[NATURAL_HEALTH] EBOLA - a historical analysis of a hysteria creating problem

EBOLA 

- a historical analysis of a hysteria creating problem

In 1977 an International Group of Experts Asked if Ebola was 'Real'

The Ebola Lie Exposed!

Posted by Dr Sircus (*) on October 24, 2014

Special Note from Dr. Sircus: In answer to the question Is Ebola Real? The best answer is we cannot be sure. If we do not know where it came from and we are not sure about the tests that test for it how do we really know if it is real? There are many doubts about Ebola though there is no doubt that the world health ministries as well as the press are having a field day doing what they love to do and that is to scare the living daylights out of the public. I am looking deeply into these questions and have been asked to publish this essay by Felicia Popescu.

Ebola - a historical analysis
By Felicia Popescu

In order to understand the true background to the present and past "Ebola" epidemics, the following booklet from a colloquium held in 1977 is recommended for further personal study. It contains the collective proceedings of 3-day meeting between a large international group of members from the medical and science community also from the WHO which co-sponsored the colloquium held in 1977 in Belgium.

"Ebola Virus Haemorrhagic Fever" (http://www.enivd.de/EBOLA/pdf/ebola-hires.pdf )

Pieces of an extraordinary puzzle unfold already on the first 180 pages:

1. No "Ebola" virus has ever been isolated!

a) The only "tests" performed back then were epidemiological surveys. As always, these so-called tests only showed indirect "proof" of the assumed "virus" (pp. 75, 76, 77 are very interesting in this respect!).

Attempts to isolate the "virus" (as described in detail on p. 112) uncover the broad deception particularly well: First, they admit that "no really satisfactory serological test has yet been devised to detect and quantify antibodies against either Marburg or Ebola viruses". Not even the antibody test was "reliable" as "crude antigens" had previously been injected into guinea pigs and monkeys only to be "redetected" later in the so-called "indirect immunofluorescence test" (!!); they went on to state that "no really obvious cytopathogenic changes can be readily visualized in any of the cell culture systems used so far although Johnson et al have claimed that some cytopathic changes are discernible in vero cells" (!!); ignoring their own hypothesis that antibodies are proof of the existence of a virus, it was declared (just like they do with "asymptomatic or sub-clinical infections" also claimed when they find no antibodies after vaccinations) that even patients without antibodies were nevertheless "infected" due to symptoms such as "febrile illnesses" and haemorrhages. in the preconceived minds and despite the very inconclusive results from these highly controversial methodologies only a "pathogenic virus" could be at the root of all symptoms.

b) K. M. Johnson makes the following comment on p. 139: "Looking for something in nature, it is more easy, on a numerical basis, at any time to find evidence of antibodies against infection than it is to isolate the agent itself in the individual animal"; of course one has to assume that Mr Johnson didn't know that no one had ever isolated or documented the pathogen which was delivered to him and against which he tested for antibodies!

c) On p. 141 it is reported that just 17% of the acutely ill people had such antibodies (again measured only by the indirect fluorescent technique) and some people "with or without contact with a case of haemorrhagic fever and no symptoms" were also tested "positive"!

In other words, of the severely ill, only 17% had the antibodies which are considered a proof surrogate for the virus and 83% of the Ebola "diagnosed" did not carry the antibodies as means for evidence of the virus. At the same time these antibodies were also found in people having no symptoms at all. So the results clearly do not support the supposition, the existence of a pathogen, but in fact were even absolutely counter-indicative. Still, all the experts blamed the "virus" for the symptoms.

d) On p. 143 K.M. Johnson surprisingly reaches a quite reasonable conclusion: "It is clear to us that the more work you do with the FA-test, the more interesting, the more complicated complicated and the more biologically sloppy the results become."

e) On p. 180 the authors of the paper on the classification of the so-called "arboviruses" gratefully acknowledge the provision of the "viruses" used for testing (for which there is no proof whatsoever that they had ever before been isolated or photographed or biochemically described): "Viruses were kindly provided by Dr. Yves Robin, Director of Pasteur Institute of Dakar, Robert E. Shope, Director of Yale Arbovirus Research Unit, James D. Converse, U.S. Naval Medical Research Unit, Dr. Brunhilde, Kupper University of Cologne, Dr. Pierre Sureau, Pasteur Institute, Paris."

f) On p. 192 there is another paper about "isolation", this time of the famous Lassa "virus", which they apparently isolated from rodents (Mastomys natalensis), except they didn't, because there is also a note saying that "antigens were supplied by the CDC (Centers for Disease Control, Atlanta, USA), as lyophilized betapropiolactone (BPL) inactivated Vero tissue culture propagated Lassa virus".

