[Breitbart] The top deputy to Attorney General Eric Holder announced his resignation on Thursday amid revelations that Operation Fast and Furious scandal guns were used to harm Americans in Phoenix in 2013, a development top congressional Republicans say President Obama’s administration sought to cover up.
Documents released by conservative government watchdog group Judicial Watch—and put forward by Senate Judiciary Committee ranking member Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform chairman Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA)—show that an assault rifle purchased as part of Fast and Furious was used in a Phoenix-area crime in July 2013 that left two people wounded.
Part of a police report shows the rifle’s serial number, 1977DX1654. Judicial Watch obtained the documents from a lawsuit it filed against the city of Phoenix, Judicial Watch v. City of Phoenix, to get officials to release the documents. Judicial Watch had filed an Aug. 5, 2014, public records request with the city, which it ignored, forcing Judicial Watch to file the lawsuit on Oct. 2. Rats leaping from a sinking ship.

In addition to Cole’s resignation, Holder recently announced he plans to resign soon, as well—something that came right after a federal judge ordered the DOJ to provide, by Oct. 22, a “Vaughan Index,” or a list of documents President Obama is hiding under executive privilege, descriptions of them, and the reasons the administration thinks they are privilege-worthy, pursuant to another Judicial Watch lawsuit.

we were made aware by the U.S. CDC of a guest sailing this week on board Carnival Magic who is a lab supervisor at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital. At no point in time has the individual exhibited any symptoms or signs of infection and it has been 19 days since she was in the lab with the testing samples.
Hopefully its just over cautiousness. But they do say 21 to 42 days in some people.
(Reuters) - When Dr. Thomas Frieden, director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), visited Ebola-stricken sites in West Africa last August, he was dressed in a full protective bodysuit and ventilator.
That level of protection was far greater than the basic gear the CDC initially recommended for U.S. hospital workers, which at minimum included a gown, a single pair of gloves, a mask and face shield.
After a second nurse at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas fell ill with Ebola after caring for a dying Liberian patient, the CDC this week beefed up its recommendations for personal protective equipment to include hooded full-body suits that cover the neck, more frequent hand washing and a supervisor who oversees the removal of infected gear, steps experts said should have been done long ago.
Several U.S. medical centers have adopted policies that exceed CDC's guidelines. "We are going higher than what the CDC has said," said Dr. Marc Napp, deputy chief medical officer at Mount Sinai Health System in New York. "We have been really grappling with this for two-and-a-half months."
For example, when Mount Sinai admitted a suspected Ebola patient in August, one of the hospital's infectious disease physicians who does research on Ebola "insisted on going to his lab" and getting his impermeable hooded Tyvek suit.
That set a model for all hospital staff. Mount Sinai is bringing in experts to train them on the proper way to put on and take off the suits.
Luke Chen, an infection prevention expert at Duke University Medical Center in North Carolina said the hospital is designating a specific group of experienced staff to treat Ebola using full-length Tyvek suits.

Another one of those expert details that may turn out to matter a lot: When Specimens Should Be Collected for Ebola Testing at CDC
Ebola virus is detected in blood only after the onset of symptoms, usually fever. It may take up to 3 days after symptoms appear for the virus to reach detectable levels. Virus is generally detectable by real-time RT-PCR from 3-10 days after symptoms appear.
Specimens ideally should be taken when a symptomatic patient reports to a healthcare facility and is suspected of having an Ebola exposure. However, if the onset of symptoms is <3 days, a later specimen may be needed to completely rule-out Ebola virus, if the first specimen tests negative.
----
So, negative Ebola tests taken early in the course of symptoms may be wrong.
[Chicago Tribune] The Pentagon confirmed an Ebola scare on Friday in one of its parking lots when a woman vomited after getting off a bus headed to a high-level Marine Corps ceremony.
The Pentagon said the woman was taken to Inova Fairfax Hospital, where she was isolated. A front man for the local health authority said it was still unclear, however, whether she would meet the criteria for Ebola testing.
Key questions included whether she in fact traveled to West Africa in the past 21 days, which is believed to be the maximum incubation period for the disease, officials said.

Although having no first-hand knowledge of Mr. Obama and Co., would not be surprised to find out it was "Thumbs Up Ebola" at 1600 -> voter suppression?
[NYPOST] A passenger died on a Nigeria-to-JFK flight after a vomiting fit Thursday -- and a top politician said officials gave the corpse only a "cursory" exam before declaring that the victim did not have Ebola.
Rep. Peter King ...U.S. Representative for New York's 3rd (central Long Island) congressional district, serving since 1993. He is of the Publican persuasion and is known for his active support for the IRA Irish republican movement... said in a letter to Homeland Security and Customs and Border Protection that the handling of the remains exposed serious flaws in airport preparedness for an Ebola outbreak.
Between 70 and 100 passengers a day arrive at JFK from the Ebola epicenter countries of Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea, King noted, and they have access to public restrooms and mingle with other travelers before their first screening.

