We’re
warned, now and then, that a new Ebola outbreak might be
spreading. It’s one of those Coming Attractions in the theater that
shows one virus movie after another.
In
this case, the fear-hook is the bleeding symptom. It makes people cower
in the dark. O my God, look at the BLOOD. It’s…THE VIRUS.”
Yahoo
News, 2/26/21: “…the World Health Organization reported a cluster of
Ebola cases in Guinea…The Biden administration is moving forward with
plans to screen airline passengers from two African countries arriving
in the U.S. for Ebola…”
Because
I do the work others won’t do…and because I covered the Ebola story in
2017 and 2014, here are essential quotes from my pieces during that
period---
There
is one predictable outcome: at Congo clinics and hospitals, frightened
people who arrive with what are labeled “early signs” of Ebola will be
diagnosed as probable cases. What are those symptoms? Fever, chill, sore
throat, cough, headache, joint pain. Sound familiar? Normally, this
would just be called the flu.
The
massive campaign to make people believe the Ebola virus can attack at
any moment, after the slightest contact, is quite a success.
People are falling all over themselves to raise the level of hysteria.
And
that is preventing a hard look at Liberia, Sierra Leone, and the
Republic of Guinea, three African nations where poverty and illness are
staples of everyday life for the overwhelming number of people.
The command structure in those areas has a single dictum: don’t solve the human problem.
Don’t
clean up the contaminated water supplies, don’t return stolen land to
the people so they can thrive and grow food and finally achieve
nutritional health, don’t solve overcrowding, don’t install basic
sanitation, don’t strengthen immune systems, don’t let the people have
power---because then they would throw off the local and global corporate
juggernauts that are sucking the land of all its resources.
In order not to solve the problems of the people, a cover story is necessary. A cover story that exonerates the power structure.
A cover story like a virus.
It’s all about the virus. The demon. The strange attacker.
Forget everything else. The virus is the single enemy.
Forget
the fact, for example, that a recent study of 15 pharmacies and 5
hospital drug dispensaries in Sierra Leone discovered the widespread and
unconscionable use of beta-lactam antibiotics.
These drugs are highly toxic. One of their effects? Excessive bleeding.
Which just happens to be the scary “Ebola effect” that’s being trumpeted in the world press.
(J
Clin Microbiol, July 2013, 51(7), 2435-2438), and Annals of Internal
Medicine Dec. 1986, “Potential for bleeding with the new beta-lactam
antibiotics”)
Forget
the fact that pesticide companies are notorious for shipping banned
toxic pesticides to Africa. One effect of the chemicals? Bleeding.
Forget that. It’s all about the virus and nothing but the virus.
Forget
the fact that, for decades, one of the leading causes of death in the
Third World has been uncontrolled diarrhea. Electrolytes are drained
from the body, and the adult or the baby dies. (Diarrhea is also listed
as an “Ebola” symptom.)
Any
sane doctor would make it his first order of business to replace
electrolytes with simple supplementation---but no, the standard medical
line goes this way:
The diarrhea is caused by germs in the intestinal tract, so we must pile on massive amounts of antibiotics to kill the germs.
The
drugs kill off all bacteria in the gut, including the necessary and
beneficial ones, and the patient can’t absorb what little food he has
access to, and he dies.
Along the way, he can also bleed.
But no, all the bleeding comes from Ebola. It’s the virus. Don’t think about anything else.
Forget
the fact that adenovirus vaccines, which have been used in Liberia,
Guinea, and Liberia (the epicenter of Ebola), have, according to
vaccines.gov, the following adverse effects: blood in the urine or
stool, and diarrhea.
Reporter
Charles Yates uncovered a scandal in Liberia centering around the
Firestone Rubber Plantation---chemical dumping, poisoned water.
And skin disease.
“Rash” is listed as one of the Ebola symptoms.
Then there is the Liberia Coca Cola bottling plant: foul black liquid seeping into the environment---animals dying.
Chronic
malnutrition and starvation---conditions that are endemic in Liberia,
Sierra Leone, and Guinea---are the number-one cause of T-cell depletion
(aka immune system suppression) in the world.
