World War 3, West Asian Front-Syria: Obama orders U.S. personnel to occupy Jordan in massive troop buildup! Preps for invasion of Syria?

22 June 2013 (13:08 UTC-07 Tango)/13 Sha’ban 1434/01 Tir 1391/15 Wu-Wu (5th month) 4711

“The detachment will remain in Jordan, in full coordination with the government of Jordan, until the security situation becomes such that it is no longer needed.”-Barack Obama, President of United States

After months of saying U.S. Marines, and other personnel were in Jordan for war games, U.S. President Barack Obama has ordered 700 Marines (originally scheduled to leave) to remain incountry indefinitely.

Analysts claim Obama is only responding to a request for military help from the British installed Hashemite king of Jordan, Abdullah II ibn Al-Hussein: “The Jordanians came dead set on pushing the Americans to create a safe zone. They didn’t get it, but they left with some reassurances and I think the troops are part of that.”-Elizabeth O’Bagy, Institute for the Study of War

Not only will U.S. Marines be left behind, but U.S. Army Patriot missiles systems and their crews, USAF F-16 fighter/bomber aircraft and personnel, and other personnel and equipment for command & control operations.  There are now more than 5000 U.S. military personnel in Jordan.

Main streamer U.S. news media reporting that only 1000 U.S. personnel are in Jordan, but U.S. military news source, Stars and Stripes, reports that at least 5000 U.S. personnel are incountry for war games called Eager Lion, along with 3000 military personnel from 19 other countries.  That exercise officially ended on 20 June 2013, which means almost all those 8000 U.S. backed personnel are still there.

Also, the U.S. Department of Defense officials revealed that at least 200 personnel and their equipment, from the U.S. Army’s 1st Armored Division will be deploying to Jordan.

Obama also intimated that it was all about going to war with Syria: “The deployment of this detachment has been directed in furtherance of U.S. national security and foreign policy interests, including the important national interests in supporting the security of Jordan and promoting regional stability….”

Back at the beginning of June, Syrian news media reported that U.S. Marines were spotted along the border with Jordan and Syria.  Syrian news media also claimed that sources in the United States told them the 26th Marine Expeditionary Force were not in Jordan for war games, as Obama spokesmen repeatedly stated.

Obama made the announcement of Jordanian occupation to the U.S. Congress as part of the War Powers Act reporting procedures.

Government Evil: U.S. backed Israel uses Palestinian children for child sacrifice rituals, disguised as security operations! Read here what the other news sources aren’t reporting!

20 June 2013 (14:22 UTC-07 Tango)/11 Sha’ban 1434/30 Khordad 1391/13 Wu-Wu (5th month) 4711

“Palestinian children being shot by the State party’s [Israeli] military near the Gaza border whilst collecting building material to support their families in the reconstruction of their homes, 30 such cases having been reported over the reporting period…”

In Israel, a child who throws a stone can spend 20 years in prison, under Israeli law!

The following excerpts are from the results of a ten year United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child investigation:

“The Committee is also concerned that the average spending per child in the Arab localities is estimated to be more than a third lower than in Jewish localities and that the State party [Israel] fails to take into account the unequal level of resources provided to the two health systems to explain the persistent disparities in relation to health indicators between the Arab and Jewish children.”

“The Committee also expresses concern that Palestinian non-governmental organizations and international human rights organizations working in the OPT [Occupied Palestinian Territories] are increasingly perceived as a threat to national security and are subject to, among others, harassment, arrest and denial of work permits.”

“The Committee also expresses concern about the adoption of numerous discriminatory laws……which affect primarily Palestinian children in all aspects of their life but also Arab Israeli, Bedouins, and Ethiopian children as well as children of migrant workers and asylum seekers…..the implementation of two separate legal systems and institutions amount to de facto segregation….”

“The Committee expresses serious concerns that hundreds of Palestinian children have been killed and thousands injured over the reporting period as a result of the State party military operations, especially in Gaza where the State party proceeded to air and naval strikes on densely populated areas with a significant presence of children….”

“The rise in the number of children from the OPT being subjected to attacks by settlers in the West Bank……in most of the cases Israeli military forces not only fail to intervene to prevent violence and to protect children, but also bring support to those committing violence. The Committee further notes with concern that, in most of the cases, perpetrators are not brought to justice and enjoy full impunity for their crimes….”

“The devastating impact on….children living in the OPT….a collective punishment imposed in clear violation of Israel’s obligations under international humanitarian law.”