Whaddit he have - the chicken or the fish?
The chicken, see?
Well, there you go. Happens all the time on this route. Let's get moving, if we get on it, we can beat rush hour.
The ebola disease crisis will be with us for years. Since the disease takes so long to incubate and because your average citizen does not look beyond his/her immediate needs, this will be an ongoing crisis. Hope I am wrong.
Nevertheless, with the onset of the crisis you may (or may not) have noticed that the Mandarins and their stenographers have dropped global warning for now and are now focusing on gun control.
That's right. People may be dying of the most horrific pathogen in decades, but as long as the fascists can keep pressing for theft and murder of their fellow citizens, well, that's a sacrifice everyone else but the fascists will be forced to make. Ammunition is cheap for the moment and that is the shining light in this darkness.
According to BearingArms.com, the Walmart in Ferguson, MO took firearms and ammunition off their shelves for fear of a riot. They effectively disarmed a town under the threat of violence by closing their firearms sales down. Some of you may object, saying it is a common sense thing to do given the tenor of the actors in Ferguson, but common sense is how gun rights are being eroded by the terminally fascist. If you want to make money selling firearms and ammunition, at least have the decency to sell to everyone who has the money. Don't take away a basic necessity out of fear. Fear just drives more incidents, which drives more fear.
Housekeeping: I am adding some more statistics to the used firearms category. At the end of the line for each class of firearms will be two notations which will indicate the high average price on the left and the low average price on the right. The same for each state. As the price shifts up or down (or stays the same) a numeral will be added to the number which was not affected by the shift. Eventually, we will get to see how many weeks a price high or low changed, and see how high or low a price has been to help give another idea on what is happening to used firearms prices. I hope it won't clutter up the display too much, but we will see.
Why am I doing this? I minored in economics and I used to write sports, so I breathe statistics, sorta.
Loads.

If I have the Ferguson Walmart story correct, they did not stop selling ammo. They took it off the displays and locked it up in back. You could still buy it but had to ask a clerk for assistance. Given the both the current civil unrest (aka violent mobs) in Ferguson and the propensity for rioters and flash mobs to strip store shelves, this seems rather sane. Especially since the 'protesters' have been targeting Walmart.
If I were a good guy in or around Furgeson, I would be three moves ahead already. As with alcohol, there is a certain level of responsibility with selling ammo, and it includes an age check. I do not disagree, as range time (ranges which let you use your own ammo instead of requiring house ammo, number of reasons for each argument, the best for house ammo being some yahoo bringing AP ammo blasting holes in targets/backstop) chews up a stockpile.
If I had a store selling ammo, it is my prerogative to sell or not sell, that isn't in question, and mobs were threatening to loot my store, I'd have that sT locked up, maybe have empty boxes for display, after ID check have it ready for them after checkout. Right of refusal of business, if Doggy G or Sloop John B or whatever the gang stars are calling themselves shows up with pants on the ground, sorry chuck all out of that caliber. Could also go speakeasy, no display.
Employee told a story about customer who came in, pulled revolver out of pants, flung it around like a stuck booger, and asked what caliber ammo he needed. He was told the caliber needed for you to get your ass out of this store. That, is a good employee.
Anecdote - and word of mouth for what it is worth - Wal Mart in Dodge City KS pulled its firearm line shortly after the Belcher murder/suicide. Other businesses jumped in the gap and made bank. That Wal Mart tried to get back into the market and as far as I know has not recovered. Best guess is that shoppers may have had to spend and extra 2%-3%, but had a better experience with knowledgable retailers over bar code swipers.
I have three stacks - play time, range time, and SHTF, and use them in that order. If I were to test myself on SHTF, I would buy additional test supplies rather than use that pile.

