Ebola - Fear, Lies and The Evidence

11/29/2014

Just about everything we've been told about Ebola since the beginning of the outbreak in west Africa, is wrong.

The means of transmission, the incubation period, its persistence on surfaces, available treatment methods have all been systematically misrepresented. That's an extreme claim, and extreme claims must bear the burden proof, so let's take a look at the evidence. Read Full Story Here

“In Air Transmission of Ebola The corporate media, the CDC and other "authorities" have repeatedly insisted that Ebola can only be contracted by direct contact with an infected person or their bodily fluids and that it does not and cannot not spread through the air.

This is false, and the U.S. government has known that it's false for quite some time now.

This 1995 study conducted by the US Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRID), entitled "Lethal experimental infections of rhesus monkeys by aerosolized Ebola virus" clearly warned of Ebola's ability to spread through the air.

The abstract concluded by saying:

The abstract concluded by saying:

Demonstration of fatal aerosol transmission of this virus in monkeys reinforces the importance of taking appropriate precautions to prevent its potential aerosol transmission to humans.

In 2010 a study entitled "The survival of filoviruses in liquids, on solid substrates and in a dynamic aerosol " was conducted by the British government's Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Full doc here). The study found that Ebola Zaire can be viable at infectious levels in aerosols for at least an hour and half at temperatures just above freezing. They also discovered that in that same temperature range, Ebola could persist on glass and plastic surfaces for over three weeks and on glass surfaces for at least 50 days. Previous research conducted at FSU had established that Ebola could live on surfaces for at least 6 days.

The fact that temperature plays such a key role in the durability of the virus could have significant implications for containment in colder climates.

Grand jury decision in Ferguson shooting of Michael Brown… no indictment

Ferguson Officer Darren Wilson Not Indicted In Michael Brown Shooting
HuffPost's Ryan Reilly reports:

CLAYTON, Mo. -- A grand jury has decided not to indict Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson for killing 18-year-old Michael Brown, St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Robert McCulloch announced Monday.

The Aug. 9 death of Brown, who was unarmed, sparked massive demonstrations in the St. Louis suburb of Ferguson and a national conversation on race and law enforcement. Activists had predicted a new wave of demonstrations if Wilson was not indicted -- not only in Ferguson, but in the greater St. Louis region and in other cities across the country.

McCulloch's office had said he would release full transcripts of the grand jury proceedings if the panel decided not to indict the police officer. McCulloch's office took an unusual approach to the grand jury process by simply presenting the panel with all the evidence but not recommending any specific charges against Wilson.

Obama Threatens Amnesty Executive Action Before New Congress Sworn

11/10/2014

U.S. President Barack Obama defended his plan to use executive powers to implement some immigration reforms, saying in an interview broadcast on Sunday he had waited long enough for Congress to act.Obama told congressional leaders on Friday he would try to ease some restrictions on undocumented immigrants, despite warnings from Republican leaders that such actions would "poison the well" or would be "a red flag in front of a bull".

The meeting came after Obama's Democratic Party was punished in midterm elections on Tuesday. Republicans seized the U.S. Senate and kept a majority in the House of Representatives, in what Obama said was a message from voters who held him responsible for how Washington worked, or didn't.

In an interview on CBS' "Face the Nation," Obama said he had watched while the U.S. Senate produced a bipartisan immigration reform bill, only to have it not taken up by House Republican Speaker John Boehner.

Obama said he had told Boehner if he could not get it done by year's end, the White House was going to have to take steps to improve the system.

"Everybody agrees the immigration system's broken. And we've been talking about it for years now in terms of fixing it," Obama said in the interview, according to a CBS transcript.

U.S. borders needed to be secure, the legal immigration system needed to be more efficient and there needed to be a path to legal status for the 11 million undocumented immigrants.

"We don't have the capacity to deport 11 million people -- everybody agrees on that," he said.

Obama insisted he was not telling Republicans they had run out of time or trying to circumvent them.

"The minute they pass a bill that addresses the problems with immigration reform, I will sign it and it supersedes whatever actions I take," Obama said in the interview.

"And I'm encouraging them to do so ... on parallel track we're going to be implementing an executive action.

"But if in fact a bill gets passed, nobody's going to be happier than me to sign it, because that means it will be permanent rather than temporary."

