World Health Organisation Reverses Course, Declares Outbreak Of Coronavirus A Global Health Emergency

The World Health Organization on Thursday reversed itself and declared the spread of the Wuhan coronavirus a global public health emergency , citing the potential of the virus to spread globally .
WHO officially declared the coronavirus , which already killed 171 in China , a “ public health emergency of international concern ” ( PHEIC ) .
The announcement came after criticism of the United Nations health agency ’ s decision last week not to declare the outbreak a PHEIC , even though the virus was spreading rapidly .
“ Our greatest concern is the potential for the virus @ @ @ @ @ @ @ systems and which are ill prepared to deal with it , ” WHO director general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said .
“ The vast majority of cases outside of China have a travel history to Wuhan or contact with someone with a travel history to Wuhan .
We don ’ t know what sort of damage this virus could do if it were to spread to a country with a weaker health system.
” The virus has already spread to more than a dozen countries and the number of cases has risen more than @ @ @ @ @ @ @ more 8,000 cases in China now , and the virus has spread to 18 other countries .
In the United States , doctors said Thursday that the first human-to-human transmission of the virus had occurred .
Said Tedros : “ This declaration is not a vote of non-confidence in China .
On the contrary , WHO continues to have the confidence in China ’ s capacity to control the outbreak , ” the Associated Press reported .
A declaration of a global emergency typically brings greater money and resources , but may also @ @ @ @ @ @ @ trade to affected countries .
The announcement also imposes more disease reporting requirements on countries .
In the wake of numerous airlines cancelling flights to China and businesses including Starbucks and McDonald ’ s temporarily closing hundreds of shops , Tedros said WHO was not recommending limiting travel or trade to China .
“ There is no reason for measures that unnecessarily interfere with international travel and trade , ” he said .
Still , Russia announced it was closing its 2,600-mile border with China , joining Mongolia and North Korea in barring @ @ @ @ @ @ @ But WHO officials warned that drastic restrictions in travel and trade aren ’ t necessary .
“ Some countries have taken questionable measures concerning travellers , ” said Didier Houssin , chairman of the WHO ’ s emergency committee .
Those measures , he said , “ should not constitute an example to follow.
” “ This virus has spread at unprecedented scale and speed , with cases passing between people in multiple countries across the world , ” he said in a statement .
“ It is also a stark reminder of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ infectious diseases known and unknown .

The announcement also imposes more disease reporting requirements on countries.

” ” Solomon wrote .
“ Shokin holds documents proving money laundering by Burisma & Biden ’ s , ” Giuliani said last month .

thegatewaypundit--2020-01-30--Queen, Prince Charles Hold Emergency Meeting Over Scandal-Plagued Prince Andrew

The Queen is still fuming .
Queen Elizabeth II reportedly held an emergency meeting with Prince Charles to discuss Prince Andrew , who has been heavily caught up in a scandal over his longtime friendship with convicted pedophile and child trafficker Jeffrey Epstein .
The two gathered at Sandringham to chat about “ family matters , ” The Sun reported .
A royal source said : “ Both had hoped the Duke of York could perhaps be rehabilitated back into public life in time but that is now looking increasingly unlikely.
” The Sun revealed that a UK police probe @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Jeffrey Epstein could be reopened after it was dropped in 2016 .
The news came 24 hours after a US law chief shamed the Duke by revealing the FBI tried to quiz him over Epstein but got “ zero co-operation ” .
The FBI has a witness who says she saw Andrew dancing with “ sex slave ” Virginia Roberts Giuffre at London ’ s Tramp nightclub in 2001 .
A source reportedly close to the Duke told The Sun : “ The Duke is more than happy to talk to the FBI @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by them yet .
He is angry about the way this is being portrayed.
” But The Daily Mail , another British paper , said that ’ s not the case .
“ Prince Andrew ignored a letter sent to his home from one of Jeffrey Epstein ’ s victims who begged him to speak to the FBI ‘ in the interests of justice ’ , according to a lawyer for one of the victims , ” the Mail reported .
Gloria Allred represents Jane Doe 15 , who claims she was abused @ @ @ @ @ @ @ old , and sent the letter on her behalf to the Duke of York saying his testimony could help her find ‘ peace ’ .
Allred said that at first , she sent it to Andrew ’ s lawyers in the UK back in December .
But when his lawyers told her to send it directly to Prince Andrew , she never got a response – despite a FedEx delivery receipt confirming the royal had received it .
Prince Andrew in November sat down for an interview with the BCC about his friendship @ @ @ @ @ @ @ death in prison in August was ruled a suicide .
It did not go well .
After the disastrous interview , Prince Andrew announced that he was stepping back from his official duties .
Now , he ’ s been kicked out of his offices at Buckingham Palace .

