Common Core Curriculum: Students Asked to Write Assignment on Why Jews are Evil

SIC SEMPER TYRANNIS!!! News

In five paragraphs, they were required to prove that Jews were the source of Germany’s problems.

Anyone who understands anything about the push for a world government, and the destruction of Nation-states and borders, as well as a total technocratical enslavement of humanity through propaganda, fear, and control, also understand that education of our children is vital to the elites in bringing them under the boot of Big Brother.

Common Core is such a tool used by the elites who want what is termed as a "New World Order".

What exactly is Common Core?

According to Wikipedia, Common Core is defined as follows:
The Common Core State Standards Initiative is an educational initiative in the United States that details what K-12 students should know in English language arts and mathematics at the end of each grade. The initiative is sponsored by the National Governors Association (NGA) and the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) and seeks to establish consistent educational standards across the states as well as ensure that students graduating from high school are prepared to enter credit-bearing courses at two- or four-year college programs or enter the workforce.

Well, that sounds all warm and cozy, and parents probably would be okay with such a curriculum if indeed it was as innocent as it sounds.However, once we dig deeper into this program, we begin to see that it's not that educational, and in fact it is down right dangerous to our children and to the nation at large.

One example is a teacher who is pulling her children from the school district she grew up in. Why? - because of the program known as Common Core.

Her name is Lynn Rigby. In 1995 she decided to teach in in a school where she grew up in the Florida district outside Orlando. She also decided to send her children there as well. But after a while she began to see a big problem. According to The Blaze:
  Rigby has been seeing a really big problem — and she detailed it in a meticulous 2,800-word letter to politicians and educators that took her six weeks to complete.In it she explained that after a school year that was “totally disheartening” — as well as many attempts to navigate the myriad curriculum and standardized testing issues that grew only more maddening, perplexing, and convoluted as time wore on — she and her husband decided to pull their youngest kids from elementary school in the district they’d loved for so long.Why? So they could have a fighting chance to learn.And while Rigby’s letter — which elicited such a reaction that it was highlighted by The Washington Post — highlighted a number of issues, one culprit is the inescapable “elephant in the room,” she writes: Common Core.Or more accurately, “The Florida Standards which are aligned to Common Core,” she clarified. “The materials remain the same.” (The Post pointed out that the “new Florida Standards in math and Language Arts were approved earlier this year after the state pulled out of the Common Core State Standards initiative and devised their own, which actually look a great deal like the Core.”). 
Also in the letter she basically described the fact that as a 40 yr old teacher with an educational degree, she should be able to solve questions meant for 8 and 9 year olds in a matter of seconds without having to second -guess, but that wasn't the case either.
Rigby pointed out that “about 90%” of the assignments her son Jackson brings home has consisted of “worksheets, done in class and done at home. Everything I’ve seen this year is stand-alone, segmented. Nothing is deep, there is no time for kids to even consider what is interesting to them, because you’re on page 168 today and you need to get through 170 by tomorrow.” For Rigby it’s “a joke, a joke being played on our kids. On MY KID, I’m not cool with that.”
 She also called out President Obama, saying his Race to the Top “dictates these tests and Common Core through funding. But education is not a race – it is a journey – why must we hurry it along?”“I am asking you to start thinking outside of the box,” Rigby added. “Stand up for our kids. Put creativity back in learning and teaching. Someone has to take the initiative to save the schools and a generation of kids – why not you? Why not us? Who is in a better position than one of the highest performing counties in the state?”

Basically, the program makes your kid stupid. But, not only that, it sets them up to be a servant and not a leader.

As if that isn't bad enough, now revealed in the curriculum, some Albany High School English classes received an assignment to explain why Jews are evil! They were told to write a report on why they were evil, and the were to write the report as though they were writing it to Nazi officials!

They were also told to use solid rationale from government propaganda to show how loyal they are to the Third Reich!! (I wish I was making this up, but I'm not).

In an article at Federalist Papers.org, this hideous  assignment is explained:
Students were asked to watch and read Nazi propaganda, then pretend their teacher was a Nazi government official who needed to be convinced of their loyalty. In five paragraphs, they were required to prove that Jews were the source of Germany’s problems. The exercise was intended to challenge students to formulate a persuasive argument and was given to three classes, Albany Superintendent Marguerite Vanden Wyngaard said. She said the assignment should have been worded differently.“I would apologize to our families,” she said. “I don’t believe there was malice or intent to cause any insensitivities to our families of Jewish faith.”
One-third of the students refused to complete the assignment, she said.Vanden Wyngaard said the exercise reflects the type of writing expected of students under the new Common Core curriculum, the tough new academic standards that require more sophisticated writing. Such assignments attempt to connect English with history and social studies.
The good news was that at least a third of the class refused to write the assignment - the bad news was that two-thirds of the class were willing to write the assignment. The latter can be considered as "order takers".

