In purposeful,
incremental steps the powers-that-be have gotten the American public into a complete,
runaway panic over Ebola.
And now that the
first case of Ebola has been reported here in the U.S., everyone’s being primed
through fear to accept whatever solution the federal government offers.
But exactly what
are they trying to sell us? And what
price – particularly in loss of civil liberties -- will we all pay for “protection”
from Ebola? Here’s what we know so far…
Hi, Steve Barwick here, for The
Silver Edge…
As you’ve likely already heard, the first so-called “confirmed case of
Ebola” in the U.S. has now taken place.
Indeed, according to this news article,
the Centers for Disease Control (i.e., CDC) has stated that “a person in Dallas
definitely has the Ebola virus.”
The person apparently travelled to the U.S. from Liberia, in West
Africa, where he was originally infected.
So he was not infected here in
the U.S. But we’re being told he brought
the virus here with him.
What’s more, people who have been in contact with this Ebola victim are
being hunted down and some are even being quarantined in their homes for 21
days (see here),
facing criminal charges if they break the quarantine.
According to a CBS News report,
up to 100 people in the Dallas area are being searched for, contacted and
potentially sent to “isolation wards” or “treatment facilities.”
“We are running
down every possible lead, anybody who’s had contact or exposure, to make
sure that we capture everybody,” said David Daigle of the CDC.
“If the people do
develop symptoms, and I hope that isn’t the case, then they might be sent to an
isolation ward or to a treatment facility.”
Well, folks, this is what I’ve been worried about. No, I’m not
in the least bit worried about a widespread “outbreak” of Ebola in this
country.
As I’ve explained in several previous articles (see here
and here) the
United States is not the same as West
Africa where people’s immune systems have been crushed by decades of grinding poverty,
disease, starvation, stress, chronic warfare, poor nutrition, horrific water
quality and more.
For the most part, we don’t suffer from conditions in this country that
are conducive to the mass public spread of a virus like Ebola.
So unless someone has “weaponized” this Ebola virus into a rapidly
spreading biological warfare virus, the likelihood of it spreading throughout
this country like it’s said to be spreading in West Africa is just about
nil.
Instead, I’m more concerned about how the federal government is planning
to use the idea of an Ebola outbreak –
the manufactured crisis, itself -- as a means of robbing Americans of their
civil liberties under the guise of “protecting” us from Ebola.
Memes and Damned Memes
A “meme” is an idea or concept which is passed along from person to
person, becoming more popular as it’s passed along. In other words, it “catches on” and becomes
popularized as it spreads.
Usually, memes are kind of cute. For
example, the zombie meme has been
very popular over the past few years, ever since the TV show The Walking Dead gained notoriety.
Ammunition manufacturers started producing “Zombie Max” bullets. T-shirt manufacturers starting producing
“Zombie Apocalypse” t-shirts. Zombie cartoons
spread across Facebook and Pinterest. Kids
started dressing up as zombies for Halloween.
That’s one example of how a meme spreads. But memes can also be used for nefarious,
propagandistic purposes. And that’s what
we’ve all been witnessing lately in regards to Ebola.
As you know, it was only two months ago that the U.S. news media began
reporting on the Ebola outbreak in West Africa.
Yet Ebola has been killing people in West Africa off and on for over 20
years. There have been numerous
outbreaks since the 1980s.
The news media barely mentions that at all. After all, it would bring up the question “If
Ebola has been around for over 20 years, and there have been numerous
outbreaks, how come Ebola hasn’t spread to the U.S. before now?”
Instead, the news media make it sound as if Ebola struck West Africa out
of the blue just a few short months ago, like an unexpected bolt of lightning.
And then, almost immediately after reporting on Ebola’s “sudden”
appearance in West Africa, the news media switched gears. They switched from an “Ebola over there” meme to an “Ebola over here” meme.
In other words, without an ounce of evidence, the news media started
talking incessantly about the
“inevitability” of Ebola’s spread to the U.S.
And in only a matter of weeks the “Ebola is coming to America” meme went…well
…viral.
