From 14 years experience; "the pace and atmosphere at the NIH yesterday was the most frenetic to date".

Due to technical problems I may not be able to post on the internet from this station. Windows 7 has too many conflicts to keep working much longer.

Remember that with all the human frailties from ignorance to greed there will be needless yet inevitable mistakes that will allow breakouts of US Ebola in a variety of locations that could number from 25 to 100. The worst of these may claim a thousand or more lives but there will be no total pandemic except for the epidemic of fear.
Unlike AIDS, Ebola will burn out in less than 10 years.

Fact: BUDGET Funding needs to be restored to the NIH and CDC to pre sequestration numbers.

Fact: Poverty stricken states will succumb to the most tragic loss of life and family.

Fact: Since late March 2014 we have been aware of the Ebola outbreak. In comparison to previous outbreaks since 1976 we seem to have had a significantly more anemic response in terms of resources. For the fallen heroes who put up the most courageous battle with virtually no weapons, the world owes the debt of life itself.












History: It is unlikely even a single person who sees this post will associate it with my writings going back 13 years ago when I wrote profusely and obsessively about bio warfare and intentional pandemic in prose and verse. Looking back I believe those contributions caused no real harm nor help. Credibility was not my aim as it would be to a journalist. However I believe there are many rational people like myself who see and experience time differently and face Cassandra dilemmas through out their lives. When I painted the events of the twin towers destruction, the great tsunami, sea level rise and bio warfare, all at least 10 years before their occurrence, I always had a different explanations for putting brush to canvas and why. The great irony in my life is that I have always had speech difficulties and deficits. It reminds me of Kafka saying "I have no mouth and I must scream!" If all these examples of foreknowledge are coincidental,deductions or delusional imagination I have never allowed those "delusions" to rule my life. The emotions however still seep through the bandage of everyday life. I don't deny the truth of who I am. Insightful, intellectual but ineffectual.

Despite this; I HEREBY DISAVOW any connection between those early remarks and paintings to the events surrounding Ebola today. None of those remarks apply specifically to now.