What I mean by "order takers" are for example, those soldiers and officers in the German army and SS who upon the post war trials would follow up with the words, "I was only following orders", upon being asked to explain the reasons for committing atrocities during the war. Suchs assignments as the one mentioned above are not innocent, but subtle and mind-altering. They are indoctrinating.

There are many more examples that I could cover, in order to show that Common Core is ultimately "Corrupt to the Core", and need to be thrown out of every school in the country.

Exclusive: U.N. experts trace recent seized arms to Iran, violating embargo

UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - A U.N. expert panel has concluded that a shipment of rockets and other weapons that was seized by Israel came from Iran and represents a violation of the U.N. arms embargo on Tehran, according to a confidential report obtained by Reuters on Friday.
The finding comes just days ahead of the next round of negotiations in Vienna between Iran and six world powers aimed at securing a deal that would gradually lift international sanctions on Tehran -- including the arms embargo -- in exchange for curbs on the controversial Iranian nuclear program.
Despite Israel's public statements that the seized arms were destined for Gaza -- an allegation that Gaza's governing Islamist militant group Hamas dismissed as a fabrication -- the experts said the weapons were being sent to Sudan.

This Former CEO Tears Apart Obama’s Claim That Government Is Like The Private Sector

In a recent Fox News interview, former Heinz CEO Bill Johnson reacted to a recent comment by Barack Obama indicating that problems within the federal government are similar to what private businesses face.

“Are there programs that the government does that are a waste of money or aren’t working as well as they should be? Of course,” Obama said in a recent speech. “But I’ll tell you: if you work at any company in America, big company, you know, you’ll find some things they’re doing that aren’t all that efficient either.”
Host Neil Cavuto began the discussion by pointing out one significant difference between the public and private sectors.
“The company, when it screws up, it’s on the company’s dime,” he said. “When the government screws up, well, it’s on our dime.”
Johnson continued exposing the inherent fallacy of comparing the two realms.
“It’s a feckless comparison,” he asserted. “There’s just absolutely no comparison between business and the government.”
He alluded to three specific points to back up his claim.
“One, any business that’s not efficient and has a lot of waste can’t compete,” he said. “The government doesn’t have competition; business does.
“Second, we have owners and shareholders who demand we be efficient and not have a lot of waste and improve our margins and profitability.
“And third, if you are completely inefficient and continue to be inefficient, you are also out of a job, which they’re not.”
He accused Obama of formulating a statement “designed primarily to sort of move the debate someplace that it doesn’t belong.”
In the end, he said that businesses are generally “focused on doing what’s right,” recognizing that a failure to do so would mean it “goes bankrupt, gets bought, deals with activists, has shareholders that are unhappy, loses consumers, or has competitors who take their share away from them.”
The government, on the other hand, has no such incentives.
He then questioned why, if Obama truly looks at the government’s operation as akin to a business, he has done nothing to remedy the issues he acknowledged exist.
“If he knows there is inefficiency and waste,” Johnson concluded, “and knows where it is, why doesn’t he root it out and make the business more efficient, more effective, and more responsive to the American people?”

Study: All Employment Growth Since 2000 Went to Immigrants

National Review Online
June 26, 2014

Matheny's Note: I don't care if you are Democrat or Republican, this should infuriate every American!!! Many of us are working two jobs or more, and approximately 90 million Americans have no job currently. The illegal immigrants have to go!!! Enough is enough!!!