Isn’t it amazing? There are about
195 countries in the world today. But
the news media drumbeat was “Ebola is coming to America”…“Ebola is coming to
America”…“Ebola is coming to America” over and over and over again.
Why America? Why not Canada? Why not Mexico? Why not France? Why not Italy? Why not Spain? Why not Greece? Why not Russia? Why not China? Why not Brazil? Why not Britain?
In other words, the news media began spreading the meme that
Ebola was on its way to this country,
and this country only, where we are told it will now “inevitably” spread, resulting in
millions upon millions of deaths -- unless, of course, it’s somehow
“contained.” And of course, the
government is here to help us “contain” it.
Incremental
Implementation
There are basically six incremental stages to a medical psychological
operations campaign. Below, I’ll explain
how all six stages have been unfolding.
But first, here’s a brief synopsis of each stage:
· Stage #1 is called
the set up stage. That’s where the population is set up to
believe in a crisis (and generally, to fear
it) through the introduction of a meme.
In this case, the meme was “Ebola is inevitably coming to America, where
it will probably kill millions.” So in
regards to the “Ebola crisis,” we’re now well past Stage #1.
· Stage #2 is called
the readiness upgrade stage. That’s where the government or its agencies
assures the public they’re getting ready
to handle the crisis. Usually, new rules
and regulations are set into place by the federal health authorities during
this stage, for use during the fifth and sixth stages to come. As you’ll see momentarily, Stage #2 has also
already taken place.
· Stage #3 is called
the example stage. That’s where the government gives you a
striking example of what to expect from them when the crisis finally
arrives. The idea is to mentally prepare
the population in advance to accept whatever plans the government tells them
are necessary. We have already passed this
stage, as well, as I’ll explain below.
· Stage #4 is called
the social proof stage. That’s where the government provides the
population with evidence (whether real or manufactured) that the crisis has
arrived. This is the stage we are at right
now, with the announcement of the quarantine of America’s first Ebola
victim in Dallas, TX on September 30, 2014, and the hunt for
additional potential victims being ongoing.
· Stage #5 is called
the revelation stage. That’s where the government finally reveals
what their true goal is in promoting the medical crisis. As of this writing, we have not yet reached
this stage.
· Finally, Stage #6
is called the enforcement stage. That’s where the government finally feels
comfortable it’s got the population right where it wants them and can freely implement
whatever plans they have in mind without the population revolting against their
plans.
As I mentioned, the “Ebola is coming to America” meme was merely Stage
#1 – the set up stage -- of this incremental
medical psychological operations campaign.
In this initial stage of the campaign, the public was saturated, day
after day, with the meme “Ebola is coming to America…it’s inevitable.”
Experts were dutifully trotted out night after night on CNN, Fox News,
ABC, NBC and all of the other news media outlets to assure Americans “Ebola is
coming to America…it’s inevitable…nothing can stop it.”
After the setup stage, you move to Stage #2 of this massive psychological
operations campaign, which is the readiness
upgrade stage.
In this stage, the public is told, “Don’t
worry. We’re taking all
precautions. We’re GETTING READY for the
inevitable arrival of the crisis. We’ve
passed new rules and regulations for your protection. Trust us.
We’ve got your best interests at heart.”
And sure enough, five or six weeks ago the Obama administration began passing
new rules and regulations allowing the federal government to quarantine
Americans – both individuals and entire cities -- on the mere suspicion of infection.
You’ll note that the federal government didn’t do the one and only
thing that could have actually stopped the virus from coming to this country:
They didn’t suspend air travel from West Africa to America. Nope.
They claimed suspending air travel from West Africa to America “wouldn’t
help.”
Can you imagine that?
Out of one side of their mouths the federal authorities claimed “Ebola
is only a single plane ride away from America.”
We heard that on the evening news practically every night.
And out of the other side of their mouths, they claimed that stopping
air travel from West Africa to America “wouldn’t help.” No reason. It just “wouldn’t help.”
