I just saw this on Twitter. It needs to go viral.
“’On August 17 we stole Ebola from a lab in Liberia,’ he says in the script. ‘We took he bandages and the bedsheets and then we covered ourselves in it and hoped that we’d get infected.
‘The incubation period is about 21 days, and it’s been about 21 days.’”
Would have been more impressive if he tried to enter the United States from Canada by going over Niagra Falls in a barrel.
He needed a “nuke” -.empty beer keg with radioactive symbol on the side.
Needs a “snake charmer” in the boat and a belly dancer.
Make it funny, make younger people pass it around.
He needs to dial up the funny.
I’m not sure what his point is. The great lakes are the hardest place to cross and Canada actually does put some effort into protecting the border unlike Mexico who actively aids illegal border crossers.
But the northern border would be much harder to secure. Therefore it takes cooperation with Canada to keep the terrorists out of Canada in the first place. This video should have been shown to American and Canadian officials only.
I would say let's annex Canada to solve the problem, but we let so many muslims in, that I'm not sure the real risk isn't terrorists entering Canada from America.
“An Ebola-infected ISIS terrorist could easily motorboat across Lake Erie and reach Ohio from Canada,”
Easier to cross the St Clair river into Michigan, that is only a couple hundred yards wide.
Oh, right, I've likely just committed a crime in Canada in writing the above.
But let's talk reality. The hypothetical terrorist doesn't need to go to the effort of going into Canada to get to the US, he's likely already got a US government approved visa. And while his birth name might be on the terror watch list, just switching the middle names around is enough to defeat that list and not raise the slightest eyebrow in customs when the name on the passport is slightly out of order.
Yes, we need border control. Not because there are terrorists crossing the border, but because those who are illegally crossing the border will kill more Americans this year than in 9/11. Through murder, drunk driving, domestic violence, lack of care for children, etc.
But hey, least this raises more awareness of the border.
Canada Ping!
Bring Out Your Dead
Were gonna need
a bigger cart!
Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.
The purpose of the Bring Out Your Dead ping list (formerly the Ebola ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.
So far the false positive rate is 100%.
At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the Bring Out Your Dead threads will miss the beginning entirely.
*sigh* Such is life, and death...
Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping!
