Obama ‘Confused’ On National Security
Condemns deployment of 3,000 troops to combat Ebola
Dr. Jerome R. Corsi, WND — (NEW YORK) President Obama’s decision to send 3,000 troops to Liberia to combat Ebola demonstrates he is confused about the meaning of national security, charges a prominent military-policy specialist.“I’m just appalled,” said Elaine Donnelly, president of the Center for Military Readiness.
“Judging from this, the president of the United States seems to have a very confused vision of what ‘national security’ means,” she said.
Donnelly said there is no question the Ebola outbreak in West Africa is a horrible “scourge on the face of the earth.”
“But whether 3,000 American troops should be sent into that area of the world to deal with that problem, I do not see the justification,” she said. “Surely there are alternatives in the international health care networks.”
As WND reported, retired Lt. Gen. William G. Boykin has charged that sending American troops to combat Ebola in Liberia is “an absolute misuse of the U.S. military.”
Donnelly emphasized it’s “not the purpose of our military.”
“I am very disappointed to see this announcement,” she said.
Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger appointed Donnelly to the Defense Advisory Committee on Women in the Services for a three-year term from 1984 through 1986. Then, in 1992, President George H. W. Bush appointed her to the Presidential Commission on the Assignment of Women in the Armed Forces.
Donnelly explained to WND her concern that the U.S. military is not designed to fight health wars.
“Our military people will show compassion in Liberia, as they always do, and they will do everything asked of them,” she said.
“Still, health wars are unhealthy for soldiers and all living things. Like oxymoronic ‘peace wars,’ such as the incursion into Bosnia, deployments such as this put our troops in causes having little impact on America’s national security,” she said.
Families At Risk
American military families will be put at greater risk, Donnelly said.
“Here we have a ‘health war’ that could cost our troops’ health.”
She also expressed concern that with recent cutbacks, the military will be stretched dangerously thin to fulfill a new mission combating ISIS in Iraq and Syria while simultaneously fighting Ebola in West Africa.
“The demands on our military are very great right now, especially with what is going on with ISIS,” she noted.
But she insisted there “would not be a good time at any time to do this sort of thing.”
“This is not the purpose of our military,” she said. “I think we ought to consider morale in the armed forces, the effect on our men and women in uniform who volunteered to serve. I am concerned this decision will affect recruitment and retention – everything it takes to make an all-volunteer force strong.”
She elaborated on the health risk.
“Our troops sent to Liberia will be in danger of contracting the disease because our troops are eager to help and have good intentions entering a crisis,” she said.
“But our troops will be at risk if they don’t have the type of hazardous-material equipment protections we see when one doctor infected with Ebola is brought back from West Africa to a hospital within the United States. And if the troops become infected, there is risk not only to the soldiers, but also to their families when they return to the United States. This seems to me to be a risk that is not justified, and I think the president should reconsider.”
‘Mission Too Far’
Several times in the interview, Donnelly expressed concern that Obama made the decision casually, without fully thinking through the implications.
“This is a mission too far,” she stressed.
She noted the Veterans Administration is struggling already.
“How is the VA going to take on new health risks from fighting Ebola, including new forms of Post-Traumatic Stress Syndrome our soldiers our going to incur fighting a deadly disease in a country where the people live in abject poverty?” she asked.
As the interview concluded, Donnelly returned to her concerns about morale.
“We have an all-volunteer force, and this action will be demoralizing to our troops,” she stressed.
“Vertical cohesion – the bond of trust between the commander-in-chief and the troops that the president leads – is at risk her,” Donnelly said.
“The troops will serve the commander-in-chief because they are selfless by nature and they want to serve their country. But there comes a point where vertical cohesion breaks down, and fighting Ebola in West Africa may be just what it takes to push an all-volunteer force to the breaking point, especially when the U.S. military is stretched thin, as it is today.”

