Obama Regime Uses Ebola Nurse in Staged Public Relations Scam

Friday was a  busy news day in America - all of it bad. There was another school shooting, this time in a Seattle area High School and looking like the blood vengeance of a lover scorned. A deranged man in New York attacked four cops with a hatchet, killing one and adding to the national climate of fear and loathing in that he may have had Islamic leanings. Two California police officers were gunned down in cold blood in another of the senseless acts of violence that now plague America. There was also news of travel restrictions in New York and New Jersey in an attempt to control the spread of Ebola. Trying to nudge his way in between the carnage, President Barack Obama continued to engage in shameless public relations stunts as the crucial mid-term elections grow nearer by the day.

Obama, and by extension the entire rancid gaggle of corrupt clowns that is the Democratic party have been hit hard by the introduction of Ebola into the US. For weeks. They have been frantically trying to put a positive spin on it but the latest case, in New York City has undermined the propaganda. But they are relentless and Barry hosted Nina Pham, one of the nurses who caught the virus from Thomas Eric Duncan at the White House on Friday.

According to a story from The Guardian entitled “Obama hugs Dallas nurse hours after she is declared free of Ebola”:

Barack Obama sought to reassure Americans over the risks of Ebola transmission on Friday by way of a hug in the Oval Office with Nina Pham, the Dallas nurse who had been declared free of the virus only hours earlier.

White House officials said their invitation to Pham had been made to celebrate her full recovery from the illness at a National Institutes of Health facility in nearby Bethesda.

“This an opportunity for the president to thank her for her service,” said spokesman Josh Earnest. “This is someone who displayed the kind of selfless service to her fellow man that is worthy of some praise.”

But he acknowledged the photo opportunity – just hours after fourth US case was confirmed in New York – was also a way to demonstrate the president’s confidence in medical protocols amid growing political criticism of the administration’s handling of the crisis.

It was a warm and fuzzy moment for the increasingly unpopular president and the administration stooges in the corrupt state-corporate media will run with it. They will once more try to conjure up some of that “hope” and “change” that led to Obama’s election in the first place but it is just more of the same old snake oil. Americans are suckers for charlatans preaching a message of  better days ahead, but as is often the case such promises turn out to be fraudulent, this is particularly so with Obama.

I have long believed that nearly every rotten thing in an America that has gone off the rails can be laid at the feet of the positive thinking con game and a culture that encourages blind obedience. Optimism is only another word for denial and a majority of Americans who were for the most part, largely immersed in their fantasy worlds of television and propaganda lunged for the poison bait of the Obama political operation. The Bush years were dismal times indeed and this added to the allure of Obama but he was always an empty suit and in the end has proven to be far worse than Bush in that he can hide behind a smile. It is Fozzie Bear fascism but he has gotten away with it.  

The triumph of  Mr. Transparency was a marketing achievement so cynical that Brand Obama was awarded with the honor of being named Advertising Age’s Marketer of the Year. In late 2014 the hope and change have become ashes and sackcloth to those who bought into the scam. Obama’s photo op with Nurse Pham is intended to provide just enough balm to festering sores of the lepers so as to get them to the polls in sufficient numbers one final time so as to preserve the Dem control of the Senate. It is unlikely to work and there are still two weeks for additional Ebola cases to pop up.

The dismal economy and the fact that few Americans outside of tony enclaves like Martha’s Vineyard and The Hampton’s as well as the entitled living within the D.C. beltway are actually better off than they were six years ago is bad but manageable. What really is resonating with Americans though is Ebola. That and the incomprehensible incompetence of the Obama regime in playing down the dangers of a domestic introduction of the virus really pisses people off. Thus the need for gimmicks and staged events to sell that last satisfying hit of hopium before the nation is finally swamped by the deluge of disaster wrought by Obama and his failed policies.

El Presidente can whip out a rag to polish the turd of his legacy until his arm falls off but at the end of the day it will still be a turd.

Pentagon Announces Domestic Emergency Ebola Response Team

Living in the America of the post-September 11, 2001 era one must understand that the answer to pretty much everything is to call in the military. The ongoing wars in the volatile Middle East are one thing but such ideas are beginning to bleed over into the domestic realm. We already have the Pentagon underwriting the militarizing of the American police and the intelligence services working with locals law enforcement to set up Fusion Centers. Now the feds are kicking around the idea of a military response to an Ebola outbreak. Can an excuse for martial law be far behind?

