Does The White House Website Prove An Ebola Conspiracy?

Does The White House Website Prove An Ebola Conspiracy?

Hello again, ATS!


I am opting to post this in "The Gray Area" for a few reasons. One of them being that I know some of this has already been covered ( I cannot find a thread that seeks to connect dots as this one will seek to do. If there is one I could not find it ). And secondly because the "right in plain sight" aspects of it all, which you are about to see, leave me thinking "No, this can't be real. I must be over thinking it all."


Having said that, let's get into the thick of things.


Exhibit A


On July 31, 2014 President Barack Obama issued an Executive Order entitled Revised List of Quarantinable Communicable Diseases which can be found here.


The important part ( and majority ) of that order is as follows:

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including section 264(b) of title 42, United States Code, it is hereby ordered as follows:


Section 1. Amendment to Executive Order 13295. Based upon the recommendation of the Secretary of Health and Human Services, in consultation with the Acting Surgeon General, and for the purposes set forth in section 1 of Executive Order 13295 of April 4, 2003, as amended by Executive Order 13375 of April 1, 2005, section 1 of Executive Order 13295 shall be further amended by replacing subsection (b) with the following:


"(b) Severe acute respiratory syndromes, which are diseases that are associated with fever and signs and symptoms of pneumonia or other respiratory illness, are capable of being transmitted from person to person, and that either are causing, or have the potential to cause, a pandemic, or, upon infection, are highly likely to cause mortality or serious morbidity if not properly controlled. This subsection does not apply to influenza."

Exhibit B


On August 5, 2014 President Barack Obama issued an Executive Order entitled ”Establishing the President's Advisory Council on Doing Business in Africa


The first paragraph from this EO, which can be found here sums up the intent well enough:

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, and in order to promote broad-based economic growth and job creation in the United States and Africa by encouraging U.S. companies to trade with and invest in Africa, it is hereby ordered as follows:

This tends to lead me to think of the “Let no good crisis go to waste” motto – and of a possible move toward exploiting this pandemic for the profit of American companies – particularly pharmaceuticals, suppliers of medical equipment, coffin makers, and the list goes on and on.


Exhibit C


On September 18, 2014 President Barack Obama issued an Executive Order entitled Combating Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria. That EO can be found here


I am including the entirety of this EO because it is just chock full of the sorts of buzzwords and clues that people in the know tend to be painfully aware of as bad things:

EXECUTIVE ORDER
- - - - - - -

COMBATING ANTIBIOTIC-RESISTANT BACTERIA

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, I hereby order as follows:

Section 1. Policy. The discovery of antibiotics in the early 20th century fundamentally transformed human and veterinary medicine. Antibiotics save millions of lives each year in the United States and around the world. The rise of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, however, represents a serious threat to public health and the economy. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) estimates that annually at least two million illnesses and 23,000 deaths are caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria in the United States alone.

Detecting, preventing, and controlling antibiotic resistance requires a strategic, coordinated, and sustained effort. It also depends on the engagement of governments, academia, industry, healthcare providers, the general public, and the agricultural community, as well as international partners. Success in this effort will require significant efforts to: minimize the emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria; preserve the efficacy of new and existing antibacterial drugs; advance research to develop improved methods for combating antibiotic resistance and conducting antibiotic stewardship; strengthen surveillance efforts in public health and agriculture; develop and promote the use of new, rapid diagnostic technologies; accelerate scientific research and facilitate the development of new antibacterial drugs, vaccines, diagnostics, and other novel therapeutics; maximize the dissemination of the most up-to-date information on the appropriate and proper use of antibiotics to the general public and healthcare providers; work with the pharmaceutical industry to include information on the proper use of over-the-counter and prescription antibiotic medications for humans and animals; and improve international collaboration and capabilities for prevention, surveillance, stewardship, basic research, and drug and diagnostics development.

The Federal Government will work domestically and internationally to detect, prevent, and control illness and death related to antibiotic-resistant infections by implementing measures that reduce the emergence and spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and help ensure the continued availability of effective therapeutics for the treatment of bacterial infections.

Sec. 2. Oversight and Coordination. Combating antibiotic-resistant bacteria is a national security priority. The National Security Council staff, in collaboration with the Office of Science and Technology Policy, the Domestic Policy Council, and the Office of Management and Budget, shall coordinate the development and implementation of Federal Government policies to combat antibiotic-resistant bacteria, including the activities, reports, and recommendations of the Task Force for Combating Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria established in section 3 of this order.

BARACK OBAMA
THE WHITE HOUSE,
September 18, 2014.

For the record, that is one of the – if not the – longest EO I can recall reading. The very fact that the DoD is mentioned is enough to scare even the sanest amongst us into pondering the idea of militarily closed borders and camps for the infected.