Indeed, the only thing that
would actually help, the federal authorities claimed, would be giving the
federal government more power to curtail the civil liberties of all Americans
when the “inevitable” crisis strikes home.
Only they didn’t call it “curtailing civil liberties.” They called it “quarantine.” They called it “containment.” They call it “isolation.” They call it “for your own protection.” But they never called it what it actually is: suspension
of your civil liberties.
Nevertheless, last month former FDA official Scott Gottleib, M.D. clearly
and emphatically stated that the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) will indeed invoke
powers to “hold a healthy person against his will” in the event of an Ebola
outbreak in this country.
Then, just a week ago, the federal authorities moved into Stage 3 of the
campaign, which is called the example
stage.
We were suddenly told that in the West African nation of Liberia, where
the Ebola crisis was said to be striking particularly hard, the health
authorities were instituting “forced quarantines,” because “Ebola victims
weren’t cooperating with medical authorities.”
Cooperation, you see, is critical.
Uncooperative sick people are a dire threat. You can’t have that. So the authorities in Liberia began tracking
down “Ebola victims” (read: anyone with
even so much as a cold, sniffle or sore throat), and carting them off to “field
hospitals” where they were forced into isolation from the general public.
Then they began tracking down people who had come into contact with
these alleged Ebola victims – dozens and dozens and dozens of people -- and
began carting them off to special places of “isolation” as well, where they
could be “watched for signs of Ebola.”
And to thoroughly emphasize this stage of the operation, the Obama
administration sent 3,000 U.S. troops over to Liberia to “help” the Liberians
institute their “necessary strict quarantine measures.”
What’s more, the news media incessantly publicized this deployment of U.S.
troops to Liberia on the nightly news. You
see, it’s very important to make sure everyone understands that you must “cooperate”
during the “crisis.” Cooperate, or we’ll
shoot you. It’s for the public good, you
see.
Now stop for a moment and think about that. And if you’ll think about it honestly, you’ll
realize that’s the entire purpose of
the “Ebola crisis” in a nutshell. That’s
what’s coming here, to America: Forced
cooperation. For the public good, of course.
The example has now been set. The
nightly news played it out for us, step-by-step, explaining why it was so
important to send troops to affect quarantine in Liberia. And now the American public has been psychologically prepared for the same thing
to happen here.
This is how it works, folks. They
always tell you what’s coming, first.
Then they implement each stage of the campaign, incrementally.
Next, we come to Stage #4, of this massive psychological operations campaign,
which is called the social proof
stage. This is where the powers-that-be
quite literally introduce the scourge locally.
They announce, “Ebola is here, in
America! We told you it was coming, and
we were right. Listen to us, because we
know what we’re talking about.”
This is the stage we’re at today, with the individual in Dallas, TX
being confirmed as having an Ebola infection, and other people being hunted and
contacted and in some cases actually forcibly quarantined by health authorities.
Don’t you think it’s fascinating that only one month ago, an
“international team of scientists” using data supplied by the World Health
Organization publicly predicted
that Ebola would reach the U.S. by the
end of September?
Again, I ask you, how could they possibly
have known that? How could they have
known it would reach America by the end of September, and not October or
November or December or January?
How could they have known it would reach America, and not Ireland…not Scotland …not China…not Australia…not
New Zealand…not Canada…not Mexico…not South America…but only America?
Indeed, Ebola miraculously jumped over every country between West Africa
and America without touching a one of
them. It came straight to
America. Pretty amazing, don’t you
think?
You see, America – the “land of the free, and the home of the brave” -- is
the target of this incremental medical
psychological operations campaign. And you’re the victim. The question is, what do the perpetrators of
this operation actually want from
you?
I believe the answer is this:
They want you to be quite willing to give up your civil liberties, in
return for “protection” from the Ebola virus.
As author and investigative reporter Jon Rappaport has recently written,
with the advent of Ebola in the U.S. the surveillance state is now well on its
way to kicking into high gear, in its guise as a the “friend of the people”:
Now that the US
has its own "Ebola case number 1" in isolation at a Dallas hospital,
it can swing into gear tracking his/her contacts, and the contacts of those
contacts.
