The Manufactured Ebola Crisis

There’s a new meme taking over the news about how President Obama has stepped up to lead the country and the world in the fight against Ebola. El Paso Inc. provides an example. “In recent months, Obama caught criticism for going golfing immediately after speaking about the beheading of an American, and for attending a fundraiser after an airliner was shot down in Ukraine,” it wrote. “This time, as the Ebola threat hit home in America, the president suddenly cleared his schedule, canceling travel and appearances to consult with Cabinet members and talk with world leaders about how to contain the epidemic.” Wow, what a hero.

The only problem is this story is a travesty. Two months ago Ebola was a little known disease that made an occasional headline in the US when an outbreak occurred in Africa. The only reason it’s news today is the president who never wants to let a good crisis go to waste invited Ebola into the country because an outbreak in Africa wasn’t going to motivate Americans to surrender more of their freedom and money to Obama and his henchmen.

The most obvious way to protect Americans from Ebola would be to not bring people with Ebola into the country. That’s a standard response to any outbreak of disease, but instead of doing that, Obama intentionally brought two infected Americans into the country against the advice of the CDC director.

Airlines don’t want people with Ebola on their jets because they don’t want to help infect their passengers and crew for two reasons: they’re compassionate people, and it would cost them much money. This is standard operating procedure for a serious outbreak of disease, and countries around the world that have closed their borders to the hard-hit African countries remain Ebola-free. Yet US airlines continue to fly passengers from the inflicted areas into the US without testing them for the virus. It’s almost inexplicable unless Obama threatened them with civil rights prosecution for discrimination if they didn’t.

And Obama’s henchmen all lied to us about the ability of the US health care system to deal with Ebola. They lied to us about how it’s transmitted. They lied to us about pretty much everything.

For example, all government’s experts originally claimed Ebola couldn’t be transferred through the air. A few weeks later the CDC admitted it could be spread through a sneeze or cough. Joe Alton, M.D. tells the truth. “The well-known and respected Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy (CIDRAP) at the University of Minnesota recently notified the CDC and the World Health Organization that ‘there is scientific and epidemiologic evidence that Ebola virus has the potential to be transmitted via infectious aerosol particles,’” he informs. “For the first time, they include exhaled breath in their report.” So much for it not being airborne.

When the first Dallas nurse showed symptoms, Obama’s henchmen immediately, boisterously blamed her and the hospital for failing to follow protocol. Foxnews reported, “Top federal doctors acknowledged Sunday that a ‘breach in protocol’ resulted in a Dallas hospital worker getting Ebola while treating the country’s first patient and said changes in the handling of such cases are being made.”

This was a reflexive lie. It came out immediately even though the liars had no idea what had occurred. They promised to investigate to find the breach. Government tacitly admitted the lie when it quietly changed its protocols. The Huffington Post reports, ‘Dr. Anthony Fauci, head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said those caring for an Ebola patient in Dallas were vulnerable because some of their skin was exposed. … "So there were parts about that protocol that left vulnerability, parts of the skin that were open,’ Fauci said.” He didn’t admit fault or apologize for previously blaming the nurse.

As for how prepared our healthcare system was, now Obama’s henchmen want to build an Ebola hospital in every state. That’s an admission no state was prepared.

Obama will ask Congress to steal more money from taxpayers to fight Ebola, as if the hundreds of billions the government already wastes on politicizing health care aren’t enough. The Pentagon, of all organizations, is creating a rapid response team for domestic Ebola cases. The generals must plan to unconstitutionally lock Americans in Obama’s new, domestic Ebola hospitals and give forced vaccinations. Stealing our money and freedom is what this manufactured crisis was about from the beginning. Our rulers and their propagandists ratchet up panic while pretending to fight it.

The government can’t save us from Ebola, but private companies can. Despite knowing nothing about Ebola when the outbreak hit, Firestone in Liberia stopped it. Even government-funded NPR notes, “Firestone Did What Governments Have Not: Stopped Ebola In Its Tracks.” Obama might cut off NPR’s funding for that.

Please don’t fall for this evil scheme. Malnutrition, especially of selenium and vitamin C, makes people more susceptible to Ebola. Famine and malnutrition is why Ebola strikes in destitute African countries but rarely elsewhere. You won’t read that from government’s propagandists.