Exhibit D

On September, 26, 2014 President Barack Obama issued a Presidential Memorandum entitled "Presidential Memorandum -- Deferred Enforced Departure for Liberians" which can be found here.

This was an extension allowing for Liberians who had come to the US seeking political asylum to remain, as the previous extension was set to expire.

This piques my interest because Thomas Eric Duncan - the Dallas patient and patient zero for the US - was Liberian and had family here, possibly due to that exact grant of asylum. positories for bacteria strains to an integrated surveillance system, and, where feasible, the repositories shall enhance their sample collections and further interoperable data systems with national surveillance efforts.

Exhibit E

On September 30, 2014 President Barack Obama issued a Presidential Memorandum entitled ”FY 2015 Refugee Admissions”. That document can be located here

A relevant part of that document is as follows:

he admission of up to 70,000 refugees to the United States during Fiscal Year (FY) 2015 is justified by humanitarian concerns or is otherwise in the national interest; provided that this number shall be understood as including persons admitted to the United States during FY 2015 with Federal refugee resettlement assistance under the Amerasian immigrant admissions program, as provided below.
The admissions numbers shall be allocated among refugees of special humanitarian concern to the United States in accordance with the following regional allocations; provided that the number of admissions allocated to the East Asia region shall include persons admitted to the United States during FY 2015 with Federal refugee resettlement assistance under section 584 of the Foreign Operations, Export Financing, and Related Programs Appropriations Act of 1988, as contained in section 101(e) of Public Law 100-202 (Amerasian immigrants and their family members):
Africa................................17,000
East Asia.............................13,000
Europe and Central Asia................1,000
Latin America and Caribbean............4,000
Near East and South Asia..............33,000
Unallocated Reserve....................2,000 
The 2,000 unallocated refugee numbers shall be allocated to regional ceilings, as needed.  Upon providing notification to the Judiciary Committees of the Congress, you are hereby authorized to use unallocated admissions in regions where the need for additional admissions arises.
Additionally, upon notification to the Judiciary Committees of the Congress, you are further authorized to transfer unused admissions allocated to a particular region to one or more other regions, if there is a need for greater admissions for the region or regions to which the admissions are being transferred.  Consistent with section 2(b)(2) of the Migration and Refugee Assistance Act of 1962, I hereby determine that assistance to or on behalf of persons applying for admission to the United States as part of the overseas refugee admissions program will contribute to the foreign policy interests of the United States and designate such persons for this purpose. 

I find it strikingly odd that in the midst of a pandemic that it would be a priority to make sure that it is made clear that we are to allow at least seventeen thousand ( or more ) immigrate from the very hot bed of that pandemic.

Ponderances

The Wikipedia page tracing the trajectory of this outbreak is concise and accurate enough for us to at least all agree the all of the above actions happened post-outbreak.

Many will say that such Proclamations and Executive Orders are all part of the normal day to day housekeeping that our Government engages in. Yet I am left looking at this time line of events with a sense that there is more here than meets the eye.

In fact I am left with a suspicion that the entire US Ebola situation is some sort of twisted lab experiment with unfathomable political implications.

Are they gauging our reaction to a potential mass death scenario?

Are they preparing to thin the herd by using the citizens of this country as lab rats in a mass study on the efficacy of experimental antibiotics?

Are there angles here that I am not yet beginning to even see?

Whatever the case... This does not feel right to me. The whole situation stinks. Could the entire answer to a conspiracy against the American people really just be sitting there on the White House website for all to see?

As I said at the beginning, this one is more conjecture than my threads usually involve. But I found the ideas contained above so intriguing and troubling that I was compelled to share.

Thanks, once again, for your time ATS.

Can't .... read..... anymore.... Ebola.... Threads...

No seriously, I think I might go mad. I thought I had seen it all on Ebola and then you drop this in my lap.

I am not usually one to run screaming the sky is falling, but this is just getting to be too much.

Here is my issue though, I don't think the they are thinning out population. I personally think they (the people who should be running the show on this) are just pompous asses who thought it could never happen here. The American people are just so secure in the knowledge that we CAN handle it all. I think we just got lax and we will pay for it.

However, after reading the above, my opinion may be changing....

Besides the current outbreaks in the US of that respiratory disease that effects kids, the introduction of Ebola, the greed of the airlines who refuse to curtail flights from West Africa, the imposition of some grabass executive order does make sense sooort of…

I would be glad for one if they monitor incoming passengers with thermometers and grab their ass into quarantine for the time it takes to prevent more Ebola cases in the US.