Getting the picture?
In email correspondence with me, David Rasnick, PhD, announced this shocking finding:
“I
have examined in detail the literature on isolation and Ems [EM:
electron microscope pictures] of both Ebola and Marburg viruses. I have
not found any convincing evidence that Ebola virus (and for that matter
Marburg) has been isolated from humans. There is certainly no
confirmatory evidence of human isolation.”
In other words, there is no evidence that the Ebola virus actually exists.
Rasnick
obtained his PhD from the Georgia Institute of Technology, and spent 25
years working with proteases (a class of enzymes) and protease
inhibitors. He is the author of the book, The Chromosomal Imbalance
Theory of Cancer. He was a member of the Presidential AIDS Advisory
Panel of South Africa.
The
real reasons for the “Ebola outbreak” include, but are not limited to:
industrial pollution; organophosphate pesticides (causes bleeding); vast
overuse of antibiotics (causes bleeding); severe and debilitating
nutritional deficiencies (which can cause bleeding); starvation; drastic
electrolyte loss; chronic diarrhea; grinding poverty; war; stolen farm
land; vaccination campaigns (in people whose immune systems are
compromised, vaccines can easily wipe out their last shreds of health).
What
about doctors and nurses in West Africa, who are treating Ebola
patients? These health workers are falling ill with “the dreaded
disease.”
Are they?
They’re
working in very high temperatures, in clinic rooms likely sprayed with
extremely toxic organophosphate pesticides. They’re sealed into hazmat
suits, where temperatures rise even higher, causing the loss of up to
five liters of body fluid during a one-hour shift. Then, recovering,
they need IV rehydration, and they are doused with toxic disinfectant
chemicals. They go back into the suits for another round of duty. One
doctor reported that, inside his suit, there was (toxic) chlorine. These
factors alone could cause dangerous illness and even death, and, of
course, the basic symptoms of “Ebola.”
The experts were expressing grave doubts about Ebola, all the way back in 1977. Right at the beginning of the hysteria.
The
1977 reference here is: “Ebola Virus Haemorrhagic Fever: Proceedings of
an International Colloquium on Ebola Virus Infection and Other
Haemorrhagic Fevers held in Antwerp, Belgium, 6-8 December, 1977.”
This
report is 280 pages long. It’s well worth reading and studying, to see
how the experts hem and haw, hedge their bets, and yet make damaging
admissions:
For
example, “It is impossible to consider the virological diagnosis of
Ebola virus infection loose [apart] from the diagnosis of haemorrhagic
fevers in general. The clinical picture of the disease indeed is too
nonspecific to allow any hypothesis as to which virus may be responsible
for any given case.”
Boom.
To
those who point out there is a history of hemorrhagic (bleeding) fevers
in parts of Africa, there is a history of horrendous malnutrition, one
aspect of which is scurvy, which causes bleeding from all mucous
membranes.
Bottom line: no need for a virus to explain the bleeding.
Then we have pesticides.
The
reference here is “Measuring pesticide ecological and health risks in
West African agriculture…” Feb. 17, 2014, published in Philosophical
Transactions of The Royal Society, by PC Jepson et al.
“The
survey was conducted at 19 locations in five countries and obtained
information from 1704 individuals who grew 22 different crops. Over the 2
years of surveying, farmers reported use of 31 pesticides…
“…certain
compounds represented high risk in multiple environmental and human
health compartments, including carbofuran, chlorpyrifos, dimethoate,
endosulfan and methamidophos.
“Health
effects included cholinesterase inhibition, developmental toxicity,
impairment of thyroid function and depressed red blood cell count…”
The
study also notes that “[p]esticide imports to West Africa grew at an
estimated 19% a year in the 1990s…well ahead of the growth in
agricultural production of 2.5%…” In other words, pesticides have
flooded West Africa.
