UK Health Security Data Shows that Triple Injected People Accounted for the Majority of COVID hospitalizations between 12/21 and 1/16, with the double vaccinated population not far behind

From [HERE] The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) publish a weekly Covid-19 Vaccine Surveillance Reportcontaining data on Covid-19 cases, hospitalisations, and deaths by vaccination status, and the most recent report which was published Thursday 20th January, was the first time UKHSA has included data on the triple vaccinated population without mixing them in with the double vaccinated.

Page 35 of the report contains the statistics on Covid-19 hospitalisations between week 51 of 2021 and week 2 of 2022, and they confirm that the NHS has very much been overwhelmed by the vaccinated population.

According to table 10, between 20th Dec 21 and 16th Jan 22, there were a total of 14,776 people admitted to hospital with Covid-19, and 10,051 of them had received at least one dose of a Covid-19 vaccine.

However, when we remove under 18’s from the equation, who as we know are mainly admitted to hospital for other causes and subsequently just test positive for Covid-19 due to mandatory testing, the pressure on the NHS caused by the vaccinated population this winter looks even worse.

There were 13,343 people over the age of 18 hospitalised with Covid-19 between 20th Dec 21 and 16th Jan 22, and the vaccinated population accounted for 9,925 of those hospitalisations. 

Overall the not-vaccinated population accounted for 32% of all Covid-19 hospitalisations between week 51 and week 2 2022, whilst the vaccinated population accounted for 68%. But when removing under 18’s from the equation we find that the unvaccinated population accounted for 26% of all hospitalisations, and the vaccinated accounted for a worrying 74%. [MORE]

Deadly Gene Based COVID Injections are the Biggest Medical Experiment on Humans in History

From [HERE] “This is the largest experiment performed on human beings in the history of the world.” Amid pushback against widespread COVID vaccine mandates, this statement could be easily dismissed as knee-jerk hyperbole, except that the speaker is Robert Malone, M.D., a virologist and immunologist who, in 1988 at the Salk Institute, developed the mRNA vaccine platform technology now used in many COVID-19 vaccines. He made the comment during a recent interview with Veronika Kyrylenko of The New American in reference to the accelerated push to vaccinate the world against SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.

His assertion echoed what another highly qualified expert had already said: “Humans are now part of the largest experiment performed in the history of mankind.” This was from German microbiologist Sucharit Bhakdi, emeritus head of the Institute of Medical Microbiology and Hygiene at the University of Mainz and former editor-in-chief of Medical Microbiology and Immunology. He warned The New American’s Alex Newman that COVID shots would prove lethal, and that boosters could “decimate world population.”

Other specialists agree. Emergency physician and attorney Simone Gold, who has worked in Washington, D.C., for both the surgeon general and the Labor & Human Resources Committee, calls the experimental vaccine push a “crime against humanity.” She explained to listeners of Church & State Radio that in the initial rollout, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) to COVID-19 vaccines, a designation that allows unapproved medical products to be used in a crisis. Used, but not mandated — an important distinction because, according to Gold, mandates of experimental drugs violate the Nuremberg Code, ethical research principles intended to protect people from forced medical experimentation.

Have things changed now that the FDA has fully licensed the Pfizer vaccine? Not according to America’s Frontline Doctors(AFLD), the group Gold says she founded in response to political interference in the practice of medicine. AFLD’s White Paper on Experimental Vaccines for COVID-19 explains the dangerously unprecedented timetable of FDA drug testing, a process that normally takes years. COVID vaccines had EUA a mere 12 months after health officials detected the supposedly novel virus, and only nine months after the World Health Organization (WHO) declared a pandemic, leaving no time to monitor long-term effects in clinical trials. AFLD described it as “the shortest time scientists have ever been able to develop a new vaccination for a major disease,” recalling the 40-year record of failed attempts on the part of Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, to create an HIV vaccine.

Nevertheless, pundits claim the novel coronavirus justifies vaccine mandates. As of mid-December, WHO tallied more than 270 million confirmed cases and more than five million deaths worldwide. “SARS-CoV-2 vaccines are urgently needed to mitigate the consequences of the pandemic and protect from future outbreaks,” proclaimed the New England Journal of Medicine, claiming benefits outweigh risks in “a world that lacks a reliable treatment for COVID-19.”

This assertion flies in the face of successful treatments such as that developed by Dr. Peter McCullough, a Dallas internist and cardiologist and former medical professor at Texas A&M University School of Medicine. He testified before the Texas Senate Health and Human Services Committee in March that two independent studies confirmed the outpatient protocol he and several colleagues developed early in the pandemic could have drastically reduced hospitalizations and deaths. “We have over 500,000 deaths in the United States,” he noted. “The preventable fraction could have been as high as 85 percent,” or 425,000, had people realized that reliable treatments exist.

Other researchers find inflated numbers in official data, which belie the supposed need for draconian quarantines and mandates. Stanford University’s expert in disease prevention, John Ioannidis, M.D., incurred establishment wrath in 2020 when he tested COVID-diagnosed patients for antibodies to the virus. At a time when governments were using COVID hysteria to justify life-altering lockdowns and unhealthy mask mandates, Ioannidis’ results, published in the European Journal of Clinical Investigation, found that SARS-CoV-2 “has lower average IFR [infection fatality rate] than originally feared,” around 0.15 percent. This was markedly lower than the one-percent IFR that Fauci reported in congressional testimony and the three percent asserted by WHO, according to National Review. Ioannidis published further research this past July in the European Journal of Epidemiology noting the continued prevalence of misdiagnoses, overcounted deaths, and erroneous death certificates, and pointing out that most “deaths occur in people with several underlying diseases” instead of the population at large.

Regardless, WHO insists on reporting its inflated COVID death numbers. The emergence of the Omicron variant has given the agency’s director-general, Tedros Adhanom, occasion to declare at a December press conference in Geneva, “Surely, we have learned by now that we underestimate the virus at our peril.” He urged vaccination as the solution.

What’s in a Name?

Are COVID vaccines the answer? According to Bhakdi, the differences between these and traditional vaccines are significant and dangerous. He and his biologist/biochemist wife, Karina Reiss, explain why in their books Corona False Alarm? and Corona Unmasked

Prior to 2020, all vaccines contained weakened or inactivated viruses that stimulate the body’s immune system to produce defense mechanisms called “antibodies.” If the active virus infects you after vaccination, your antibodies recognize the intruder and stop it before it can do any damage.

COVID vaccines are different because they are gene-based. Instead of weakened or inactivated viruses, they contain a genetic recipe that tells your cells how to make viral spike proteins, with the hope that your immune system will react the same way that it does to traditional vaccines. Bhakdi and Reiss describe the shots as billions of “gene packages” that enter your bloodstream, where they are absorbed by endothelial cells that line your body’s blood vessels. Your cells start producing spike proteins, according to “package” instructions. Howver, the spike proteins damage your vascular lining, which stimulates platelets to form blood clots inside the vessels. Additionally, your immune system’s defense cells attack your endothelial cells because the latter have become viral factories. More vascular damage and clotting ensue.

This technology is new in the vaccine world. However, manufacturers get away with labeling their novel drugs as vaccines because since 2015 the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), an agency heavily involved in their creation, has twice conveniently morphed the definition into an umbrella term that includes the new drugs. U.S. Representative Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) tweeted this evolution of meaning and quipped, “They’ve been busy at the Ministry of Truth.”

Merriam-Webster took the cue from CDC in 2020, updating its dictionary just in time for public consumption. The advantages are obvious: the word “vaccine” has a familiar, innocuous connotation. Moreover, unlike other drugs, vaccines enjoy certain liability protection and can in some cases be legally mandated. In the pharmaceutical world, this redefinition is a gold mine.

As Big Pharma reaps benefits, the vascular damage that Bhakdi and Reiss described is wreaking havoc among the jabbed: strokes, heart attacks, heart inflammation, blood disorders, miscarriages, and many other post-COVID jab ailments reported in profusion to the federal government’s Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS). Bhakdi and Reiss predicted these effects would be particularly pronounced in younger people due to their more robust immune systems. Unfortunately, their forecasts are playing out. A notable example is the growing number of post-jab injuries among young athletes worldwide. The Real Science blog maintains a documented list of the most serious cases, which as of mid-December totaled 337 cardiac incidents and 192 deaths since January 2021.

