I PREDICTED EBOLA IN THE UNITED STATES-AND  IT'S NOW HERE

THE KUHNS REPORT

LAS VEGAS - Hello America, and how is the world treating you?

As I predicted, the Ebola is let loose on America. When the U.S. brought back the Ebola infected doctor for treatment weeks ago I said that it was a stupid move and  would be the beginning of the end, allowing the Ebola to get a strong foothold in the United States. Folks, my prediction came to pass. Since the first Ebola infected doctor, there have been several others brought back to the USA, courtesy of  our government. I also predicted that some ignorant or incompetent health care worker would allow the Ebola to escape notice - - that happened.

Just the other day an infected man FINALLY identified as Thomas Eric Duncan was treated at the Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital. Believe it or not this  man carrying the deadly disease was sent home with antibiotics by, you guessed it - - an incompetent nurse, who even knew the man came in from Liberia, the place where thousands died from Ebola. However, the nurse still ignored the situation.  Then, he was readmitted and it was discovered Duncan  contracted Ebola. Currently it is estimated that Duncan came into contact with more than ONE HUNDRED people outside and inside the hospital. What does an official from the hospital say?  Mark Lester said: " Regretfully, the information wasn't communicated throughout the full team." REGRETFULLY? Come on! Other officials at the hospital said: "WE DROPPED THE BALL." Really? And, this was a hospital, like many others who said they trained for the event of accepting an Ebola infected patient. The hospital was supposed to have strict protocols in place and trained staff  were to be on the ready. Wow!

Ebola's generally take 21 days for its symptoms to appear and with that in mind I say that an extremely high vigilance is required when caring for patients with the disease. I also maintain that even the "smallest" lapse in infection control will allow the accidental spread of the virus to health staff. For example: a nurse or health care worker touching their face and or eyes with gloved hands that came into contact with an Ebola victim can  clearly contract the virus. In the  first case in the U.S., Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital failed miserably and that should be a wake up call for the government to set down a specific protocol that every hospital and health care worker in the country has to follow. This idea of each hospital setting their own guidelines is unacceptable.

News Flash! People. The U.S. Health officials said the country's  health care system was well prepared to contain any spread of Ebola. Who are they kidding, folks? Even the CDC officials tell the public that there is nothing to worry about - -they have it under control. What? This is the agency that had events mishandling  small pox and anthrax.  That certainly doesn't give me great confidence in believing what the CDC says.

As I am writing this the radio news  just reported that a FOURTH AMERICAN has come down with Ebola. He is a 33- year -old photo journalist employed by one of the major networks. However, the U.S. is again bringing the infected person back on American soil. I am totally against this procedure. I have always said the infected people should be treated outside of the United States.  Why? For one, there are quite a number of mobile units  equipped and manned by professional health care providers from the United States that are capable of treating the Ebola patient in the countries where the disease is centered. Now, we have still another case reported in Washington, D.C., where they suspect Ebola. And it has been reported that the former Ebola patient Dr. Richard Sacra who was treated at an Omaha, Nebraska hospital for weeks and cleared by the CDC has again been readmitted to  UMass Memorial Medical Center for upper respiratory problems. Can you see the effect of bringing the Ebola  patients to America for treatment? It clearly appears there is poor screening of persons coming in from Liberia and Nigeria, Guinea, Sierra Leone and West Africa. And that poor screening seems to pour over here in the U.S.  Is it time to halt flights from those countries? It's a thought.

Should the Ebola patients be identified? My view is that the U.S. Government should identify, by name, age, gender  and address each Ebola patient. I submit that the general public has the " right to know" who they may come in contact with, for their own protection. The general public should have the choice of choosing who they associate with. Full disclosure, transparency is the watch word. Not secrecy. I say when the government, the CDC and other health facilities cloak the identity of Ebola patients they are knowingly putting the public at risk. As a note, just today, the health District an officials in Dallas moved Mr. Duncan to an UNDISCLOSED LOCATION.  That's wrong. Tell Americans where the guy is.

The question of suspending flights to and from afflicted countries should also be addressed. A possible visa ban on travelers from those countries should be considered.  When Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the  National  and Infectious  Diseases was asked  about the travel bans he quickly and abruptly said: "absolutely not." His reasoning: He said- " When you start closing off countries like that, there is a real danger of making things worse." He went on to say:  " You can cause unrest in the country." "It's conceivable  that governments could fall if you just isolate them completely."

I disagree with Fauci. His logic is silly. Nations and countries will FALL because of a travel ban? Ridiculous? Here's my take on travel bans. They  should be imposed. Why? because NO ONE is closing off any country completely as Fauci's scare tactics imply. On the contrary we are treating people in those countries. Come on!  It's  just a travel ban. His idea of  a visa ban causing unrest in the country is also overblown. Another scare tactic. These countries already  have unrest and wars raging as well as  having thousands of cases of Ebola present. It is nothing but prudent and common sense to impose a visa ban. Considering Ebola is a is disease which is "lethal" NINETY (90%) of the time, action is needed - -not words and posturing.

