US Government Patent on Ebola?

Problem...Reaction...Solution? Is this the reason the U.S. patented Ebola? Is it possible that Ebola was invented? Is this The Hegelian Dialectic at work?

“Before you dismiss this as far-fetched or even impossible, just run a simple free patent search under the keyword ‘Ebola’. Not only will you see that Uncle Sam owns the patent on Ebola, but they also own the rights to all variations on Ebola, with the rights to all Ebola research. The official owner of this Ebola patent is: The Government of the US as Represented by the Secretary of the Dept. of Health. Essentially, it is a patent issued by The United States government to The United States government

[...]

Regardless of whether or not the original Ebola virus was a government invented germ biological warfare agent or whether the current Ebola virus is a variation of the original virus, one thing is for sure: this current strain of Ebola appears to have the potential of killing millions—if not billions—of people.

Dr. Leonard Horowitz states:

“One day the ‘miracle’ happened, where there was a crisis. And I was the right person at the right time. It was the July 27th 1990 when the case of the ‘Florida Dental AIDs Tragedy’ hit the press. You remember the case of the Florida dentist who infected his patients with the AIDs virus. And three years… at that time I was serving as the world’s leading dental & medical catalogue supply company’s chief professional advisor. And my background was in media, health education, health promotion, fear… because I worked on dental phobia reduction therapy programs… behavioral therapy programs to allay people’s fear going to the dentist. And, I had been a dentist for 16 years, and health education & media, persuasion technology. And here, the media was making so many people afraid to go see their dentists, in the wake of this case. So, I was asked, I was told, I was given the job… opportunity, to develop patient educational literature to help allay people’s fear of going into dental medical practices.

So, I started the research. The Center for Disease Control’s official investigation reports – in the case, I first found them to be scientifically questionable. I then I found them to be scientifically bogus! And then, later found them to be fraudulent!!! They literally covered-up, deleted, the most incriminating evidence against the dentitst! Who, I have to conclude, after three years of studying this case & publishing 3 scientific reports, literally having to go out of the United States to publish. Because the American Dental Association & American Medical Association wanted to maintain a cover-up.

And I wrote a book that was based on those 3 scientific reports called “Deadly Innocence” – my 9th book. Wherein, I have to conclude that the dentist, based on all the evidence, using the FBIs own behavioral science literature – how they, themselves, investigate & evaluate these types of cases… that this dentist – scientifically trained, military dentist for much of his career, very intelligent dentist, believed that he was dying of a virus that the government had created. They covered that up!

He believed that they had intentionally injected this virus during a 1978 experimental Hepatitis B vaccine that was given to a lover of his that he had in 1985. And that is how he got infected & he believed that this was genocide. And he believed that what was called the “World Health Organization (WHO) Theory of AIDs” – the videotape that Danny [dentist] stated he saw – "The Strecker Memorandum” was what Dr David J. Acer believed… That the World Health Organization (WHO), the United States Public Health Service Center for Disease Control (CDC) had something to do with the development of these types of viruses & the deployment of them through Hepititis & other vaccines in Africa & North America.

In essence, I have to conclude at the end of that case that the dentist was most plausibly identical to an organized serial killer – he maintained a classic an organized serial killer personality – you know like the “Unabomber”...."

Greater Than 50% Probability that Dallas Ebola Victim Acquired Disease On Flight

Odds are greater than 50%--68%-- that Thomas Duncan acquired Ebola from someone who had the virus during his airplane trip on on Sept 18th--flight # SN1247

From Gotnews:

“Thomas Duncan flew from Monrovia (ROB) to Brussels (BRU) on Brussels Airlines flight 1247 (SN1247) which departed ROB on Thurs. Sept. 18 and arrived in BRU early moring Fri. Sept. 19. He did not depart BRU until the next day aboard United Airlines flight (UA951) which arrived at Dulles (IAD) the same day. He had a round-trip ticket, which was purchased on Sept. 2 from an IATA accredited travel agency in Lagos, Nigeria. It appears his ticket was purchased by a company named “Silson Global Business Liberia Ltd.”. His return flight was scheduled to depart Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW) on Oct. 19. The return flight was scheduled for DFW-IAD-BRU-FNA (FNA is Lungi Intl Airport in Freetown, Sierra Leone).

From NBC news:

“Ten experts from the Centers for Disease Control are tracking down those who made contact with Thomas Eric Duncan, the man diagnosed with the Ebola virus, in the days he was sick before being checked in to Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital.

Experts: Ebola Could be Transmitted “At a Distance” From Infected Victims

“In a piece published by CIDRAP, the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy, authors Dr Lisa Brosseau and Dr Rachael Jones highlight how Ebola currently has “unclear modes of transmission.”

“We believe there is scientific and epidemiologic evidence that Ebola virus has the potential to be transmitted via infectious aerosol particles both near and at a distance from infected patients, which means that healthcare workers should be wearing respirators, not facemasks,” states the article.

Cool Interactive Health Map and Mapping Disease Hotspots

Health Map: Global disease alert map is really cool! It can be used like Google Map, and you can choose the map, satellite or hybrid view. To get to a part of the world, use one of the links at the top of the map to zoom in by content and/or region.


There are four separate menus that provide options for customization.


Below the map, you’ll see a slider that lets you display alerts by date range. You’ll also see a bar labeled “Heat Index,” that includes the spectrum from yellow to red.

* Marker color represents a composite score based on the recency of alerts, the number of disease outbreaks, and the number of sources providing information at a particular location. Our algorithm applies an exponential weighting, yielding increased heat (redness) for more recent outbreak news.

* The source of the alert is represented by an icon next to the alert headline.

* The square-shaped marker icon indicates a country-level marker, while state, province and local markers are round . We currently have administrative divisions and some major cities for USA, UK, Canada, China, India, Australia, Mexico and Russia, with more coming soon.







Use check boxes to select news feeds and different diseases. The third menu provides links that allow you to display alerts by country. The menu at the bottom offers links to the full text of the most recent alerts, displayed in a separate, smaller window.

HealthMap brings together disparate data sources to achieve a unified and comprehensive view of the current global state of infectious diseases and their effect on human and animal health. This freely available Web site integrates outbreak data of varying reliability, ranging from news sources (such as Google News) to curated personal accounts (such as ProMED) to validated official alerts (such as World Health Organization). Through an automated text processing system, the data is aggregated by disease and displayed by location for user-friendly access to the original alert. HealthMap provides a jumping-off point for real-time information on emerging infectious diseases and has particular interest for public health officials and international travelers.

Below is a world map highlighting hot spots for diseases passed from animals to humans.


Researchers say that areas in which humans and animals come in very close contact are a key grounds for emerging diseases. Above,
Outbreaks of emerging infectious diseases such as Ebola, SARS, HIV and avian influenza are on the rise around the world, researchers report in the journal Nature.

The team found that the developing world was a key ground for emerging diseases, especially in areas in which humans and animals are in very close contact.

"These maps show that the key threat to public health is where human population growth and wildlife diversity clash," says Peter Daszak, one of the authors of the report.
