But according to one Citizen, the Lynch Fever outbreak in the Goss System was not an accident. It was a carefully crafted clinical trial. If true, could this be the first step in the government\u2019s plan to use Lynch Fever as biological weapon?\n\nNow all of you questioning why the government would ever want to use Lynch Fever as a biological weapon, let\u2019s take one minute to think about it. Imagine a planet on the verge of enlightenment and revolution, looking to shed the yoke of its Imperialistic overlords. Then imagine if a third or even half of that population suddenly got sick. Within a matter of days the number of people at rallies dwindle and the revolutionary fervor dissipates as the literal fever spreads. Suddenly, the government has justification to come in and shut off that planet from the rest of the Empire. And that is just one possible scenario.\n\nIt may sound crazy, but the reality is that it took just days for the Empire to block common Citizens or civilians from entering or leaving the Goss System. Those stuck in the system were told to stay indoors. People who went out into public areas were closely monitored. But the worst fate fell on those who were quarantined. Innocent people were captured and were held for up to twenty-one days with no due process. That is just what happened to one Khaleda McQuaid.\n\nShe joins us today to tell the harrowing tale of what happened to her while in the so-called \u201cprotective\u201d custody of our very own government, and why she believes the most recent Lynch Fever outbreak is not as accidental as we have been lead to believe.\n\nThank you for being here, Khaleda. Your commitment to the truth is inspiring.\n\nKhaleda McQuaid: I needed to let others know what happened. You were the only one who would listen.\n\nA far too frequent occurrence because many of my fellow news media siblings are the lapdogs of the UEE itself. Now, please, tell us the truth of what happened.\n\nKhaleda McQuaid: Well, I work at the Meridian Transit landing zone on Lyre and about a day after the reports of people getting sick started, I came into work to find these giants tents had sprouted up overnight. Before I knew what was happening they had rounded all of us up.\n\nSo you were forced into quarantine, correct?\n\nKhaleda McQuaid: Let\u2019s just say I definitely wasn\u2019t given a choice. I showed up for my shift, walked into the break room and two meds in protective gear snagged me.\n\nHad you been exposed to the infection at all? Were you exhibiting any symptoms of Lynch Fever at the time?\n\nKhaleda McQuaid: Nope, I had no symptoms and I kept telling them I didn\u2019t work people pushers.\n\nI\u2019m sorry, I think that may be a term not everyone is familiar with.\n\nKhaleda McQuaid: \u201cPeople pushers,\u201d the big starliner passenger ships. Everyone kept claiming the outbreak came from one of those, but I deal with cargo only. The guys in suits even gave me a quick once over and said everything was fine. Everybody was. I didn\u2019t know a single person who was sick that first day. So, what was the point of keeping me around? I\u2019ve got a family to look after. Who the hell was going to watch my daughter?\n\nAnd they still didn\u2019t let any of you go?\n\nKhaleda McQuaid: They said we had to stay until incubation time or something was up.\n\nNow Khaleda, this all sounds horrible and a huge inconvenience, but let\u2019s be fair here, isn\u2019t all of this pretty standard for a quarantine? Isn\u2019t, as the government claimed, a little inconvenience worth the health of thousands of people?\n\nKhaleda McQuaid: I would say yes if that\u2019s what these quarantines were for.\n\nCan you explain what you mean?\n\nKhaleda McQuaid: Not a single person was sick, but they started giving some of us what they claimed was medicine. Every day. They said it was supposed to boost the immune system or something. It wasn\u2019t until they started injecting us that people started dying. Sometimes I\u2019d wake up and the person in the cot next to me would just be gone. It was scary. Every day people vanished from our tent. Folks would go get their daily check-up and never come back. They sure as hell looked fine when they went in there.\n\nBut you didn\u2019t get sick?