Already the United States is in those countries fighting the Ebola virus and president  Obama, just within ht last 24 hours said he will  send money and heath care workers to those countries to combat Ebola, at the source, in those countries where it is active. These actions will only encourage the people in those countries to be treated by American doctors and health care workers.

I think people like Dr. Fauci , Dr. Tom Frieden, Director of the CDC, and officials of the government want to play the political correct game by saying it's okay to allow  possible afflicted  people with a  deadly disease to freely come and go in America.  My view,  it is nothing  but good simple logic to want to protect our borders and the  public health of all Americans. I don't believe it is alright to allow  any possible infected people with a deadly disease to come and go as they see fit.  Infected patient Duncan is a poster child for visa bans and flight restrictions. This guy "knowingly" LIED to cover his illness so he could fly around the globe and go about his business with a total disregard for other humans. And, it didn't stop there. His family in Dallas refused to comply with health officials  requests to stay home. It took guard to enforce that request and order.

It  seems very easy for these official types to play Russian Roulette with the lives of American citizens. But I would offer that since we have   numerous health professionals on the ground (boots on the ground, so to speak) in  those countries, the first priority by our government should be to protect American citizens and that is by suspended flights and visa bans. Would any of us, including Dr.,Fauci, president Obama , Dr. Frieden and all of these political correct nanny's  let someone into their house who they knew had a disease which could decimate their entire family?  I think not. And, allowing possible  infected people from their home (THEIR COUNTRY of ORIGIN) into our home (AMERICA) is ludicrous. Side note: Where the hell is congress? They should be imposing flight suspensions and travel visa bans as we speak.

Do you really think that the government and/or health officials would take responsibility if you or your family members contracted Ebola from coming in contact with this man or any other infected Ebola person? The answer is, "NO."  They are in all likelihood using the excuse of  "patient privacy" however, I would suggest it is a matter of public health and public protection." There is no real reason to cover up. They should pin point who has Ebola and where those people are located. Officials are always first to say they are looking out for "all" of us and " it's in the interest of public health"  (i.e), smoking, drinking, what foods and drinks we can consume, etc. ( a nanny government) but when it comes to deadly diseases like Ebola, AIDS/HIV and others they quickly say they are "protecting the patient."  Ebola is one of the  "deadliest" diseases known to medicine but  simple protocols and safe guards are ignored or over looked by  health care workers here in the USA. Go figure.

The CDC and government officials continue to say that there is nothing to be alarmed about when it comes to Ebola but based on their track record I think there is quite a bit to be worried about. Also, if you notice, any reports in the news media (newspapers, Internet, radio, television, etc.), the officials are always telling the public there is nothing to fear, they have it under control . What else would they, or could they say? They paint a "happy face" on all reports and sing the Kumbaya song.

Do you readers really believe that the government officials and agencies would tell you that they let a lethal, fatal disease loose on the public? It is only after the fact, when they get "caught" that they say they made an error. Thank God for the Press and journalists that go after the real stories.

Right now, relatives of Duncan, the infected Dallas Ebola patient are quarantined in their house with guards making sure they don't leave and come in contact with other people. I  give the health providers credit where credit is due and this was a good move. And, get this - - these relatives of Thomas Duncan DID NOT WANT TO COMPLY with the request to stay home. They refused to stay home. That was the reason for the guards. That goes to show you how people think and have no consideration for public health.  The relatives  could possibly be infected with the deadly disease but they wanted to go out among the public  anyway. The  officials need to "contact trace" meaning observing anyone who came in contact with Duncan for symptoms such as high fever and if symptoms occur the person has to be put in isolation. Yet, this family didn't want to cooperate with authorities. In fact, Mr. Duncan himself lied on an airport questionnaire in Liberia, because he said he HAD  not cared for an Ebola patient or touched anyone who had died from the disease, according to the Associated Press. That again proves my point that people who can and may carry a fatal, deadly disease which could decimate humanity will LIE to cover up. According to Liberian officials they intend to prosecute Duncan for his lies and cover-up. I  would agree with their decision.

Supposedly any people that comes in contact with an infected Ebola person is quarantined for three weeks, beginning on the last day they had that contact. I disagree with that policy. I think it is too short a time.

Also, fair to mention. What about the bed sheets, mattress, clothes, utensils, tooth brushes, towels, wash clothes etc. that an infected person may have used, before being hospitalized? I have no doubt that relatives of Duncan came in contact with those items. What is proper disposal? Who really knows what is proper disposal? As I stated before in an earlier article/blog I believe  such items should be incinerated, burned. Why? Because of body fluids of the infected patient.  Saliva, diarrhea, urine, vomit,  even sweat, can transfer the disease. That's scary, people. Good hygiene is often neglected by persons in the general population. For example, many actually use the  restroom and  continually fail to wash their hands before leaving the facility. I need not mention the thousands of studies that have shown feces, urine, vomit and other body fluids found on door knobs, restaurant menus, typewriters, computers, etc.... and the list goes on.