“ It has become @ @ @ @ @ @ @ days that the circumstances relating to my former association with Jeffrey Epstein has become a major disruption to my family ’ s work and the valuable work going on in the many organisations and charities that I am proud to support , ” Andrew said in a statement .
Prince Andrew palled around with Epstein for years , visiting his Manhattan penthouse , his Florida mansion , and his private island in the Caribbean .
At one point , when the two were together in London , the prince was pictured with Guiffre @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with her when she was just 17 years old .
Andrew has vehemently denied the pair ever had sex , but Guiffre has detailed the evening several times , including once in a lawsuit against Epstein .

“So, when I’m president, she’ll be gone,” Warren continued. “And here’s my plan, Jacob: I’m gonna find just the right Secretary of Education, but here’s what I plan to do. I want to make sure that the person that I think is the right Secretary of Education meets you and hears your story and then I want you to tell me if you think that’s the right person and then we’ll make the deal.”

‘Was He Involved in Burisma?’ Trump Attorney Patrick Philbin Suggests Whistleblower Had PERSONAL Conflict of Interest Filing Complaint (VIDEO)

‘ Was He Involved in Burisma ?
’ Trump Attorney Patrick Philbin Suggests Whistleblower Had PERSONAL Conflict of Interest Filing Complaint ( VIDEO ) President Trump ’ s deputy counsel Patrick Philbin suggested Wednesday night the whistleblower , Eric Ciaramella , may have a PERSONAL conflict of interest in filing a complaint against President Trump .
“ If the whistleblower , as is alleged in some public reports , actually did work for then-Vice President Biden on Ukraine issues , exactly what was his role ?
What was his involvement ?
Philbin said .
Philbin asked if the whistleblower was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Biden ’ s dealings with Burisma Holdings .
This is huge , because if Ciaramella did work with Biden on anything related to Burisma and the firing of Viktor Shokin , the Ukrainian prosecutor general investigating Burisma , then it would be a personal conflict of interest for him to stop the President from investigating Ukraine corruption related to Burisma .
“ Did [ the whistleblower ] have any reason to want to put the deep six on any questions raising any issue of about what went on with the Bidens and Burisma @ @ @ @ @ @ @ dollars in loan guarantees and enforcing a very explicit quid pro quo , ” he said .
A 2015 photo of whistleblower Eric Ciaramella taking notes in a meeting with a Biden advisor and Ukrainian officials emerged Wednesday .

Michael Carpenter , Biden ’ s advisor , is seen sitting next to Joe Biden in 2018 when the former VP bragged about shaking down the Ukrainian government .
Biden bragged in a 2018 speech to the Council on Foreign Relations that he threatened to withhold a billion in aid to Ukraine unless they fired Viktor Shokin , the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Ciaramella was photographed sitting next to Biden ’ s advisor Michael Carpenter so what was Ciaramella ’ s involvement in Burisma and making sure all investigations into the corrupt Ukrainian natural gas company were thwarted ?
This must be investigated because if Ciaramella was personally involved in Burisma , then he would want to stop Trump ’ s investigation into the gas company to save himself from potential prosecution , thus having a personal conflict of interest in filing a whistleblower complaint .

Therefore, they wanted to use the Senate to go fishing for more evidence by calling more witnesses. They have admitted to the jury that their case is lame.
My message to the Democrats is simple. I’ve listened to your case and listened and listened. It’s absurd, good-bye, go home!


thegatewaypundit--2020-01-30--ABC Suspends Correspondent Over Major Mistake In Kobe Bryant Crash Report

