WATCH: IS A DEMON FOLLOWING OBAMA?


BREAKING NEWS. SPIRITUAL PERSPECTIVE.


“A video shows a gray figure rushing past President Obama when he was in Kenya. (Reuters)”

Jessilyn Justice, Charisma News — We already know that President Barack Obama had his own agenda when visiting Africa the last few weeks.

Despite requests from African presidents begging the U.S. politician to not discuss gay marriage, he pushed the issue anyway.

Obama even joked about taking a third term as president, which some are convinced he could do through martial law.

But now, a new video showing Obama landing in Kenya reveals something quite disturbing: A gray figure rushing by.

Author and evangelist Perry Stone took to Periscope to explain how he's also dealt with flashes that appear when recording a video.

"There are things that show up when you take a picture at times, and I'm not trying to be weird or goofy here," Stone says.

Stone doesn't want to sensationalize or read into what could be a technical glitch, a bug or out-of-focus person, but he's curious about what's going on. Cameras today, he says, can pick up light-sensitive things that someone standing right there can miss.

When footage is slowed down frame-by-frame, viewers can see what the eye missed before recording.

“(The blur) doesn't mean he’s possessed, that doesn’t mean there’s a demon on him or anything like that, but there are spirits on that part of Africa, Stone says.

Watch the video to see for yourself and let us know what you think it is.

1,000 NEW EBOLA DEATHS IN JUST TWO DAYS AS CENSORED PANDEMIC SPIRALS OUT OF CONTROL


Natural Health News And Scientific Discoveries


It’s Official: The Federal Government Has Ordered
The Mainstream Media To Stop Reporting
On Suspected Ebola Cases

J. D. Heyes, Natural News — Though it is not in the headlines much these days, the Ebola outbreak in West Africa is worsening, with the number of infected people and the number of people killed by the disease being dramatically under-reported.

In fact, as noted by Britain's The Guardian newspaper, the number of people in West Africa who have contracted the disease has risen well above 16,000, and the death toll nearly 7,000, according to the World Heath Organization, which warned that those figures are most probably low.

As further reported by The Guardian on Nov. 29:

The number of deaths is more than 1,000 higher than the figure issued by the WHO just two days ago, but it is thought to include deaths that have gone unreported in the weeks or months since the outbreak began. Most of the new deaths were recorded in Liberia.

Again, WHO officials have warned that the agency's figures are most likely being significantly underestimated. That's because reliable data from the outbreak has been spotty, at best, and totals often rise a great deal when information backlogs are cleared.

The latest confirmed figures indicate that nearly half of those who were known to have been infected with the deadly virus have perished.

Just How Many Have Died?

Moreover, the disease is beginning to seep out of West Africa. There have been a handful of cases in the U.S., and The Guardian reported that two children from Africa were tested for Ebola in Britain in recent days, but neither was found to be infected, according to officials with Public Health England. The agency went on to say what American agencies have said -- that chances of contracting the virus in Great Britain are "very low."

"The children, whose ages and names have not been released, underwent precautionary tests in Newcastle for both the virus and malaria," the paper said.

The current Ebola outbreak is the worst since the disease was discovered in 1976, and it has been centered primarily in three West African nations: Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone. The vast majority of cases thus far have come from those three nations, and there have been about three dozen cases elsewhere.

The largest number of recorded deaths has occurred in Liberia, but world health officials say the disease spread is slowing there. Now, it is spreading much faster in neighboring Sierra Leone.

Also, the African nation of Mali has begun to record infections of its population after sick Guineans crossed into the country. There have been two new cases reported in Mali in recent days.

"This outbreak has been the worst partly because it occurred in a highly mobile region, where Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone meet, and quickly spread to their respective capital cities," The Guardian reported.

Disappearing Ebola Headlines?

The dearth of information regarding the Ebola outbreak -- how wide the disease is spreading, how much at risk the world really is (including the U.S.) and how badly it is ravaging key populations -- is understandable, given the U.S. government's instructions to the mainstream media to downplay or ignore stories about the pandemic.

As Natural News editor Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, reported Nov. 6:

Natural News readers were told this two weeks ago, but now it's official: the federal government has ordered the mainstream media to stop reporting on suspected Ebola cases.

"At the urging of the Obama Administration, the Associated Press and other news outlets have agreed not to report on suspected cases of Ebola in the United States until a positive viral RNA test is completed," writes the Gateway Pundit.


"[T]he sudden departure of Ebola stories from the state-corporate media doesn't pass the smell test," reported Downtrend.com.

