Ebola...Are We Safe?



Artists Rendering of the Ebola Virus
The dangers from the Ebola virus to the public are very real and are increasing by the day.  How many of you out there really know what’s going on with this virus right now?  If you have been watching the news trickle out of Sierra Leone and Africa about the growing spread of this insanely deadly disease like I have, you may find it disturbing to say the least.  

Ebola has always popped up and quickly been contained by authorities, but it is not because of their swift and competent control of the situation, no generally it is because Ebola is such an aggressive infection that it often kills all available hosts before it has time to spread outside the area of origination.  Africans have been dealing with Ebola since long before the west even knew it existed. But, international travel is so simple today that even though Ebola's symptoms set up very fast, planes can now often get you home faster than the disease can become apparent and the potential for global pandemic from Ebola has become staggering.  As of the morning of Aug, 1 2014 officials have decided to move two American doctors sick with Ebola by plane, into the city of Atlanta GA…?!…and the death toll in Sierra Leone is so high and the spread is so out of control that the country has called for a state of emergency!

What is most terrifying about this current outbreak in Africa and Liberia is that it is big, the biggest ever in fact and it is moving. I have seen chilling reports about a U.S.citizen working in Liberia, falling violently ill on a plane to Nigeria earlier this month. He was planning on returning to his family in Minnesota but died before he could. It is thought he may possibly have infected thirty or more people on that plane.  Officials are now desperately trying to “hunt down” possible victims before infected individuals can become contagious.  ThePeace Corps is currently evacuating volunteers from three countries; the CDC is raising its alert to the highest levels for travel to the area. One of the world’s leading authorities on the Ebola virus Dr. Sheik Humarr Khan has in fact contracted the disease and died in Sierra Leone from complications with Ebola and it appears to be only a matter of time before this disease makes it to American soil.  One American family was already quarantined in Texas for a short time after returning from living abroad with Dr. Kent Brantly who worked in the danger zone and contracted the disease. Dr. Brantly is one of the two American doctors being brought back to the US for treatment along with missionary Nancy Writebol.

Now, here comes the scary conspiracy theory part.  There is talk that Ebola could be used by terrorist groups to cause harm on US soil. Our southern border is just hanging open like an old screen door, flapping in the breeze and it is not a far stretch to say Ebola or any dangerous threat would have little trouble getting into the country either accidentally or with intention if fate were to have it. Keep in mind that it has been stated by the World Health Organization that they cannot deal with a global Ebola pandemic and all it takes is one simply mistake.   


World Health Organization
The US government knows it cannot contain Ebola effectively if it is urbanized and they most likely will declare martial law if an Ebola outbreak hits a major US city. The laws are already in place, they have been mobilizing and training units all over the country for just such an event. Then there is always the entertaining and usually debatable argument over the building of emergency (FEMA) camps, (Homeland Security) stock piling ammo, all those scary images of fields of plastic coffin liners in Georgia  that the government supposedly ordered some years back.  When one looks at all of this together it forms a picture of the government preparing some kind of action in order to preserve the national security against its own citizens. Perhaps even from an Ebola outbreak who can say? Regardless in a viral outbreak quarantined citizens will most likely become violent when individuals start getting sick and they realize the government is not coming to save them and cannot allow them to leave. All the authorities can do is quarantine the area until they contain the outbreak and then treat the symptoms…the death rate of those infected are a staggering 90%.  I am not going to go into great detail about the symptoms of the virus mainly because they are gruesome and promote fear, research it if you feel the need to know.  But keep in mind aid workers have described scenes from villages in Africa "like walking into a set from a horror film, a very scary situation."  
CDC Zombie Advertisement

I also recall a load of silly things bounced about over the past few years regarding “Zombie Apocalypse Training” coming from legitimate branches of the government (CDC, Marine Corp, law enforcement agencies) they all had a purpose, they had a point.  The urban riot training that all civil forces have been doing around the country are preparing authorities for something… the walking dead?  Not likely, but an Ebola outbreak has been said to be the closest thing to a zombie apocalypse we might ever see.  Regardless, all of this training and preparation appears to have been leading up to authorities preventing citizen’s movements and access to resources in the case of national emergency; they just aren’t telling you which emergency.  It is not likely that the government is out to get you…in fact they are trying to keep you from getting them.  I say again when an outbreak occurs over 90% of those infected WILL die, there is no cure or antiviral drug known to combat this virus.  I am not saying run to the hills or to head for the “bug out” shelters just yet, but if you start hearing about people getting sick in the US, especially in major cities be concerned this is not a joke…

Are We Getting Closer to Disclosure?


Since the passing of the Freedom of Information Act many UFO researchers, and conspiracy buffs have dredged deeply into the U.S. Governments once classified files looking for answers.  The fact that governments all over the Earth have programs designed to deal with the UFO phenomena is no longer considered “need to know” information, and many countries have even begun declassifying their UFO programs much to the disappointment of the USA.

Although, disclosure right here at home might be much closer then you may think.   Retired Army Col. John Alexander has gone public with his desire to petition not only the Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta, but also CIA Director Gen. David Petraeus, and National Intelligence Director Gen. James Clapper, to offer amnesty to military personnel that have witnessed UFO activity in the past but were sworn to secrecy.

