Many people know about the recent outbreak of the Ebola virus. It seems like every day we hear about another victim somewhere in the world that has been infected with this deadly disease.  It is sad that all these people die and have to suffer but that is the thing about nature, it does not always treat us humans well.

Ebola got its name from the Ebola River in Zaire (West Africa) in 1976 when the first strain (Ebola-Sudan) and first outbreak of this disease broke out in Sudan and Zaire. This first out break only infected 284 people but had a deadly mortality rate of 53%. The second strain of the Ebola virus (EBOZ) broke out just a few months later. EBOZ infected just 318 people throughout West Africa but unfortunately killing 88% of the people that were infected giving this strain of the virus the highest mortality rate of any of the Ebola virus strains. The third strain of the Ebola virus (EBOR) was first discovered in 1989 in Reston, Virginia when infected monkeys were imported from Mindanao, Philippines. Thankfully, only a few people were infected by this strain and all survived. The last strain of this virus (EBO-CI) was discovered in Cote d’Ivoire in 1994 when a female ethnologist was performing a necropsy on a dead chimpanzee from the Tai Forest and accidentally infected herself.

The current outbreak of the Ebola Virus is the largest in history infecting many countries throughout West Africa. As of October 25, these cases were said to be contained within each country. But how much of what the government tells us is true? I don’t know if anyone has heard about any of the conspiracy theories about the recent Ebola outbreak but to me I wouldn’t doubt if they are true.

The first conspiracy theory is that the strain of Ebola that has caused this current outbreak is genetically modified. I don’t know if you know about the Georgia Guide stones or not but what they are said to be is the rules for a new world order that is said to take place sometime it the recent future. Anyway, the first thing written on these stones is “maintain the world population under 500 million people.” Sounds scary right? Yeah it does considering that in order for this to happen over 6.5 billion people would have to be killed. Well Bill Gates and George Soros are two extreme globalists that both believe in these Georgia Guide stones. This means that both want the world population under 500 million people. The ironic thing is, is that both own patents on the Ebola virus. This means that they own the Ebola Virus, it is theirs.  Many of you may think I’m crazy but these men and many other people like them have made comments supporting this theory.

“First, we’ve got population. The world today has 6.8 billion people. That’s headed up to about nine billion. Now, if we do a really great job on new vaccines, health care, reproductive health services, we could lower that by, perhaps, 10 or 15 percent, but there we see an increase of about 1.3.” Bill Gates TED Talk

“There is a single theme behind all our work–we must reduce population levels. Either governments do it our way, through nice clean methods, or they will get the kinds of mess that we have in El Salvador, or in Iran or in Beirut. Population is a political problem. Once population is out of control, it requires authoritarian government, even fascism, to reduce it….”“Our program in El Salvador didn’t work. The infrastructure was not there to support it. There were just too goddamned many people…. To really reduce population, quickly, you have to pull all the males into the fighting and you have to kill significant numbers of fertile age females….” “The quickest way to reduce population is through famine, like in Africa, or through disease like the Black Death….” Thomas Ferguson, State Department Office of Population Affairs

“A total world population of 250-300 million people, a 95% decline from present levels, would be ideal.” Ted Turner, in an interview with Audubon magazine

Depopulation should be the highest priority of U.S. foreign policy towards the Third World.” Henry Kissinger

These comments only confirm the conspiracy of the world population under 500 million and not necessarily the Ebola conspiracy but I believe they go together. I believe that these extremists are using Ebola as their tool to eliminate many people. The reason I believe this is this. Look in the past break outs of Ebola. They were small breakouts only infecting 200-400 people each time but they disappeared relatively fast and did not spread around the world. This current outbreak has spread all over the world and has infected a total 10,141 people killing 4922 which is mortality rate of nearly 49%.

Call me crazy, I don’t care I believe in this. There is a lot of evil in the world today and I think this is just one way that it working and affecting every one’s lives. You can believe what you want, I’m not going to hate on your opinion just as long as you don’t hate on mine.

