With
leaks designed to destroy the credibility of key members of the Trump
administration, and the ultimate goal that Trump “ ill die in jail”, the
“Deep State”, the rogue intelligence community, has seceded from the
republic, declared civil war and asserted its sovereignty. The CIA used
to hide its assassinations and deny it overthrew foreign governments.
The NSA used to hide that it spied on Americans and the FBI denied it
did searches without warrants. Now they not openly admit they do these
things, they use the laws designed to constrain them, like FISA, as
tools of the police state. As James Madison pointed out, “the means of
defense against foreign danger historically have become instruments of
tyranny at home”
Even people on the left who intensely dislike
Trump & Flynn have said Flynn’s political assassination sets a very
dangerous precedent. But some, like Glenn Greenwald, say very serious
crimes were committed by the leakers, but he thinks the end justifies
the means. David Knight explains why this is fundamentally different
and far, far more dangerous than whistleblowers exposing criminal
actions.

New Federal 2017 Vaccine Schedules Approved
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and its Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) have approved new adult and childhood vaccine schedules, effective Feb. 1, 2017. The American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP), the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) have all endorsed the new schedules.1
The CDC’s release of the vaccine
schedules has coincided with news reports that the Trump administration
may appoint a special commission to investigate the safety of vaccines. In response to these reports, AAFP’s president, John Meigs, expressed his opposition to the proposal:
A new federal commission
on immunizations is not necessary and would divert much-needed dollars
from other, more pressing health care issues. To suggest the need for
such an organization promotes unnecessary, ongoing and disproven
skepticism about vaccines and public safety.”2
The science
is clear, and family physicians stand ready to help everyone―from the
incoming administration to the general public―understand how safe and
important vaccines are.2
The updated childhood vaccine schedule recommends that children between
ages 11-12 years old receive two doses of Human Papillomavirus (HPV9)
vaccine instead of the previously licensed three-dose schedule.2
The HPV9 vaccine can be given as early as nine years old and as late as
13-14 years old. For patients 15 years old and over, it is recommended
that they receive three doses of HPV9.2
The second update pertains to the
timing at which two doses of the meningococcal vaccine MenB-FHbp should
be administered rather than the three doses originally recommended.2
The third update relates to the HepB
vaccine. The ACIP recommends the hepatitis B shot should be administered
to newborn infants “within 24 hours of birth” instead of the previous “at hospital discharge.”3
The ACIP recommends that adult
patients with a history of egg allergy that manifests with symptoms
other than hives may receive age-appropriate inactivated (IIV) or
recombinant influenza vaccine (RIV) but should be supervised by a
medical professional, who is able to quickly recognize and manage severe
allergic reactions.2
The ACIP additionally recommends HepB
vaccine for adults suffering from chronic liver disease, cirrhosis,
alcoholic liver disease, fatty liver disease and autoimmune hepatitis.2

The federal government’s legal authority to detain and quarantine
persons infected with certain highly communicable and deadly infectious
diseases historically primarily has involved detaining people entering
the U.S. by boats and airplanes or traveling across state lines.
Federal government officials have long had the authority to
apprehend, isolate and quarantine people for a limited number of
infectious diseases on the U.S. quarantine list.
However, the legal authority for surveillance, detention and
quarantining of citizens residing in the U.S. suspected of being
infected with certain non-quarantinable communicable diseases
historically has resided with state government health officials.1
On Jan. 17, 2017, the last day of the Obama administration, a new
final rule on the Control of Communicable Diseases was issued by the
U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) that is schedule
to take effect in March.
The new rule gives the CDC expanded authority to apprehend, isolate
and quarantine for at least 72 hours a person entering the U.S. or
traveling between states, who is suspected of being infected, or at risk
of being infected, with one of the nine diseases on the U.S. quarantine
list (cholera, plague, diphtheria, smallpox, yellow fever, infectious
tuberculosis, viral hemorrhagic fevers [like Ebola], severe acute
respiratory syndrome [SARS] and influenza) that can cause a pandemic.2
The rule also strengthens federal surveillance of travelers for
symptoms of non-quarantinable diseases like measles, pertussis and
meningococcal disease.3
While proponents are touting the changes as necessary to protect the
public health, critics have been arguing since the CDC first published
the Notice of Proposed Rule Making (NPRM) in August 2016, that it is an
example of government overreach, which poses a risk to health and civil
liberties.4
Because the National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC) and other
organizations advocating for protection of civil liberties urged
Americans to contact the CDC and oppose the NPRM last summer, the CDC
received more than 15,000 comments from the public, many of them
expressing concern that the rule violated the U.S. Constitution, and
human and civil rights.
