3. EXCLUSIVE: Obama Appointed Islamic Society Official To Approve Russian Uranium Sale and Gulftainer Port Deal

The Obama administration placed Aimen Nabi Mir, former two-time president of the youth wing of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), into the top advisory position to the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), a national security post at the Treasury Department.

 

Aimen Mir was the CFIUS Staff Chairperson from 2009 until 2014. During that time, Aimen Mir played a key role in the CFIUS panel’s decision to approve the sale of Uranium One to Russia’s Rosatom. Mir also played a key role in the Treasury Department’s refusal to investigate the UAE’s Gulftainer 35-year cargo container terminal lease at Port Canaveral, a critical military infrastructure facility for U.S. naval and space operations. Both decisions severely damaged United States national security.

 

Aimen Mir helped set the table for Vladimir Putin to seize control of over 20 percent of U.S. uranium and was part of the decision that awarded control of Port Canaveral’s cargo container terminal to Saddam Hussein’s rogue nuclear weapons scientist and designated Iraq War enemy combatant, Dr. Jafar Dhia Jafar.  Dr. Jafar’s brother and business partner, Gulftainer co-owner Hamid Jafar, was under investigation by the Treasury Department and four congressional committees for his ‘Oil For Superweapons” scheme in concert with Saddam Hussein.

4. TENSIONS HIGH AS ISRAEL DESTROYS PALESTINIAN TERROR TUNNEL

At least seven Palestinian terrorists were killed and 12 injured hours ago after the Israeli Army discovered a terror tunnel that extended from Gaza into Israeli territory. According to Israel’s Channel 2, eleven terrorists were killed. Most of the terrorists belonged to the Islamic Jihad group but some were affiliated with Hamas.

 

According to Palestinian sources, the tunnel was destroyed with an airstrike. Israeli sources, which are generally more reliable, claim that it was destroyed with a controlled explosion. Israel’s combat engineering units train incessantly for such scenarios and have played a key role in detecting and destroying terror tunnels. In the past two years, several Palestinian-constructed tunnels have mysteriously and inexplicably collapsed, killing dozens of terror operatives trapped inside. Palestinians have accused Israel of deploying a new weapon and the Israelis have not denied the existence of such a top-secret device.

It is a bad day for tunnel crawlers because…:

5. KIM’S DISASTER: North Korea nuclear tunnel COLLAPSES ‘killing at least 200 people’ amid fears of a massive radioactive leak

A TUNNEL at an underground North Korea nuclear site has collapsed with up to 200 people killed, according to reports.

The collapse happened at the Punggye-ri nuclear test site in the north-east of the country on October 10, according to Japan’s TV Asahi.

 

The disaster has prompted fears of a massive radioactive leak which could spark a Chernobyl- or Fukushima-style disaster.

 

A North Korean official said the collapse happened during the construction of an underground tunnel, South Korea’s Yonhap news agency reports.

Some 100 people are said to have been trapped by the initial tunnel collapse, with a further 100 lost in a second collapse during a rescue operation, Asahi reported Tuesday.

Lee Eugene, a spokeswoman at South Korea’s unification ministry, said: “We are aware of the report but do not know anything about it.”

 

The accident is believed to have been caused by Kim Joing-un’s sixth nuclear test which weakened the mountain, according to the report.

(The big question might be, was it lowly diggers who died in this? Or did Kim have his best brightest minds hiding down there from an imminent US strike. In a nuclear weapons program, people who know what they are doing are harder to refine than U238. So this could be a. self defeat for the hermit communist dictatorship.)

6. Black Death MAPPED: ‘global outbreak’ warning as NINE new countries place on high alert

The latest outbreak, which took root in Madagascar, has now killed 124 people and infected around 1,300, but scientists say this figure will definitely rise.

South Africa, Mozambique, Tanzania, Kenya, Ethiopia, Comoros, the Seychelles, Mauritius and Reunion have all been placed on high alert by World Health Organisation (WHO) monitors.

 

Experts say the deadly disease is caused by the same bacteria that wiped out 25 million people in Europe in the 13th and 14th centuries.

 

And WHO officials, who have been working with Madagascar’s Ministry of Health, warn the risk of the epidemic spreading is “high”.

Plague – a terrifying bacterial infection transmitted by fleas – is nothing new in Madagascar, where about 600 cases are reported annually.

(This one is airborne however and doesn’t seem to need fleas, and WHO officials say “there is something different about this one” but do not say what.)

