, 27 October 2014

International, U.S.

Ebola Update, 27 October 2014: Japan has 1st ebola case? Obama signs executive order for Medical Martial Law, then accuses news media & state officials of fear mongering!

Japan: A Canadian reporter (Japan’s NHK first reported him as a Japanese reporter), who flew from western Africa to Europe and then onto Japan, arrived at Tokyo International Airport with a fever and other signs of EVD.  He is now in quarantine, medical officials the results of an initial blood sample are negative for ebola.  The reporter made stopovers in Belgium and United Kingdom on his way home to Japan, he had spent two months in Liberia.

The news broke as prime minister Abe Shinzo ordered an emergency meeting to discuss ebola as a threat to national security!  Supposedly that meeting is not connected to the quarantined reporter.

It’s also convenient that Fujifilm announced they would buy Texas based Kalon, to help mass produce an experimental influenza drug for use against ebola (it’s called Avigan aka Favipiravir)

United States:  In a typical example of talking out of both sides of your mouth at the same time the leader of the supposed ‘free world’, Barack insane Obama, is now chastising state officials (several states now have mandatory quarantine for anybody coming from western Africa) and news media outlets for fear mongering about ebola.  Obama is specifically targeting news reports, insinuating that most are rumors and innuendo.

But wait, the overwhelming  number of reports from news sources are simply quoting health officials, and government officials including Barack Obama.

Florida has joined Illinois, New Jersey and New York in quarantining anybody from countries designated by the U.S. CDC as EVD hot zones.  That’s a fact, not a rumor mister president.

New York has just quarantined a five years old boy, that’s a fact mister president, not a rumor.  Initial blood tests show no EVD.

A nurse, who is not sick, quarantined in New York is now suing the state for treating her like a criminal in solitary confinement, she doesn’t even have access to a shower!  That’s a fact, not a rumor!

So far, everybody who’s gotten sick inside the United States has had all their possessions seized by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention and then incinerated!  That’s a fact!

Recently Obama stated “First, you cannot get ebola easily. You can’t get it through casual contact with someone…”

If this is true why are so many healthcare workers, who’re using ebola treatment protocols, getting sick?   Why did the U.S. CDC revise their protocols saying 100% of your skin must be covered while treating people with ebola filovirus?  Why are so many relatives in western African countries getting sick from what appears to be ‘casual’ contact?  Why did two nurses in Dallas, Texas, get sick when both swear they were following ‘protocols’ and did not come into contact with bodily fluids of the man that died?  It was because of these facts that the U.S. CDC changed their protocols.  Those U.S. citizens who survived EVD did so because they underwent immediate and intensive treatments, the man who died did not.  In fact he was actually misdiagnosed, then later on had treatment delayed and was actually treated with a drug for pox viruses!  In other words, if you don’t get immediate treatment you will die, that’s a fact, not a rumor.

Obama also said “We have to keep leading the global response…”

Fact: The U.S. is not the one leading the global response, that would be Cuba!   Obama sends in 4-thousand combat troops to build military airbases and military hospitals, while thousands of west Africans get sick and die, yet Cuba has sent hundreds of medical personnel with great success where ever they operate.  In fact, Obama has accepted Cuba’s offer of help!     I’ve asked this before, why aren’t any of the Cuban medical personnel getting sick, unlike the privately funded U.S. and European medics working for NGOs and religious groups?

Obama said “We have to stop it at its source, in West Africa…”

Fact: Nobody knows the ‘source’!  The first case was documented in Guinea at the end of 2013, then it showed up almost overnight in Liberia and Sierra Leone. There have been claims that the first ebola victim in Guinea got sick by eating infected meat, however the fact is that’s pure speculation, no proof of such a claim has been presented!  I’ve postulated that it’s connected to the GMO United Nations food aid that was literally forced upon those countries at the beginning of 2013.  Even Liberians made that claim.  Don’t forget ZMapp anti-ebola drug is made with GMO tobacco infused with ebola filovirus.

Obama said “We have to be guided by facts, not fear…”

Fact: Barack Obama signed an executive order activating Department of Defense Reserve units, and deployed 4-thousand combat troops to western Africa, declaring EVD was a matter of national security.  That sounds like fear mongering to me!

