Ebola-hit Liberia has suspended nationwide elections in the latest measure to combat an epidemic which has shut down society in three west African nations, restricting travel and forcing the cancellation of public events.

Almost three million voters had been due to take part in Senate polls on Tuesday but organisers said there was no way a "mass movement, deployment and gathering of people" could go ahead without endangering lives.

President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf was exercising powers under a state of emergency announced in August "to suspend... any and all rights ordinarily exercised, enjoyed and guaranteed to citizens," the foreign office said in a statement issued late Wednesday, quoting a presidential proclamation.

Liberia, which has seen more than half of the almost 4,000 deaths so far in the outbreak ravaging west Africa, had been due to elect half of its legislative upper chamber.

The election commission said in a statement it had recommended the postponement because it could not conduct "a free, fair, transparent and credible election" because of the epidemic.

Unbelieveable. You beat me to it. That is exactly what I was going to post.

This would explain one of the reasons our elites want it here.

And ellipses has two “l’s”

Coming to an ‘ebola-hit’ nation near you!

[cuban leaf]

It is possible pieces are falling together. It depends on what they actually do...

[Focault's Pendulum]

Double hmmm.

[MrB]

Three means that it goes on indefinitely.
Four means that it goes on but has an end.

[Dog]

We are about to witness what can happen when a society collapse..

There butfor the grace of god...

[dforest]

We are all being manipulated. They do not care who dies as long as they get their NWO.

What is going on in the US right now needs to be stopped.

[Paine in the Neck]

"Hmmm...They can do that?"

[Resolute Conservative]

Dress rehearsal.

[tcrlaf]

“Dress rehearsal.”

BINGO...

[depressed in 06]

Hmmm....

Exactly!

A model for ObOzO.

[DoughtyOne]

Good one.

[DoughtyOne]

Now Obama's plan becomes crystal clear.

Rush just had a caller say the same thing.

This would explain one of the reasons our elites want it here.

I'm not buying into that one. How would the "elites" escape such an epidemic themselves? Do the "elites" have some sort of immunity against Ebola?

No, there's no government conspiracy here. However, I'll concede that our current government is incompetent and inept in just about every conceivable way.

I’m willing to bet there’s at least one treatment we haven’t heard about. And the elites count on heading to their little enclaves if/when things get dicey.

We’ve already seen one ‘treatment’, ZMapp, appear out of nowhere if the ‘right person’ got ebola. I’m willing to bet there’s more such treatments. For the right sort of people.
