## Resource

Conflict reporter/writer/cartoonist Ted Rall and political analyst Jamarl Thomas deprogram you from mainstream media every weekday at 9 AM EST. Today we discuss: • Trump officials have pressed the office responsible for printing the nation’s money to design a $250 bill featuring Trump’s portrait , in what would be the first appearance of a living person on U.S. currency in more than 150 years. • A former senior CIA official is accused of stealing hundreds of gold bars worth more than $40 million and stashing them in his home. From November to March, David Rush requested and received a "significant quantity of foreign currency and tens of millions of dollars in gold bars for work-related expenses," according to the FBI. • A Kenyan court has suspended US plans to open an Ebola quarantine facility for American citizens . The 50-bed isolation centre is to be staffed by US medics and was due to begin operations today. In its court petition, rights group the Katiba Institute warned that the arrangement posed "grave and imminent risks" to public health. Now Trump wants to send Ebola patients to Europe . • Under the US-brokered ceasefire in October, the Israeli army withdrew to a demarcation line which gave Israel direct control of 53% of Gaza. Benjamin Netanyahu says he has given orders to the IDF to seize control of 70% , imperiling the deal.