Fact: Florida, Illinois, New Jersey and New York state governments have ordered mandatory quarantines for anybody coming from ebola hot zones overseas, sounds like fear mongering to me! (realize that if somebody got off a plane, and was infected, that means the airliner’s air circulation system along with all other passengers and crew could be infected as well. So why not quarantine everybody, mister Cuomo, Christie, Scott and Quinn?)

Fact: Even CDC officials realized they don’t know squat about this new strain of ebola.  They’ve changed their ‘protocols’.  Front line medical personnel, and even the governors of New Jersey and New York, question the competency of the exalted CDC.  Frontier Airlines expressed frustration over what they should do with the airliner that was contaminated by the infected nurse, because the CDC doesn’t know what to do with it! (on 15 October the CDC finally issued “interim guidelines” for airlines)

Fact: It’s government officials, including Barack Obama, who are doing the fear mongering!

Update, 25 October 2014: Get sick, lose all your possessions!

International, U.S.

Ebola Update, 25 October 2014: Get sick, lose all your possessions! New birth control; Ebola is an STD! Got breast milk? Urine is not sterile! Korea bans Chinese! Unconstitutional Medical Martial Law has official title; Operation United Assistance!

“China has good systems and capacity in place to respond quickly should any case or possible case of Ebola be detected here.”-Bernhard Schwartlander, UN World Health Organization

China: Officials are spending an additional $82-million USD to fight ebola.  It’s the fourth time China has spent big bucks, despite criticism  from  ‘western’ countries who so far have only sent combat troops.

In Guangdong Province, random public health screenings have been stepped up, due to the fact that there is a large population of people from western Africa in the province.  The city of Guangzhou has designated seven hospitals as ebola treatment centers.

European Union:  France is now expanding their ebola checks from airports to boats and any other forms of mass transit coming into the country.  Since June, French health officials have investigated 480 possible cases of EVD.  So far all were negative.

Researchers in England, United Kingdom, now think the Medieval plague know as Black Death was not a bacteria, but a form of ebola virus!  The researchers say the spread rate of the Black Death was too fast for a bacteria.

Japan: Officials at all 30 international airports are conducting medical surveys to single out anybody from western Africa, or anybody who’s been to western Africa.

A Japanese surgical mask maker called Clever has donated 10-thousand masks to western African countries.  They report they are now getting requests from the EU country of France, and the U.S. city of New York.

Korea (DPRK): All travelers from China are now banned due to ebola fears.   It was Chinese travel agencies that revealed the Medical Martial Law by ‘North’ Korea.

Mail: The northern African country’s first victim died.  Reports are confusing, some say the two years old girl got infected while attending a funeral in Guinea, with her grandparents.  Another report says her father died from EVD.  It was a nurse who detected signs of ebola in the girl.  43 people in Mali are now under quarantine, most are healthcare workers.  Unconfirmed reports say the girl’s mother is now infected.   Mail is also a country where fierce battles have raged for years between pro-U.S.-European Christians and independence minded Muslims, who are fighting over who will control recently discovered oil reserves (which just happen to be in Muslim territory).

Mali was a French colony, and there are French military units in-country, under the guise of fighting terrorism.

Mexico: Health officials are handing out ebola warning pamphlets and posting signs at border crossings and airports.  About 90% of healthcare workers are undergoing ebola training.  21 people from western Africa were detained, but later declared free of ebola.

United States: The Center for Disease Control and Prevention revealed that ebola filovirus is also a Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD)!   CDC officials say EVD can be passed on through sexual intercourse for three months after a person has been declared ebola free!  It’s based on their interviews with the New York doctor who is sick in quarantine.  Health officials are not sure if the doctor had sex with his fiancee, but she is being medically monitored.

The UN World Health Organization has been warning that EVD can survive in semen for at least 70 days after a person is considered cured!  The UN WHO also says ebola can survive for a long time in urine (killing the myth that urine is sterile, all you sicko urophilics out there) and breast milk!

The states of Illinois, New Jersey and New York announced they will automatically quarantine all medical personnel returning from countries experiencing ebola outbreaks. This after a sick doctor returned from Guinea, and traveled around the Big Apple for a week before being hospitalized. Also, anybody who has had contact with sick people in Africa will be quarantined.