Here
is another vital observation made in the study: “The distribution and
sale of pesticides in West Africa is not effectively regulated. Multiple
channels of supply commonly include the repackaging of obsolete or
illegal stocks [extremely toxic] and the correspondence between the
contents of containers to what is stated on the label is poor…”
Pesticide
suppliers conceal banned pesticides—which they are taking a loss on,
because they can’t sell them—and put them inside containers labeled with
the names of legal pesticide
Let’s consider the pesticides specifically mentioned in the study.
Carborfuran—According
to the New Jersey Dept. of Health and Senior Services’ Hazardous
Substance Fact Sheet, exposure to Carbofuran “can cause weakness,
sweating, nausea and vomiting, abdominal pain, and blurred vision.
Higher levels can cause muscle twitching, loss of coordination, and may
cause breathing to stop [imminent death].”
Chloropyrifos,
dimethoate, and methamidophos are organophosphates. The Pesticide
Action Network describes organophosphates as “among the most acutely
toxic of all pesticides…they deactivate an enzyme, Cholinesterase, which
is essential for healthy nerve function.”
Endosulfan is being phased out globally, because it is extremely toxic and disrupts the endocrine system.
These pesticides can and do produce a number of the symptoms called “Ebola:”
Bleeding, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, rash, stomach pain, coma.
But all this is swept aside in the hysteria about The Virus.
Here
is a quote from a study, “Potential for bleeding with the new
beta-lactam antibiotics,” Ann Intern Med December 1986; 105(6):924-31:
“Several
new beta-lactam antibiotics impair normal hemostasis [body processes
that stop bleeding]… These antibiotics often cause the template bleeding
time to be markedly prolonged (greater than 20 minutes)… dangerous
bleeding due to impaired platelet aggregation requires treatment with
platelet concentrates.”
Here is a summary from MedlinePlus:
“The
Clostridium difficile bacteria normally lives in the intestine.
However, too much of these bacteria may grow when you take antibiotics.
The bacteria give off a strong toxin that causes inflammation and
bleeding in the lining of the colon…Any antibiotic can cause this
condition. The drugs responsible for the problem most of the time are
ampicillin, clindamycin, fluoroquinolones, and cephalosporins…”
So let’s look at the level of antibiotic use in West Africa and the Third World.
Voice of America, February 26, 2014, “…antibiotics have become the automatic choice for treating a child with a fever.”
AAPS
(American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists): “For instance, in
most areas of West Africa, antibiotics are commonly sold as
over-the-counter medications.”
TWN
(Third World Network): “…a survey carried out in 1999 showed that
nearly one out of two antidiarrheal products in Third World countries
contained an unnecessary antibiotic…” [and chronic diarrhea in the Third
World is a leading cause of death, so you can be sure that these
antidiarrheal drugs are consumed in great quantities].
“…75
products (including some antibiotics) which had been pulled out or
banned in one or more European countries were identified in the Third
World in 1991.”
Of course, banned antibiotics would be exceptionally toxic.
In West Africa, antibiotic use is sky-high…and antibiotics do cause bleeding.
Bleeding where? In the digestive tract.
In light of that, consider the following excerpt from the healthgrades[dot]com article, “What is vomiting blood?”
“Vomiting blood indicates the presence of bleeding in the digestive tract…
“Vomiting
blood may be caused by many different conditions, and the severity
varies among individuals. The material vomited may be bright red or it
may be dark colored like coffee grounds…”
Yes,
it turns out that any source of internal bleeding in the digestive
tract---such as overuse of antibiotics---can cause a person to vomit
blood.
“The uniqueness” of “Ebola-blood-vomiting” is a fairy tale.
What else could cause the “Ebola” bleeding symptom in West Africa?
We
have the fact that organophosphate insecticides are being widely used
for indoor spraying, in West African homes and, surely, in clinics, to
kill mosquitos. One study reports: “With high DDT resistance present
throughout much of West Africa, carbamates and organophosphates are
increasingly important alternatives to pyrethroids for indoor residual
spraying (IRS).”
Among
the effects, from severe exposure to organophosphates: diarrhea,
tremors, staggering gait, blood disorders, death---all of which have
been described in reference to Ebola.