Seeing that what they tested with were only artefacts of cell culture that they had been previously provided with in the first place and never isolated themselves from genetic material of "infected" patients, it's time to join the German biologist Dr. Stefan Lanka in asking the absolute begging questions: Where do the original proteins, these antigens, come from? Where were they isolated from? Where was the "isolation" published?? Where was the control group? Since the answer to all these questions is, in fact, nowhere, the propagated Ebola virus hypothesis does not live up to even basic scientific standards. Technically speaking it is a showcase example of a circular argument which is the common modus operandi of modern virology as the very basis of almost all of today's medical vaccination campaigns.

2. Barbarous animal testing

The atrocious experiments performed on guinea pigs and monkeys, during which the animals were INJECTED intraperitoneally (into the abdominal cavity) with the suspected "virus concoction" (what a perfect way to imitate the "natural" infection, isn't it?) are simply unbelievable – just reading about them makes your flesh crawl; the "scientists" who had performed the experiments then coolly stated that "no animal survived the INFECTION" ("infection" or MURDER??) (pp. 79-80, p. 109-110); it makes your hair stand on end!

3. Epidemics always started in hospitals

Most epidemics had hospitals as points of origin! Below, a few examples.

a) On p. 94 they state: "People in the community had already associated the mission hospital with the epidemic and had stopped coming to the outpatient department" (!!);

b) On p. 95 they state: "This epidemic was also associated with a hospital."

c) On p. 105 there is a description of three cases of patients who died in hospital; the third patient died "after several short stays in hospital"; it would be interesting to know what medication he received, but here, again, we see that from the point of view of the experts, only the "virus" must be at fault.

d) On p. 106 they stated that "the main focus of infection appeared to have been the cotton factory"; one paragraph further down and the secret is revealed: "The cotton factory also has a small clinic room where minor illnesses in the factory employees are treated. Injections of chloroquine [malaria medication] and occasionally antibiotics are given in this dispensary."

e) It goes on on p. 107: "Of the employees found seropositive […], approx. 50% would have had injections at the dispensary for their minor febriles illnesses" (exactly WHAT they were injected with is not specified).

f) On p. 116 it is explained that the "transmission" of the Ebola "virus" was "interrupted by the closure of  Yambuku Hospital with cessation of giving injections" (relevant in this case seems to be rather the closure of the hospital and the discontinuation of all "treatments" – see 4. below)

4. People were more likely to be killed by the "prevention measures" and the "treatments"

a) In the hospitals, patients and sometimes the medical staff who then also became ill (…) were routinely treated with interferon, antimalarial treatment, chloramphenicol, other antibiotics, antipyretic agents etc.! (p. 86, p. 124)

b) In addition to the antimalarial medication, some patients also received "anti-typhoid drugs" (p. 98), whereupon they developed various "haemorrhagic events" (epistaxis, haemoptysis, haematemesis, malaena), which in the context of their general condition and cachexia (cellular exhaustion) led to the breakdown of the entire organism. These obvious adverse effects of the medication were again attributed to the assumed virus!

c) The syringes and needles used "between patients" were also simply "washed in a pan of warm water" (p. 85). Apart from the mind-boggling hygienic standards in the medical centres, we have another proof that the patients were getting a lot of injections.

d) It is reported several times that many patients became ill as a result of "previous injections" (for example on p. 87). Exactly WHAT they were injected with, however, is, once again, never unveiled.

