EV-D68 More Dangerous Than Ebola

PHILADELPHIA – Infectious diseases caregivers and public health professionals are gathered in Philadelphia through the weekend for the annual meeting of the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA), more commonly known as IDWeek 2014. (You can also follow attendees in real-time on Twitter at the hashtag, #IDweek.)
The Society organized the press conference because of the very timely news about Ebola here, Europe, and West Africa, as well as children with respiratory disease caused by enterovirus D68.
The vast majority of today’s panel discussion focused on enterovirus D68, or EV-D68 for short, a virus that’s causing particularly severe respiratory illness in children nationwide. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported yesterday that EV-D68 infections have been confirmed in 45 states. Five children with the virus have died thus far and some children, especially in the Denver area, are experiencing muscle paralysis.
[…] The virus was first discovered in 1962 but not seen again in the U.S. for 36 years. Over 100 types of enterovirus are known, but they are distinct from polioviruses, stressed Aaron M. Milstone, MD, an assistant professor of infectious diseases at the Johns Hopkins Children’s Center.
In the current outbreak, Jackson said that EV-D68 is primarily affecting children. No cases have been identified in adults, suggesting that some previous exposure to EV-D68 conferred immunity to the currently-circulating virus. (more…)

After Congressman Duncan Hunter went on Fox News and delivered this initial story the mainstream legacy news and the Obama administration went into a full court press to refute him.  The denials by DHS are absolute lies and we’ll outline the proof in that regard.  First, to Rep. Duncan’s assertion…

We find the media’s approach a little odd especially because it was not long ago the FBI stopped a terrorist plot to kill the Saudi Ambassador to the U.S.  The essential elements of the plot originated in Mexico:

 “In connection with his guilty plea, [Manssor Arbabsiar, an Iranian-born naturalized American citizen] admitted that, from the spring of 2011 to the fall of 2011, he conspired with officials in the Iranian military who were based in Iran to cause the assassination of the Saudi Arabian ambassador while the ambassador was in the United States. Arbabsiar acknowledged that at the direction of these co-conspirators, he traveled to Mexico on several occasions during 2011 in order to arrange the assassination of the ambassador”.  (link)

Along with other known terrorist border crossings, the current story told by Duncan does not come as a surprise – (Judicial Watch) Islamic terrorists have entered the United States through the Mexican border and Homeland Security sources tell Judicial Watch that four have been apprehended in the last 36 hours by federal authorities and the Texas Department of Public Safety in McAllen and Pharr.

…. and that is Syrian forces on the ground who can fight ISIS !

Whiskey – Tango – Foxtrot !

What the heck are Syrian Kurds if not “Syrian forces on the ground who can fight ISIS” ?
This makes absolutely no sense.
By their own statements – The White House is willing to watch 10,000 Syrian Kurds die fighting ISIS in Kobane as the Pentagon works to train 5,000 Syrians to hopefully fight in April 2015.
Can the broad electorate see that Obama’s actual objective is to allow ISIS to win Syria?

Last night another black 18-year-old male was shot by an off-duty white Police Officer working a security job.

The Ferguson mob quickly ran to Saint Louis in an attempt to use the opportunity and drum up another racial incident of an innocent black child shot by racist white cop. Toward that end they were selling the story of a black child armed only with a sandwich.

Teyonna Myers, 23, of Florissant, said Myers was her cousin.
“He was unarmed,” Teyonna Myers said. “He had a sandwich in his hand, and they thought it was a gun. It’s like Michael Brown all over again.”

And that’s how the nonsense starts with this crowd.   They immediately used the useful rumors to attack police cars, spit on the police, throw bricks and bottles, smash windows and cause general chaos.  It’s apparently all the perpetually aggrieved know to do….

However, within a few hours a divergent set of facts surfaced. (more…)

From the same department who gave us the mysterious “Richard Windsor”, a ficticious name and email account -belonging to EPA Head Gina McCarthy’s predecessor Lisa Jackson- used to hide communication….

The smidgen stink is profound with this one. 

