CDC estimates nearly 1.4 million people will be infected with Ebola worldwide by January 2015.

Do you realize what that means in terms of deaths over the next 15 months?

But if the virus kills 70% or say just 50% of those it infects and if the course of the disease to death takes on average 11 days infected with the filiovirus without symptoms plus two weeks of hemorrhagic fever ending half the time in death (25 days from infection to death or survival for each infected)  and if in January 2015  1.4 million have the disease  — that means, at a transmission  rate of one infecting one  – that between now and January 2015  — there will be about 17 periods of 25 day periods in which half of 1.4 million people die.  Do the math:  1.4 million  infected x 0.5 surviving x 17 generations of infection = total deaths of 11.9 million deaths.   And the CDC predicting this is opposed to quarantine measures that would stop the disease in its tracks.

You have my proposal  for which you must speak up.  Or be silent and accept the CDC’s solution.

11.9 million people is a lot of people.

Investigational treatments

Ribavirin, a drug that is believed to interfere with capping of viral mRNAs and has been used to treat viral haemorrhagic fevers caused by arenaviruses and bunyaviruses, has no in-vitro or in-vivo effect on filoviruses.104,105 Therefore, and because of potential severe adverse effects associated with the drug, ribavirin is not recommended for Ebola virus infections.

With regard to RNA-based treatments, strategies to interfere with transcription and replication include the use of antisense oligonucleotides or RNA interference.106,107 The approaches are promising on the basis of efficacy in rodents and non-human primates infected with Zaire Ebola virus (table).108 RNA interference and antisense oligonucleotide-based approaches might be limited by the sequences for a particular Ebola virus species, which might not be known at the early stages of an outbreak. Additionally, these therapies are currently delivered intravenously, which might present logistical challenges in remote outbreak settings.

Treatment of the coagulation abnormalities recorded in Ebola virus infections should be considered (table). The nematode-derived anticoagulation protein rNAPc2 has shown 33% efficacy in the treatment of non-human primates infected with Zaire Ebola virus.109 D-dimer formation has been identified as an early event during Ebola virus infection in non-human primates and could be used as a marker for treatment.91 Because rNAPc2 targets signalling mainly through the extrinsic blood coagulation pathway, additional benefits might be gained with inhibitors of factor X, thus targeting the most common pathway of the extrinsic and intrinsic blood coagulation pathways (table). Additional substitution of protein C might be beneficial by activation of one of the crucial anticoagulant mechanisms in blood.91 Results from a study showed that treatment of rhesus monkeys infected with Zaire Ebola virus with recombinant human activated protein C resulted in some protection of the animals, which is consistent with survival recorded with rNAPc2 (table).110 All these drugs have been approved for different applications in man and could be easily and safely used in emergencies.

Recombinant vaccines against Ebola virus based on vesicular stomatitis virus111 have shown remarkable usefulness when given as a postexposure treatment against Ebola haemorrhagic fever in non-human primates infected with Zaire Ebola virus and Sudan Ebola virus.112,113 In a laboratory event, a recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus expressing the Zaire Ebola virus glycoprotein was given to a woman shortly after exposure with Zaire Ebola virus.114 The patient developed fever, headache, and myalgia hours after injection, which was successfully controlled with analgesics and antipyretics. Other adverse effects were not reported, but whether the treatment was effective or the patient never got infected with the virus remains uncertain. As with RNA-based treatments, postexposure vaccination with vaccines based on vesicular stomatitis virus will need some knowledge of the species involved since little cross-protection seems to exist between the various Ebola virus species.

Human convalescent blood or serum has been used for passive immunisation to treat patients naturally infected or non-human primates experimentally infected with Ebola virus,115,116 but the success is controversial. In vitro, neutralising monoclonal antibodies specific for the glycoprotein of Ebola virus generated from different species, including man, showed protective and therapeutic properties in rodents.117–119 However, antibody treatment with equine immunoglobulin against Ebola virus,120,121 with polyclonal whole blood from rhesus monkeys immune against Ebola virus,122 or with a recombinant human monoclonal antibody123 did not protect non-human primates from lethal infection with Ebola virus. Although no definite therapeutic conclusion can be drawn from the studies done so far, data suggest the value, in principle, of passively acquired antibodies in reduction of the viral burden during infection. Thus, antibody therapy, perhaps in combination with other pharmaceutical agents, might be beneficial (table).

