The Ebola Scare
The Ebola virus caused disease is not very contagious but relatively deadly. 40-70% of the Ebola infected people are likely to die from it. (That is not as deadly as life, mind you, as life has a total fatality rate of 100%.)
The early basic symptoms of an Ebola infection are similar to a flue. They also often occur without any infection at all. In the "western" world that is typically after the patient watched too much Ebola scare news on her favorite cable canal.
The means of infection are well known, in general body fluids of all kinds from an infected person will carry the virus. That knowledge alone will help enough to decrease the number of newly infected people as more are warned and protect themselves when caring for an infected person. The epidemic will thereby die out within a few weeks.
There is a positive aspect of the current scare. It will increase funding for research into a vaccine and it will at least lead to better treating methods.

1.) WEST AFRICA: WHAT ARE US BIOLOGICAL WARFARE RESEARCHERS DOING IN THE EBOLA ZONE?
by Jon Rappoport
http://www.globalresearch.ca/what-are-us-biological-warfare-researchers-doing-in-the-ebola-zone/5394582
——————–
This is a call for an immediate, thorough, and independent investigation of Tulane University researchers (see here and here) and their Fort Detrick associates in the US biowarfare research community, who have been operating in West Africa during the past several years.
What exactly have they been doing?
Exactly what diagnostic tests have they been performing on citizens of Sierra Leone?
Why do we have reports that the government of Sierra Leone has recently told Tulane researchers to stop this testing?
Have Tulane researchers and their associates attempted any experimental treatments (e.g., injecting monoclonal antibodies) using citizens of the region? If so, what adverse events have occurred?
The research program, occurring in Sierra Leone, the Republic of Guinea, and Liberia—said to be the epicenter of the 2014 Ebola outbreak—has the announced purpose, among others, of detecting the future use of fever-viruses as bioweapons.
Is this purely defensive research? Or as we have seen in the past, is this research being covertly used to develop offensive bioweapons?
For the last several years, researchers from Tulane University have been active in the African areas where Ebola is said to have broken out in 2014.
These researchers are working with other institutions, one of which is USAMRIID, the US Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases, a well-known center for biowar research, located at Fort Detrick, Maryland.
In Sierra Leone, the Tulane group has been researching new diagnostic tests for hemorrhagic fevers.
Note: Lassa Fever, Ebola, and other labels are applied to a spectrum of illness that result in hemorrhaging.
Tulane researchers have also been investigating the use of monoclonal antibodies as a treatment for these fevers—but not on-site in Africa, according to Tulane press releases.
Here are excerpts from supporting documents.
Tulane University, Oct. 12, 2012, “Dean’s Update: Update on Lassa Fever Research” (.pdf here):
“In 2009, researchers received a five-year $7,073,538 grant from the National Institute of Health to fund the continued development of detection kits for Lassa viral hemorrhagic fever.
“Since that time, much has been done to study the disease. Dr. Robert Garry, Professor of Microbiology and Immunology, and Dr. James Robinson, Professor of Pediatrics, have been involved in the research of Lassa fever. Together the two have recently been able to create what are called human monoclonal antibodies. After isolating the B-cells from patients that have survived the disease, they have utilized molecular cloning methods to isolate the antibodies and reproduce them in the laboratory. These antibodies have been tested on guinea pigs at The University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston and shown to help prevent them from dying of Lassa fever…
“Most recently, a new Lassa fever ward is being constructed in Sierra Leone at the Kenema Government Hospital. When finished, it will be better equipped to assist patients affected by the disease and will hopefully help to end the spread of it.” [The Kenema Hospital is one of the centers of the Ebola outbreak.]
Here is another release from Tulane University, this one dated Oct. 18, 2007. “New Test Moves Forward to Detect Bioterrorism Threats.”
“The initial round of clinical testing has been completed for the first diagnostic test kits that will aid in bioterrorism defense against a deadly viral disease. Tulane University researchers are collaborating in the project.
“Robert Garry, professor of microbiology and immunology at Tulane University, is principal investigator in a federally funded study to develop new tests for viral hemorrhagic fevers.
“Corgenix Medical Corp., a worldwide developer and marketer of diagnostic test kits, announced that the first test kits for detection of hemorrhagic fever have competed initial clinical testing in West Africa.
“The kits, developed under a $3.8 million grant awarded by the National Institutes of Health, involve work by Corgenix in collaboration with Tulane University, the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases, BioFactura Inc. and Autoimmune Technologies.
“Clinical reports from the studies in Sierra Leone continue to show amazing results,” says Robert Garry, professor of microbiology and immunology at the Tulane University School of Medicine and principal investigator of the grant.
