THE HOT ZONE : A chilling 1995 book about Ebola

[Bill Ryan]

.
Hi, All:

I found this 1995 New York Times Bestselling book as a PDF, and felt it was important enough to post it on its own thread.

http://projectavalon.net/THE_HOT_ZON...rd_Preston.pdf



Here's the Wikipedia summary:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hot_Zone

From the Wiki article:

• Horror writer Stephen King called the first chapter, "one of the most horrifying things I've read in my whole life". When asked whether any book "scared the pants off you" television writer Suzanne Collins answered, "The Hot Zone, by Richard Preston. I just read it a few weeks ago. Still recovering."

I would agree.

Here are just a few extracts from the book. In the light of these, there is something VERY VERY VERY wrong with the way the CDC is handling the current situation in the US.

• Ebola Zaire is the most feared agent at the Institute. The general feeling around USAMRIID has always been "Those people who work with Ebola are crazy." To mess around with Ebola is an easy way to die. Better to work with something safer, such as anthrax.

• No one around the Institute wanted to get involved with his Ebola project. Ebola, the slate wiper, did things to people that you did not want to think about. The organism was too frightening to handle, even for those who were comfortable and adept in space suits. They did not care to do research on Ebola because they did not want Ebola to do research on them.

• From the moment Ebola enters your blood stream, the war is already lost; you are almost certainly doomed. You can't fight off Ebola the way you fight off a cold. Ebola does in ten days what it takes AIDS ten years to accomplish.

• It is not really known how Ebola is transmitted from person to person. Army researchers believed that Ebola virus traveled through direct contact with blood and bodily fluids (in the same way the AIDS virus travels). Ebola seemed to have other routes of travel as well.
  Two weeks after the incident with the bloody glove, something frightening happened in the Ebola rooms. The two healthy monkeys developed red eyes and blood noses, and they crashed and bled out.
  They had never been deliberately infected with Ebola virus, and they had not come near the sick monkeys. They were separated from the sick monkeys by open floor.
  "It probably traveled through the air in aerosolized secretion. That was when I knew that Ebola can travel through the air."

• We don't really know what Ebola has done in the past, and we don't know what it might do in the future. Ebola was unpredictable. An airborne strain of Ebola could emerge and circle around the world in about six weeks.

This is a true story.

The author, Richard Preston, concludes: The Ebola Virus will be back.

I don't know if I should read this yet. I don't want to mix up this book's story, with the one, I'm writing. Good thing that this type of stuff was already done in 2012, and the movement of it from file to file, shows it as proof. Anyway, mine is a booster shot for immune system to those who were weak from Malaria and certain vitamins that made the body lathargic and metabolism slow. Parasites entering the feet and spreading throughout the body were the reason.

Thanks Bill, I just pointed out in the Hemorrhagic Fever thread, Canada's health agency happens to mention that the Aerosol technique IS used to infect the specimens. They've also said, this isn't the regular Ebola Zaire but something new with a different genetic structure than the EBola Zaire. The article from Canada appears to be a technical article meant for research scientists, not lay public.

Thanks, Bob — I've also just watched the 1995 Dustin Hoffman movie OUTBREAK. The storyline is stereotyped, but Hoffman is quite excellent and it really DOES hammer home the potential seriousness of this.

There is ZERO chance this has not been weaponized in the bioweapons labs. Whether that weapon's actually been released, or whether the CDC incompetence is just 'opportunistic' (so to speak), I don't yet know.

Alex Jones feels this is NOT the 'big one', and this might be just a beta test. I tend to agree; but someone may be delighted if it all gets out of hand (as it may). In summary, we should not be playing this down.

(Oh, and by the way... do read the book. Or, search through the PDF and flick through all the 'Ebola' page search results. That way you can get a feel of it all in 10 minutes flat. It's worth doing.)

[Bob]

Agreed - I just posted the a description of what may be used in the bioweapon format. Came from the Canadian link.

The HOT ZONE was one of the books I read as a young teen, and to say the least, was very formative in terms of how books affect the worldview of a growing person.
(was readin' the questionable bits re: Kitum Cave after a shower, my wet hair went "plop" on my head, felt just like a bat LMFAO...)

