OBAMA'S STASI BEGINS SOFT COUP WITH FLYNN'S POLITICAL ASSASSINATION

OBAMA'S STASI BEGINS SOFT COUP WITH 
FLYNN'S POLITICAL ASSASSINATION 
 Published on Feb 16, 2017
With leaks designed to destroy the credibility of key members of the Trump administration, and the ultimate goal that Trump “ ill die in jail", the “Deep State”, the rogue intelligence community, has seceded from the republic, declared civil war and asserted its sovereignty. The CIA used to hide its assassinations and deny it overthrew foreign governments. The NSA used to hide that it spied on Americans and the FBI denied it did searches without warrants. Now they not openly admit they do these things, they use the laws designed to constrain them, like FISA, as tools of the police state. As James Madison pointed out, “the means of defense against foreign danger historically have become instruments of tyranny at home"

Even people on the left who intensely dislike Trump & Flynn have said Flynn’s political assassination sets a very dangerous precedent. But some, like Glenn Greenwald, say very serious crimes were committed by the leakers, but he thinks the end justifies the means. David Knight explains why this is fundamentally different and far, far more dangerous than whistleblowers exposing criminal actions.

 San Antonio DA Speaks Out Against Toxic Vaccines
 "Vaxxed" Producer: We Are Killing Our Children
 This is Insane! (Rant from the Heart) Paul Thomas, MD, Pediatrician
 I have a huge concern, in The New York Times today… it is February 8th, 2017… there’s a huge article urging our President, Donald Trump, not to have a commission on vaccine safety. Wait a minute! They don’t want to find out if there’s a problem with our vaccines? That’s insane, folks! Absolutely insane. I’m a board certified pediatrician. I am not anti-vaccine. I’m not pro-vaccine. This idea of pushing people into anti or pro is ridiculous. We all want healthy kids. If we’re going to use vaccines, we want safe vaccines. There is absolutely no reason we shouldn’t look into this.
 New Federal 2017 Vaccine Schedules Approved 
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:
 The U.S. Centers for Disease Control 
and Prevention (CDC) and its Advisory Committee on Immunization 
Practices (ACIP) have approved new adult and childhood vaccine 
schedules, effective Feb. 1, 2017.
  The American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP), the American Academy
 of Pediatrics (AAP) and the American College of Obstetricians and 
Gynecologists (ACOG) have all endorsed the new schedules.1
The CDC’s release of the vaccine schedules has coincided with news reports that the Trump administration may appoint a special commission to investigate the safety of vaccines. In response to these reports, AAFP’s president, John Meigs, expressed his opposition to the proposal:
A new federal commission on immunizations is not necessary and would divert much-needed dollars from other, more pressing health care issues. To suggest the need for such an organization promotes unnecessary, ongoing and disproven skepticism about vaccines and public safety.”2
He added:
The science is clear, and family physicians stand ready to help everyone―from the incoming administration to the general public―understand how safe and important vaccines are.2

Updates to the Childhood Vaccine Schedule

The updated childhood vaccine schedule recommends that children between ages 11-12 years old receive two doses of Human Papillomavirus (HPV9) vaccine instead of the previously licensed three-dose schedule.2 The HPV9 vaccine can be given as early as nine years old and as late as 13-14 years old. For patients 15 years old and over, it is recommended that they receive three doses of HPV9.2
The second update pertains to the timing at which two doses of the meningococcal vaccine MenB-FHbp should be administered rather than the three doses originally recommended.2
The third update relates to the HepB vaccine. The ACIP recommends the hepatitis B shot should be administered to newborn infants “within 24 hours of birth” instead of the previous “at hospital discharge.”3

Updates to the Adult Vaccine Schedule

The ACIP recommends that adult patients with a history of egg allergy that manifests with symptoms other than hives may receive age-appropriate inactivated (IIV) or recombinant influenza vaccine (RIV) but should be supervised by a medical professional, who is able to quickly recognize and manage severe allergic reactions.2
The ACIP additionally recommends HepB vaccine for adults suffering from chronic liver disease, cirrhosis, alcoholic liver disease, fatty liver disease and autoimmune hepatitis.2

