Obama to announce Ebola force of 3,000 US military personnel Contingent being sent to west Africa will train health workers, build treatment centres and deliver resources to tackle epidemic

he Obama administration is ramping up its response to west Africa’s Ebola crisis, preparing to assign 3,000 US military personnel to the afflicted region to supply medical and logistical support to overwhelmed local healthcare systems and to boost the number of beds needed to isolate and treat victims of the epidemic.
Barack Obama is to announce the stepped-up effort on Tuesday during a visit to the US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta amid alarm that the outbreak could spread and the deadly virus could mutate into a more easily transmitted disease.
There have been appeals from the region and from aid organisations for a heightened US role in dealing with the outbreak, blamed for more than 2,200 deaths.
Administration officials said on Monday that the new initiatives aimed to train as many as 500 healthcare workers a week; erect 17 healthcare facilities in the region of 100 beds each; set up a joint command headquartered in Monrovia, Liberia, to co-ordinate between US and international relief efforts; provide home healthcare kits to hundreds of thousands of households, including 50,000 that the US Agency for International Development will deliver to Liberia this week; and carry out a home and community-based campaign to train local populations on how to handle exposed patients.

Ebola Infected Patients Flee Clinic After Raid By Armed Men

As many as 29 potentially Ebola-infected patients fled a quarantine center in Monrovia overnight after it was raided by armed men.

The Guardian reports that George Williams, the head of the Health Workers Association of Liberia, said the clinic housed 29 patients who "were receiving preliminary treatment before being taken to hospital." Rebecca Wesseh, whose report of the attack was confirmed by Williams, said, "They broke down the door and looted the place. The patients have all gone."

It is not clear at this time how many patients are missing.

The AP reports that the raid was led by residents angry that Ebola patients were brought to the holding center in West Point from other parts of Monrovia. From the AP:

West Point residents went on a "looting spree," stealing items from the clinic that were likely infected, said a senior police official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to brief the press. The residents took mattresses, sheets and blankets that had bloodstains, which could spread the infection.

"All between the houses you could see people fleeing with items looted from the patients," the official said, adding that he now feared "the whole of West Point will be infected."

Ukraine/Russia Smell that? That's the smell of a whole lot of sumfin' hitting a very large fan.

Right Wing Nationalists = Fascists Mark my words we are going to end up on the wrong side of this thing.
Trying to learn what is going on in Ukraine/Russia. Watching the conventional news channel on TV for the first time in over a year. What absolute shit this is. Is this what passes for journalism now? Only the BBC and CBC have the thinnest pretense of objectivity. CNN is Laughably Latte Liberal on just about every issue with talking heads who don't even seem to have a rudimentary understanding of geopolitics. Every other "News" outlet seems to be preoccupied by every fluff story about the Oscars they can find. ABSOLUTE CRAP. The networks can't understand why nobody watches anymore? Really?

Anyway, 
CNN has just declared that Russia has invaded Ukraine. The fact that this region is overwhelmingly ethnic Russian makes me wonder; how the hell do they know? "Holy crap! Southern Ukraine is full of Russians! What the hell happened!" "Must have been an invasion."

It  may be that Russia wants to deploy it's forces in the Crimea region to stabilize the nuclear missile silos scattered all over the region. Many forget that after the fall of communism the Ukraine became the world's 4th largest nuclear power.

Stay tuned Apocalyptoids, we're on this.

Frightening Ebola Outbreak In Uganda. Kenya Now Affected.

The deadly Ebola virus has killed people in western Uganda. Detailed laboratory investigations conducted at the Uganda Virus institute confirmed the disease to be Ebola Hemorrhagic fever, Sudan strain. World Health Organization experts say three samples taken from the dead revealed Ebola to be present in their biological specimen. The index case according to WHO officials belongs to a family in western Uganda where nine other members of the family also succumbed to death with four other people including a clinical officer. SLEEP WELL APOCALYPTOIDS.....

Once You Understand This, Everything Falls Into Place.

Here is the single most important thing to understand if you want to know how and why the world is the way it is. Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING that goes on in the great geo-political maelstrom that is planet Earth traces back to this one uncomfortable FACT. Sleep well Apocalyptiods.

Seriously Creepy..I mean...WOW!

One of these photos is of the Batman Massacre shooter. The other of the Privacy Massacre owner. Eerie coincidence n'est pas? Sleep well Apocalyptiods.

If this doesn't convince you, nothing will. Spread this far and wide. We need to get everyone to collectively pull their heads out of their asses.

Proof!

"This Is Not A Riot, It Is An Insurrection"

I love the bit at the end. "Have some respect for an old West Indian Negro" Silly bitch at the BBC tried to put this gentleman in his 'place', he was having none of it. Darcus Howe telling it like it is.

WHAT!!??...FUCKING...WHAT!!!!!??

This is surreal.
First there is the mission to "kill" Osama Bin Laden. A man who the locals said looked a little like Bin Laden but stated emphatically that it was "not him". Then the U.S government decided to dump the body into the ocean. "Bin Laden, he sleeps with the fishes." I wonder if there were cement boots involved. The powers that be then decide not to make any photographs or corroborating evidence of ANY kind available to the public.
Now the only human beings on the planet who know the truth about what happened have been killed in an "accident" in Afghanistan.

Osama Bin Laden "Killed"

Are we to actually believe the Bolivian govt in 1967 did a better job of proving that "public enemy #1" was dead than the mighty USA can do in 2011? Really? Buried at sea? How stupid do they think we are? Just a coincidence that Obama's re-election machine is beginning to gear up? Is it just a coincidence that the US-led multiple wars are escalating? Just a coincidence the dollar is crashing? Gas and oil prices in the USA are going into the stratosphere? Americans have a tragic tendency to rally round the Prez whenever violence is imminent, well be prepared. Massive violence is imminent. This will be used as a pretext for a huge increase in military action in the middle east by western powers. Don't get me wrong, Bin Laden is dead. Thing is, he has been dead since December 2001. Died of kidney failure. There are a series of photos showing (convincingly I might add) that the Bin Laden death photos were faked. Too gruesome to post here but they are not hard to find. Let's just say the past decade's Emmanuel Goldstein is dead and be done with it. Long live the next Emmanuel Goldstein.
