Plain Truth: Clinical Trial
Undefined Undefined News UpdateContent
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 — the Plain Truth.
The uninformed and those allied with the Imperialists have called the quarantine of the Goss System a success. 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’s plan to use Lynch Fever as biological weapon?
Now all of you questioning why the government would ever want to use Lynch Fever as a biological weapon, let’s 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.
It 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.
She joins us today to tell the harrowing tale of what happened to her while in the so-called “protective” 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.
Thank you for being here, Khaleda. Your commitment to the truth is inspiring.
Khaleda McQuaid: I needed to let others know what happened. You were the only one who would listen.
A 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.
Khaleda 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.
So you were forced into quarantine, correct?
Khaleda McQuaid: Let’s just say I definitely wasn’t given a choice. I showed up for my shift, walked into the break room and two meds in protective gear snagged me.
Had you been exposed to the infection at all? Were you exhibiting any symptoms of Lynch Fever at the time?
Khaleda McQuaid: Nope, I had no symptoms and I kept telling them I didn’t work people pushers.
I’m sorry, I think that may be a term not everyone is familiar with.
Khaleda McQuaid: “People pushers,” 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’t know a single person who was sick that first day. So, what was the point of keeping me around? I’ve got a family to look after. Who the hell was going to watch my daughter?
And they still didn’t let any of you go?
Khaleda McQuaid: They said we had to stay until incubation time or something was up.
Now Khaleda, this all sounds horrible and a huge inconvenience, but let’s be fair here, isn’t all of this pretty standard for a quarantine? Isn’t, as the government claimed, a little inconvenience worth the health of thousands of people?
Khaleda McQuaid: I would say yes if that’s what these quarantines were for.
Can you explain what you mean?
Khaleda 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’t until they started injecting us that people started dying. Sometimes I’d 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.
But you didn’t get sick?
Khaleda 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’t 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.
If the government was trying to kill you, then why aren’t you dead?
Khaleda McQuaid: I knew that if I told the truth they wouldn’t be able to. It would look too suspicious. That’s 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.
Please, you and Citizens like you are the real heroes. It took a lot of courage for you to come forward and speak.
We 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.