According to a major new report from the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS), net employment growth in the United States since 2000 has gone entirely to immigrants, legal and illegal. Using data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, CIS scholars Steven A. Camarota and Karen Zeigler found that there were 127,000 fewer working-age natives holding a job in the first quarter of 2014 than in 2000, while the number of immigrants with a job was 5.7 million above the 2000 level.
The rapidity with which immigrants recovered from the Great Recession, as well as the fact that they held a disproportionate share of jobs relative to their share of population growth before the recession, help to explain their findings, the authors report. In addition, native-born Americans and immigrants were affected differently by the recession.
Other significant findings include:
  • Because the native-born population grew significantly, but the number working actually fell, there were 17 million more working-age natives not working in the first quarter of 2014 than in 2000.
  • The share of natives working or looking for work, referred to as labor force participation, shows the same decline as the employment rate. In fact, labor force participation has continued to decline for working-age natives even after the jobs recovery began in 2010.
  • Immigrants have made gains across the labor market, including lower-skilled jobs such as maintenance, construction, and food service; middle-skilled jobs like office support and health care support; and high­er-skilled jobs, including management, computers, and health care practitioners.
  • The supply of potential workers is enormous: 8.7 million native college graduates are not working, as are 17 million with some college, and 25.3 million with no more than a high school education.
According to the study, 58 million working-age natives are not employed.
Camarota and Zeigler report three conclusions:
  • First, the long-term decline in the employment for natives across age and education levels is a clear in­dication that there is no general labor shortage, which is a primary justification for the large increases in immigration (skilled and unskilled) in the Schumer-Rubio bill and similar House proposals.
  • Second, the decline in work among the native-born over the last 14 years of high immigration is consis­tent with research showing that immigration reduces employment for natives.
  • Third, the trends since 2000 challenge the argument that immigration on balance increases job oppor­tunities for natives. Over 17 million immigrants arrived in the country in the last 14 years, yet native employment has deteriorated significantly.
The Center for Immigration Studies is a non-profit research institute. Founded in 1985, the organization is regularly consulted by policymakers, the academic community, and the media on matters of immigration policy.

Martin Armstrong Warns Civil Unrest Is Rising Everywhere: "This Won't End Pretty"

Zero Hedge
June 28, 2014

The greatest problem we have is misinformation. People simply do not comprehend why and how the economic policies of the post-war era are imploding. This whole agenda of socialism has sold a Utopian idea that the State is there for the people yet it is run by lawyers following their own self-interest. The pensions created for those in government drive the cost of government up exponentially with time. The political forces blame the rich and this merely creates a class warfare with no resolution for the future. Even confiscating all the wealth of the so-called rich will not sustain the system. Consequently, we just have to crash and burn and start all over again.
The Guardian reported that some 50,000 people marched in London to protest against austerity. They cried: “Who is really responsible for the mess this country is in? Is it the Polish fruit pickers or the Nigerian nurses? Or is it the bankers who plunged it into economic disaster – or the tax avoiders? It is selective anger.”
The exploitation by the bankers has been really a disaster. They have been their own worst enemy and in the end, they have become the symbol that inspires class warfare if not revolution. They are not the representatives of those who produce jobs. They are merely those who wanted to trade with other people’s money for free. When they win, it is their’s, but any losses are passed to the taxpayers. Bankers should be bankers – not hedge fund managers who keep 100% of the profits using other people’s savings.
Glass-Steagall Signing-Repeal
The repeal of Glass Steagall was the final straw that broke the back of the world economy. That was the single worst act that could have ever been done and we are now paying the price in spades. The collapse from 2007 has wiped out even the liquidity of the markets. The second worst act was the creation of the euro when the real goal was the federalization of Europe from the outset. That undermined the entire European banking system and has led to a serious undermining of the entire global economy.
The solutions from politics will always be the same – grab more power. We are in a downward spiral of liberty and how far we go down this path to the future will be determined by the people and if they at least wise up and see this is not class warfare, it is the people against government. This is why I say career politicians are dangerous for they can be bought way too easily as Clinton was to open the flood gates for the bankers.
This is not going to end pretty. The question is when does society wake up? Just how high will this price be that we have to pay? They will blame the rich and the idiots will cheer – get them. What will happen when there is no more wealth to hunt? We end up with a communist state by default – no wealth, just career politicians who blame everyone but themselves.

