When inspiration does not come, I go for a
walk, go to the movies, talk to a friend, let
go… The muse is bound to return again,
especially if I turn my back!
~Judy Collins
People watch movies for a lot of different
reasons. Some watch for escapism—to leave
their everyday lives and experience the
exotic, exciting lands that are in the movies
they watch. Some watch movies to be
thrilled or even scared, They watch action
movies and horror movies to get the blood
pumping. I watch movies for another
reason—to be inspired. I love inspirational
speeches. When I come out of a movie, I
want to feel like I can conquer the world,
that everything is possible, and that good
will win out in the end.
Inspirational Movie Speeches
I have racked up twenty movies that are on
my list to watch over and over again, at least
for the inspirational speeches in them.
Ready to be inspired? In no particular order,
here we go:
1. Independence Day (1996) – President
Whitmore Speech

4. Network (1976) – Mad as Hell
Fired TV broadcaster Howard Beale pleads
with people not to believe what they see on
TV and not to feel powerless against the
political and media forces of the world. For a
film that is thirty-seven years old, it still hits a
lot of the issues that are relevant today.
5. Peaceful Warrior (2006) – Take Out the
Trash
The centuries old teacher Socrates teaches
Dan about taking out the trash. “The trash is
anything that is keeping you from the only
thing that matters… this moment, here and
now.”
6. Rocky (1976) – It Ain’t How Hard You Hit
Rocky gives his grown up son a heart to
heart on stop blaming others and taking

from a father to a son about taking
responsibility.

inside of yourself and finding what is your

hectic and crazy. .

modern age.