TRANSCRIPT BREAK
Es gibt diejenigen, die Credits suchen, und diejenigen, die Macht suchen, aber mein Name ist Parker Terrell und diese Show handelt in der einzigen Währung, die einen Dreck wert ist - der klaren Wahrheit.
Die Unwissenden und die mit den Imperialisten Verbündeten haben die Quarantäne des Goss-Systems als Erfolg bezeichnet. Aber laut einem Bürger war der Ausbruch des Lynchfiebers im Goss-System kein Unfall. Es handelte sich um eine sorgfältig ausgearbeitete klinische Studie. Wenn das stimmt, könnte dies der erste Schritt im Plan der Regierung sein, das Lynchfieber als biologische Waffe einzusetzen?
Jetzt fragt sich jeder von euch, warum die Regierung jemals Lynchfieber als biologische Waffe einsetzen will, lasst uns eine Minute darüber 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 Hälfte dieser Bevölkerung plötzlich krank wird. Innerhalb weniger Tage nimmt die Zahl der Teilnehmer an Kundgebungen ab und die revolutionäre Leidenschaft verflüchtigt sich mit zunehmendem buchstäblichen Fieber. Plötzlich hat die Regierung die Rechtfertigung, hereinzukommen und diesen Planeten vom Rest des Imperiums auszuschließen. Und das ist nur ein mögliches Szenario.
Es mag verrückt klingen, aber die Realität ist, dass es nur wenige Tage gedauert hat, bis das Imperium normale Bürger oder Zivilisten daran gehindert hat, in das Goss-System einzudringen oder es zu verlassen. Denjenigen, die im System festsaßen, wurde gesagt, sie sollten sich im Haus aufhalten. Personen, die in öffentliche Bereiche gingen, wurden genau überwacht. Aber das schlimmste Schicksal ereilte diejenigen, die unter Quarantäne 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.
Sie schließt sich uns heute an, um die erschütternde Geschichte zu erzählen, was mit ihr passiert ist, während sie sich in der so genannten "schützenden" Haft unserer eigenen Regierung befindet, und warum sie glaubt, dass der jüngste Ausbruch des Lynchfiebers nicht so zufällig ist, wie wir glauben sollten.
Danke, dass Ihr hier seid, Khaleda. Dein Engagement für die Wahrheit ist inspirierend.
Khaleda McQuaid: Ich musste andere wissen lassen, was passiert war. Du warst die Einzige, die zuhören wollte.
Ein viel zu häufiges Phänomen, denn viele meiner Mitgeschwister in den Nachrichtenmedien sind die Schoßhunde der UEE selbst. Nun, bitte, sag uns die Wahrheit darüber, was passiert ist.
Khaleda McQuaid: Nun, ich arbeite in der Landezone Meridian Transit auf Lyre und etwa einen Tag nach den Berichten über krank werdende Menschen kam ich zur Arbeit, um festzustellen, dass diese Riesenzelte über Nacht aufgekeimt waren. Bevor ich wusste, was los war, hatten sie uns alle zusammengetrieben.
Sie wurden also in die Quarantäne gezwungen, richtig?
Khaleda McQuaid: Sagen wir einfach, ich hatte definitiv keine Wahl. Ich tauchte für meine Schicht auf, ging in den Pausenraum und zwei Medikamente in Schutzausrüstung schnappten mich.
Warst du überhaupt der Infektion ausgesetzt gewesen? Haben Sie zu diesem Zeitpunkt irgendwelche Symptome des Lynchfiebers gezeigt?
Khaleda McQuaid: Nein, ich hatte keine Symptome und ich sagte ihnen immer wieder, dass ich keine Dealer arbeite.
Es tut mir leid, ich denke, das ist ein Begriff, den nicht jeder kennt.
Khaleda McQuaid: "People Pushers", die großen Starliner-Passagierschiffe. Alle behaupteten immer wieder, der Ausbruch stamme von einem dieser Tiere, aber ich beschäftige mich nur mit Fracht. Die Jungs in Anzügen 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 Nähe zu behalten? Ich habe eine Familie, um die ich mich kümmern muss. Wer zum Teufel sollte auf meine Tochter aufpassen?
Und sie haben immer noch keinen von euch gehen lassen?
Khaleda McQuaid: Sie sagten, wir müssten bis zur Inkubationszeit bleiben oder so.
Nun Khaleda, das klingt alles schrecklich und eine riesige Unannehmlichkeit, aber seien wir ehrlich, ist das nicht alles ein ziemlich guter Standard für eine Quarantäne? Ist nicht, wie die Regierung behauptete, eine kleine Unannehmlichkeit die Gesundheit von Tausenden von Menschen wert?
Khaleda McQuaid: Ich würde ja sagen, wenn es das ist, wofür diese Quarantäne gedacht ist.
Kannst du erklären, was du meinst?
Khaleda 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 stärken 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 beängstigend. Jeden Tag verschwanden Menschen aus unserem Zelt. Die Leute würden sich täglich untersuchen lassen und nie wiederkommen. Sie sahen verdammt gut aus, als sie da reingegangen sind.
Aber du bist nicht krank geworden?
Khaleda McQuaid: Ich erkannte ziemlich schnell, dass nur die Leute, die die Schüsse erhielten, diejenigen waren, die krank wurden. Nicht nur das, sondern fast alle Leute, die Schüsse bekamen, waren Bürger wie ich. Wenn es wirklich Medizin gewesen wäre, warum haben es dann nicht alle bekommen? Es klickte plötzlich 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 töten.
Wenn die Regierung versucht hat, dich zu töten, warum bist du dann nicht tot?
Khaleda McQuaid: Ich wusste, dass sie nicht in der Lage sein würden, wenn ich die Wahrheit sagen würde. Es würde zu verdächtig 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 Quarantäne krank wurden, weil sie bereits krank waren, aber du hast zugehört. Du hast zugehört und das war genug, um mein Leben zu retten. Ich möchte, dass jeder da draußen weiß, was für ein Held du bist und wie wichtig die Arbeit ist, die du machst.
Bitte, du und Bürger wie du seid die wahren Helden. Es hat viel Mut erfordert, dass du vortrittst und sprichst.
Wir müssen eine kurze Pause einlegen, Khaleda, aber wenn wir zurückkommen, möchte ich, dass du deine letzten Tage in Quarantäne teilst. Und dann wird uns der bekannte Epidemiologe Professor Topher Mullen durch einige andere Ausbrüche führen, und wir werden uns ansehen, welche auch von Agenten der Regierung verursacht worden sein könnten. Bewahren Sie es hier für das und mehr auf PLAIN TRUTH.

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.
It 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.

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.
But you didn’t get sick?
Khaleda 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’t 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.
If the government was trying to kill you, then why aren’t you dead?
Khaleda McQuaid: I knew that if I told the truth they wouldn’t be able to. It would look too suspicious. That’s 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.
Please, you and Citizens like you are the real heroes. It took a lot of courage for you to come forward and speak.
We 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.