After winning the border in Iraq, ISIS unites with Syria al Qaeda unit

DW
June 27, 2014


A unit of al Qaeda's Syria branch has pledged loyalty to the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria. Iraq‘s premier has ruled out a government of national unity in the face of the campaign by the mostly Sunni militants.
ISIS
In a region of fractured alliances, the merger announced Wednesday could allow the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) to control both sides of the border. The well-financed ISIS had seized Abu Qaim on the Iraqi side of the border earlier this week. Albu Kamal sits just opposite it, in Syria.
After months of clashes between ISIS and al Qaeda's al Nusra Front in Syria, Nusra's Albu Kamal branch "pledged loyalty to ISIS," Rami Abdel Rahman, the director of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said on Wednesday. "They are rivals, but both groups are jihadist and extremists," Abdel Rahman added. "This move will create tension now with other rebel groups, including Islamists, in the area."
Although both groups began as offshoots of al Qaeda, they became rivals after ISIS became involved in Syria's civil war in 2013. The central leadership of al Qaeda disowned ISIS and proclaimed the Nusra Front as its official affiliate in Syria.
In its efforts to create an Islamic state straddling both countries, ISIS has captured swathes of Iraq, beginning June 10 with Mosul, the main northern city. ISIS also controls large parts of eastern Syria, where it has clashed with rival rebels groups and occasionally fought alongside them, complicating the three-year-old insurgency against President Bashar al-Assad.
Omar Abu Leyla, a rebel spokesman in Syria's Deir Ezzor province, warned that "Albu Kamal is a red line." If ISIS fighters cross over from Iraq, he said, the opposition "Free Syrian Army will fight them."

Breaking: It looks like the American people have finally had enough of the open border policy between the U.S. and Mexican government that has been ongoing for these past 20 yrs, and have finally decided to shut down the southern invasion themselves by taking up arms to protect the border that our Federal government refuses to defend.

On June 27, 2014 during an interview with Newsmax Tv, Barbie Rogers founder of Patriot Info Hotline revealed that a good number of citizens Militia are already on the Laredo Texas border, with many more militia from all across the USA on the way.  She told Ed Berliner that:  “This will continue for days and weeks to come” and spread “to other points” along the U.S.-Mexico frontier.” Barbie rogers also said this during the interview: “Just like at the Bundy ranch, there will be no patriot out there on that line that will fire first,” Rogers said.

Rebuking Obama, U.S. top court limits presidential appointment powers

(Reuters) - The U.S. Supreme Court reined in presidential power on Thursday, ruling that President Barack Obama went too far when he filled senior government posts without seeking U.S. Senate approval, but the justices stopped short of a more sweeping decision limiting executive authority.
In a ruling that will constrain future presidents, the court held on a 9-0 vote that the three appointments Obama made to the U.S. National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) in 2012 were unlawful. The decision limits the ability of presidents to make so-called recess appointments without Senate approval.
Although the court was unanimous on the outcome, the nine justices were divided 5-4 on the legal reasoning. Justice Antonin Scalia wrote a fiery opinion, joined by his conservative colleagues, saying he would have gone further in limiting the recess appointment power. Justice Anthony Kennedy, the court's regular swing vote, joined liberal colleagues in the majority.
The ruling comes at a time of partisan political fighting in Congress between Republicans and Obama.
Republicans have fought virtually every major Obama initiative since he took office in 2009 and they have accused the Democratic president of overstepping his constitutional authority.
The Supreme Court upheld the president's power to make recess appointments in between Senate sessions or recesses during a legislative session. Its narrow ruling said there is no recess when the Senate holds so-called pro forma sessions during which no business is conducted but the Senate is not formally adjourned.
"The only remaining practical use for the recess appointment power is the ignoble one of enabling presidents to circumvent the Senate's role in the appointment process, which is precisely what happened here," Scalia read from a court statement.
Thursday's majority decision, written by Justice Stephen Breyer, could especially hamper the Obama administration if Republicans win control of the Senate in Nov. 4 elections. They already control the House of Representatives.
White House spokesman Josh Earnest said Obama was "deeply disappointed" by the ruling but noted that the decision "does preserve some important elements of the president’s executive authority, and he will not hesitate to use it."
The ruling has little immediate impact because Democrats, who currently control the Senate, pushed through a rule change in November 2013 that made it harder for Republicans to block the president’s nominees.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, a Democrat from Nevada, said the ruling “underscores the importance” of the Senate rule change last year.
“Without that reform and with today’s ruling, a small but vocal minority would have more power than ever to block qualified nominees from getting a simple up-or-down vote,” he said.
Kentucky Republican Mitch McConnell, the Senate minority leader, said: "All Americans should be grateful for the court's rebuke of the administration." Republican senators had filed papers urging the court to rule against the administration.
Senators have the ability to delay or block altogether a president’s nominees, meaning they might never be confirmed.

Presidents of both parties have regularly used recess appointments. For example, Obama's predecessor, Republican George W. Bush, used this power to appoint John Bolton - a hero to many conservatives - as his U.N. ambassador in the face of staunch Democratic opposition in the Senate.

Organized Raid on Mexican-U.S. Border, Just a Dry Run for Bigger Assault?

As if getting free bus tickets and escorts over the border is not enough, now South - Americans are coming in large crowds to test the mettle of our Border Agents.