Retired Army Col. John Alexander
Why is Col. Alexander’s voice any more important than say… mine or yours?  Well, Alexander was a military insider with top secret clearance, who also created Advanced Theoretical Physics – a group of top level government officials and scientists put together to study none other than…UFO reports. 

It is important to note that Col. Alexander also led Special Forces teams in Vietnam and Thailand in the 1960’s, and was a program manager at Los Alamos National Laboratory.  Not a bad resume. But more recently he has been trying to disclose information uncovered by a study group he was in charge of in 1980 which concluded:

  •    Some UFOs are real and of unknown origin.
  • About 5 percent of all sightings remain unexplained.
  • Many sensor systems do have anomalous recordings.
  • There are numerous UFO sightings reported by highly credible observers.
  • There have been incidents involving interactions between UFOs and military systems.
  • There have been interactions between UFOs and airplanes that raise safety issues.
  • Over 70 percent of American adults believe the U.S. government is covering up information on the topic.
  • Polls indicate that 20 percent of the global population believes aliens are here on Earth and living among us.

Alexander is scheduled to publicly announce his government request for UFO amnesty today at the National Atomic Testing Museum in Las Vegas, Nev.   The museum is one of the newest in the country and focuses on the history of the countries development of energy and nuclear technology.  Oddly, it also contains an exhibit on the top secret base known as Area 51, which showcases numerous UFO related exhibits, one even claiming to be an "Authentic AlienArtifact."  Below is the video ad for the exhibit. 


Museum CEO and director Allan Palmer told the HuffingtonPost that he is glad that military officials who have seen or have knowledge about UFO’s will be able to come clean.  Palmer, who was also a highly decorated Air Force and Navy pilot, went on to say "The reason is because we all had very high-level security clearances," he said. "Just the mention of seeing something that you didn't know or you thought might be a UFO would be enough for a visit with the flight surgeon, if not the psychiatric staff at the base hospital. And that would be reason to pull your security clearance, at least temporarily, which means that you wouldn't be flying …”  Palmer goes on to say “At least as far as retribution or career penalties, if things could be lifted or suspended, that would probably help the process.”

Alexander does not appear to be attempting to get the government to disclose that UFO’s are extraterrestrial, but rather to promote a feeling of security among military officials where it is ok for them to report and discuss UFO sightings without fear of ridicule or penalty.  Col. Alexander claims in letters to some of the most powerful men in the world that "some level of secrecy has been invoked on U.S. military personnel.” and goes on to cite the Milton Torres story.   The tale of pilot Milton Torres and how he was forced into silence from 1957 – 2008 over orders he was given to fire five missiles at a gigantic UFO over Great Brittan in 1957 is well known to the UFO community.

This is a step towards full disclosure and is an exciting time if you are a UFO researcher.  Not only does this affirm that many in the military have seen UFO’s, but also that a program of threatening and silence has governed how the US government has handled UFO cases for the past eighty years.  I can’t help but be happy to see this environment start to take root, and find myself quoting folk singer Bob Dylan, “Times they are a’ changing…”

New Planet Discovery Contridicts NASA's Claim


     For the past several years speculation and conspiracy have raged over the possibility of a phantom planet known as Nibiru or Planet X moving into our solar system.  Believers claim the arrival of this mystery planet was predicted in numerous ancient prophecies including the Egyptian “Death Bringer” and the more popular Sumerian “Nibiru” legends, and its arrival is thought to bring about cataclysmic changes to our Earth. 

This idea has blended seamlessly into the fears of the 2012 Mayan calendar craze that has gripped the public’s attention over the past few years.  Although, until this point no scientific evidence has been reported to support either of these theories and scientists are holding fast to the idea that what the Planet X believers are expecting to occur is “impossible”.   

In an interview with NASA officials they were asked “Is there a planet or brown dwarf called Nibiru, Planet X, or Eris that is approaching the Earth and threatening our planet with widespread destruction?"  NASA officials responded with this answer, “Nibiru and other stories about wayward planets are an Internet hoax. There is no factual basis for these claims. If Nibiru or Planet X were real and headed for an encounter with the Earth in 2012, astronomers would have been tracking it for at least the past decade, and it would be visible by now to the naked eye. Obviously, it does not exist…”

While these reports are reassuring, the developments in space since that time have given a very different spin on this question.  In 2010, the comet Elenin was reported by NASA to be scheduled to orbit dangerously close to the earth, and set off a firestorm of doomsday proclamations.  But some strange anomalies were being shown to be connected with this comet, and numerous theories surfaced that Elenin was having very unusual geomagnetic effects on the earth.  Each time the comet came into alignment with the Earth and the Sun, significant earthquakes occurred somewhere on the planet.  It could definitely be coincidence, but the Chilean, Christchurch, and Japan earthquakes between 2010 and 2011 all occurred when comet Elenin was in alignment with the Earth and Sun.


NASA quickly disapproved these coincidences much like Planet X, saying there was no connection between Elinin and these massive earth quakes.  Although, shortly before Elenin's closest scheduled path to Earth in October 2011, MSNBC reported that comet broke apart and was destroyed in a very unusual way.  Is this evidence that NASA removed the threat from this comet without public knowledge?