Although the CDC rejected this characterization, the agency did make
changes to the final rule, including eliminating a provision that would
have allowed the CDC to require individuals to agree to submit to public
health measures such as hospitalization, vaccination and medical
treatment.
In addition, the final rule states that medical examinations can only be conducted with prior informed consent.5
The new rule gives the CDC the power to detain for further health
assessment a person who is crossing the U.S. or state borders if he or
she is exhibiting certain infection symptoms associated with
quarantinable diseases, such as fever, headache and acute
gastroenteritis (abdominal cramps, loose stools or vomiting).
The new rule also makes it clear that rash and cough symptoms of
non-quarantinable infectious diseases, such as measles and pertussis,
among travelers are going to be more closely monitored by federal
government officials as well.
For non-quarantinable diseases, CDC will be working with state health
departments, who have the legal authority to detain and quarantine
citizens suspected of being infected with, or at risk for, being
infected with a communicable disease.
James Hodge Jr., a professor of public health law and ethics at the
Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law at Arizona State University, told
NPR, “Because of the breadth and scope of the definition of ill persons,
CDC can target a much wider swath of persons to assess and screen.”6
The new rule also includes new reporting requirements for airplanes
and ships. If the rules take effect, airline pilots and ship operators
would be required to report not only deaths on board but also “certain
overt and common signs and symptoms of sick travelers” to the CDC prior
to arriving into the U.S. Barbara Loe Fisher, NVIC co-founder and
president noted:7
It is not a good idea to make the public’s airport
experience even more difficult by enlisting flight crews to report
passengers with symptoms that could be nothing more than eczema, acne,
norovirus or the common cold.
… What started out as a vacation could be turned into a nightmare spent in an airport quarantine center.
The required signs and symptoms include the following, and must be
reported not only during international travel, but also on airline
flights flying domestically, between states:8
Airlines
(1) Fever (defined as measured temperature of 100.4 degrees F [38
degrees C] or greater, feels warm to the touch or gives a history of
feeling feverish)
AND one of the following:
(2) Fever that has persisted for more than 48 hours; OR
(3) Other signs or symptoms of communicable disease CDC is concerned about and has announced in the Federal Register.
Ships
(1) Fever (defined as measured temperature of 100.4 degrees F [38
degrees C] or greater, feels warm to the touch or gives a history of
feeling feverish)
AND one of the following:
(2) Fever that has persisted for more than 48 hours; OR
(3) Acute gastroenteritis (inflammation of stomach or intestines or both), defined as:
(4) Other signs or symptoms of communicable disease CDC is concerned about and has announced in the Federal Register.
In August 2016, NPRM, the CDC pointed to “the ongoing persistence of measles
in the United States” as an example of why the updated rules are
necessary. They even said, “Every case of measles in the United States
is considered a public health emergency because of its extremely high
transmissibility.”9
The World Health Organization (WHO) and U.S. health officials have
targeted mass MMR vaccination campaigns as the solution to eradicating
measles, even though serious questions remain about the vaccine’s efficacy and safety.
In the final rule, measles outbreaks in the U.S. were again
highlighted. It illustrates why travelers with a rash or cough could
become the subject of scrutiny and reporting to the CDC by airline and
other public transportation personnel as the federal government more
closely monitors almost all signs of illness in all travelers.
Once it becomes widespread knowledge that an airline pilot or ship’s
captain must report symptoms of common illness directly to the federal
government, and that information could be used to immediately detain or
quarantine you, there’s a good chance people may try to evade the
system. Jennifer Nuzzo, a research epidemiologist at the Johns Hopkins
Center for Health Security, told NPR:10
The worst-case scenario is that people may try to
evade these procedures by, say, taking medicines to reduce their fever,
or be afraid to report it if they are feeling ill on a plane … We don’t
want to drive cases underground by putting measures in place that seem
as though they carry some penalties associated with them.
