1. Ebola: Spider’s web of infection is growing as hunt continues for 30,000 ‘victims’ of outbreak
(Their title may be over the top a bit but not the issue)
Initially health officials wanted to trace only a few hundred passengers on two planes which had carried victim Patrick Sawyer, 40.
But – as Cabinet ministers held an emergency Cobra meeting in London – the search was widened to find up to 30,000 people who could be hosting the organism which kills 90% of sufferers.
2. Libya: fear of attacks by plane on neighboring countries
ANSAmed) – TUNIS – The intelligence services of countries around Libya are carefully monitoring the situation at the airport in Tripoli after an unconfirmed report claiming that Islamic armed militia are in possession of ten civilian planes.

A genuine opportunity to actually do something legal and worthwhile to fight back and with a large number of like minded good people. I look forward to the videos!

5. China says Islamist militants kill pro-Beijing imam in Xinjiang
BEIJING (Reuters) – Three suspected Islamist militants armed with knives and axes killed the imam of China’s biggest mosque in the western region of Xinjiang on Wednesday, the authorities said, days after a knife-wielding gang attacked state buildings in the same region.
All three attackers, who were named by the government, had ethnic Uighur names and the imam, Juma Tayir, was a well-known pro-government Uighur who led prayers at the Id Kah Mosque in the old Silk Road city of Kashgar.
Thank you M, Bear, Yucki, Richard, GoV, and all who took the time to send in materials. More to come. A lot more. I might ask this of regular readers and especially those who have read this site for some time, even those who disagree with my/our position on Islam to consider making a comment on the following:
What do people feel is the trend in terms of the severity and frequency of stories involving islam and its interactions with the rest of the world? How would people graph that in words? Over the past, say 3 years, has there been a trend people feel even intuitively in terms of the kinds of events that have taken place? Does there seem to be a kind of sameness across the world in terms of events muslims do? I would be interested in reading those comments. Thank you!

I repeat my lament: shoulda been fragged.
I agree, if the people serving with him had known what he was going to end up doing they probably would have.
The Islamic war against civilization has been heating up over the last three years, the attacks around the world mirror each other in intensity and violence, they are separate campaigns in a war of conquest that is intended to convert the entire world to Islam.

Tens of Thousands flock to Iran to join their Foreign Legion.
http://www.clarionproject.org/analysis/tens-thousands-shiites-worldwide-join-irans-foreign-legion
You don’t have to like the Iranians but they have a martial tradition that goes back way before Mohammad, and at times have fought with skill and discipline. They also at the moment have fairly well trained leadership and well trained and skilled leadership is half the fight.
Clarion is dynamite.
Persians have been decent allies and friends of Israel for thousands of years. I’m friends with a couple Zoroastrians. They’re here now because Iran today doesn’t like them.
Islam is universally horrible.
Shittes take off their clothes, then whip themselves and others. That’s unreal-disgusting. First time I saw that was here; if it hadn’t been from Martin, I wouldn’t have believed it.
All those scary black shrouds – those were Sunni women who threatened Jewish toddlers on the Temple Mt. They were wearing identical witch-dress, shaking 3 fingers at them: ‘We killed 3, you’re next,’ then ‘allaha Akbar’.
This is an Important Article.
Thank you
All over the world, Muslims taunt and intimidate others with
“We love death like you love life!”
So why are Gazans complaining when Israel does precisely that. They should be grateful.
Need more time to think, but right off the bat and close to home I’d say the placement of a Manchurian Candidate was a quantum leap. This lame-duck period is golden for enemies of western civilization to do their damnest.
Expect a tidal wave of new regulations after the November elections, Obama can and probably will make a suicide run to do as much damage as he can since he doesn’t have to worry about re-election.
As Caroline told her audience, Congress will have to dog his every move. This will be the most crucial Congress we’ve had since I don’t remember when.
A well-placed set of lobbies will have to keep it informed, and all of us can find those who lobby in our interests. Vets, unions, religious organizations, professional board chairmen. That’s how we get ourselves heard.
The most important ever, this is the first time we have had a President that was actively working to destroy us, even Carter and Clinton didn’t try to do as much damage as Obama has.