e) On p. 114 it says that "the outbreak became alarming when it was introduced into Maridi hospital." (with "large outbreak among the medical staff" – you will find out why by reading a few lines below!) Another quote: "If it would not have spread to Maridi and Yambuku hospitals, no one would have remembered it. There has never been any outbreak like these before, because amplifying forces have not been there: a needle, an amazing remarkable social structure or a newly established teaching hospital where these kind of outbreaks can happen" (!!). And then comes the cherry on the cake: "During the epidemic in Maridi 13,914 doses of typhoid vaccine were administered"(!!) Remember the "haemorrhagic events" caused by the "anti-typhoid drugs" described in section (b), these are the classic symptoms ascribed to the supposed Ebola virus.

f) Also on p. 114, the author is surprised that in Sudan the mortality in patients admitted to hospitals increased from 25% in August to 44.6% in September and then to 70% in October, i.e. after the massive vaccination campaign had been launched in September!! However, here again, of course, the so-called "pathogenic virus" serves as a scapegoat for the huge leap of the mortality rate!

g) A certain D.P. Francis makes the following comment on p. 115: "We did our very best to administer the typhoid and gamma globulin injections. But actually very few doses were given, a lot of them in the hospital staff" (!!), "because they were at high risk". And then they wonder why the nurses got ill and died as well and of course, once again – despite the fact that the nurses took precautionary measures when working with the patients – only the so-called "pathogenic virus" could be responsible!

h) On the same page, p.115, D.P. Francis says the following: "There were people infected in the hospitals, admitted initially for various diseases, who were treated in the hospitals, including injections [once again, exactly WHAT they were injected with is not mentioned!!] and who 5 to 7 days later came down with usually fatal disease." Like before, no mentioning of what is was they injected.

i) Again on p. 115 M. Isaäcson comments: "The Maridi Hospital was a large teaching hospital and it was noted that the main victims were the student nurses" (remember that it was the medical staff in particular who were vaccinated!).

j) On p. 116 it says that a vaccination campaign with the typhoid vaccination was prescribed for all nursing staff (!!); we can therefore assume that that was common practice everywhere and vaccinations could be a significant factor as to why many nurses – who otherwise only had protected contact with patients – died in droves!!

k) On p. 117 it is described how the hospital staff and the population went crazy with panic and the investigative team had to come to the conclusion that the hospital "had a leading role in the spread of the disease" (!!).

l) The following is reported on p. 128 (brace yourself!) "Except for spraying of DDT (!!) in Maridi, Yambio and Nzara and limited vaccinations against yellow fever, none of the recommended control and preventive measures were carried out because nobody was made to stay and implement the measures in the affected area". No wonder everyone fled when they started spraying DDT (poisonous pesticide) as a "prevention measure"!!

The subsequent symptoms due to heavy poisoning of the population were, once again, attributed to the "dreaded" virus.

5. Coercive "treatment" carried out by the WHO Gestapo-style

a) Very relevant within the overall picture of this "epidemic" also seems to be the consistently "hostile" attitude of the local population vis-à-vis the "saviours" who were armed with protective suits and face masks!

b) On p. 116 it says: "There was no strict isolation of patients in Yambuku hospital and some of the patients ESCAPED (!) to go back and die in their villages."

c) On p. 117 it is reported that the "contaminated" areas were blocked off and with the help of the military (!!) roadblocks were erected. Was the population right to be afraid of coercive "treatment"?

d) On p. 123 it is described how the houses and rooms of the dead people were completely fumigated with formaldehyde over FOUR consecutive days; the bodies were wrapped in cotton sheets impregnated with phenol; the subsequent symptoms of heavy poisoning in relatives or neighbours of the dead could of course, once again, only be related to the presumed "pathogenic virus".

e) On p. 129 it says: "We knew there were more cases hidden in homes (!) than those brought to hospital. Because very few in-patients survived the disease [or the treatment!] and because health staff were also affected and killed by the disease [well, let's not forget the many vaccinations!], panic had arisen resulting in the running away of some hospital patients and hiding of those who should have been brought to the hospital." – It would seem that the poor Africans had noticed even back then that a stay in hospital was sure to lead to their deaths and they were quite rightly afraid of the "life-saving Western medicine".

f) The "spread" of the disease was at its worst in Maridi (we haven't forgotten: DDT had been sprayed as a "prevention measure" here!!).
g) On p. 129 it is reported that there were "detection teams" to whom the local authorities had given the right to access and search every house!!! Every house was searched by these "case detectors" who combed the area on foot, by bike or by car and "the epidemic Control Office sent an ambulance to collect patients and take them to the hospital" – Déjà-vu?