“[Israeli] courts are not obliged to hear the opinions of the child…in adoption proceedings…children are not aware of being adopted.”

“The ban on the granting of Israeli citizenship to children born of an Israeli parent and a parent from the OPT, the decision of the State party to stop processing for residency applications for Palestinian children since 2000 as well as the arbitrary revocation of residency and identity of those living in East Jerusalem have resulted in thousands of unregistered Palestinian children excluded from access to health services, education and any other type of social benefits as well as in thousands of children being prevented from living with their parents…”

“Children of migrants born in the State party often do not receive an official birth certificate but a hand-written official notification without the father’s name being indicated. The Committee is also concerned about information that migrant families who are unable to cover the cost of hospitalisation might be denied birth notification, and about reported cases of migrant families who have to pay exorbitant costs for a DNA test….reported cases of families forced to sign voluntary return declarations to be able to obtain official birth certificates.”

“…the [Israeli] Adoption of Children Law which allows hiding from a child the fact that he or she has been adopted……..result in the child being labelled as a ‘bastard’ according to Jewish Halasha.”

“….reported practice of torture and ill-treatment of Palestinian children arrested, prosecuted and detained by the military and the police….”

“Routinely arrested in the middle of the night by soldiers shouting instructions at the family and taken hand-tied and blindfolded to unknown destination without having the possibility to say good bye to their parents who rarely know where their children are taken;…Systematically subject to physical and verbal violence, humiliation, painful restraints, hooding of the head and face in a sack, threatened with death, physical violence, and sexual assault against themselves or members of their family, restricted access to toilet, food and water. These crimes are perpetrated from the time of arrest, during transfer and interrogation, to obtain a confession but also on an arbitrary basis as testified by several Israeli soldiers as well as during pre-trial detention; and…Held in solitary confinement, sometimes for months.”

“….high proportion of students reporting that they have experienced physical and emotional maltreatment, and that corporal punishment continues to be inflicted on children in detention.”

“….psychological violence inflicted on Palestinian children who witness their parents being beaten or humiliated and the demolition of their homes….”

“…..in 2008, the Israeli Defence Forces closed down two institutions for children in Hebron without any written instructions and proper alternative plans, evicting 3,192 children and confiscating all clothing, food, stationary and other supplies….”

“…deteriorated situation of health and health services for children in the OPT….due to [Israeli] attacks on hospitals and clinics….and the denial of and delays in…transfer…to medical facilities outside the OPT which have caused the death of many children and pregnant women….”

“…high level of mortality of Bedouin children living in so-called ‘unrecognized’ villages in the Negev who are deprived of basic health services….”

“Children in the Gaza Strip suffering from blood disorders and sanitation related diseases such as watery diarrhoea and typhoid due to daily exposure to highly contaminated water….”

“The Committee is concerned about the high rate of suicide and attempts at suicide among adolescents in the State party, especially among girls.”

“The Committee is concerned….about the privatization of social services…construction of the Wall…Land confiscation, large-scale demolition of Palestinian houses, expulsion of Palestinian and Bedouin families….constant fear of eviction and demolition….critical water shortage….due to prohibitions of access to natural resources….children living in so-called ‘unrecognized villages’….Children in the OPT increasingly suffering from chronic malnutrition….severe restrictions on access to agricultural land and the sea….by Israeli settlers and the State authorities.”

“Jewish and Arab children continue to be educated in segregated school systems…..with lower investment in the education system for Arab children which results in a severe shortage of classrooms, in substandard conditions and quality of teaching, low academic results and high school drop-out.”

“300 educational facilities have been damaged during the operation ‘Pillar of defence’….Palestinian schools were attacked by the State party military or settlers and in some cases used as military outposts or detention centres. Furthermore, children continue to be subject to harassment, threats and violence by the State party’s military and security forces as well as by settlers on their way to and from school….”

“The [Israeli] Anti-Infiltration Law enacted in January 2012 which allows for the prolonged detention of children, including child victims of exploitation, torture and trafficking…..rise in arrests since August 2011 of children of migrant workers, including children born in the State party, in extremely stressful conditions such as those conducted at night…..In 2011, 19 boys attempted suicide in the Matan detention facility of Harera and in the Givon detention facility, girls have been detained together with adults…..”

