Napoleon Bonaparte: "Never attribute to malice that which can be explained by incompetence."
Kris, I am seeing a staggering level of incompetence from Day one of this Ebola epidemic. Choices were made that turned out to be catastrophic in their results. Things were not done at all, or they were done too little and too late. In West Africa we have seen system failure at all levels of their political, economic and medical systems. In the USA we have seen a series of bad decisions made from the second Mr. Duncan was allowed to fly to the USA.
I do not personally see a grand conspiracy here, Kris. What Doomer Doug sees is a lack of resources, training, equipment and most importantly the same type of mindset we saw at Pearl Harbor in December of 1941. The critical system failure, in my opinion, is the fact that the powers that be in the USA, political and medical simply refused to accept the IDEA Ebola would get to the USA and when it did, the chaos it would cause.
We are dealing with fools, shills and political hacks here. It is like Forest Gump said in the movie: "Stupid is as stupid does."
I think people want to see conspiracy when all that is happening is blind arrogance and stupid choices and decisions.
Friedman is a political hack of truly astounding ability to make bad choices consistently. I also think Obama has made an entire series of bad decisions based solely on his liberal mindset. These people are not going to give up their PC open border mindset until the American people force them to, or remove them from office.
Doug, I've never disagreed with you before. So, to my surprise, here, I am... Your reference to December 1941 is accurate, as far as it goes... I'll posit that it's worse now, inability to act proactively-wise, than it was
post 7 December 1941... Everything that Satan's Meat Puppet, Barrack Hussein Obama,
Queer
Muslim
Murderer in
Chief, has done, has been to bring us to where we are now...
It's been said that "you can't make this up." Wrong. Satan makes the world's chess masters look like they're playing checkers... Quite a change from the
QMMC, who all but those brain dead, see as incapable of playing patty-cake...
Nothing about this situation makes sense- unless you see it as a conspiracy. W-a-a-y too many dots that connect, for it not to be orchestrated... NWO? Elites? I don't particularly care at this moment. Those responsible are presently hidden from us... They've had plenty of time, and plenty of practice... Some may laugh, but I believe that God will reveal them, for what they've said in private, will be shouted from the rooftops... They will not go unpunished, no matter where they go, do, or say... God said, "Revenge is Mine, sayeth the Lord- I Shall Repay..." As much as I'd like to pull on their ropes, God is
always better- at everything...
Someone recently said something like, "too stupid, to be stupid..." I concur... This world class monstrosity isn't natural... Diabolical, as in Satan conceived and executed through his minions...
One thing many are forgetting- "With God, ALL things are possible..."
Even Forest Gump's soliloquy, "Stupid is, as stupid does," is w-a-a-y out classed here... Nope, it's not stupidity, Doug. It's pure evil, the kind that brings about God's Wrath, while at the same time allowing Him, to show His Love, Mercy, Grace, and Kindness for those that love Him...
Stupidity? Yes, when Satan rebelled against The Father God... It's most unfortunate that all have to see, and or experience, what is to come...
Conspiracy, most definitely, by the biggest loser of all time, and his minions, Satan... God, lest anyone forget, is in control...
As TOM or Jerry might say, and I can't remember, "Lock and Load."