The US Disease Factory

Americans have been fooled into believing government and the health care system it controls prevents and cures diseases. Heck, the CDC’s full name is the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, so it must be true. But the Health Wyze Report makes an important point: “While some practicing doctors may be honorable people who seek to help others, their schools, organizations, and governmental agencies are all controlled by pharmaceutical companies which have less noble intentions. It is best for them if diseases are treated, but never cured. The trend is unmistakable. How many decades has it been since any honest effort was made at developing a cure for any disease? Was it polio? How long ago was that?”

This isn’t limited to pharmaceutical companies. All health care providers profit from having return customers instead of actually curing patients, and since government limits competition by controlling who can enter this market and what treatments they can prescribe, government ensures curing disease doesn’t happen. Anybody who breaks from the system and dares to try to cure disease is attacked by the health care police of the Food and Drug Administration exemplified by the FDA’s 15 year war against Dr. Stanislaw Burzynski and his treatment of cancer.

Government doesn’t prevent or cure disease. It uses disease as a tool, making it more likely Americans will develop disease and never cure it.  President Obama recently made this crystal clear. In an attempt to save lives from the outbreak of incurable Ebola in Africa, African nations are isolating the infection zone to prevent the disease from spreading. European and Asian countries are taking steps to prevent the disease from reaching their countries. This is the sensible and compassionate thing to do.

But US rulers are neither sensible nor compassionate, so instead of trying to prevent Ebola from reaching the US, Obama is intentionally flying two infected American medical volunteers working with the organization Samaritan’s Purse from Liberia to Atlanta. For the first time, Ebola is coming to the US, increasing the risk of infection to us all, and we can thank government for that.

The experts tell us there’s nothing to worry about. The Los Angeles Times coos, “Emory University Hospital said it will house its two Ebola patients in a state-of-the-art isolation unit on the hospital campus. The facility, only one of four of its kind in the country, was built in collaboration with the CDC, and is separate from other patient areas. The unit is outfitted with equipment that provides ‘an extraordinarily high level’ of isolation and ensures that its doctors and staff are highly trained in treating Ebola patients, according to a statement from the hospital.”

To paraphrase, we should just trust the CDC. They’re the experts of experts.

But Bloomberg tells a different story. “And just hours before [the rescue plane] took off from Georgia, Tom Frieden, the CDC director, was talking with journalists and gave no hint of the impending action. To the contrary, Frieden stated that such an intervention might be unwise,” Bloomberg wrote. “‘There is the potential that the actual movement of the patient could do more harm than the benefit from more advanced supportive care outside of the country,’ he said. At the same time, he said the CDC would work with Samaritan’s Purse ‘to facilitate whatever option they wish to pursue.’”

Sensible and compassionate, even the CDC didn’t want to bring Ebola into the US. Too bad. You might think there’s little risk because the CDC knows all the techniques to contain the virus, but over 100 health care workers who use the same techniques have contracted the virus so far including the two Americans bringing it back.

You might think those doctors made mistakes, and the CDC, because they’re the experts of experts, won’t make mistakes. Recently history suggests otherwise. Dr. Mercola reports, “At some point between June 6 and June 13, an estimated 75-84 scientists and staff members at a US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) biolab were exposed to live anthrax.

The live pathogen had been sent from another, higher-security facility, which failed to follow biosafety protocols.”

The supposed experts can’t protect their own employees, let alone the American people. And the mistakes don’t stop there. Mercola follows up, “Several weeks ago, scientists were shocked to discover a number of old, unapproved vials of the deadly smallpox virus in a ‘forgotten storage room’ on the National Institutes for Health (NIH) campus in Bethesda, Maryland. Now, they've reportedly uncovered a total of one dozen boxes containing nearly 330 vials of an array of pathogens, including dengue and spotted fever. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has the responsibility of overseeing the lab.”

The key to understanding this seeming insanity is recognizing the CDC is first and foremost a biological weapons factory. It doesn’t control or prevent disease. It weaponizes disease. Smallpox has long been eradicated in the wild, but US biological weapons scientists keep the deadly virus around as a weapon. No doubt the government is bringing Ebola to the CDC for military and political purposes, not compassion.