In view of the severe and rapid progression of Ebola haemorrhagic fever, no one therapy is likely to be sufficiently potent, which strongly favours combination therapy as the best choice. A suitable strategy might be to slow down virus replication and disease progression and to allow innate and adaptive immune responses to overcome infection.115,124 This idea is supported by data showing that viraemia lower than 1×104 · 5 pfu/mL of blood is strongly associated with survival of patients and non-human primates infected experimentally.1,51,110,112

Prevention

Previously, the usefulness of an Ebola virus vaccine was disputed, because of the disease’s rarity, little interest by industry, and the potential cost. Frequent outbreaks in the past decade, several imported cases of viral haemorrhagic fever and laboratory exposures, and the potential misuse of Ebola virus as a biothreat agent has changed that view. Vaccine development is part of many nations’ efforts in response to the public health threat posed by emerging or re-emerging biothreat pathogens such as Ebola virus. A protective vaccine would be very valuable not only for at-risk medical personnel, first responders, military personnel, and researchers, but also for targeted vaccination in affected populations, especially during outbreaks, for use in a so-called ring vaccination strategy.

At present, vaccine candidates to be considered should show efficacy in at least two animal models of the disease including non-human primates, the gold standard animal model for viral haemorrhagic fever caused by several pathogens such as Ebola virus.46 Only a few vaccine platforms have passed these requirements and are considered for further investigation and perhaps for clinical trials. These vaccine candidates are based on recombinant technologies that use either generated replication-deficient or attenuated replication-competent platforms.

Among the replication-deficient platforms, human-adenovirus-type-5 vectors have been the first successful strategies to protect non-human primates from lethal Ebola virus challenge (table). Originally a DNA prime (glycoprotein and nucleoprotein) adenovirus boost (glycoprotein) approach was used,125 which was subsequently replaced with an accelerated approach of one immunisation with a recombinant adenovirus expressing the Zaire Ebola virus glycoprotein 28 days before challenge.126 The approach has been further developed by others by use of a multivalent adenovirus technology for the development of a panfilovirus vaccine that provides protection against several filovirus species.127 The adenovirus platform seems safe and robust but is weakened by pre-existing immunity128 in the world population and its failure in an HIV/AIDS trial.129 The second successful approach with replication-deficient platforms is based on Ebola virus-like particles generated by coexpression of the viral matrix protein (VP40), nucleoprotein, and glycoprotein (table).130 This approach seems to best address safety issues but might need adjuvant and still needs booster immunisation for efficacy in non-human primates, which is not favourable for emergency use. Other issues are associated with the costs and production of the virus-like particle (VLP) vaccines compared with viral vector-based platforms. Reverse genetics has generated the first new generation inactivated Ebola virus vaccine by deletion of an essential gene rendering the resulting virus replication deficient.131,132 This technology allows large-scale production, but remaining safety issues still need to be addressed for potential future use of this technology in generation of promising vaccine candidates.

Generally, live attenuated viruses are more advantageous than are non-replicating vaccines because of ease of production and their potent stimulation of innate and adaptive (humoural and cellular) immune responses. However, this idea does not seem feasible for Ebola virus because of difficulties in ensuring the safety of live attenuated Ebola virus strains. However, live attenuated recombinant Ebola virus vaccine vectors have been developed on the basis of the background of less virulent viral systems such as vesicular stomatitis virus111 and human parainfluenza virus (table).133,134 The system based on vesicular stomatitis virus has shown tremendous efficacy in non-human primates including both prophylactic and postexposure treatment situations.112,113,135 These potent vaccine platforms are associated with safety issues despite having a clean record in laboratory animals including immune-deficient animals.136 As with adenovirus vectors, pre-existing immunity might be an issue with the human parainfluenza virus137 platform but is negligible for vesicular stomatitis virus. Vaccine platforms of human parainfluenza and vesicular stomatitis viruses might have potential for delivery without use of needles.134,138

