Tonight I do MSNBC again at 8:15 PM from Nebraska Avenue and BBC Radio at 10:15 PM. Much discussion from the media about the role of "NIH scientists" in getting the ZMapp to Brantley. They are referring to Lisa Hensley. We needed to clear up her role in that CDC (Kevin DeCock) asked her to point Samaritan's Purse in the direction of the people who had the antibody. There was some feeling that there was some "government conspiracy". I will discipline Lisa when she returns from Liberia because she got out of her lane by getting involved in the procurement of the antibody. I am exhausted from media. August 5, 2014 - Media, particularly CNN and Sanjay Gupta still pursuing the issue of an NIH scientist (Lisa Hensley) who they claim actively pursued and obtained the zMapp antibodies for the 2 American patients. Lisa returns today and we must get the truth. She claims that she just steered Samaritan's Purse (SP) people to the individuals/groups that had interventions and SP decided to obtain the zMapp from Gary Kobinger (Canada) who apparently brought a dose to Sierra Leone. As it turns out, Lisa got on a helicopter provided by the State Department to pick up the zMapp from Sierra Leone and bring it back to Liberia. When she got to SL, she found out that SP had already obtained a helicopter themselves and had already picked up the zMapp and brought it to the patients in Liberia. I find out today that the helicopter that Lisa flew in was a CIA helicopter! The State department will deny any role in this since the CIA is not supposed to be operating out of the Embassy. However, the Embassy certainly "tried to" facilitate the transport of zMapp. I will straighten all of this out and get to the truth after we question Lisa. Getting exhausted by media.

August 6, 2014 - Some of the events that occurred today are very important. Lisa Hensley, an NIAID employee (Ph. D) is a NIAID scientist who reports to Peter Jahrling at Fort Detrick. She was in Liberia to give technical assistance. She had informed Cliff that her role in Samantha's Purse (SP) getting the zMapp antibodies for Dr. Brantley and Nancy Writebol was only peripheral and facilitating. Lisa has been called back by Cliff and returned from Liberia last night and Cliff Lane gathered a considerable amount of information from her. It appears that she has been much more active in assisting the people from SP in procuring the zMapp antibodies from Gary Kobinger of the Canadian Health Agency. In addition to just pointing the SP people in the right direction, she was actively involved in organizing an attempt to procure the antibodies and deliver them to the patients. The CDC was actively involved also in the person of Kevin DeCock who put Lisa in contact with SP. In addition, the United States Embassy in Monrovia, Liberia was very actively involved in this process. With regard to the latter the embassy provided a UN helicopter to take Lisa and the military attaché from the embassy to the border of