According to a story that just broke on the website of the Los Angeles Times entitled “Pentagon announces Ebola rapid-response team for U.S. cases of virus”:

The Pentagon announced Sunday it is putting together a 30-person rapid-response team that could provide quick medical support to civilian healthcare workers if additional cases of the Ebola virus are diagnosed in the United States.

Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel ordered U.S. Northern Command Commander Gen. Chuck Jacoby to assemble the team, which was requested by the Department of Health and Human Services, said Pentagon spokesman Rear Adm. John Kirby.

The team will consist of 20 critical-care nurses, five doctors trained in infectious disease, and five trainers in infectious-disease protocols.

"Once formed, team members will be sent to Ft. Sam Houston in Texas for up to seven days of specialized training in infection control and personal protective equipment," Kirby said in a statement. "That training is expected to start within the next week or so and will be provided by the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases."

Once the team is trained, they will remain in Texas in a "prepare to deploy" status for 30 days, available to be sent to other U.S. locations as required, he said. The team will not be sent to West Africa, where the Ebola virus is running rampant, or elsewhere overseas.

The creeping cat’s feet of American fascism continue to get louder and the introduction into The Homeland of the Ebola virus may be just that “serious crisis” that Rahm Emanuel would never let go to waste. It really is only a matter of time until an American president crosses the Rubicon and declares a state of martial law - you can bet on it.

The Posse Comitatus Act has pretty much been rendered null and void by the establishment of NORTHCOM several years back. This command ensured that the military would be properly equipped and legally authorized to deal with unspecified domestic issues in a time of national emergency. Whether it will be Obama, Hillary or some Republican upstart the power and ability now exists to implement martial law. Sadly, the public acceptance of it also exists.

Operations in Beantown in the aftermath of the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing where militarized police conducted warrantless door to door searches were essentially a live drill for martial law. Now the government is no longer even bothering with the pretense that the troops won’t be called out on American soil when that “serious crisis” arises. It could be Ebola or it could be in Ferguson in a few weeks when a grand jury does not indict right-wing hero and rogue cop Darren Wilson for the murder of the unarmed teenager Michael Brown and the riots start but it’s coming.

President Dwight D. Eisenhower must be rolling in his grave now that his dire warnings of the dangers of the Military Industrial Complex went unheeded and have now become fully realized.

The proverbial camel’s nose is already under the tent if you have bothered to take a good look around.

Orwell 101: Obama Downplays Ebola as Elections Loom

War is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength and 2+2=5. Those all come from George Orwell’s enduring classic novel of a totalitarian dystopia "1984" but could easily be adapted for Obama’s America in 2014.  A critical component of Orwell’s book is the perversion of language and the triumph of the lies of the state in enhancing its own power. It is called “newspeak” and is an indispensable item in big toolbox of the American political establishment. The government now lies as a first resort, no longer even bothering with the truth. The corrupt state media – long in bed with the Obama regime – then reinforces the lies and the system continues to rot as Americans get the shaft over and over again. El Presidente, with the clock ticking down towards the November elections did Orwell proud during his Saturday morning weekly presidential radio address.

President Ebola’s message to the nation is described by the Washington Post in a piece entitled “Obama: ‘We can’t give in to hysteria or fear’ of Ebola” from which I excerpt the following:

President Obama on Saturday sought to tamp down fears of an Ebola outbreak and defend his administration from Republican critics who have called for a more aggressive response to the disease, including sealing off U.S. borders to visitors from countries battling widespread outbreaks.

“We can’t just cut ourselves off from West Africa, where this disease is raging,” Obama said in his weekly radio address. “Trying to seal off an entire region of the world — if that were even possible — could actually make the situation worse.”

Such actions would make it harder for American health-care workers, soldiers and supplies to reach stricken areas and could prompt residents of countries in West Africa where Ebola is still spreading to try to evade screening on their way to the United States or Europe, Obama said.

The president’s main message was one of calm, coming at a time of growing worry in communities throughout the country. “We can’t give in to hysteria or fear, because that only makes it harder to get people the accurate information they need,” Obama said. “If we’re guided by science — the facts, not fear — then I am absolutely confident we can prevent a serious outbreak here in the United States.”

Just ‘trust me’ is the message from Obama and how many times have Americans heard that one before only to be hornswoggled?  Travel restrictions are off the table and would only "make the situation worse". There is more than a whiff of 2+2=5 in that sort of batshit crazy type of reasoning.  Had travel restrictions been imposed on flights from the Ebola hotbed in Africa to begin with and had Barry’s incompetent lackeys not downplayed the danger of bringing Ebola victims to America the virus would still be alien to the U.S.A. Ironically, this could not have happened at a worse time for Obama with another electoral "shellacking" looming and now the Democrat propaganda machine is frantically flying into action.