Japan, where the government mandates post-vax adverse event reporting, has similar results. Rates of death due to cardiovascular issues and stroke are “disproportionately high” in vaccinated individuals, according to the medical magazine Med Check, which published Japan’s data in September. Researchers estimate the “mortality risk of vaccination is 7 times higher than that of COVID-19” among people in their 20s and warn that, based on clinical trials, it is “ridiculous to consider vaccination for school children.”

The Emperor’s New Vaccine

You won’t hear those stories on the nightly news. “This is a pandemic of the unvaccinated,” declared President Biden in September. Major media dutifully blame the spread of SARS-CoV-2 on those who refuse to get the jab. “Germany and Austria seeing COVID cases rise among unvaccinated population,” laments a November ABC Newsheadline. “Unvaccinated Texans 40 times as likely to die of covid,” bemoans the Washington Post. And MSN.comreports, “Doctors see serious COVID-19 complications in unvaccinated pregnant women and their babies.”

It is Trump’s fault, of course. A National Public Radioanalysis contends, “People living in counties that voted heavily for Donald Trump … have been nearly three times as likely to die from COVID-19” as their Biden-supporting counterparts. NPRoffers a two-fold reason: Unvaccinated people tend to be Republicans, and “exposure to misinformation” runs “high among Republicans.”

News that doesn’t make the Google algorithm cut paints a different picture. The NBCaffiliate in Burlington, Vermont, reported a single-day record of new COVID-19 cases and one death in early December. The report notably failed to mention whether the deceased had been jabbed, but the state’s health department did not expect “a decrease in new infections during the next month.” How could this happen in blue-state Vermont, where the CDC brags more than 85 percent of residents have had at least one shot, and 73 percent are considered fully vaccinated?

California tells a similar story. In a flagrant blue-state display of yellow journalism, the San Diego Fox Newsaffiliate reported in December, “As vaccination rates lagged over the summer, COVID-19 cases surged,” leading readers to blame the unvaxxed. But California is another CDC darling, with nearly 75 percent of residents having received at least one jab by the end of June 2021. 

This blue-state phenomenon is confirmed worldwide. Case numbers have spiked in Iceland, reports the Health Ministry, despite the fact that more than 85 percent of adults are double-dosed. “Chile leads the Western Hemisphere in vaccinations,” announced the Washington Post, but “coronavirus is still surging.” Israel boasts one of the world’s highest vaccination rates, but official data published in the journal Science reveal that a majority of Israelis hospitalized with COVID are fully vaccinated. And health officials in what pundits call “the most vaccinated place on earth,” the tiny British territory of Gibraltar, cancelled Christmas events due to a recent dramatic rise in COVID cases, though every adult there is twice-jabbed.

Fact checkers brush aside damning evidence and blame variants, faulty math, waning immunity, or increasing tests translating into increasing numbers of cases (though they lambasted Trump in 2020 for pointing out the same phenomenon). Most objections are downright Orwellian. Here’s an example from BBCabout COVID-19 in Wales: “Although 80% of [COVID-hospitalized] patients have been double-dosed with a vaccine, public health officials said this is not evidence that the vaccine is not working.... The sheer numbers of people vaccinated … mean that statistically, double-vaccinated patients will be a significant portion of hospital patients.” USA Today echoed this illogic in a fact-check crying foul on reports of vaccinated individuals in England dying of COVID-19: “[E]xperts say it’s expected that the vaccinated would account for the majority of deaths as the number of people vaccinated rises.”

The absurdity is unanswerable. An analysis of VAERS data since 1990 shows no such breakthrough effect from other vaccines. The notable exception prior to VAERS was an outbreak of polio in the rushed vaccine rollout of 1955. The infamous Cutter incident involved inoculation batches accidentally infested with live polio virus. The disastrous consequences left 10 children dead and 200 with varying degrees of paralysis, according to a 2006 article in the Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine. History repeats.

Vaccine Venom

Breakthrough COVID cases among the jabbed only tell part of the story. What about other adverse effects? Even without clinical data it is easy to surmise that COVID vaccines are injuring and killing huge numbers. Why else would so many healthcare professionals be willing to sacrifice their jobs to avoid the jab?

Blame goes to the vaccine injuries they are witnessing firsthand. “We’ve been seeing a lot [of severe side effects] in the hospitals just between the patients and employees that I work with,” Jennifer Bridges, R.N. told CNN’s Pulse of the People. “You don’t know until you take it if you’re going to get one of those reactions or not.” Bridges was the main plaintiff in a lawsuit filed by 117 former employees of a Houston hospital, fired for refusing their employer’s jab mandate. In his ruling, U.S. District Judge Lynn Hughes justified the hospital’s action as “saving lives” and sniffed that the nurses would “simply need to work somewhere else.” Hughes failed to explain his insinuation that it would be fine to endanger lives by working elsewhere unvaccinated.

VAERS provides clues about why those nurses are squeamish about getting a shot: as of December, more than 20,000 deaths, more than 100,000 hospitalizations, and more than 33,000 people left permanently disabled after getting the jab. Tens of thousands more have endured miscarriages, heart attacks, severe allergic reactions, and other life-threatening conditions.

Although VAERS data relay only reported cases without proven causality, government agencies rely on it as an early-warning indicator, as infectious disease expert Dr. Peter McCullough told The New American. “In the 1976 swine flu pandemic we attempted to vaccinate 55 million Americans,” he said. “At 25 deaths, the program was killed.” He noted that today, typically a drug is pulled off the market when reporteddeaths reach 50. COVID vaccines have already outstripped that limit 400 times over, and deaths attributed to them are more than double the combined VAERS total credited to other vaccines in the previous 30 years.

Historically FDA’s decisions to pull drugs have not depended on proven causality because, the agency admits, due to the voluntary nature of VAERS reporting, its numbers likely account for a small fraction of actual cases. The Lazarus Report, a definitive Department of Health and Human Services study, found that “less than 0.3% of all adverse drug events and 1-13% of serious events are reported.” If that holds true for COVID jabs, as many as two million victims have already perished. That’s why many healthcare professionals would rather face unemployment than this particular needlestick.

VAERS numbers are hardly an anomaly. Data obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request to the U.K.’s medical regulatory agency reveal that deaths due to COVID vaccines in the first six months of 2021 were “407% higher than deaths due to all other vaccines combined in the past 11 years,” according to U.K. website The Exposé.

The World Health Organization maintains its own database, called VigiAccess, which collects drug side-effect information from its 172 member countries and territories. As of mid-December it had recorded nearly three million adverse events and deaths related to COVID shots, with totals climbing daily. An astonishing number include pre-born babies — e.g., spontaneous abortions, stillbirths, and other pregnancy-related complications. Were those children counted as people rather than clumps of cells, VigiAccess numbers would include thousands more victims.

Excess Mortality

There is another unnerving phenomenon repeating itself around the globe. Areas of high vaccination rates are experiencing overall excess mortality — even higher than mortality in 2020 when COVID shut down the world. The grassroots group Israeli People’s Committee discovered excess mortality in their country following the government’s coercive vaccine mandates: 18 percent overall and a startling 30 percent in the 20 to 29 age group, compared to past averages. Particularly alarming is the high correlation between the number of people vaccinated per day and the number of deaths per day, in the range of 10 days post-vaccination. Likewise, research in Germany, commissioned by state parliament member Dr. Ute Bergner, found higher excess mortality in areas of the country with higher vaccination rates.

Officials in the United Kingdom brag about their mass immunization program, which began in December 2020 and expanded by July to include those as young as 12. The Express reported in early November, “Last week was the 16th week in a row where the [Office of National Statistics for England and Wales (ONS)] reported extra or ‘excess’ deaths” unrelated to COVID. The same data show a mind-boggling 63-percent increase in deaths among teen boys since they started getting jabbed, compared to the same period last year, and a 44-percent rise above the national five-year average in deaths among 12- to 15-year-olds. Former New York Times reporter and science writer Alex Berenson analyzed the ONS mortality data and found that since April, “vaccinated English adults under 60 are dying at twice the rate of unvaccinated people the same age.”

