Venezuela's state Governor, Tareck El Aissami?

Gee, that name sure doesn't sound very Venezuelan to me . . . let's see who this character really is, and look at what we have here:

Ebola is particularly suited to ravaging densly populated areas with poor sanitation. If this is the dreaded “e” word, fasten your seat belts.

Given the coincidence of this happening in Venezuela and what's happened here with Mr. Duncan (from Liberia), this stands the hair up on the back of my neck.

Given the Hamas, Hezbollah, alQaeda, bin Laden, Baathist, _____fill in the blank Islam related jihadi label of choice and the threats emanating from IS/ISIS/ISIL this week . . . it seems biological warfare is very likely and aimed against the US.

Yep it reminds me of an old song...

“Generals gathered in their masses
Just like witches at black masses
Evil minds that plot destruction
Sorcerers of death’s construction
In the fields the bodies burning
As the war machine keeps turning
Death and hatred to mankind
Poisoning their brainwashed minds... “

so they’re just going to call it a “hemorrhagic fever” instead of ebola to avoid the stigma?

quality

stats tracking of the disease is about to get very difficult as politicians start changing the terms used

Thanks,I've not seen .The Horsemen Arrive - Blue Öyster Cult before.

(I also never noticed the umlaut over the Ö before in BOC, nice added emphasis - sounds like 'oy')

(song by Blue Öyster Cult off of the 'Bad Channels' soundtrack.

Forgive me if my laughter sounds cracked

Forgive me if I smile badly

It's only that I've run off the track

Derailed by the irony

Forgive me if my laughter sounds cracked

Forgive me if I smile badly

It's only that I've run off the track

Derailed by the irony

Can you hear the hooves, can you hear the riders coming

On presidential roofs listen to the sinister drumming

Can you hear the hooves, can you hear the riders coming

On presidential roofs hear the sinister drumming

They warn of Armageddon, they warn us of apocalypse

The future's as a fool's invention

Of choking skies and computer chips

(There's a nightmare) civilization

(There's a monster) industry

Four horsemen have already arrived

I see them above us, already here

Four horsemen with hooves like knives

I say again, already here

(There's a nightmare) civilization

(There's a monster) industry

(There's a devil) human corruption

(There's a vampire) human greed

Can you hear the hooves, can you hear the riders coming

On presidential roofs listen to the sinister drumming

Can you hear the hooves, can you hear the riders coming

A derivative similar to Lassa Fever, and hosted by mice.

It was never released on an “official” BOC album.

It and “Demon’s Kiss” were included in the score of “Bad Channels”, for which they provided the score.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bad_Channels_%28album%29

The umlaut started as joke and now it’s part of rock and roll legend.

Lots of bands started sticking umlauts and other totally pointless diacritical marks on their names.

Expert: Venezuelan Vice President ‘One of Hezbollah’s Great Bagmen’
3/26/2018, 6:20:16 PM · by detective · 6 replies
Breitbart ^ | 26 Mar 2018 | Edwin Mora
Venezuela’s Vice President Tareck El Aissami, an official of Syrian-Lebanese origin sanctioned by the United States for his connections to drug trafficking, is a “huge” monetary contributor to Iran’s narco-terrorist proxy Hezbollah. Citing sources on the ground in Lebanon during an event late last week hosted on Capitol Hill by the Center for a Secure Free Society (SFS), Dr. Vanessa Neumann, a leading expert on drug cartels and terrorist groups in Latin America, told Breitbart News, “Tareck El Aissami is one of Hezbollah’s great bagmen, a sort of huge funder, and the money goes through the networks, and then, as...