Folks, do you see how easy it was  to let this monster loose in America? The arrogance and know it all attitude of some in the health field and government never ceases to amaze me. When the decision was made to bring the first Ebola patient back to America we were told there is no way Ebola  would get loose. We were told that the patient would be treated at a very secure facility completely equipped to handle this one case. Now there are Ebola patients being treated throughout America at numerous heath care facilities. The chance of the fatal disease being multiplied is now out there.

People, I say, and predict again, like in Dallas, there will be a health care provider and/or worker who will make an error, miss the diagnosis, mishandle the case because of incompetence and allow the deadly disease to spread in to the general population.

Further, I say that all Ebola patients should be quarantined in a facility for  at least six months to a year because no matter how much these  medical/health people and agencies say they got it down, that their on top of it,  and that they know all about Ebola and they know how to treat it,  is a joke.

I maintain that there is quite a bit of unknowns that come  along with Ebola. Like AIDS/ HIV the health organizations and community are at a loss for a cure and ignorant to the possible of the long term  effects that may result down the road in these infected patients. The heath professionals that treated  the first few patients here in the United States and claimed victory and said those  infected people were CURED is living in a dream world.

Just a simple example,- A person gets Chicken Pox. That person is treated but a virus lays dormant in the persons system for years, even decades,  and then , one day, the person comes down with the painful and sometimes deadly Shingles. Another example could be likened to Arthritis, A person at a young age, even in their teens has Arthritis in their body . No one really knows why. However it lies dormant in the body and then,  years or decades later comes to the forefront, crippling the person. Folks, there are many diseases that afflict millions of people around the world that later manifest itself years or decades later.

Remember, CDC officials and  Mr. Lakey said: " Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital was one of the most sophisticated hospitals in America." They went on to say: "  They've done a lot of education related the the preparedness for Ebola. Lakey also said: " Unfortunately connections weren't made related to travel history and symptoms."  Again excuses after the fact. It appears everything is "UNFORTUNATE" when incompetence, errors and ignorance allows a killer disease loose on the public. I submit that if, indeed, this hospital was prepared the staff and administrators would not have allowed the man to leave the hospital with only antibiotics to treat a cold or flu. They would have clearly recognized the problem and treated it accordingly. They did not! They failed! Fact:  There was even  a FIVE DAY delay in any removal of soiled items and materials from the apartment Duncan was living even after he was hospitalized. I say that was still another official blunder. The word is  that Judge Clay Jenkins, Dallas County top Administrative official went to the apartment with two epidemiologists to apologize for the delay. Again, an incident " after-the-fact" that shows how willy-nilly Ebola is being handled. Apologizes and news bites with the media people to get face time is not what Americans need. We need action. Action speaks much louder than words.  That misstep allowed  relatives and family to be exposed to the disease.

People, it's actions such as these that prove my point of  how easy it is to have a total screw up by staff. So don't tell me that the CDC and the health care community has the Ebola disease under "control"  and can "assure" the public they can contain the virus like  Zachary Thompson, director of Dallas County Health and Human Services claims.

To substantiate my view and opinion I would like to say that Reuters news service claimed they interviewed nurses, some from Chicago who clearly say that:  we are not prepared for Ebola in America. The " Texas case is a perfect example," said Micker Samios, an emergency triage nurse at Medstar Washington Hospital Center, the largest hospital in the nations capital. It appears nurse Samios and other nurses agree with me that there was a flaw in diagnosis in addition to communication errors.

Here's some frightening figures:  A survey by  National Nurses United of 400  nurses in more than 200 hospitals in 25 states found that  SIXTY (60%) PERCENT said their hospital IS NOT prepared to handle patients with Ebola. EIGHTY-TWO (82%) said they were not trained to handle Ebola cases,they  didn't have the proper equipment such as gowns, masks and protective gear nor training in proper disposal and handling techniques of an infected patients contact materials. It's like Obama saying: "We under estimated" the conflict and battle in Iran and  Syria. I submit that government, CDC,  and health administrators are certainly under estimating this devastating, lethal disease.

So as I predicted early on: I said the Ebola disease would be released in the USA and  that prediction came to pass. Mark my words - -as long as the government and health officials continue to play the game of cover-up, non-disclosure and secrecy regarding Ebola patients this situation can and will only get worse. And, that's my opinion. Make your own decisions. You decide.

USA MILITARY ACTION IN  IRAQ?  OBAMA DOESN'T GET IT.