The biggest thing I took away from the book was 1.) the source was never isolated contrary to what we keep hearing, and 2.) outbreaks are as likely to originate in the lab as in the wild, and 3.) places giving flu shots i.e. hospitals and clinics helped spread Ebola because people shared needles... sounded a lot like a cover story for something that was lab grown or disseminated via vaccine.

Truth is often far more disappointing that fiction, i.e. would cause mass depression so TPTB, to keep us cheerful and back to work, don't bother letting us know what's going on.

Thanks Bill. I have been reading about ebola for years and did not know about this book. I am glad that it is mentioned that ebola IS NOT like the common cold or infections and that vitamin c won't make it With this virus in fact i find appalling the spread of such myth to make believe it could be killed with what we actually commonly do. I would not want to be responsible for the death of the poor folks who believed my misleading advice, if i were to believe such treatment.

Ebola will be back with a vengeance and we have to be ready. And this baby will be tackled through real science, not through habitual beliefs.

And yes, the ways it is actually handled by governments worlwide provokes ones to ask many questions about conspiracy facts (just finished reading the thread on the facts on the largest banks who are conspiring to fix prices and are let go free in court - no more laws in finance, it is the wild west and the biggies cannot bectrusted at all)

I feel it is actually the same with ebola. Something and some rats are behind the curtain.

Sorry for the mistakes. Writing from a phone.

Thank you Bill

I read the book a couple of months ago. I was really surprised that it did not get out of control and infect D.C. and surrounding areas. They were really lucky that time. Who knows what bio-accidents they've had since then.

I wonder what shenanigans Obama and his handlers are up to while everyone is focused on the Ebola scare.

[The Lawnman]

I read this book over ten years ago. It is written by Dr. Leonard G Horowitz in which he provides documentation as to the origin of the AIDS & Ebola viruses.

More on the OUTBREAK movie , again correlation between fiction and reality ?

That book costs 23 clams and there's no Kindle version. I put it on my wish list though.

You can always watch the video...it won't cost you anything but some time; which I believe is worth it. In the book the author provides photo copies of the DOD documents and congressional records in support of his claims.

Hi Everyone,

There is ZERO chance this has not been weaponized in the bioweapons labs.

I first heard about Ebola through a classified brief issued by HQ SAC in the 70's.
It never dawned on me until recently:

SAC = Strategic Air Command

Strategic = World Wide

I'd say that your figure above has a fairly good chance of being accurate.

I've also just watched the 1995 Dustin Hoffman movie OUTBREAK. The storyline is stereotyped, but Hoffman is quite excellent and it really DOES hammer home the potential seriousness of this.

This was a VERY good movie which I believe indirectly depicts Ebola and the seriousness of the epidemic/pandemic.

Another movie which, although briefly, directly mentions Ebola is the 2012 movie Prometheus

But Stephen King's comment on the first chapter of the book The Hot Zone (1995) kind of surprised me:

one of the most horrifying things I've read in my whole life".

Because before any of these movies or book, Stephen King wrote the story and book for the most excellent 1994 TV Mini-Series The Stand

After a deadly plague kills most of the world's population, the remaining survivors split into two groups - one lead by a benevolent elder and the other by a maleficent being - to face each other in a final battle between good and evil.

As an aside, two of the aforementioned stories share yet another major common element: A Very Large Bomb.

These are just a few stories within the time-line from the 70's to the present which share the same common theme, of which probably a dozen or so more could be cited.

Do you hear what they're telling you?

Whether that weapon's actually been released, or whether the CDC incompetence is just 'opportunistic' (so to speak), I don't yet know.

Just a speculation, but it could very well be like the movie Outbreak depicts: The military knows what's going on but the CDC (civilian Government) does not know the military's involvement.

The CDC has already imported Ebola infected people to the states for treatment and there have already been some instances of trouble because of it (ie: Several Quarantines and already One(?) Death (You cannot know what they are NOT telling you).

It all just seems terribly nonsensical, doesn't it?