 CDC Publishes Final Rule on Quarantine Powers 
BY JOSEPH MERCOLA, DO
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:
 
The federal government’s legal authority to detain and quarantine persons infected with certain highly communicable and deadly infectious diseases historically primarily has involved detaining people entering the U.S. by boats and airplanes or traveling across state lines.
Federal government officials have long had the authority to apprehend, isolate and quarantine people for a limited number of infectious diseases on the U.S. quarantine list.
However, the legal authority for surveillance, detention and quarantining of citizens residing in the U.S. suspected of being infected with certain non-quarantinable communicable diseases historically has resided with state government health officials.1
On Jan. 17, 2017, the last day of the Obama administration, a new final rule on the Control of Communicable Diseases was issued by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) that is schedule to take effect in March.
The new rule gives the CDC expanded authority to apprehend, isolate and quarantine for at least 72 hours a person entering the U.S. or traveling between states, who is suspected of being infected, or at risk of being infected, with one of the nine diseases on the U.S. quarantine list (cholera, plague, diphtheria, smallpox, yellow fever, infectious tuberculosis, viral hemorrhagic fevers [like Ebola], severe acute respiratory syndrome [SARS] and influenza) that can cause a pandemic.2
The rule also strengthens federal surveillance of travelers for symptoms of non-quarantinable diseases like measles, pertussis and meningococcal disease.3
While proponents are touting the changes as necessary to protect the public health, critics have been arguing since the CDC first published the Notice of Proposed Rule Making (NPRM) in August 2016, that it is an example of government overreach, which poses a risk to  health and civil liberties.4
Because the National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC) and other organizations advocating for protection of civil liberties urged Americans to contact the CDC and oppose the NPRM last summer, the CDC received more than 15,000 comments from the public, many of them expressing concern that the rule violated the U.S. Constitution, and human and civil rights.
Although the CDC rejected this characterization, the agency did make changes to the final rule, including eliminating a provision that would have allowed the CDC to require individuals to agree to submit to public health measures such as hospitalization, vaccination and medical treatment.
In addition, the final rule states that medical examinations can only be conducted with prior informed consent.5

Who Could Be Quarantined Under the New Rule?

The new rule gives the CDC the power to detain for further health assessment a person who is crossing the U.S. or state borders if he or she is exhibiting certain infection symptoms associated with quarantinable diseases, such as fever, headache and acute gastroenteritis (abdominal cramps, loose stools or vomiting).
The new rule also makes it clear that rash and cough symptoms of non-quarantinable infectious diseases, such as measles and pertussis, among travelers are going to be more closely monitored by federal government officials as well.
For non-quarantinable diseases, CDC will be working with state health departments, who have the legal authority to detain and quarantine citizens suspected of being infected with, or at risk for, being infected with a communicable disease.
James Hodge Jr., a professor of public health law and ethics at the Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law at Arizona State University, told NPR, “Because of the breadth and scope of the definition of ill persons, CDC can target a much wider swath of persons to assess and screen.”6

Airline Pilots and Ship Operators to Become Surveillance Crews?