THE KUHNS REPORT

Hello America, and how is the world treating you?

President Obama is sending more "military advisers" to Iraq and he says he may have to use more military options to quell the unrest in Iraq. Another dumb move by Obama in the war that was called  the"dumb war."

Folks, Obama is oblivious to what's happening around the world. I think he makes his foreign policy decisions by a hands raised vote from a small group of people advising him. Here's a guy that never even had a lemonade stand, held a legitimate  job in his life and did  not serve in the military. He was thrown into the presidency because he  was articulate and gave a  good speech at a convention. Once he  was sworn in he didn't keep many of his promises to the country and many people call him a liar, and some polls rate him as the "worst" president since 1945.

I should say, I voted for Obama the first time around. I believed  the country needed a change. However, he couldn't stand up to the job. He bombed out as a president and the second time around I voted for Romney and voted against each and every incumbent in office. I wanted to see "new blood in Washington. I wanted a whole new turnover - -but, as luck would have it, the voters put all of the same old incumbents right back into office. They didn't change any of those 10 and 20 term  lawmakers. What a disappointment that was to me.

Obama's  new military mission in Iraq is a continuation of the Iraq war fiasco which NEVER should have started in the first place. Because of the United States meddling in the Iraqi system of government we are being sucked in, deeper and deeper. Hell, this is about the third go round. But remember, Iraq was attacked  at least a dozen times or more over the decades by other countries and it didn't change the culture embedded there.

Obama is throwing money and military might back into Iraq and he doesn't really know who is fighting among themselves in that country. There are so many different faction and religious groups trying to get a foot hold in Iraq there is no "one" group that is recognized. We have the Sunnis , the Shi'ites, the Kurds, the Yazidi and who knows what other groups will show up.  It has been that way for centuries in Iraq.  The people residing in Iraq know what groups they want to belong too and they themselves know how to segregate themselves into different areas and enclaves that they understand. The Iraqi people have been living "their way" for millenniums.

It is not for us, the United States, to interfere and tell the Iraqi people how to live, what governments to form, what to believe,  and what groups should be in power at any given time.

Obama and his ilk never learn from the past. Instead he and his friends are hell bent on forcing different cultural beliefs down the throats of the Iraqi people. I submit Iraq will never, ever be a democratic nation and/or society in any shape or form.

Iraq has never really been conquered by any outside power over the centuries because the Iraqi people know how they want to live - - and just because we built one of the largest, most expensive,luxurious, Embassies in  the world on Iraqi soil doesn't mean we have a democratic foothold in that country. On the contrary, I predict many of the Iraqi people resent our embassy being there.

My suggestion: Get out of Iraq. Obama, remove any and all U.S. military personnel from Iraq. Let the Iraqi people fight it out among themselves. Whatever group comes out on top, (after fighting it out on their own -- without our military assistance)  is the government we deal with, if they want to deal with the United States.

Right now, Obama is just using military force in Iraq killing people from various groups. not knowing who is who. All he's doing is having the military perform an exercise to sharpen and keep out military in shape. He's playing "whack a mole" with the recent air strikes.

I submit Obama and many in Congress couldn't tell you who is the enemy and who are the good guys in Iraq. Hell, it was Obama who put  Al Maliki into power as President in  the first place. Now, all of a sudden he's our enemy and Obama is backing another to head Iraq. So, you see --it's the USA's meddling in Iraq politics that brought Iraq to the state it is in today. Remember when Saddam Hussein was OUR FRIEND? We supported him for years too. Then believe it or not MONEY and OIL became the name of the game and  our big MONEY OIL corporations wanted a piece of the  action and suddenly, Saddam was our enemy, a bad, guy.

I would submit that Iraq was much better off under Hussein that it is now. And I would bet that many Iraq people would agree with my assessment. But GREED, MONEY and OIL caused the demise of Iraq, under the guise of  the USA is going to make the country a Democratic nation. I say it will never happen. - And, that's m y opinion. Make your own decisions. You decide.

WAR CRIMES! CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY! THE U.S. DOES IT.

THE KUHNS REPORT

Hello America, and how is the world treating you?

Amnesty International recently reported that U.S. Forces who have killed and/or tortured Afghanistan civilians has not been brought to justice because of failures in the U.S. Military Justice system. At least 1800 Afghanistan civilians have been killed and/or tortured by coalition  troops from 2009 to 2013.

The U.S. Military most often fails to hold U.S. military people for unlawful killings accountable. There have been cases where U.S.  soldiers broke into Afghanistan houses arrested the male adult and shot and killed the wife, children and other relatives. Another case reported  where 18 people were tortured and killed when U.S. Special Forces broke into a house, stripped the clothes off everyone in the residence, their legs were stretched out and they were beaten, then killed, and put into black body bags in front of an elderly man who witnessed the acts.

