Nurse Who Treated Dallas Ebola Patient Tests Positive for Ebola


Ebola Patient

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta has come under scrutiny for pointing the finger of blame at a nurse who contracted the deadly Ebola virus while caring for an Ebola patent in Dallas.

The nurse, who treated Thomas Eric Duncan in the isolation unit at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital, is the 2nd person to be diagnosed with Ebola on U.S. soil. Duncan, who was the first person diagnosed in the U.S., died on Oct. 8.

“Unfortunately it is possible in the coming days that we will see additional cases of Ebola,” Frieden said during a press conference. “Because the health care workers who cared for [Duncan] may have had a breach of the same nature of the [nurse] who appears now to have a preliminary positive test.”

The CDC’s preemptive finger pointing at the health care worker is raising concern among doctors and nurses, who say health care workers are not properly trained to treat patients with Ebola.

Only 4 hospitals in the country have isolation units that specialize in treating and containing infectious diseases like Ebola and Marburg. Still, the White House refuses to order the mandatory transfer of Ebola patients to one of those 4 hospitals for treatment.

Al Sharpton, Rape, Sandy Rubenstein

Alleged Rape victim revealed, her name is Iasha Rivers


Rubenstein_Accuser

The woman behind the rape allegations against Sandy Rubenstein is Iasha Rivers (pictured left) and she is NOT a top aide in the Sharpton administration as being reported in the media however, the woman does and/or DID have ties to the Rev. Al Sharpton.

Sources close to the CEO Blog with former ties to the Sharpton administration confirmed that, Sharpton was not only romantically tied at one point to Rivers in the past but he also secured her current position with Macys as their Director of External Affairs and Corporate Communications.

Rivers is also named on the Board of Directors at the National Action Network.

Seems as though the good, right Rev. Al Sharpton looked out for all the woman he’s had ties too at some point romantically, making sure he secured their permanent positions as trade-offs through his corporate rivals. 

Since the rape allegations has surfaced from a former lover against his pal Rubenstein, Sharpton is doing all he can to distance himself from the scandal by supposedly cutting ties with the swanky attorney. All apart of his efforts to distance himself from this public played drama. He’s making sure that as the shit starts to sling, none gets flung on him.

After all, Al Sharpton has assisted Rubenstein by making sure he secured every civil rights case against the city of New York, so we can only imagine how their secrets must run deep. Especially since Rubenstein was initially just “a work injury lawyer”.  

Stay tuned as this very public drama play out before our eyes.

I chose to air the name and face of the alleged rape victim in this case because my blog is in the business of disseminating news, not suppressing it. Names and facts are news. They add credibility to stories and give viewers and/or readers information.

Ebola Virus…Panic or pandemonium?? Tonight on “Conversations Of A Sistah”


Ebola

Talks and reports of this Ebola epidemic is on every newspaper, internet and media outlet throughout the country. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta (CDC) reports that doctors and nurses are fleeing the Ebola hot zones in Liberia amid fears that the virus is more easily transmitted than first assumed.

A report conducted by doctors at the CDC noted: “Before the epidemic, six physicians served all four counties. At the time of the evaluation, only three physicians remained; the others had left Liberia because of the epidemic.”

This report comes amid news that a Spanish nurse is the first to be diagnosed with Ebola outside of West Africa.

The CDC has assured the public that the risk of catching Ebola is small if the patient is not exhibiting symptoms. But that doesn’t explain how trained doctors and nurses who are dressed from head to toe in protective suits are contracting Ebola so easily.

Is it true that this deadly disease was manufactured to kill Africans and just wipe out the majority of the black race?

Al Sharpton, Rape

Sharpton aide cries rape!

Sanford Rubenstein (pictured right and inset) is a prominent New York attorney and he’s being accused of allegedly raping a 42-year-old official of the National Action Network after the victim (pictured left with her face covered) accompanied the lawyer to his apartment after Rev. Al Sharpton’s birthday celebration at the Four Season’s Restaurant last Thursday.

Rubenstein who is not only a member of Sharpton’s National Action Network but a prominent lawyer and good friend who’s joined at the hip with the civil rights activist, winning racially fueled cases in the sum of millions against the city once their cases settle. Rubenstein has the reputation of being a “pit-bull” in the court room.

Sharpton_Rubenstein

The victim, a 42 year old mother and top aide in Sharpton’s administration escorted the prominent lawyer back to his apartment along with her girlfriend. In her inebriated state, she allegedly asked her girlfriend to leave the apartment as she stayed behind. The next morning after having had sex with Rubenstein a second time, the victim left his upscale penthouse and went straight to police.

In the meantime, Rubenstein vehemently denies the allegations and concedes that the sex between the two was consensual. Of course it was consensual, what woman escorts a man up to his penthouse in the wee hours of the morning for a coffee clutch she and a girlfriend? The victim apparently felt comfortable enough to go this far. And being Sharpton’s aide I’m sure this was not the first time the victim has come in contact with the prominent attorney.

I not only smell a rat but I think this is a setup. Time will tell.

Attorney General, Controversy

Eric Holder’s Resignation questionable?


Eric Holder

Why would the Nation’s first black attorney general resign at the height of so many racially motivated killings being investigated in so many states? Why was Holder successful at resending excessive sentencing for blacks that were unjust in some states yet unsuccessful at thoroughly investigating the unjust laws in the Trayvon Martin case?

On September 25, 2014, Holder announced his resignation after a tumultuous tenure marked by civil rights advances, national security threats, reforms to the criminal justice system and 5 1/2 years of fights with Republicans in Congress.

Two sources familiar with the decision tell NPR that Holder, 63, intends to leave the Justice Department as soon as his successor is confirmed, a process that could run through 2014 and even into next year. A former U.S. government official says Holder has been increasingly “adamant” about his desire to leave soon for fear that he otherwise could be locked in to stay for much of the rest of President Obama’s second term.

I find it odd that Holder would resign now, fresh off the heels from his visit to Ferguson, Missouri, where eighteen year old unarmed black teenager Mike Brown was gunned down by a white police officer.

With this country at the height of racial injustices throughout the land, I find it hard to believe that Holder would resign with still so much left to be done.