Tory MPs call for rethink on government Israel policy (BBC, July 31, 2014)
http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-28586760
“Prime Minister David Cameron is coming under pressure from Conservative backbenchers to take a more robust stance over Israel’s actions in Gaza.
Margot James – previously regarded as a pro-Israeli voice – has condemned its “wholly disproportionate” attacks.
And former minister Sir Peter Bottomley has written to Chief Whip Michael Gove to protest against Israel’s actions.
A Foreign Office spokesman said the government believed there had to be an unconditional ceasefire in Gaza.
MPs are on their summer break, but the BBC News channel’s chief political correspondent Norman Smith said it was clear there was growing disquiet among backbenchers.
It comes as the US government said the shelling of a UN shelter in Gaza was “totally unacceptable and totally indefensible”.
A former Conservative defence minister, who did not wish to be named, described the Israeli action as “disproportionate… unforgiveable and deliberate”.
He called on the government to adopt a much more robust and vigorous approach in challenging Israeli actions.
Sir Peter Bottomley has written to the Israeli ambassador in London to protest against the Israeli army’s treatment of Palestinians.
The letter accuses Israel of appearing to “value differently the lives of Israelis and Palestinians”.
The MP said he had handed a copy of the letter to the Conservative Party’s Chief Whip Michael Gove.
Explaining his position on the BBC News Channel, Sir Peter said: “If Israel is relying on other people to be silent, they will go on with a lack of proportionality and the devastation and the death.
“Anyone who looks at the pictures of what is going on in Gaza, which is a very enclosed area, most know that the Israelis know what they are doing – and that what they are doing is wrong. Many Israelis know it is wrong.”
Stourbridge MP Margot James, a parliamentary aide to Commons leader and former Foreign Secretary William Hague, has called on the government to “rethink” its policy, according to Channel 4 News.
In a letter to Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond, she says: “My constituents, not all of them Muslim, regard the Israeli action as wholly disproportionate to the threat posed by Hamas.
“I ask that the government rethinks policy towards the conflict in Israel and the Palestinian territories.
“The scale of suffering in Gaza is far too great, the loss of life, and particularly the lives of children and other vulnerable individuals, cannot be justified on the grounds of defence in proportion to the level of threat faced by Israel from Hamas.
“I also think that we should make it clear that it is unacceptable for Israel to just dismiss US proposals for peace without any debate whatsoever.”
Questioned about Ms James’ call for a rethink, an aide to Mr Hammond told BBC News: “The foreign secretary and the prime minister have been very clear that we need unconditional ceasefire and that needs to happen immediately.”
A Foreign Office spokesman later said the UK was “deeply concerned about the current situation” and that “all our efforts” must be focused on achieving a ceasefire.
“Israel has the right to defend itself, but must do so in a way that complies with international law,” the spokesman added.
“After a ceasefire has been agreed, we can then move to more substantive discussions on the underlying issues, including Israeli restrictions on Gaza, the conditions in Gaza and the threats to Israel from rockets and tunnels,” he said.”
Wrath,
‘Sir Peter Bottomley’ [for real?] accuses Israel of appearing to “value differently the lives of Israelis and Palestinians”.
Of course they do! They’re people who chose life over death. Explicitly.
duh.

Call for ‘radical action’ on drug-resistant malaria (BBC, July 30, 2014)
http://www.bbc.com/news/health-28569966
“Drug-resistant malaria is spreading in South East Asia, and has now reached the Cambodia-Thailand border, according to a study.
“Radical action” is needed to prevent further spread of malaria parasites resistant to key drugs, say scientists.
The spread could undermine recent gains in malaria control, they report in the New England Journal of Medicine.
No evidence was found of resistance in three African sites – Kenya, Nigeria and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The study analysed blood samples from more than 1,000 malaria patients in 10 countries across Asia and Africa.
It found the malaria parasite had developed resistance to front-line drugs known as artemisinins, in western and northern Cambodia, Thailand, Vietnam, and eastern Burma, also known as Myanmar.
There were signs of emerging resistance in central Burma, southern Laos and north-eastern Cambodia.
Of particular concern was the corner of Asia on the Cambodia-Thailand border, where resistance to other anti-malarial drugs has emerged in the past.
“Resistance is now present over much of South East Asia,” said lead scientist Prof Nicholas White, of the University of Oxford.
“It’s worse than we expected.
“We have to act quickly if we are going to do anything.”
Prof White said it might be possible to prevent further spread, but conventional malaria-control approaches would not be enough….”

Ebola crisis: WHO to announce $100m emergency response (BBC, July 31, 2014)

“The head of the World Health Organization and leaders of West African nations affected by the Ebola outbreak are to announce a joint $100m (£59m; 75m euro) response plan….
“The scale of the Ebola outbreak, and the persistent threat it poses, requires WHO and Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone to take the response to a new level, and this will require increased resources, in-country medical expertise, regional preparedness and coordination,” she said in a statement released on the WHO website on Thursday….”

Benghazi declared ‘Islamic emirate’ by militants (al-arabiya, July 31, 2014)
http://english.alarabiya.net/en/News/middle-east/2014/07/31/Libya-s-Ansar-al-Sharia-declares-Islamic-state-in-Benghazi.html
“Libya’s Islamist militant group Ansar al-Sharia has said that it seized complete control of Benghazi late on Wednesday, declaring the city an “Islamic emirate,” the group’s representative said.
Ansar al-Sharia is blacklisted by the United States over its alleged role in an attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, eastern Libya.
An official representative for the armed group told a local radio channel that Benghazi is now under its control.
“Benghazi has now become an Islamic emirate,” said Mohammed al-Zahawi, the spokesman, to Radio Tawhid.
However, Khalifa Haftar, a retired, renegade former army general who earlier this year launched a self-declared campaign to clear the city of Islamist militants, denied the group’s claims.
“The national Libyan army is in control of Benghazi and only withdrew from certain positions for tactical reasons,” Haftar told Al Arabiya News Channel.
“The claim that Benghazi is under the control of militias is a lie,” he said.
Ansar al-Sharia’s declaration comes a month after jihadist militant group Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) announced an “Islamic caliphate” over their territory….”

Gaza perverts the army’s rules of engagement
As Hamas and other terror groups blur the line between civilian and fighter, Israeli forces have to make tougher decisions than ever.
A soldier’s most basic orders — the ones that govern his behavior, distinguishing him from a marauder — are the rules of engagement. In Hebrew the language of the law is less laundered: Directives on Opening Fire. When may a soldier use his weapon and in what way?

Sure seems to be getting worse.
I’m impressed by the Left’s almost total success in making the political personal. I find there isn’t an area of my life that Leftism and the Leftist-enabled global jihad hasn’t affected, and of course for the worse: family, work, education, travel, art, entertainment, whatever. At least reading vladtepes and related blogs you have a context for the crappy things happening to and around you. People living in the world of ideas constructed by the MUG inhabit a peculiar and unreal parallel universe with its own internal logic obviously, but that has to crash down sooner or later. Maybe the way things are going it will be around their own ears instead of those of their grandchildren.
I’d go stark raving mad if all I had was processed MUG.
It will be around the ears of the peace at any cost crowd, not their grandkids. The war is spreading at an accelerating rate, one that is going to hit us much sooner then people think.