Is this excess mortality mere coincidence, or is there a link to vaccines? “The correlation does not prove that excess mortality is caused by vaccination,” notes Dr. Jane Orient, executive director of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, on the AAPS website. (NPR fell into this same statistical trap when it reported excess COVID deaths in Trump-supporting counties.) “On the other hand, vaccination cannot be shown to decrease mortality, since mortality increased,” Orient said, pointing out that the data demand further research, and that regardless, no one should be denied the “fundamental human right to decline an injection.”

Non-negotiable Rights

Joe Biden has obviously forgotten the concept of fundamental human rights, along with his promise at a December 2020 event in Delaware about the jab: “I wouldn’t demand it to be mandatory.” Now, his tyrannical mandates aim to encompass most Americans, and his recently released COVID Action Plan prioritizes life-threatening vaccinations for children as young as five. Despite damning evidence that proves the collossal failure of COVID vaccines, his administration obviously intends to extend the mandates indefinitely and expects a mask-shackled, lockdown-weary public to submit.

But freedom-loving Americans are using constitutional means to protect their rights. The attorneys general from 27 states, together with more than 100 organ-izations and companies, filed an appeal with the U.S. Supreme Court in mid-December to block Biden’s OSHA mandates. Courts are also intervening on behalf of the dying, as in the case of Chicago judge Paul Fullerton, who ordered a hospital to “step aside” and allow ivermectin for a dying man; the treatment saved his life. Meanwhile, grassroots movements are springing up. CNBC reported that “several hundred Google employees” recently signed a manifesto against vaccine mandates. Thousands of people are planning to gather in Washington, D.C., on January 23 for a grassroots “Defeat the Mandates: An American Homecoming” march planned by an international alliance of physicans, scientists, athletes, journalists, and celebrities.

Such stories are becoming more common. They promise an end to COVID tyranny, as more Americans wake up to their lab-rat status in this giant and deadly vaccine experiment. But they do not necessarily imply a return to normal, and that is a good thing. The pre-COVID world was one eager to surrender its God-given rights for a false sense of security. The outcome has been illicit quarantines, economic shutdown, censorship, and life-threatening injection mandates. America is ready for a new experiment in freedom.

In the Spectacle, Asymptomatic Transmission is the Sole Basis for Masks, Distancing and COVID Hysteria. In Reality, there are Over a Dozen Studies Proving Asymptomatic Transmission is Non-Existent

From [HERE] Asymptomatic transmission is the basis of masks, distancing and general hysteria. For this reason it is important to understand the fallacy of this paranoia and senseless fear. 
The below studies find the instance to be close to zero. Transmission of corona viruses and other influenza illnesses occur primarily only when symptoms are present and not from healthy asymptomatic people.

"We Have No Reason to Believe 5G Is Safe." 240 Scientists who published peer-reviewed research on health effects of electromagnetic fields [US Govt Only Trusts "Science" Funded by Big Tech or Pharma]

From [HERE] The telecommunications industry and their experts have accused many scientists who have researched the effects of cell phone radiation of "fear mongering" over the advent of wireless technology's 5G. Since much of our research is publicly-funded, we believe it is our ethical responsibility to inform the public about what the peer-reviewed scientific literature tells us about the health risks from wireless radiation.

The chairman of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) recently announced through a press release that the commission will soon reaffirm the radio frequency radiation (RFR) exposure limits that the FCC adopted in the late 1990s. These limits are based upon a behavioral change in ratsexposed to microwave radiation and were designed to protect us from short-term heating risks due to RFR exposure.  

Yet, since the FCC adopted these limits based largely on research from the 1980s, the preponderance of peer-reviewed research, more than 500 studies, have found harmful biologic or health effects from exposure to RFR at intensities too low to cause significant heating.

Citing this large body of research, more than 240 scientists who have published peer-reviewed research on the biologic and health effects of nonionizing electromagnetic fields (EMF) signed the International EMF Scientist Appeal, which calls for stronger exposure limits. The appeal makes the following assertions:

“Numerous recent scientific publications have shown that EMF affects living organisms at levels well below most international and national guidelines. Effects include increased cancer risk, cellular stress, increase in harmful free radicals, genetic damages, structural and functional changes of the reproductive system, learning and memory deficits, neurological disorders, and negative impacts on general well-being in humans. Damage goes well beyond the human race, as there is growing evidence of harmful effects to both plant and animal life.”

The scientists who signed this appeal arguably constitute the majority of experts on the effects of nonionizing radiation. They have published more than 2,000 papers and letters on EMF in professional journals.

The FCC’s RFR exposure limits regulate the intensity of exposure, taking into account the frequency of the carrier waves, but ignore the signaling properties of the RFR. Along with the patterning and duration of exposures, certain characteristics of the signal (e.g., pulsing, polarization)increase the biologic and health impacts of the exposure. New exposure limits are needed which account for these differential effects. Moreover, these limits should be based on a biological effect, not a change in a laboratory rat’s behavior.

The World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classified RFR as "possibly carcinogenic to humans" in 2011. Last year, a $30 million study conducted by the U.S. National Toxicology Program (NTP) found “clear evidence” that two years of exposure to cell phone RFR increased cancer in male rats and damaged DNA in rats and mice of both sexes. The Ramazzini Institute in Italy replicated the key finding of the NTP using a different carrier frequency and much weaker exposure to cell phone radiation over the life of the rats.

Based upon the research published since 2011, including human and animal studies and mechanistic data, the IARC has recently prioritized RFR to be reviewed again in the next five years. Since many EMF scientists believe we now have sufficient evidence to consider RFR as either a probable or known human carcinogen, the IARC will likely upgrade the carcinogenic potential of RFR in the near future.

Nonetheless, without conducting a formal risk assessment or a systematic review of the research on RFR health effects, the FDA recently reaffirmed the FCC’s 1996 exposure limits in a letter to the FCC, stating that the agency had “concluded that no changes to the current standards are warranted at this time,” and that “NTP’s experimental findings should not be applied to human cell phone usage.” The letter stated that “the available scientific evidence to date does not support adverse health effects in humans due to exposures at or under the current limits.”

The latest cellular technology, 5G, will employ millimeter waves for the first time in addition to microwaves that have been in use for older cellular technologies, 2G through 4G. Given limited reach, 5G will require cell antennas every 100 to 200 meters, exposing many people to millimeter wave radiation. 5G also employs new technologies (e.g., active antennas capable of beam-forming; phased arrays; massive multiple inputs and outputs, known as massive MIMO) which pose unique challenges for measuring exposures.

Millimeter waves are mostly absorbed within a few millimeters of human skin and in the surface layers of the cornea. Short-term exposure can have adverse physiological effects in the peripheral nervous system, the immune system and the cardiovascular system. The research suggests that long-term exposure may pose health risks to the skin (e.g., melanoma), the eyes (e.g., ocular melanoma) and the testes (e.g., sterility).

Since 5G is a new technology, there is no research on health effects, so we are “flying blind” to quote a U.S. senator. However, we have considerable evidence about the harmful effects of 2G and 3G. Little is known the effects of exposure to 4G, a 10-year-old technology, because governments have been remiss in funding this research. Meanwhile, we are seeing increases in certain types of head and neck tumors in tumor registries, which may be at least partially attributable to the proliferation of cell phone radiation. These increases are consistent with results from case-control studies of tumor risk in heavy cell phone users.

5G will not replace 4G; it will accompany 4G for the near future and possibly over the long term. If there are synergistic effects from simultaneous exposures to multiple types of RFR, our overall risk of harm from RFR may increase substantially. Cancer is not the only risk as there is considerable evidence that RFR causes neurological disorders and reproductive harm, likely due to oxidative stress.

As a society, should we invest hundreds of billions of dollars deploying 5G, a cellular technology that requires the installation of 800,000 or more new cell antenna sites in the U.S. close to where we live, work and play?

Instead, we should support the recommendations of the 250 scientists and medical doctors who signed the 5G Appeal that calls for an immediate moratorium on the deployment of 5G and demand that our government fund the research needed to adopt biologically based exposure limits that protect our health and safety.