The German biologist Dr. rer. nat. Stefan Lanka had already explained years ago that Ebola was in his opinion caused by various vaccine experiments carried out in Africa. During a lecture in 2001 he had explained that "cells are destroyed by radioactivity, even if they call it Ebola; it is the consequence of irradiation through genetic vaccinations. These people would bleed to death internally and externally. The feared Ebola virus on the other hand has yet to be found or isolated."

And once more Dr. Stefan Lanka a few years ago: "All vaccination programmes in the third world are, from a scientific point of view, under the strongest suspicion of deliberate genocide, the decimation of the indigenous population away from the eyes of the world, even the so-called Ebola cases are in reality some of the worst vaccine-induced injuries, since in Africa they sometimes "work" with doses that are 1,000 times higher than in Europe and so these are more likely side effects of criminal human experiments."
(Source: http://www.krisenfest.org/gesundheit/infektionstheorie/)

The German Medical Review 118 of 29 June 2000 (Ärzte-Zeitung) had already admitted that vaccine doses with 100-1,000 higher concentrations than what is used in Europe had been given and had led to numerous deaths of African babies in the nineties.

Dr. Stefan Lanka commented on these "trials" naming them for what they were (or still are?) – secret genetic experiments on African people: "When you are poisoned with such a lethal dosis, your liver stops creating the globulins needed for blood-clotting. You then start bleeding internally and externally, it is called haemorrhagic fever… and of course they are blaming it once more on a virus!"

Why We Exist

Many abuses facing African people are committed by African states, ruling elites, armed groups, military forces and security services. But these abuses are often sustained by international silence, Western lobbying, trade interests, migration deals, mineral access, diplomatic partnerships and unequal global accountability. Africa Realities Media exposes that system.

Lived Experience Matters

Survivors, displaced communities, refugees, families affected by repression, journalists, activists, women, young people and diaspora voices are not passive subjects. They are knowledge holders. Their experiences must shape policy, advocacy, journalism and public debate. The people closest to injustice are often closest to the solutions.

Our Principle

Africa Realities Media is rooted in one principle: African lives deserve equal truth, equal justice and equal protection.

La ligne publique constante de Kigali a été que sa présence militaire en RDC répond à la menace posée par les Forces démocratiques de libération du Rwanda (FDLR), un groupe armé dont les dirigeants comprennent des individus liés au génocide de 1994 contre les Tutsi. Ce récit a été accepté, nuancé, ou laissé insuffisamment contesté par les gouvernements occidentaux et les institutions multilatérales pendant plus d’une décennie. La bataille de Rubaya met ce récit à nu. Ce qui s’est déroulé à Rubaya n’était pas une opération de contre-insurrection contre des restes génocidaires. C’était une campagne mili...

Les remèdes cosmétiques de la France face à la guerre dans l’est de la RDC

Résolution 2773, Conférence de Paris, doctrine macronienne du dialogue et pari de la Francophonie La politique de la France à l’égard de l’est de la RDC a produit un schéma constant : un langage public fort, une faible application des décisions, aucune pression visible fondée sur les sanctions, et des appels répétés au dialogue qui laissent largement intact le levier militaire et politique du Rwanda. La France ne peut pas rédiger des résolutions, organiser des conférences, rejeter les sanctions, appeler au dialogue, puis revendiquer la neutralité pendant que les civils restent sous occupation, déplacement et violence. Dans une guerre de cette ampleur, le silence et l’inaction ne sont pas neutres. Ce sont des actes politiques. Introduction La France se présente comme l’une des puissances occidentales les plus engagées dans la recherche de la paix dans l’est de la République démocratique du Congo. Elle a parrainé la Résolution 2773 du Conseil de sécurité des Nations unies. Elle a organ...