…It's hunt and
search and isolate in America. And if
this campaign gains real steam, the Surveillance State will be deployed, as a
"friend of the people."
NSA, state-run spy
operations, video cams on streets; whatever is necessary to "stem the
rising tide of the Ebola nightmare."
This is a perfect
way for surveillance advocates to win love for their Machine from the public. "We
told you the NSA was absolutely necessary in order to protect the American
people. Here's the proof. We can hunt and find carriers of the dreaded virus,
and you and your children will be safe."
You can also look
for the Obamacare apparatus to chime in. New regulations to combat Ebola make
it necessary to break doctor-patient confidentiality and share medical records.
The sharing can be taken to new lengths, in order to locate "Ebola
contacts," or as the police would call them, persons of interest.
We are looking at
a confluence of the Patriot Act, CDC epidemic-intelligence foot-soldiers, the
NSA, Obamacare, medical ID packages for all citizens, and even community groups
who "should be on the lookout" for people "displaying Ebola symptoms."
Some of these
symptoms, such as fever, fatigue, and cough are so general that they'll spawn
overeager helpers (aka busybodies yearning for official status).
And in case it
hasn't become clear by now, one of the primary objectives of Obamacare (and any
national health insurance plan) is laying down requirements that enrollees,
sooner or later, must follow:
Take all
prescribed medications; follow the official vaccine schedule. In time of
crisis, especially, accept all medical dictates.
What’s Next?
Stage #5, which is coming next, is where we find out what the federal
authorities really want. I call it the revelation stage.
Some people, such as investigative reporter Jon Rappaport above, have
speculated that in this stage of the operation the federal government is going
to mandate a mass population vaccination
program for Ebola.
That’s quite possible. The news
media has been rife with accounts of the “heroic efforts” by researchers to
come up with a viable Ebola vaccine “in time to save us.”
Other observers claim it will be a quarantine program that will be set
in place in order to get Americans used to being “locked down,” much as the
city of Boston was locked down – with heavily armed tactical police and
military-style vehicles in the streets – directly after the Boston Marathon
bombing in 2013.
Maybe there will be both. Maybe
neither. It simply remains to be seen
what the plan and the ultimate goal of the federal government is in this
massive psychological operations campaign.
On a personal note, however, I find it quite difficult to believe it’s
only a coincidence that Ebola’s
arrival to the U.S. is taking place at the very beginning of our normal flu
season.
After all, in a very few short weeks from now, literally millions of Americans will be suffering
from common flu symptoms like fever, chills, sore throat, congestion, coughing,
fatigue, general malaise and even vomiting and diarrhea.
It’s the flu, of course, but it’s all
of the exact same initial symptoms of a budding Ebola infection.
So between now and the advent of the flu season, all the news media need
do is generate more “fear porn” by treating the American public to a few more
examples of the “social proof” stage of the campaign, in which more Ebola
victims turn up in the U.S.
The American public will be worked up into a frenzy. And everyone
with a sore throat, fever, cough, lung congestion or vomiting is going to be
running to their local Emergency Room demanding to know if they “have Ebola” and
calling on the federal government “do something” about the unfolding “Ebola
crisis.”
The fear has already been programmed into collective psyche of the
American public, thanks to the news media.
And with normal flu season symptoms combined with news of more Ebola
victims in the U.S., the American public will be quite ready to buy whatever
solution the federal authorities offer in Stage #5 of this massive
psychological operations campaign.
And Stage #6, the enforcement
stage, will be just around the corner after that. The question that remains to be answered is, what’s the federal government actually
selling?
I can only answer that we’ll find out soon enough.
Colloidal Silver
and Ebola
I continue to see online articles claiming colloidal silver is the
“proven cure for Ebola.”
I’ve written about this over and over and over again: Colloidal silver is not the proven cure for Ebola.
There’s not been a single documented
case of a person who’s recovered from Ebola by taking colloidal silver.