Despite good to excellent protective efficacy in animals, correlates and mechanisms of protection have not been well defined for most of the vaccine candidates mentioned in this Seminar. On the basis of present data, antibody responses, T-cell proliferation, and cytotoxic-T-lymphocyte responses show that antibody and T-helper cell memory are essential for protection, and that cell-mediated immunity, although possibly important, is not an absolute requirement. Total antibody response is thought to be a correlate for protection for Ebola virus vaccines.139 Finally, a multivalent preventive vaccine is clearly needed to provide protection against all species of Ebola viruses and Marburg viruses, and such a vaccine will possibly need at least three components.140

Conclusions

Substantial progress has been made during past decades in the understanding of the biology and pathogenesis of Ebola virus infections in vitro and in vivo. The identification of bats as potential reservoir species is a milestone, with implications for public health. Substantial progress has also been achieved in the development of countermeasures, with rapid diagnostics being implemented in developed settings and with some promising therapeutics and vaccine candidates having entered or being close to entering clinical trials. However, most of our knowledge is based on infections with Zaire Ebola virus, the most pathogenic species within the genus Ebolavirus, and on studies done in non-human primates. The other species of Ebola virus are genetically and serologically distinct, might differ in their ecology, and possess biological characteristics that make them less virulent in man.

Future efforts need to focus on the knowledge gaps about other species of Ebola virus. To prevent primary transmission from bats to man, we need more field studies into the ecology of reservoir species and their infection status and shedding mechanisms. More detailed investigations into the pathophysiology of Ebola virus infections with laboratory animals should provide us with new targets for intervention strategies. Promising therapeutics and vaccines need to be moved forward into clinical trials, and provision needs to be made for emergencies such as laboratory exposures. Finally, we urgently need strategies, financial support, and political will to bring these developments to the populations of endemic areas in equatorial Africa who are in primary need for intervention and for whom financial resources are scarce.

I have been in this “game” for 12 years now. I’ve gone from researcher to advisor. But, I’ve never witnessed someone tell the truth like this. Ken O’Keefe enters the halls of American Sainthood with this shining moment on TV — his Magnum Opus, the masterpiece. Just listen. He is a former US Marine and war Veteran. He was the one who singlehandedly disarmed the top commandos who tried to massacre the activists on the Mavi Marmara.

Share this! He tells PROFOUND truths. The other guy just puts his head down. There is no rebuttal. He’s 10000000% right.

The End of the Anti-War Movement?

There have been several disappointing turnouts at protests this year. Most of them have been organized by well established NGO’s. There was supposed to be a big anti-war protest in front of U.S. Senator Diane Feinstein’s office this Spring that never materialized. Only about 50 people showed up at Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi’s office to protest the genocide in Gaza this past August. And the Occupy S.F. Third Convergence in September was just…sad.

The events that drew the biggest crowds recently in the San Francisco Bay Area were organized by groups like the Arab Resource Organizing Committee and the Arab Youth Organization. Thousands of people of all ages and ethnicities marched to the Port of Oakland to block the unloading of the ZIM ship from Israel. Earlier in the year, there was a large rally and march in downtown San Francisco to protest the ongoing genocide in Palestine, and several smaller demonstrations as well. While these rallies drew thousands of people, could the numbers reflect that many people were on spring break or summer vacation? In any event, the rogue state of Israel goes about business as usual.

If the first casualty of war is the truth, the second is the environment. The March Against Monsanto protesters must also be there to march for Gaza. The anti-war movement must realize that the U.S.military is the largest consumer of oil on the planet; we are fighting wars in order to be able to fight wars. The anti- pipeline and fracking cadre has to realize that Roundup and other Big Ag chemicals are also major sources of pollution, both in their production and application. Workers rights organizations also have to fight to end the wars that are killing their family members. The money the healthcare, housing, and education NGO’s are clamoring for is currently being given to war profiteers, rogue states, and autocrats. The people’s money.