President Macron Against US Sanctions on Rwanda

How France's Interests in Mozambique Obstruct Peace in the DRC A Critical Analysis of Emmanuel Macron's Interview with TV5 Monde, Africa Forward Summit, Nairobi, 12 May 2026 Published by The African Rights Campaign (ARC)   |   London, May 2026   1. Introduction This analysis is based on French President Emmanuel Macron's interview with TV5 Monde, conducted on 12 May 2026 during the Africa Forward Summit in Nairobi, Kenya. In that interview, Macron was asked a direct question: given that Rwanda's support for the M23 armed group has been documented by United Nations experts, and given that the United States has imposed sanctions on the Rwanda Defence Force and several of its senior officers, why have France and the European Union declined to do the same? Macron's response was unconvincing, dishonest and analytically incoherent. It revealed not a carefully calibrated position of principled neutrality, but the operational logic of a government that has c...

The Kagame Myth: Western Power, Private Jets and Rwanda’s Controlled Reality

  ANALYSIS AND INVESTIGATION Introduction: The Myth and the Man Behind the Myth There is a version of Paul Kagame that exists in the conference halls of Davos, in the pages of Western magazines, in private hotel meetings in London, Paris and Washington, and on the sleeves of European football shirts. In this version, Kagame is a visionary. A builder. A disciplined African moderniser. A leader who pulled a broken country from the ashes of genocide and turned it into what admirers often call the “Singapore of Africa”. In this version, Rwanda is clean, efficient, safe, investment-friendly and orderly. Kagame is presented as the African leader the West wants to believe in: controlled, polished, pro-market, security-focused and comfortable in elite Western spaces. Then there is the Rwanda that many Rwandans, exiles, journalists, opposition figures and human rights organisations describe. In this Rwanda, YouTubers and online commentators are jailed for what they say. Critics die in custo...

Dr Phil Clark ( SOAS University of London): A biased lecturer and researcher about African issues.

Dr Phil Clark   was born in Sudan and   is currently   working at SOAS University of London. He is known to be   biased lecturer and researcher about African issues, particularly the Rwandan genocide.     With his poor judgement and analytical thinking, this man only talk about   the results   of events and forget the     root causes. He is a staunch supporter of the criminal, dictator and killer Paul Kagame , the President of   Rwanda. He is singing the song of the winner of the Rwandan  war. He is in the same boat with Linda Melvern, a biased British   freelancer who received a medal from the dictator Paul     Kagame. "> "> Dr.Phil Clark "> Linda Melvern I am asking Dr Phil Clark   one question:   Dear   Dr Phil Clark, What     was the   role of   Paul Kagame and RPF in the Rwandan  massacres and genocide in and outside Rwanda?   Based...

Le Président Macron contre les sanctions américaines imposées au Rwanda

Comment les intérêts français au Mozambique font obstacle à la paix en RDC Analyse critique de l'entretien d'Emmanuel Macron avec TV5 Monde, Africa Forward Summit, Nairobi, 12 mai 2026 Publié par The African Rights Campaign (ARC)   |   Londres, mai 2026     1. Introduction La présente analyse est fondée sur l'entretien accordé par le président français Emmanuel Macron à TV5 Monde, le 12 mai 2026, lors de l'Africa Forward Summit à Nairobi, au Kenya. Au cours de cet entretien, Macron s'est vu poser une question directe : étant donné que le soutien du Rwanda au groupe armé M23 est aujourd'hui documenté par les experts des Nations Unies, et étant donné que les États-Unis ont imposé des sanctions aux Forces de défense du Rwanda (FDR) ainsi qu'à plusieurs de leurs hauts responsables, pourquoi la France et l'Union européenne n'ont-elles pas fait de même ? La réponse de Macron s'est révélée peu convaincante, malhonnête et analytique...

