Ebola is a naturally occurring, viral hemorrhagic fever. It typically occurs in outbreaks in tropical regions of Sub-Saharan Africa. It was first identified in 26 August 1976. During the 2010s, several Ebola outbreaks received huge attention, especially from many of the actors who later would play a role in the Covid-19 situation. The whole fight against Ebola soon turned into a Western-led militarized response in a "media-generated panic", in what might be described as a dress rehearsal for the grand-scale 2020 Covid-lockdowns.

Disease and Outbreaks

Infection occurs from direct contact—through broken skin or mucous membranes — with the bodily fluids of infected people; it does not appear to spread through vectors (like bubonic plague) or coughs and sneezes (like influenza or SARS). Early findings that the virus kills 90 percent of its victims proved exaggerated; WHO now reports an average 50 percent death rate, while one expert projects a survival rate as high as 90 percent with adequate treatment.

The disease has had major outbreaks in 1976, 1995 and 2007. Between 1976 and 2013 it killed a total of 1,716 people.

Falsely Monstrous Reputation

Ebola’s uniquely monstrous reputation in the West dates from the appearance of Richard Preston’s 1992 New Yorker article, “Crisis in the HotZone,” and subsequent 3.5-million-copy lurid bestseller The Hot Zone: A Terrifying True Story (1994). Preston’s book creates suspense by suggesting, falsely, that the virus is liable to become airborne at any moment, and dramatically distorts the symptoms of the disease—for example, patients are described as “bleeding out”from every orifice and “weeping tears of blood” while their internal organs “liquefy.” A 1995 Hollywood movie,Outbreak, further consolidated the Ebola myth.

Similarities between Ebola and Malaria

The possibility of misdiagnosis exists. As a 2014 Unicef paper pointed out, "the symptoms of Ebola are not specific. Fever, weakness, and headaches could be anything from the flu to malaria". There is no easy way to make a laboratory diagnosis of Ebola. Intriguingly, the ‘gold-standard’ is a polymerase chain reaction - a PCR-test) - which later became one of the main tools to inflate number of cases in the Covid-19 situation

Malaria, spread by mosquitoes, typically has symptoms including high fevers, shaking chills, and flu-like illness, which is similar to the initial symptoms of Ebola.

2014

The most publicised outbreak in recent years was detected in March 2014

An Ebola outbreak began due to natural causes in Guinea in December 2013 but was not detected until March 2014, after which it spread to Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Nigeria. Victims were flown to USA.

Predictions of an uncontrollable globalepidemic were common, sometimes reaching apocalyptic proportions

Bill Gates' blueprint for handling Covid-19

Powerful Western institutions, notably the Bill& Melinda Gates Foundation, viewed the African Ebola outbreak of 2014–2015 as an opportunity to advance an ambitious global agenda. Building on recently created public health literature proposing “global health governance” (GHG) as the preferred model for international healthcare, on March 18, 2015, Bill Gates publicly called for the creation of a worldwide, militarized, supranational authority capable of responding decisively to outbreaks of infectious disease—an authority governed by Western powers and targeting the underdeveloped world.

The article “The Next Epidemic — Lessons from Ebola”, published New England Journal of Medicine, was a “global call to action”, where Gates wanted, in an uncanny similarity to what happens during Covid-19

• Work closely with Western military forces, specifically NATO, in operations targeting the developing world.
• Bypass national safety regulations in order to fast-track testing and use of novel vaccines and other medications.
• Suspend constitutional guarantees in sovereign nations affectedby epidemics.
• Create worldwide surveillance networks, free of pri-vacy protections, that would make information about people in developing countries instantly available to the imperial core.

2014 Alternative theories

Cyril E. Broderick, a tenured professor of the Agricultural College of the University of Delaware, formerly professor of Plant Pathology at the University of Liberia's College of Agriculture and Forestry, was published in Liberia's largest newspaper claiming that "The US Department of Defense (DoD) is funding Ebola trials on humans, trials which started just weeks before the Ebola outbreak in Guinea and Sierra Leone." Francis Boyle concurred.

Naomi Wolf suggested that US troops may have been sent to Africa to further the aim of a "militarized Africa".

2018-19

On 8 May and then again on August 1, 2018, the Ministry of Health of the Democratic Republic of Congo declared Ebola outbreaks. The WHO advised "against restriction" of travel.

In July 2019 the WHO declared the continued outbreak a Public Health Emergency of International Concern and scientists were wondering whether it had become more contagious after cases were reported in urban areas in the Congo and in Uganda.

Transmission

In October 2014, CDC was criticised for lack of clarity after it removed a webpage which suggested that Ebola was transmissable from person through coughing and sneezing.

Intellectual property

In 2010, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention was granted patent #CA2741523A1 on a strain of Ebola known as "EboBun", derived from the 2007 outbreak.

Screening technology

In 2014, the US military was reportedly using a genetic screening technology for ebola detection that the FDA was "actively blocking" in the USA.

Francis Boyle	“I have absolute proof from a Pentagon document that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) was doing bio-warfare work for the Pentagon in Sierra Leone, the heart of the outbreak, as early as 1988. Why would they do that? As I suggested to try to circumvent the Biological Weapons Convention to which the US government is a party. So, always bio-warriors do use offensive and defensive bio-warfare work, violating the Biological Weapons Convention. So effectively they try to offshore it into West Africa where Liberia is not a party and Guinea is not a party. Sierra Leone is a party. But in Sierra Leone and Liberia there were disturbances which kept the world from really paying attention of what was going on in these labs.<a href="#cite_note-4">[4]</a>”	Francis Boyle
Sasha Latypova	“The perpetrators desperately, at all cost, need you to to believe that "mutating viruses in a lab" achieves some scary result, that then can be "leaked". That anyone can do it, even a PhD student in their garage. That our enemies are doing it and will "release" a super scary bug any time now, unless the Government is "prepared" by making a stockpile of "predictive vaccines" that can be deployed in DAYS after a new scary virus is detected in China. Or Timbuktu. It is, however, a narrative. There is no way to "mutate viruses" in a lab in the way they all imply - to artificially make them deadlier and more transmissible at the same time. This is a propaganda fairytale with a very specific goal. You should be very concerned about any person (on "their" side or "ours") who repeats it with a serious face. Sure, scientists can experiment with soups of DNA/RNA and grow things in petri dishes. They can design mutations on the computer and try to make concoctions of things. Are those "viruses" that can "leak from the lab" and "infect the world"? No. The proof of this is that while there are 1000 biolabs in the US and Western world playing with viruses. no pandemics or epidemics have resulted from these activities.”	Sasha Latypova	27 January 2023