There is nothing like those bright lights cutting through the darkness on a calm Friday night. These lights seen for miles around, and everyone knowing what they mean. Football or some form of football has been around for centuries and over the years have evolved into three different sports that are played around the world today. These sports known as Soccer, Rugby and American football, and all have their history.

Football originated from an ancient Greek game called harpaston.  The rules of this early game were really simple. Points were scored when a player would cross the goal line by kicking the ball, running the ball across the goal line, or throwing the ball across the line to another player. The defending team’s goal was to stop them in any way possible.  There was no designated field length, no side line boundaries, no specified number of players per team, just a lack of rules.  The modern version of this game originated in England in the 12th century. The game became very popular at them time. So popular in fact that the kings at that time (Henry II and Henry IV) banned the game because they believed that it was taking interest away from the more traditional games of the time.

Football began to change and evolve into what it is today when rules were added and made the game into more of a game. The rules were added when it was picked up by seven major schools in England in the early 1800’s. Six of these seven schools took the game and it evolved into what is known today as soccer. The other school, Rugby School was playing a very different version of the game. This version of the game, running the ball was more common. This version of football also included 18ft goal posts with a horizontal bar 10ft off the ground. The purpose of this “goal post” is to make scoring easier and a goal could be scored from a distance. A player would either place kick or drop kick the ball and if the ball passed through the two vertical bars and over the horizontal bar it would be counted as a goal. This version also added the off-sides rules, the touchdown rule and the two point or one point conversion. This version of football became so popular through the 1860’s that many other schools and universities began to adopt this version of the game. It began so popular in fact the this version got the name of the school that had originally played it, Rugby.

Football (Rugby) came to America in the late 1860’s. The official birth day of many football historians is November 6, 1869 when the first official game played on American soil between Rutgers and Princeton Universities. When football first came to America it was played similar to the rugby version but over time rules were added to make the game more exciting and to ensure safety for the players. The game at the time was so brutal that many colleges began to ban the game. In 1905, President Theodor Roosevelt got together three colleges (Harvard, Princeton, and Yale) to help save the sport. At the meeting there three schools set up a reform. At a second meeting nearly 60 schools appointed a seven member Rules Committee and set up what later became known as the National Collegiate Athletics Association (NCAA.) This committee legalized the forward pass which led to the new design of the ball (the modern design that is used today) and a more open style of play on the field. The committee also made the game much safer by adding rules that made all the brutality that once injured many and killed 18 people illegal.

Football has a very large history compared to many other sports but I think that that is what makes the sport so interesting. It has changed and evolved over the years creating three different sports all together. It has changed the lives of many people around the world. That is why I believe that football is the best sport not just because of the modern American football because it has three forms that are completely different offering people a very different atmosphere with each sport.

28th Amendment


I believe that a 28th amendment should be added to the constitution.  I think that this amendment should deal with the issue of taxes and pay cuts of certain jobs in the United States. What I mean by this is I think that when the government decides for pay cuts they always pick on our soldiers or the older people in the country. I don’t think that this is right.

The men and women that are serving our country overseas fighting wars that most of the time have nothing to do with our country deserve to be paid it. They risk their life day after day to ensure that we keep our freedom. They shouldn’t have to give up part of their paycheck every time the government needs to save a little money.

They government also picks on the older people on social security. These people worked their entire lives supporting our economy and most probably worked harder than anyone to pull us out of the depression we were in back in the late 30’s. They paid a little part of their paycheck into social security time after time to ensure that they would have money to retire. Therefor that money is still theirs they worked for it. The government should not be taking that money to spend on other things it should all go to the people.

The 28th amendment should state: “The government shall not cut or lower the pay of any United States soldier or any elderly person on social security no matter what the cause.” “They may not heavily tax the citizens of the United States but instead use their six figure salary to make up for the money they need”