Obama Poised To Grant Amnesty To 11.5 million:
Only One Way To Stop This
By Allen West, —
With B. Hussein Obama, everything is about politics and the fundamental transformation of America. And so Obama felt the sincere need to reassure the radical Hispanic lobby at a gala event on illegal immigration that its members wouldn’t be disappointed.

As reported by USA Today, “President Obama reassured supporters Thursday that he will issue new orders on immigration within the next three months. “It will be taking place between the November elections and the end of the year,” Obama said during a gala for the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute. With an immigration bill blocked in the Republican-run House, Obama is reportedly considering a series of orders that would grant status to many of the 11.5 million people who are in country illegally. Obama and aides said they are delaying executive orders on immigration until after the Nov. 4 congressional elections because immigration has become such a volatile political issue.” ...

Though President Obama has simultaneously pretended that ISIS is the “JV team” of terrorism and that maintaining an open, porous border with Mexico is a humane act, the two seemingly unrelated issues are actually quite related and extremely dangerous for hundreds of millions of Americans.

In an interview with Fox News’ Greta Van Susteren, California Republican Congressman Duncan Hunter, a member of the House Committee on Armed Services, revealed that at least ten ISIS terrorists have been caught coming over the border in Texas....

Lois Lerner Tries Busting Into Neighbor’s Home To Evade Questions

By Matt Fox, Daily Surge — Lois Lerner attempted to bust into a neighbor’s home uninvited, in a desperate attempt to avoid answering questions about her involvement in the targeting of conservative groups.

Jason Mattera, author of the explosive new book CRAPITALISM: Liberals Who Make Millions Swiping Your Tax Dollars, recently caught up with the disgraced former IRS official in her ritzy neighborhood outside Washington, D.C.

Mattera, who publishes the Daily Surge, asked Lerner if she had any regrets for her role in the ongoing IRS corruption case, and if she wanted to take the opportunity to give a genuine apology to conservatives for using the force of government to harass and single them out.

But, similar to her testimony before Congress where she pleaded the fifth, Lerner didn’t show any remorse, and, on a more latent level, showed her disregard for people’s privacy rights in general. In the video above, you can see Lerner fleeing from Mattera as she rushes through what appears to be a random person’s front yard....

BOMBSHELL: Former Sec. of Defense: I Told Obama RIGHT AWAY That Benghazi Was A Terrorist Attack

In the earliest days after the Benghazi terrorist attacks, the Obama Administration ducked and dodged and claimed to be outraged over a YouTube video that was, supposedly, the cause of the violence. Rather than confront the realities of radical Islam and the dangers terrorists pose, the Obama Administration tried desperately to spin the terrorist attacks on a YouTube video that insulted Islam.

U.S. Government PATENTED Ebola! Why?

Partial Transcript: Who has the most to gain by a worldwide outbreak of Ebola? Whoever can sell a solution to the problem, right? And just who that might be? Global pharmaceutical companies to the rescue!

Who else might be interested in being perceived as a hero sent to rescue millions of damsels and dudes in distress? Big Government is here to protect you! And control you because with protection comes control.

So, here we have two huge entities supposedly here helping us from outside invaders, albeit the tiniest of enemies being single cell viruses, but just how outside are they? What if I were to tell you that one of those big ‘helper’ entities actually had a patent on Ebola? Sound farfetched? One guess which of the two big happy helpers it is, drug companies, right? …Wrong. It’s big government. Specifically The United States of America.

Before you dismiss this is far-fetched or even impossible, just run a simple free patent search under the keyword Ebola. Not only will you see that Uncle Sam owns the patent on Ebola but they also own the rights to all variations on Ebola, with the rights to all Ebola research. The official owner of this Ebola patent is: The Government of the US as Represented by the Secretary of the Dept. of Health. Essentially it is a patent issued by The United States government to The United States government....

Judges Hit With ‘Silver Bullet’ To Kill Obamacare
Full D.C. Circuit shown cardinal flaw in Obama’s signature law
By Bob Unruh, WND —
The full District of Columbia appeals court is being asked to rule on a case against Obamacare after a three-judge panel decided the U.S. Senate can initiate a tax law, even though the U.S. Constitution’s requires that all such measures originate in the U.S. House.

Western Journalism
Informing and Equipping Americans Who Love Freedom

Buckle Up: If You Thought Obama’s Presidency Was Bad Already,
It Could Soon Get Way Worse

“We are in the final two years of his presidency
(at least, we think we are).”

By L. Todd Wood, Western Journalism — All you have to do is look at the news headlines to prove my point. I have written many times on these pages that we have a Manchurian president. We unknowingly, stupidly, and willingly elected a man with an anti-American agenda.