In Texas, the U.S. Army’s San Antonio Military Medical Center began training the new Ebola Rapid Response Team.  These Teams are meant for domestic Medical Martial Law use.

Barack Obama issued the order last week, commanding all Reserve military units to prepare for implementing the Medical Martial Law called Operation United Assistance.   Many main streamer news sources reported that this includes the activation of National Guard units for deployment to western Africa, this is not so, it is for enforcement of domestic Medical Martial Law.

For one,  National Guard personnel have already been involved in U.S. operations in western Africa for some time now (at the beginning of October Kentucky’s 123rd Contingency Response Group was sent to Senegal, ostensibly to set up an “airbase” for fighting ebola, and South Carolina militias are about to be deployed to western Africa).

Number two, it is unConstitutional for the President to activate National Guard units to fight a disease.  Article I, Section 8, Clauses 15-16 clearly list three reasons for activating state militias (“to execute the laws of the Union, suppress insurrection and repel invasions”), and fighting diseases is not one of them.  If you read the executive order Obama is not activating National Guard units (which are technically state militias) he is ordering the call up of Regular Army, Air Force, Navy and Marines Corp Reserve units.  Reserve units are directly tied to federal Active Duty units.

However, a few more reasons why the news media is reporting that National Guard units are part of Operation United Assistance is because the following states revealed they are prepping for it:

The state of Virginia has complied with the Obama regime’s questionable executive order and placed its Air and Army militias (National Guard) on standby in case of a domestic ebola outbreak.

West Virginia: “First responders, health department folks, military, and law enforcement, all of those agencies are working together to prepare for the Ebola threat.”-Major General Jim Hoyer, West Virginia National Guard

The state of Wisconsin is ordering cooperation between National Guard units and local hospitals and fire departments: “We are currently putting together two teams of approximately 10 individuals made up of physicians, physician assistants, nurses and some support personnel.”-Major Paul Rickert, Wisconsin National Guard

There is a belief that infected people cannot spread the filovirus until they are showing symptoms.  But you have to wonder why so many healthcare workers, who are following protocols, are getting sick.

Warning, if you get sick with ebola prepare to lose all your life long possessions.  So far everybody who’s gotten sick in the U.S. has had all their possessions seized by the CDC and incinerated!   Everything that isn’t literally nailed down!

Martial Law U.S.A.: Operation Bold Shift, state militias now under direct control of federal government? Proof of never ending war!

24 October 2014 (15:59 UTC-07 Tango)/29 Dhu l-Hijja 1435/02 Aban 1393/01 Jia-Xu (9th month leap) 4712

“The Guard and Reserve are critical in order to ensure that the American people are linked-in to the operations that are being conducted. Operationally, we cannot execute sustained operations overseas unless we have the Guard and Reserve…….I have to get after this new mission set. We don’t know when we’ll have to deploy next.”-General Mark Milley, ForsCom (ForceS Command)

The U.S. Army has launched operation Bold Shift, which brings what was once a state controlled militia, the Army National Guard (ANG), under direct Regular Army (RA) control.  (the Army Reserve is already under direct control of the RA)

RA officials claim it will make training more efficient, supposedly saving money, but the goal is really about prepping the ANG for immediate deployment rather than spending months in pre-deployment training.

There will be an increase in Guard militiamen and women training at the Army’s National Training Center (NTC) at Fort Irwin, California, or the Joint Readiness Training Center (JRTC) at Fort Polk, Louisiana.

RA units will be permanently paired with ANG units.

Recently Idaho’s Orchard Training Area (OTA) was the site of a return to ‘Total Force’ combat training.

This can only mean that the U.S. Department of Defense believes that there are even bigger wars to come.

International, U.S.

Ebola Update, 23 October 2014: NYC doctor has ebola! U.S. accepts help from Cuba! U.S. hospitals rebelling against U.S. CDC? Says CDC issuing vague protocols, in frustration hospitals will refuse treatment! U.S. healthcare system regressing!