The cesspool of keening, orange bellied liberal cyber-swine, Daily Kos had Obama’s back in a post “Obama explains Ebola to the fear-based, freaked-out public in weekly address” and a coordinated effort is now in the works. The most critical aspect of the domestic Ebola outbreak now is how to best control the message in the waning days before the elections.  Democratic party operatives are already attacking Republicans as racists responsible for spreading an Ebola panic in order to score political points but that is just total crap. Not that the Republicans aren't racists - they are - but the Dems are equally rotten with selectively playing the race card whenever it suits their political needs.  There are even smears being peddled to attack libertarians such as Rand Paul as being an “Ebola truther” to stifle criticism of Obama. The desperation from the red jackass party is intense and growing by the minute. Any downplaying of the threat of the virus is all sleazy politics to keep the Senate under Harry Reid’s corrupt leadership and the dogs of impeachment at bay.

This is why Sunday morning’s propaganda circuit features Dr. Anthony Fauci, Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases on all five major networks to assure the sheep that all is under control. The elections were likely a key concern in Obama’s appointment of longtime Democrat political hack, Ron Klain as Ebola czar despite the inconvenient truth that he has no medical background. It’s all about keeping the lid on things until after November 4^th and avoiding the loss of the Senate. If Ebola is going to go national, it just needs to wait until after the votes have been cast. That's the way that the administration sees it.

So don’t worry, be happy and vote for a Democrat.

Orwell was an optimist.

We Are Screwed: Obama Chooses Democratic Party Hack as Ebola Czar

Today President Barack Obama began to mitigate the damage that the arrival of the Ebola virus in the United States has done to his already dismal reputation. With the mid-term elections now only eighteen days away and the Democrats hemorrhaging worse than Thomas Eric Duncan, Barry stepped to the plate and is ready to name the nation’s first Ebola Czar. Meet Ron Klain, a Democrat party hack who formerly served as a chief of staff to Vice President Joe Biden. Mr. Klain has no medical background but can be counted upon to be a reliable water carrier for the party which is what really matters.  Just when you think that the Obama operation can’t sink any lower they hit bottom and set up a drilling rig.

According to an article from Yahoo News, “Obama taps former Biden aide Ron Klain as ‘Ebola czar’”:

President Barack Obama has picked Ron Klain, an inside-the-Beltway veteran and well-regarded manager, to oversee and fix the wobbly federal government response to West Africa’s deadly Ebola outbreak.

“The president has asked Ron Klain to take on the task of coordinating his administration’s whole of government Ebola response,” the White House said. His formal title will be “Ebola Response Coordinator.”

Klain, a former chief of staff to Vice President Joe Biden, “will report directly” to Obama Homeland Security Adviser Lisa Monaco and National Security Adviser Susan Rice.

His job will be to ensure “that efforts to protect the American people by detecting, isolating and treating Ebola patients in this country are properly integrated but don’t distract from the aggressive commitment to stopping Ebola at the source in West Africa,” the White House said.

Klain, a veteran of political knife fights like the 2000 presidential election recount in Florida, is generally well regarded in Congress by Democrats and Republicans for his managerial skills. As Biden’s chief of staff, Klain oversaw the implementation of the 2009 economic stimulus package.

Klain, a lawyer by training, currently runs Case Holdings, which oversees the business and charity interests of former AOL Chairman Steve Case. He is also general counsel at Washington-based venture capital firm Revolution LLC.

The announcement came a day after Obama acknowledged that “it might make sense to have one person” overseeing the process “just to make sure that we’re crossing all the T’s and dotting all the I’s going forward.”

Klain literally has credentials to die for.  You might recall that back in 2005 during the aftermath of the devastating Hurricane Katrina that another incompetent political stooge drew savage mockery and scorn from Democrats and liberals. Michael Brown, the hand-picked FEMA director of President George W. Bush rocketed to national infamy as New Orleans drowned. Bush ensured that he would forever become synonymous with cronyism of the worst type with his proclamation that "Brownie, you're doing a heck of a job".  Brown had as much real life experience with disasters as Obama’s latest pet ass-clown has in epidemiology.

