New Ebola Czar Absent from White House Ebola Strategy Meeting

By Eowyn @DrEowyn

This really inspires our confidence in Ron Klain, the newly-appointed “Ebola response coordinator” Ebola Czar — he didn’t even attend a White House strategy meeting on how to deal with the alleged Ebola epidemic. (See “Is Ebola pandemic a false flag?“)

Breitbart reports, Oct. 17, 2014, that an email blast from the White House listing the meeting’s participants did not include Klain, who was given the position earlier in the day. Here’s the list of the meeting’s participants:

  • Vice President Joe Biden
  • Chuck Hagel, Secretary of Defense
  • Sylvia Burwell, Secrety of Health and Human Services
  • Jeh Johnson, Secretary of Homeland Security
  • Denis McDonough, Chief of Staff
  • Shaun Donovan, Direct of the Office of Management and Budget
  • John Podesta, Counselor to the President
  • Susan Rice, National Security Advisor
  • General Martin Dempsey, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff
  • Samantha Power, Permanent U.S. Representative to the United Nations (she telecommuted)
  • Dr. John Holdren, Director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy
  • Dr. Thomas Frieden, Director of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention
  • Lisa Monaco, Assistant to the President for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism
  • Rajiv Shah, Administrator to the U.S. Agency for International Development
  • Nancy Powell, State Department Ebola Coordinator
  • Katie Beirne Fallon, Director of the Office of Legislative Affairs
  • Jennifer Palmieri, Director of Communications
  • Joshua Earnest, Press Secretary
  • Suzanne George, Executive Secretary and Chief of Staff of the National Security Council
  • Brian Egan, National Security Council Legal Advisor
  • Rand Beers, Deputy Assistant to the President of Homeland Security

Klain can claim an illustrious [sarc] record of accomplishments, including:

  • Being a former chief of staff to VPOS Joe Biden.
  • Signing off on President Ebola’s support of a $535 million loan guarantee for now-defunct solar-panel company Solyndra, and advising the POS to visit Solyndra in 2011, despite an auditor raising red flags about the company’s finances. (See “Crony Capitalism: Obama’s $535M Loan to Now Bankrupt Solyndra“)
  • And then, of course, there’s the fact that Klain does not have a medical or a health care background. Zero. Zilch. Nada.

No wonder Wikipedia’s entry on Klain begins by identifying him as “an American lawyer and political operative.”
