Ebola: Shattering the Lies and the Fakery

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. 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.
