The Power of Fear


Fear is quite a powerful force.  Our politicians are well aware of that fact, and have been through several administrations.  According to Scripture, it would seem the only thing more powerful than fear, is love.  In this world, love is sadly, in very short supply; so fear prevails.  As I read the headlines, the very first thing that crosses my mind, is of course; what are we not seeing while anywhere between 2-5 suspected cases of ebola are covering the country, raising the potential number exponentially?

Clearly, this is no accident!  This entire Dallas fiasco, is reprehensible.  First, they sent a very sick man home, then two days later, was brought back in by ambulance.  I realize we're being told it's all quite containable and under control, until the next headline . . . I do believe this entire "ebola scare" is very much under control, but I'm not thrilled with the ones who are in control!   We have since been told that everyone he came in contact with is being monitored.  The fact that he is dead and cannot give a full account of everyone with whom he had contact, obviously leaves that statement unconfirmed and unprovable.

Meanwhile, it seems a couple of healthcare workers at the Dallas hospital have absolutely no regard for those whom they may put in harm's way.  One, knowingly boarded a flight with a fever having called CDC, and well aware that a coworker was in isolation awaiting possible ebola confirmation, and that she also had cared for the man who had died.  This second health care worker was a lab tech, I believe who went on a cruise and got the whole ship turned around at Belize and headed back to the Texas port.  Isn't it great to know there are such caring, responsible people in health care?

While the ebola headlines continue to pervade our internet information, the human enterovirus 68 is losing media coverage.  What appeared to be a firestorm last month in 12 states has now been reported in 32 more, but on the decline?  I've included a CDC link with a map, that is said to revise and repost, weekly with new information.

KU Med Center is reported to have encountered two possible cases of ebola with the lab results coming back, negative.  Toward the end of the CDC report about the two patients at KU, one is suspected of possibly having contracted typhoid or typhus, and the other had malaria . . .  As it turns out, Big Pharma has vaccines for typhoid as well as typhus, and medications for the prevention and treatment of malaria.

With all the ebola headlines, I nearly missed this one.  http://7online.com/health/ebola-press-conference-at-yale-hospital/353216/

Strange Science

This ebola scare has me cautiously skeptical.  I have no doubt the disease does exist, but many of the details definitely raise a great many red flags.  The first red flag being the headline coverage.  When scary headlines continue day after day, I simply cannot help but wonder what is going on that isn't being reported.   The next thing I find to be alarming is the statistical comparison between ebola deaths and those from malaria on that same continent.   I've included two links with a paragraph from each article.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ebola_virus_epidemic_in_West_Africa
As of 29 September 2014, the World Health Organization (WHO), the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and local governments reported a total of 7,192 suspected cases and 3,286 deaths (3,988 cases and 1,954 deaths having been laboratory confirmed)

http://www.theguardian.com/global-development-professionals-network/malaria-consortium-partner-zone/world-malaria-report-2013
- There were an estimated 207 million cases of malaria in 2012 (uncertainty range: 135 – 287 million) and an estimated 627 000 deaths (uncertainty range: 473 000 – 789 000). 90% of all malaria deaths occur in sub-Saharan Africa, and 77% occur in children under five.
- In 2012, malaria killed an estimated 483 000 children under five years of age. That is 1300 children every day, or one child almost every minute.
There are already a number of drugs to prevent malaria, yet hundreds of thousands African children die every year from that disease and there are no headlines, just grim statistics in google searches.
Also noted, I was unable to find a patent for malaria, whereas the CDC holds the patent for ebola.

I was surprised to discover a whole new concept in GMO, although I don't know why I was surprised.   Pharmaceuticals are nothing new to Monsanto, as GD Searle Company became part of Monsanto back in the mid eighties.  It seems ZMapp, the experimental drug used to treat ebola, is produced through genetically modified tobacco.  Big win for Monsanto and the tobacco industry!

Meanwhile, fleas carrying the bubonic plague have been verified in both Colorado and Arizona, with at least one official diagnosis confirmed in August.

If thou wilt not observe to do all the words of this law that are written in this book, that thou mayest fear this glorious and fearful name, YHWH Elohim;  Then YHWH will make thy plagues wonderful, and the plagues of thy seed, even great plagues, and of long continuance, and sore sicknesses, and of long continuance.  Torah of Holy Scripture