But there is evidence that
colloidal silver *might* be helpful, with the operative word being “might.”
After all, colloidal
silver is indeed effective against a number of viruses, including
respiratory viruses. This has been
demonstrated in numerous studies which you can read at the link in this
paragraph. Or, see www.ColloidalSilverKillsViruses.com.
What’s more, as I've reported in recent articles, a division of the U.S.
Defense Department apparently did indeed find, in a
test tube study conducted in 2009, that the Ebola virus had a hard time
replicating inside human cells if those
cells were first inoculated with extremely tiny silver nanosparticles before
being infected with the virus.
Unfortunately, according to the DOD study, applying nanosilver after the fact (i.e., after the cells
had already become infected with Ebola) did nothing to stop the virus from
replicating. The cells had to be pre-inoculated with silver in order to
hinder viral replication.
So as I've speculated in previous articles (see here
and here),
it’s at least within the realm of possibility that antimicrobial silver might help prevent Ebola virus infection
-- if it’s being used before
exposure to the virus, so that the body is already inoculated with silver in
advance.
Here’s what I wrote in those two
previous articles:
Thinking Out Loud:
Here’s What I’d Do in Case of Ebola
People have written to ask me, “Steve, how much colloidal silver would
you have to take in order to protect yourself from an Ebola infection?”
And of course, the answer is, no one knows for sure. As I
mentioned, the DOD research discussed above was in vitro (i.e.,
laboratory test tube) research.
And while it demonstrated that very small particles of silver at
surprisingly low concentrations could stop the Ebola virus in infected cells
from replicating and spreading, it in no way gives us so much as a clue as to
how much colloidal silver a living human being would have to
take in order to achieve the same results – if that were even possible.
Now I know that’s probably not what you want to hear. But
just as I refuse to join in with all of the doom-and-gloom hype about the
supposed coming worldwide Ebola apocalypse, in like manner I also refuse to
join in with those making blanket statements that colloidal silver is the
sure-fire “cure” for Ebola.
Under real-life conditions, it might, or might not prove
to be effective.
And if colloidal silver did prove to be effective, the
research seems to indicate it would depend upon getting the right dose of very
small silver particles into your body, early enough in the infective process to
stop viral replication.
Indeed, it appears that to have the very best chance of
protection, utilizing colloidal silver in small amounts on a daily basis would
be the way to go.
In other words, based on the DOD study, daily prophylactic dosing with
colloidal silver before exposure to the Ebola virus would
appear to provide significantly better protection than dosing after exposure.
This is just one reason why I continue to take my usual one-ounce per
day dosage of colloidal silver, which is just about right for my body weight.
(See “How
Much Colloidal Silver Can You Take Safely Each Day?” to learn the simple
formula for determining your safe daily colloidal silver dosage, based on your
body weight and the ppm of the colloidal silver solution you’re using.)
But again, since there’s been no in vivo testing that I
know of (i.e., no testing of colloidal silver usage in a real-life human being infected
with Ebola) there’s simply no way to know for an absolute certainty if regular
oral use of colloidal silver would provide an adequate amount of protection
upon exposure to the Ebola virus.
Nebulizing Colloidal Silver
Some people have pointed out that in the event of exposure to the Ebola
virus, immediately nebulizing with colloidal silver (i.e., inhaling an atomized
mist of colloidal silver into the lungs, using a device called a medical
nebulizer) would be a potentially effective way to get colloidal silver into
the bloodstream, cells and tissues of the human body quickly and
effectively.
And that’s a very good
possibility. Why? Because just about anything inhaled
into the lungs has a far better chance of making it into the bloodstream, cells
and tissues of the body faster than oral ingestion.
Indeed, were I to suspect that I’d just been exposed to a person
infected with Ebola, probably the first thing I’d do would be
to high-tail it back home, break out my medical nebulizer, fill the little
basin with very small particle size colloidal silver of 10 ppm concentration,
turn the machine on and inhale the colloidal silver mist into my lungs for five
or six minutes.