In the minutes and hours just after the helicopter crash that killed NBA superstar Kobe Bryant , numerous erroneous reports emerged .
Some said four people had perished ; in fact , nine people , including the pilot , died .
Other reports said former Bryant teammate Rick Fox was killed in the crash .
He wasn ’ t .
Still others said the chopper had caught fire .
It did , but only after it crashed .
But nobody got it as wrong as Matt Gutman , the chief national correspondent for ABC News .
He reported that all @ @ @ @ @ @ @ involved in the fatal crash .
In fact , only one of the Bryants ’ four children , 13-year-old daughter Gianna , died .
“ Before Gianna ’ s death was confirmed , Gutman said during a live report that Bryant ’ s other daughters — Natalia , 17 ; Bianka , 3 and Capri , 7 months — were on the helicopter as well , ” the New York Post wrote .
“ He later corrected the error and apologized , writing on Twitter , ‘ Today I inaccurately reported it was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s children were on board that flight .
That is incorrect .
I apologize to Kobe ’ s family , friends and our viewers . '
” ABC News has now suspended Gutman .
“ Reporting the facts accurately is the cornerstone of our journalism , ” an ABC News representative said in a statement to The Los Angeles Times .
“ As he acknowledged on Sunday , Matt Gutman ’ s initial reporting was not accurate and failed to meet our editorial standards.
” In a statement to The Times , Gutman @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the business of holding people accountable , ” Gutman said .
“ And I hold myself accountable for a terrible mistake , which I deeply regret .
I want to personally apologize to the Bryant family for this wrenching loss and any additional anguish my report caused.
” Rick Fox also blasted the media for mistakenly reporting that he was killed in the crash .
“ My family went through in the midst of all this something I couldn ’ t have imagined them experiencing , ” he said Tuesday night on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Los Angeles Lakers star .
“ One of my daughter ’ s greatest fears is finding out that a parent or one of her parents would be lost through social media instead of from a loved one or a family member and she fortunately called me .
We were just talking and crying about the news of Kobe , ” said Fox , 50 .

GOOD NEWS! Trump’s Drug Policies Have Resulted in US Life Expectancy Increasing for FIRST TIME Since 2014

GOOD NEWS !
Trump ’ s Drug Policies Have Resulted in US Life Expectancy Increasing for FIRST TIME Since 2014 Thanks to President Trump ’ s policies the life expectancy in the United States increased for the first time since 2014 .
Senior Counselor Kellyanne Conway , ONDCP Director Jim Carroll , and Assistant Secretary of Public Health ADM Brett Giroir announced this wonderful news on Thursday .
Opioid deaths were down 13 % in 2018 and that contributed to the overall national life expectancy .
The latest calculation is for 2018 and factors in current death trends and other @ @ @ @ @ @ @ born that year is expected to live about 78 years and 8 months , the CDC said .
For males , it ’ s about 76 years and 2 months ; for females 81 years and 1 month .
For decades , U.S. life expectancy was on the upswing , rising a few months nearly every year .
But from 2014 to 2017 , it fell slightly or held steady .
That was blamed largely on surges in overdose deaths and suicides .
Suicides continued to increase in 2018 , as did deaths @ @ @ @ @ @ @ turned out to be an unusually bad flu year .
But declines in some other causes of death – most notably cancer and drug overdoses – were enough to overcome all that , according to the report .

thegatewaypundit--2020-01-30--Carter Page Sues DNC, Fusion-Linked Law Firm Over Bogus Steele Dossier

Former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page on Thursday filed a lawsuit in federal court against the Democratic National Committee , the law firm Perkins Coie , declaring “ This is only the first salvo.
” Lawyers for Page filed the suit in U.S. District Court in the Northern District of Illinois ’ Eastern Division , saying it is the “ first of multiple actions in the wake of historic ” Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act ( FISA ) abuse .
The suit involves funding of bogus Steele dossier , which Obama administration officials and the FBI used in order to secure @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ This is a first step to ensure that the full extent of the FISA abuse that has occurred during the last few years is exposed and remedied , ” attorney John Pierce said Thursday , Fox News reported .
“ Defendants and those they worked with inside the federal government did not and will not succeed in making America a surveillance state.
” He added : “ This is only the first salvo .
We will follow the evidence wherever it leads , no matter how high .
… The rule of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a defamation suit on his own against the parties in October 2018 in federal court in Oklahoma , but that suit was dismissed in January 2019 after the judge ruled the court lacked jurisdiction over the case because neither Page nor the DNC had strong enough ties to the state .
Page is now represented by Pierce , the global managing partner of Pierce Bainbridge Beck Price & Hecht LLP .
They filed in Illinois because they allege the relationship with the firm behind the dossier , Fusion GPS , was “ orchestrated @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s Chicago office .
The suit also claims the DNC “ has a historical pattern ” of making Chicago its principal place of business .
… The suit alleges that the DNC , Perkins Coie and partners Marc Elias and Michael Sussman “ used false information , misrepresentations and other misconduct to direct the power of the international intelligence apparatus and the media industry against ” Page “ to further their political agenda.
” The dossier in question was filled with salacious claims about Trump and his associates and has been the subject @ @ @ @ @ @ @ emergence around the time of President Trump ’ s inauguration .
The document was authored by ex-British intelligence officer Christopher Steele , commissioned by opposition research firm Fusion GPS , and funded by the DNC and Hillary Clinton ’ s 2016 presidential campaign through law firm Perkins Coie .
That move followed fallout from December ’ s brutal inspector general report , which found the FBI at fault for a series of misstatements and omissions in FISA court applications to secure secret court warrants to eavesdrop on Page .
“ The Justice Department @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the department now believes , at a minimum , the surveillance of Page should have ended after the second warrant expired in early 2017 , ” CNN reported .

