• A 54 year old office worker in Oklahoma had her head ripped from her body – because instead of trumpeted alarms there was discomfort-driven silence.
• An 18-year-old student in Virginia was abducted, raped and likely killed – because instead of deafening trumpets 2009-2014 there was awkward PC silence.
• $900+ million has been spent on non-existent Unaccompanied Alien Children – because instead of trumpeted outrage cultural Marxism paralyzed the Hill.
• The DOJ requested 1.1 million pages of IRS documents to create a target list – because they held no fear of any trumpeter showing up.
• The worlds most effective -and advanced- fighting force is merely putting on a show of making little rocks out of big rocks in Syria – because the White House has trained the trumpeters not to trumpet.

A Paradigm Shift is needed – Urgently. It cannot be provided to you, you must develop it within your own mind – and you’d better do it quick; or you will lose your capacity to trumpet !

If you are a regular reader of this site you are most likely a person who engages in intellectual discussion on daily events, and more than likely a root cause thinker.
Meaning you are able to grasp events at their cause and not at their consequence.
However, for some reason even those who understand big picture dynamics are still comfortable sticking their heads in the sand regarding “motive”.
Most people are still clinging to actual beliefs around a principle of ‘rule of law’ that applies to National Leadership.  You must re-evaluate that thinking quickly – or, like the parents of Hannah Graham, you’ll be left asking ‘what happened’ far too late.
You’ll accept “passing it”, before “seeing what’s in it”…. (more…)

Patient ZERO is named: “Thomas Eric Duncan“

Yesterday the head of the CDC, Tom Friedman, claimed “I have no doubt that we will control this case of Ebola so that it does not spread” – today the CDC announces they are evaluating patient number two…. and that patient Zero had contact with several children of various ages who have also attended various schools.

DALLAS – Health officials are closely monitoring a possible second Ebola patient who had close contact with the first person to be diagnosed in the U.S., the director of Dallas County’s health department said Wednesday.

All who have been in close contact with the man diagnosed are being monitored as a precaution, said Zachary Thompson, director of Dallas County Health and Human Services.
“Let me be real frank to the Dallas County residents: The fact that we have one confirmed case, there may be another case that is a close associate with this particular patient,” he said. “So this is real. There should be a concern, but it’s contained to the specific family members and close friends at this moment.”

The empirical evidence of an airborne Ebola Strain is overwhelming

Hat Tip GWP – Patrick Sawyer was the American businessman, who contracted Ebola while working in Liberia, then collapsed after he got off a plane to Nigeria and died July 25.  He was the first patient in Nigeria with the Ebola virus.  The Nigerian authorities have refused to release the names of other passengers on the plane with Mr. Sawyer, or notify the media of their status.

Sawyer, 40, was a naturalized American citizen who lived in Minneapolis and was working as a consultant for the Liberian finance ministry. Now Patrick Sawyer’s doctor has the disease.  Additionally, three others who treated Sawyer also have the disease.

Despite U.S. CDC reassurances more evidence is surfacing the Ebola outbreak is now “spinning out of control“.
MORE ALARMINGLY – It is now also discovered that in 1995 the ability of Ebola to aerosolize –or transmit via airborne pathogens– was reported, studied and confirmed. Ebola is a communicable airborne virus. (more…)

BREAKING NEWS: Ebola forces Liberia to shut border crossings  (link)

*NOTE*  Did Dr. Kent Brantly’s family anticipate the border closure ? (see article below)

BOONE, N.C. (AP) — A second American aid worker has tested positive for the Ebola virus at the same hospital in Liberia where an American doctor became infected while helping to combat an outbreak of the deadly disease, a relief group official said Sunday.
Ken Isaacs, a vice president of Samaritan’s Purse, told The Associated Press that Dr. Kent Brantly — the 33-year-old medical director for the group’s Ebola care center on the outskirts of the Liberian capital of Monrovia — was stable and in very serious condition.