The new rule also includes new reporting requirements for airplanes and ships. If the rules take effect, airline pilots and ship operators would be required to report not only deaths on board but also “certain overt and common signs and symptoms of sick travelers” to the CDC prior to arriving into the U.S. Barbara Loe Fisher, NVIC co-founder and president noted:7
It is not a good idea to make the public’s airport experience even more difficult by enlisting flight crews to report passengers with symptoms that could be nothing more than eczema, acne, norovirus or the common cold.
… What started out as a vacation could be turned into a nightmare spent in an airport quarantine center.
The required signs and symptoms include the following, and must be reported not only during international travel, but also on airline flights flying domestically, between states:8
Airlines
(1) Fever (defined as measured temperature of 100.4 degrees F [38 degrees C] or greater, feels warm to the touch or gives a history of feeling feverish)
AND one of the following:
  • Skin rash
  • Difficulty breathing
  • Persistent cough
  • Decreased consciousness or recent onset of confusion
  • New unexplained bleeding or bruising
  • Persistent diarrhea
  • Persistent vomiting (other than airsickness)
  • Headache with stiff neck
  • Appearing obviously unwell; OR
(2) Fever that has persisted for more than 48 hours; OR
(3) Other signs or symptoms of communicable disease CDC is concerned about and has announced in the Federal Register.
Ships
(1) Fever (defined as measured temperature of 100.4 degrees F [38 degrees C] or greater, feels warm to the touch or gives a history of feeling feverish)
AND one of the following:
  • Skin rash
  • Difficulty breathing or suspected or confirmed pneumonia
  • Persistent cough or cough with bloody sputum
  • Decreased consciousness or recent onset of confusion
  • New unexplained bruising or bleeding
  • Persistent vomiting (other than seasickness)
  • Headache with stiff neck
  • Appearing obviously unwell; OR
(2) Fever that has persisted for more than 48 hours; OR
(3) Acute gastroenteritis (inflammation of stomach or intestines or both), defined as:
  • Diarrhea, defined as within a 24-hour period, three or more episodes of loose stools or an occurrence of loose stools that is above normal for the person, or
  • Vomiting and one or more of the following additional symptoms: one or more episodes of loose stools in a 24-hour period, abdominal cramps, headache, muscle aches or fever (temperature of 100.4 degrees F [38 degrees C] or greater); OR
(4) Other signs or symptoms of communicable disease CDC is concerned about and has announced in the Federal Register.

Is This Part of Global Efforts to Eradicate Measles?

In August 2016, NPRM, the CDC pointed to “the ongoing persistence of measles in the United States” as an example of why the updated rules are necessary. They even said, “Every case of measles in the United States is considered a public health emergency because of its extremely high transmissibility.”9
The World Health Organization (WHO) and U.S. health officials have targeted mass MMR vaccination campaigns as the solution to eradicating measles, even though serious questions remain about the vaccine’s efficacy and safety.
In the final rule, measles outbreaks in the U.S. were again highlighted. It illustrates why travelers with a rash or cough could become the subject of scrutiny and reporting to the CDC by airline and other public transportation personnel as the federal government more closely monitors almost all signs of illness in all travelers.

Will the New Rules Backfire?

Once it becomes widespread knowledge that an airline pilot or ship’s captain must report symptoms of common illness directly to the federal government, and that information could be used to immediately detain or quarantine you, there’s a good chance people may try to evade the system. Jennifer Nuzzo, a research epidemiologist at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, told NPR:10
The worst-case scenario is that people may try to evade these procedures by, say, taking medicines to reduce their fever, or be afraid to report it if they are feeling ill on a plane … We don’t want to drive cases underground by putting measures in place that seem as though they carry some penalties associated with them.

Emergency Health Measures Should Be Grounded in Science, Not Fear

While one concern is that increased surveillance of travelers by health officials could drive diseases underground, another is that overreaching power could allow people to be wrongly detained. An op-ed piece in The New York Times described the case of Kaci Hickox, who had volunteered as a nurse treating Ebola patients in Sierra Leone, West Africa.
She had no known exposure to the disease, as she had worn heavy protective gear, but upon her return to the U.S., New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie ordered her quarantined to an area hospital. This was against the current CDC guidelines, which stated she should monitor herself for symptoms at home.
“It’s imperative that whenever the next outbreak hits, emergency health measures are grounded in scientific evidence and guided by clear, fair rules to protect people from wrongful deprivation of their liberties,” the Times piece states, continuing:11
That incident wasn’t an anomaly. During a bubonic plague outbreak in 1900, for example, government officials quarantined the entire Chinatown neighborhood of San Francisco.
The quarantine applied only to Chinese residents, and lacked any scientific basis. It was fueled by little more than naked fear and racism. Given this history, we want to ensure that federal officials applying the new regulations will act on the basis of science and evidence and not on politics and public fear.

