Viral Suicide: Obama DHS Now Expediting Visa Requests From Ebola-Infected Countries
Wondering how Thomas Eric Duncan was able to enter the U.S. while suffering from Ebola? He asked for a visa and received one in August.
In fact, the Department of Homeland Security is proudly advertising its “Ebola Outbreak-related Immigration Relief Measures to Nationals of Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone Currently in the United States.”
You read that right. Not only are the Obama Democrats leaving our doors wide open to those seeking entry from Ebola-infected countries, they’re actually expediting visa requests!
Here’s a more legible version:
With a 70 percent mortality rate and an incubation period in excess of three weeks, what possible reason could the Obama Democrats have for banning travel from West Africa?
Oh, that’s right. Sorry, I forgot. They hate America.
Update: The inimitable Thomas Lifson notes that the notice “ONLY applies to nationals currently in the USA. IOW, no new arrivals. Mainly, I think to avoid kicking out people and forcing them to return to the hot zone.”
Thanking him for his note, I responded that: “…the problem with this notice is that there is no cutoff date. In other words, if I make it into the U.S. today, then I presumably still qualify.”
Consider the notice: it doesn’t say “…in the United States as of 16 August 2014…”; no, if you make it into the U.S., you can apply for an extended stay and see your request expedited. Perfect, just perfect.

By Newsmax.
The government watchdog group Judicial Watch alleged Friday the Obama administration is formulating plans to admit Ebola-infected non-U.S. citizens into the United States for treatment.
The group, which cited one unidentified source, said the administration would aim to bring Ebola patients into the United States for treatment within the first days of diagnosis, and that it’s not clear who’d pay either for the transportation or treatment.
The group alleged the plan for treatment includes special waivers of laws and regulations that ban the admission of non-citizens with a communicable disease; Judicial Watch cited its source saying the administration has not told Congress about the plan.

URGENT: Congressman Comes Forward to Show How Obama is HELPING Ebola Come to the U.S.
By Conservative Tribune.
U.S. Rep. Ed Royce sent a letter to Secretary of State John Kerry suggesting that his department take the “prudent measure” of ceasing to issue visas in Ebola-stricken countries for travel to the United States.
The chairman of the House Foreign Relations Committee said that he was “deeply concerned” to learn that the U.S. Embassies in Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone are continuing to process about 100 visa applications daily, according to Western Journalism.
“I was surprised that the Department of State has not already exercised its authority to suspend consular services,” the California Republican wrote, “which is standard procedure in countries experiencing a major security disruption.”
Royce recommended that the U.S. suspend not only visa processing, but all consular services in the three West African nations.
“This would be a prudent measure to mitigate the risk of Ebola exposure and contain its spread—a bedrock principal [sic] of health crisis management.”

World fears mount that Ebola battle being lost
By Jonathan Fowler.
The World Bank warned Friday the fight to stop Ebola was being lost, as the UN pleaded for more money to combat the escalating epidemic and global travel fears mounted.
As the death toll from the world’s worst-ever outbreak of the virus shot past 4,500, a glimmer of hope came from Senegal, which was declared Ebola-free by the World Health Organization.
The United States, meanwhile, named an “Ebola czar” to coordinate its response, after criticism of how a Texas hospital handled a Liberian victim, with two nurses who treated him now infected.
And a researcher at British pharmaceuticals giant GlaxoSmithKline said a vaccine may not be ready for commercial use until late 2016.
“We are losing the battle,” World Bank chief Jim Yong Kim warned, blaming a lack of international solidarity in efforts to stem the epidemic.

By RT.
One of the world’s biggest pharmaceutical companies says a vaccine to tackle Ebola will “come too late” to curb the current epidemic, as the UK and other European countries begin screening passengers for the virus at international airports.
GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), a British multinational that produces pharmaceuticals, biologics and vaccines, said a working vaccine would not be readily available until late 2015, by which time the epidemic may have spread far beyond West Africa.
The statement follows warnings from the United Nations and World Health Organization (WHO) that there could soon be more than 10,000 new cases of Ebola per week if the spread of the disease is not curbed quickly.
“We either stop Ebola now or we face an entirely unprecedented situation for which we do not have a plan,” said the UN’s Deputy Ebola Coordinator Anthony Banbury on Wednesday.
“The WHO advises within 60 days we must ensure 70 percent of infected people are in a care facility and 70 percent of burials are done without causing further infection,” he added.

Watchdog: Obama to bring non-American Ebola victims to U.S. for treatment
By PAUL BEDARD.
While the bipartisan voice grows to ban Ebola victims from entering the United States, a new report claims that President Obama is considering a plan to bring the world’s Ebola patients to the United States to be treated.
Judicial Watch, the conservative public watchdog group, says in a shocking report that the president is “actively formulating plans” to admit Ebola-infected non-citizens just to be treated.
“Specifically, the goal of the administration is to bring Ebola patients into the United States for treatment within the first days of diagnosis,” said the group.