And
then there is this: “In nine patients suffering from organophosphate
intoxication, platelet function and blood coagulation parameters were
investigated…In five of nine patients a marked bleeding tendency was
observed. The bleeding tendency in organophosphate intoxication is
probably mainly caused by the defective platelet function.” (Klin
Wochenschur, Sept. 3, 1984;62 (17):814-20, author: m. Zieman)
Bleeding. Not from a virus.
What
about vaccines? A number of vaccination campaigns have been carried out
in West Africa. I have found no in-depth independent investigations of
the ingredients in these vaccines. But for example, a simple flu
vaccine, Fluvirin, carries the risk of “hemorrhage.”.
Several other routine vaccines can cause vomiting. The HiB, for example.
We
have this chilling report—From the (Liberian) Daily Observer, Oct. 14,
“Breaking: Formaldehyde in Water Allegedly Causing Ebola-like symptoms”:
“A
man in Schieffelin, a community located in Margibi County on the
Robertsfield Highway, has been arrested for attempting to put
formaldehyde into a well used by the community.”
“Reports
say around 10 a.m., he approached the well with powder in a bottle.
Mobbed by the community, he confessed that he had been paid to put
formaldehyde into the well, and that he was not the only one. He
reportedly told community dwellers, ‘We are many.’ There are agents in
Harbel, Dolostown, Cotton Tree and other communities around the country,
he said.”
“State radio, ELBC, reports that least 10 people in the Dolostown community have died after drinking water from poisoned wells.”
The
ATSDR (US Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry) in its
Guidelines for medical management of formaldehyde poisoning, lists these
symptoms: “nausea, vomiting, pain, bleeding, CNS depression, coma…”
There are other sources of poisoning in West Africa. Their components and effects need further investigation.
For example: Firestone.
For
nearly a century, the company has run a giant rubber plantation in
Liberia. According to one estimate, Firestone controls 10% of the arable
land in the country.
Aside
from the wretched living and working conditions of the locals, who tap
the trees for rubber, and bring their young children to work in order to
meet Firestone daily quotas, there is the issue of massive pollution.
From irinnews: “LIBERIA: Community demands answers on rubber pollution”:
“MONROVIA,
4 June 2009 (IRIN) – People living next to Firestone Natural Rubber
Company’s plantation in Harbel, 45km outside of Liberia’s capital
Monrovia, say pollution from the concession is destroying their health,
ruining their livelihoods and even killing residents.”
“Firestone’s Liberia rubber concession is the second largest rubber producer in Africa and employs some 14,000 Liberians.”
“Residents
of the town of Kpanyarh, just next to Firestone’s rubber plantation in
Harbel, say the creek from which they fish and drink their water in the
dry season has been contaminated with toxins.”
“’We
used to fish and drink the water,’ 67-year-old Kpanyarh resident John
Powell told IRIN on a visit to the creek which runs just outside the
town. He said the water became toxic in October 2008. ‘We can’t drink it
any longer. Some of our people have already died from this. We have
drawn Firestone’s attention to our plight but they have ignored it.’”
“In
mid-May on an IRIN visit to the area, acidic fumes emanating from the
creek caused people’s eyes to water and made it difficult to breathe.”
From
BBC News: “The three-month investigation found that a plant south-east
of the capital Monrovia was responsible for high [toxic] levels of
orthophosphate in creeks.”
From
laborrights[dot]org: Because of lack of drinkable water on the
plantation, “this situation leaves tappers and other unskilled employees
and their families with no option but to drink from shallow wells and
creeks.”
And of course, those creeks are heavily polluted.
Who
knows how many and what toxic chemicals have been released from the
Firestone plantation into the surrounding creeks and rivers?
A
further investigation in West Africa could well turn up even more
reasons for bleeding---none of which has anything to do with a virus.
The region is rife with industrial operations which produce major
pollutants---mining, offshore oil exploration and drilling,
rubber-tapping, etc.
Then
we come to the frightening press stories about the “Ebola-stricken,
collapsing” doctors and health workers, who are treating patients in the
Ebola clinics in West Africa.
