OUTBREAK
04.08.2002 01:27
In reality, one old man aged 89 has allegedly died from Legionnaire's Disease, so far, and what was he doing at a leisure centre? Trampolining?
H. L. Mencken wrote; "The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed - and hence clamorous to be led to safety - and menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary."
I watched a movie the previous night called 'Outbreak' with Morgan Freeman and Dustin Hoffman. A coincidence or is the TV following the script to the letter?
The Plot:
A new strain of a deadly virus is brought into America from Africa by a monkey and spreads to a small rural town. Fifty died, twenty were quarantined, those with the initial flu-like symptoms had to hang a white rag on their door (like plague victims) to be escorted by armed military police in gas masks to a 'treatment centre' which made Camp X-Ray look like a holiday resort, surrounded by razor wire. If gas masks were effective in protecting troops, why not issue them to all citizens?
Military checkpoints were in place everywhere and truck loads of people were arriving. Black helicopters circled overhead, escorting the convoys and enforcing a curfew through megaphones. Reporters said, "it looks like a war-zone" and it did! The dead were burned like mad-cows.
Graphic images of the sick and dying were shown, with blood oozing from orifices (like Ebola.) The plan to contain the epidemic and save 260 million Americans - was to vaporise the town of 26,000 residents where the virus originated and so preserve the "life & liberty" of the whole world. They said everyone must support the President in this murderous initiative, no dissent was allowed.
This is what they are acclimating us for. God Bless America.