Newly Declassified Videos Shows U.S. Military Drone Strike that Murdered 7 Children and 3 Adults [all non-white]

From [HERE] Newly declassified surveillance footage provides additional insights about the final minutes and aftermath of a botched U.S. drone strike last year in Kabul, Afghanistan, showing how the military made a life-or-death decision based on imagery that was fuzzy, hard to interpret in real time and prone to confirmation bias.

The strike on Aug. 29 killed 10 innocent people — including seven children — in a tragic blunder that punctuated the end of the 20-year war in Afghanistan.

The disclosure of the videos was a rare step by the U.S. military in any case of an airstrike that caused civilian casualties, and is the first time any footage from the Kabul strike has been seen publicly. The videos encompass about 25 minutes of silent footage from two drones — a military official said both were MQ-9 Reapers — showing the minutes before, during and after the strike.

The at-times blurry footage that operators were watching will continue to be scrutinized for new details about how the episode unfolded, while demonstrating the heightened risk of error that accompanies any decision to fire a missile in a densely populated neighborhood.

The military said it believed it was tracking an ISIS-K terrorist who might imminently detonate a bomb near the Kabul airport. Three days earlier, a suicide bombing at the airport had killed at least 182 people, including 13 American troops.

The New York Times obtained the footage of the strike through a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit against United States Central Command, which oversaw military operations in Afghanistan. The disclosure is likely to add fuel to a debate about the rules for airstrikes and protections for civilians in the era of drone warfare.

The videos — one of which is in grainy imagery, apparently from a camera designed to detect heat — show a car arriving at and backing into a courtyard on a residential street blocked by walls. Blurry figures are seen moving around the courtyard, and children are walking on the street outside the walls in the moments before a fireball from a Hellfire missile engulfs the interior. Neighbors can then be seen desperately dumping water onto the courtyard from rooftops.

The scenes unfolding on the video are murky. In retrospect, it is clear that the images were misinterpreted by those who decided to fire.

American operators on Aug. 29 had been tracking the driver of a white Toyota Corolla for about eight hours before targeting him in the mistaken belief that he was an ISIS-K member moving bombs. But the man was instead Zemari Ahmadi, a worker employed by Nutrition and Education International, a California-based aid organization.

In November, a Pentagon official said blurry images in the videos revealed the presence of at least one child in the blast zone about two minutes before the missile was launched, but stressed that spotting that was obvious only in hindsight and with “the luxury of time.”

The footage from one of the drones briefly shows what appears to be a blurry shorter figure in white next to a taller figure in black inside the courtyard as the car is backing in, about two and a half minutes before the explosion. Shuddering on the other drone’s footage, about 21 seconds before the explosion, suggests that might have been when it launched a missile.

Relatives have told The Times that some children rushed to greet Mr. Ahmadi — one getting into his car — when he got home to a compound where four interrelated families lived, and that others were fatally wounded in rooms alongside the courtyard.

The footage shows other figures of indeterminate height moving around the courtyard over several minutes as Mr. Ahmadi’s sedan backed into the compound, including one person opening the passenger door of the car just before the blast.

In the days after the strike, the military described a secondary explosion that it insisted supported the suspicion the car contained a bomb but later said was probably a propane tank. The footage shows a fireball from the blast, which expands about two seconds later, but it is tough to make out what is happening in the flare.

The heights of most figures inside the courtyard are difficult to determine because the footage was shot from overhead, making it harder to identify whether they might be children. The video with the better angle into the courtyard is in black-and-white and has lower resolution. The other video, which is in color, begins after the car was already backing in, but briefly shifts into black-and-white — apparently a thermal lens — at the moment of the strike.

Reached by phone, Emal Ahmadi, the brother of Mr. Ahmadi, whose daughter Malika was also killed in the strike, told The Times that he wanted to view the video himself, after having only heard descriptions from the military. “It will be difficult for me,” he said, “but I want to see it.”

Responding to a description, Hina Shamsi, an American Civil Liberties Union lawyer who is representing the families of the victims and Nutrition and Education International, which employed Mr. Ahmadi, said the footage highlighted “a painful, devastating loss of 10 deeply beloved people.”

Capt. Bill Urban, the spokesman for the U.S. Central Command, reiterated the Pentagon’s apology.

“While the strike was intended for what was believed to be an imminent threat to our troops at Hamid Karzai International Airport, none of the family members killed are now believed to have been connected to ISIS-K or threats to our troops,” he said. “We deeply regret the loss of life that resulted from this strike.”

The blurrier main video begins as the white car was approaching the courtyard, following the vehicle through several streets. It shows people moving in the courtyard several minutes before the strike, as the car stops and then backs in. A laser range-finder briefly appears about 70 seconds before the strike, and then returns and stays for the final half minute. Additional blurry figures are visible just before they are engulfed in flames.

The clearer video, which is mostly in color, starts as the car is backing in and reveals little about who was in the courtyard because of the angle from which it was shot. But it more plainly shows a figure opening the front-right door of the car just before the explosion, as well as children on the street outside the gated courtyard. [MORE]

3 Sharon Hill Cops Charged After Murdering an 8-Year-Old Black Girl (Unarmed, Posed No Threat) In a Grave Indifference to Life Cops Fired Guns (lawfully obtained) into a Crowd Exiting a Football Game

From [HERE] Three police officers have been charged with manslaughter and reckless endangerment after firing their weapons in the direction of a crowd of people exiting a high school football game outside of Philadelphia, killing an 8-year-old girl and injuring three people.

A grand jury recommended the charges against the three Sharon Hill Police officers, Devon Smith, Sean Dolan and Brian Devaney, in the August 27 shooting that killed Fanta Bility. Murder charges previously filed against two Black teenagers for firing the gunshots that prompted the officers to shoot were also dropped Tuesday, according to a news release from the Delaware County District Attorney’s office.

Each officer was charged with 10 counts of reckless endangerment and one count of manslaughter and involuntary manslaughter, according the to the charging documents.

According to court records, all three men had their preliminary arraignments Tuesday morning and each was released on unsecured $500,000 bail. A message left with law firm McMonagle, Perri, McHugh, Mischak & Davis, which is representing all three men, was not immediately returned Tuesday.

Investigators say Angelo “AJ" Ford, 16, got into an argument with Hasein Strand, 19, and exchanged gunfire outside of the Aug. 27 football game in Sharon Hill, a small borough just north of the Philadelphia International Airport. That gunfire included two gunshots in the direction of the three officers, who were monitoring the crowd as it left the game, authorities said.

The officers returned that gunfire, firing their weapons toward a car they believed was involved in the initial gunfire, striking the car and members of the crowd of people leaving the game. Investigators later determined that the women in the car were not responsible for the initial gunfire.

Delaware County District Attorney Jack Stollsteimer had previously said there was a high probability that Bility and three of four others who were injured by gunfire had been struck by police. He said Tuesday that investigators are now certain they were struck by police gunfire.

Delaware County Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 27 President Joseph Fitzgerald issued a statement supporting the officers.

“This is a sad day for our officers, who face criminal charges for trying to do their jobs and keeping the community safe,” Fitzgerald wrote. “The FOP continues to support these fine officers and will provide a vigorous defense against these allegations.”

Borough officials had previously declined to release the officers' names. On Tuesday, Sharon Hill Solicitor Sean Kilkenny said the borough council will vote later this week on a motion to fire all three officers in the wake of the grand jury's findings.

Council President Tanya Allen wrote in an emailed statement that the council had been patient while the investigation was ongoing, but could move forward with measures to “hold the officers accountable."

“Sharon Hill’s heart is still broken. The entire Borough grieves for Fanta Bility and we again convey our deepest sympathies to her family and everyone affected by the shooting," Allen wrote in an emailed statement.

Stollsteimer's office also announced Tuesday that murder charges related to Bility's killing were being withdrawn against the two Black teens.

“While I believe these defendants should be held accountable for starting the series of events that ultimately led to Fanta Bility’s death, developments during the grand jury investigation render it appropriate to withdraw these charges at this time,” Stollsteimer wrote in the emailed release.

Stollsteimer had initially said in November that the first-degree murder charges were warranted under the legal principle of transferred intent, meaning their actions had set off the chain of events leading to Bility's death.

