West Africa’s Ebola Death Toll Continues to Climb: WHO

The Ebola death toll in the three West African countries most impacted by the virus has climbed to at least 7,373 of 19,031 known infections, the World Health Organization revealed in data released Saturday.

Western Sierra Leone is the “hotspot” of the ongoing outbreak, according to the WHO, which notes that this country has the highest infection rate, followed by Liberia and then Guinea.

However, Liberia accounts for far more Ebola deaths, leading some to question the accuracy of the WHO’s statistics on infection rates.

Nonetheless, the data shows an increase in overall cases, which are up by 500 since WHO data was last released on December 17.

The numbers were released following news Friday that Sierra Leone’s top-ranking doctor had succumbed to Ebola, making him the 11th of the country’s 120 doctors to die from the disease, according to the Guardian.

Meanwhile, humanitarian aid workers have criticized the global community for its failure to respond adequately as West African governments and grassroots initiatives such as the Citizens Alliance to Stop Ebola in Liberia struggle to stem the ongoing emergency.

“The international response to the Ebola crisis in West Africa has been slow and uneven leaving local people, national governments and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to do most of the practical, hands-on work,” the NGO Doctors Without Borders//Médecins Sans Frontières declared earlier this month.

The lackluster global response comes despite the fact that Western-driven economic policies played a key role in gutting West African public health systems.

“People are still dying horrible deaths in an outbreak that has already killed thousands,” said Dr. Joanne Liu, MSF international president. “We can’t let our guard down and allow this to become double failure, a response that was slow to begin with and is ill-adapted in the end.”

The Destruction of the Middle Class is Nearing the Final Stages


Like Tom I agree that Obama’s goal is the destruction of America I see this because I was trained to be able to take down a government by the US Military since I was a Green Beret Officer and that was our original mission back in the day!

Al Sharpton and New York Agitators Say They Will Not Pause Protests For Grieving Cops – Tell De Blasio To Go Spit…


The “hate” buss is moving and its picking up speed — the only person that can stop it is the President and he’s on vacation now. It was a lot of work getting the bus out of the ditch and moving again and he is not going to give up the keys to that buss now!

It Figures – Trayvon Martin Advocacy Group Was The New York Team Chanting For Dead Cops…


There is a core group of radicals many of whom are out of the “occupy” movement. Their goal is to ferment major civil disobedience to future their goals of a fundamental change in America. Without the unrest and resulting violence there will be no way to justify the changes they want to make in society.

Why Don’t We Study Gun Violence the Way We Study Car Accidents?


In the lasted CDC report which is for 2011 2,615.458 people died in the United States; of those all but 190,038 were for medical reasons. Of the 190,038 86,415 were from non vehicle accidents, 39,518 were from suicide, 38,023 were from transportation (mostly cars), 11,068 were from homicides (guns), 5,170 were homicides by other means, leaving 7,854 from various other reasons. Of the other category only 492 deaths were for legal reasons means by the police. Of that amount 133 were black and 337 were white, 22 were other.

Of non medical deaths 20.8% were suicide 18.6% from Motor vehicle 5.8% were homicides so we can see that guns are not a major factor and even if there were no guns the number of deaths would not change much and in fact could go up since criminals would now that there were no armed citizens and they would still have guns!

Ah, yes, a conversation sparked by Vivek Murthy being confirmed. Now, suddenly, gun violence is a health care issue instead of a crime issue or a people issue. Because everyone knows guns make people do bad things. If there were no guns, there would suddenly be no crime or unnatural causes of death. Utopia, I tell you! And, of course, there haven’t been any studies about gun violence. They don’t count if they don’t support the “progressive” extremist point of view. There have been lots of studies, they can be found via a Google search if they haven’t been talked about here.

One big reason for the absence of such data is that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has been operating for more than a decade under a virtual ban against doing the work. In the 1990s, the NRA persuaded Congress to pass legislation forbidding the CDC from…

The policies of the Obama administration and others like NYC mayor de Blasio have created an anti-police mood in minorities making violence more likely!


By Jeff Longo

The hateful anti-cop words spoken by the Obama administration and by NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio have helped create an atmosphere that made violence against police officers far more likely. They have shamefully used the deaths of Michael Brown in Ferguson, MO and Eric Garner in NYC to widen our nation’s racial divide and to demonize police departments across the country.

These mindless liberals chose to align themselves with a slimy race hustler like Al Sharpton and the “Occupy Wall Street” type protesters who assaulted two officers and demanded “dead cops.” Not remarkably, the result was two of New York’s finest being executed as they sat in their cruiser.

Liberal politics has placed a target on the back of every police officer in the country. Mayor de Blasio is failing miserably in his attempt to walk-back his reckless statements and the danger they have created. What little repect he had is gone forever… he should resign immediately. Three days after the assassination of these men in blue Mr. Obama remains silent as he contemplates his next attack on the Constitution. And as always, Barack Obama stands proudly over the demise of our Republic.