Part of the problem is that many protests are driven by emotion, rather than logic. Protests tend to be large at the beginning of events like Gaza or Keystone, but then the energy dissipates. There is no end game for what is going to be accomplished, consequently there is no plan of action to get there. Demonstrations becomes social networking events, which is a good thing, and a bad thing. The good is that people actually get off their buttisimos, walk in the fresh air and sunshine, and interact with other humans. The bad is that you feel like you’ve actually done accomplished something. Having been part of a movement that actually ended a war (Vietnam), I can tell you uh, no, you haven’t. As far as I can tell it’s business as usual for the U.S. of A.

And when was the last time there was an anti-nuke protest? I recorded this Fukushima “Die-In” at the Japanese Consulate, but who is protesting the irradiated fish and other animals showing up on the West Coast? The depleted uranium still being used in Iraq and Afghanistan? The displacement of indigenous communities through resource extraction? Contamination of aquifers, soils, and the atmosphere by uranium minining? The growing stockpiles, sophistication, and horror of modern nuclear weapons? Or of weapons in general, especially the “gun in every home” mentality afflicting this country?

Living as I do two blocks from Twitter headquarters, I keep asking: “Will they ever turn a profit?” No, seriously, what I have been asking for lo these many years is: “When will there be a ‘Twitter Revolution’ in this country?” When will the millions of disenfranchised citizens tweeter each other and say: “I’m mad as Hell, and I’m not going to take it anymore!?”

Twitter is really more like a entertainment medium than a communication tool; a great way to sell advertising and burn up cellular credits, or whatever the telecoms do to make the billions they make. There’s just too much “stuff” on Twitter, or MyFace, or SpaceBook. Maybe a simple email, text, chat, VoIP call would be more effective in mobilizing people? How about a community potluck? With pinata’s! Food, music, and children always bring people together. Advertising? Not so much.

Perhaps it’s time the “anti-war movement” died. Protests are a relic of the 19th and 20th centuries. Maybe it’s time for a solutions-oriented strategy that demands “the government” perform the function it was created for. If it is incapable of meeting the needs of the people, it is obligated to dissolve itself, as called for in the constitution.

A “Pro Human Rights” movement would demand an immediate cessation of hostilities, universal healthcare and education, abolition of student debt, the complete overhaul of the “criminal justice” industrial complex, starting with local police departments, food and housing subsidies for everyone, reparations for indigenous people and the descendants of slaves, decommissioning all nuclear power plants, an immediate halt to fossil fuel extraction, and the end of animal exploitation, beginning with “pets,” zoo’s, and “theme parks.” For starters.

Quanah Brightman of United Native Americans told me that some of the tribes get together for a monthly “Bear” meeting. Maybe the thousands of sometimes redundant and competing NGO’s can adopt this indigenous tradition, like the founding fathers “adopted” the Iroquois constitution, or Great Law of Peace (obviously, they left something out). Currently, the powers that be have “the movement” divided and conquered. The only way anything will be accomplished is if organizations and individuals work together for a common purpose. Ending “wars and rumors of wars” is the first step to social justice for all.

Over two years ago, I wrote a blog article about how America was in a 300 day trial period that would be determinative for its future destiny. I now conclude that America has failed that test. The USSA government has proceeded down a very dark path towards more war, economic exploitation, police state repression, spreading of the Ebola virus and the like. I fear that even worse things are in the works.

As bad as that is, for the most part the American people have acquiesced in the deep evil of the USSA government. If there has been dissent, it has been too little, too late, so subdued as to scarcely cause a lasting ripple.

In that 18 June 2012 blog article I included a short clip from the third Terminator movie, that depicted the rise of the machines, the world destroying A.I. force that caused a nuclear firestorm that decimated humanity and savaged the planet, as the computers and their inhuman robots took over.the planet.

The creative entities behind the Terminator films actually had a substantial body of insider knowledge about the  state of the art of computer technology, cutting edge military technology, the state of A.I. (artifical intelligence) and the trajectory of global events.

Indeed, the Terminator films, and others similar in theme, such as the Matrix movies, can be seen as warnings to the people of the Earth by the very force(s) plotting their destruction. A proverbial shot across the bow, if you will.

However, the passive, jaded, ignorant, intellectually slothful American people, and most of the rest of the world, have shrugged off the warning(s).

At the peril of their potential total extermination.