In a new discovery on May, 11 2012 the National Geographic reported that astronomers had in fact located a large rogue planet orbiting our solar system, and claim that it is currently hidden behind the planet Neptune.  This discovery was made because of visual disruptions in the orbits of various space objects and the suspected planet is purposed to contain significant mass.

Is this new discovery the giant Nibiru?  Does this herald the coming of the Egyptian “Death Bringer?”  No one can say for sure.  But, unless NASA can pull a proverbial rabbit out of their hat such as with Elenin, we may be hearing a lot more about this rogue planet in the coming months.

Solar UFO Sightings Point to Possible NASA Cover-up!


     New pictures have emerged from NASA, again showing an unidentified object hovering close to the Sun.  The release of this image was closely preceded by the $700 billion space viewing device (SOHO) that shot the footage being taken off-line.  UFO researchers are touting this as solid proof that NASA is trying to cover up the incident, and are pushing for an explanation. 

 This story originally began on April 24, when reports surfaced on the internet showing photographs of a large UFO hovering near our Sun.  The images were captured by NASA’s Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) .  The sophisticated (SOHO) device is used according to NASA “- to study the internal structure of the Sun, its extensive outer atmosphere and the origin of the solar wind…)  Although, the project does not fall completely under the NASA umbrella of control. (SOHO) was co-designed, funded, and is partially operated by various European scientists and the European Space Agency.

According to FOX News, officials for the United States Naval Research Laboratory dismissed the object in the first (SOHO) photograph shown below as an anomaly on the camera equipment.  Nathan Rich, the lead engineer for the NRL’s solar physics division, claims this is caused by streaks left from cosmic rays; charged particles that disrupt the cameras sensors.  But more interestingly, he states "these artifacts do not persist from image to image..."



 Rich's last statement is so interesting because more than a week later, images of a similar UFO are again captured by (SOHO) and exposed on YouTube by an amateur follower of the space observatory.  The video's creator alleges that NASA took (SOHO) off-line to prevent anyone else from seeing the UFO just one day after this video began to make its rounds across the internet. He states, “It’s too much of a coincidence I find this on the 3rd of May 2012, and they break their telescope the following day.”  More information can be found at Gather.com



NASA released the following statement on the shut down:
"SOHO went into 'Emergency Sun Reacquisition' mode on Friday May 4, 2012, caused by a false trigger of the Coarse Sun Pointing Attitude Anomaly Detector. We are working on the recovery of the spacecraft to normal mode."

Even more curious is the fact the live web cams connected to (SOHO) were down for some of the biggest solar storms of the century according to MSNBC, and then went down again on May 08, for Emergency Sun Reacquisition.  All of this solar activity, combined with possible footage of UFO's hovering around the sun, leads one to believe that even if the UFO's can be explained away that something unusual is still going on with our sun that NASA may not want the public to see.

Triangle UFO Sightings On the Rise?


Over the years, we have continually heard reports trickling out of the mainstream media about sightings of triangular shaped UFO's plaguing the airspace above cities all over the world.  The US government has struggled to spin these reports away as flares or swamp gas, but high level officials like former Arizona governor Fife Symington are coming clean and admitting publicly that what people are witnessing is truly unidentifiable. 

Large sightings like the "Phoenix Lights"  which occurred in March 1997 and included over 10,000 eyewitness reports, have made their way into pop culture with movies, books, and merchandise promoting the event.  But, sightings of these lights have not been confined to the American southwest. Hundreds of reports have come in over the past thirty years from all over the earth, and so far the spring of 2012 is not letting us down.


On April 26, 2012 the video above was captured by a passenger on an airplane over England.  The individual reported seeing a large triangular shaped formation of lights outside the cabin of their plane.  This video shows actual footage of a craft that has been repeatedly reported by passengers and pilots on commercial aircraft for years.

A few days later on April 28, in the small town of Independence Mo. an eyewitness reported seeing a triangular craft moving slowly across the sky according to Examiner.com.  The witness claimed, “It was very odd -- a triangular-shaped flying object that had two blinking lights in the rear only.  There were no other lights on the craft like you would see on a plane."  Unfortunately, there were no video or photographs available to document the sighting.

The following video was shot recently on May 02, 2012 and shows a triangular craft caught on tape that was also reported at Gather.com.   According to the witness, it occurred in broad daylight over Sydney Australia and lasted over four minutes!


The facts are that the US government and others around the world test and produce top secret aircraft. The possibility of these triangular UFO’s being misidentified is surely a possibility, but the sheer size and silence of the proposed craft, as well as the frequency of the sightings leads one to believe that the public may not be getting the full story either way.
    
Are all of these sightings mere coincidence?  What are the odds that military flares are the cause of these events like the US military has proposed?  Are they extraterrestrial?  No one seems able or willing to identify these sightings with any certainty, and the explanations given by officials is less than underwhelming.  There are no clear answers, and even fewer individuals in the government willing to come forward, so it appears that for the time being, these unusual craft and lights will continue to be a mystery.