“We are hopeful and prayerful,” Isaacs told AP by telephone from the group headquarters in Boone, North Carolina. He said the doctor quickly recognized the symptoms and sought speedy treatment.
Isaacs identified the second American, Nancy Writebol, as a worker with an allied aid group SIM, or Serving in Mission, which runs the hospital where Samaritan’s Purse has an Ebola care center on the grounds. He said she was in stable and serious condition.

Many observers speculated at the time the FEDS could not allow the appearance of the Militia to be the public impression of their decision not to follow through with the Bundy Roundup in Nevada.     

Several issues were concerning.    1.) The “Oath Keepers” within the police department were openly exposed as frauds, and to-a-man willing to go along with the federal agents.  2.) The appearance of the armed Militia groups instantly became a risk to the power of the armed federal agencies and “for hire” contractors who are used to unlimited hostile action against citizens without consequence.

Now This…. [Assistant Sheriff Joe] […]   Lombardo confirms that Metro developed a lot of intelligence about militia members who were present. Those who aimed their guns at officers will be dealt with.

“Yes, there will be consequences, definitely. That is unacceptable behavior. If we let it go, it will continue into the future,” Lombardo said.

Law enforcement sources told us that federal officials are preparing to move against Cliven Bundy, but they might wait months until things die down before making their move.

Metro Police could take separate action in response to the provocations they experienced in Bunkerville and may be working to identify particular suspects.  (full article)

Head’s up Indiana – The MERS virus is widely thought to be a virus spawned from bacterium in Camels.   People who drink camel urine could be spreading the virus into surrounding geographies.

NEW YORK (AP) — Health officials on Friday confirmed the first case of an American infected with a mysterious Middle East virus. The man fell ill after arriving in the U.S. about a week ago from Saudi Arabia where he is a health care worker.

The man is hospitalized in Indiana with Middle East respiratory syndrome, or MERS, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which is investigating the case along with Indiana health officials.

Saudi Arabia has been the center of an outbreak of MERS that began about two years ago. At least 400 people have had the respiratory illness, and more than 100 people have died. All had ties to the Middle East or to people who traveled there. Infections have been previously reported among health care workers. (more…)

The official narrative, of course, is that “violence”, and especially “gun violence” is the provence of  “Angry White Male Conservative Christians”.  This is a meme the Prog-enthralled media repeat over and over again. Wash, lather, rinse, repeat.
So, let’s do a little recap, shall we?
In March of 2008, conservative columnist and commenter Michelle Malkin did an admirable job highlighting the long history of “anti-War”, “anti-Military” acts of violence (in most examples, specifically targeting military recruiters working in the civilian community) intended to inflict terror which specifically had its genesis in the far Left.

About 300,000 gun owners;  About 1,000 Police Enforcement.  

Combat Ratio 300/1

(CONNECTICUT)  A showdown is developing between a sizable number of Connecticut state police officers and the politicians who passed into law highly restrictive gun control, gun bans, and bans on high capacity magazines.
Gun rights legal expert and activist David Hardy reported Friday that 250 law enforcement officers in Connecticut have signed an open letter stating that they will not enforce the new anti-gun and magazine laws, which they consider to be a violation of the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
A major news story on these developments is due to be published soon, but Hardy received an advanced notice via email from Tyler Jackson, the head of the Connecticut Peace Officers Association, the organization that sent the open letter.  (read more)

We’ve noticed several independent minded blogs beginning to pose the ultimate question around full-scale legislated gun confiscations in Connecticut.  (Links follow Summary Article)

(The Courant)  Everyone knew there would be some gun owners flouting the law that legislators hurriedly passed last April, requiring residents to register all military-style rifles with state police by Dec. 31.

But few thought the figures would be this bad.

By the end of 2013, state police had received 47,916 applications for assault weapons certificates, Lt. Paul Vance said. An additional 2,100 that were incomplete could still come in.

That 50,000 figure could be as little as 15 percent of the rifles classified as assault weapons owned by Connecticut residents, according to estimates by people in the industry, including the Newtown-based National Shooting Sports Foundation. No one has anything close to definitive figures, but the most conservative estimates place the number of unregistered assault weapons well above 50,000, and perhaps as high as 350,000.
