200,000 from Ebola countries have visas to enter US (Obama visa rubber-stamper)
washingtonexaminer.com ^ | 9/15/14 | Paul Bedard, "Washington Secrets" columnist

Posted on 09/16/2014 5:42:30 AM PDT by Liz

There are about 200,000 Africans from countries hosting the deadly Ebola virus who hold temporary visas to visit the United States, greatly raising the stakes it could spread to America, according to a group following the immigration issue.

“Based on State Department nonimmigrant visa issuance statistics, I estimate that there are about 5,000 people in Guinea, 5,000 people in Sierra Leone, and 3,500 people in Liberia who possess visas to come to the United States today,” said Jessica M. Vaughan, director of policy studies at the Center for Immigration Studies.

Add to that “more than 195,000 Nigerians” with visas to visit, or who could already be here, she said of the country that has seen temporary U.S. visas skyrocket.

The government has promised that the U.S. is safe, but that’s not good enough for Vaughan. “At this time, with an extremely serious public health threat and more than 200,000 people who potentially could enter and spread it, either knowingly or unknowingly, the State Department and Department of Homeland Security should disclose to the public what they are doing to prevent travelers infected with Ebola from entering the country,” she told Secrets.

The Ebola crisis is also drawing attention to citizens from Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia who overstay their visas. Vaughan said that the overstay rate of those from Ebola-impacted nations should be a concern.

Obama appointee---Leon Rodrigues at USCIS (a DHS agency) ----has been outed as rubber-stamping undesirables from 144 countries into the US. Rodrigues also over sees EB-5 visas.

. In an earlier statement, Sen Charles Grassley (REPUB--IOWA) said ICE identified key vulnerabilities in EB-5 visas:

1) Export of sensitive technology/economic espionage.

2) Use by foreign government agents/espionage.

3) Use by terrorists.

4) Investment fraud by regional center.

5) Investment fraud by investors.

6) Fraud conspiracies by investors and regional center.

7) Illicit finance/money laundering.

==================================================

ARE MEXICAN CARTELS BUYING US CITIZENSHIP? EB-5 visas---under Rodrigues' purview---are said to involve major threats to US national security:

================================================

Eye-opening exchanges at the recent House Judiciary hearing on immigration.

<><> Patriot Cong Randy Forbes (Rep-VA) said Americans need to know if violent gang members are walking their streets. Forbes asked UCIS--a DHS agency--headed by Obama appointee Leon Rodrigues---whether the agency asked applicants about gang membership---and when they invariably reply no, how does the agency know whether it's true or not?

The calculated Rodriguez would not reveal information---Forbes insisted on knowing "do you even ask them if they're gang members."

==================================================

Rodriguez's confirmation hearings revealed he was a board member of Casa Maryland---a latino-centric advocacy group---pushing for unlimited immigration, and has connections to nationwide immigrant groups.

=================================================

ACTION--CONTACT FBI TIPS PAGE WEB SITE---YOU MAY REMAIN ANONYMOUS---https://tips.fbi.gov

<><> Taxpayers demand Rodriguez, USCIS, the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, La Raza, and other tax-funded latino groups, be investigated. Supboena official filings, phone records, emails, snail mail copies, hard drives, bank accounts, checking accounts, credit cards, debit cards, wire transfers, social media contacts, and the like.

<><> Taxpayers demand to know if govt factotums like Rodriguez, and the aforementioned tax-funded groups, are consorting with violent organizations advocating the overthrow of the US govt.

<><> TAXPAYERS demand to know who these people are communicating with, and who is directing their activities.

Mindless bureaucratic rubber-stamping of visas is what gave us 9-11.

Great policy there, LIBs. My hope is the ebola virus is intelligent and chooses to only attack LIBs. That would prove its intelligence.

No political fall out for the libs. The RINOs will be only too happy to support the open borders meme so as to spread the blame over both parties.