We are in the final two years of his presidency (at least, we think we are). These two years will be the most dangerous time for America. Foreign dictators and aggressors will have even more incentive to destroy American power, take territory, infiltrate terrorists, and plot against our great country. President Obama will have only two years to enact his Leftist, anti-American, Islamist agenda.

I firmly believe that a stronger, charismatic, conservative leader is waiting in the wings for America. That is, IF we can get through the next two years. And that is a big “if”!

Today the headlines are full of information about the lack of a response from the president in regards to Ebola. Ask yourself, why is that? Why is travel not being banned from infected countries as our allies are doing, protecting their sovereignty?

I have said all along, you have to look at the results of Obama’s policies and directives, not what he says. His words speak of Ebola not entering the country, ISIS being destroyed, Al Qaeda on the run, lifting everyone up to a better standard of living, improving race relations, and so on, and so on.

The reality is we have a Muslim caliphate being stood up in the Middle East. We have the worst race relations since Jim Crow, we have Ebola infecting America, we have ISIS beheading Americans, Al Qaeda is alive and well, the economy is anemic, and inequality is worse than ever. That is the reality.

Obama has an agenda. It is a weaker America. It is an America neutered of its strong military and force of will. It is one of black against white, rich against poor, and an overwhelmingly powerful central government to control everyone’s lives. It is an unarmed America. It is a dependent America, looking to Washington for their livelihood and direction for their lives and their pocketbooks, not the church or even towards people’s own self-reliance.

Look at Venezuela and see for yourself what this kind of agenda leads to. It’s not a bright future. Yes, we are entering a dangerous two years....

Biden Gaffe Fingers Obama For Arming Jihadists?

Turkey’s Prime Minister Offers To Fight ISIS
If U.S. Helps Build A Bigger Caliphate

Davutoglu also spoke of the infamous ‘red line’ Assad allegedly crossed last year:

On the front lines of Syria’s war, Turkey is trying to dispel the idea that the United States can become involved in Syria by going after ISIS but not al-Assad.

We said chemical weapons are the red line. He used chemical weapons. What happened to him?”

We didn’t do anything.”

Who’s “we”, Mr. Davutoglu?...

Jesus Privately Briefing His Inner Circle of Disciples
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

EBOLA: INDEFINITE CITIZEN LOCKDOWN ACROSS SIERRA LEONE


Natural Health News And Scientific Discoveries


Two Million People Forced Into Endless Quarantine As Food Prices Skyrocket

Mike Adams, The Health Ranger, Editor of Natural News — High-density population areas of Sierra Leone have just been locked down in the largest pandemic quarantine in history, and it's already causing a collapse of the food delivery infrastructure. The local government says forced isolation orders will remain in effect until Ebola is eradicated. This essentially means that millions of people are now under a state of military quarantine until they either become immune to Ebola or die from it.

"President Ernest Bai Koroma put Port Loko, Bombali, and Moyamba districts under isolation with immediate effect, allowing only people delivering essential services to enter and circulate within these areas," reports Associated Press. [1] "The restrictions will remain in place until the chain of transmission is broken, officials said."

AP goes on to report:

Sierra Leone on Thursday took the dramatic step of sealing off districts where more than 1 million people live as it and other West African countries struggle to control the Ebola outbreak that has claimed thousands of lives.

The Food Delivery Infrastructure Of Sierra Leone Has Now Collapsed

The problem with quarantines is that they restrict the movement of goods and services (i.e. food, medicine, etc.) at the same time they restrict the movement of an infectious virus.

Predictably, the enforcement of quarantines across Sierra Leone have caused a collapse in that nation's food delivery infrastructure. This, of course, is causing food prices to skyrocket:

"...food prices have soared, some markets have shut and the delivery of goods has slowed," reports AP.

It's classic supply and demand, of course, and it's a universal phenomenon. That means it will also happen in the United States, Europe, Canada or anywhere else a quarantine is put into effect.

Six Harsh Lessons In The Reality Of Food Shortages And Quarantines

By observing the reality of what is unfolding in Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea, we are learning several extremely valuable lessons:

Lesson #1: The preppers have always been right

If you aren't stockpiling food supplies for your own home, community or church, you're crazy. Food shortages happen almost immediately in any quarantine scenario. The preppers have been right about this all along, of course.

Lesson #2: Quarantines halt food delivery logistics

Food deliveries require the ability of both people and transportation vehicles to move freely across a region or nation. When that freedom to remove is restricted, food deliveries cease. This, of course, results in almost immediate food shortages.

