It was bound to happen, and it has; like Columbus, Ebola has made it across the Atlantic Ocean and discovered the New World. Of course, Ebola had the advantage of air travel, something that Columbus could only have dreamt about in his time.
Thomas Eric Duncan, the first Ebola victim to come to the United States, came here from Liberia, Africa, with plans to marry his long-lost sweetheart and be reunited with his son.
Whether he knew it or not, when he got on the plane in Liberia, he was already infected with the Ebola virus. He apparently contracted it carrying a sick pregnant women to and from a hospital. Supposedly, he didn’t know that what she was sick with was Ebola.
This whole story has been a disaster; one that shows us how woefully unprepared we are for this killer virus to arrive on our shores. When Duncan first went to the hospital, complaining about flu-like symptoms, they gave him some antibiotics and sent him home. That was after he told them that he had come from Liberia.
Why didn’t the hospital quarantine him then? Why didn’t they at least check him for Ebola? Here we are, in the middle of the worst Ebola outbreak in history and the hospital didn’t check a man who came from the middle of that pandemic.
Why? Because they still aren’t thinking that Ebola can come to the United States. It’s a problem over there in Africa, not here at home. That’s dangerous thinking (or maybe lack of thinking).
On his second visit to the hospital, he was admitted and put into quarantine. Several days later, his family came out publically, saying that nobody from CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) or the hospital had contacted them yet to tell them what to do. Hello! Will somebody wake up over there!
I’ve got to say; with this type of action going on, my confidence in our government to protect us from Ebola has dropped from low to non-existent; maybe even lower than that. I don’t care how many times the liar in chief commander in chief makes a speech saying that there’s nothing to worry about, I won’t believe him. There’s plenty to worry about; or at least to get ready for.
The Unspoken Truth
Besides Obama lying to us, we’ve got the CDC lying to us as well. They’ve said over and over again that Ebola “is not transmitted through the air.” All they are saying is that it is transmitted by “bodily fluids.”
What they aren’t saying though, is that it has been medically proven that it is transmitted by what is known as aerosol. By definition, aerosol, the droplets that go into the air from coughing and sneezing, is bodily fluids, specifically saliva and mucus.
In other words, while they are technically correct in saying that the virus can’t float around in the air, waiting for a victim to come along (that’s what “airborne” means), they aren’t telling us everything we need to know about how it can be caught. Duncan probably caught it via aerosol and then got on an airplane full of people to travel in a confined space for a long international flight.
The other dangerous thing the CDC is saying is that an Ebola patient is not contagious until they show symptoms. How do they define that? How bad do the symptoms have to be? With influenza, a patient is contagious two days before they have any symptoms at all. Why should we believe that an Ebola patient isn’t?
I don’t know about you, but there’s no way that I’m going to trust the CDC on this one. If there is any chance that someone has even been exposed to Ebola, I’m not going anywhere near them. Nor am I allowing them to come anywhere near me or my family. If they want to talk to me, they can do it long-distance.
Let me get back to Duncan. Besides however many hundred people were on that airplane with him, he was also around people in airports at both ends of his trip. Then there are the people he came to see, as well as the people in the hospital emergency room, as well as casual contacts with people in stores and other public places.
All in all, he could have had contact with several hundred or even a thousand people, any of whom can be infected. So far, government officials are monitoring about 80, checking them for signs of Ebola.
Considering that I live in Texas, that doesn’t make me feel all that comfortable. It’s certain that he had at least some sort of contact with several hundred people after becoming infected, but they’re only monitoring 80.
While those 80 might be the ones whom he had the most contact with, that doesn’t mean that he didn’t have enough contact with others to infect them. Since we don’t know, we should be playing it safe, not just monitoring those 80 people.
The United States could very well end up being the seventh country joining the Ebola pandemic. In that, we’d be joining Spain as one of the two countries outside of Africa where the disease has spread. I’ll have to say, that’s not a distinction that I think any of us want.
With all this bad news, I hate to get into what follows; but I believe it is of essential importance. During this last week, after Duncan’s case was announced in the media, ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria) stated that they are planning on infecting some of their people with Ebola and sending them to the United States as walking bio-bombs.
These people will be able to pass through airport checkpoints, just as Duncan did, because they won’t be symptomatic. But once they get to the U.S. they will become symptomatic and infect as many people as they can, before they are captured and quarantined.