What Diseases are Covered in the Quarantine Rules?

According to the new rules, “CDC may apprehend, detain, examine or conditionally release an individual if it reasonably believes that he/she may be infected with or exposed to a quarantinable communicable disease.”12 Those diseases currently include the following:
  • Cholera
  • Diphtheria
  • Infectious tuberculosis
  • Plague
  • Smallpox
  • Yellow fever
  • Viral hemorrhagic fevers (Lassa, Marburg, Ebola, Crimean-Congo, South American and others not yet isolated or named)
  • Severe acute respiratory syndromes (e.g., SARS, MERS)
  • Influenza caused by novel or re-emergent influenza viruses that are causing, or have the potential to cause, a pandemic
However, as mentioned, the new rule also allows the CDC to step up federal surveillance of travelers displaying a number of common illness symptoms associated with non-quarantinable diseases like measles and pertussis.
Although travelers found to be infected with or at risk for being infected with a non-quarantinable disease like measles cannot be quarantined by federal health officials, state health officials do have the legal authority to detain and quarantine residents infected with certain communicable diseases, depending upon the state’s public health laws.
The final rule was originally scheduled to go into effect Feb. 21, 2017. However, with the change in administration, the new regulations are being reviewed and will not take effect until the end of March 2017, at the earliest.13

VATICAN "CONCERNED" OVER "SPREAD OF NATIONALISM, POPULISM" IN U.S. & EUROPE~LIBERALS POLITICIZE LOVE TO PUSH OPEN BORDERS

VATICAN "CONCERNED" OVER "SPREAD OF NATIONALISM, POPULISM" IN U.S. & EUROPE
BY CHRISTINE WILLIAMS
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:
 
The Vatican’s Secretary of State Cardinal Pietro Parolin said Monday that the Holy See is concerned over growing populist and nationalist movements, both in Europe and in the United States.
The Holy See has not demonstrated any such concern about jihad attacks and the Islamic supremacist incursion into the West through Hijra and the violent crimes associated with it. Where is Pope Francis’ compassion for the millions of victims of Islamic supremacists and jihadists globally?

“Vatican Expresses Concerns Over ‘Spread of Nationalism, Populism,'” by Thomas D. Williams, Breitbart, February 14, 2017:
The Vatican’s Secretary of State Cardinal Pietro Parolin said Monday that the Holy See is concerned over growing populist and nationalist movements, both in Europe and in the United States.
In an interview for the Italian evening news on the state-owned RAI network, Cardinal Parolin was asked whether the Vatican is worried about what the interviewer called “the spread of nationalism and populism not only in Europe but also in the United States with Donald Trump.”
“I think so, I think so,” Parolin said. “Certainly these closings are not a good sign,” since many of them “are born of fear, which is not a good counsellor.”
The Cardinal also recalled recent comments by Pope Francis, saying that “there is a risk of history repeating itself.”
In a lengthy interview with the Spanish daily El País in late January, Pope Francis was asked whether he was concerned about the spread of a populism that capitalizes on “people’s fears,” preaching “a message of hate.”
In his reply, Francis distinguished between a good, grassroots populism, where it is the people who are “the protagonists,” and a cult of personality where a charismatic figure like Hitler rises to power and is welcomed as a savior figure.
“For me the most typical example of populism in the European sense is the Germany of 1933,” Francis said. After Hindenburg, “Germany tries to get back up, searches for its identity, looks for a leader, someone to give it back its identity and a youngster named Adolf Hitler says, ‘I can do it; I can do it.’”
Whereas the first sort of populism is a good thing, the latter can be very dangerous, he said.
The risk, Francis said, is that in times of crisis we lack judgment and people can begin to think, “Let’s look for a savior who gives us back our identity and let’s defend ourselves with walls, barbed-wire, whatever, from other people that may rob us of our identity.”
“And that is a very serious thing,” he said. “That is why I always try to say: talk among yourselves, talk to one another.”
In the same interview, the Pope was asked specifically whether he was worried about Donald Trump, whom the interviewer described as a xenophobe filled with “hatred for foreigners.”
Francis said that the new U.S. President deserved to be judged by his actions, not by “prophecies” of what he may or may not do.
“I think that we must wait and see,” Francis said. “I don’t like to get ahead of myself nor judge people prematurely. We will see how he acts, what he does, and then I will have an opinion.”
The Pope said it is “most unwise” to be afraid of something that might or might not happen.