Earlier Tuesday, Strand had pleaded guilty to aggravated assault for his role in wounding one of the children struck by gunfire and to illegal possession of a firearm. In an emailed news release, a spokesperson said under the terms of the plea agreement, Strand will serve between 32 and 64 months in prison.

Ford is still facing charges for his “attempt to kill Strand," according to the release. A preliminary hearing for Ford was postponed last week as dozens of people gathered at the courthouse in Media to protest first-degree murder charges against the teens and demand that the officers be charged.

Stollsteimer, a Democrat who was elected on a reform agenda, has faced mounting criticism by members of his own party since charging the teens in November.

At least two Democratic committees in Delaware County urged Stollsteimer to recuse himself from the case and turn it over to the state attorney general’s office, while five members of the Philadelphia City Council released a statement last week condemning what they called a “shocking miscarriage of justice.”

Bruce L. Castor, Jr., an attorney representing Bility's family, said the family is happy with the decision to charge the officers. Castor, a former prosecutor in neighboring Montgomery County, who also represents a handful of other people who gave testimony to the grand jury in the case, said the district attorney's office has kept him and the family informed throughout the process.

“They are very pleased with how the district attorney and the grand jury handled the case so far," he said. “The one thing they didn't understand is why those other two shooter were charged in Fanta's death. It didn't make a lot of sense to them. But frankly, it takes a lot of courage to realize you're going down a blind alley and back yourself out of it and decide to go the right way. And I think that's what's happening here."

Borough officials had also hired an outside firm to examine the police department's training and policies in the aftermath of the shooting. That audit was still ongoing as of Tuesday.

You're "Free," So Long as You Obey Authority: Dayton Police Investigated Themselves, Found They Did Nothing Wrong When White Cops Dragged a Disobedient, Paraplegic Black Man Out His Car By His Hair

From [FTP] Clifford Owensby of Dayton, Ohio, learned the violent and oppressive lengths the American police state will go to enforce window tint extortion laws. Owensby, who had committed no crime, was targeted by police, assaulted, and then sent on his way because of the arbitrary darkness of his window tint. Days later, body camera footage was released released by police, showing just how brutal cops are willing to be over the darkness of a man’s windows — and skin too.

Owensby filed a complaint with the Professional Standards Bureau of the Dayton Police Department (DPD), who launched an investigation in October. Now, after “investigating” themselves for the last three months, police have come to the conclusion that officers did nothing wrong.

The report from the investigation determined Owensby’s allegations that officers threatened violence and mocked him were “unfounded” in spite of their violence captured on video.

The officer’s “pulling of Mr. Owensby’s hair may have been visually offensive to some people, but in reality the hair pulling was on the low end of the force spectrum and did not cause injury,” investigators found. “Mr. Owensby was removed to Grandview Medical Center where it was confirmed he was not injured during the incident.”

The officers faced no discipline in spite of turning off their body cameras and mocking Owensby which was recorded on a supervisor’s body camera. Investigators did, however, recommend more training as there is no policy in place that dealt with “how to best transport a disabled subject,” the review stated.

“I am always in favor or more training,” said James Willis, Owensby’s attorney. But in this case, he thinks the officers should have been terminated.

“I think the officers should be fired,” Willis said. “They are truly incompetent.”

The city’s mayor, Jeffrey J. Mims, released a statement Tuesday saying that residents “should feel that they are treated with dignity and respect, and I know that the incident between (Owensby) and Dayton Police fell short of that standard.”

Indeed, as the body camera footage of the incident is nothing short of disgusting.

Owensby’s nightmare started when he and his grandson were out running errands. As Owensby was driving down the street, harming no one, police targeted him for extortion because his window tint was at 20 percent. The interaction was captured on both body camera footage and cellphone footage.

As the video shows, an officer approaches the vehicle and tells the innocent father that his window tint is too dark before later demanding that he exit the vehicle so a drug dog and smell his car.

“I’m paraplegic,” Owensby says multiple times. “I got help getting in.”

“Well, I’ll help you get out,” the officer replies.

“Well, I don’t think that’s going to happen, sir,” Owensby says.

The officer then tells Owensby that they are going to run a drug dog around his car — because Owensby has been arrested in the past — and uses this threat as the last straw.

Owensby then calls a family member and asks them to come down to film the interaction.

“Bring cameras,” he said to his phone before asking for a supervisor.

“Here’s the thing, I’m going to pull you out and then I’ll call a white shirt. Because you’re getting out of the car,” the officer said. “That’s not an option. You’re getting out this car, so you can cooperate and get out of the car or I will drag you out of the car. Do you see your two options here?”

Moments later, as the video shows, Owensby is dragged from the car by his hair and thrown to the ground like a rag doll — over window tint.

As no drugs or contraband were found, cops had to seemingly make up charges on which to justify the treatment of Owensby. He was cited for his child being in the wrong car seat and improper window tint.

White Cop, Robert Huber, Identified as the Canton Cop who Murdered James Williams w/o Warning or Identification. Black Man Posed No Threat as He Fired His Gun Into the Air to Celebrate New Year's Eve

From [HERE] Anger is building in Canton, Ohio more than two weeks after police officer Robert Huber of the Canton Police Department shot and killed 46-year-old James Williams in his fenced-in backyard as Williams was ringing in the New Year with celebratory gunfire with his family.

Williams was shot multiple times by Huber roughly six minutes into the New Year. In police body camera footage released last week, it is obvious that James posed no threat to the officer, and that Huber did nothing to make his presence known prior to shooting and killing James. 

While police and local media have refused to name the killer cop, this reporter was able to cross-reference publicly available police reports and body camera footage released by the police to confirm the killer cop’s identity using his vehicle tag, K9-60.

In discovering the officer’s identity, it has also come to light that this latest tragic and criminal incident is not the first time Huber has been accused of “excessive force.” Huber was one of seven officers named in a 2018 lawsuit filed by Stephen Richburg II. While the lawsuit was dismissed, in it, Richburg claimed that despite following officers’ orders he was “met by a barrage of overreacting officers,” among them Huber, sending him to the hospital.

Such brutality is common across police departments in the US and internationally. In addition to fostering racist and other backwards attitudes, police are trained to view the working class as the “enemy” and are given enormous leeway by the judicial system to enforce bourgeois class rule in the most violent ways with virtually no fear of repercussions. 

While the police have refused to name the killer cop, Ohio state attorney general David Yost has sought to blame the latest victim of wanton police murder as “stupid” for doing something, according to Williams family lawyer, Joseph M. Gourrier, that was a “perfectly legal” activity in his own backyard. 

As part of the ongoing attempted cover-up, a so-called “independent” investigation into James’ killing has been launched by the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI). Exemplifying the futility of workers appealing to the state for redress or reform, the BCI reports to attorney general Yost, the same person that slandered Williams as “stupid” less than five days after he was murdered. 

Williams, a devoted husband to Marquetta Williams for the last 14 years, was set to turn 47 on January 13. Instead, the stay-at-home father to four daughters and two stepdaughters was laid to rest that day in Detroit, Michigan. In a recent conversation with the World Socialist Web Site, Marquetta described James as a “wonderful, husband, father, friend and brother.”

“He didn’t have to know you to help you,” said Williams. While a disability prevented James from working, Marquetta knew their children were well taken care of while she was at work. “He loved to cook, loved taking care of the kids.”

Williams, in a “typical New Year’s tradition,” recounted Marquetta, would go outside and shoot his rifle into the air. “It was tradition; about three of our neighbors were out shooting as well.” 

“It was at about 8 o’clock that night it started in our neighborhood. None of our neighbors had a problem, no one came up to us.”

The routine nature of celebratory gunfire on holidays such as New Year’s and the Fourth of July was even noted by Canton Police Chief Jack Angelo, who admitted after the shooting to local press that emergency calls reporting celebratory gunfire are most frequent during New Year’s Eve and the Fourth of July. 

In fact, this reporter was able to find a Canton police incident report for “firing/discharging” a weapon within city limits the same day Williams was shot and killed by Huber. Despite the “reporting party” stating that the “suspect did repeatedly discharge a shotgun within city limits as celebratory fire for New Years,” that person was not killed, nor was a citation issued. 