VA Scandals Never End

Veterans Administration (VA) scandals are as old as the VA. I can’t remember a president who didn’t have one. President Obama knows this. He criticized President Bush for a VA scandal. Despite the never-ending failures at the VA, Obama and his minions pushed the VA as a model for healthcare, via Obamacare, for all Americans. World Net Daily reports, “WND has discovered that during his transition into the White House in 2008-09, President Obama proposed in his ‘Obama-Biden’ plan to ‘make the VA a leader of national health care reform so that veterans get the best care possible.’”

In a representative piece quoted by Truth Revolt, Paul Krugman wrote with breathtaking dishonesty, “Multiple surveys have found the VHA [Veterans Health Administration] providing better care than most Americans receive, even as the agency has held cost increases well below those facing Medicare and private insurers…the VHA is an integrated system, which provides health care as well as paying for it. So it’s free from the perverse incentives created when doctors and hospitals profit from expensive tests and procedures, whether or not those procedures actually make medical sense.”

Ask Paul Krugman if he thinks Exxon should have a monopoly on oil and gas production, refinement, and delivery, and he will undoubtedly explain why monopolies are always a bad idea. Yet he claims a government monopoly on health care is better than a competitive system. Furthermore, the costs for the VA skyrocketed from $88.8 billion in 2007 to $123.5 billion in 2012.

This propaganda wins Nobel Prizes in upside-down world.

Obama played stupid when the news broke, like he had no idea of the problems at the VA. Like he wouldn’t keep on top of the model for his signature legislation. He probably ordered the cover-up and counted on his accomplice press to keep it quiet.

And the cover-up continues. The VA initially admitted 23 veterans died due to long waits for health care, but the Dayton Daily News discovered, “The VA paid $188.7 million to resolve claims where the description includes ‘delay’ of care — including $64 million paid for 304 cases that resulted in death.” That’s since 2001. And the VA is rife with corruption beyond long waits including falsifying records and leaving the bodies of vets unburied in morgues for over a year. The extent of corruption is unfathomable to most Americans because most Americans work in the private sector, but it’s typical of socialist programs. We just don’t hear about it much with other programs because they don’t leave vets sick and dead.

Krugman concluded, “Yes, this is ‘socialized medicine’…But it works, and suggests what it will take to solve the troubles of US health care more broadly.” You can’t make this stuff up.

With every new VA scandal comes calls for heads to roll to fix it. These calls are misguided.  Every socialized medicine system in the world has the same problems because the problem is inherent in socialism. Socialism can’t be fixed.

The root problem is socialism has no prices and no profits. The people in charge cannot perform economic calculation. Unable to do so, they can’t make rational economic decisions about providing their service. The VA could be run by the most intelligent, compassionate and experienced people in the world, and it would still be terrible because those people wouldn’t have the price information necessary to provide an effective service. Instinctively, people at the VA know this. That’s why they outsource some of their care to the fascist, misnamed private healthcare system. While greatly perverted by government to the detriment of consumers, the fascist system at least has prices and profits. Economic calculation can still be performed, making the system less bad.

Unable to perform economic calculation, socialists make rational decisions that advance their own interests based on other factors, mainly politics. Economist Ryan McMaken explains why government is obsessed with providing health care, “The reason for this of course is that by providing health care directly through VA health care and VA hospitals, government can more easily subsidize and favor certain corporations and other government contractors who provide drugs, equipment and services to VA providers. If veterans were simply given stipends, then the veterans themselves might choose the ‘wrong’ (i.e., not-politically-favored) providers. ...

“Consequently, the real constituents of the VA are the corporate providers of health care supplies and services, not the veterans themselves. So who can be surprised when we find that the veterans are being treated like garbage? ... Any intelligent VA official quickly figures out how to thrive in that system.”

You might think Speaker Boehner’s call to privatize the VA is good news, but don’t be fooled. As crooked as Obama, Boehner is playing politics too. The Republicans controlled the presidency and both houses of Congress for four years and did nothing to abolish the VA. When out of power, Republicans pretend to support smaller government to win votes, but when in power, they rule no differently than Democrats. Both parties profit from socialism, so both parties advance socialism at the expense of the people.