Michelle Obama’s Visit To Hospital Trumps Parents Ability To See Their Cancer Stricken Kids
By Jennifer Burke, Tea Party News Network (TPNN) —
Michelle Obama visited St. Jude Research Hospital on Wednesday. The Secret Service had the entire area on lockdown and, as a result, parents were prevented from seeing their sick children, who are receiving treatment for cancer and other life-threatening diseases. Because of Michelle’s visit, both parents were not allowed to visit their children on Wednesday. That meant that some parents would be alone rather than with their spouse when detrimental...Obama And Rabbis
By Tsvi Sadan, Israel Today —
Many rabbis harbor a deep and unusual distrust of Obama. Rabbi Yitzhak also views Obama as a Christian Muslim, and as such a representation of both Edom (a euphemism for Christianity) and Ishmael (Islam), Israel's two arch enemies. Obama's presidency therefore will be characterized by dangerous anti-Israel policy that has the potential to bring about Israel's destruction. This danger, says Rabbi Yitzhak, can be averted by the repentance of...Senate Next After House Backs Obama On Rebel Aid

THE EBOLA DEATH ZONE?
By Michael Snyder, End Of The American Dream —THE EBOLA DEATH ZONE?
When there is a major problem somewhere in the world, Barack Obama loves to show that he is “doing something” by sending a contingent of U.S. troops to the affected area. But is it really wise for Obama to send thousands of young American men and women into the Ebola death zone? What are our troops going to do – shoot the virus? Of course not. The UN already has 6,000 uniformed peacekeepers in the region, and they are not doing much good...Former Navy Seal: 90% of Troops Do Not Support the President

In an interview with Greta Van Susteren, former Navy Seal Carl Higbie said a vast majority of troops disapprove of Barack Obama. Greta played a clip of Obama speaking at U.S. Central Command in Florida with U.S. service members as a backdrop behind him. She then asked Higbie whether or not this was a photo-op for the president or was it effective speech. “Effective today, the president? A photo-op? Or something in between?” Susteren asked...Nowhere To Hide As Minority Report-Style Facial Recognition Technology Spreads Across America

By Heather Tomlinson, Christian Today —
Kurdish forces recaptured seven Christian villages yesterday from ISIS militants in Iraq, in the latest apparent setback for the vicious regime. Tens of thousands of Christians and other minorities were driven from their homes by the Islamic State militants this year, and threatened with death if they did not pay a bribe or convert to Islam. This has prompted Western support for the local Kurdish army, which is fighting against the ISIS advance...ISIS’ Apocalyptic Magazine Vows To Attack Israel, US Troops As It Conquers Persia, Rome And Arab States

“Flu Vaccines are safe, right? Doctors recommend them, pharmacies push them, and certain jobs require their employees to get flu shots. It’s all the talk during cold and flu season. “Have you gotten your flu shot yet?” Flu vaccines for students, employees, the elderly, pregnant woman. Flu shots protect yourself and others (pause) right?
Tests on an influenza vaccine FluLaval made by GlaxoSmithKline revealed a shocking level of toxic mercury over 25,000 times higher than the maximum allowable levels in drinking water set by the EPA, landing at 51 parts per million. Effects of Mercury include but are not limited to:
mood swings, nervousness, irritability, and other emotional changes, insomnia, headache, abnormal sensations, muscle twitching, tremors, weakness, muscle atrophy, decreased cognitive functions, skin rashes and inflammation, dermatitis, renal damage, peripheral vision impairment, speech impairment, hearing, impairment, stinging or needle-like sensations in the extremities and mouth, loss of coordination, high blood pressure, endometriosis.
Mercury injected into the body is far more toxic than Mercury ingested orally as it is absorbed directly into the cells, and yet, with each flu shot, a person is receiving 25,000 times what the EPA has deemed to be safe.
Here are some facts from the package insert you may want to be aware of:
"There have been no controlled trials adequately demonstrating a decrease in influenza disease after vaccination with FluLaval." Really? They have no evidence that there is a decrease in influenza disease after vaccination?
A scientific study published in The Lancet reveals that influenza vaccines only prevent influenza in 1.5 out of every 100 adults who are injected with the flu vaccine. Why go and get injected with Mercury and other neurotoxic chemicals in order to be 1.5 percent less likely to get the flu?
We are led to believe by propaganda that flu shots are 100% safe and offer necessary protection from the flu, but they readily admit the vaccine has never been subject to clinical trials regarding efficacy. Which leads us to our next point.”...

WATCH Bill Gates Say Vaccines Can Help Reduce World Population
He says: “The world today has 6.8 billion people... that’s headed up to about 9 billion. Now if we do a really great job on new vaccines, health care (Obamacare... denial of health care, eugenics), reproductive health services (Abortions), we could lower that by perhaps 10 or 15 percent.”

Jesus Privately Briefing His Inner Circle of Disciples
Regarding The Last Days
Regarding The Last Days
“And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows. Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.” ~ Matthew 24:3-14
