We essentially already knew this because Darren Wilson has testified to the Grand Jury already.  Wilson would traditionally be nearly the last to be questioned.  The prosecutor is now confirming the investigation is over.   Now they need to time the release of the Grand Jury decision in an attempt to minimize the looting and violence.

(CNN) — The investigation into the controversial shooting death of unarmed teenager Michael Brown by a police officer in a St. Louis suburb has been completed, the St. Louis County prosecutor’s office said Wednesday.
Ferguson police Officer Darren Wilson shot and killed the 18-year-old in the middle of the day on August 9 after allegedly telling Brown and a friend to get out of the street.
Authorities could have charged Wilson themselves by filing a criminal complaint, but St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Robert McCulloch instead opted to present the case to a grand jury to decide whether to indict the officer.
“The investigation has been basically completed that is being conducted by both the FBI and St. Louis County PD,” Ed Magee, the spokesman for the prosecutor’s office, told CNN.
A grand jury is expected to decide by the middle of next month if Wilson will be charged criminally for the shooting, which sparked weeks of unrest on the streets of Ferguson and calls for a federal civil rights investigation. (read more)

Patient ZERO is named: “Thomas Eric Duncan“

Yesterday the head of the CDC, Tom Friedman, claimed “I have no doubt that we will control this case of Ebola so that it does not spread” – today the CDC announces they are evaluating patient number two…. and that patient Zero had contact with several children of various ages who have also attended various schools.

DALLAS – Health officials are closely monitoring a possible second Ebola patient who had close contact with the first person to be diagnosed in the U.S., the director of Dallas County’s health department said Wednesday.

All who have been in close contact with the man diagnosed are being monitored as a precaution, said Zachary Thompson, director of Dallas County Health and Human Services.
“Let me be real frank to the Dallas County residents: The fact that we have one confirmed case, there may be another case that is a close associate with this particular patient,” he said. “So this is real. There should be a concern, but it’s contained to the specific family members and close friends at this moment.”

Anyone who knows anything about the logistics of moving 2,200 U.S. military personnel into “contingency positions”, knows there are equivocal amounts of “support personnel” from other branches -within the military apparatus- assigned to supportive roles.

YAHOO NEWS – The US Marine Corps plans to deploy 2,300 troops to the Middle East for a new unit designed to quickly respond to crises in the volatile region, the Pentagon said Tuesday.
It will include several aircraft and be prepared to move rapidly in the case of “contingencies,” Pentagon spokesman Rear Admiral John Kirby told reporters. (more…)

Today the CDC confirmed the first case of unintentional importation of Ebola virus in the U.S.  (Full Video):

Patient Zero, a Liberian, located in Dallas Texas flew to the United States from Monrovia.

• 9/20 and 9/21 travel to the United States.
• 9/24 Became symptomatic for Ebola
• 9/26 Presented for treatment.
• 9/28 Admitted to hospital in Dallas for isolation, quarantine and treatment

Between 9/24/14 and 9/28/14 (4 days) Patient Zero was contagious and unconfined.  This is why the CDC says THERE WILL MORE LIKELY BE more infected as a result.
ALARMINGLY – It was discovered that in 1995 the ability of Ebola to aerosolize –or transmit via airborne pathogens– was reported, studied and confirmed.
Ebola, despite the CDC “calming” claims to the contrary,  has been scientifically proven to be a communicable airborne virus.   Coughing and sneezing can transmit the Ebola virus just like coughing and sneezing can transmit the flu.

DALLAS – Officials with the Center of Disease Control have confirmed the first case of Ebola in the U.S. in Dallas. The CDC will host a press conference at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday to address the issue.
Officials at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital say the patient is being kept in isolation until preliminary results came back Tuesday.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that 12 other people in the U.S. have been tested for Ebola since July 27. Those tests came back negative.
Hospital officials said in a statement that the latest patient’s symptoms and recent travel indicated a possible case of Ebola. The virus has killed more than 3,000 people in West Africa and infected a handful of Americans who traveled to that region. (more…)

A long-standing Wisconsin reporter in the Milwaukee area, Meg Kissinger, was covering a campaign event featuring Michelle Obama giving a speech on behalf of Democrat Candidate Mary Burke.
Michelle is filling in for President Obama on the Wisconsin stump because President Obama is too toxic to be seen assisting a candidate.  POTUS would not help.
The goal for Dems in Wisconsin is to defeat Conservative Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker.
The White House officials and candidate reps told the reporters they were NOT permitted to talk to the crowd at the event:

“Never seen anything like it in 35 years as a reporter covering dozens of political events,” she added on Facebook. “White House and Burke aides telling reporters we were not allowed to talk to the people on the other side of the rope. But that’s what reporters do: we talk to people. In America, that’s our job.”

Another uncomfortable event the national media will try to avoid….

(Via Breitbart) Memphis, Tennessee suffered another attack by a rampaging mob of black teenagers after they flooded the streets after a local high school football game Friday.
The mob of some 40 teens flooded into the street near inner city Central High School on Friday, September 26 just after the end of the game.

A witness to the rampaging mob, Sharon Mourning, said she wished she were armed at the time. “Had I had been armed we would have had a lot of kids laying in the Bellevue street that night,” she said.
The laughing, screaming teenagers waded into the street throwing bricks at cars, jumping on them and damaging them, and accosting pedestrians. (more…)

Chris Brooks was arrested in 2013 for drug possession and dealing. It was the arrest leading to the commendation given to Darren Wilson. Chris Brooks, and his attorney, are hopeful Darren Wilson will be unable to testify in his case – ergo acquittal.
What better way to gain acquittal than to tie up the primary witness against you. *ahem* DUH *ahem* And the STL Asst. prosecutor, too chicken sh!t to identify himself, has chattering teeth filled with PC angst, so he has to go out of his way to allow the circus to avoid the illusion of impropriety…
After all, these Ferguson protestors see Burning Crosses in the reflection of the sunrise on the Teddy Bear memorial. Not exactly the most acute or sensible amid the grievance class in the Missouri electorate, gnome sayin’?
CLAYTON, Mo. — A county judge on Monday approved a request by prosecutors to let a grand jury review a 2013 drug case in which an arresting officer was the suburban St. Louis police officer who fatally shot 18-year-old Michael Brown last month.
An attorney for Christopher Brooks alleges Ferguson officer Darren Wilson “roughed up” his client after he refused to hand over the keys to a locked car parked in his grandmother’s driveway, where police say they found drug paraphernalia and several ounces of pot.
“Wilson is compromised as a witness,” said defense attorney Nick Zotos, who opposed the request by Prosecuting Attorney Robert McCulloch’s office to shift the drug case to a panel that meets behind closed doors. (more…)

(Reuters) – Turkish tanks and armoured vehicles took up positions on a hill overlooking the besieged Syrian border town of Kobani on Monday as shelling by Islamic State insurgents intensified and stray fire hit Turkish soil, a Reuters correspondent said.
At least 15 tanks were positioned, some with their guns pointed towards Syrian territory, near a Turkish military base just northwest of Kobani. Plumes of smoke rose up as shells hit both the eastern and western sides of Kobani. (more…)
