March 27, 2024, 12:55:24 pm Mark says: Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked  When Hamas spokesman Abu Ubaida began a speech marking the 100th day of the war in Gaza, one confounding yet eye-opening proclamation escaped the headlines. Listing the motives for the Palestinian militant group's Oct. 7 massacre in Israel, he accused Jews of "bringing red cows" to the Holy Land.

September 24, 2017, 10:45:16 pm Psalm 51:17 says: The specific rule pertaining to the national anthem is found on pages A62-63 of the league rulebook. It states: “The National Anthem must be played prior to every NFL game, and all players must be on the sideline for the National Anthem. “During the National Anthem, players on the field and bench area should stand at attention, face the flag, hold helmets in their left hand, and refrain from talking. The home team should ensure that the American flag is in good condition. It should be pointed out to players and coaches that we continue to be judged by the public in this area of respect for the flag and our country. Failure to be on the field by the start of the National Anthem may result in discipline, such as fines, suspensions, and/or the forfeiture of draft choice(s) for violations of the above, including first offenses.”
September 20, 2017, 04:32:32 am Christian40 says: "The most popular Hepatitis B vaccine is nothing short of a witch’s brew including aluminum, formaldehyde, yeast, amino acids, and soy. Aluminum is a known neurotoxin that destroys cellular metabolism and function. Hundreds of studies link to the ravaging effects of aluminum. The other proteins and formaldehyde serve to activate the immune system and open up the blood-brain barrier. This is NOT a good thing."

U.S. was ill-equipped to handle Ebola rescues, State Dept. contract reveals
Life-saving gear needed to fly sick patients was in storage as epidemic grew

11/11/14

The air ambulance operation tasked with rescuing U.S. Ebola victims from West Africa was initially slowed by bureaucratic bungling and is now at risk of being overburdened as thousands of American troops deploy to fight the deadly disease.

Yahoo News has learned the U.S. government spent millions last decade to develop and build two of the world’s only isolation chambers for flying contagious patients — but as the epidemic raged in West Africa this summer and American aid workers there needed evacuating, the medical inventions were packed away in a small-town Georgia warehouse.

The troubling lack of preparedness by federal agencies forced the State Department to put up $4.9 million as part of a rushed contract to employ a commercial aviator to safely evacuate Ebola-infected Americans from West Africa.

The Aeromedical Biological Containment System (ABCS), a tent-like structure that allows caregivers to treat a single patient in flight without infectious germs escaping, was engineered by the Centers for Disease Control, Department of Defense and a private flight company, Phoenix Air Group, between 2007 and 2010 after the scare over SARS, severe acute respiratory syndrome.

The CDC paid Phoenix Air nearly $15 million between 2005 and 2011, according to a government database. Much of the money was spent to keep one of the company’s modified Gulfstream jets on retainer, in order to deploy the ABCS at a moment’s notice.

The isolator was never used, and the CDC decided it could no longer afford to keep a jet on standby. So the agency — whose mission includes controlling the introduction and spread of infectious diseases in the United States — asked Phoenix Air to shelve the gear in 2011.

By late July this year — with CDC workers and American aid volunteers in West Africa and the Ebola outbreak nearing its eighth month — the health agency had made no inquiries into its expensive life-saving equipment.

It wasn't until Aug. 18 that the U.S. government had a contract in place to get the ABCS and Phoenix Air back on 24/7 alert status.

“The Centers for Disease Control, Department of Defense, and other government agencies have deployed crisis response teams that currently have no contingency plan for evacuation,” State Department officials wrote in the contract. “The [U.S. government] response to this humanitarian crisis hinges on rapidly establishing a contract solution.”