Kagame’s Image Machine: Who Profits While Rwanda Stays Poor

I nvestigation:  Paying to Stay Poor: How Western PR Firms, Lobbyists, Sports Clubs and Media Outlets Profit from Rwanda’s Image Economy Introduction: An Ecosystem of Paid Influence Rwanda is often presented internationally as a model of discipline, security, investment promotion and post-genocide recovery. That image has been carefully built, repeatedly amplified and professionally protected. Behind it sits a costly international network of sports sponsorships, lobbying contracts, public relations firms, legal consultancy, political access, favourable media relationships and diplomatic narrative management. The moral problem is clear. Rwanda remains heavily dependent on foreign aid and external financing. According to World Bank-linked data, foreign aid received by Rwanda reached approximately 1.39 billion US dollars in 2023. UNDP’s 2025 Human Development Report gives Rwanda a Human Development Index value of 0.578 for 2023, placing it 159th out of 193 countries and territories. U...

Justice ou théâtre politique ? Les procès français du génocide rwandais et le travail inachevé de la réconciliation entre Rwandais

Introduction Depuis 2014, les tribunaux français ont poursuivi une série de ressortissants rwandais hutu pour leur rôle présumé dans le génocide de 1994 contre les Tutsi. Le premier procès, celui de l’ancien chef du renseignement Pascal Simbikangwa, a été suivi par les condamnations des anciens bourgmestres Octavien Ngenzi et Tito Barahira en 2016, puis par la condamnation, en 2023, de l’ancien officier de gendarmerie Philippe Hategekimana. Aucun accusé jugé en France, au titre de la compétence universelle, pour le génocide rwandais n’a été acquitté. D’autres poursuites devraient suivre. Ces procédures ont été largement saluées comme la preuve que la France affronte enfin son passé d’État ayant protégé des auteurs présumés du génocide sur son territoire. Des organisations internationales de défense des droits humains, des spécialistes du génocide et une partie de la société civile française les ont présentées comme une contribution tardive, mais bienvenue, à la lutte mondiale contre l’...

Why Africa Realities Media Is Different

Africa Realities Media speaks to Africa and to the developed world. Many abuses facing African people are committed by African states and ruling elites, but they are often protected by international silence, lobbying, public relations, trade interests, migration deals and unequal global accountability. While governments pay lobbyists to present a good image abroad, ordinary African people continue to face violence, hunger, disease, poverty, repression and exclusion. We challenge the normalisation of African suffering and demand equal truth, equal justice and equal protection.

Pourquoi Africa Realities Media est différent?

Africa Realities Media s’adresse à l’Afrique et au monde développé. De nombreux abus subis par les peuples africains sont commis par des États africains et des élites dirigeantes, mais ils sont souvent protégés par le silence international, le lobbying, les relations publiques, les intérêts commerciaux, les accords migratoires et une responsabilité mondiale inégale. Tandis que des gouvernements paient des lobbyistes pour présenter une bonne image à l’étranger, des Africains ordinaires continuent de faire face à la violence, à la faim, aux maladies, à la pauvreté, à la répression et à l’exclusion. Nous contestons la normalisation de la souffrance africaine et exigeons une vérité égale, une justice égale et une protection égale.

Policy and Systems Change

Our work is designed to trigger debate, discomfort and action. We do not only expose injustice; we work for policy and systems change. We want governments and institutions to address the root causes of inequality, disadvantage, discrimination, exclusion and barriers affecting African people. We believe lasting change must be shaped by people with lived experience.

Exposing Injustice in Africa

Africa Realities Media is an independent African accountability platform based in London. We report, analyse and challenge the systems that shape African suffering, silence African victims and protect abusive power. We are not here to repeat diplomatic language. We are here to ask the questions that are often avoided: why are African deaths treated as normal? Why are African victims given less urgency? Why are governments that imprison, exclude, displace or kill their own people protected when they serve powerful international interests?

Africanews

Africa Realities Media gives space to writers, researchers, experts, activists, community voices, campaigners, analysts and people with lived experience who want to contribute thoughtful, responsible and courageous content about the changes needed in the region, as well as the political, economic, cultural and social African realities that are often ignored, minimised or misrepresented. Our articles and videos aim to encourage debate, raise awareness, stimulate critical thinking and support reflection. We seek to help people in the Great Lakes Region understand their rights to human rights, development and wellbeing, while also encouraging decision-makers to be more transparent, responsive and accountable.