“…..continuous use of Palestinian children as human shields and informants….[Israeli] soldiers have used Palestinian children to enter potentially dangerous buildings ahead of them and to stand in front of military vehicles in order to stop the throwing of stones…..Almost all those using children as human shield and informants have remained unpunished and that the soldiers convicted for having forced at gunpoint a nine-year old child to search bags suspected of containing explosives only received a suspended sentence of three months and were demoted.”

“…..an estimated 7000 Palestinian children aged from 12 to 17 years, but sometimes as young as nine years, have been arrested, interrogated and detained….this number having increased by 73% since September 2011….Most of the Palestinian children arrested often on an arbitrary basis….236 children are currently detained for alleged security reasons, dozens of them are between the ages of 12 and 15….systematically subject to degrading treatment, and often to acts of torture, are interrogated in Hebrew, a language they do not understand, and sign confessions in Hebrew in order to be released;…Children are brought in leg chains and shackles wearing prison uniforms before military courts where confessions obtained from them under duress….transferred out of the OPT and serve their detention and sentences inside Israel in breach of Article 76 of the Fourth Geneva Convention….detained in overcrowded cells together with adults…”

Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman, Yigal Palmor, admitted to their evil by simply saying the investigation was “….simply recycling old stuff, there is no importance in that.”

Germany returns to NAZI police stateism! City of Berlin locked down for U.S. President Obama! Residents can’t even get to work without special passes!

20 June 2013 (03:04 UTC-07 Tango)/11 Sha’ban 1434/30 Khordad 1391/13 Wu-Wu (5th month) 4711

“This is insane. I’ve never seen so much security!”-a 20 year veteran newspaper editor in Berlin

U.S. President Barack Obama was given a welcome worthy of the Führer, when he arrived in Berlin, Germany!

The entire city of Berlin was locked down, even the Brandenburg Gate was closed to traffic.  Reporters with Deutsche Welle said people weren’t even allowed to open their windows, even though it was a hot day and many don’t have air conditioning: “‘Whatever you do, don’t open the windows,’ warns an experienced colleague, as two small figures move about on the roof of the government building opposite. They might be window cleaners, but they’re more likely to be snipers – sure to be targeting us, according to the colleague. It’s not quite clear whether he’s serious. The windows remain closed for safety reasons.”

There’s even reports that a Secret Service agent shoved German President Joachim Gauck, when he tried to greet Obama!  Reporters complain that their cell phones have been searched multiple times, the automatron security guards say only “Sorry, we have to do it.”

“Have you seen the American security officer with the thick legs? I’ve got a date with her afterwards!”-one of many German jokes about paranoid U.S. security personnel

At least 8000 polizie were deployed, complete with garish green painted armored vehicles, armed with remote control machine guns mounted on turrets.  All for 4000 to 6000 ‘invited’ guests to hear Obama give a hypocritical speech called Peace with Justice.

Obama even ripped off Kennedy and used the hilarious quote “Ich bin ein Berliner” (you see it actually means “I am a jelly donut” in Berlin dialect, because a Berliner is a type of jelly donut.  If you want to say you are a resident of the city then you should say “Ich bin Berliner”, drop the “ein”).

Oh, but Obama probably didn’t even realize how many Berliners he prevented from getting to work or errands, because of the massive NAZIistic security.

Berliners had to have special passes to cross certain streets, some gave up after waiting hours at check points.

Many Germans who lived in East Germany during the Cold War said it was like going back in time to Stasi control!  Markus Ferber, of the Christian Social Union political group, said Obama’s visit and the domestic spying program in the U.S. amounts to “American-style Stasi tactics.”

Who knows how much this is costing the taxpayers?  But polls still show Germans love Obama, someone get the man a toothbrush mustache and red, white & black armband!

It isn’t just that Germans love Obama, it turns out that the United States is the only thing keeping the German economy from crashing.

The United States is the largest investor into the German economy, and 50% of German foreign investments go to the United States.  U.S. companies provide at least 800000 jobs to Germans.  Germany is the third largest foreign employer in the U.S. (after Canada and United Kingdom. Hah, you thought it would be China)

Oh, but that doesn’t mean the economy is getting better.  On the same day that Noble Peace Prize winner Führer Obama arrived to give his Peace with Justice speech, Germany’s second largest Too Big to Jail bank, Commerzbank, announced it would layoff at least 5200 people over the next three years.

World War 3, Economic Front-United Police States of America: Prison number one reason men are unemployed?