U.S. Bishops Welcome Blocking of Trump Travel Ban

BY ROBERT SPENCER

SEE: https://www.jihadwatch.org/2017/02/robert-spencer-in-pj-media-u-s-bishops-welcome-blocking-of-trump-travel-ban; 

republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:
 Perhaps they have a financial reason for ignoring jihad attacks on churches. 
My latest in PJ Media:
 
The temporary ban on immigration from seven Muslim countries is dead, at least for the time being, and the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) couldn’t be happier.
Bishop Joe Vasquez of Austin, Texas, who is the USCCB’s chair of the Committee on Migration, issued a statement saying:
We welcome the decision of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. We respect the rule of law and the American judicial process. We remain steadfast in our commitment to resettling refugees and all those fleeing persecution. At this time, we remain particularly dedicated to ensuring that affected refugee and immigrant families are not separated and that they continue to be welcomed to our country. We will continue to welcome the newcomer as it is a vital part of our Catholic faith and an enduring element of our American values and tradition.
By ignoring the national security issues that this “refugee” influx poses, Vazquez’s statement was sadly typical of USCCB communiqués on immigration issues. He spoke about the Church’s “commitment to resettling refugees and all those fleeing persecution,” but about those refugees who are coming in order to persecute non-Muslims, Vazquez was silent.
Is such a concern preposterous? Not at all. In 2016 alone, there were numerous incidents of Muslim migrants staging jihad attacks in the United States. In February 2016, Somali Muslim migrant Mohammad Barry stabbed multiple patrons at a restaurant owned by an Israeli Arab Christian. In September 2016, Ahmad Khan Rahami, an Afghan Muslim migrant, set off bombs in New York City and New Jersey. Arcan Cetin, a Turkish Muslim migrant, murdered five people in a mall in Burlington, Washington in September 2016. In October 2016, Dahir Adan, another Somali Muslim migrant, stabbed mall shoppers in St. Cloud while screaming “Allahu akbar.” In November 2016, Abdul Razak Artan, yet another Somali Muslim migrant, injured nine people with a car and knife attack at Ohio State University.
In all, no fewer than 72 jihad terrorists have come to the U.S. from the countries listed in Trump’s immigration ban.
What’s more, all of the jihadis who murdered 130 people in Paris in November 2015 had just entered Europe as refugees. In February 2015, the Islamic State boasted it would soon flood Europe with as many as 500,000 refugees. The Lebanese education minister said in September 2015 that there were 20,000 jihadis among the refugees in camps in his country. On May 10, 2016, Patrick Calvar, the head of France’s DGSI internal intelligence agency, said that the Islamic State was using migrant routes through the Balkans to get jihadis into Europe.
The USCCB should also take careful note of the fact that Muslim migrants in Europe are targeting Christians and churches.
In France, anti-Christian attacks have risen by 245 percent. In Germany, Muslims reportedly “devastated” a Christian parish center and wrote “Islamist slogans” on the walls. In Italy, a Muslim set fire to a church Nativity scene. Most notoriously, in France Muslims entered a Catholic church during mass and murdered the elderly priest at the altar. Shortly thereafter, Muslims entered another church in France and left a photograph of the perpetrator of the jihad massacre in Nice on the altar.
Do the U.S. Catholic bishops really think that such incidents will not or cannot happen here? They have never answered that question or even been asked it, because all discussion of this issue is immediately buried under charges of “Islamophobia.”
The USCCB’s steadfast refusal to address these issues, and strong opposition to Trump’s ban, may stem from motives somewhat less high-minded than those that Bishop Vazquez articulated….
Find out what they are and read the rest here.
