Our latest 'epidemic'...Ebola.

As mentioned earlier on this blog I mentioned the 'Ebola Scare' and shared my view that it was a dubious and shameful distraction to silence a whistle blower who had opened a potential can of worms for the CDC.

The whole thing was so elaborately choreographed that nobody even bothered to mention the fact that the CDC was embroiled in a potentially devastating legal battle for its own fraudulent behavior.  As they are a federal entity they are answerable to the American people, at least they are supposed to be.  It was almost childlike in its simplicity, like a kid who feigns injury to avoid getting spanked by his angry mother.  I would have laughed had my heart not been iced over by the sheer shamelessness and audacity of their conduct.  A soap opera couldn't have come up with more intrigue or shameless melodrama.  In all honesty it made me want to vomit in disgust at just how shallow our nations supposed leadership has become. 

I ran my thoughts by a friend of mine and he rather strongly disagreed with my stand and still places a measure of trust in the CDC.  Though I respect his opinion, I still harbor doubts and concerns with regard to our federal agencies and what I see as a very serious lack of functional oversight.  If it were not for the long standing history of federal agencies suffering from 'severe' conflict of interests I might be swayed from my opinion easier.  Examples of these conflicts of interest are the FDA, FTC respectively and don't get me started on the SEC, The FED and the LONG list of Congressmen, Senators, advisers to the President and plethora of diplomatic posts...each of which house former CEO's of many of the largest banking firms in the world.  Prostitution is indeed legal in the USA. 

The FDA is responsible for ensuring that the foods we consume and the drugs we are prescribed are safe for human consumption.  The fact that 60% of FDA funding come from the pharmaceutical industry and the fact that a great many of their employees have close financial ties to the Pharmaceutical industry meaning that they work for the FDA collecting a paycheck while also collecting a paycheck from the pharmaceutical industry.  I have not heard one word from anyone anywhere suggesting that this issue has been resolved.  The FTC is supposed to ensure that their is Fair Trade among competitors, that no monopolies are formed which run counter to a free market economy, which the United States is supposed to espouse.  However, here to the FTC is manned, funded and directed by persons within the industries they are supposed to be regulating.

The CDC also suffers from this conflict of interest.  As mentioned before many of the former heads of the CDC have ended up with high paying jobs within the Pharmaceutical industry, 'after' they had created a viable marketing situation for the vaccine producers.  From these offices they wield a great deal of influence on their former colleagues from within the industry that now pays them rather generously,  so to with many congressman and senators. 

It would be far more politic for me to knuckle under and just praise the CDC and the others for doing a great job in the hope that someday they recognize my pathetic schmoozing...and reward me for being a sniveling, spineless douche-bag...and pay me a fat check...to shut my face. As it is...my soul, my spirit...my sense of injustice and outrage will not allow me to praise any such entity.

The Ebola Scam...has as I suspected it would, dropped off the medias interest chart.  The epidemic has, again as I suspected, not come to fruition...and the CDC...as always has placed itself on a pedestal...and has taken a bow...while a Whistle blower...is once again silenced.

Such conduct...such vile disregard for the rule of law and even common decency has broken my heart.  I no longer have faith...nor do I trust in our Governments ability to right the wrongs of those who have taken advantage of their financial might...to buy off criminal charges...to stave off the noose so to speak.  Crimes so prolifically horrendous...that had any one of us...you and I...done anything close..and not even to the degree that these crimes have been committed...we would face..life imprisonment...if not the death penalty...for the lives such conduct took.

Enough...