“We believe this remarkable collaboration will result in detection products that will truly have a meaningful impact on the healthcare in West Africa, but will also fill a badly needed gap in the bioterrorism defense.
“…The clinical studies are being conducted at the Mano River Union Lassa Fever Network in Sierra Leone. Tulane, under contract with the World Health Organization, implements the program in the Mano River Union countries (Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea) to develop national and regional prevention and control strategies for Lassa fever and other important regional diseases.
“Clinical testing on the new recombinant technology demonstrates that our collaboration is working,” says Douglass Simpson, president of Corgenix. “We have combined the skills of different parties, resulting in development of some remarkable test kits in a surprisingly short period of time. As a group we intend to expand this program to address other important infectious agents with both clinical health issues and threat of bioterrorism such as ebola.”
The third document is found on the Sierra Leone Ministry of Health and Sanitation Facebook page (no login required), dated July 23 at 1:35pm. It lays out emergency measures to be taken. We find this curious statement: “Tulane University to stop Ebola testing during the current Ebola outbreak.”
Why? Are the tests issuing false results? Are they frightening the population? Have Tulane researchers done something to endanger public health?
In addition to an investigation of these matters, another probe needs to be launched into all vaccine campaigns in the Ebola Zone. For example. HPV vaccine programs have been ongoing. Vials of vaccine must be tested to discover ALL ingredients. Additionally, it’s well known that giving vaccines to people whose immune systems are already severely compromised is dangerous and deadly.

2.) PROFESSOR ACCUSES US OF SPREADING EBOLA
The United States is responsible for spreading the deadly Ebola virus, claims a Liberian-born American professor Dr. Cyril Broderik
http://www.sowetanlive.co.za/news/2014/10/02/professor-accuses-us-of-spreading-ebola
—————-
Dr. Broderik claims that the United State Defence Department has genetically modified Ebola and have been testing it on humans.
Ebola has thus far killed about 3000 people in Africa since its first breakout in early May 2014.
Dr. Broderik is a professor of agriculture in a US state university and claims that Ebola is Genetical Modified Organism (GMO) and the US has selected certain African countries where they have been testing the effectiveness of the virus on people.
He said that Us must stop using Africans as guinea pigs when testing their researches.
“Reports narrate stories of the US Department of Defense (DoD) funding Ebola trials on humans, trials which started just weeks before the Ebola outbreak in Guinea and Sierra Leone,” wrote Broderik in a column on The Daily Observer.
According to Outbreak News Today, Broderick has urged African people and countries to pursue criminal and civil redress for damages against the U. S., Canada, France, and the U. K. for their “detestable and devilish deeds”.
The university has since distanced itself from Dr. Broderik’s claims, saying that his comments have nothing to do with any research the professor is doing at the university.
“The university is not going to abridge his First Amendment rights to give his opinion about the issues of the day,” said Carlos Holmes, a spokesman for the school.
“I’m not sure Dr. Broderick is doing research in this area. He’s a plant scientist and there’s no research like that relating with pathogens and viruses taking place in Delaware State University,” he added.

The initial round of clinical testing has been completed for the first diagnostic test kits that will aid in bioterrorism defense against a deadly viral disease. Tulane University researchers are collaborating in the project.
Corgenix Medical Corp., a worldwide developer and marketer of diagnostic test kits, announced that the first test kits for detection of hemorrhagic fever have competed initial clinical testing in West Africa.
The kits, developed under a $3.8 million grant awarded by the National Institutes of Health, involve work by Corgenix in collaboration with Tulane University, the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases, BioFactura Inc. and Autoimmune Technologies.
“Clinical reports from the studies in Sierra Leone continue to show amazing results,” says Robert Garry, professor of microbiology and immunology at the Tulane University School of Medicine and principal investigator of the grant.
“We believe this remarkable collaboration will result in detection products that will truly have a meaningful impact on the healthcare in West Africa, but will also fill a badly needed gap in the bioterrorism defense.”
Under the grant, Tulane is leading a three-year study designed to develop better tests for viral hemorrhagic fevers, which are caused by arenaviruses known to be potential bioterrorism agents due to their high fatality rate and ease of transmission from person-to-person.
The clinical studies are being conducted at the Mano River Union Lassa Fever Network in Sierra Leone. Tulane, under contract with the World Health Organization, implements the program in the Mano River Union countries (Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea) to develop national and regional prevention and control strategies for Lassa fever and other important regional diseases.
The Tulane work includes the enhancement of laboratory diagnostic capacity, surveillance and training in laboratory diagnosis, clinical management and infection and environmental control.