These
health workers have been wearing hazmat suits. Sealed off from the
outside world, working shifts inside those boiling suits, where they are
losing 5 quarts of body fluid an hour, they come out for rehydration,
douse themselves with toxic chemicals to disinfect, and then go back in
again.
One
doctor told the Daily Mail he could smell intense fumes of chlorine
while he was working in his suit. That means the toxic chemical was
actually in there with him.
No wonder some health workers are collapsing and dying. No virus necessary.
From the Daily Mail, August 5, 2014, an article headlined, “In boiling hot suits…”:
“Doctor Hannah Spencer revealed how she wills herself to feel safe inside a boiling hot air-sealed Hazmat suit…”
“Boiling:
Doctors and nurses lose up to five litres in sweat during an hour-long
shift in the suits and have to spend two hours rehydrating after…”
“To
minimise the risk of infection they have to wear thick rubber boots
that come up to their knees, an impermeable body suit, gloves, a face
mask, a hood and goggles to ensure no air at all can touch their skin.”
“Dr.
Spencer, 27, and her colleagues lose up to five litres of sweat during a
shift treating victims and have to spend two hours rehydrating
afterwards.”
“At their camp they go through multiple decontaminations which includes spraying chlorine on their shoes.”
“Dr.
Spencer: ‘We would like to keep a [patient] visit between 45 minutes
and one hour, but now, we’re stretching it to almost two hours. We put
ourselves through a very strong physiological stress when we’re using
personal protection gear.'”
“‘We sweat, we’re losing water; we’re getting hotter and it wreaks havoc on the body. Our own endurance starts to wear down.'”
In
another Daily Mail article (“What’s shocking is how Ebola patients look
before they die…”), Dr. Oliver Johnson describes working in protective
gear: “The heat of the suits is quickly overwhelming, as your goggles
steam up and you feel the sweat dripping underneath. And the smell of
chlorine is intense.”
Getting
the picture? Imagine losing five quarts of water from your body in an
hour. While you’re trapped inside a bulky hazmat suit. While you’re
treating a patient who, for example, might want to escape the clinic
because he’s afraid of you and your Western medicine.
Imagine
needing two hours after you climb out of your suit to rehydrate. Then
you go back for more. Of course you also decontaminate yourself with
toxic chemicals, including chlorine.
But
this has absolutely nothing to do with why you might fall ill. No. If
you fall ill, or collapse, or suddenly die, it’s Ebola. The virus.
Sure it is.
No
need to wonder. Don’t ask questions. Believe the World Health
Organization and the Centers for Disease Control. They always tell the
truth.
---end of excerpts from my 2014 and 2017 Ebola articles---
Coda:
Canadian investigator, Christine Massey, has been doing stunning work
filing Freedom of Information Act requests for proof that various
viruses have ever been isolated and purified (aka discovered). On March
15, 2021, she received a response from the CDC regarding the Ebola
virus. The CDC informed her they could find no records indicating the
virus had ever been isolated and purified, from a patient sample.
Massey
and her colleagues have filed seven other FOIA requests to various
government agencies---seeking proof the Ebola virus has ever been
isolated and purified---and the answer has always been the same: no such
records exist.
Aside
from exposing the horrendous truth about “Ebola” and what has really
been happening in West Africa, I have another reason for writing this
piece. I strongly recommend this method of investigation to independent
researchers.
You
start with the supposed medical cause of illness and death. You examine
that cause and see whether it actually exists. At the same time, you
carry out a parallel deep dive, in order to find out whether non-viral
causes explain the symptoms of illness and death.
This is all aimed at “uncovering the cover story” that is being promoted to hide the crimes of corporations and governments.
In
1987, while I was writing my first book, AIDS INC., I probed a large
amount of data and found my way into this approach. It worked then, and
in succeeding years, it’s worked time and time again.
As I never tire saying: “the virus” is the greatest cover story ever invented.
(In my collection Power Outside The Matrix, I go into great detail on this method of investigative reporting that you can benefit tremendously from.)
