Despite concerns around the globe that the Ebola virus may continue to spread and mutate into something even more deadly, the director of the CDC attempted to assuage fears about the possibility of an outbreak on U.S. soil.
“It is not a potential of Ebola spreading widely in the U.S.,” director Thomas Friedman told reporters on a conference call Thursday. “That is not in the cards.”
But while the CDC downplays the potential threat, emergency planners behind the scenes have been getting ready since as early as April of this year. In a report presented to Congress while the virus was spreading in West Africa, the Department of Defense said that it has dispatched biological detection kits to National Guard units in all 50 states with the capability of diagnosing the virus in infected patients in as little as 30 minutes.
And, in a move that raised some eyebrows this morning, President Obama amended a 2003 Executive Order that gives the Federal government, as noted by Paul Joseph Watson, the power to “mandate the apprehension and detention of Americans who merely show signs of respiratory illness.”

You may be the “eyes on the ground” of something, but I’ve been around here since I was born (1950) and I remember every politically duplicitous rambling and hype media blurb about the CDC, all the way from their famous 1970s swine flu hysteria to the guns, the spousal abuse and the Islamic outreach efforts. Search engines are riddled with the connection.
Thanks, but no thanks.
On another thread this am, I posited how an outbreak of Ebola would afford Odumbo the opportunity to declare martial law. Someone replied back that I should learn the facts about Ebola before posting such a reckless claim.
I’m not sure, but this looks like some facts...
There will always be those who are dyslexic when it comes to connecting the dots.
Looking at the map, I was surprised that most of these centers hug the coasts, where they are most likely to be needed. I’d expect our government to put the disease pens almost exclusively in the red states.
....and you trust the media to report them correctly because...... ?
I looked for Islamic Outreach CDC and found nothing.
Spousal abuse is a legitimate health care concern.
They are fair on guns, and even have zero problem with my NRA sticker on my office.
Sounds like nothing will change your mind. It’s alright; No worries.... :)
Thanks Laz, good report.
English: You will not surely die.
Believe me, the minute they change, I bail. :)
I graduated from Druid Hills High School...I know what the CDC is even if you work there. I also remember the Swine flu vaccine they gave me that caused me to get pleurisy and live with that for over a decade. You can’t just excuse all the years of the drive time BS I and everyone else was pelleted with and call it ‘okay’.
I took one of those on-line “what state should you live in?” surveys and came up with Wyoming. I’m close to retirement. I bet housing prices are real low compared to hereabouts. For now, anyway.
TSA Allowing Illegals to Fly Without Verifiable ID
Illegal aliens are being allowed to fly on commercial airliners without valid identification, according to the National Border Patrol Council (NBPC). “The aliens who are getting released on their own recognizance are being allowed to board and travel commercial airliners by simply showing their Notice to Appear forms,” NBPC’s Local 2455 Spokesman, Hector Garza, told Breitbart Texas.
So why do ebola patients need a special plane?
All the major cities, population centers.
There are actually people out there who drastically want to reduce the world's population.
Ebola (the disease, not the President) will likely take too long for deaths to reach critical mass, thus Ebola (the President, not the disease) will have to step in with violent force to quell the resulting chaos.
Some of the illegals may be ebola patients, and Obama probably thinks it’s a good idea to put them on commercial airliners.
We need to remember there are paid and volunteer trolls who frequent websites such as FreeRepublic and The Conservative Treehouse to slam skeptics who have serious questions about our Government and its observable lack of trustworthiness. Nothing should be viewed here as an isolated situation but a very large pattern over time. Only a fool ignores serious questions and tells us not to worry, everything is going to be just fine.
BTT!
Don’t need a SWAT team, they just send in their little bugs.
No problem!
I am sure glad the CDC bureaucrats aren’t putting us at risk. Wha a bunch of arrogant pricks!
That definitely sucks. Sorry about that, not that it's mine to apologize for, of course.
I'll close with this: The CDC isn't a perfect organization, but it is the closest thing to a White Hat you will see in this western film. It's one of the better agencies, for whatever that's worth.
If that’s really the intention, then our and their respiratory failures will be more the exposure to LEAD.
The last think I am worried about is nobama trying some Martial Law thing. He and the dems are too chicken for that because they know damn well there are a 100+ million well armed and PO’d citizens and at least 3/4 of the US Military to resist his fancy.
This is all no more than more of his flippin us the bird.