badanov, your articles are excellent, and the question you pose had me straddling the electric fence without rubber boots.
Friend introduced me to clays. I was in Lawrence KS, aka Berkley-on-Kaw, decided that I was tired of borrowing other peoples' shoes to play basketball so to speak. Went to Wal Mart, asked where their firearm section is, got looked at like I had a Shatner mask on. Found a mom and pops, they were more than happy to commerce, gentleman asked me the what fors and helped me make a selection, plus necessary accessories.
I don't have a problem with businesses steering their own ship, the market will provide. Now, IIUC, that shop has closed and no others have filled that gap, which leads me to believe that the city council has something to do with it (no new firearm stores), that I have a problem with.
Now Kansas City Cabelas isn't complaining, but not everyone has the ability to drive 30 toll booth miles one way. It creates a black market.
If you have never walked into a parking lot full of drunk 250lb+s looking to kick the ass of the next person through, and the next person was you, it gets your attention.
Second, knew a guy who liked to go to people's parties and pick fights. He came from a neighborhood where people were armed. He saw Berkely-on-Kaw as unarmed, so he figured he could get away with it, especially the hippies.
Third, knew a hippy who delt unicorn farts. At the end of the day he had something in his bedroom, sitting on $x illegal goods. Its what makes that line in Lock Stock 2 Barrels one of my favorites, by Rory Breaker, "You. Don't. Say."
Hippy should not have been sold a firearm, not because he was going to ventilate a house, but because he would look for his car keys to ride his bike. In a way, it is the same logic the Fed is using to justify keeping Ebola flights open, so the Fed can keep track of who was where, yet trying to shut down firearm dealers because that will end gun violence. Throw that pretzel in their milk.
Range: Let me start by saying I'm not the dude from Tremors. I do approach Range Time by spending a deal of time considering why I would fire in anger, and I keep that in mind every shot, but I don't know if that is ultimately right until I would unfortunately have to do such a thing.
SHTF: not repelling the regulars in Concord, simply coming home and finding the back door open, or like last night hearing a patrol car zoom by, then hearing people running through the alley. Game time, my thoughts centered around family and castle, hesitations such as guilt, and harm, other nerves dealt with before Range.
To paraphrase, if I walk into the store and somebody is stabbing my employee, the context of our relationship is already established.
[AnNahar] Two Tanzanian women were hacked to death by men who accused them of casting spells that made them sexually impotent, police said Friday, in the latest killings of alleged "witches".
The women, one aged in her 80s and her 45-year old daughter, were killed in the village of Ihugi in Tanzania's northern Shinyanga province late on Tuesday.
Three men slit their throats and then chopped their bodies up, local police chief Justus Kamugisha said, adding that their neighbour was suspected of carrying out the attack after he believed they had made him unable to have sex.
A 40-year-old man, who also accused the women of poisoning his mother last year, has been incarcerated Please don't kill me!
"The victims were attacked as they were about to take their evening meal," Kamugisha said.
The attack follows the killing last week of seven people in a separate attack in western Tanzania, burned alive in their huts, who were also accused of witchcraft.
Belief in witches and black magic remains strong in many parts of Tanzania.
A local rights group, the Legal and Human Rights Center (LHRC), has estimated as many as 500 "witches" are lynched every year, based on reports that counted some 3,000 people killed between 2005 and 2011.
Many of those killed were elderly women, the center said.
The rights group said some are targeted because they have red eyes ‐- seen as a feared sign of witchcraft -- even though this is often the result of the use of dung as cooking fuel in impoverished communities.
The center said that many local people believe that witchcraft is behind every misfortune -- from infertility and poverty to failure in business.
Past attacks have included a series of bloody assaults against albinos, as well as against young children.
In Tanzania, albinos are killed and dismembered because of a widespread belief that charms made from their body parts bring good fortune and prosperity.
[CSMONITOR] Oil prices continue to slide, putting enormous pressure on oil producers around the world.
Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... has insisted it is willing to live with lower prices for quite a while as it seeks to maintain a grip on its market share. Kuwait also indicated its willingness to slash prices in order to keep output level. That sent oil prices lower on Oct. 14, as the markets reacted with a bit of surprise to the unwavering stance by OPEC's leading members: WTI dropped 4.5 percent.
Lower oil prices are putting a strain on all producers, including Saudi Arabia, but Riyadh is hoping that the economic pain will be much greater for some of its competitors. That includes U.S. shale producers, which have higher average production costs.

No worries for any of them as the margins are still there:
Saudi Arabian crude is the cheapest in the world to extract
because of its location near the surface of the desert and the
size of the fields, which allow economies of scale.
The operating cost (stripping out capital expenditure) of
extracting a barrel in Saudi Arabia has been estimated to be
around $1-$2, and the total cost (including capital expenditure)
$4-$6 a barrel.
In Venezuela, where fields tend to be mature and small and
it is difficult to make new discoveries, production costs were
generally estimated at $20 a barrel (operating and capital
costs).
Those figures do not include the more expensive Orinoco oil
from the country's sand deposits.
One analyst said the extraction of one barrel of Orinoco was
around $30 (operating and capital costs).
#2
The problem is Venezuela's production infrastructure is breaking down, and no one will sell anything to them except cash in advance. Mainly because they have a history of not paying.
On the up side, now they can give Cuba all the oil they want.

