With nearly 10,000 people dead from Ebola and over 20,000 people infected with the Ebola virus in West Africa, Ebola remains the most misleading story of 2014. Are the biological crimes against humanity occurring intentionally or due to negligence? At the crux of the matter is how Ebola got to the Western African countries of Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone in the first place.

If we are to believe the western experts and their mumbo jumbo hypothesis, Ebola mysteriously migrated to the Mano river basin region with the aid of bats from Central and Eastern Africa. How convenient for the international mainstream media to postulate these stories about the relationship between bush meat and Ebola?

Interestingly, this is not the first time that African bush meat has acquiredthe irritation of the Eurocentric international community. Upon the onset of AIDS among clusters of drug abusing, homosexual Caucasian men in San Francisco and New York in 1981, the African bush meat was unceremoniously dragged into the fray. Western based scientistscame up with a farfetched hocus-pocus propaganda that dropped the origins of AIDS right on the path of Africans and their Haitian cousins. They quickly took the attention away from the source of the HIV epidemic in North America and situated it in Western and Central Africa, within the borders of Cameroun.

Consequently, their narratives were bolstered with the sudden emergence of AIDS among African and Haitian men. A closer investigation of the 2014 Ebola viral arrival in West Africa actually reveals similar methodologies that dates back several decades. In 2007 researchers at Tulane University in New Orleans proudly disclosed their intentions to start conducting bioterrorism researches in the Mano river union on their campus wideNew Wave publication. They had received a 3.8million initial grant from the US National Institutes of Health and aligned withCorgenix Medical Corp., BioFactura Inc., Autoimmune Technologies, and the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases.

The mission for the Mano river union projecthad a principal investigator, Professor Robert Garry of Tulane University with sponsorship from the World Health Organization. The goals of the project were paved withsome good ideas like improving healthcare in West Africa. According to the Tulane University media reports, there were plans “to develop national and regional prevention and control strategies for Lassa fever and other important regional diseases.” Douglass Simpson president of Corgenix was quoted as stating “we intend to expand this program to address other important infectious agents with both clinical health issues and threat of bioterrorism such as Ebola.”

Hence, for the first time the project ushered into the Mano river countries (Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone) and the other West African countries the most lethal Ebola viral strain known to mankind. In a region that was booming with economic development and revitalization after years of wars, another manmade disaster ensued. For example, Mr. Bob Johnson founder of the Black Entertainment Television BET became an investor in the Sierra Leone tourism sector. Why was the massive infection of West Africans with Ebola allowed to happen? The African Union should be investigating these subjects instead of supporting and/or spearheading the internal and external invasion and fleecing of the continent.

Suddenly, Sierra Leone and Liberia have transitioned as economic hubs that saw the relocation of some of theirfirst generation Diaspora from the United States and Europe to the mother continent,into a wasteland with many fleeing for their lives. Sierra Leoneans and Liberians who rallied against the whitewashed tales of the international community and their so-called rulers were branded as troublemakers that did not want help from “master” to tackle Ebola. These brave people were placed under emergency rule and foreign troops were sent in from United States and England to occupy them. Whereas Cuba sent in 165 doctors, Europeans went in with guns to preserve their clinical laboratories.

Confronted with the magnitude of these bioterrorism and the ongoing cover-ups/invasion by AFRICOM, people have resigned themselves to apathy. Some deny that Europe and United States the chief priest and priestess of freedom and democracy can be so down low in the weaponization of Ebola and use of West Africans as experimental guinea pigs. But this project with its overt and clandestine features is not unlike the 40year Tuskegee Syphilis study on African Americans and the Guatemala syphilis experiment. In 2010 President Obama apologized for the latter crimes against humanity but with Ebola his actions are more like nurse Eunice Rivers of the former, he is keeping at it with no remorse.