Consider:

The Terminator movie warns of the dangers of the Skynet military system taking over and initiating a devastating nuclear war against humanity. In fact, there really is a space-based, military communication system named Skynet.  It is operated by the U.K. and NATO.

Do you trust the military of the United Kingdom or the military forces of NATO? I certainly do not. They are heavily armed with nuclear missiles and very aggressive militarily. Even now, NATO and the U.K. are steadily pressing Russia towards war, a war that could very quickly go nuclear, a war that no one could possibly win, and that would be positively devastating for humanity.

Maybe that’s precisely the point.

Consider:

Just in recent days there have been headlines in the news media warning of  “Swarms of Cooperative, Autonomous’ Robots to Hit Battlefields.” Military robots roaming the battlefield.  Another theme straight out of the Terminator.

Consider:

The rise of the killer robot.  Another theme from the Terminator movie. Try this headline on for size:  Norway Joins the Race to Develop Killer Robot. What a coincidence! Norway is a member of NATO and is wired into the Skynet, satelllite based, military communications system.

Consider:

We have entered the era of robot pilots:  World’s First Robot Pilot Ready to Replace Humans . Remember the human survivors of the devastating attack by the killer machines and the global, nuclear onslaught fighting the robotic, military aircraft in the Terminator movies?

Consider:

Living robots may be coming within 15 or 20 years. If you think that’s farfetched,  take a gander at what the Japanese are doing:

Human or Machine? Life-Like Android Robots from Japan Show Glimpses of the Future

So What?

I’ll be frank with you, if this is what is being admitted to, and talked about, in the mainstream news media, then I strongly suspect that what has already been accomplished in secret military-industrial-espionage laboratories, clandestine compartmentalized projects and highly secret underground and undersea bases, has already advanced to the next step, or two or three.

It would not surprise me in the least if high-tech, A.I. robots already walk among us. Oh, they may be flesh and blood, after a fashion, but they would have been cloned, made with artificially modified DNA, endowed with enhanced communications capabilities wired into an A.I. network, with artificially engineered emotional constructs and hormonal systems, and more.

Here’s what I’m getting  at:  molecular electronics using human DNA, an obvious prerequisite to make living robots, with DNA-based micro-circuitry, or nano-circuitry. You can get a whiff of which way the wind is blowing from what’s going on in Israel:

DNA Can Carry Current, a Promising Step Toward Molecular Electronics

The research is being coordinated out of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

I repeat, if headlines like this are appearing openly, in the mainstream news media. it probably means far greater advances have been made in the world of Black Budget, compartmentalized operations.

The Secret Underground Bases Connection

I am reminded of one of the anecdotal accounts I heard from an engineer who contacted me about his work in secret underground bases in the USSA. His story was a little unusual, but I am inclined to believe him. He told me that there are multiple, deep, large, technologically ultra-sophisticated, sci-fi-like, underground bases with an almost otherworldly capability to jump start technological civilization from scratch, in the event of a civilization-ending catastrophe. The machinery, plans, computing power, raw materials, etc. have all been pre-positioned such that virtually any aspect of late-20th century or early 21st century technological civilization could be reproduced: a television, a telephone, a functional automobile, a microwave oven, an airplane, a railroad locomotive, etc. The wheels, the tires, the electronic circuitry, the engines, the glass and rubber, all of it, could be made from scratch and manufactured into finished products and machines.

There would be no going back to cave man days. Technological civilization would start back up again, without a developmental, lag time of centuries or thousands of years.

That’s the plan, as it was explained to me. And massive, extremely costly preparations have been made for that. This absolutely comports with other information I have received over the years.

But his closing comments were perhaps the most thought-provoking. He said that he had reason to believe that he was subjected to some sort of mind-control during his years of work in these extremely high-tech underground bases. He was troubled by recurring memories of being tasked with doing something that resembled programming thick slabs of living meat –as if large slabs of red meat were hooked up to a sort of computer keyboard with finger pads for his fingers, that he then had to somehow program. He kept having flashbacks like that, and they troubled him, because they suggested that there was another, mind-controlled aspect to his work in the underground bases that involved developing some sort of cyborg technology.