U.N. to dump flood of Muslim refugees on U.S.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3204504/posts

The Obama administration has been greasing the skids for the Syrian refugees for months, WND has learned, and the refugees will soon be dumped on American cities throughout the U.S.

Vanity - Ebola model projects future case based on Daily Transmission Rate

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3204322/posts

post 14
Am I reading this correctly? You are projecting close to 5 Billion cases by the end of the next 12 months?

Only if the current Daily Transmission Rate holds that long and if the current reported numbers represent 75% of the true numbers. There are many factors that could increase (bad) or decrease (good) that rate.

How do 200,000 Africans afford to go on transatlantic vacations to the United States?

Or more specifically, how many of these 200,000 “tourist” visa applicants applied for tourist visas with the express plan to overstay their tourist visas, become “undocumented immigrants”, and get jobs driving taxis?

Good points. Course I can't prove it now---just connecting the dots---but there's a good chance Obama is financing this under the table.

BACKSTORY----OBAMA'S HALF-BROTHER LINKED TO MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD
WND | Jerome R. Corsi / August 2013 / FR Posted by barmag25

NEW YORK – Malik, Pres Obama’s half-brother in Kenya could cause the White House more headaches over new evidence (1) linking Malik to the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, and, (2) establishing a controversial tax-exempt fast-tracked by then-IRS supervisor Lois Lerner.

Malik Obama’s duties as overseer of the Muslim Brotherhood’s international investments is one reason for the Obama administration’s support of the Muslim Brotherhood, according to an Egyptian report citing the vice president of the Supreme Constitutional Court of Egypt...

Read more at http://www.wnd.com/2013/08/obamas-brother-linked-to-muslim-brotherhood/#ldfzAyHJuZUAkSp5.99 (Excerpt) Read more at wnd.com .....

The Malik Obama IRS filing exposes that Lois Lerner used govt offices to apparently aid and abet money laundering and tax evasion----and that, most egregiously, Lerner used govt offices to grant an alien resident, with documented ties to terrorist organizations---tax-exempt privileges that she denied to authentic Americans (based solely on the spurious fact that Americans run conservative organizations which are disliked by president Obama).

The alien resident,-Malik, who resides in Kenya---was granted Tax-exempt statust via a falsified 501 (c) (3) application. Malik Obama's workplace is located in the Sudan-- on file & listed on his own website.

Apparently the alien resident was granted tax exempt license as the modus operandi to collect US taxpayers dollars & funnel them overseas......also troubling are the alien's joint overseas investments.

===================================================

NOTE WELL: When he went to jail, investigators found Ponzi King Bernie Madoff had stashed billions offshore---into a labyrinth of financial entities. Some $8.9 billion was funneled to Madoff through a dozen so-called feeder funds based in Europe, the Caribbean and Central America......a labyrinth of hedge funds, management companies and service providers.

To unsuspecting outsiders, it seemed to compose a formidable system of checks and balances. But the purpose of this complex architecture was just the opposite: the feeder funds provided different modes for directing money to Madoff, and other entities, in order to avoid scrutiny.

NEWS FLASH OBAMA GIVES 50 MILLION DOLLARS IN
(cough) FOREIGN AID TO KENYA.
O'S KENYAN HALF-BROTHER
CASHES IN?---VIA THE TAX-EXEMPT DO-GOOD "OBAMA FOUNDATION"?

=================================================

ALL MUSLIM ALL THE TIME The tax-exempt Barack H. Obama Foundation is run by Abon’go “Roy” Malik Obama, the Muslim half-brother of Barack Obama.

The foundation’s (cough) mission statement is “to provide people everywhere with resources to uplift their welfare and living standards in memory of dad---Barack H. Obama: in the region of his birth, Kenya, and beyond.” Its guiding principle is “the inherent belief that no one can truly enjoy the riches he has reaped if his neighbor suffers....."We seek to elevate the human condition so that everyone can live in dignity and truly enjoy having one another as neighbors.”