It appears that evidence of "WAR CRIMES" by U.S. soldiers is ignored by the Defense Department, the White House and many in Congress. I have always said that the U.S. and specific soldiers who commit the crimes  should be held accountable for  "war crimes" just like we hold soldiers and leaders from other countries accountable.

Folks, thousands of Afghans have been killed or injured by U.S. soldiers but the injured cannot receive any recourse. That's wrong. One of the major reasons for not holding Americans  accountable for torture and killing is because the administration and our  Congress force the invaded countries to sign "agreements" that the U.S. soldiers will not be held accountable for their atrocious acts of torture and killing.

The U.S. basically threatens the country with such things as withholding American foreign aid, military assistance and protection if the invaded country does not sign the agreement. The
administration and Congress  want all U.S. soldiers to be exempt from any war crimes.  The sad part of this is: Many other alleged allies of the U.S. go along with this policy.


It is disgusting that the U.S. and  it's allies fail to agree to be held accountable for "war crimes" and "crimes against humanity" but have no qualms about accusing other foreign countries leaders and soldiers of committing these crimes. Talk about hypocrisy, the U.S. and certain allies are the poster child for it.

The leaders of the world have the court in the Hague to prosecute war crimes and they are more than willing to imprison and execute leaders and soldiers from different countries who are accused of  such heinous crimes (with the exception of the United States and a select group of U..S. allies).

Think back on Abu Ghraib and the torture and prisoner abuse that occurred. Was the USA held accountable? Not really. Hell,  stripping prisoners, beating them, water boarding - - and other horrific crimes, yet a couple of low ranking soldiers were said to be held accountable. What a joke! Remember, we prosecuted and held the Germans and  Japanese accountable for  doing what we, the USA did at Abu Ghraib and the world sat on the sidelines like the three little monkeys -- see no evil, hear no evil,  and speak no evil. I suggest the U.S.and some of it's allies like to "rationalize" their evil deeds and condemn others who commit the same atrocities.

Right now, look what's going on between Israel and Gaza. It is clear that "war crimes" and  "crimes against humanity" have been committed but do you really think the world, especially the U.S.  will hold Israel accountable? If you do, I'll sell you a bridge in Brooklyn. - And, that's my opinion. Make your own decisions. You decide.

RIOTS IN MISSOURI. IT'S AN OUTRAGE. IT SHOULDN'T HAVE  HAPPENED.

THE KUHNS REPORT

Hello America, and how is the world treating you?

Riots in the streets, AGAIN. A shooting in Ferguson, Missouri by a policeman  that killed 18-year-old Michael Brown caused the black community to go on a rampage and vandalize, loot and steal from stores and businesses in the city. Why?

Instead of  a peaceful protest and waiting to see what results come out of a police and FBI investigation and allow the legal system to handle the matter, the people chose to break into stores and businesses and steal valuables from those establishments and burn at least one building to the ground. So far there had been TWO nights of rioting.  That's uncalled for.

The businesses and stores that were vandalized, broken into and had merchandise stolen had nothing whatsoever to do with the shooting but yet it appears the black community just needed an excuse to rob, steal and burn.

The sad part of the rioting is police and law enforcement  stood around and watched the damage and thefts that these innocent business owners incurred and did NOTHING. Laws were being broken and law enforcement allowed it to happen. That's WRONG! The police and whatever other law enforcement agencies were present should have stopped the looting. I submit,  police are to PROTECT AND SERVE the citizens of their communities. They clearly didn't protect and serve the citizens that had their businesses looted in front of their eyes.

During the second day of the uncalled for riots  some in the community called for calm but they shouldn't have had to ask for calm. There shouldn't have been a RIOT in the first place.

I'm disgusted that the police officers and law enforcement in Missouri are playing the political correct card by standing by allowing rioters to loot honest, abiding store owners.  Just because blacks choose to loot and riot is no excuse for the  police inaction of stopping the looters.

I see a trend occurring over the years. Ever since the WATTS RIOTS in Los Angeles, the black community has been given a pass to go on a rampage when they feel one or more of their community was wronged. I was living in Compton, California during the Watts riots. I saw the building being burned down, the looting, the stealing, the cars set on fire. There was no need for the black community to do such damage, but since then, every time there is a major conflict with police and a black individual in cities across the country the black community responds by looting and burning. I view it as  the black community seeing it a  "given"- (i.e) Police shooting equals looting  and burning. They feel they have that right and/or privilege . It shouldn't be that way.

I suggest that if the police/law enforcement in Ferguson has stopped the vandalism, looting and riots from the get -go those rioters would know that such acts of disobedience and violations of the law would not be tolerated. Arrests should have been and force met with equal force.

I fault the police in the cities that allow the riots to occur. When they just stand by and watch lawbreakers  rob and destroy they are enabling the rioters and enforcing the idea in the rioters minds that it's okay to rob, steal and burn an innocent business establishment "because we did it before and nothing happens.. - And, that's my opinion. Make your own decisions. You decide.