Now you might want to read this news report from Military.com and see what you can glean from it:

General Say Troops Will Test Blood of Potential Ebola Patients

And maybe pay particular attention to this comment by the general:

Should any U.S. troops be suspected of contracting Ebola, they will be flown in isolation units aboard specially-outfitted aircraft for treatment in the U.S.

Yea, I'm afraid I may have to disagree with Alex Jones on this one.

The Alpha and Beta tests may have already been completed and we soon may be seeing the Release Candidate (RC-1).

Very good set of observations Harley, clear thoughtful and helpful. Thanks.

Tell you what: What I'm seeing now has me thinking twice about going to airports and Walmart.

Thanks Bob and Good To See Ya!

Interesting that the third independent report (multiple University level) on the E-Cat was released today, but completed in March. The catalyst, finally revealed, is Lithium.

http://www.e-catworld.com/2014/10/08...port-released/

Released, essentially, on the second blood moon eclipse.

Over unity is ushered in, and a desire for control and cover, is moved forward. Free energy changes the entire system from the ground level up, and we are now in the zone. Now things begin to pick up, as it were.

The catalyst information and the fine detail in the report, will have experimenters 'on it' everywhere.

Apologies for the side issue, but I feel they are related.

I've done a quick proofreading & editing of Bill's OCR version of the book THE HOT ZONE. Here's it is. Half as many pages, and I guess easier to read.

Another seemingly unrelated side note from me:

Since I am aware such matters usually develop in a different set of reality of cause and effect, what we are experiencing right now has been in the making for a while. I am not saying this is engineered by a human hand, because my inner feeling is that it is either someone's mistake, used by another, or a natural occurrence.

In this article is stated as follows:

...
it might be of interest to know that there is a historical precedent for treating hemorrhagic diseases such as Ebola in the history of traditional Chinese medicine. In the 14th century, Wang Lu (Wang An-Dao, 1332-1391) wrote that some infectious diseases could be caused directly by “Heat.” “Heat” in the traditional sense did not refer to atmospheric temperature but represented the acknowledgement of contagious infectious diseases with a specific set of symptoms. About a hundred years later, the physician Wang Ji (Wang Shi-Shan, 1463-1539) proposed that such diseases could be contracted directly. Finally it was as recent as the Qing dynasty (1644-1911) that the Warm disease theory was codified and diagnostic and treatment protocols were set forth, obviously based on the experience of numerous Chinese physicians successfully treating these conditions.

To back up a bit, we need to understand that the germ theory of disease which refers to the presence of small microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, protists (such as protozoa), fungi or prions, confirmed by microscopes strong enough to detect them, could only be inferred. This was true both in China as well as the West where the germ theory was first proposed in the mid-16th century. This gained widespread credence with further discoveries during the 17th century.

In the early history of China infectious diseases caused by Heat were only hinted at in ancient texts such as the Yellow Emperor, long before the distinction between diseases caused by the energetic concepts of Cold and Heat was made. Similar to the Western traditional medicine encompassing ancient Greco-Roman and Arabic medicine, the etiology of diseases first compiled in the 2nd century attributed the major factors of diseases to be the individual’s constitution, environmental factors including and especially climate and seasonal conditions, bad diet, overwork and emotional imbalance.

These were broadly divided in Chinese medicine into two main categories:

Internal damage caused by constitution, diet, work, stress or emotions.
External diseases caused by atmospheric environmental factors such as wind, cold, summer heat, dampness, dryness, or fire.

Source: https://www.planetherbs.com/michaels...r-the-sun.html

It may be the fact that African countries have the necessary environment for such disease to be re-awakened again and to pick up speed, it might be that those natural conditions have been used for the current level of damage to spread steadily and to look as if appearing naturally, but in any case conditions - on many levels and with sets of attributes - and effects are related.

Another fact to be taken into account is the higher level of other respiratory viruses roaming among us world-wide right now ( many threads here have already covered that ).
The way it seems to me is that the energetic impact of this outbreak has been dispersed into smaller, and less deadly diseases throughout the world, energetically speaking.

I also seems likely that this has been activated by some sort of catalyst with its own energetic behavior and purpose.

I'm open to concede if explained otherwise, but really I don't see the need for this thread. Utter fear mongering at it's most potent, with not much of a point or end goal other than that... ?