“This is another example of how this 21st century viral threat has pulled us back into the 19th century.”-Howard Markel, University of Michigan

Despite the fact that communist China has sent 10-thousand vaccines to western Africa, the UN World Health Organization announced they will begin experimenting with vaccines in western Africa, as if the Chinese vaccines don’t exist.  Of course the UN WHO vaccines that will be tested are produced by capitalist North American and European companies.  In other words, there’s a vaccine war going on!

Burundi: The African country is sending medical personnel to Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea, saying it’s a matter of national security: “The Ebola virus is more than a health issue, but also a security issue.”-Sabine Ntakarutimana,  Public Health and AIDS Control Minister

Botswana: The African country promises to donate medical supplies and money in the global fight against ebola.

Cuba: Cuban news media blames the out of control EVD (Ebola Virus Disease) outbreak in the former(?) U.S. colony of Liberia on intense poverty.

Germany: The Federal Ministry of Education and Research promises to spend an additional $6-million USD to fight ebola.  Apparently this is on top of the German government’s promise, last Friday, to spend $107-million fighting EVD!

Kenya:  The African country is training up 30-thousand medical personnel to fight ebola: “…the Ministry of Health would like to assure members of the public that the government is on high alert and has put in place measures to prevent any possible outbreak of Ebola.”-Nicholas Muraguri, Ministry of Health Director of Medical Services

Liberia: 51 medical personnel from the Caribbean country of Cuba have arrived.

Slovenia: The European country says it’s ready to take on EVD: “If the ebola virus appeared here, we guarantee that the people would be taken care of.”-Milojka Kolar Celarc, Health Minister

Suriname: The South American country has banned people from Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea.

United States: A doctor in New York City is now under quarantine, with symptoms of ebola.  He recently returned from Guinea, where he was working for Médecins Sans Frontières.  I’ve posted before that the UN WHO says quarantine days should be 42, not the 21 the U.S. CDC is pushing.  It was Médecins Sans Frontières who notified the New York City Department of Health & Mental Hygiene about the sick doctor.

The New York Times reporting that the Obama regime has relented and agreed to accept help from Cuba!  The newspaper cites the Department of State for the information.

And more proof ebola could be a False Flag op to justify Medical Martial Law; U.S. Army 4 star General Martin Dempsey just stated that ebola is the new biggest threat to U.S. national security, and admitted that the deployment of combat troops to western Africa was not about medical care, saying “…the mission in West Africa will not include direct care to patients…Domestically we will also have a team of medical experts to assist civilian healthcare professionals….” 

Texas Health Presbyterian, the hospital that unsuccessfully treated the man that died, and subsequently experienced a mass exodus of patients, reports they’ve lost $8.1-million since the beginning of October as a result.

The Texas Medical Association (TMA) have issued their own protocols for private practice doctors, regarding EVD.  This is because they believe the protocols issued by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) are too vague!

The TMA is telling doctors to perform over the phone diagnosis, rather than have sick people coming into their office.

Connecticut doctors warn that the CDC protocols apply only to people taken down by ebola, not people still well enough to walk around on their own: “The CDC has had a good deal of guidance on the hospital environment, but less about the ambulatory environment; there’s been little guidance on that score.”-Rocco Orlando the 3rd, Hartford HealthCare

“Most of the information that has been disseminated is about containment at a hospital, but what we’re going to see in most cases is someone showing up in a physician’s office first, and physicians’ offices don’t have the equipment necessary.”-Matthew Katz, Connecticut State Medical Society

Reuters reporting that at least three major healthcare providers in the U.S. are considering to outright refuse treatment to people suspected of having ebola filovirus: “…discussions about adopting policies to withhold care in Ebola cases are under way at places like Geisinger Health System, which operates hospitals in Pennsylvania, and Intermountain Healthcare, which runs facilities in Utah…”

Back in Connecticut, reports say at least nine people are quarantined for possible ebola infection.  State officials refused to give details, but said the people had been to western Africa.

Operation Climate Change: “Politics or ideology must not get in the way…” U.S. DoD reveals ‘climate change’ is all part of a plan for global domination!