Only about 4 percent of U.S. shale oil production needs prices above $80 for drillers to break even, the International Energy Agency said today in its monthly oil market report. Producers are getting more oil per dollar spent drilling, driving costs down as much as $30 a barrel since 2012, Morgan Stanley (MS) analyst Adam Longson said in a report yesterday.
"Prices aren't low enough to put these projects at risk," Matthew Jurecky, head of oil and gas research for the London-based research company GlobalData Ltd., said by e-mail today from New York. "The profit margin on most commercial unconventional oil plays will support prices as low as $50, many below that even."

Yes Frank. 100k plus barrels/day to Cuba in exchange for doctors, security expertise and socialist solidarity. Petro Caribe gets a smaller amount on give away terms. China is due over 400k barrels/day in return for loans, the proceeds of which have already been spent. Venezuela also uses 765K barrels of refined transportation fuel per day, essentially giving it away. So not so much to export for cash as ustabe.
[AnNahar] Germany may not send drones to help monitor the Ukraine-Russian border as promised, in part because the surveillance aircraft doesn't work in very icy temperatures, a politician said Friday.
The "Luna" unmanned aerial vehicle does not work at below minus 19 degrees Centigrade (minus two degrees Fahrenheit), the politician said, confirming a Bild daily report.
Berlin, along with Gay Paree and Vienna, has offered drones to the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) to monitor conflict-torn Ukraine's eastern border for incursions of Russian fighters and arms.
But senior German politician Gernot Erler, coordinator for social cooperation with Russia and Central Asia, said he had "serious doubts" Germany would be able to take part.
"It's a technical problem of the Luna system that it can't be controlled reliably at temperatures below minus 19 degrees," he told public radio Deutschlandfunk.
Winter temperatures in the region would often plunge far lower at the operational heights of 3,000 metres (10,000 feet) and above, Bild had reported citing a military source.
Erler said there were other "major legal and political problems", including that a German armed military team would have to accompany the drone for a mission under OSCE auspices.
"This is difficult because Ukraine and Russia would of course have to agree, both are members of the OSCE," said Erler.
"I've got major doubts that this mission will actually take place," he said.
"We are quickly running out of time. The hurdles we face have not yet been overcome."
If the drone offer does flop, it would be the latest embarrassment for Germany, whose pledge to play a greater global role has been hobbled by a string of technical hiccups with defence equipment.
Aircraft problems delayed German arms shipments to Peshmerga Kurdish fighters battling Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems.... group jihadists in Iraq and slowed aid shipments to Ebola-hit West Africa.
News website Spiegel Online said last month that just 41 out of 190 military helicopters were fit for service and painted a similar picture for fighter planes.
Defence Minister Ursula von der Leyen acknowledged that Germany's military could not currently live up to all its NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. A collection of multinational and multilingual and multicultural armed forces, all of differing capabilities, working toward a common goal by pulling in different directions... commitments because of equipment problems.
Von der Leyen, Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier and President Joachim Gauck have this year all called for Germany to take more responsibility in international crises, with arms if necessary.
BLUF:
[The Atlantic] In the contemporary West, we often assume that perpetrators of mass violence must be insane or irrational, but as Kotkin tells the story, Stalin was neither. And in its way, the idea of Stalin as a rational and extremely intelligent man, bolstered by an ideology sufficiently powerful to justify the deaths of many millions of people, is even more terrifying. It means we might want to take more seriously the pronouncements of the Russian politicians who have lately argued for the use of nuclear weapons against the Baltic states, or of the ISIS leaders who call for the deaths of all Christians and Jews. Just because their language sounds strange to us doesn’t mean that they, and those who follow them, don’t find it compelling, or that they won’t pursue their logic to its ultimate conclusion.
Ah, Anne Applebaum. I saw Besoeker's headline and thought I might have to consider renewing my cancelled subscription to the Atlantic. But Ms. Applebaum is always compelling and almost always right. Wonder why she's slumming at the Atlantic? Or is that magazine beginning to get a clue?

he did exactly what he said he would do.....Lenin himself suggested that peasants should be forced to deliver their grain to the state, and that those who refused should be “shot on the spot.”.
Interesting read. The quotes above are particularly worrisome as they clearly match the ideologues of the left that are contesting for power here now.
We ignore at our peril what the progs and muzzies say with the "oh they don't really mean it" whistle past the graveyard and their lack of any reticence about using force for their perceived "good".
Evil ideologies and evil people are rarely shy about what they want and will do.
[Ynet] Two men tossed in the clink Don't shoot, coppers! I'm comin' out! by Polish authorities on suspicion of spying were working for Russian intelligence, a member of the Polish parliament's intelligence committee said on Friday.
Prosecutors say the two men are an officer serving in the Polish military, and a Warsaw lawyer, but they have not revealed in public for what country they are alleged to have been spying.
"Actions are being taken in respect of two agents of the Russian state," Marek Biernacki told news hounds after his committee was briefed on the case behind closed doors by security officials.