Dan Bausch, director of the Tulane program in West Africa, says, “These initial clinical test results have shown that it is possible to develop a detection system that will have a meaningful impact on the practice of medicine and quality of life in sub-Saharan Africa.”
The first patent application from the collaboration has been submitted to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. Darryl Sampey, chief executive officer of BioFactura, says, “This application is the first of many that we expect will come from the collaboration with Corgenix and the other parties.”
“Clinical testing on the new recombinant technology demonstrates that our collaboration is working,” says Douglass Simpson, president of Corgenix. “We have combined the skills of different parties, resulting in development of some remarkable test kits in a surprisingly short period of time. As a group we intend to expand this program to address other important infectious agents with both clinical health issues and threat of bioterrorism such as ebola.”

the asian tsuami, 2004
another *excercise * that turned *live* ?
prologue
1997
murcun soo larry cohen,
*Others [sic] are engaging even in an eco type of terrorism, whereby
they can alter the climate, set off earthquakes or volcanos remotely, through the use of electromagnetic waves.*
p.s.
if *others * are doing it, do u think the murcuns would be very far
behind ?
i’d say its a given that the murcuns were leading the pack !
six yrs later, we witnessed the *asian tsunami* !
typical m.o. of an muricun *humanitarian task force*……
*India completely converted the survey ship INS Nirupak into a 50-bed floating hospital in less than 72 hours, then sent it unarmed to help the desperate people of Aceh in Indonesia. . By direct comparison, America sent combat ships and armed Marines. The US Navy has two 1,000 bed hospital ships, the ‘Comfort’ and the ‘Mercy’, but neither one was dispatched. *
a freudian slip ?
Condoleeza Rice’s Unbelievably Arrogant “Profitable” Tsunami
At a recent Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing on her
appointment by Bush to the post of Secretary of State, Condoleeza
Rice declared that the tsunami constituted “a wonderful opportunity to show not just the US government, but the heart of the American
people.” “And I think it has paid great dividends for us,” she added.
many didnt believe its a natural disaster…
* on 29 December the India Daily Editorial publicly questioned the
nature of the event: “Was this a showdown by a country to show the
region what havoc can be created” … “Given the level of devastation and given the fact India is a regional power in South Asia, [the] Indian Navy has an obligation to investigate and tell the world *
*The French Government has shown an interest in this unbelievably
arrogant gaffe, with a former director of the French Government
“Centre National de la recherche Scientifique” putting to bed any
notion that the tsunami was a ‘natural event’. THe author, physicist Dr Jean Pierre Petit, provides some excellent photographs of American-occupied Diego Garcia, and predicts a very chilling future for America, if a similar ‘natural event’ should accidentally happen in the Canary Islands*
hmmm,
the ever ready nuclear strike humanitarian groups,
it almost looks like they had been standing by, !
*Needless to say the Australians were merely the advance party, soon
to be joined by a curiously well prepared and equipped U.S. Military, though it is doubtful that any of the officers and men involved really comprehend what is going on. Only a handful thought to question why they had been spending a whole year training for a “Humanitarian Mission”, when the whole point of the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps is normally to kill people in very large numbers. Just look at Fallujah, people, look at Fallujah*
As if by magic, the Pentagon managed to have two battle groups
ready to sail at an instant’s notice from Hong Kong and Guam during
the normally chaotic Christmas to New Year period. Crikey! Military
discipline has come a hell of a long way since my day, when everyone
including the ship’s cat was sleeping it off at some highly questionably hostelry or another. Not these 10,000+ Americans though, who must have been standing rigidly to attention beside their hammocks day and night, tugging furiously at their forelocks whenever an officer of NCO came in sight.
Now then, though ‘Strike Group 5’ may be toting enough nuclear
weapons to destroy half of the known world, and the title is perhaps
lacking when viewed from a strictly humanitarian perspective, engineer chief Staff Sgt. Julio C. Dominguez says otherwise: “The Marine Service Support Group has been preparing for a humanitarian mission of this type for about 12 months now, and is more prepared for an actual mission”. Well, OK chief, but didn’t you ask why you were being trained for a mysterious humanitarian mission a year before it actually happened, especially when your day job is normally shooting Muslims full of holes?
The really sneaky (inexplicable) bit came as both battle groups
entered the Indian Ocean. The USS Abraham Lincoln looked about as
innocent as a carrier with 70 attack planes can look, but was already carrying 2,000 marines instead of her normal complement of around 500. That is a huge amount of grunt firepower to put on the deserted streets of Banda Aceh, especially when Wall Street normally expects these marines to die quietly for Zion in Iraq. Now then, how did they know the extra marines would be needed before team one left Hong Kong, because the surplus 1,500 marines were certainly not just
standing around on Kowloon dock waiting to hitch a ride. *
cui bono ?