Lesson #3: If you are caught in a quarantine zone, you will not be allowed to escape, even if the pandemic gets far worse

The entire purpose of a quarantine zone is to "halt the chain of transmission" of the disease. For this reason, even healthy, non-infected people will be forced to remain in the quarantine zone indefinitely. Remember the movie "Escape from New York" with Kurt Russell? Governments will shoot those trying to escape.

Lesson #4: If food is not brought in from outside the quarantine, those inside the boundaries will starve to death

All the food deliveries into a quarantine zone are completely dependent on the government, and the government has a horrible track record of responding to any catastrophe with adequate supplies. Those who are trapped inside the quarantine zone are now at the mercy of incompetent government, and many may face starvation.

Lesson #5: Quarantines are announced without advanced warning

There is zero warning that a quarantine is going to be announced in your city or neighborhood. They are announced and enforced with a sense of military immediacy for precisely the reason that they don't want people escaping and spreading the disease! Thus, you have no chance to bug out before the lockdown goes into effect.

Lesson #6: Your plan to “bug out to a rural location is suddenly useless

Many Americans currently live in cities while maintaining bug out plans that will relocate themselves and their families to rural locations. These plans are useful in certain situations where warnings can be detected in advance, but they are useless in a sudden military quarantine. If you are caught inside the quarantine boundaries when the lockdown is announced, you’re already too late.

For this reason alone, actually living at your bug out location is a superior strategy if you have the funds to move away from the city (and leave behind the higher wages the cities offer).

By the way, I publicly predicted all this in advance in my free online audio course Pandemic Preparedness at www.BioDefense.com

Listen to the course now if you want to survive any pandemic.

DOCTORS: “IRRESPONSIBLE” TO SEND TROOPS TO “COMBAT” EBOLA


America’s Independent News Network
“A Free Press for a Free People”


Call For Quarantine, Banning Flights To U.S.
From Nations With Virus Outbreaks

Chelsea Schilling, WND —
A real-life horror story is playing out in Africa as Ebola spreads, and President Obama’s decision to send 3,000 troops to Liberia to combat the virus could very well put Americans at risk of contracting the deadly illness at home, some health experts say.

According to the World Health Organization, at least 4,985 people have contracted Ebola and at least 2,461 have died. Several doctors have fallen ill with Ebola, and two of them have died. New reports indicate a Doctors Without Borders staff member has contracted the virus in Liberia and will be evacuated to France for treatment.

“You can see that these doctors, who are highly trained people, got themselves infected,” said Dr. Lee Hieb, former president of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons. “So sending troops into an area, if they’re dealing one-on-one with a patient, they’re not going to be able to protect themselves very well. It’s not easy to [prevent transmission], because you get tired and you get careless and you make some simple mistakes. All it takes is one virus particle.”

Dr. Hieb said quarantine measures should be taken to control the outbreak and prevent Ebola from coming to America.

“You don’t get Ebola from Europe,” she told WND. “You get Ebola from Africa. And it’s a really simple formula: Don’t let people fly to America if they’ve been to areas where there’s an outbreak. When there’s an outbreak, stop air [traffic] flow.”

Hieb added, “If they’re going to use the troops to do population control, which is one of the ways you contain it, basically you just don’t let anybody out. You’d make a ring around where it is, and you’d quarantine the area.”

With quarantines in places where the outbreaks are occurring, even if a person infected with Ebola were to try to board a plane to the U.S., it would be far more difficult for them to make the journey, she explained.

“Could somebody sneak through by going to Pakistan or some place?” she asked. “Yes, potentially. Ebola comes on so rapidly, you would know it. They wouldn’t make it. We should not allow flights from nations that are having Ebola outbreaks.”


“What African troops are doing is shooting people who cross borders or violate quarantine,” Orient told WND, reacting to news of the U.S. troop deployment. “Is that what we plan to support?”
She added, “Africans are already very suspicious of us. How will they react to an army setting up hospitals?”

Orient called the planned U.S. deployment a “dubious mission,” warning that the nightmarish scenario could bring Ebola to America.

“There is definitely a risk,” she said. “It seems irresponsible to send more people there when the ones already there are having trouble leaving. Probably anyone who has been exposed should be quarantined for 25 days since the last exposure.”

Orient echoed the concerns of Elaine Donelly, president of the Center for Military Readiness, who told WND, “I’m just appalled. Judging from this, the United States seems to have a very confused vision of what ‘national security’ means.”

“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,” Donelly said. “Surely there are alternatives in the international health-care networks.”

WND also reported when retired Lt. Gen. William G. Boykin 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.

American military families will be put at greater risk, Donnelly warned.

“Here we have a ‘health war’ that could cost our troops’ health.”