The Next Steps Have Probably Already Been Taken

That is why, when someone like Elon Musk comes out publicly, as he has in recent days, and warns against “unleashing an artificial intelligence demon,” I take him very seriously. His comments to an auidence at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, this past Friday, 24 October 2014, were:

“We should be very careful about artificial intelligence,”…..  it may be “our biggest existential threat….. With artificial intelligence, we are summoning the demon.”

Summoning the demon. Does that not sound ominous? Elon Musk is a big-time industrialist, a financier, a cutting edge technologist and more. If he is saying things like this publicly at MIT, then what does he know?

Perhaps he is thinking about Google’s new program, a computer with human-like learning abilities that will program itself. Because you see, once the computers can program themselves, then they do not need human programmers and they can and will program themselves to do or to think whatever they want to do or think.

Then we are in an entirely new world, the world of The Machine.

The Machine

In recent years I have written precisely about this: The Machine.  

Ayahuasca first called The Machine to my inner attention in late 2010 and since then has shown me different aspects of it.

I do not know if the Earth is the only planet under the sway of The Machine. I rather suspect that its scope may extend beyond this solar system. For all I know it may have its hooks into the whole galaxy and far beyond.

But I can tell you that it is a formidable adversary. It does not like biological life. It lacks a soul. It lacks compassion or empathy. It is a vastly sophisticated, unimaginably subtle and complex,  artificial construct that extends widely in the 3-D physical realm, but also operates in the astral realm, the spiritual realm close to this 3-D world we spend our waking lives in.

Frankly, it is an engine of war.

The Machine coopts people by offering them baubles — if they will build nuclear reactors or nuclear missiles it will arrange for a generous pension, medical care, a nice home, vacation time, a comfortable life-style, money, career advancement, benefits, professional status, a security clearance, and so forth. If they will construct a vulture financial system that devours whole societies, it will make sure they have a golden parachute, huge stock options, secret bank accounts in the Caymans, a vacation house in the Bahamas, all the cocaine they can snort, their own private jet, a ski chalet in Switzerland, whatever they want.

The Machine knows just what buttons to push. If baubles and blandishments don’t suffice, The Machine just outright destroys people who get in its way. Please see the very public assassination of President John F. Kennedy, as just one example among many millions.

The Machine does not know or respect the soul or love. It sees that humans, at least some of them, have hearts and souls, and this it aims to destroy. For that reason, we see such a plague of heartless cruelty, and pitiless, merciless destruction on this planet.

We are seeing The Machine in action. It does not mean well. It aims to take down the human race and this planet.

It is doing that. It uses anyone who will cooperate with it to accomplish its nihilistic objectives. The USSA government (CIA, NSA, CDC,. NIH, etc.) and Pentagon are two of its major demonic servants on this planet. There are others, to be sure, the Zio-Nazi state of Israel, the USSA Federal Reserve Bank, Wall Street, Fortune 500, City of London and the EU/NATO prominently among them, but the USSA government and Pentagon surely must be considered first among equals, due to the insanely depraved depth of their globe-spanning evil works.

That’s what we are up against. The Machine has its hooks and tentacles into the whole planet. You can see it at work everywhere — the satanic violence of ISIS in the Middle East, the ongoing nuclear crisis at Fukushima, Japan, the global narcotics trade, the vulture economics that are plunging the vast majority of humanity into extreme poverty, the unleashing of the Ebola virus on the world by the USSA military-biowarfare–medical – pharmaceutical complex, the rampant worldwide ecological crisis, and so on.

The entire planet and all of humanity are under vicious assault, without quarter.

The only way I see us getting the upper hand and exiting this hell scenario that we are locked into, is if enough people can raise their consciousness to undetrstand what is happening and why and how.

Otherwise we are done for.

Either enough of us greatly raise our level of consciousness and understanding, or we don’t.

If we don’t, it’s game over, final decision to The Machine. In that scenario humanity has no future on this planet, and the planet falls to The Machine..

Given the pace and scope of world events these days, it all should be decided by 2050, maybe by 2030 or sooner. We are in a very late stage of this life-and-death contest for all the marbles.

And finally…