WAR MONGERING USA:  LET THE IRAQI'S FIGHT THEIR OWN BATTLES.

THE KUHNS REPORT

Hello America, and how is the world treating you?

Obama and his cohorts are stepping in it again. He decides to use military action in Iraq. The Iraqi military was trained by the USA to defend their own country. We spent well over 25 BILLION DOLLARS training the Iraqi military to fend for themselves, yet when there is conflict between different religious sectarian factions in the country the Iraqi military members throw  down their weapons and run telling their President that they cannot defend their country. Wow! Then the Iraqi government cries and boo hoo's to the United States asking us to  pull their fat out of the fire and defend their country.They want us to fight their battles for them,  AGAIN.

Folks, we withdrew our forces from Iraq in late 2011, after more than EIGHT YEARS of war, which WE should NEVER have started. Now, here we are again, fighting the war that was called "the dumb war" by legislators, lawmakers and well placed people in the United States. Just yesterday our military began shelling factions in Iraq. Obama says he is protecting Americans and civilians. Really? First of all Americans shouldn't be there. The only Americans we should be protecting in Iraq is the personnel who is stationed in the over-the-top , lavish, enormous Embassy the USA built in that country. And to my knowledge no one has attacked the U.S. Embassy in Iraq. As to protecting civilians against the militants -- I say that is the job of the Iraqi military, not ours.

The Obama administration will do anything to provoke, agitate and stir up conflict to drag out wars around the globe. Remember people, this was the guy that ran for President, bad-mouthing the Iraq war. He shouted from the rooftops that the United States should not have went into Iraq and that he would immediately bring all troops home if he became president. Now, he's a war monger who relishes the fact that he can play war with the lives of Americans.

To back his plays he contacts the UK, France and other nations and makes deals with them so they will give him some sort of credibility when he begins a military action. What a joke!

Imagine how much money it is costing the United States to engage in this military action. A BILLION here, a BILLION there means nothing to this administration. If they need more money they go to the printing presses and just print more. What a shameful practice. We have spent more money and acquired more debt under president Obama than other administrations put together.

This military move into Iraq again is nothing more that a distraction from the  many problems we have here at home. When Americans have problems in the USA, the administration starts a military action or a war, to take our mind off of the troubles  across the nation.

I suggest we stop these looney-tune military strikes and let the Iraqi's fight their own battles. The only assist the USA, or any other country should provide is food and water drops to the Iraqi people. I support that, and only that.

These different factions and groups in Iraq have been fighting among themselves for CENTURIES. That won't change and we, the USA should not choose sides and manipulate the Iraqi people.

It appears that after the USA spent BILLIONS of dollars training a military force to work and defend their own country the Iraqi government wants the United States to come to their rescue forever and be their guardian and caretaker.

I can't understand why our administration start wars and initiates military actions in other countries, gives those governments billions of dollars  and then sign on to protect those countries if there is internal conflict. Yes, we are the policemen of the world, folks. No matter how often the Washington lawmakers deny that  fact, they can't make it go away. All it takes is a leader of one of these corrupt countries to call the White House and tell the President they need money, and our military might, and without hesitation Washington agrees to provide the help.

Our tax dollars could be better spent right here in the USA. I say we spent enough money and lives in Iraq. The administration said they would pull out of Iraq and let the country solve their own problems. But is looks as though Obama is again going back on his word. Instead of keeping the United States nose out of the internal conflicts occurring in Iraq, allowing the different sides to fight it out among themselves Obama is using U.S. military to incite the feuding sides. - And, that's my opinion. Make your own decisions. You decide.

THE JURY SYSTEM IN MINNESOTA RUN AMOK.

THE KUHNS REPORT

Hello America, and how is the world treating you?

Former Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura won a $1.8  MILLION DOLLAR award after a two-year fight with the estate of author Chris Kyle  who penned, "American Sniper," who was killed last year in Texas. Kyle was reputed the deadliest sniper in U.S. Military history. Ventura sued for defamation after Kyle mentioned a fight in a bar and said Ventura bad-mouthed the Navy Seals.

My problem  is with the verdict and the state of the judicial and jury system in Minnesota. The jury deliberated for five days before telling the judge that they could not reach a verdict, but were told by the judge to keep trying. Now get this: --- the attorneys from both sides agreed to allow a verdict if eight of  ten jurors agreed. Can you imagine that, folks? Usually a jury comes back with a verdict for the prosecution or defense or a deadlock.

How the hell could the court allow the jury to make a decision with eight out of 10 jurors. Talk about  "justice being blind." What was the judge thinking to allow such an agreement? Did he and/or the attorney's have to attend a ball game, have  a date, a family dinner? What?