While one concern is that increased surveillance of travelers by
health officials could drive diseases underground, another is that
overreaching power could allow people to be wrongly detained. An op-ed
piece in The New York Times described the case of Kaci Hickox, who had volunteered as a nurse treating Ebola patients in Sierra Leone, West Africa.
She had no known exposure to the disease, as she had worn heavy
protective gear, but upon her return to the U.S., New Jersey Gov. Chris
Christie ordered her quarantined to an area hospital. This was against
the current CDC guidelines, which stated she should monitor herself for
symptoms at home.
“It’s imperative that whenever the next outbreak hits, emergency
health measures are grounded in scientific evidence and guided by clear,
fair rules to protect people from wrongful deprivation of their
liberties,” the Times piece states, continuing:11
That incident wasn’t an anomaly. During a bubonic
plague outbreak in 1900, for example, government officials quarantined
the entire Chinatown neighborhood of San Francisco.
The quarantine applied only to Chinese residents, and lacked
any scientific basis. It was fueled by little more than naked fear and
racism. Given this history, we want to ensure that federal officials
applying the new regulations will act on the basis of science and
evidence and not on politics and public fear.
According to the new rules, “CDC may apprehend, detain, examine or
conditionally release an individual if it reasonably believes that
he/she may be infected with or exposed to a quarantinable communicable
disease.”12 Those diseases currently include the following:
However, as mentioned, the new rule also allows the CDC to step up
federal surveillance of travelers displaying a number of common illness
symptoms associated with non-quarantinable diseases like measles and pertussis.
Although travelers found to be infected with or at risk for being
infected with a non-quarantinable disease like measles cannot be
quarantined by federal health officials, state health officials do have
the legal authority to detain and quarantine residents infected with
certain communicable diseases, depending upon the state’s public health
laws.
The final rule was originally scheduled to go into effect Feb. 21,
2017. However, with the change in administration, the new regulations
are being reviewed and will not take effect until the end of March 2017,
at the earliest.13
Robert
De Niro still can’t fully support vaccination. In an interview on “Full
Measure with Sharyl Attkisson,” the 73-year-old actor asked, “Where is
the science?” This is surprising since he was forced to remove the
documentary Vaxxed from the Tribeca Film Festival last year, in a move
that seemed to indicate the actor was backing down from his efforts to
push the issue into the mainstream.

The Vatican’s Secretary of State Cardinal Pietro Parolin
said Monday that the Holy See is concerned over growing populist and
nationalist movements, both in Europe and in the United States.
The Holy See has not demonstrated any such concern about jihad
attacks and the Islamic supremacist incursion into the West through
Hijra and the violent crimes associated with it. Where is Pope Francis’
compassion for the millions of victims of Islamic supremacists and
jihadists globally?
“Vatican Expresses Concerns Over ‘Spread of Nationalism, Populism,’” by Thomas D. Williams, Breitbart, February 14, 2017:
The Vatican’s Secretary of State Cardinal Pietro Parolin
said Monday that the Holy See is concerned over growing populist and
nationalist movements, both in Europe and in the United States.
In an interview for the Italian evening news on the state-owned RAI
network, Cardinal Parolin was asked whether the Vatican is worried about
what the interviewer called “the spread of nationalism and populism not
only in Europe but also in the United States with Donald Trump.”
“I think so, I think so,” Parolin said. “Certainly these closings are
not a good sign,” since many of them “are born of fear, which is not a
good counsellor.”
The Cardinal also recalled recent comments by Pope Francis, saying that “there is a risk of history repeating itself.”
In a lengthy interview with the Spanish daily El País in late
January, Pope Francis was asked whether he was concerned about the
spread of a populism that capitalizes on “people’s fears,” preaching “a
message of hate.”
In his reply, Francis distinguished between a good, grassroots
populism, where it is the people who are “the protagonists,” and a cult
of personality where a charismatic figure like Hitler rises to power and
is welcomed as a savior figure.
“For me the most typical example of populism in the European sense is
the Germany of 1933,” Francis said. After Hindenburg, “Germany tries to
get back up, searches for its identity, looks for a leader, someone to
give it back its identity and a youngster named Adolf Hitler says, ‘I
can do it; I can do it.’”
Whereas the first sort of populism is a good thing, the latter can be very dangerous, he said.
