Skin-Disfiguring Parasite That Plagues Middle East, Latin America and Asia Now Detected in US, CDC Warns
by Ben Kew, The Western Journal320 Comments
A skin-disfiguring parasite has landed in America.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a
parasite known as Leishmania may already be endemic in Texas and other
southern states, CBS News reported.
The parasite, which is transmitted through the bites of infected
female sandflies, causes a disease known as leishmaniasis, resulting in
skin sores that develop weeks after the bite has occurred.
Cases of leishmaniasis typically affect individuals who have traveled abroad to tropical or subtropical regions.
However, the CDC has recently discovered 86 Leishmania cases from individuals who have no recent travel history outside America, NBC News reported.
Researchers also identified an exclusive Leishmania strain that
exhibited distinct genetic characteristics compared to cases associated
with travel. This means that the strain was likely spreading locally.
Per the CDC’s website, Leishmaniasis is a “parasitic disease that is found in parts of the tropics, subtropics and southern Europe.
“It is classified as a neglected tropical disease. Leishmaniasis is
caused by infection with Leishmania parasites, which are spread by the
bite of phlebotomine sand flies,” the website explains.
“There are several different forms of leishmaniasis in people,” it
continues. “The most common forms are cutaneous leishmaniasis, which
causes skin sores, and visceral leishmaniasis, which affects several
internal organs (usually spleen, liver, and bone marrow).”
“Sometimes you don’t even notice that you’ve been bitten,” said Dr.
Mary Kamb, a medical epidemiologist at the US Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention in Atlanta, according to CNN
“People could be asymptomatic and not develop anything, but when
people are symptomatic, they develop ulcers on their skin and sometimes
it starts like a little tiny volcano
with a crater in it,” she added. “We need to increase the awareness
among clinicians, dermatologists, infectious disease doctors or general
practitioners.”
Meanwhile, NBC quoted the assistant director of the molecular microbiology clinical laboratory at UW Medicine, Joshua Lieberman, assuring people that the risk of infection was “vanishingly small.”
“Our understanding of leishmaniasis acquired in the U.S. is still
really evolving,” said Lieberman. “It’s not clear to me whether the true
rate of new infections is increasing or we’re just getting better at
detecting it, or both.
“For the general public, if you’re not traveling to endemic areas, your risk is vanishingly small,” he added.
For those that do get infected, Lieberman said there are various treatment options available
“The good news is treatment is going to be much more mild for the
disease type that we’re seeing in the U.S,. but for returning travelers
who may have more severe disease or other types of infections that go to
organs or go to the insides of the nose and the mouth, those can
require toxic drugs,” he said.
Last month, The Western Journal reported
on the existence of a “parasitic brain worm” known in scientific
circles as Angiostrongylus cantonensis. According to the CDC, the
parasite was discovered in various coastal states and is believed to
have originated in Asia.
‘Hemisphere’: Secret White House Surveillance Program Allows Cops To Spy On Trillions Of US Phone Records Without Warrants
by Alicia Powe221 Comments
Even Democrats are pushing back against Biden’s police state.
US Senator Ron Wyden, D-Ore., is blowing the whistle on a secretive
surveillance program that permits federal, state, local and Tribal law
enforcement agencies to surveil over a trillion domestic phone records
annually.
On Sunday, Sen. Wyden sent a letter
to the Department of Justice warning the Data Analytical Services,
formerly known as Hemisphere Project, illegally authorizes government
agencies to track, monitor Americans’ calls and analyze the phone
records of everyday people who are not suspected of committing any
crime, including victims of crimes.
The Democrat lawmaker called on Attorney General Merrick Garland to
publicly disclose all documents related to the Hemisphere phone
surveillance program. While the documents are not classified, the
Justice Department has categorized them as “Law Enforcement Sensitive”
to prevent them from being publicly released.
Hemisphere relies on chain analysis, a technique that facilitates
government agencies to spy on the targeted individuals as well as anyone
who has been in contact with the targeted individual without warrants.
“I have serious concerns about the legality of this surveillance
program, and the materials provided by the DOJ contain troubling
information that would justifiably outrage many Americans and other
members of Congress,” Wyden wrote
in a letter to Garland. “While I have long defended the government’s
need to protect classified sources and methods, this surveillance
program is not classified and its existence has already been
acknowledged by the DOJ in federal court.
“The public interest in an informed debate about government surveillance outweighs the need to keep this information secret.”
Hemisphere is run in coordination
with the telecom giant AT&T. AT&T captures and conducts analysis
of US call records for law enforcement agencies, from local police and
sheriff’s departments to US customs offices and postal inspectors across
the country.
In 2009, The White House Office of
National Drug Control Policy began paying AT&T to allow all law
enforcement agencies to probe AT&T customers’ phone records as far
back as 1987.
