Ebola blood samples stolen in Guinea; this is how terrorists can easily acquire the bioweapon
One of the chief concerns about the Ebola virus is that, someday, it could be turned into a deadly bioweapon and used to kill tens of millions of people around the world. So far — at least publicly — no country has admitted to having successfully “weaponized” the virus, even though bioweapons have been used for centuries and modern governments (and terrorist groups) are still believed to be developing them.

False Flag warning NYC: Full-scale ‘Ebola’ pandemic drill to go live Nov. 13