“Who is insane enough to kill more than 150,000 civilians just to hang on to power?” Based on their past performance in Iraq and other
luckless countries, it would seem that the only realistic candidates are Wolfowitz and company, striving as always to create a “One World
Government”
somebody tried to gag joe….
*Predictably perhaps, I remain permanently barred by American
multinationals including Yahoo and PayPal, and more recently have
had completely unacceptable restrictions placed on my web page
layouts and graphics by others, who for the present will not be named.
All seem intent on removing my content from the Internet completely,
or in gaining 100% editorial control over my work.*
was joe viall liquidated ?
joe vialls died of a mysterious *chest pain* soon after this article was written.

this is the second warning within a week from dr piot, the other father of ebola, who fought alongside dr william close and ostensibly save africa from the very first ebola outbreak in the 70’s. !
dr piot
*china, be afraid, be very afraid, ebola is gonna get u sooner , not later !!* [1]
if i were xi and co i would take this very seriously !
everybody is so bullish on the chinese getting the ebola bug,
http://opinion.inquirer.net/79434/china-at-most-risk-to-ebola-report-says
why coz *there’r many chinese workers in africa. thats why * !
makes perfect sense innit ?
well i look at it the other way round.
i do think the chinese will very likely be hit….why they are the
target forchrissake !
follow the chinese………….
*Dreyfuss’ article suggests that Cheney (and thus, the administration) sees China as the biggest long-term threat to those interests. If conflict with China is inevitable, it makes sense to have U.S. bases in Afghanistan, Kyrgyzstan, Iraq and maybe Iran and Syria. If China is dependent on Middle East oil, it makes sense for the U.S. to be able to control how and where it flows from the Caspian Sea and Persian Gulf oil fields. It makes sense to cultivate an alliance with India, risking the accusation of nuclear hypocrisy in doing so. It makes sense to ratchet up tensions on the Korean Peninsula, by linking North Korea to Iran and Iraq, calling it “evil,” dismissing South Korea’s “sunshine diplomacy” efforts and encouraging Japan to take a hard line towards Pyongyang. It makes sense to get Tokyo to declare, for the first time, that the security of the Taiwan Straights is of common concern to it and Washington. It makes sense to regain a strategic toehold in the Philippines, in the name of the War on Terror, and to vilify the growing
Filipino Maoist movement. It makes sense for a man like Cheney, who
decided on Bush’s staff in late 2000, to seed the cabinet with
strategically-placed neocons who have a vision of a new Middle East.
Because (1) that vision fits in perfectly with the broader New World
Order and U.S. plans to contain China, and (2) the neocons as a
coordinated “persuasion” if not movement, with their fingers in a dozen right-wing think tanks, and the Israel Lobby including its Christian Right component, and the academic community, are well-placed to serve as what Dreyfuss calls “acolytes.” [2]
it makes sense to balkanise sudan [3]
to target mali [4]
to attack yemen [5]
to take over libya [6]
to destabilise nigiera [7]
wtf is the god damned africom created for anyway ? [8]
*The initial goal of US domination of Africa is outlined in the AFRICOM documents, and names the eviction of China from the continent as task number one.*
from myanmar to the golden triangle to afpak to africa its the same
story…[11]
*The case in Burma, for those in power in the West, is very simple:
the Chinese out and fukus in!* [9]
*Obama Summons Africa to Washington to Talk Trade (and How to
Cut Out China)* [10]
like the man says, it aint rocket science, watson !
back to africa…..
*The crane, the earthmover and several heavy trucks sit idle in the
closed compound of China Civil Engineering Construction Co., a still-
life portrait showing how Ebola has paralyzed Africa’s biggest
investors. *
http://online.wsj.com/articles/ebola-fears-spark-china-pullback-in-west-africa-1413915515
and this just for starter……!
when this ebola shit really hits the fan , we’d soon see a mass exodus of chinese workers from africa back home, just like what
happened during the libya attack.
thirty thousand returnees, all possible ebola carriers, fanning out to every corner of china. hey beijing, we’ve got a problem !
dont forget guangdong already reported many ebola scares, thats
where a nasty dengue attack is currently raging on. imagine
trillions of tiny potential air borne carriers flying all over town !
this is the kind of nightmare that make u sit up in the middle of the night in cold sweat !
be afraid , china, be very afraid !

*A scientist who helped to discover the Ebola virus says he is
concerned that the deadly disease could spread to China, given the
large numbers of Chinese workers traveling to and from Africa.
Peter Piot, director of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical
Medicine, said Thursday it’s not “rocket science” that with many
exchanges between the two regions the disease could spread*