Without any changes, the government will continue to misallocate resources, deport people who should not be deported and not deport those who are dangerous, he said.

Any unilateral action promises to draw the ire of Republicans in Congress. U.S. Senator John Barrasso, the No. 4 Republican in the Senate, told Reuters on Friday members of Congress had told Obama that would be a "toxic decision".

"It will hurt cooperation on every issue," Barrasso told "Fox News Sunday".

"What the president does over the next two months is going to set the tone for the next two years."

Representative Darrell Issa, chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, said on ABC's "This Week" he hoped Obama would delay action "and have a real comprehensive discussion about what's possible, because a great deal is possible on immigration reform."

Putin Blatantly Calls Out the US Government’s Destructive Foreign Policy

11/9/2014

0 Comments

By Joseph Lemieux

(TheAntiMedia) The backdoor assertions from foreign countries are out the window. These countries are now speaking openly about their displeasure with the United States’ destructive foreign policy.

Vladimir Putin, on the 25th of October, executed his speech within the Valdai Discussion Club in front of fellow world leaders, openly discussing the United States failed foreign policy. We will go into some excerpts from his speech, and examine the validity of his claims, and worries.

“What we needed to do was to carry out a rational reconstruction and adapt it the new realities in the system of international relations.
But the United States, having declared itself the winner of the Cold War, saw no need for this. Instead of establishing a new balance of power, essential for maintaining order and stability, they took steps that threw the system into sharp and deep imbalance.”

Has the US Governments actions created an imbalance in the international community’s stability? This very well may be true! Just to name a few we have the War on Terror as a whole, War in Afghanistan, the Iraq War, US Intervention in Libya, and US intervention is Syria. These are just the face of our conflicts, this does not account for the drone warsin various country’s or the proxy wars we may be unaware of.

“The measures taken against those who refuse to submit are well-known and have been tried and tested many times. They include use of force, economic and propaganda pressure, meddling in domestic affairs, and appeals to a kind of ‘supra-legal’ legitimacy when they need to justify illegal intervention in this or that conflict or toppling inconvenient regimes. Of late, we have increasing evidence too that outright blackmail has been used with regard to a number of leaders. It is not for nothing that ‘big brother’ is spending billions of dollars on keeping the whole world, including its own closest allies, under surveillance.”

The US Government has done exactly these things. Take a look at Libya and Syria with use of force to remove a regime we don’t agree with. What about our spying apparatus the NSA, how has that been used? We do know that the NSA was spying on German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s cell phone, an ally of the United States, and for what? Possibly dirt to make sure any plan we had, with the idea of Germany’s involvement, would happen! Are we spying on even more allied nations in the hopes of having leverage to blackmail?

“In Syria, as in the past, the United States and its allies started directly financing and arming rebels and allowing them to fill their ranks with mercenaries from various countries. Let me ask where do these rebels get their money, arms and military specialists? Where does all this come from? How did the notorious ISIL manage to become such a powerful group, essentially a real armed force?”

The supply of weapons to ISIL in the beginning was widely contested, and highly ignored by media, but that’s not the case anymore. Reports continue to come out with the proof that US Government weapons continually end up in the hands of ISIL, whether it be intentional, or unintentional, those weapons are the US Governments responsibility. We are fighting a war with people we are still giving weapons too, that seems like a conflict of interest, unless your a war profiteer that is!

“As for financing sources, today, the money is coming not just from drugs, production of which has increased not just by a few percentage points but many-fold, since the international coalition forces have been present in Afghanistan. You are aware of this. The terrorists are getting money from selling oil too. Oil is produced in territory controlled by the terrorists, who sell it at dumping prices, produce it and transport it. But someone buys this oil, resells it, and makes a profit from it, not thinking about the fact that they are thus financing terrorists who could come sooner or later to their own soil and sow destruction in their own countries.”

Putin brings up Afghanistan, and the drug trade, so how much weight does this actually carry? It seems like his accusation comes to hold water quite well. Afghanistan currently produces 90% of the worlds heroin, and we are occupying that nation. Does this mean the US Government is the largest supplier of heroin in the world? I don’t know if I can make that claim, but then again the devils in the details right?