Boy Needs to Know

Walter about what it takes to be a man. He

STORY HIGHLIGHTS
A "close contact" of the nurse is
being monitored, says CDC
The worker helped care for an
Ebola patient multiple times, CDC
director says
He says there was a breach in
protocol and his agency is
investigating
Nurse was wearing protective gear
when she helped care for Thomas
Eric Duncan
(CNN) -- The deadly Ebola virus has
been contracted by someone inside
the United States for the first time.
A nurse who had worn protective gear
during her "extensive contact" at a
Dallas hospital with an Ebola patient
who died tested positive during a
preliminary blood test, officials said
Sunday.
The woman had on a gown, gloves,
mask and a shield during her
multiple visits with Thomas Eric
Duncan, but there was a breach in
protocol, health officials said.
The patient is a nurse at Texas Health
Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas, an
official who is familiar with the case
told CNN.
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention in Atlanta conducted
testing on the blood sample, and
confirmed the results Sunday,
marking the first known transmission
of Ebola in the United States and the
second diagnosis in the country. She was involved in Duncan's care
after he was placed in isolation -- his
second trip to the hospital after
coming to the United States from
Liberia -- said Dr. Tom Frieden, the
director of the CDC.
The nurse is in stable condition,
Texas Health Resources chief clinical
officer Dan Varga said. Duncan, the
first person to be diagnosed with
Ebola in the United States, died
Wednesday.
What's a hospital supposed to do if
an Ebola patient shows up?
The nurse had "extensive contact" on
"multiple occasions" with Duncan,
Frieden said.
"At some point, there was a breach
in protocol, and that breach in
protocol resulted in this infection,"
he said at a news conference Sunday.
"The (Ebola treatment) protocols
work. ... But we know that even a
single lapse or breach can result in
infection."
Also, Varga said that someone who is
a "close contact" of the nurse has
been "proactively" placed in
isolation.
The hazardous materials unit of the
Dallas Fire Department has cleaned
up and decontaminated the public
areas of the health worker's
apartment complex, Mayor Mike
Rawlings said. Police are keeping
people out of the area and are
talking to residents nearby.
"We have knocked on every door on
that block," the mayor said.
Hazardous materials units have also
cleaned out the nurse's car and will
work on her apartment Sunday.
"This development is understandably
disturbing news for the patient, the
patient's family and colleagues and
the greater Dallas community," the
CDC said in a statement, announcing
the nurse's test results.
It sought to play down a wider risk.
"The CDC and the Texas Department
of State Health Services remain
confident that wider spread in the
community can be prevented with
proper public health measures,
including ongoing contact tracing,
health monitoring among those
known to have been in contact with
the index patient, and immediate
isolations if symptoms develop," the
CDC said.
Complete coverage on the Ebola
outbreak
Case was anticipated
"We knew a second case could be a
reality, and we've been preparing for
this possibility," Dr. David Lakey,
commissioner of the Texas
Department of State Health Services,
said in a statement Sunday morning.
"We are broadening our team in
Dallas and working with extreme
diligence to prevent further spread."
The nurse reported a low-grade fever
Friday night and was isolated, the
health department said. The
preliminary test result came in late
Saturday.
President Barack Obama received two
briefings Sunday on the second Dallas
Ebola case, including one from
Health and Human Services Secretary
Sylvia Burwell. According to a White
House statement, the President
wants federal authorities to
immediately take further measures to
ensure health care professionals are
able to follow protocols for treating
Ebola patients.
'A sign the system is working'
The news that a health care worker
might have the disease is not
completely unexpected, an infectious
disease specialist told CNN's "New
Day."
"I think we've always expected that
there may be another individual who
will come down with the Ebola from
the transmission of this one
particular person, and we always felt
that it was going to likely be one of
his close contacts or one of the
health care workers, because that's
the way this virus works," Dr. Frank
Esper said.
For Ebola caregivers, enormous fear,
risk and bravery
Esper said Texas officials have been
keeping a close eye on people who
had contact with Duncan.
"I will tell you that the fact that we
identified this individual so quickly is
actually to me a sign that the system
is working," he added.
Globally, the disease has wrought
catastrophic consequences.
The World Health Organization
estimates more than 8,300 people
have contracted Ebola during this
year's outbreak. Of those, more than
4,000 have died.
Ebola not very contagious
Ebola is actually difficult to catch.
People are at risk if they come into
very close contact with the blood,
saliva, sweat, feces, semen, vomit or
soiled clothing of an Ebola patient, or
if they travel to affected areas in
West Africa and come into contact
with someone who has Ebola.
Those stricken with Ebola suffer
ghastly symptoms, including
vomiting, diarrhea, muscle pain, fever
and internal bleeding.
Three countries -- Sierra Leone,
Guinea and Liberia -- have been
hardest hit. And many of those who
care for the ill have also come down
with the disease.
The World Health Organization
estimates at least 416 health care
workers have contracted Ebola, and
at least 233 have died.
In Liberia, health care workers are
threatening to strike if their work
conditions don't improve.
The first infection outside of Africa
happened in a nurse's aide in Spain,
Teresa Romero Ramos . She became
sick after she helped treat an Ebola-
stricken Spanish missionary.
Her case has prompted questions
from fellow medical professionals
about whether they are properly
equipped to safely treat Ebola
patients.
Spanish Ebola patient's condition
worsens, doctor says
Another search begins
For weeks, health officials have been
monitoring those who had contact
with Duncan before he was
hospitalized and isolated.
Duncan left Liberia on September 19
and arrived in Dallas on September
20. Four days later, he began feeling
ill; the following night, he went to
Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital.
But despite telling a hospital worker
that he had arrived from Liberia,
Duncan was sent home with
antibiotics. He returned a few days
later and tested positive for Ebola.
And now, the search begins for all
the contacts whom the nurse came in
contact with.
"We need a whole new crew of
people to do contact tracing," said
Elizabeth Cohen, CNN senior medical
correspondent.
Because Ebola's incubation period
can last up to 21 days, the health
nurse's contacts will have to be
monitored for three weeks.
The Texas health department said
officials have interviewed the patient
and are identifying any contacts or
potential exposures.
"This is not an easy thing," Cohen
said. "Keeping track of large numbers
of people, taking their temperature
twice a day, making sure they
don't ... leave town, all of that is a
lot of work."