I would do more than that (ban flights from West Africa) but I'm not as big a person as the airline industry. Will they use that order to grab anyone they like? Probably.

a reply to: Hefficide
Fantastic thread. I don't know the gov's motivations, but it's baldly apparent that the citizens are perceived as little more than pesky bigmouths. We the People are the threat.

I used to laugh at ideas or conspiracies like this, but anymore, I wouldn't put anything past the US gov.. I skimmed over what you posted and it is brow-raising.

Are you thinking that TPTB would purposely spread Ebola just so they could put everyone in Fema camps?

This is off-topic, but remember how odd the Elisa Lam case was, and the whole Tuberculosis outbreak at the same time? Then the TB test being named: The Lam-Elisa test?

There is Tekmira, USAMRIID and DARPA connection i made a thread some time ago here in ATS when Zmapp was launched. If you want to check it out Link.
Also the fact that Darpa wants to replace antibiotics with nanoparticles is somewhat concerning. Wired posted a article 2011 which says

It’s the latest of several Darpa programs to improve we deal with bacterial infections, viruses and bio-threats. The agency is already funding tobacco-based vaccine production, prescient viral infection detectors and insta-vaccines to inoculate against unknown pathogens.

Right now, antibiotics work by interfering with bacterial function or their spread. Some meds target a ton of different pathogens, while others are more highly specified. Both varieties, however, are increasingly vulnerable to bacterial resistance — bacteria that carry a genetically enhanced ability to thwart the medication survive, and continue to spread, rendering that medication useless. It means even if scientists develop new antibiotics, which they continue to do, the meds will be “prone to the same issues and may ultimately meet a similar fate” as their once-potent peers. Not to mention that where “engineered” bacterial threats are concerned, most conventional antibiotics would be useless from the get-go: Genetic tinkering can turn even benign gut bacteria into lethal, untreatable bioweapons.

Link

While Ebola spreads and get more uncontrollable Stock markets of big Pharmas´s goes up. Last week Tekmiras ( Darpa is one of the stockholders ) stock made a rapid increase about 30% even that supposed zmapp as a cure is run out. When we realize that Tekmira Zmapp and Darpa are connected and Tobacco research as a possible way to replace antibiotics with nanoparticles there is every warning signs of manmade "pandemia " in the air. The question is how much you trust your goverment.

I am depositing a star and flag because I want to see some discussion on this.

I believe that you have your tin foil hat on today.

a reply to: Hefficide

maybe he was trying to get the congress to reverse the drastic cuts they legislated to both the CDC and the NIH....as with some people, sometimes you have to "slap" them across the face to focus their attention

a reply to: jimmyx

When will Darpa or someother shadow govt agency weaponize(If its not already) to make this thing airborne.
Plus the Patent on a rabies based vaccine is a reminder to 28 days later.

Good jop OP nice research.

The hat kept falling off. Now I have a tin foil weave.

It seems like they can't keep themselves from reveling in their blatancy.

There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known. What you have said in the dark will be heard in the daylight, and what you have whispered in the ear in the inner rooms will be proclaimed from the roofs.
Luke 12:2-3

I cannot help but think that there is a link between these outbreaks and all the murdered microbiologists of a couple of years ago. Outbreaks of that polio-like outbreak happening simultaneously in several places at once, etc. are just too mysterious. My spidey senses tell me this is weaponized germ warfare.

Hasn't the US sent in 3000 troops to those areas of Africa? Perhaps the Russkies or China or maybe even the US launched this, but these latest disease crops did not just come out of the blue to land where they did.

a reply to: Hefficide

Heff....So you are saying this www.abovetopsecret.com... could be true???

Why do all of these Ebola discussions make me continually think someone is doing this on purpose, hiding in plain site, nothing major (in most people's eyes) to make everyone think this is just coincidence?

Can you give me the details of how to do your tinfoil weave please?

a reply to: Chrisfishenstein

This could very well be a coordinated terrorist action. Biological warfare has always been a fear and if the opposing side is willing to use suicide bombers as weapons, using them as human petri-dishes is not a leap of the imagination at all.

Though, much like the 9/11 issue - the fact that the US Government seems to be deliberately opening the barn door as wide as they possibly can makes it smell like collusion.

Oh and the weave? I could never figure out how to get it woven in, so I just used Gorilla glue

a reply to: Hefficide

Tinfoil....Check


Gorilla glue...Check


Getting them to work together?? Crap....What am I supposed to do again?


Oh well....I will try to figure something out...Thanks anyways!

ETA: Look what Barry did after reading this..

That is one helluva EO. I think you nailed it with the lab rat analogy. The task force, DOD, USDA, FDA,HHS and VA are mandated in this to provide whatever necessary to study these potential threats. Sooooo my first thought is they will need test subjects of various ethnicity and body types to study how these diseases work. Hello lab rats!
