Was he already in possession of a passport (is that usual for many citizens of countries like Liberia?), or was that provided by some outside agency?<br /><br />These questions cannot be simply dismissed as paranoia. A few more facts concerning Mr. Duncan and his travel arrangements would be nice to have.Reg Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14099612693763932005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6557458849091969678.post-46941366270106740392014-10-07T04:36:47.433-04:002014-10-07T04:36:47.433-04:00Pascal - as always - nails it.Pascal - as always - nails it.KGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01940428991630766942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6557458849091969678.post-86852671314578339542014-10-06T18:05:39.143-04:002014-10-06T18:05:39.143-04:00Joseph,

If 1/7 of Israel's population has an IQ of 83, then to get to a 95 average for the country then the rest have to have an average IQ of 97. If by "Israel" the researchers are also including the disputed territories of the West Bank, you can add in another 2 million or so Arabs, resulting in approximately 1/3 of the population having an average IQ of 83. If that's the case, then getting to an average of 95 requires the remainder of the population to have an average IQ of 101, quite near the top of the list. FYI, Ashkenazi Jews (those descended from Europeans) are reputed to have an average IQ of 115 in some studies; if that is true, and Ashkenazi Jews make up approximately 1/2 of the Jewish population of Israel, then this would imply an average IQ of 87 for non-Ashenazi Jews. I don't think that this is true, and as such I share your misgivings at the overall level of 95 for Israel, even including the West Bank Arabs.<br /><br />With regard to the subject of this thread, I don't think that Ms. Barnhardt is completely wrong. Stupidity kills, whether it is actual stupidity or the kind that is voluntarily taken on - specifically, political correctness, which is the art of either ignoring or twisting facts to suit a previously-determined political/ideological agenda. Yes, stupidity will kill us - for so long as we let it do so.A Texannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6557458849091969678.post-33543231200969326502014-10-05T03:56:15.785-04:002014-10-05T03:56:15.785-04:00Ms. Barnhardt's theory, if it is correct, woul...Ms. Barnhardt's theory, if it is correct, would make Mr Duncan (and those like him) a useful idiot to the death cults. The death cults are clearly happy with our official open border policies, so there is a huge probability that their influence helped form this fatal policy. <br /><br />Now if only she was as hard on our craven dealt cult as she is with the Islamic one, then her focus would be complete. <br /><br />Still, I'll settle for her half loaf if it serves to highlight that there must be another reason -- beyond mere PC -- that our Western leaders have strict policies (open borders, lax heath checks, and pro-Muslim while acting belittling to hostile of Western religious ethos) that lead to the death or submission of Westerners.Pascalhttp://pascalfervor.blogspot.com/2014/09/the-best-indeed.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6557458849091969678.post-55801018266989029382014-10-04T22:12:03.618-04:002014-10-04T22:12:03.618-04:00It is important to remember that the feelings of t...It is important to remember that the <i>feelings</i> of the "vibrant" (I forget who coined that word) is more important than <i>your</i> heath and safety, or the health and safety of the American public.

As with most of the rest of government the CDC routinely lies to the American people for fear of offending minority sensibilities.

There appear to be two problems: definition and reality. The definition of airborne seems too narrow: airborne vs not airborne is not a sharp boundary; coughs and sneezes aerosolize droplets of bodily fluid so if a sick person sneezes on you....you likely catch it. Secondly previous outbreaks have been limited to at most a few hundred people.This outbreak so far has gotten at least one order of magnitude larger and not burned out....that suggests higher transmissibility. I would suspect the CDC researchers in their level four labs treat this pathogen as if it could kill you by a single glance, let alone airborne transmission. Perhaps we should be less categorical and more cautious.Differhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15581662615586346808noreply@blogger.com
