Ebola and Obama (Saturbray)
www.braylog.com ^ | 10/18/14 | bray

Exodus 15:26 He said, “If you listen carefully to the LORD your God and do what is right in his eyes, if you pay attention to his commands and keep all his decrees, I will not bring on you any of the diseases I brought on the Egyptians, for I am the LORD, who heals you.”

It seems that something as horrific as Ebola finally is showing the world how inefficient and corrupt Marxism is. You can call it communism, socialism or progressivism, they are all synonyms for Marxism and that is what the District of Corruption is and the most virile brand is in the Democrat Party. President Obama and his CDC are under the spotlight and about to show the absolute ignorance and incompetence which represents Marxism. Our only hope now is that we can survive the recklessness and cowboy attitude this President has with his war on America and the latest strain which has potential to kill us all.

Karl Marx was an idealist who believed in communalism. That belief is that people are inherently good and if given a chance would give up their selfish desires and work for the greater societal good. He lived in an agrarian society at the beginning of the industrial revolution and thought that farms could be organized laterally rather than vertically and that everyone would work together and not care about getting ahead, no really. His belief was that everyone could make the same wage and if everyone worked as one communal team the entire team would grow together and succeed as a communal group.

This basic theory sounds really good on paper and in the halls of academia where all of the professors scratch and claw to get their names known, but in real life it falls apart from lack of a motivating factor. The main problem is that people are individuals and not robots who can be expected to work as a machine without expectation of a return. People are emotional beings who need to be recognized and rewarded for their efforts and the Marxist system has no method of doing that. You cannot be recognized or your comrade would have to be equally noticed and then his comrade and so forth. For the Marxist system to work it has to be equally shared and equally ignored to work as Marx professed.

This is where Marxism begins to fall apart in that there can be no leadership structure if there is no reward system. He believed that people would simply make these micro farms work as a natural structure ignoring the fact that the reason farming worked was that it had a capitalistic framework in that the farmer was the owner and boss and would make the farm as efficient as possible to provide for his family. This goes against the Marxist model so after a revolution they would and did take the farms from the farmers and turned it over to the commune and installed the Marxist model which was doomed to failure. Crops rotted in the fields as there was no structure to plant, nurture and harvest as nobody received anything for the work they did and the natural tendency of man took over and in most Marxist utopias like the Soviet Union, Germany and China that natural tendency was survival.

What the Marxists did not understand and still do not is that it is a good system for the 49% who are the least motivated and a bad system for the 49% who are motivated. In reality there will always be achievers who want to rise to the top and non-achievers who do not. The Marxist model does not allow this as everyone receives the same whether they excel or don’t. Anybody with half a brain can understand where this model is going to fail, unfortunately Marxists tend to fall in the lower 49% and did not spot the obvious flaw and still do not. We are now being run by the lower 49%.

Once the gummits saw that there was no natural structure to harvest the crops, they instituted a structure built on political affiliation. Those who were in the Communist Party were the leaders of the farms and industry and those who were not necessarily the achievers and by natural selection they were in the lower of the lower 49% leading to rotting crops and bad engineering. The lower achievers were telling the higher achievers what to do and how to do it leading to lower quality and a failing economy. The Party members were chosen by corruption and cronyism which would put people in charge of the auto industry who had no auto industry experience leading to poor quality and horrible engineering resulting in some of the worst cars in the world with ten year waiting lists if you were a Party member.

This is the problem with Marxism is that it is a top down corrupt system which replaces natural abilities and achievement with centralized top down methodology. Since the basic model is that everyone achieves equally with no specialization or added ambition, leaders are chosen by favoritism and Party loyalty an outside determinate that is filled with alternative opportunity and outside the product goals. This also brings the moral of the entire enterprise down as the workers and managers see no process of advancement outside the political avenues and will ignore the task at hand and relegate themselves to producing the minimum required.

America has been transformed thanks to Obama using this model and is now all that is standing between a potential deadly disease and the American people. We now have our first death and exposure on American soil thanks to some bottom achievers in the White House which is the definition of the bottom half of the bottom half. These are all Party members who have been promoted by loyalty to the Party and hatred of capitalism and America. We now have the head of the Center for Disease Control who is a political hack and has no knowledge whatsoever of diseases or how to control them. He is there to get this disease through the election and do as little damage to the Party as possible. This is to be expected given Marxism and its real goal.

We are about to see once again why Marxism does not work. The model is fatally flawed and has no possibility or motivation to work. Yes, they would like to stop the disease for political reasons, but there are structural flaws as we are witnessing throughout the system to have any chance of actually succeeding. A lateral system with corrupt centralized leaders will never work which is why this is doomed and more Americans will potentially die depending on how communicable Ebola is. We can only pray that the only thing standing between Ebola and a plague is not Marxism.