October 2014
God loves Nigeria so much. For those
that doubt it kindly consider the
following.
They created Ebola in their demonic
labs for bio weapons. They sent the
disease to our shores through an
insane Liberian but the Lord
defended us and refused to allow it
to take root in our shores.
The watchers prayed “return to
sender” and Ebola was sent back to
Houston through another insane
Liberian. Now they seek to learn
lessons from the Nigeria that they
targetted and sought to destroy about
how to “contain Ebola”.
God loves Nigeria so much. Why?
Because, as the bible says, ”He uses
the foolish things of this world to
confound the wisdom of the wise”.
For those that still doubt it kindly
consider the following.
They refused to label Boko Haram a
terrorist organisation until all men of
goodwill begged them to do so and
until the terrorists had slaughtered
no less than 25,000 Nigerians,
including innocent children whilst
abducting thousands more.
They refused to sell us arms to fight
the Haramites and when we
approached other nations to do so
they directed them to say ”no” and
turn us down.
Yet God was with us, we sourced
those arms ourselves and ever since
then the tide has turned and our
gallant soldiers are winning the war
against Boko Haram.
Can all this be just coincidence? Do
these so-called friends and allies of
our nation really wish us well?
I read the response of the American
Ambassador to Nigeria about our
concerns about the US arms embargo
on Nigeria. He spoke nothing but
nonsensical popycock and bunkum.
What on earth have we done to them
that they seek to bring us to our
knees and decimate our country with
terror, torment, violent brutality and
disease?
Why have they visited us with so
much covert hate despite our
obnoxious fawning and desperate
crawling before their superpower
thrones for the last 100 years?
Have we not played the fool enough
for them and have we not bowed low
enough to them on bended knee for
the last 54 years?
Yet despite all our efforts to please
our international partners and
modern-day slave masters they seek
to effect their prophecy that chaos
must envelop Nigeria and that our
country must break up by 2015.
They seek to ensure that we are
enveloped in a sea of carnage and
fratricidal butchery the likes of which
have never been seen before on the
African continent or indeed in world
history.
In the light of all these observations,
numerous questions must be asked?
Who is really behind Boko Haram
and how come they have more
sophisticated arms than the Nigerian
military?
Who supplies them with those arms
and all that training? Is it the same
forces that covertly trained, armed
and supplied ISIS, Al Nusra and
Daesh?
Is it the same powers that used
those barbaric terrorist organisations
in Syria to attempt to topple
President Bashar Al Assad and in Iraq
to push Nouri Al Malaki out of
power?
Is it the same forces that unleashed
mayhem and created turmoil in the
Ukraine and that sought to plunge
Europe and Russia into a bloody war?
Is it the same forces that created Al
Qaeda and commissioned Osama Bin
Ladin to push the Soviets out of
Afghanistan? Is it the same people
that seek to use Boko Haram to
decimate our country, destroy our
people and bring our government to
it’s knees?
It is very clear to me that NATO will
deploy ground troops to Iraq and
Syria relatively soon. This was the
plan all along. The long-term
objective is not just to destroy and
defeat ISIL but also to remove Bashar
Al Assad from power in Syria.
As a matter of fact the latter has
always been the primary objective
and America, Turkey, Saudi Arabia,
Qatar and a handful of others in the
Arab Gulf states supported and
funded ISIS, Al Nusra, Daesh and a
number of other terrorist groups
specifically for that purpose for a
number of years.
The sheer evil and horror of ISIS has
provided a useful pretext and
justification for a full-scale invasion
of Syria and Iraq by the western
powers and their sunni Arab allies.
That invasion, which will be clothed
in the name of ”liberation”, will come
soon. Bashar Al Assad, Syria, Russia,
Iran, China and their secularist allies
in the region need to brace up and
prepare for the worst. This is indeed
a rhapsody of reality.
Yet, whoever unleashed these forces
and whatever their evil intentions for
Nigeria are, one thing is clear:
despite all our complexities, self-
hate, self-doubt, ignorance, naivety,
eccentricities and innocent trusting
ways, God loves us dearly and we
shall not go the way of Iraq, Syria or
Libya.
After all this is the land of the
Ameyo Adadevoh’s and other brave
souls. This is the land where the
watchers pray through the night and
stand in the gap for their beloved
nation and their compatriots
regardless of faith, tribe or creed.
This is the land where, though we
pretend to hate one another and we
bicker morning, night and day, we
know the meaning of the word
patriotism, honor, dedication,
resilience, ruggedness and love.
This is the land whose people know
how to worship and praise the one
true God and who call on His name
night and day.
The earthly powers that be and the
emissaries of the devil, no matter
how powerful, how rich and how
connected will never destroy us and
neither shall the counsel of satan
prevail in our land.
Each time they throw a bomb at us,
like Ebola, it shall ”return to sender”.
Each time they refuse to sell us arms
to enable us to defend our people
and redeem our honour the Lord
shall raise others who shall do it in
their stead.
The bottom line is as follows: you
may hate us and seek to shame and
humiliate us but God loves Nigeria
and His purpose for our nation,
whether you like it or not, shall
surely come to pass.
God bless Nigeria and may He
continue to deliver us from our
enemies, preserve our unity, defend
our shores and protect our borders.