19 June 2013 (14:19 UTC-07 Tango)/10 Sha’ban 1434/29 Khordad 1391/12 Wu-Wu (5th month) 4711

The U.S. Department of Labor reports that the percentage of men with jobs had dropped to 88%, in 2012.  There are several factors, but it seems there’s a correlation with the record breaking incarceration rates of men.

By the end of 2011 more than 2.2 million U.S. citizens, overwhelmingly men, were in prison.  And of those released from prison at least half will be imprisoned again.  That’s according to the U.S. Bureau of Justice (BoJ).

On top of that almost 5 million U.S. citizens are on parole, or some other form of ‘justice’ monitoring!

The BoJ also states that incarceration rates increased by 20 times from 1920 to 2006, even though the total U.S. population grew by only 2.8 times.  This is clear evidence that there is some kind-o-conspiracy to put people in prison.  Perhaps free labor for those corporate run for profit prisons?

“Louisiana is the world’s prison capital. The state imprisons more of its people, per head, than any of its U.S. counterparts. First among Americans means first in the world. Louisiana’s incarceration rate is nearly five times Iran’s, 13 times China’s and 20 times Germany’s.  The hidden engine behind the state’s well-oiled prison machine is cold, hard cash. A majority of Louisiana inmates are housed in for-profit facilities, which must be supplied with a constant influx of human beings or a $182 million industry will go bankrupt.”–The Times-Picayune

In 2009, two county judges in Pennsylvania pled guilty to accepting bribes, in exchange for illegally imprisoning children, mostly boys, in for profit corporate prisons.  It was called the Kids for Cash scandal.

An estimated 17% of federal prisoners are forced to work for UNICOR, aka Federal Prison Industries.  They make between 23 cents to $1.15 per hour, and 50% of that income goes to court ordered payments!

According to Harvard sociology professor, Bruce Western, 1.2% of white men and 9% of black men born right after the end of the Second World War (1945) had been to prison.  But when you look at men born just after 1975 the incarceration rates jump; 3.3% of white men and 20.7% of black men had been to prison!

Human Rights Watch says 56% of imprisoned people are mentally ill!

As of 2008, the official incarceration rate in the United States is 743 out of every 100,000 citizens.

The entire eastern half of the U.S., and the West Coast states, house the most prisoners.

Yes folks, the numbers are record breaking, and have made the United States of America the top country for imprisoning its own population, which, according to the propaganda we were told during the Cold War, is proof of an oppressive authoritarian regime!

False Flag Bio-War? GMO crops intended to create starvation in the U.S. & Canada?

19 June 2013 (04:08 UTC-07 Tango)/10 Sha’ban 1434/29 Khordad 1391/12 Wu-Wu (5th month) 4711

“The US (and Canadian) yields are falling behind economically and technologically equivalent agroecosystems matched for latitude, season and crop type; pesticide (both herbicide and insecticide) use is higher in the United States than in comparator W. European countries….”

A study by the University of Canterbury, in New Zealand, has revealed that the people of the United States and Canada could soon face starvation because of continued use of GMO (genetically modified organism) crops.

“The choice of GM-biotechnology packages in the US agroecosystem has been the stark contrast with W. European patterns of biotechnology use. Notwithstanding claims to the contrary…..there is no evidence that GM biotechnology is superior…..”

“Producing food is an essential activity, and the ability to produce food is a global strategic asset.”

“…..GM crops are not a solution, in part because they are controlled by strict IP instruments. Despite the claims that GM might be needed to feed the world, we found no yield benefit when the United States was compared to W. Europe……GM crops have maintained or increased US pesticide use relative to equally advanced competitors. The pattern and quantities unique to the use of GM-glyphosate-tolerant crops has been responsible for the selection of glyphosate-tolerant weeds, with estimates of resistant weeds on between 6 and 40 million hectares [14.8 million to 98.8 million acres] in the United States…….The use of Bt crops is associated with the emergence of Bt resistance and by novel mechanisms in insect pests“

“The diversity of the germplasm is not increasing under the commercial sector in the United States and under prevailing government innovation incentives…..This is linked to globally declining rates in yield growth.”

World War 3, Asian Front-Afghanistan: Afghan government officially says F-you to United States! U.S. stabs Afghan government in the back?