I submit, that if a FULL paneled jury cannot make up their mind in a case and are deadlocked then, hey--- a mistrial. Then the parties can decide whether they want to go through another trial again.

But 8 out of 10 jurors? Come on! Why didn't the judge and attorneys  try cases saying if five (5) of the jurors agree the case will be settled. Or, if only two (2) jurors agree the case will be settled.

John Borger, an attorney for the Kyle estate was questioned about why he agreed to a non unanimous  verdict when the jury was close to being hung: "That was a "strategic" call, which seemed appropriate at the time." Really? What's so strategic about not wanting a full jury to decide? Make's one wonder, doesn't it?

The jury was instructed that Ventura had to prove that Kyle either knew or believed what he wrote was untrue, or that he harbored serious doubts about the truth.

Folks, defamation is  a hard climb up a hill to prove and why the court and attorneys allowed this jury verdict is beyond me.

I would bet that the Kyle estate has a great, if not excellent,  grounds for appeal. Oh well, our justice system at work, people. - And, that's my opinion. Make your own decisions, You decide.

THE LETHAL EBOLA VIRUS IS IN THE USA.  IT'S HERE NOW! COURTESY OF OUR GOVT.

THE KUHNS REPORT

Hello America, and how is the world treating you?

Do you trust the government and this administration? I don't. Why? Because they do not keep their word or follow through on their promises, and they lie. This brings me to an issue that scares the hell of of me. One word" EBOLA.

The government says there is nothing to worry about. The EBOLA virus will not affect Americans.

The lethal outbreak in West Africa is not under control, far from it. Yet, our incompetent lawmakers are bringing at least TWO people that is infected with the lethal  virus into America. The powers to be who allowed this dumb move say that the two EBOLA infected people will be treated at Emory University Hospital, in Atlanta, GA,  in a sterile, contained environment. Really?  If there is even the slightest chance that this deadly virus (that has no cure) will be mishandled or transferred to another person the two infected people, Dr. Kent Brantly and aid worker Nancy Writebol should  have remained in Africa and  treated there.

Dr. Bruce Ribner, an infectious disease specialist at Emory said: "The reason we are bringing these patients back to our facility is because they deserve the highest level of care offered for their treatment."  Hell, the facility where the patients are to be treated was built a DECADE ago. Outdated? Maybe. Dr. Ribner says the two infected patients will receive "SUPPORTIVE CARE. I submit that care could have been performed in Liberia just like it is already being done there.
Imagine, the patient Dr. Brantly was  taken to Emory with helicopters flying over the Hospital; law enforcement surrounding the facility and the ambulance crews had to wear very specialized protective gear while transporting. And the government and consultants say- NOT TO WORRY.

The facility at Emory has only been used to treat SARS patients which turned out the suspected patients did not have the disease.But now this old facility is about to TRY to treat patients with the known death sentence disease EBOLA.  If American health care workers are to treat the infected people, that team should be sent to Africa to render aid, not in AMERICA.

Folks, the State Department had a big hand in this evacuation and transfer of these infected people to the U.S. while really not knowing what causes the fatal, deadly virus, let alone how to treat someone infected. Our government at work, AGAIN.

I would like to go on record saying that the administration, the State Department and the looney toon doctors and consultants that had the bright idea to bring the EBOLA killer to the U.S. is playing a game of Russian Roulette with the American people. Whatever happened to the oath, protect Americans and the United States? Again it is ignored by lawmakers.

I have no doubt that if  the CDC can set up a( Ha! Ha!) safe environment here in the United States, they indeed can do the same in Africa. We should keep this ugly, deadly killing virus isolated from the USA, at all costs.

According to our government-this will be the first time an EBOLA infected person will  be treated in the United States. That should not be the case. That's nothing to be proud of. Ebola in any shape or form should NOT be brought into the USA. There is no cure or treatment for this virus  -- so, why bring it into the country? The workers that went to Africa to work with the EBOLA knew the risks but apparently, for some reason (i.e) mishandling, came down with the Ebola virus.

Folks, this lethal killer has already spread to other countries. An infected person even boarded a plane and traveled to several countries. What does that tell you about transmission? How many other people may have been infected? In Africa, the health workers have to wear special protective gear and family members of the dead have to be instructed on how to handle the dead bodies.

Our government officials tell us " Americans should not fear that the epidemic will take hold in the USA, because  the fatal virus is contagious only when a patient is "sick with symptoms" of the disease. The virus is spread with  direct contact with bodily fluids.  They tell us the Ebola virus is not airborne, so people would have to come  in direct contact with the bodily fluids of an infected person. Well, no poop! It doesn't take much to have any person transfer body fluids to another person.  These may include blood, even sweat,  vomit, feces,  urine, saliva and semen. They go on to say  making transmission through "casual contact," in a public setting is UNLIKELY. The key word here is "unlikely." How many people have you seen that doesn't wash their hands in a public place like a restaurant when they leave a urinal or toilet stall after they have a bile movement? Result, feces on their hands. How many times have you seen health care  professionals in doctors offices and hospitals NOT wash their hands before treating you?  Sweat? People sweat all the time in public. Semen? Sexual intercourse is a given. It's rampant.  Again, one word about semen and sexual intercourse - "AIDS."