Questioning why the police never made their presence known before shooting James, Marquetta confirmed that Huber drove up to their house without his sirens or lights flashing. In fact, Marquetta said, “he didn’t even have his headlights turned on.”

Reviewing the body camera footage, it is clear that Huber had multiple chances to make himself known to James, prior to shooting him. “There were three different instances where the cop could have deescalated the situation or made himself known,” said Marquetta.

“First he didn’t flash his lights or use his siren. Then he was on our porch and admitted on camera to seeing James put down the gun, yet he never knocked on our door. Finally, before he shot James, he never said a word, only announcing himself afterwards.”

While local media, such as the Canton Repository, have attempted to blame James for his own death, citing the alleged criminality of shooting a legally owned firearm into the air within city limits, Gourrier, the Williams family lawyer, speaking to the WSWS, pointed out that under the Ohio Revised Code 2923.162(B), Williams was not violating any laws. 

“We feel like the Canton Repository, they are telling the city’s side of the story, in order to escape liability,” Gourrier explained to the WSWS. He explained that in the last two decades, laws have been passed on the state level which undercut “local governments’ ability to regulate the use of firearms.” According to Gourrier, this means that under the current codes, Williams, who “was on his own property, was not violating any laws.”

In any case, Gourrier correctly observed, “the officer used excessive force; even if Williams was violating a city ordinance, it is a misdemeanor, not a death sentence.”

Marquetta recounted the plethora of indignities the Williams family has suffered at the indifferent hands of the Canton Police Department since the beginning of the year. 

Immediately after Huber shot James, Marquetta recounted how police did nothing to ensure his survival, refusing to offer medical aid.

“No, they did not offer aid, they did not try and help James after they shot him.” Instead, James waited for some ten minutes for an ambulance to arrive while Marquetta was told she could not ride with him to the hospital because she had to “answer questions” from the police. 

“I was not allowed to get in the ambulance and go with James to the hospital. They had me stand for over an hour, closer to two... finally I went to hospital, by that time James was already dead.” 

“At 5:30 a.m. I was still speaking with investigators,” recounted Marquetta.

The family has devised a ten-point plan of action. Among the items, they are calling for the release of all the body camera, audio and telephone recordings; that the police officer responsible for killing James to be fired; and that he be charged with murder. Since the killing of Williams, his family, friends and community members have held rallies every Saturday outside the Canton Police Department headquarters, with plans for further demonstrations.

Marquetta drew attention to the racist attitudes that permeate police departments throughout the US: “Police officers tend to view African-Americans as criminals, tend to approach them, that they are all dangerous, ‘I fear for my life.’ These cops are always afraid. If you are afraid of every person you meet, every black person you meet, you need to get a different job.”

Speaking on the global character of police violence, including worldwide protests following the killings of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and Ahmaud Arbery in 2020, Marquetta agreed that a mass movement is necessary and that there should be “solidarity for all victims” of police violence.

“This is a bigger problem than just racist cops; black cops can be racist as well,” noted Marquetta.

All those who wish to support the Williams’ family GoFundMe are encouraged to do so here. Those who want to fight to build a mass movement of workers, students and youth against the capitalist system, the source of unending police violence, should join the Socialist Equality Party.

Feds Indict 2 White Patterson Cops for Unprovoked Attack on Arab Teen, Repeatedly Punched in the Face while His Hands Were in His Pockets. Cops Claimed They were Assaulted but Video Shows Otherwise

From [HERE] Two white Paterson Police Officers are facing civil rights and obstruction of justice charges for allegedly assaulting a victim in Paterson and then lying about it, Acting U.S. Attorney Rachael A. Honig announced, 2 of 11 city cops convicted or charged with crimes since 2018.

Paterson Police Officers Kevin Patino, 29, of Paterson New Jersey, and Kendry Tineo-Restituyo, 28, also of Paterson, New Jersey are both charged by complaint with depriving a victim of his Constitutional right to be free from the use of unreasonable force by law enforcement officers and with filing a false police report.

According to the US Attorney’s Office:

At approximately 12:30 a.m. on December 14, 2020, in Paterson, Patino and Tineo-Restituyo approached the victim, who was walking with his hands in his pockets. Patino grabbed hold of the victim. When the victim attempted to separate himself, Patino struck the victim in the face and body numerous times. While Patino was striking the victim, Tineo-Restituyo picked the victim up and threw him to the ground. Patino and Tineo-Restituyo then repeatedly struck the victim while he was on the ground.      

Patino and Tineo-Restituyo then filed a police report regarding the arrest of the victim, which contained numerous false statements and omissions. For instance, the police report falsely stated that the victim had walked towards the officers “screaming profanities” and “acting belligerent” and that the victim had struck Patino with a closed fist in the chest. None of this was true. The report also omitted the fact that Patino and Tineo-Restituyo continued to strike the victim after the victim was on the ground.

The violation of civil rights count carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison. The false records count carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison. The maximum fine for each of the charges is $250,000.

Those arrests prompted the Passaic County Prosecutor’s Office to take oversight of the Paterson Police Department’s Internal Affairs Division, the group that’s supposed to investigate alleged wrongdoing by city cops.

But the leader of Paterson’s Black Lives Matter group, Zellie Thomas, said Tuesday that the county oversight was not a strong enough measure, considering the number of police corruption cases in the city. Thomas said the Paterson Police Department needs intervention by the federal government.

“We’re not talking about one cop or two cops,” Thomas said. “We’re talking about 11 police officers.”

When asked if he thought intervention was needed, Mayor Andre Sayegh said the Police Department "has made strides in the areas of police accountability and installing tools to build trust."

"My administration will continue to hold officers who violate the law accountable," he added.

Patino was charged with a civil rights crime for alleged use of “unreasonable force” against the man he beat and trying to cover up the crime with a false police report.

“Officer Patino's actions were appropriate under the circumstances and a response to the actions of the person he sought to arrest,” said his lawyer, Anthony J. Iacullo. “We are confident that Officer Patino will be exonerated of all charges.”

The man beaten, then-19-year-old Osamah Alsaidi, has said he tried to report the assault to Paterson police officers but was ignored. Alsaidi then posted the video of the attack on social media, and federal authorities filed charges against the two cops several months after that.


City records have shown that Patino filed 15 reports documenting his use of force during interactions with the public during the three years before the Alsaidi incident, including 12 cases in which he struck people with his hands or fist.

In the decade before this incident, the Paterson’s Internal Affairs Division found wrongdoing by city police officers in nine out of 283 complaints over alleged excessive force.

VA Attorney General says Virginia Beach Police Used Fake DNA Reports in a Bid to Obtain Confessions

From [HERE] Police in Virginia Beach, Virginia, used fake DNA reports in an effort to get confessions, cooperation or convictions, according to outgoing Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring.

The police department used the fake reports in at least five instances between March 2016 and February 2020, according to a press release by Herring.

The Associated PressNPR, the Virginian-Pilotand the Washington Post have coverage.

Herring’s Office of Civil Rights had investigated after an assistant commonwealth’s attorney sought a certified copy of what turned out to be a fake report from the state’s forensic science agency in April 2021.

The forged documents generally claimed that a suspect’s DNA was found in connection with a crime. The fake reports purported to come from the Virginia Department of Forensic Science.

“This was an extremely troubling and potentially unconstitutional tactic,” Herring said in the press release.

In one instance, a forged document was presented to a court as evidence in a bail hearing, Herring’s office told the Washington Post. The prosecutor notified the court and the defense attorney after she learned that a fake document had been used. The defendant was given a new hearing.

On Jan. 11, the Virginia Beach City Council agreed to a conciliation agreement with the attorney general’s office that requires an end to the practice and police training against the use of forged documents.

The police department had cooperated in the state investigation and had banned use of the fake documents in May. People who were interrogated using the fake documents will be notified.

In a statement, the Virginia Beach Police Department said the practice, “though legal, was not in the spirit of what the community expects.”

The Washington Post points to a 1997 Virginia appeals court decision supporting the police department’s view of legality. The decision affirmed a murder conviction in which the suspect confessed after police showed him fake fingerprint and DNA reports implicating him in the crime.