20 October 2014 (06:17 UTC-07 Tango)/25 Dhu l-Hijja 1435/28 Mehr 1393/27 Jia-Xu 4712

“In our defense strategy, we refer to climate change as a ‘threat multiplier’ because it has the potential to exacerbate many of the challenges we are dealing with today – from infectious disease to terrorism. We are already beginning to see some of these impacts.”-2014 Climate Change Adaption Raodmap

The U.S. Department of Defense announced new plans to use ‘climate change’ for domestic martial law and to expand the U.S. empire.

The DoD issued a 2014 Climate Change Adaption Roadmap report stating that climate change is now a threat to U.S. national security and that U.S. officials must be prepared to invade and occupy other countries under the guise of saving them from the wrath of Mother Earth, and the DoD issued a warning to ‘elected’ officials: “Politics or ideology must not get in the way…”

The immediate goals of the DoD are:  “….enhance collaboration within the Department itself, across the Federal Government, and with external entities that include partner nations, non-­‐government organizations, and the private sector.”  

“…to train and test…”

“…collaboration with internal and external stakeholders will be required…”

“Collaboration with the private sector, including major manufacturing, supply, and transportation corporations…”

Ebola Update, 20 October 2014: “I don’t see a light at the end of the tunnel” U.S. DoD forms special Medical Martial Law teams! ObamaCare insurance reforms forcing sick people to go to ill equipped clinics! Medical Martial Law as cops start killing ebola victim’s pets!

Despite China having hundreds of medical personnel in western Africa, sending 10-thousand experimental vaccines and giving three western African countries $6-million in food aid, the evil UN World Health Organization just accused the people of China of not doing enough!

Liberia: Daniel Lucey, medical doctor and professor from Washington DC’s Georgetown University serving a tour with Medecins Sans Frontieres, backs up independent journalist claims that things are snowballing downhill: “I don’t see a light at the end of the tunnel, the epidemic is still getting worse.”

United Kingdom: Oxford based international terror group disguised as charity Oxfam declared that ebola filovirus is the “definitive humanitarian disaster of our generation”, and then demanded more taxpayer funding from the European Union.

United States: In Texas, the Carnival cruise ship, with the Dallas nurse onboard, docked in Galveston.

Galveston is also were the medical waste of ebola victims are being incinerated.

It’s been revealed that Obama Care (Affordable Care Act) insurance reforms are forcing sick people, who’ve been in contact with ebola victims, to go to ill equipped clinics instead of hospitals.

Recently a Dallas County deputy, who inspected the apartment of the man who died from ebola, got sick and rushed himself to an urgent care clinic.  Insurance industry written Obama Care actually penalizes people for going to a hospital.

A similar thing happened in Boston Strong, Massachusetts.  David Weber, an epidemiologist at the University of North Carolina’s hospital, says sending people with potentially infectious diseases to clinics is the wrong thing to do because clinics are “…an even less controlled situation.”

In Mississippi, ignorant parents pulled their kids out of school after they learned a teacher had been to Zambia.  So far there is no ebola outbreak in Zambia, but for some reason many Mississippians think all of Africa is a giant EVD hot zone!

The incompetent U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have announced their ‘new’ ebola protocols, now saying absolutely no skin should be exposed on medical personnel treating ebola victims.

The U.S. Department of Defense announced they are creating special 30 person medical martial law teams, that will be deployed inside the United States to ‘aid’ civilian authorities!

Spain: A nurse who survived ebola is now outraged, because while she was in the hospital paranoid police state officials killed her dog, out of an unconfirmed fear that the dog was infected.  Almost a decade ago doctors in central Africa claimed that dogs were getting infected by eating the dead bodies of ebola victims.  However, Spanish officials didn’t bother to quarantine or test the nurse’s dog before killing it.

Her husband posted a video to the internet saying the Spanish government’s response to ebola is “lousy”!  At least 390-thousand Spanish people are protesting the dog’s death at the hands of a police state.

“People are scared. I’ve seen people crying. You’re using the same buffet line as someone else….It’s really difficult to control any type of virus that’s on a cruise ship. It’s like a floating petri dish. It spreads very rapidly.”-Jon Malone, Carnival Magic passenger

The cruise ship that became the unfortunate carrier of a female nurse that was involved in handling the medical samples of the man that died in Dallas, Texas, is now being described as a “floating petri dish” by passengers.