\n\nKhaleda McQuaid: I realized pretty quick that only the people getting the shots were the ones getting sick. Not only that, but almost all the people who were getting shots were Citizens like me. If it really had been medicine, why wasn\u2019t everyone getting it? It all suddenly clicked into place. They knew that I had voted against the Imperator in the last election and were using Lynch Fever as an excuse to kill me.\n\nIf the government was trying to kill you, then why aren\u2019t you dead?\n\nKhaleda McQuaid: I knew that if I told the truth they wouldn\u2019t be able to. It would look too suspicious. That\u2019s when I started sending comms to the press. Most of them ignored me, and some replied that the people were getting sick in quarantine because they were already sick, but you listened. You listened and that was enough to save my life. I want everyone out there to know what a hero you are and how important the work is that you do.\n\nPlease, you and Citizens like you are the real heroes. It took a lot of courage for you to come forward and speak.\n\nWe have to take a quick break, Khaleda, but when we come back I want you to share your final days in quarantine. And then, noted epidemiologist Professor Topher Mullen will walk us through some other outbreaks and we will look at which ones may have also been caused by agents of the government. Keep it here for that and more on Plain Truth.\n\nTRANSCRIPT BREAK","de_DE":"Es gibt diejenigen, die Credits suchen, und diejenigen, die Macht suchen, aber mein Name ist Parker Terrell und diese Show handelt in der einzigen W\u00e4hrung, die einen Dreck wert ist - der klaren Wahrheit.\n\nDie Unwissenden und die mit den Imperialisten Verb\u00fcndeten haben die Quarant\u00e4ne des Goss-Systems als Erfolg bezeichnet. Aber laut einem B\u00fcrger war der Ausbruch des Lynchfiebers im Goss-System kein Unfall. Es handelte sich um eine sorgf\u00e4ltig ausgearbeitete klinische Studie. Wenn das stimmt, k\u00f6nnte dies der erste Schritt im Plan der Regierung sein, das Lynchfieber als biologische Waffe einzusetzen?\n\nJetzt fragt sich jeder von euch, warum die Regierung jemals Lynchfieber als biologische Waffe einsetzen will, lasst uns eine Minute dar\u00fcber nachdenken. Stellen Sie sich einen Planeten vor, der am Rande von Erleuchtung und Revolution steht und versucht, das Joch seiner imperialistischen Oberherren zu verlieren. Dann stell dir vor, wenn ein Drittel oder sogar die H\u00e4lfte dieser Bev\u00f6lkerung pl\u00f6tzlich krank wird. Innerhalb weniger Tage nimmt die Zahl der Teilnehmer an Kundgebungen ab und die revolution\u00e4re Leidenschaft verfl\u00fcchtigt sich mit zunehmendem buchst\u00e4blichen Fieber. Pl\u00f6tzlich hat die Regierung die Rechtfertigung, hereinzukommen und diesen Planeten vom Rest des Imperiums auszuschlie\u00dfen. Und das ist nur ein m\u00f6gliches Szenario.\n\nEs mag verr\u00fcckt klingen, aber die Realit\u00e4t ist, dass es nur wenige Tage gedauert hat, bis das Imperium normale B\u00fcrger oder Zivilisten daran gehindert hat, in das Goss-System einzudringen oder es zu verlassen. Denjenigen, die im System festsa\u00dfen, wurde gesagt, sie sollten sich im Haus aufhalten. Personen, die in \u00f6ffentliche Bereiche gingen, wurden genau \u00fcberwacht. Aber das schlimmste Schicksal ereilte diejenigen, die unter Quarant\u00e4ne gestellt wurden. Unschuldige Personen wurden gefangen genommen und bis zu 21 Tage lang ohne ordentliches Verfahren festgehalten. Genau das ist mit einem Khaleda McQuaid passiert.\n\nSie schlie\u00dft sich uns heute an, um die ersch\u00fctternde Geschichte zu erz\u00e4hlen, was mit ihr passiert ist, w\u00e4hrend sie sich in der so genannten \"sch\u00fctzenden\" Haft unserer eigenen Regierung befindet, und warum sie glaubt, dass der j\u00fcngste Ausbruch des Lynchfiebers nicht so zuf\u00e4llig ist, wie wir glauben sollten.\n\nDanke, dass Ihr hier seid, Khaleda. Dein Engagement f\u00fcr die Wahrheit ist inspirierend.\n\nKhaleda McQuaid: Ich musste andere wissen lassen, was passiert war. Du warst die Einzige, die zuh\u00f6ren wollte.\n\nEin viel zu h\u00e4ufiges Ph\u00e4nomen, denn viele meiner Mitgeschwister in den Nachrichtenmedien sind die Scho\u00dfhunde der UEE selbst. Nun, bitte, sag uns die Wahrheit dar\u00fcber, was passiert ist.\n\nKhaleda McQuaid: Nun, ich arbeite in der Landezone Meridian Transit auf Lyre und etwa einen Tag nach den Berichten \u00fcber krank werdende Menschen kam ich zur Arbeit, um festzustellen, dass diese Riesenzelte \u00fcber Nacht aufgekeimt waren. Bevor ich wusste, was los war, hatten sie uns alle zusammengetrieben.