Defense lawyer Chris Leibig told the Washington Post that other courts have also upheld the use of falsehoods.

“Unfortunately, courts, including in Virginia, have held that falsehoods by police in obtaining an alleged confession, even the use of forged documents, does not necessarily invalidate a confession,” Leibig said. “Such ploys are just a factor to be considered in whether a confession was voluntary. Reprehensible does not equal unconstitutional.”

A ‘Fair and Speedy Trial’ is a Pipe Dream for Black and or Poor Defendants: Study

From [HERE] While most Americans believe arrested people go to court soon after their arrest, Constitutional guarantees of a “fair and speedy trial” are infrequently honored in our under-resourced criminal justice system, according to a study produced by the Deason Criminal Justice Reform Center at the Southern Methodist University Dedman School of Law.

Over 30 states lack laws that establish a firm deadline for initial appearances, requiring only that such appearances occur “within a reasonable time,” with the result that individuals can be held behind bars for weeks before seeing an attorney, charge the report’s authors.

The burden of the chronic “Initial Appearance Crisis” falls disproportionately on Black people, who are far more likely to be detained before trial than white people because they lack money for bail or for legal counsel.

“Not only is a larger proportion of the Black population in jail, but available research shows that Black people are far more likely to be detained before trial than white people,” the report said.

That has far-reaching consequences, the report said.

The long wait for a trial means that “witnesses’ memories may fade, and essential evidence may disappear,” the researchers said, adding that community and family stability and health also suffer while .a court date is pending.

“A defendant may lose their job, home, or family,” said the report.

Jointly funded by Arnold Ventures and The Koch Foundation, the report outlines the consequences of the Constitutional “silences” surrounding the lengthy timeline of post-arrest court appearances.

According to the authors — Pamela R. Metzger, Janet C. Hoeffel, Kristin M. Meeks, and Sandra Sidi — initial appearance involves a judge advising an arrested person of their rights, informing them of the charges they face, and offering the defendant a chance to contest the charges.

When the process fails to operate promptly, not only are arrested people left waiting for weeks — and even months — in jail, but they also lack the opportunity to argue for pretrial release.

“What is a “reasonable” amount of time for a defendant to wait in jail for someone to actually start to defend them? The Supreme Court has never said,” the authors assert.

The “reasonable time” permitted under many state statutes can quickly stretch into months, as in the case of Jessica Jauch, a resident of Choctaw County in Mississippi.

A Mississippi grand jury indicted Jauch on felony drug charges, issuing a warrant for her arrest that ultimately ended in her incarceration. As Jauch urged jail officials to let her go to court, state law permitted Jauch’s appearance to wait “until the next term of court” — a date three months after her arrest.

After 90 days in jail, Jauch had her first court appearance. When she was released six days later, surveillance footage confirmed she was innocent of the drug charges.

Regardless of state law, many arrested people wait in jail without a court appearance due to patterns of local malpractice.

“People who are in jail cannot work or meet their family obligations,” the authors write.

“They are frightened about what may happen, and — because they have not had an initial appearance — they have little information about the legal process. Additionally, jails are violent, cramped, and frightening places. A person who is in jail before trial may suffer long-term trauma or physical injury.”

The authors provocatively compared the situation in many parts of the country to authoritarian regimes where individuals arrested by police “disappear” behind bars with no trace.

“Lengthy detentions between arrest and a first court appearance mimic the police ‘disappearances’ so common under authoritarian regimes,” the authors wrote. “The Constitution guarantees that no one will be jailed without access to the courts or an attorney.

“Yet, the initial appearance crisis allows people to languish in jail alone, afraid, and undefended.” [MORE]

[fires caused by Space Heaters or White Supremacy in Liberal NYC?] The deadly fires in the Bronx and Philadelphia follow a historical pattern of Black people dying in accidents at alarming rates

From [HERE] As leaders shift blame from electric space heaters to overcrowded housing in the wake of deadly fires in both the Bronx, New York and Philadelphia, experts say the true culprit is poor residential conditions and the racism rife in the nation’s urban planning and infrastructure decisions.

Within days of each other, the fire in a Bronx building killed at least 17 people, including several Gambian immigrants, and another in a Philadelphia row house killed a dozen. But the fatal nature of these fires follows a historical pattern in which negligent policymaking and infrastructural decisions can kill Black people at disproportionate rates.

“We’re looking at how land use and zoning policies are used. Because of housing segregation, those policies have been used against communities of color,” said Juanita Lewis, an organizer with the New York social justice group Community Voices Heard. “We’re still operating under the context of housing segregation and having to prove who is worthy of protection and living in decent housing. The fire was started by a space heater because there was inadequate heat. The situation in the Bronx is extremely sad, unfortunate and disheartening, but it’s not uncommon.” 

The legacy of early zoning laws across the country that promoted segregation exists today in housing instability that forces Black people into neglected rental units rife with maintenance issues that place them at higher risk for everything from fire deaths to lead poisoning. Black people are more likely than people of other races to die in accidents like fires. Though Black people make up about 13 percent of the U.S. population, they represent 25 percent of individuals killed in residential fires across the country, according to the New York State Department of Health.  “Racism influences almost every way to die by accident in America, and it has for a long, long time,” said Jessie Singer, a journalist and author of “There Are No Accidents.” “I looked as far back as 1900, and Black people die by accident at a higher rate than white people, all accidents total. Accidents are supposed to be unpredictable, unpreventable events. If that were true, accidental deaths would be randomly distributed across the U.S., but it’s not.” 

Nine adults and eight children died in the Bronx fire that broke out Sunday morning in the 19-story building on East 181st Street, with authorities responding to the building at about 11 a.m., according to NBC New York. Mayor Eric Adams and New York City Fire Department Commissioner Dan Nigro confirmed that a space heater sparked the blaze and smoke was able to travel quickly through the building after safety doors failed to close. 

The building, built in 1972, did not have fire escapes or sprinkler systems throughout the building, as rules requiring both don’t apply to the city’s older buildings. Department of Housing Preservation and Development online records show several complaints from the residents, including lack of heat in some apartments. 

The apartment building is owned by Bronx Park Phase III Preservation LLC, and city records list the building’s head officer as Rick Gropper, who was appointed to Adams’ mayoral transition team before he took office, The New York Times reported. The building’s owner has not responded to an NBC News request for comment.

For Black immigrants, especially those with low incomes and little formal education, it can be difficult to advocate for safe residential conditions, said Theodore Hamm, the journalism chair and an associate professor who focuses on urban planning, among other subjects, at St. Joseph’s College in Brooklyn, New York.

“There are so many structural impediments to getting problems resolved,” Hamm said. “If you’re a tenant in one of these buildings and there’s a need for upkeep and maintenance, then what do you do? You can call your management company and complain, but if they don’t do anything, what’s the next step? You could call the city, but will that remedy the complaint? In that position, you don’t have much power.” 

Twelve people, including eight children, died in the Philadelphia fire Jan. 5. Officials said there were at least four smoke detectors installed in the row house, but none were working when the fire broke out at the three-floor building in the Fairmount neighborhood around 6:40 a.m. Philadelphia Fire Commissioner Adam K. Thiel said Tuesday that a Christmas tree had gone up in flames. [MORE]

Healthy, Black Woman Olympic Sprinter Forced to Get the Fake Vax is Diagnosed with Pericarditis, Heart Inflammation After Pfizer Booster Injection

Swiss Olympic sprinter gets pericarditis after Pfizer’s COVID booster

In a Jan. 17 social media post, swiss Olympic sprinter Sarah Atcho, a Black woman, said she is experiencing pericarditis after receiving a Pfizer booster shot.

On Dec. 22, Atcho received a booster because she “didn’t want to struggle with this when the season started” and was told it was safer to get Pfizer — even though she had Moderna the first time — to avoid cardiac side effects.

On Dec. 27, Atcho said she started experiencing tightness in her chest and felt dizzy while walking. A cardiologist diagnosed Atcho with pericarditis — inflammation of the thin membrane that surrounds the heart.