But the government will have you believe that the deadly EBOLA will not affect the general population in America. They say, "no need to panic." People, that is what the government usually says when there is a threat from any virus, environmental disaster, disease, etc., --. When have you ever heard the government talking heads admit that there is a problem, step up to the plate and take responsibility? I would say, mostly never.

Lets not forget the small pox outbreak that killed off a very large number of our Native American population; lets not forget the flu virus that killed tens of thousands of  people; then there was measles, typhoid fever. malaria and cholera that was let loose on the general population, just to name a few.

Folks, the early symptoms of EBOLA is fever,  muscle aches and sore throat.  It can be difficult to distinguish  between Ebola and malaria, typhoid fever an cholera. It's only the later stages of Ebola that people begin bleeding internally and externally, often through the nose and ears and other orifices.

What about the nuclear fall out of  the Atomic weapons being tested in Nevada; the agent Orange killer in Vietnam, the insecticides that were sprayed on United States cities killing animals and people. the Syphilis experiments that killed hundreds of Black men, the LSD experiments and yes, don't forget the HIV/Aids virus. We were told that it would not come to America from Africa, telling Americans it was isolated.

So, I ask you, what makes you believe that you can trust the word of the people that are now saying EBOLA being brought to the United States will  be contained? Hell, just recently the CDC mishandled small pox and anthrax AND these are the guys that's supposed to have a handle the EBOLA situation?

In most of the incidents mentioned above the government denied their participation and/or told the American people that there was nothing to be afraid of.

Other fiasco's our government and  so-called brainy researchers were involved in:  Remember the KILLER BEES? We were told that the experiments were safe and being conducted outside of the USA and there was no way the killer bees could escape and/or be released and ever come to America. Guess what? Killer bees were let loose on America killing people and animals and they now have a permanent foothold in America to this day. Don't forget the aggressive and killer species of animal and plant life that was turned loose in the United States killing fish, birds, trees, etc.

Just imagine all of the people that has already came in contact to some degree with these two infected patients. To  cite a few lets say: health care workers in Africa, the entire plane crew that transported the  infected patients to the United States, the ambulance crew that transports the patients to Emory Hospital; any and all staff at the facility.

Now imagine that this lethal EBOLA virus can be transmitted by means other that "contact by body fluids." The  supposed experts "DO NOT" really know. It's an educated guess on their part. However, all of the  heath care workers that will work in the facility around the infected patients will leave and go home every day, the crew of the plane and crew of the ambulance that transported the  patients to Emory will also go home each day having contact with the general population of America.

One of my suggestions to the government and any team handling and/or being involved with the transportation of the Ebola infected patients is: dispose of the aircraft that transported the patients; dispose of the ambulance that transported the patients; incinerate  and dispose of any and all medical equipment, clothing and materials  that was used to treat the infected patients.  Why? This non-curable, deadly disease may have"latent" aspects that not even the so-called experts are not aware of which may at some later date infect others that comes into contact with  the transport, materials, and devices used to care for the  two Ebola infected people.

Here are some questions for the government, the President and Congress and all of the alleged experts mouthing that there is no danger to Americans. The questions: What do the doctors and experts treating these two infected people intend to do with them now that they CARRY inside their body one of the most deadly and lethal viruses on this planet? Will they eventually release them? Will they let them go on with their lives and come in physical contact with family and strangers in public setting? Are the treating doctors going to eventually give these two infected Ebola patients a clean bill of health? If by chance the two infected patients do nor survive, what will they do with the bodies? Will the doctors and researchers keep and maintain some or parts of the body organs? If so, for what, and why? Again, these two infected patients should have been put in quarantine and isolated, IN AFRICA, for America's protection.

I  say that there is tons of unanswered questions when it comes to understanding this deadly virus and the arrogance of our lawmakers and many in the medical field is shameful.

I predict that once the EBOLA virus is brought into the United States (by these TWO) infected people -- IT WILL BE HERE for good. It will have it's start.  Mark my words, folks, the temptation of the idiot researchers of the government to handle it and work with it like kids with their play dough will go awry like all of the fiasco's that went before. It will be too late to re-cork the bottle.You can bet when it is unleashed the government people will use the excuse that they didn't see it coming.

Finally, I don't care if the two EBOLA infected people are Americans or polka dot aliens from another planet, they should not have been brought  back to the United States, PERIOD. -  And, that's my opinion. Make your own decisions. You decide.