And I’d probably repeat the process every few hours for up to five or
six times.
(See “Using
Colloidal Silver With a Nebulizer” to learn what the experts say about
nebulizing colloidal silver, including a brief video demonstration of how easy
it is to use a medical nebulizer.)
After that, if the colloidal silver didn’t work, it would be too late
anyway, as the viral replication kicks into high gear after several hours, and
antimicrobial silver only works during the first few hours according to the DOD
report.
Now all of that is pure layman’s speculation on my part in terms of what
might work. I'm just talking off the top of my head. I'm no
doctor. And I'm not "prescribing" for anyone else, of
course.
After all, nobody’s ever had to do this before. So
use of oral doses of colloidal silver for Ebola is an unknown factor in terms
of knowing how much to use, how to use it effectively, and when to use
it.
But based on the DOD research, it would seem to me that the key would be
quick action utilizing 10 ppm colloidal silver with a very small particle size,
and getting it into the cells and tissues of the body as quickly as
possible.
Even more preferable, the research suggests, would be to take a small
amount of colloidal silver prophylactically (i.e., before the fact), on a daily
basis, so it’s already in the body in the event of exposure to Ebola.
One More Interesting Thought
My good friend Skip W. wrote to say that if he were in an area where
Ebola virus outbreaks were taking place, one thing he’d do is wear a protective
face mask any time he had to go out into the public, such as to the supermarket
or mall.
I believe he’s talking about the white surgical face masks, for example,
like those you see doctors wearing in the surgical ward. These
light-weight surgical masks are often available on various survivalist-oriented
or “prepper” websites.
In fact, I just now went to Amazon.com, and using their search engine I
typed in the search terms “surgical face mask” and “antimicrobial face mask.” Those
two search terms brought up an amazing array of such masks, at fairly
reasonable prices.
Skip also pointed out that he’d saturate the mask on both sides with a
fine mist of colloidal silver and allow it to air dry before putting it on to
go out into the public.
And he said he’d also lightly spray his hands and face with colloidal
silver at the same time, and allow it to air dry, as well.
Skip explained “I'm asthmatic, and I've done this before as a
precautionary measure when going out into the public during flu outbreaks, for
example. I may look a bit strange but I seldom ever get the flu.”
Obviously, Skip is a forward thinker. And it’s probably not a
bad idea to take such precautions should the situation truly warrant
it.
In Conclusion…
We've seen that there are basically six stages to a successful medical
psychological operations campaign.
And we've seen that right now in this country, with the announcement of
America’s first Ebola victim being quarantined in a Dallas, TX hospital, we've just now entered Stage #4, the “social proof” stage.
The next two stages of the operation will be crucial. The federal government will ultimately reveal
what it really wants (i.e., Stage #5, the “revelation” stage). And this will be followed with Stage #6, the
“enforcement” stage.
With the winter flu season upon is, it will be interesting to see if
more Ebola victims turn up in the U.S., and if the population is told to start
watching for people exhibiting symptoms such as sore throats, coughs, chest
congestion, fatigue, fever, chills, vomiting and general malaise.
What will the federal government do with millions of seasonal flu
victims exhibiting symptoms that are nearly identical to a budding Ebola
infection? We don’t yet know.
But one thing you can do is prepare
in advance to fend off any flu virus symptoms by reading the following
articles:
·
Colloidal Silver versus Cold and Flu Viruses – a brief overview of the effectiveness of colloidal silver against cold
and flu.
·
Beating the Winter Cold and Flu Season With Colloidal
Silver – a comprehensive synopsis of how experienced
colloidal silver users have beaten cold and flu viral infections with colloidal
silver.
·
Colloidal Silver and the Flu Epidemic – what to do when a particularly nasty flu strikes, and your colloidal
silver doesn’t seem to be working?
Finally, and perhaps most importantly
of all, you can learn how to make
your own high-quality colloidal silver, quickly and easily, in the comfort
and privacy of your own home, for less
than 36 cents a quart, with a brand new Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver
