If this is accurate it would explain why no travel ban is being considered.
Washington, DC – Judicial Watch has learned that the Obama administration is actively formulating plans to admit Ebola-infected non-U.S. citizens into the United States for treatment. Specifically, the goal of the administration is to bring Ebola patients into the United States for treatment within the first days of diagnosis.
It is unclear who would bear the high costs of transporting and treating non-citizen Ebola patients. The plans include special waivers of laws and regulations that ban the admission of non-citizens with a communicable disease as dangerous as Ebola. (more…)

5-Month-Old Lancen Kendall of Phoenix Arizona becomes the seventh child to die as a result of Enterovirus D68 since mid-August.

Arizona – […]   Lancen Kendall, is one of 24 cases statewide that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is testing for the deadly D68 strain.

Lancen’s parents say he showed no signs or symptoms that he was sick and that he just didn’t wake up from a nap earlier this month. He was rushed to Banner Thunderbird Medical Center and, five days later, pronounced brain dead.

“The lack of warning is the scariest part to me. We didn’t know he was sick,” said his father, Kevin Kendall.

The death of their 5-month-old is still an impossible scenario for the couple. Their son always had a beaming smile and appeared healthy, they say, but doctors determined he was dying from a strain of the enterovirus.

“It’s kind of terrifying that it literally came out of nowhere,” said his mother, Kathleen Kendall.  (link)

Lancen’s death in Arizona follows the deaths of children in Michigan, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Illinois, Missouri and a severe case in Alabama. (more…)

The Kurds battling for Kobane (Kobani) continue to request resupply and additional weapons from the U.S. and Turkey. However, neither President Obama nor President Erdogan have done anything to provide reinforcements for the Kurdish fighters.
Despite their isolation, and with assistance from airstrikes in the surrounding terrain, Kurdish fighters have been able to recapture strategic locations from ISIS control.

SYRIA – Kurdish fighters have launched an unlikely comeback against Islamic State terrorists besieging the Syrian town of Kobane, amid claims the resistance forces have now reclaimed swathes of the city.
Images this morning showed Kurdish YPG soldiers triumphantly raising their flag above Tel Shair hill in the west of the city, where ISIS’ own black jihadist flag had recently been flying.
Assisted by sustained U.S. and Arab airstrikes, the massively outgunned Kurdish troops have managed to do what looking impossible only a week ago – force ISIS to abandon strategic locations in the west of Kobane and pin them back elsewhere in the city.

The article left me trying to figure out how the witness could be on the passenger side of the SUV, the same distance from the SUV as his opinion of the construction workers location, yet see the entire event from very beginning to end?  He also says he was close enough to hear the conversation at the SUV.  These statements contradict each other. 
I think I know who this “witness” is…..
CLAYTON • A stream of eyewitnesses has been testifying in secret before a grand jury considering whether to indict police officer Darren Wilson in the fatal shooting of Michael Brown near the Canfield Green apartments in Ferguson.
One Canfield resident — who said he saw the killing of Brown from start to finish and talked to the grand jury recently — has given the Post-Dispatch an account with some key differences from previous public statements from other witnesses.
Among the recollections of the witness, who agreed to an interview on the condition that his name not be used, were:
•After an initial scuffle in the car, the officer did not fire until Brown turned back toward him.
•Brown put his arms out to his sides but never raised his hands high.
•Brown staggered toward Wilson despite commands to stop.
•The two were about 20 to 25 feet apart when the last shots were fired.
•He would not detail what he told the grand jury but said the members seemed fair and asked a lot of questions.

This is what happens when you politicize a public health issue. Bureaucrats have to keep the concentric circles of protectionism around the President fully supported. Contradictions then become glaringly obvious.
CBS Reports Ms. Vinson was cleared to fly with a fever by the CDC.    Today the CDC says Ms. Vinson should never have flown.
You know…. well,… protocols and such.   Yeah…. watch:

The most unfortunate outcome so far is that Ebola has become politicized.  Val Jar and McDonough are applying the political prism to every statement, policy, instruction, speech and action.  Hence all the inherent contradictions… 
EXAMPLE:

Vinson called CDC several times before flying, informed staff she had fever. It allowed her to fly, reports @DrLapook on @CBSEveningNews

WASHINGTON – White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest today reaffirmed that the government doesn’t think a travel ban between the U.S. and countries affected with Ebola is a good idea. Fox News’ Ed Henry asked, “Why is it still appropriate for the U.S. to allow people to fly to America from the hot zone?”

Earnest said, “Quite simply, Ed, because there are –– there’s a multi-layered screening protocol that’s in place to ensure that individuals that may have symptoms consistent with Ebola are not even able to board planes in West Africa.”
He said plenty of people haven’t been allowed on planes for that very reason, and there’s additional screening for any American who flew to that part of the world and wants to reenter the country. (more…)

Yeah, well, we haven’t forgotten this – and apparently the Virginia police have not yet found Hannah Graham.

Honestly, I’ll admit I had to put the research away for a while because it was so disturbing. Yet, every day I’d stare at the white board and kept coming back to the dates. The dates -and- the creepy profile.
What is it about these dates? What it is about this geography? A geography of familiarity because I’ve spent quite a bit of time up and down the Appalachian trail much, much earlier in life. Perhaps that’s what’s so unnerving.
Without going into detail about all the scratched out post-it notes. I think there’s a possibility worth pursuing.

“Summer Camps” in Virginia.

Specifically camps that have summer activities, sleepover camps, for kids. A camp that Jesse Matthew might have familiarity with, or might even have attended. [And or campgrounds that are only seasonally active during the summer.]
Unattended, “off season” summer camps might make a good place for egress and access within distance to the geography. (more…)