In the Video report below, new incidents of large groups of potential illegals are gathering and assaulting Border agents with rocks. According to the news account, border agents say this is the first of it's kind.

"They were combative, uh throwing rocks and bottles, and flashing gang signs, and threatening agents," said Pete Vasquez, Assistant Cheif Patrol Agent.

The incident occurred last Sunday South of the Las Americos Mall in San Ysidro. Border Agents fear that since this assault was coordinated, there could be more future organized assaults along the Border.

It is uncertain as to why the assaulters videotaped the riot, but police are using the video, posted on a website to find identities of some of the suspects in the group. It is believed the assault was coordinated by someone.

Border Agents said they were forced to use pepper spray, helicopters, and were prepared for the worst should the assault have gotten more violent.

The lack of action by President Obama and the State Department to free Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi from a Mexican prison has outraged Americans all across the country.
It seems clear that Tahmooressi was wrongfully imprisoned, and he, along with his mother, have been pleading with the government to provide some form of assistance in freeing him from jail, but have been ignored and brushed to the side.
The Mexican government’s disrespect toward America is something that should not be tolerated, and the lack of response by the government has inspired many pundits and citizens alike to stand up and take action on their own.

Report: Militarized Police Treating Citizens as "Wartime Enemies"

The New American
June 27, 2014

Report: Militarized Police Treating Citizens as "Wartime Enemies"
As the number of troop-heavy foreign interventions decreases, the warcraft and weaponry used in battle are now being deployed in neighborhoods as members and machines of law enforcement become increasingly indistinguishable from those of the military.
This is the situation as revealed in a new report published by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) entitled “War Comes Home: The Excessive Militarization of American Policing.”
A SWAT team blew a hole in my 2 year-old son” is perhaps the best example of a headline announcing the horrific impact this conversion can have when left unchecked.
As reported by The New American, a toddler is in a medically induced coma after a Cornelia, Georgia, SWAT team tossed a flash-bang grenade into his crib during the execution of a “no-knock” warrant.
Bounkham Phonesavanh is 19 months old and was asleep in his crib when police broke down the front door in the early morning hours on May 28 and threw the grenade into the front room. His mother, father, and three sisters were in the room as well.
Earlier this week, the baby’s mother, Alecia Phonesavanh, described the ordeal in detail, including the relevant account of the near fatal blurring of the line between soldier and cop:
Flashbang grenades were created for soldiers to use during battle. When they explode, the noise is so loud and the flash is so bright that anyone close by is temporarily blinded and deafened. It’s been three weeks since the flashbang exploded next to my sleeping baby, and he’s still covered in burns.
The ACLU provides a brief history of the creation and transformation of SWAT:
SWAT [Special Weapons And Tactics] teams were created in the late 1960s as “quasi-militaristic” squads capable of addressing serious and violent situations that presented imminent threats such as riots, barricade and hostage scenarios, and active shooter or sniper situations. The first SWAT team, at the Los Angeles Police Department, was developed in the wake of a series of emergency situations in which local police felt unable to respond as swiftly or as effectively as was necessary. SWAT teams have since expanded in number, and are used with greater frequency and, increasingly, for purposes for which they were not originally intended — overwhelmingly to serve search warrants in drug investigations.
In the case of Bounkham Phonesavanh, SWAT team members executed the no-knock warrant after receiving a tip from an informant that he had bought methamphetamine from a man named Wanis Thometheva earlier that day. Precisely the perversion of the power documented in the ACLU report.
“War Comes Home” observes 818 SWAT operations from July 2010 to October 2013. These operations were carried out by more than 20 law enforcement agencies in 11 states.
The 96-page report reveals that the increasingly militaristic police — forces equipped, trained, and often outfitted by the Pentagon — are behaving with a belligerence more at home on the battlefield in the face of an armed enemy than in neighborhoods while performing routine duties once accomplished with little more than a squad car and a badge.

