In an interview with Press TV on Sunday, Professor James Henry Fetzer said, “The situation with Ebola is very strange indeed, because there are multiple indications that it’s some kind of fraud or hoax or scam being perpetrated on the American people.”

“There’s a new Ebola false-flag exposed, compilations of evidence [are] available on YouTube now,” he added.

A nurse who just returned from Sierra Leone has condemned the US government for a 21-day mandatory quarantine despite testing negative for the Ebola virus.

Kaci Hickox said in an article on Saturday that she was “made to feel like criminal,” after she was placed in quarantine at a New Jersey hospital upon her return from West Africa.

On Friday, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie and New York Governor Andrew Cuomo announced a new policy, which requires those who had contact with Ebola patients to go through mandatory isolation for three weeks.

“This is not a situation I would wish on anyone, and I am scared for those who will follow me,” Hickox wrote in the article.

Professor Fetzer stated that “the purported Ebola outbreak is being used to justify sending troops to Sierra Leone and other West African countries.”

“There’s nothing surprising here because America continues to use its military force abroad to advance the interests of private corporations and profit-making,” he added.

The Pentagon says it is planning a 3,600-strong force to fight the Ebola epidemic in West Africa. At the moment, there are over 500 active-duty US troops in Liberia and Senegal on the mission.

“There’s good reason to be skeptical about what’s going on here in the United States. And I am terribly troubled that they are trying to create a cause that is going to instill fear into the American people to justify imposing martial law here in the United States,” Fetzer said.

“I no longer believe in the United States’ government.  It has a terrible record when it comes to telling the truth on any serious subject,” he noted.

The Ebola epidemic has already killed 4,922 out of the 10,141 known cases in eight countries, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).

There is currently no known cure for Ebola, which is a form of hemorrhagic fever with diarrhea, vomiting and bleeding as its symptoms.

The Ebola virus spreads through direct contact with infected blood, feces or sweat. It can also be spread through sexual contact or the unprotected handling of contaminated corpses.

Recently, more experts have said that the Ebola virus is a genetically modified organism and was developed in US bio-warfare laboratories in West Africa.

In a recent interview, Dr. Francis Boyle of the University of Illinois said, “My opinion is that the origins of the current pandemic came out of the USA bio-warfare labs in West Africa.”

He added that the US has been “using West Africa as an offshore to circumvent the Convention on Biological Weapons and do bio-warfare work.”