Naturally the Democrats are down with the appointment of a political apparatchik and brain dead buffoon to manage what could end up being a national catastrophe. Hell, with Klain’s appointment we are even more likely to experience a national Ebola outbreak. What on God’s green Earth is wrong with these people? Not to mention that this fixation with naming “czars” is creepy, such a title is decidedly un-American and is a better fit in one of history’s tyrannical communist regimes than a supposedly free country.

The entire Obama response to the domestic Ebola invasion – which his administration bears much responsibility for – has been underwhelming and idiotic. Days prior to his naming of a longtime party loyalist as "czar" he was promising an "Ebola SWAT Team". This should make Americans feel really good in the era of militarized police goon squads. SWAT teams are not your friends. They are the Kevlar clad government thugs who kick down the door in the middle of the night, throw flash grenades into the cribs of toddlers and gun down the family dog. It really makes a person wonder whether some of those sordid and sleazy internet rumors about El Presidente being a closet crack-head may have just a smattering of truth mixed in.

You just can’t make shit like this up!

Ebola Victim's "Explosive Diarrhea" May Trigger Dallas State of Emergency

In the aftermath of the news of the latest domestic Ebola victim as well as revelations of  unsanitary procedures at the hospital where Thomas Eric Duncan was treated, Dallas is on the brink of a state of emergency. With 29 year old nurse Amber Vinson now a confirmed case and the probability of more on the way a state of dread is creeping through the DFW Metroplex. Stomach churning details of Duncan’s “explosive diarrhea” and “projectile vomiting” as well as the lack of any sort of suitable protective gear have caused Texas Health Presbyterian hospital to issue a public apology. With the infection of two of the health care workers who aided patient zero in his dying days it isn’t exactly a reach to expect that additional victims are coming soon.

According to a story from The Hill entitled “Dallas might seek emergency declaration”:

Dallas County officials are considering asking Gov. Rick Perry (R) to declare a state of emergency for an area that has reported three cases of Ebola.

The county commissioners will meet Thursday afternoon to weigh the option, the Dallas Morning News reported late Wednesday.

A state of emergency would activate "appropriate recovery and rehabilitation aspects of all applicable local or interjurisdictional emergency management plans," according to state law. 

It would also authorize emergency aid and assistance. Governors typically declare a state of emergency after a natural disaster.

Perry said Wednesday that he is in daily contact with state health leaders as regularly communicating with White House officials.

“This is the first time that our nation has had to deal with a threat such as this," Perry said in a statement Wednesday. "Every relevant agency at the local, state and national levels is working to support these individuals"

Dallas has reported two cases of Ebola since Saturday. Both patients are healthcare workers who had helped treat Thomas Eric Duncan, the Liberian man who died from the disease last week.

Hospital staffers were not expected to be at risk of contracting the virus and were not being actively monitored by state or federal health officials. One of the nurses also took a flight into a Dallas airport just hours before she was diagnosed.

As for the hospital workers not being expected to get Ebola shows just how clueless local and national authorities are over the virus. The CDC still can’t make up its mind on whether it can be transmitted by air – sneezes etc. – but had better get a clue quickly considering the fact that Vinson flew on a commercial airliner this week. There is an ongoing effort to track down the passengers but they have had days to further spread the virus if they had been affected.

What a state of emergency would look like is anyone’s guess. The Democrat Governor of Connecticut Dannel Malloy has already laid the groundwork for the suspension of civil liberties in his state with his own declaration last week and God only knows what the feds are capable of. A wider geographic area of potential infection could lead to further declarations and even quarantines but thanks to the ongoing war on the Constitution and the militarizing of the police after 9/11 at least we are prepared for martial law if and when the time comes.

President Barack Obama continues to downplay the changes of a more widespread outbreak, calling the risk “very, very low”. This statement is coming from a man with an uncanny ability to lie about damned near everything with a straight face so the best bet is to prepare for the worst.  If there really was nothing to worry about Barry wouldn’t have cancelled his latest fundraising trip weeks before the critical mid-term elections with the fate of the Senate in the balance.

We are now sailing in uncharted waters with morons setting the course so the coming days will be a good time to stock up on hand sanitizer which is already flying off the shelves.