The Justice Department last week declared two of the four surveillance warrants against former Page invalid, the FISA court said.
That move followed fallout from December’s brutal inspector general report, which found the FBI at fault for a series of misstatements and omissions in FISA court applications to secure secret court warrants to eavesdrop on Page.
“The Justice Department’s concession to the court means the department now believes, at a minimum, the surveillance of Page should have ended after the second warrant expired in early 2017,” CNN reported.

What a clown show.
Nancy Pelosi tried to take credit for the historic Trump USMCA trade agreement during her Thursday press conference.
Speaker Pelosi sat on the deal for 14 months and only allowed a vote on it after Democrats impeached Trump on a straight party-line vote.
Yesterday, President Trump did not invite the corrupt Democrat leader to attend the USMCA signing ceremony.
Trump invited Minnesota pig farmers instead.
They were more appreciative.

thegatewaypundit--2020-01-30--HEY SENATORS: Will Someone Ask the Crowdstrike Question at the Impeachment Hearing, Please!

HEY SENATORS : Will Someone Ask the Crowdstrike Question at the Impeachment Hearing , Please !
In the final day of questioning in the US Senate impeachment hearings , there is one subject that is overlooked – Crowdstrike .
This firm supposedly confirmed in June 2016 that the DNC ’ s emails were hacked , and they were hacked by Russia .
President Trump thought it warranted mention in his conversation with the newly elected Ukrainian President .
This is the favor he asked .
The request that President Trump made on his call to President Zelinsky in the Ukraine @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is touching this matter in the Senate Hearings .
The President said : Why is everyone ignoring this damning piece of information ?
The corrupt FBI and Mueller team claimed that DNC emails released by WikiLeaks before the 2016 election were hacked by Russia , but neither entity inspected the DNC server which was supposedly hacked .
They provided no proof of this .
The DNC instead hired a firm Crowdstrike , with connections to Mueller and former Obama Director of National Intelligence James Clapper , who provided a redacted report to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hacked by Russia .
Former NSA whistleblower Bill Binney claims he has evidence the DNC emails were not hacked but copied most likely on to a flashdrive or something similar .
The DNC didn ’ t report that its emails had been hacked by Russia until mid-June 2016 .
This was reported by the Washington Post so its credibility is questionable .
The DNC claimed that a firm by the name of Crowdstrike reportedly determined that ‘ Russia ’ hacked Hillary ’ s emails .
The report said Crowdstrike made this confirmatino in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The dates just don ’ t add up .
In April 2016 George Papadopoulos was told by the infamous Maltese professor Joseph Mifsud that Russia had Hillary ’ s emails .
But Crowdstrike didn ’ t investigate Hillary ’ s emails until May 2016 when they somehow claimed that the Russians had hacked into the DNC .
The timing doesn ’ t add up .
WikiLeaks claims to this day that they did not receive Hillary ’ s emails through a state actor .
The fact that President Trump was asking about Crowdstrike @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , which apparently has the DNC server inspected before the 2016 election is telling .
Maybe the Senate should ask : How could the the FBI and Mueller gang confirm that Russia hacked the DNC ’ s emails , when they never obtained or investigated the related server and why would they rely on a firm ( Crowdstrike ) and not confirm this themselves , and doesn ’ t this make the President ’ s request to the Ukrainian President about Crowdstrike reasonable ?