(Via Washington Times) The EPA is poised to “do an IRS” — similar to what the tax agency had to do with dismissed top official Lois G. Lerner — and officially notify the National Archives that it may have lost key electronic records, according to a think tank that’s suing to get text messages under an open-records request.
Justice Department lawyers told a federal court on Tuesday that the alert will be coming soon, in a case that’s shaping up as a significant battle over whether government agencies are required to keep cellphone text messages as “official” records.
In this case, researcher Chris Horner and the Competitive Enterprise Institute are trying to get a peek at Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Gina McCarthy’s text messages, believing that she switched from emails to texting in order to talk about the agency’s controversial plans to crack down on coal power plants.

Apparently Turkey’s Prime Minister Recep Erdogan is quite open about his support of ISIS now. Anyone trying to cross the Syrian border to assist the sieged city of Kobane (Kobani) will be shot. Anyone who rises in objection to Turkey watching the slaughter in Kobane will also be shot. So far Erdogan has killed 21 Turkish Kurds who have advocated against ISIS in support of Kobane.

Failing to support an Islamic State, a caliphate, will not be tolerated. Erdogan’s position is anyone who does not support ISIS is essentially anti-democracy – and he’ll kill you to prove it.

TURKEY – Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu has defended his government on its policies on Syria, as the death toll in the worst street unrest in Turkey’s recent past hit 21.
[…] He also declared calls to hold rallies in support of Kobane to be “against democracy.”
Chief of General Staff Gen. Necdet Özel, deputy prime ministers Bülent Arınç, Ali Babacan and Yalçın Akdoğan, Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu, Interior Minister Efkan Ala, National Defense Minister İsmet Yılmaz were among the senior officials who attended the meeting. (more…)

2-J’s is trying to refill his invisible credibility container; he stumbled in Ferguson and embarrassed himself as the rioting youths laughed in his face while his figments emptied on the sidewalk.   He left Ferguson last month with an empty tin cup, because nobody gave him any money.   He’s getting desperate, and so today Jackson writes:
TEXAS (Huffington Post)  […] there are also questions of giving the drug only to those whose cases will bring media attention — like the two white missionaries. Use in such high-profile cases could increase the number of investors and the amount of government money for further research into the drug cocktail.

The use of ZMapp raises the question of privilege. Is it only those with better connections to positions of power who will get a fighting chance to receive this experimental drug?
When Thomas Eric Duncan first became sick and went to the hospital, he was treated with antibiotics and sent home. (more…)

Professional activists and race-based agitators announce plans to incite Ferguson community if they do not get an indictment of Police Officer Darren Wilson.

… Asked during a question-and-answer session how far they were willing to go for their cause, Poe said: “Don’t come to Ferguson if you aren’t ready to die. Stay at home, as it could happen.” Yates said: “I can say this with 100% certainty: all three of us have had moments in the street where we realised we could die right there.”…

(Via The Guardian) Organisers of demonstrations in Ferguson, Missouri, promised to intensify their protests over the killing of Michael Brown if the officer who shot him does not face criminal charges, warning police that they are prepared to die on the streets for their cause.

Three prominent members of the protest movement that sprung up after the deadly police shooting of Brown, an unarmed 18-year-old, told a rally in New York on Tuesday night that there would be a fierce backlash if a grand jury declined to indict officer Darren Wilson.
“If they can’t serve justice in this, the people have every right to go out and express their rage in a manner that is equal to what we have suffered,” said Ashley Yates, a co-founder of Millennial Activists United, who was arrested last week while protesting in Ferguson. (more…)

DALLAS (AP) — The first Ebola patient diagnosed in the United States died Wednesday morning in a Dallas hospital Wednesday, a hospital spokesman said.
Thomas Eric Duncan was pronounced dead at 7:51 a.m. at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas, where he was admitted Sept. 28 and has been kept in isolation, according to spokesman Wendell Watson.

Duncan’s condition was changed on Saturday from serious to critical.
Duncan carried the deadly virus with him from his home in Liberia, though he showed no signs when he left for the United States. He arrived in Dallas Sept. 20 and fell sick a few days later. (more…)