This article however, explains that one of the vectors, if not the chief one, is the quaint cultural practice of Madagascar to dig up the dead and dance with them and rebury them afterwards. One might imagine this could spread disease somehow. It gives the term, “Dirty Dancing” a whole new dimension.

Madagascans have been told to stop the traditional practice of Famadihana – which sees locals dig up deceased relatives and dance with them before they are re-buried. It is feared the ceremony has helped spread an outbreak of pneumonic plague that has left more than 120 dead on the African island

  1. 5 – This is why China is now talking about Kim stopping the testing and missile launches, they are afraid that more radiation will be released to drift into China.

    1, 2 and 3 are standard operating procedures for the Obama Crime Family.

    6 – Heaven help us if the areosal spread version gets loose in Europe or North America, it would spread from one to the other quickly and the death toll would/will be staggering.

  2. 6- I’m sure the Canadian government is quite aware of this Madagascar tradition of digging up the dead for a bit of the ol’ boogie-woogie, and will be incorporating it into its Family Unification Policy. Personally, I don’t care. I just hope those Dead-beats don’t Stiff us for our taxes. (Call it Holloween humour)

  3. #6 an overview written in 2005 (no need to let current articles alarm us, when we can go back a decade to be alarmed)

    – it appears that distinct ribosomal RNA profiles of Y. pestis may evolve in short periods of time and in specific geographical areas. Isolation of new ribotypes of biovar Orientalis from Madagascar, Vietnam, and India in recent years may be explained by the modification of the original Y. pestis strain that had spread through the entire world during the third pandemic. The questions that remain to be answered are whether these new variants have acquired selective advantages in a new environment and, if so, what the nature of the advantages could be. These challenging questions need to be addressed.
    – Person-to-person transmission appears to be most likely in cold, humid environments coupled with overcrowding. Y. pestis is not considered truly airborne; person-to-person transmission requires face-to-face exposure within 2 m of a coughing and ill patient
    – Pneumonic plague can be confused with several other causes of severe and acute community-acquired pneumonia, such as pneumococcal pneumonia, streptococcal pneumonia, and Haemophilus influenza. In addition, confusion with pulmonary anthrax, tularemia, Legionella pneumophila, Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome, and influenza virus pneumonia can occur. For an early diagnosis of plague, a high index of suspicion is required in naturally occurring cases and especially when biowarfare is suspected.

  4. REEEEEE #5
    LOL,
    but honestly, can no one else see the fact that Kim dim sum, has no clue about global politics?
    He kills and feeds his own prisoners to the army. One wonders just how many nork army types are digesting their relatives in their MREs.
    But Kim some dumb was raised to be pampered, the cunt was NEVER told the word “NO!” because his parents didn’t raise him, and any nanny who said that was probably fed to the troops.

    BTW Donkeyman, this is what Kekistan is

  5. pneumonic plague is spread through the air in coughs and sneezes.
    Great, I live in a highly afrixan enriched part of London and use public transport to get around.
    Whoop tee fucking doo!

    • thanks. I hope someone with a health background can comment on how the form has changed. Take a look at the previous 3-page investigation form:
      https://web.archive.org/web/20130124075647/http://www.cdc.gov:80/plague/resources/PlagueCaseReportForm.pdf

      I see this difference for tracing contacts. Old form:
      – Is this patient’s illness associated with any other human plague cases? No Yes (specify below) Unknown
      – Did this patient’s illness result in any secondary human plague cases? No Yes (specify below) Unknown
      – Comments regarding the environmental and epidemiologic investigation (including exposures during 10 days preceeding illness onset; any travel within or outside of the United States; contact tracing of household, school/work, and community close contacts for pneumonic cases; and/or explanations from above):

  6. A link to the CDC FAQ for the ER:

    Kinda optimistic, imho, so clinicians won’t scarper.

    There’s no discussion of the aerosolized form the Soviets produced in mass quantities, suitable for conventional weapons delivery. (Or what happened to those stockpiles.)

    Nor mention of the “chimeras” they were working on: recombinant genetic constructs – the Holy Grail, so to speak. Highly transmissible, virulent, AND multidrug-resistent. [*]

    The plague bacillus looks like a good candidate for mix-&-match: exchange junk with E. coli or something, and give it a go!

    Aren't you glad we won the Cold War?

    [*]Naturally occurring, multidrug-resistent bacilli have already been identified.

    • I remember the reports about large amounts of Small Pox Virus going missing but not any about Plague germs going missing. I also remember a video of US soldiers going into a cave in Tora Bora and coming out on a dead run. Then a team in full space suits showed up and went in and stayed there for a long time. They brought several large items and left. I always figured it was some bio weapon but never heard which one.