A British empire news report has revealed that the ship has been essentially quarantined in the western Caribbean.  The report says passengers knew something was up when the ship apparently wasn’t moving for about four days.

The nurse was, for some reason, allowed to go on the Carnival cruise to Belize just days after the ebola victim died.

On 18 October, a U.S. Coast Guard helicopter was dispatched to the cruise ship, to pick up a sample of blood from the nurse.  Cruise line officials claim the nurse is not showing any signs of infection.   This goes against early reports that said the Obama regime tried to get the woman off the ship in Belize, because she was sick, only to be rebuffed by the Belizean government.

On 17 October, Mexico refused to allow the the ship to dock at Cozumel.

Canada: The British empire’s Great White North claims they have an anti-ebola vaccine.  Health officials say the vaccine is ten years in the making (and involves U.S. companies), and seems to work on non-human animals: “Canada views this experimental Ebola vaccine as a global resource and in the interest of global public health, we are sharing it with our international partners to help address the Ebola outbreak in West Africa.”-Rona Ambrose, Canadian Health Minister

China: Chinese State Councillor Yang Jiechi and U.S. Secretary of failed State John Kerry agreed to enhance cooperation on fighting ebola filovirus.

China’s National Health and Family Planning Commission has ordered all health districts to prepare for EVD in China.

China is in the middle of a dengue fever epidemic.  More than 36-thousand cases, so far. The worst form of dengue is like ebola; hemorrhagic.

Cuba: “We will gladly cooperate with American personnel in that task (the fight against Ebola), and not in search of peace between the two states that have been adversaries for so many years but, in any case, for peace in the world, a goal that can and should be attempted. The medical personnel who heads anywhere to save lives, even at the risk of losing theirs, are the greatest example of solidarity that a human being can offer, especially when one is not driven by material interest.”-Fidel Castro

United Kingdom: A report by thegaurdian’s globaldevelopment byline (which just happens to be funded by the population control freaks known as Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation) says a former Sierra Leone journalist just returned from Liberia, and he says the death toll is far worse than what’s being reported by Liberian officials.

He also said that cremation of dead infected bodies has been ordered, but the families are refusing to follow through as it goes against their culture.  The in-depth report will air on Al Jazeera English on 12 November.

The queen’s Royal Army is sending 3-thousand Red Coats to Sierra Leone.  General Nick Carter says the combat troops will be used to help enforce a military lockdown of the entire country (Martial Law), if necessary!  An unnamed Ministry of Defence official slipped up and intimated biological warfare was afoot: “From a military perspective ebola is like a biological warfare attack and should be countered accordingly. There needs to be a clampdown on human movement inside Sierra Leone and possibly to and from the country between now and late 2015 when it is hoped that an antidote will have been developed.”

United States: Frontier Airlines officials have now released a list of 800 passengers who rode on the same aircraft that a infected nurse rode on. That nurse is now in quarantine in Atlanta, Georgia. The 800 airline passengers are being told to contact the incompetent U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The Christian Texas Presbyterian Hospital is reportedly now a “ghost town”. The death of a man infected with ebola, after his seemingly incompetent handling by hospital staff, has resulted in people avoiding the hospital like the plague.

In Dallas, a bus and train station was locked down an decontaminated after a sick woman apparently spit and threw up. She was reported to have lived in the same apartment building as one of the infected nurses. Amazingly, after all the panic, Dallas Area Rapid Transit officials then said the woman was not a threat because she is not on the official ebola watch list.

There are reports that more and more U.S. hospitals are taking it upon themselves to impose their own protocols for handling ebola.

At New York’s JFK Airport you to can become an ebola screener, for only $19 per hour!

The Wall Street Journal reporting that many of your favorite food flavorings are going to get expensive, because they come from the very western African countries being shutdown by ebola: “There is no ‘Ebola clause’ that will easily cover companies in the supply chain. It’s a real gray area right now.”-Adam Rekerdres, Rekerdres & Sons Insurance Agency, which offers insurance for commodity suppliers and users

The man appointed by Barack Obama to be the Ebola Czar (with the authority to declare Medical Martial Law) is not experienced in medicine, Ron Klain is a Washington DC lawyer! It just goes from bad to worse.