All calls that use AT&T’s infrastructure, a matrix of routers and
switches across the United States, are subject to targeting by the DAS
program. Information collected includes caller and recipient names,
phone numbers, and dates and times of calls.
ONDCP has provided more than $6 million to the program to date.
In
2013, the White House funding for Hemisphere was suspended after it was
exposed by the New York Times, but that same year, federal funding for
the program continued under “a new generic sounding name, ‘Data
Analytical Services,'” Wyden notes, in his letter to the DOJ. “ONDCP
funding for this surveillance program was quietly resumed by the Trump
Administration in 2017, paused again in 2021, the first year of the
Biden Administration, and then quietly restarted again in 2022.
Law enforcement agencies abusing its AT&T partnership with government agencies to circumvent laws, Wyden explained.
“One law enforcement official described the Hemisphere Project as
‘AT&T’s Super Search Engine’ and … ‘Google on Steroids,’ according
to emails released by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) under
the Freedom of Information Act,” he wrote. Although the Hemisphere Project is paid for with federal funds, they are delivered to AT&T through an obscure grant program, enabling the program to skip an otherwise mandatory federal privacy review.
“If the funds came directly from a federal agency, such as the DEA, Hemisphere would have been subjected to a mandatory Privacy Impact Assessment conducted by the Department of Justice (DOJ) Office of Privacy and Civil Liberties, the findings of which would be made public. Instead, ONDCP provides funding for the program through the Houston High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA), one of 33 regional funding organizations as a part of a grant program created by Congress and administered by ONDCP. The HIDTAs distribute federal anti-drug law enforcement grants to state and local agencies, and are governed by a board made up entirely of federal, state, and local law enforcement officials.”
Wyden, a lead sponsor of the Government Surveillance Reform Act is demanding swift congressional action on the federally funded government surveillance program.
Wyden along with Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, and Reps. Warren Davidson, R-Ohio, and Zoe Lofgren, D-Calif introduced the Government Surveillance Reform Act earlier this month to crackdown on the federal government’s “disturbing” misuse of surveillance authorities.
“Americans know that it is possible to confront our country’s
adversaries ferociously without throwing our constitutional rights in
the trash can. But for too long surveillance laws have not kept up with
the changing times,” Wyden said in a statement
announcing the bill on Nov. 7. “Our bill continues to give government
agencies broad authority to collect information on threats at home and
abroad, including the ability to act quickly in emergencies and settle
up with the court later,” he added. “But it creates much stronger
protections for the privacy of law-abiding Americans, and restores the
warrant protections that are at the heart of the Fourth Amendment.”
The proposed measure would also reform Section 702 of the Foreign
Intelligence Surveillance Act, which allows warrantless surveillance of
electronic communications targeting foreigners located outside of the
United States. While Section 702 is designed to acquire foreign
intelligence information, a massive amount of data from American
citizens is frequently collected as the foreign target is surveilled.
Section 702 is set to expire at the end of this year unless reauthorized by federal lawmakers.
In May, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence in consultation with the Department of Justice released a redacted Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court opinion confirming
the FBI misused the Section 702 database over 278,000 times, including
data it collected in its search of information related to people
suspected of protesting at the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, donors to
congressional candidates and protesters arrested after the death of
George Floyd.
Also, Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) wrote,
“I just contacted the White House Office of National Drug Control
Policy (ONDCP) Director in response to disturbing new info related to a
mass surveillance program called The Hemisphere Project. These programs
are all about CONTROL over Americans.”
Four women were injured in a stabbing spree at Louisiana Tech University on Monday morning.
“Shortly after 9 a.m. there was a stabbing incident reported at the
Lambright Sports and Wellness Center on the Louisiana Tech University
campus. Tech Police received a phone call at approximately 9:08 a.m. and
had the suspect in custody at approximately 9:12 a.m.,” the school said
in a statement.
“The attack happened outside of the building as the victims were
leaving. The suspect then fled south toward main campus and was
apprehended by campus police without incident.” the school said.
The university referred to the stabbing spree as a “random act of violence.”
The suspect, Jacoby Johnson, 23, was charged with four counts
of attempted second-degree murder. Police reportedly previously had a
run-in with Johnson, however, details of the encounter were not
released.
According to reports,
at least one victim was slashed in the face, and other victims
reportedly have neck wounds. One victim was airlifted from the scene and
taken to Northern Louisiana Medical Center.
The Ruston Daily Leader
identified the victims as “former 3rd District Judge Cynthia Woodard,
artist Annie Richardson, and retired teacher Debby Hollimon, all of
Ruston, and Tech graduate student Dominique McKane.”
Two of the stabbing victims are in critical condition.