19 June 2013 (02:18 UTC-07 Tango)/10 Sha’ban 1434/29 Khordad 1391/12 Wu-Wu (5th month) 4711

“In view of the contradiction between acts and the statements made by the United States of America in regard to the Peace Process, the Afghan government suspended the negotiations, currently underway in Kabul between Afghan and U.S. delegations on the Bilateral Security Agreement.”-National Security Council Office of Afghanistan

Unnamed Afghan government officials say post 2014 security talks (aka Bilateral Security Agreement) with the United States have been halted by the Afghan government, after U.S. officials confirmed they were now in negotiations with Mujahideen/Taliban in Doha, Qatar.  Those U.S.-Mujahideen/Taliban negotiations do not include the Afghan government.

Afghan government officials question what good is the Bilateral Security Agreement, if the U.S. and Mujahideen/Taliban are going to make secret deals behind the back of the Afghan government?

In the past President Hamid Karzai repeatedly accused the U.S. of working with Mujahideen, only to have U.S. officials rebuke such accusations.

World War 3, Asia-Pacific Front: USMC admits Iraq, Afghanistan & War on Terror just preps for war with China!

18 June 2013 (16:31 UTC-07 Tango)/09 Sha’ban 1434/28 Khordad 1391/11 Wu-Wu (5th month) 4711

The U.S. Marine Corps has revealed a new COIN policy; kill the enemy, then kiss and make up afterwards: “Asking young Marines to kill at one time and not at the other, and being able to talk to someone immediately after coming out of a firefight…”-USMC Brigadier General Richard Simcock, Marine Corps Forces Pacific

According to several USMC sources the new policy, being run out of the Center for Advanced Operational Culture Learning in Quantico, Virginia, is a way of preparing Marines for future/expected military operations in the Asian-Pacific area (ie China).   The policy went into effect in October 2012.

Also, USMC non-coms will now have to ‘volunteer’ to become experts in the cultural values of certain regions of the Asia-Pacific, if they want to be considered for further promotions.

This seems to coincide with the island hopping exercises that have been taking place off the coast of California since 2010.  Those war games involve Japan, Australia, New Zealand, United States and even Canada.

I remember when soldiers and Marines considered being used as nation building Global cops abhorrent.  But in 2006, USA General David Patreaus and USMC General James Mattis revised U.S. COIN policy in FM 3-24 Counterinsurgency, saying “Soldiers and Marines are expected to be nation-builders….” 

Former U.S. Ambassador to Iraq, Ryan Crocker, says the future military adventures of the United States will require soldiers and Marines to double as diplomats.  (as a former warrior with California & Idaho Army National Guards, during the Cold War and post Cold War, I say bullshit on that!)

USMC officials have admitted that they have been given orders from the Commander in Chief, Barack Obama, to focus on the Asia-Pacific region.

USMC Major Thomas Ross stated that the experiences of Afghanistan and Iraq were instrumental in leading up to the current U.S. policy in the Asia-Pacific region.  This can only mean that the United States government is about to launch a war of control (in the name of fighting terrorism?) in that region.

World War 3, Asian Front-Afghanistan: Thousands of Mujahideen preparing for new offensives! U.S. cuts supplies for MASH units yet buys Russian ‘copters!

In Parwan Province, Bagram air base was hit by artillery attack (early reports said it was a rocket), four U.S. personnel killed, several wounded.  The attack was confirmed by U.S. Department of Defense.  U.S. forces conducted a search operation to find the source of the rocket attack.

In Kandahar Province, Maruf District, a U.S. drone (UAV) crashed.  Afghan and U.S. government officials blame it on “technical problems”, but Mujahideen say they shot it down.   Provincial government officials also say eight Mujahideen killed by NATO/ISAF forces.

In Kabul Province, Kabul city, a suicide bomber blew himself up near the Independent Human Rights Commission office, killing at least three people, and wounding four security guards and one girl.  Officials say the target was a politician, but he survived.

In Logar Province, locals report three teenagers killed by NATO/ISAF airstrike.

In Farah Province, Bala Buluk District, Mujahideen claim they’ve shot down yet another U.S. helicopter in that district.  Mujahideen say U.S. attack helicopters were responding to their attack on U.S. armored vehicles.

Senior Obama administration officials said the U.S. will meet with Mujahideen in Doha, capital of Qatar, in the near future.  It’s been revealed by Norwegian government officials that Norway has been hosting secret talks between U.S. and Afghan government officials and Mujahideen, something U.S. officials have always denied.

The Afghan puppet government is now officially in charge of all occupation military operations.  NATO Secretary General, Anders Fogh Rasmussen, said NATO will no longer plan, execute or lead combat operations in Afghanistan.

