World Health Organization plays Politics with people lives in the balance

"WHO has acknowledged acting too slowly to control the Ebola epidemic. In its defense, the agency says the virus' spread was unprecedented and blames factors including lack of resources and intelligence from the field. Internal documents obtained by AP, however, show WHO's top leaders were informed of how dire the situation was. But they held off on declaring an emergency in part because it could have angered the countries involved, interfered with their mining interests or restricted the Muslim pilgrimage to Mecca in October."

So, how many lives were lost because the WHO, was worried about making someone upset?

And how many times has this happened in the past?

And how will this affect future outbreaks?

Are you willing to put your life on the line?  What about your children's lives?  Your grand children's lives?

The WHO is supposed to be apolitical, with out politics.  Without borders.

And yet their own intenal e-mails show just the opposite.

And people DIED, because of that.

Afghanistan Elections - Is he a sore loser or is there a conspiracy?

"KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) -- Afghan presidential candidate Abdullah Abdullah said Monday that he will not accept the expected official results of the election, breaking a pledge he made to the U.S. secretary of state and injecting new tension into an already drawn-out political process.

Appearing tired and nervous, Abdullah told a nationally televised news conference that he believes he won both times Afghans voted this year - in April and again in a June runoff. He accused election authorities of violating the desires of voters by ignoring widespread fraud and preparing to declare his opponent, former Finance Minister Ashraf Ghani Ahmadzai, the winner."

This could cause a renewal of the clashes and violence, and it could mean the death of the Afghanistan Government.  Even with US troop involvement, without a stable government, Afghanistan cannot stand.

Then we have more issues in Africa.

"MONROVIA, Liberia (AP) -- The United States and Britain will send medical equipment and military personnel to help contain West Africa's Ebola outbreak, as the World Health Organization warned Monday that many thousands of new infections are expected in Liberia in the coming weeks.

The current Ebola outbreak is the largest on record. It has spread from Guinea to Sierra Leone, Liberia, Nigeria and Senegal and killed more than 2,000 people. An "exponential increase" in new cases is expected in the hardest-hit countries in coming weeks, the U.N. health agency warned."

As I've said MANY times.  We are just one plane ride away from a world pandemic.  And it doesn't have to be accidental.  In one case it MAY be intentional.

"The FBI and CDC are investigating an attack on a federal air marshal who was injected with a syringe full of an unknown substance inside the Lagos, Nigeria airport on Sunday, according to a Situational Awareness notice obtained by FoxNews.com.

A federal air marshal reported being attacked by a subject while on the public side of the Lagos Airport on Sunday, according to an alert from TSA's Transportation Security Operations Center distributed throughout the agency on Monday afternoon."

It looks like someone is TRYING to intentionally infect people with something.  While this is overt, there are other ways which cannot be detected.  All it would take would be for one person who was knowingly infected with an airborne virus to board a plane.  A couple of sneezes or coughs, and several people to the whole plane could be infected depending on the infection itself.

Too many things are going on in the world for someone to ignore.  And while many people get their only news through facebook or their friends, they really need to open their eyes and look at the whole picture.

"CHICAGO (AP) — Hundreds of children in more than 10 states have been sickened by a severe respiratory illness that public health officials say may be caused by an uncommon virus similar to the germ that causes the common cold.

Nearly 500 children have been treated at one hospital alone — Children's Mercy in Kansas City, Missouri — and some required intensive care, according to authorities."

We are a plane ride away from an epidemic or pandemic

"The worst outbreak of Ebola moved to Sierra Leone’s capital of Freetown where an Egyptian was found with the city’s first confirmed case of the disease.

The unidentified Egyptian national had traveled from Kenema, the largest city in the nation’s Eastern Province, and checked into a clinic east of Freetown, Sidie Yahya Tunis, director of Information, Communication and Technology at the Ministry of Health and Sanitation, said by phone today. The person was moved back to the Ebola center in Kenema, he said."

All it would take is one person who is infected getting on a plane and possibly infecting an entire plane load of passengers.

Ebola is not an airborne Virus, however one person infected could possibly infect one of the flight crew and then you have the makings of an epidemic or possibly pandemic. 

The Spanish Flu of 1918 was a pandemic.  The Black Death of 1346-1353 was a pandemic.  Plague has surfaced here in the US in San Francisco California in 1900-1904.

Right now Ebola is an epidemic in Africa.  However as I said above, it is one plane trip away from possibly becoming a pandemic and killing or sickening millions of people.

Right now we have immigrants coming into the US testing positive for Tuberculosis, Scabies, and who knows what else.

