Hurricanes, Earthquakes and the Dreaded Zika Virus in Costa Rica.

We had a handful of VIP Members who recently cancelled their trips to Costa Rica because the “first documented case of Zika virus” was “detected in a 25-year-old man who contracted the virus while visiting Colombia…”

And on 1st February 2016 it was reported that a “tourist from the United States fell ill with the Zika virus after visiting Costa Rica, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC)”

A few years ago, we saw people cancelling their trips to Costa Rica because we experienced a major 7.6 earthquake deep in the Pacific ocean off the coast and two people died of.., heart attacks!

I should apologize to all of our VIP Members because I would have preferred to have warned you ahead of time however, but nobody had given me the times and date as to when we should expect it so I forgot to include it in my newsletter…

¡Perdoname!

But it got me thinking … again.

What day and time are we going to have the “Big One” in California that they’ve been talking about for years? Has everybody moved out of California yet?

About 90% of the world’s earthquakes and 81% of the world’s largest earthquakes occur along the Pacific Ring of Fire which would include California – as well as the entire West coast the U.S. – and also Costa Rica.

And unlike Costa Rica which does not get hurricanes, more storms hit Florida than any other state but I don’t see that Walt Disney World Resort is moving any time soon or, did I miss that announcement?

I’m making an educated guess here but it looks to me like one hurricane called Katrina alone caused more death and destruction than anything Mother Nature has thrown at Costa Rica in the last 50 years…

Most people are programmed well to be fearful of each new health scam that comes along and for some inexplicable reason these people can’t think for themselves and never seem to learn from the past.

I am not most people and know that many of our VIP Members are also intelligent, inquisitive truth seekers.

• Remember how the “whole world” was going to be infected by Ebola?
• Do you remember in late 2009 when the US Centers for Disease Control estimated there were 22 million cases of Swine Flue in the US.
• SARS?
• Bird Flu?
• The West Nile Virus?

And now in 2016 we have the dreaded Zika virus all the way from Brazil! Which for 60 years has caused, at worst, mild illness but now supposedly causes microcephaly (where babies have smaller heads and brain impairment) even though nobody can produce any evidence that Zika is the cause.

So before you get hysterically worried about your pregnant friend in Costa Rica, let’s take a quick look at how ‘serious’ this new medical threat really is:

On January 27th “New figures released Wednesday by Brazil’s Health Ministry as part of a probe into the Zika virus have found fewer cases of a rare birth defect than first feared.

Brazilian officials said the babies with the defect and their mothers are being tested to see if they had been infected. Six of the 270 confirmed microcephaly cases were found to have the virus.”

Six (6) of the “confirmed microcephaly cases” were found to have the Zika virus and you’re thinking about cancelling your trip to Costa Rica?

Six?

Oh! And by the way, did you know that: “Annually, approximately 25,000 infants in the United States will be diagnosed with microcephaly…”

Ignoring the hysteria in the mainstream manipulated news – you don’t still actually poison your brain with what that polluted garbage do you? – factually speaking the odds of a pregnant woman giving birth to a child with microcephaly are a lot higher in the USA than they are in Costa Rica and your chances of drowning or dying in a traffic accident in Costa Rica are probably a million times higher than your chances of ever having any serious Zika problems!

So if you are the kind of person who avoids California because of the risk of a major earthquake or, you never travel to Florida because they regularly have devastating and deadly hurricanes, for goodness sake, don’t even dream of visiting Costa Rica or anywhere else where you might find a mosquito!

Stay at home, shut your doors and don’t forget to close all your windows too because you might catch that dreaded Zika Virus that’s going around…

I would encourage you to read the work of Jon Rappaport on this subject, he was kind enough to give me permission to republish a few of his Zika articles on our site at:

2. Zika Freakout: The hoax and the covert op continue. 2/4
3. Zika: Genetically engineered mosquitoes causing smaller heads? 3/4
4. Zika? Monsanto’s Roundup associated with smaller heads. 4/4

Hasta luego from your ‘amigo’ in Costa Rica – Perhaps your new home of stunning scenery, sunshine, smiles and the occasional earthquake.
