Symptomatic Chikungunya

Symptomatic Chikungunya

 

Chikungunya isn’t some new poultry dish or the latest Latino dance craze.  No such luck.  Rather, it just may be another unintended consequence of the southern invasion of the United States by tens of thousands, possibly soon hundreds of thousands, of un-inoculated, often disease-ridden, illegal aliens who, along with their backpacks, carry with them communicable ailments never before seen in America as well as sicknesses we thought had been eradicated.

Add to those thousands the eleven or twelve million un-inoculated, often disease-ridden, illegal aliens who have already set up residence here and we have a problem, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, Minneapolis, New York, etc., a problem with serious, national repercussions.

Don’t expect the Barack Hussein Obama administration to announce that medical news since they have enabled and encouraged said invasion and they certainly wouldn’t want to be held responsible for either the disabling or deadly epidemics that could be in our future.

However, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the national public health institute of the United States, an agency operating under the aegis of the Department of Health and Human Services, has provided Americans with some insight on the chikunguya danger.

As explained on the CDC website: “Chikungunya–virus transmitted to people by mosquitoes. The most common symptoms of chikungunya virus infection are fever and joint pain. Other symptoms may include headache, muscle pain, joint swelling, or rash. Outbreaks have occurred in countries in Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Indian and Pacific Oceans. In late 2013, chikungunya virus was found for the first time in the Americas on islands in the Caribbean. There is a risk that the virus will be imported to new areas by infected travelers. There is no vaccine to prevent or medicine to treat chikungunya virus infection. Travelers can protect themselves by preventing mosquito bites. When traveling to countries with chikungunya virus, use insect repellent, wear long sleeves and pants, and stay in places with air conditioning or that use window and door screens.”

The CDC boasts as its motto, “CDC 24/7–”Saving Lives, Protecting People,” but to date has done little if anything to save and protect Americans from chikungunya or from worse diseases like tuberculosis and polio being imported to our country from the south. . . .

The Death of America's Borders

The Death of America's Borders

 

In June, Chicago’s prestigious Newberry Library’s Dr. William Scholl Center for American History and Culture hosted a four-week  meeting billed as “Bridging National Borders in North America,” a “National Endowment for the Humanities Summer Seminar for College and University Faculty.”

The confab dealt with “the process of border-making” and “how nation-states claiming exclusive territorial sovereignty re-drew the continent’s map, the intersection and sometimes collision of these efforts with other ways of organizing space and people, the social and political consequences of the enforcement of national territoriality, how diverse peoples challenge national borders, or use or alter them for their own purposes, and, how does consideration of these topics recast our understanding of the national and intertwined histories of Mexico, the United States, and Canada.”

Disclaimer: Though that’s all patently, pretentiously drivel, I admit I wasn’t in attendance to hear it.  Nevertheless, I’m convinced it was simply more academia bullsh*t intended to rationalize with implausible reasoning the national and humanitarian debacle now going on down in America’s Southwest.

Considering the typically liberal-leftist nature of such get-togethers of America’s educational elite and of the National Endowment for the Humanities, a so-called “independent” agency of the United States government totally dependent on federal largesse for its existence, my presence was hardly necessary in order to know that a primary focus of their seminar had to have been the ongoing, unprecedented influx through our southwest border of hundreds of thousands of now-designated “undocumented immigrants.”

The extent of those violations of our laws, of our national sovereignty, of the brazen criminality being committed by the constitutionally-contemptuous constitutional scholar, Barack Hussein Obama, and his administration have been fully documented even if his captive mainstream media feigns obliviousness of the damage they have been inflicting on our country by their obsequious genuflections to a proven inept and un-American president.

I would refer readers to the rare exception to lib-left dominance of the news media, TheDrudgeReport.com, for objective articles covering what  America’s former community organizer, mostly-absent Illinois state senator, and overachieving United States senator Barack Hussein Obama has done to America during his five+ year tenure.

Drudge has provided verifiable links to stories dealing with everything from protests against the massive alien intrusions to pro-amnesty supporters burning the American flag to our commander-in-chief’s opting to fund raise instead of actually visiting border invasion sites to our government threatening journalists and border patrol agents should they dare report the truth concerning the unprecedented mess.

While adequately linking to those articles, Drudge fails to devote sufficient attention to the three most serious implications of our southwestern disaster: disease, destabilization, and terrorism. . . . (Read more at http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/?p=37923.)