Pray America wakes up

Marxism works for those at the TOP for a few decades or so. Then one morning, they wake up with their heads on a pike.

I say, let’s cut to the chase! :)

I agree that Marxism is inefficient and corrupt, but I don't think that Ebola is what demonstrates this. Does anyone here believe that China's response to Ebola would be as half-assed as ours? That China (or Russia) wouldn't think twice before instituting draconian quarantine and travel ban measures?

I believe they'd handle this much better than Obama has.

Marxism is just a symptom of spiritual darkness. Marxism is institutionalized hate, resentment, jealousy, envy and emptiness. Decent, righteous, happy people aren’t interested.

Obama is completely out to lunch about this.

America needs to enforce our borders, while Ebola is out there. Now. Completely.

Stop messing around Obama.

Protect America’s borders.

"You never want a serious crisis to go to waste"

Why is 0bama wasting this Ebola crisis? Think of all the draconian power grabs he could be imposing in the name of protecting us, especially the children,

Obama’s dithering gets in the way of action. By the time he finally gets around to a decision, the crisis is wasted

Dithering destroys the opportunity

American culture replicates throughout the world.

So, now we have a culture that endorses gay marriage, transgenders, abortion, etc., and thereby spreads these “progressive” ideas throughout the world; and even seeks to impose this even on nations (as in Africa) which are trying to resist.

So how soon before God has to do something about letting that culture spread? How does he get our attention?

By reminding the nation that no matter what fairy-kingdoms are set up and what perversions are endorsed, he is still the rule-maker and scorekeeper. And in the end, for all the progressive prattle, death is still the great stalker.

A drought says to the nation, Pay attention! A plague says the same thing, only louder.

Good call. All the competent commies must have jumped ship already. He’s left with a bunch of clueless ones that don’t know how to turn the screws to the max. Maybe we should consider ourselves lucky.

Well said Bray.

Insanity is trying failed methods (ie.Marxism) over again and again and expecting different results.

Liberals are truly insane and evil.

What is going on reminds me of all the movies about communism and fascism where key positions are filled by political ideologues who lord over qualified people and totally screw everything up.

Obola is a muslim terrorist. He intends to kill us because he hates us. If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck it must be a duck.

Please call congress and tell them that we must be deadly serious about containing Ebola by strict quarantine within the United States and from infected nations. This is our right and our duty and it is THEIR duty to protect US.

Capitol switchboard is 202-224-3121 or Google your congressman or senator and get his contact information and call him / her office directly. You can also call or go to their local offices.

I believe decisive response is urgent because you can’t put this Ebola genie back in the bottle once it gets out. It is a fire, it consumes all the fuel it can get and the fuel is people. The only way to stop a fire is to block it from the fuel or cool it with water. A vaccine or medicine to treat Ebola would be the water and we don’t have reliable, enough or any.

Every possible measure must be taken to stop the spread before draconian measures are imposed. What is being done now is sloppy. We are walking a dangerous road. The threat is blossoming by the day if not hour. Almost every hour there is some new Ebola development and none of them are good. This is a serious and potentially deadly event. Unchecked it could destroy or weaken the United States and facilitate our destruction by others. It has that potential for every country and that is why so many are responding with such strict quarantines. These consequences, no matter how small the probabilities, demand a full effort and significant response.

Ebola is being spread here in the United States right now. First Texas, then Ohio then? Terror is an excellent weapon. It disrupts, confuses, paralyzes and destroys a society. Many others and we on FR have speculated that terrorists may spread Ebola. How do you that remember 9/11 feel right now compared to what you felt then? Do you want to gather your loved ones near you to protect them? I do. Even more than I did on September 11, 2001! Isn’t this passive response by this administration accomplishing the very same things a terrorist would want?
When something is being done that makes as little sense as what Obama is doing there has to be some other reason. I leave it to you dear reader to draw your own conclusions as to the reasons.
What is happening now is insane. It makes no sense at all. For example the head of CDC says: “Stopping travel from Africa won’t do any good because you have to get people into Africa to fight Ebola.” “You can’t get Ebola from an infected person on a bus but an infected person should never be on a bus because he can infect others.” “Blocking travel from infected countries would damage their fragile economies.” What about ours? What about our safety? What about resources we have paid for that should be protecting us?

Even the most despotic dictatorship in Africa has acted to protect his nation by strict quarantine and stopping travel from infected countries. Even CDC, the UN and WHO advocate and credit strict quarantine for nipping the spread of Ebola in the bud at the source in places like Senegal and Nigeria where both have had faster and more successful outbreak controls than we have had here. 35 countries have stopped travel of people from infected West African countries. It is so obvious even a child could understand it so why is it OK for people from infected countries to travel here?
I will post this message and keep posting it until someone stops me.