(same old sap-happy do-gooder schtick: whining about helping
their fellow-man---and hoping to make a buck on it)

Despite raising more than $250,000, the alleged charity doesn’t seem to have done much. Its website claims the tax-exempt foundation built a Muslim madrassa in Kenya and was building an imam’s house as well as some “proposed latrines,” but there is no other evidence that the nonprofit was working to “mitigate social-shortcomings in areas of education and literacy, health and well-being, poverty, and lack of community infrastructure in such basic needs such as water, electricity, shelter and sustenance,” as the site says.

Alton Ray Baysden, a former Dept of State employee, allegedly a registered Republican, who helped start the Barack H Obama foundation, declined to comment before seeing copies of a reporter’s passport and govt ID, along with a description of the article’s “motivation” and “slant.”

Repeated reporters' phone calls went to the organization’s voicemail and were not returned.

Taxpayers demand that tax-exempt Obama Foundation records be released--we need to know if any of our tax dollars are financing directly or indirectly Muslim terrorism or invasions of "impoverished" Ebola carriers.

L/E needs to examine the Obama Foundation's bank accounts---and transactions used to pay for its activities.

The "Bank Secrecy Act" was passed to protect the public from harm by identifying and detecting criminal enterprises, money laundering, tax evasion or other unlawful activities. Under the Bank Secrecy Act, banks are required to establish, implement and maintain programs designed to detect and report suspicious activity that might be indicative of tax fraud, govt fraud. money laundering, embezzlement, and other financial crimes.

<><> Joint bank accounts might be used to facilitate the transfer of tax-exempt funds. Foundation monies may pay for personal and private expenses, credit cards, real estate subsidies, campaign expenses, travel, and vehicle purchases. <><> To cover their tracks, fake invoices might be created to show that money deposited into foundation accounts was being used for legitimate allowable purposes.

The scheme might be advanced by issuing phony statements of payments from financial sources that actually covered the transfer of funds for their own use.

<><> L/E is directed to get ahold of: (1) copies of foundation checks, (2) wire transfers, (3) account statements, (4) invoices, (5) bills, (6) delivery tickets, (7) correspondence including e-mail, contracts, loan agreements, and, (8) any other books or records. L/E should also explore (a) monies paid to brokers, sub- brokers, (b) family members, (c) mortgage brokers, (d) financial managers, and, (e) real estate agents, brokers, and developers.

<><> L/E should scrutinize foundation bank accounts for suspicious activities: (A) large deposits, (B) funds transferred from one account into another, (C) frequent requests for withdrawals.

<><> Bank records might also show diversions to secret LLC other accounts, to money launder and to operate personal ventures---like campaigns.

Tax fraud can also be facilitated by withdrawals, gift cards purchases, credit card purchases and intra-bank transfers from foundation accounts into personal and campaign accounts. <><> A huge tipoff is whether bank withdrawals support campaign activities and luxurious lifestyle including payments for real estate, investment and stock holdings, jewelry, luxury vehicles, resort travel....... and gifts from luxury outlets for wives and mistresses.

Taxpayers demand the Bank Secrecy Act be used to prosecute foundation fraud pronto.

<><> L/E is directed to get ahold of: (1) copies of Clinton Foundations' assorted checks, (2) wire transfers, (3) account statements, (4) invoices, (5) bills, (6) delivery tickets, (7) correspondence including e-mail, contracts, loan agreements, and, (8) any other books or records. L/E should also explore (a) monies paid to brokers, sub-brokers, (b) family members, (c) mortgage brokers, (d) financial managers, and, (e) real /estate agents, brokers, and developers.

<><> L/E should scrutinize the Foundation's assorted bank accounts for suspicious activities: (A) large deposits, (B) funds transferred from one account into another, (C) frequent requests for withdrawals.

And study those tax returns with a fine-tooth comb.

Bring Out Your Dead

We’re gonna need

a bigger cart!

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

So far the false positive rate is 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

After all, they're just rarin' to go back home and catch it.