Obama's Ebola Nation

Bad news has become as American as apple pie under the rule of El Presidente Barack Obama and the latest slice comes topped off with a big scoop of the Ebola virus. Last week we had our nation’s first workplace beheading and this week we have our first confirmed domestic case of Ebola. The infected, a man named Thomas Eric Duncan is reportedly a resident of Liberia, the African cesspool that is teeming with the deadly illness and was visiting his girlfriend in Texas when he became ill. Duncan went to a Dallas hospital after experiencing symptoms including fever and abdominal pain and was sent home with antibiotics only to return days later. The pills didn't work and Duncan was picked up by an ambulance two days later. Witnesses in the apartment complex said that he was seen violently vomiting as he was packed into the emergency vehicle according to a Reuters story "Dallas Ebola patient vomited outside apartment on way to hospital".

God only knows how many people were potentially exposed to the virus but we will likely soon find out.

According to a CNN story entitled “U.S. Ebola case: Fear, frustration grow as patients' contacts monitored”:

America's first diagnosed Ebola victim is contained, but three things are still spreading: fear, frustration and the search for his contacts.

While Thomas Eric Duncan remains in serious but stable condition at a Dallas hospital, some parents are scared to take their kids to the schools that his girlfriend's children attended.

Others are upset at the hospital where Duncan first sought care, which sent him home and raised the possibility he could infect others for at least two additional days.

As the search continues for those Duncan had contact with, here's the latest on how the case is affecting others:

'I just got scared'

Duncan was in Dallas visiting his girlfriend, Liberian community leader Stanley Gaye said.

Among the people he encountered: his girlfriend's five children, Gaye said.

Dallas Independent School District Superintendent Mike Miles said the patient came in contact with five students who attended four different schools in the area.

Sam Tasby Middle School is one of those schools.

"I just got scared because I thought that that kid came to that school and probably got contact with him," said Nellie Catalan, whose child attends the middle school.

"I know it doesn't get (spread) by the air, but you never know."

More than 3,500 students attend the four schools. Each is getting cleaned and sanitized over the next few days.

Student Denise Trujillo said she's still worried.

"I don't feel like going to school tomorrow," she said.

While the five students who were near Duncan are staying home and being monitored, their schools will remain open.

The absolute worst place – other than an airport – where a contagious illness has the most possibility of generating  mass infection would be a school. Anybody who has ever worked in an office environment with people who have children understands this as whenever a kid gets sick mommy brings it into to work and contaminates half the office. We had all better hope that the children of Duncan’s girlfriend did not contact Ebola and spread it to their classmates. I can understand why the schools will be open in that creating a panic in a paranoid and jumpy country would be the last thing that we need but it ill serves the public even if the students are being “cleaned and sanitized”.

This is another flaming bag of dogshit that Obama has parked on our national doorstep. His crusade against Ebola that he bragged about during that shameless speech he gave at the United Nations last week is yet another of his totally unnecessary disasters. One that is going to bite us all in the ass sooner rather than later. It was stupid to bring those two aid workers to the U.S. for Ebola treatment in August because it established a precedent. Then Obama ordered the U.S. military into Liberia to set up shop to fight Ebola, a move the cynics would believe has ulterior motives in the convenient excuse to set up yet another American military operation in a foreign country. Much of Obama's foreign meddling under the guise of humanitarianism likely comes from batshit crazy UN Ambassador Samantha Power . Power, who is the wife of the fascist Cass Sunstein is a woman whose panties probably get moist every time that billions of U.S. taxpayer dollars can be used to project power abroad when the money is badly needed here at home.

Some food for thought comes from the libertarian financial blog Zero Hedge in a piece entitled “How Bad Could It Get? US Government Order Of 160,000 HazMat Suits Gives A Clue” from which I excerpt:

Now that Ebola is officially in the US on an uncontrolled basis, the two questions on everyone's lips are i) who will get sick next and ii) how bad could it get?

We don't know the answer to question #1 just yet, but when it comes to the second one, a press release three weeks ago from Lakeland Industries, a manufacturer and seller of a "comprehensive line of safety garments and accessories for the industrial protective clothing market" may provide some insight into just how bad the US State Department thinks it may get. Because when the US government buys 160,000 hazmat suits specifically designed against Ebola, just ahead of the worst Ebola epidemic in history making US landfall, one wonders: what do they know the we don't?

The story has a link to the Lakeland Industries press release. The website Business Insider reports that “Shares Of Hazmat Suit Company Surged 30% After The First Case Of Ebola Confirmed In The US”.

As a man once said “never let a good crisis go to waste”. An Ebola outbreak, or the threat of one will benefit both those seeking to cash in as well as a government that seeks to massively expand its power.

This could get really ugly really fast. Were I not an atheist I would strongly suspect that Obama is God's curse upon us.