I’ve already taken action to protect my family from Ebola. I’ve ordered protective equipment and am preparing my home in case we need to shut ourselves in. If the disease gets out of control here, that’s the only way I can make sure that my family will be safe, other than bugging out to a remote location in the wilderness.
What about you; what are you doing?

What about if a person infected with ebola SH*TS while on the airplane? The airport then empties the holding tank presumably into the local sewage system, where there are tons of yummy stuff for the ebola to feed on.
won’t work….temperatures are wrong and the virus would die. plus the sewage plants are treated with pretty harsh chemicals. Worked around these plants for years in some of the jobs I have been on.
The best site Ive seen for ebola advice and news is naturalnews.com CDC stands for Center for Decreasing Commoners
Or Center for Decreasing Caucasians. Or am I not allowed to say that?
What CDC is not talking about….and you haven’t considered….is that Ebola is carried by MOSQUITOES, too. And with the recent rains and flooding in Texas, there are BILLIONS of airborne carriers for Ebola in just the Dallas, Texas area. Yes, Ebola could kill 160 to 200 Million US citizens.
Quit fear mongering….it does NOT spread via mosquitoes….. My source? My daughter-in-law works with BioHazard level nasties in the BL level labs, including things like ebola.
You have to wonder if the liberal county judge and his 2 staffers who entered the Dallas apartment in street clothes to confer with “patient zero’s” relatives are being confined. And what about the contractors in street clothes who were hired to clean up “patient zero’s” vomit from the parking lot outside the apartment? Which, BTW, they simply power washed into the storm drain! Ever been around someone who was power washing something? The spray goes EVERYWHERE! I fear we’re in trouble, folks!
I am continually prepping food, water, suits, etc. but I am concerned; should we leave but where to go? I don’t live in a major city but still am concerned about marshall law even if we have taken all the precautions. Hope your books will answer all of my questions. Did not download because it’s a work computer.
Arrogance and politically correct foolish thinking.
It seems our government is bound and determined to get ebola firmly entrenched into our country.
I know how to make Colloidal Silver at home, for less than $30.00 for all the needed materials. IN fact, I have several Kits. Do You?
Ebola in the new world? YES. Want the rest of the story – the story behind the story?
The god of the Bible – YaHovah – tell us that Satin is the god of this world… for now anyway. One of the largest concentrations of devout followers of Lucifer is in the United Nations. One of their goals is to reduce the world population to 500 million using whatever means necessary. For your long term safety… read two “books” in the Bible… John and Romans.
Ebola is easily curable in hours with large doses of IV VIT “C”. Read Dr. Thomas Levy’s book – “Curing the Incurable.” On page 109 of the 3rd edition it talks about Ebola and the others like it. No problem to cure it but the FDA banned the only maker of Vit “C” from making the stuff. Only option is to make it at home (which is no big deal but you still need a way to inject it.) Can’t take enough by mouth to stop it once you have it but it works as a preventative measure to reduce the chances of catching it.
“Here we are, in the middle of the worst Ebola outbreak in history and the hospital didn’t check a man who came from the middle of that pandemic.”
Maybe. I’ve been looking at some interesting research that is re-evaluating the plague outbreak in the late middle ages. It may not have been Y. pestis (Bubonic plague) but some form of hemmorrhagic fever.
Ebola spreads by MLM style. Multi Level Marketing, I find 3, they find 3,,, they find 3 ,,, ad infinitum, Pres Obola will use this for something. Jesse Zhackksonn was in front of Presby Dallas preparing for a lawsuit and race war tactics again. Had this person NOT been african he would have been treated better and saved. Haven’t we all learned by now that it’s all about race?
So whom do we speak with in our local government, concerning what our county will do to protect the people? Ebola is in East Texas. We must stop the spread now, by what ever means necessary. It is apparent that neither our Federal Government, nor the CDC are going to protect us or even tell us the truth about how to protect our communities. Shelter in place seems inevitable. Certainly, I have considered cancelling travel plans to large cities. Any advice from professionals concerning this pandemic will be appreciated.
I work at a small town airport with currently one major airline (until mid December). With Ebola now in the US I wonder how to protect myself. Through I also am concerned every year about all the different diseases and illnesses that will and do make their way here.