ISIS RELEASES GLOBAL TAKEOVER MAP

Infowars News
June 27, 2014

ISIS “expansion” plan map posted on Twitter.
ISIS “expansion” plan map posted on Twitter.
ISIS, the Saudi and CIA supported and U.S. military trained terror army, has supposedly posted its five year “expansion” plan on Twitter.
The map shows the al-Qaeda offshoot occupying the entire Middle East, including Israel, the Arabian Peninsula, North Africa, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Indonesia and, most absurd of all, India. It apparently plans to do this with less than 40 thousand jihadists.
ISIS will probably never get out of Iraq and Syria, but that is beside the point. The idea is to keep the group in the headlines and amp up propaganda designed to feed the war on terror beast. This is done primarily through social media and sensationalistic stories floated by the establishment media. The group has even deployed an Arabic-language Twitter app called The Dawn of Glad Tidings, known as Dawn for short, in the effort to make it seem technologically savvy.
“A rapid stream of ISIS victories, massive amounts of media coverage and millions of breathless tweets have had a powerful combined effect on the group’s image,” writes John Little. “Like LulzSec at it’s height they appear to be unstoppable. And while they are a massively destabilizing force in the region, the general public (and many journalists) should start taking a much more critical view of their propaganda. This five year projection would be a good place to start.”
Side note: LulzSec is an FBI operation designed to take down whistleblowers and dent the rep of Wikileaks.
As for the five year projection: it is beyond absurd. No doubt ISIS will be able to gobble up large areas of Iraq. Iraq was engineered to be a failed state with an ineffective and corrupt militarycontrolled by the United States. The Iraq military is not meant to be a serious military force. It is a facade designed to be a client for the military industrial complex and a black hole exploited by contractors and preferred clients of the Pentagon and the State Department.
Much of North Africa consists of failed states further weakened by the engineered Arab Spring. Libya is now a haven for radical Islamists, including al-Qaeda. Boko Haram operates in Nigeria and the Saharan region is threatened by Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb. Meanwhile, in the Horn of Africa, al-Shabaab, brutal Somalia terror group, dominates.
All of this terrorist activity in Africa has provided a boon to the Pentagon and its Africom mission. In March, 2013 Major General Carter F. Ham told a House Armed Services Committee these groups pose a threat to U.S. national security interests. “However, the real threat to ‘US national security interests’ in Africa is not AQIM, Boko Haram or al-Shabaab, it is China’s demand for natural resources for their growing economy,” writes Timothy Alexander Guzman.
ISIS “ambition,” as the establishment media characterizes the ludicrous five year plan, is derailed when we take a look at South Asia. Hindus and Muslims have fought bloody wars for decades and continue to butcher each other on a regular basis. India has well over a billion Hindus. How exactly less than 40 thousand Muslims plan to conquer this area is not explained.
Another significant obstacle is Iran. More than 93 percent, around 66 million people, are Shia Muslims in Iran. The ISIS Sunni Wahhabists may behead a few Shia Muslims when they can and marginally threaten the Shia population in southern Iraq, but Iran will certainly intervene militarily if ISIS manages to move beyond Baghdad and invade Shia territory. For Shia Muslims, shrines in Najaf and Karbala in southern Iraq are the most revered sites after Mecca and Medina.
Comically, ISIS claims it will jump the Timor Sea from Indonesia – where there are over 200 million Muslims, primarily Sunni – into Australia, a country where the dominant religion is Christianity.
The ISIS map is fantastic propaganda created by the CIA, the U.S. military and NATO. It does not represent reality. It is merely another prop in the ongoing effort to expand the war on terror.

EBOLA OUTBREAK SPREADING, WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION CALLS FOR 'DRASTIC ACTION'

Breitbart
June 27, 2014

BRAZZAVILLE, Republic of the Congo, June 26 (UPI) -- 
The World Health Organization said it was "gravely concerned" about the "further international spread" of the Ebola virus, already responsible for some 400 deaths. In a message released Thursday, the group called for "drastic action" to stymie the spread.

The outbreak began in the West African country of Guinea; the disease has since spread to neighboring nations Sierra Leone and Liberia. Officials remain worried that the virus could move elsewhere.

"There is an urgent need to intensify response efforts...this is the only way that the outbreak will be effectively addressed," WHO officials pleaded.

WHO has already sent 150 experts West Africa to try to slow the spread. But even though officials last week denied the virus was increasing its pace of infection, their recent statement acknowledged that: "there has been significant increase in the number of daily reported cases and deaths."

The state from WHO comes only days after the international aid group Doctors Without Borders claimed the outbreak was "out of control."

And though it's quickly become the single most deadly outbreak in Ebola's history, it could be worse. Previous outbreaks have featured mortality rates close to 95 percent. The current outbreak has killed roughly 60 percent of those infected.

No vaccine or cure currently exists for the flu-like virus, which causes fever with chills, joint pain, muscle pain and chest pain.

But even as international groups like WHO and other aid workers sound the alarms, experts say the chance Ebola making its way to the U.S. or Europe remains quite low -- most travel in the region is local.