The US Disease-Care System

People frequently claim the US has the best health care system in the world, but the data says otherwise. United Press International (UPI) reports, “Switzerland leads a study of 34 nations for life expectancy at 82.8 years, followed by Japan at 82.7, Italy at 82.7, Spain at 82.7 and Iceland at 82.4.” As for the US: “Higher health spending per capita tends to be associated with lower mortality rates and higher life expectancy, but this is not the case for the United States. The relatively low life expectancy of Americans is particularly striking given how much they spend on their healthcare.” On average, Americans spend two and a half times as much money on healthcare compared to people in other advanced countries, but our life expectancy is the lowest of those countries.

One factor is Americans suffer more violent deaths, but the bigger reason is government intervention in our healthcare. Healthcare providers can’t make money off healthy people, but they make tons of money off sick people, so government perverts our healthcare system to keep people sick. The maze of federal, state and local regulations dwarf the regulations of other countries. The expense of FDA requirements makes it impossible for small companies to compete against Big Ag, Big Pharma and Big Medicine, by design. As a result, chronic illness in the US is, well, chronic. Our government-controlled healthcare system is just another looting program which makes Americans less healthy.

Dr. Terry Wahls learned this firsthand when multiple sclerosis (MS) crippled her. The Daily Beast documents, “By conventional standards, Dr. Wahls received great medical care. She had sympathetic doctors who prescribed cutting-edge drugs. Those drugs cost around $5,000 a week but are only marginally effective.”

Despite her supposedly excellent care, Dr. Wahls continued to get worse until she realized the truth about our healthcare system. “‘We’re not telling patients the truth—that medicines won’t make you well,’ Dr. Wahls says. Patients with multiple medical problems who have found themselves standing in the kitchen choking down pill after pill probably have an idea of what she is talking about. ‘Life is self-correcting chemistry,’ says Dr. Wahls. ‘If we fix the nutrition, this is the real way to address the root cause of most disease.’”

Ironically, Wahls cured herself by rejecting the healthcare system government trained her to practice. “So Dr. Wahls developed a diet that would provide the building blocks her broken cells needed. It’s a modified Paleo diet that entails eating 9 cups of vegetables a day—with plenty of meats, fish, organ meats, nuts, seeds, berries and adequate quantities of good fats—and it provides far more than the RDA [Recommended Daily Allowance] for the 31 key nutrients for the brain. With that diet and physical therapy, she soon began to improve. And after six months, she was able to ride her bike—something she hadn’t been able to do for a decade.”

Eating, taking supplements, and exercising as our bodies evolved to do prevents and cures disease, not government drugs. But there’s much more money to be made treating MS, diabetes, asthma, cancer etc. than there is in preventing or curing them. Our healthcare system is designed to mask symptoms and keep people sick. This is why Wahls calls our system a sick care system. It’s why diabetes in children is skyrocketing. Our government-planned economy doesn't export much, but it exports diabetes alongside the Standard American Diet (SAD).

A recent study discovered “Vampire therapy” could reverse aging. The Telegraph reports, “Now scientists have found that young blood actually ‘recharges’ the brain, forms new blood vessels and improves memory and learning. In parallel research, scientists at Harvard University also discovered that a ‘youth protein’ which circulates in the blood is responsible for keeping the brain and muscles young and strong.” Once again, government scientists rediscover something our ancestors always knew. The more government takes over our lives, the more backward we become.

Dr. Bill Sardi points to too much iron in the blood as a common cause of many chronic diseases associated with aging. He documents nearly 50 studies to back up his claim that the ancient practice of bloodletting could make people healthier and live longer. Sardi comments, “This medical procedure is not likely to ever achieve FDA approval for each and every one of the broad categories of human disease mentioned above. But it is safer than any FDA-approved drug or treatment, far safer than aspirin.” In fact, modern bloodletting is celebrated in the form of donating blood, which Sardi recommends, although the establishment doesn’t acknowledge the health benefits to the donor.

Sardi writes, “In reality the U.S. has the most technically advanced disease-care system in the world. It is not committed towards promoting health but rather to delivery of repeated treatment to allay symptoms rather than address underlying causes of disease. While the life expectancy in some backward nations exceeds that of the United States, it never dawns upon the public that they are being gamed to ensure Big Pharma and Big Doctor has a steady flow of patients to treat.”