The risk, Francis said, is that in times of crisis we lack judgment
and people can begin to think, “Let’s look for a savior who gives us
back our identity and let’s defend ourselves with walls, barbed-wire,
whatever, from other people that may rob us of our identity.”
“And that is a very serious thing,” he said. “That is why I always try to say: talk among yourselves, talk to one another.”
In the same interview, the Pope was asked specifically whether he was
worried about Donald Trump, whom the interviewer described as a
xenophobe filled with “hatred for foreigners.”
Francis said that the new U.S. President deserved to be judged by his actions, not by “prophecies” of what he may or may not do.
“I think that we must wait and see,” Francis said. “I don’t like to
get ahead of myself nor judge people prematurely. We will see how he
acts, what he does, and then I will have an opinion.”
The Pope said it is “most unwise” to be afraid of something that might or might not happen.

Perhaps they have a financial reason for ignoring jihad attacks on churches.
My latest in PJ Media:
The temporary ban on immigration from seven Muslim
countries is dead, at least for the time being, and the U.S. Conference
of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) couldn’t be happier.
Bishop Joe Vasquez of Austin, Texas, who is the USCCB’s chair of the Committee on Migration, issued a statement saying:
We welcome the decision of the 9th Circuit Court of
Appeals. We respect the rule of law and the American judicial process.
We remain steadfast in our commitment to resettling refugees and all
those fleeing persecution. At this time, we remain particularly
dedicated to ensuring that affected refugee and immigrant families are
not separated and that they continue to be welcomed to our country. We
will continue to welcome the newcomer as it is a vital part of our
Catholic faith and an enduring element of our American values and
tradition.By ignoring the national
security issues that this “refugee” influx poses, Vazquez’s statement
was sadly typical of USCCB communiqués on immigration issues. He spoke
about the Church’s “commitment to resettling refugees and all those
fleeing persecution,” but about those refugees who are coming in order
to persecute non-Muslims, Vazquez was silent.
Is such a concern preposterous?
Not at all. In 2016 alone, there were numerous incidents of Muslim
migrants staging jihad attacks in the United States. In February 2016,
Somali Muslim migrant Mohammad Barry stabbed multiple patrons at a
restaurant owned by an Israeli Arab Christian. In September 2016, Ahmad
Khan Rahami, an Afghan Muslim migrant, set off bombs in New York City
and New Jersey. Arcan Cetin, a Turkish Muslim migrant, murdered five
people in a mall in Burlington, Washington in September 2016. In October
2016, Dahir Adan, another Somali Muslim migrant, stabbed mall shoppers
in St. Cloud while screaming “Allahu akbar.” In November 2016, Abdul
Razak Artan, yet another Somali Muslim migrant, injured nine people with
a car and knife attack at Ohio State University.In all, no fewer than 72 jihad terrorists have come to the U.S. from the countries listed in Trump’s immigration ban.What’s more, all of the jihadis
who murdered 130 people in Paris in November 2015 had just entered
Europe as refugees. In February 2015, the Islamic State boasted it would
soon flood Europe with as many as 500,000 refugees. The Lebanese education minister said
in September 2015 that there were 20,000 jihadis among the refugees in
camps in his country. On May 10, 2016, Patrick Calvar, the head of
France’s DGSI internal intelligence agency, said that the Islamic State was using migrant routes through the Balkans to get jihadis into Europe.The USCCB should also take careful note of the fact that Muslim migrants in Europe are targeting Christians and churches.In France, anti-Christian attacks have risen by 245 percent. In Germany, Muslims reportedly “devastated” a Christian parish center and wrote “Islamist slogans” on the walls. In Italy, a Muslim set fire to a church Nativity scene. Most notoriously, in France Muslims entered a Catholic church during mass and murdered the elderly priest at the altar. Shortly thereafter, Muslims entered another church in France and left a photograph of the perpetrator of the jihad massacre in Nice on the altar.Do the U.S. Catholic bishops
really think that such incidents will not or cannot happen here? They
have never answered that question or even been asked it, because all
discussion of this issue is immediately buried under charges of
“Islamophobia.”
The USCCB’s steadfast refusal
to address these issues, and strong opposition to Trump’s ban, may stem
from motives somewhat less high-minded than those that Bishop Vazquez
articulated….