Remember all it takes is one person to transmit any one of these diseases.  And right now, with the borders of the EU, the US and many other countries being so porous expect outbreaks to happen worldwide.

Personally I'm expecting the main outbreak of TB and possibly a resurgence of Smallpox to happen in Mexico within the next 4-6 months.  And then we will find it migrating into the US through our porous southern border.  We might also start to see recurrences of the plague as well once again starting in California due to the Scabies outbreak that I'm sure will be happening in the next 2-3 months.  The mites like fleas can travel greatly, especially in packed buses just full of people in close physical contact.

Note this.  I am making these predictions based on various things I've researched.  News articles, scientific journals, talking to border patrol agents and law enforcement, talking to local health care workers.

So if any of my predictions come true don't think I had anything to do with it.  I'm just basing my predictions on what I'm seeing and reading and hearing.

Oh and the smallpox prediction comes from several sources,even though it is supposed to be eradicated there are other forms of it, such as Monkey Pox, which IS human transmissible.  As well as Bird Flu, Swine Flu and many others.  And there may be parts of the Small Pox virus latent inside humans just waiting for the switch to flip and become active again.

What can cause that switch to flip?

Crowded, humid, filthy living conditions.  Lack of proper medical care or hygiene. Thousands of people in close contact in those condition could cause a switch to flip.

And you have your next super virus that could kill thousands and possibly millions of people.

And what is our government doing to prevent this?

Not a damn thing.  In fact they are bringing about the conditions which are almost certain to flip the switch, all for some political gain.

What can you do?

The largest thing you can do to help prevent yourself and your family getting sick is also the easiest.

Personal hygiene.

Keep yourself, your homes, places of work as clean as possible.  Bathe daily, wash your clothes properly using the hottest water you can.  Keep your kitchen and food preparation areas as clean as possible, use diluted bleach to wipe down surfaces.  Wash your hands constantly.  You don't NEED to use an anti-bacterial soap, just plain soap and hot water will do the job.  Use paper towels to dry your hands, damp washcloths are just breeding ground in warm, humid bathrooms.

Get some filter masks and keep them handy.  I keep 2 N-95 masks and 5 pairs of nitrile gloves in the cargo pocket of my shorts in a ziplock bag if I need them.  I also keep a small bottle of alcohol based hand sanitizer in the pocket as well.  If you go to the Dr's office/emergency room/hospital for ANY reason wear a mask.  That is where sick people go, and you don't want to get sick.

If you get any cuts or scrapes take care of them properly.  Use betadine or alcohol to clean them not hydrogen peroxide and cover them with a clean bandage.  Change your bandage several times a day and keep it clean.

You want to take as many preventative measures as you can to keep from getting sick.  You will note I carry hand sanitizer with me.  Have you noticed how many chain store restrooms don't have "HOT" water?  At best they have lukewarm water.  That won't kill germs.  They want to save money on the electric or gas bill so the hot water isn't hot.  So use a hand sanitizer.

Make sure yours and your families immunizations are all up to date.  And get your yearly physical while you are at it including the blood work.

Just in case what I'm praying doesn't happen DOES happen, make sure your paperwork is all up to date.

Your will, power of attorney for your kids, in case something should happen to you.  Do you have funeral insurance?  Do you want to be buried or cremated?  If you don't have the documentation your family won't know.  So get it all in writing.  Make sure your and your families birth certificates and social security cards are secured.  My families paperwork is in a fireproof safe and I have a key and my mother has a key. 

Just in Case.

Remember that phrase.

Just in Case.

That is why you are making all these preparations.  Just in Case something DOES happen. 

You won't be taken by surprise and can possibly mitigate the effects as much as possible.

There is probably a lot I haven't covered and you might have ideas or suggestions.  Well that's what the comment section is for.

So chime in.

During the next Pandemic or outbreak

are we going to have freedom of movement?

Many conspiracy theorists say that there are "FEMA Camps", and stealth walls around major cities to keep people in or out.  How much truth is there to that?  Don't discard what they say outright, because some of what they say has some kernel of truth to it.  The problem is finding that kernel.


"During infectious disease outbreaks, personal freedom comes at a price: the welfare of the public as a whole, a new study finds.

In the research, scientists investigated whether, in the event of an outbreak, people should be allowed to move about freely or if authorities should enforce travel restrictions to halt the disease's spread."

Oh and about those "Stealth Walls"  Look around a major city, you will see "Noise Abatement walls"  Just how tall and how thick are those things?
