US Army withheld promise from Germany that Ebola virus wouldn't be weaponized 20 Oct 2014 The United States has withheld assurances from Germany that the Ebola virus - among other related diseases - would not be weaponized in the event of Germany exporting it to the US Army Medical Research Institute for Infectious Diseases.

German MFA Deputy Head of Division for Export Control Markus Klinger provided a paper to the US consulate's Economics Office (Econoff), "seeking additional assurances related to a proposed export of extremely dangerous pathogens." Germany subsequently made two follow-up requests and clarifications to the Army, according to the unclassified Wikileaks cable.

Germany Requests Assurances on Virus Export (WikiLeaks) 15 Dec 2009 From: Germany Berlin To: Secretary of Defense | Secretary of State "For Official Use Only" --A German firm has applied for the approval of the export of 184 genetic elements with nucleic acid sequences of viruses for the production of recombinant viruses.

The viruses will be used in optical imaging to identify host factors required for viral replication.

The recipient in the USA is, according to the enclosed end use certificate, the Department of the Army "US Army Medical Research Institute for Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID)" Fort Detrick, Maryland...The goods are controlled by the Australia Group and are subject to compulsory export approval (List position C1C353A).

This matter concerns the complete genome of viruses such as the Zaire Ebola virus, the Lake Victoria Marburg virus, the Machupo virus and the Lassa virus, which are absolutely among the most dangerous pathogens in the world. The delivery would place the recipient in the position of being able to create replicating recombinant infectious species of these viruses. Because of the particular criticality of these goods, the German federal government practices an exceptionally restrictive approval policy for such exports...The enclosed end use certificate is on the letterhead of the U.S. Army. The required official seal is missing, however.

Hagel orders military medical team, led by USNORTHCOM, to get ready for quick response to more Ebola cases in US --The members of the 30-member military team will be selected and led by Northern Command Commander Gen. Chuck Jacoby. 19 Oct 2014 The Defense Department said Sunday that it is preparing a quick-response medical team to help health-care professionals should the Ebola virus spread in the United States. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel ordered the training of the 30-member team and said the effort was in response to a Department of Health and Human Services request...The U.S. military is working to build medical centers in hard-hit Liberia and may eventually send as many as 4,000 soldiers to West Africa.

US troops deployed to battle Ebola in West Africa WON'T be equipped with Hazmat suits --Soldiers from 101st Airborne Division will be given only masks and gloves --Commander of US troops in Africa said soldiers do not need the full suits 20 Oct 2014 Soldiers from the 101st Airborne Division deployed to Ebola hotspots in West Africa to battle the deadly disease will not receive full protective Hazmat suits for their mission [of ensuring the pandemic takes hold in West Africa, so USociopaths can seize the oil]. Instead, the troops will be given only masks and gloves to protect them from the potentially fatal virus, General David Rodriguez said at a Pentagon briefing. General Rodriguez said that soldiers' health will be monitored through surveys and taking their temperatures on their way in and out of camps. If a serviceman does get sick, they will be flown home [the U.S.] immediately for treatment.

New Ebola Guidelines for Hospitals to Require Full Body Cover 19 Oct 2014 New, more stringent hospital guidelines for treating Ebola patients will require full body coverings and mandate that health-care workers be monitored while putting on and taking off protective garb, a top U.S. health official said. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, which is part of the National Institutes of Health, said the new guidelines will be "much more stringent" and require that no skin be exposed...The U.S. has designated Emory University Hospital in Atlanta, the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Md., St. Patrick Hospital in Missoula, Mont., and Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha to handle Ebola cases.

120 people being monitored for Ebola in Texas 20 Oct 2014 About 120 people are now being monitored for possible infection with Ebola because they may have had contact with one of the three people in Dallas who had the disease, Texas health officials said Monday. Officials said 43 of 48 people on an original watch list have passed the 21-day maximum incubation period for the viral disease and are now in the clear.

Obama Could Resume Bush-Era Acceptance of Torture 19 Oct 2014 When the Bush administration revealed in 2005 that it was secretly interpreting a treaty ban on "cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment" as not applying to C.I.A. and military prisons overseas, [CIAciopath] Barack Obama, then a newly elected Democratic senator from Illinois, joined in a bipartisan protest. But the Obama administration has never officially declared its position on the treaty, and now, President Obama's legal team is debating whether to back away from his earlier view. It is considering reaffirming the Bush administration's position that the treaty imposes no legal obligation on the United States to bar cruelty torture outside its borders, according to officials who discussed the deliberations on the condition of anonymity.

German journo: European media writing pro-US stories under CIA pressure 19 Oct 2014 German journalist and editor Udo Ulfkotte says he was forced to publish the works of intelligence agents under his own name, adding that noncompliance ran the risk of being fired. Ulfkotte made the revelations during interviews with RT and Russia Insider. "I ended up publishing articles under my own name written by agents of the CIA and other intelligence services, especially the German secret service," Ulfkotte told Russia Insider..."That article was how Gaddafi tried to secretly build a poison gas factory. It was a story that was printed worldwide two days later."