The U.S. state of New Hampshire revealed that 43 members of their state militia Army National Guard C Company, 3rd Battalion 238th Aviation Regiment, is undergoing training for deployment to Afghanistan.

United Kingdom Ministry of Defence officials say that after the end of 2013 their Red Coat troops will no longer take part in combat operations, they will focus on training Afghan personnel only.

U.S. ambassador to Canada, David Jacobson, admitted it was he who convinced Canadian officials to keep their Canuck troops in Afghanistan for as long as they have.  The admission comes as Canada sends their final troop deployment to Afghanistan.  At least 900 Canucks deployed for Operation Attention.

In Jowzjan Province, war criminal and U.S. puppet ally, Abdul Rashid Dostum, ordered his minions to attack the provincial governor.  Dostum’s minions also attacked the Afghan government’s National Directorate of Security (NDS) compound.  Provincial officials say they do not know why such an ‘insider’ attack was ordered.

In Nuristan Province,  Mujahideen announced that they’ve assembled thousands of troops to launch a major offensive in that province.  Provincial officials confirmed that thousands of Mujahideen have gathered in Kamdish and Bar-g-Matal districts.  Government officials say Pakistan is supporting the Mujahideen offensive.

In Laghman Province, Mujahideen attacked a supply convoy with RPGs and machine guns.  Two trucks destroyed, three drivers killed, several people wounded.

In Maidan Wardak Province, provincial government officials reporting hundreds of Mujahideen from Pakistan observed gathering for offensive against U.S./Afghan government forces.

In Helmand Province, Lashkargah city, a suicide bomber tried to assassinate the local police chief.  Apparently only the bomber was killed, one cop wounded.

In the U.S. state of Virginia, a drive is on for volunteered supplies for U.S. MASH units: “Afghanistan MASH units are in GREAT NEED of sheets! These units treat and house our military service men and women who are wounded in battle and their linens are all but gone! They are using torn, worn and blood and other bodily fluid stained sheets over and over again.”-RoxAnne Christley’s Operation Bedsheet

In the U.S. state of Iowa, about 50 members of the state militia Army National Guard 211th Air Ambulance unit returned home from Afghanistan.

In the U.S. state of Minnesota, more than 100 members of the federal U.S. Army Reserve 203rd Transportation Company deployed to Afghanistan.

In the U.S. state of California, a Canadian private security contractor is being sued for the wrongful death of at least one U.S. citizen in Afghanistan.  Tundra Security is being accused of failing to following their own company policies when they re-hired an Afghan who was fired for making threats against U.S. co-workers.  That Afghan then killed or wounded several U.S. co-workers on Forward Operating Base Frontenac.

Russian news media reveals that U.S. taxpayers have paid for 30 Russian made Mil Mi-17 type helicopters.   The U.S. Department of Defense bought the helicopters for the Afghan government, at a cost to U.S. taxpayers of $500 million USD!

Medical Martial Law: Medical detention enforced in South Carolina TB outbreak!

“We need to be more educated because we’ve had contact with him. Does it affect us? Do we need to do any testing?”-neighbor of man detained

Government officials in the U.S. state of South Carolina are implementing Title 44-Health, Chapter 31, Article 2 THE EMERGENCY DETENTION AND COMMITMENT OF TUBERCULOSIS PATIENTS law.

One man has already been detained under the law.  Nearly 100 people have been infected with TB, considered the worst TB outbreak in South Carolina since 2003.  However, only the one man has been detained, and reports say he could be in medical detention for months.

He’s being called “Patient A” by health officials, and they say he was detained for refusing to co-operate with medical personnel.  A neighbor of the detained man questions his detention, saying he seemed healthy before he was detained by authorities.  She also said the Department of Health and Environmental Control are not providing any details about the TB outbreak, causing a lot of people to wonder.

State officials defend themselves saying they’re looking for someone who can represent the detained man, before they’ll give out any info.

Local news reports say the man is a janitor at a school where the TB outbreak began.   Many parents are upset with Department of Health and Environmental Control, because the DHEC is not giving out info concerning the TB outbreak at the school.  The outbreak at the school apparently began in March, and has since spread.

Local news reports also say neighbors of the detained man have seen many people going in and out of the man’s house.  A local reporter tried to question one of those people, but was rebuffed.

DHEC officials said the detained man could challenge his detention in court, but hellooo, how can the man get a lawyer when he’s already in medical detention?  Sounds like Medical Martial Law to me.