\n\nSie wurden also in die Quarant\u00e4ne gezwungen, richtig?\n\nKhaleda McQuaid: Sagen wir einfach, ich hatte definitiv keine Wahl. Ich tauchte f\u00fcr meine Schicht auf, ging in den Pausenraum und zwei Medikamente in Schutzausr\u00fcstung schnappten mich.\n\nWarst du \u00fcberhaupt der Infektion ausgesetzt gewesen? Haben Sie zu diesem Zeitpunkt irgendwelche Symptome des Lynchfiebers gezeigt?\n\nKhaleda McQuaid: Nein, ich hatte keine Symptome und ich sagte ihnen immer wieder, dass ich keine Dealer arbeite.\n\nEs tut mir leid, ich denke, das ist ein Begriff, den nicht jeder kennt.\n\nKhaleda McQuaid: \"People Pushers\", die gro\u00dfen Starliner-Passagierschiffe. Alle behaupteten immer wieder, der Ausbruch stamme von einem dieser Tiere, aber ich besch\u00e4ftige mich nur mit Fracht. Die Jungs in Anz\u00fcgen gaben mir sogar einmal eine schnelle Antwort und sagten, alles sei in Ordnung. Alle waren es. Ich kannte keine einzige Person, die am ersten Tag krank war. Also, was war der Sinn darin, mich in der N\u00e4he zu behalten? Ich habe eine Familie, um die ich mich k\u00fcmmern muss. Wer zum Teufel sollte auf meine Tochter aufpassen?\n\nUnd sie haben immer noch keinen von euch gehen lassen?\n\nKhaleda McQuaid: Sie sagten, wir m\u00fcssten bis zur Inkubationszeit bleiben oder so.\n\nNun Khaleda, das klingt alles schrecklich und eine riesige Unannehmlichkeit, aber seien wir ehrlich, ist das nicht alles ein ziemlich guter Standard f\u00fcr eine Quarant\u00e4ne? Ist nicht, wie die Regierung behauptete, eine kleine Unannehmlichkeit die Gesundheit von Tausenden von Menschen wert?\n\nKhaleda McQuaid: Ich w\u00fcrde ja sagen, wenn es das ist, wof\u00fcr diese Quarant\u00e4ne gedacht ist.\n\nKannst du erkl\u00e4ren, was du meinst?\n\nKhaleda McQuaid: Nicht eine einzige Person war krank, aber sie fing an, einigen von uns das zu geben, was sie als Medizin bezeichneten. Jeden Tag. Sie sagten, es sollte das Immunsystem st\u00e4rken oder so. Erst als sie anfingen, uns etwas zu injizieren, begannen die Menschen zu sterben. Manchmal wachte ich auf und die Person im Kinderbett neben mir war einfach weg. Es war be\u00e4ngstigend. Jeden Tag verschwanden Menschen aus unserem Zelt. Die Leute w\u00fcrden sich t\u00e4glich untersuchen lassen und nie wiederkommen. Sie sahen verdammt gut aus, als sie da reingegangen sind.\n\nAber du bist nicht krank geworden?\n\nKhaleda McQuaid: Ich erkannte ziemlich schnell, dass nur die Leute, die die Sch\u00fcsse erhielten, diejenigen waren, die krank wurden. Nicht nur das, sondern fast alle Leute, die Sch\u00fcsse bekamen, waren B\u00fcrger wie ich. Wenn es wirklich Medizin gewesen w\u00e4re, warum haben es dann nicht alle bekommen? Es klickte pl\u00f6tzlich alles an seinen Platz. Sie wussten, dass ich bei der letzten Wahl gegen den Imperator gestimmt hatte und benutzten Lynchfieber als Ausrede, um mich zu t\u00f6ten.\n\nWenn die Regierung versucht hat, dich zu t\u00f6ten, warum bist du dann nicht tot?\n\nKhaleda McQuaid: Ich wusste, dass sie nicht in der Lage sein w\u00fcrden, wenn ich die Wahrheit sagen w\u00fcrde. Es w\u00fcrde zu verd\u00e4chtig aussehen. Das war der Zeitpunkt, an dem ich anfing, Kommentare an die Presse zu senden. Die meisten von ihnen ignorierten mich, und einige antworteten, dass die Leute in Quarant\u00e4ne krank wurden, weil sie bereits krank waren, aber du hast zugeh\u00f6rt. Du hast zugeh\u00f6rt und das war genug, um mein Leben zu retten. Ich m\u00f6chte, dass jeder da drau\u00dfen wei\u00df, was f\u00fcr ein Held du bist und wie wichtig die Arbeit ist, die du machst.\n\nBitte, du und B\u00fcrger wie du seid die wahren Helden. Es hat viel Mut erfordert, dass du vortrittst und sprichst.\n\nWir m\u00fcssen eine kurze Pause einlegen, Khaleda, aber wenn wir zur\u00fcckkommen, m\u00f6chte ich, dass du deine letzten Tage in Quarant\u00e4ne teilst. Und dann wird uns der bekannte Epidemiologe Professor Topher Mullen durch einige andere Ausbr\u00fcche f\u00fchren, und wir werden uns ansehen, welche auch von Agenten der Regierung verursacht worden sein k\u00f6nnten. Bewahren Sie es hier f\u00fcr das und mehr auf PLAIN TRUTH.\n\nTRANSKRIPTUMBRUCH","zh_CN":"There are those who seek Credits, and those who seek power, but my name is Parker Terrell and this show deals in the only currency worth a damn \u2014 the Plain Truth.\n\nThe uninformed and those allied with the Imperialists have called the quarantine of the Goss System a success.