Atcho is not allowed to get her heart rate up for several weeks to allow her heart to rest and heal from the inflammation. Said she is upset nobody talks about the “heavy side-effects” young and healthy people are experiencing after receiving COVID vaccines. [MORE]

“I was told that it was safer to get Pfizer to avoid cardiac side effects,” she wrote.

“On December 27 I felt a tightness in the chest and started feeling dizzy while walking up the stairs. This happened a few more times until I decided to check with a cardiologist who diagnosed me with pericarditis (inflammation of the thin membrane surrounding the heart). I am now not allowed to get my heart rate up for a few weeks to allow my heart to rest and heal from the inflammation.” [MORE]

NYPD Arrest and Detain a 9 Year Old Black Girl and 5 Adults for Refusing to Show COVID Injection Papers at Natural History Museum

From [HERE] NYPD officers were heckled for arresting five organized anti-vax mandate protesters and detaining a nine year-old girl Wednesday after they barged into the Natural History Museum without showing proof of COVID vaccination.  

The arrests, which come amid soaring crime in the Big Apple, took place on Wednesday. Trouble began when a half-dozen purported members of the New York Freedom Rally - a group that has been staging anti-vax protests throughout the city - attempted to enter the Manhattan museum without showing their vaccine passports in violation of rules. Those require every visitor five years and older to show proof of vaccination. 

The nine year-old, named Jayla, was filmed sobbing as she was marched down the steps by two cops, with onlookers filmed heckling and abusing the NYPD officers over her apprehension. She and her unnamed mom were taken to a nearby precinct, and released two hours later. It is unclear if the youngster's mom will be charged.

The six anti-mandate activists affiliated with the New York Freedom Rally had made reservations to visit the museum on Wednesday, but were denied entry after failing to produce their COVID vaccine passports.

Their protest was documented by a Twitter user describing himself as an 'independent journalist' reporting on the anti-mandate movement in New York City. 

An argument with security and museum officials ensued and quickly escalated, even briefly turning into a shoving match, after one of the women in the group, Joy, was denied access to a bathroom, despite telling staff she was on her period. 

Protester Mitchell Bosch, who has gained notoriety by taking part in several recent anti-mandate stunts throughout the city, came to Joy's defense, yelling at the guards: 'I'll take on all of you! You'll have to drag me out.'

Bosch later laid down on the floor and presented museum staffers with an ultimatum: either they let him and the group visit the museum, 'or you call the police. That is the line. There is no negotiating.' 

NYPD officers were called to the scene and removed the protesters from the museum.

The Futile Search for Phfreedom in the Free Range Prison: Census Data Shows Black Americans are Relocating to the South from Liberal Metropolises such as NYC

From [HERE] Some are calling it the new Great Migration, African Americans moving out of the cities that their parents and grandparents fled to during Jim Crow and into the South‘s booming metropolises.

The percentage of Black Americans who live in the South has been increasing since 1990, and the biggest gains have been in the region’s large urban areas, according to census data. The Black population of metro Atlanta more than doubled between 1990 and 2020, surpassing 2 million in the most recent census, with the city overtaking Chicago as the second-largest concentration of African Americans in the country after metropolitan New York. The Black population also more than doubled in metro Charlotte while greater Houston and Dallas-Fort Worth both saw their Black populations surpass 1 million for the first time. Several smaller metro areas also saw sizable gains, including San Antonio; Raleigh and Greensboro, N.C.; Orlando and Little Rock.

Meanwhile, the Black population shrank in a number of Northern and Western cities. For the second census in a row, Chicago and its suburbs lost Black population, and has decreased by 130,000 since 1990. In Michigan, both the Detroit and Flint metropolitan areas lost Black population in absolute terms. The metropolitan areas of St. Louis, Cleveland and Milwaukee recorded their first declines in Black population since African Americans started arriving in large numbers during the Great Migration. This trend extended far beyond the Midwest. Metro New York recorded its second consecutive loss in Black population, losing about 110,000 Black residents since 2000. In California, metro Los Angeles has lost 160,000 Black residents since 1990, while metro San Francisco has lost 90,000.

To understand the reasons behind this new Great Migration, The Washington Post interviewed Black Americans across three Southern states — Georgia, North Carolina and Texas — who had moved to the South in recent decades. Like many of those who moved during the original Great Migration, the primary driver of their decisions to leave home was economic. They moved South either with a new job already in hand or with hope that they could find work in some of the nation’s fastest-growing cities. Many also moved in search of affordable housing that could help their families build the kind of generational wealth their parents and grandparents in the North were locked out of because of redlining and other discriminatory housing policies. Some were hesitant about moving South, recalling the horror stories of racial terror told to them by their elders. They all found that racism existed in both the North and South, but for some, the larger concentrations of Black people in the South provided additional safety. In all cases, they moved in search of something better, but looking back, none felt like they’d found the promised land — at least not yet. [MORE]

Marching in a Circle, Going Nowhere: Electing White Liberals Hasn’t Neutralized White Supremacy. Few Political Goals Achieved by Blacks including the Voting Rights Act were Accomplished by Voting

OSHO Rajineesh stated, “Whenever you fail in something it is not the ultimate failure, you can transcend it. Next time you need not do it again, next time you need not commit the same error and the same mistake, next time there is no need to move in the suffering. A man who is wise suffers as much as a man who is not wise, but in a different way each time. A wise man commits as many mistakes – even more than a stupid man – but he never commits the same mistake twice. That’s the only difference: the quantity may be more, but the quality is different. An idiot may not commit many mistakes, he may not commit mistakes at all, because he is never going to do anything. You only commit a mistake when you do something. You can go astray if you seek and search, if you walk on the path. If you are simply sitting at home, how can you go astray? If you don’t do anything you will never commit a mistake, you will be a mistakeless man, but you will never move; by and by you will simply rot, vegetate and die. Never be afraid of making mistakes, simply remember that there is no need to make the same mistake twice. Why do you make the same mistake twice? – because the first time you made it you didn’t learn anything from it. That’s why you have to make mistakes again and again and again. And people go on making the same mistakes, repeating them their whole lives; they move in a circle. That’s why Hindus have called this world sansar. Sansar means the wheel: you simply repeat the same mistakes again and again and again. Situations may differ, but the mistake remains the same, of the same quality. What does it show? It shows that you are not alert, otherwise why commit the same mistake again? Commit another because then you will learn. Nobody learns without mistakes. Whenever you commit a mistake you have to suffer. Nobody learns without suffering. Hindus have said that you have to be born again and again because you have not yet grown.“

HOW DID WE GET THE RIGHT TO VOTE? WAS IT BY BEGGING OUR MASTERS? [MORE] To much of the Black votary, whether President Brandon or Kamala Harris will ever deliver any tangible, material benefits or actually economically empower Black people or provide substantive justice to the Black community is beside the point. Claud Anderson explains, “Both White and Black candidates for public office, various political parties, and this nation, all get a free ride with Black voters.”

The rebel Dr. Amos Wilson Amos Wilson asks Black people,

‘Who has control of your food? Who has control of your electricity? Who has control of your water? Of your jobs? Who tells you what to wear when you go to work? Who tells you when to come to work...when to leave...when to go to lunch...how to speak...how to write...how to do this...how to do that...and how are these things taught, and how they are conditioned?"-- It is by reward and punishment. " You do this you get paid; you don't do this you don't get paid; you get a raise, you get docked. What do we have here?’

To live under the power of another people is to be created by that people. To be rewarded or punished by that people is to be created by that people. We are living under them as the result of the exercise of the power of another people over us. Therefore, if we wish to change this situation (i.e., the conditions under which we live), then we must change the power relationships. If we are to prevent ourselves from being created by another people and are to engage in the act of self creation, then we must change the power relations.’

Wilson also explained that the so-called Black bourgeoisie has no independent power on its own. Rather it maintains it status through its direct political and corporate ties to the Democratic party establishment. The “Niggerati” or Jack & Jill Blacks from the Moteasuh Tribe would rather in engage in fantasy discussions, such as talk about reparations and symbolic politics like the removal of statutes, than deal with the nuts and bolts work of economic development, the creation of sustainable independent communities and institutions and providing a real education to Black children that teaches them how to solve their communities problems and defend their group interests, not mere training to serve elite whites, dominate their own people and enhance the system of authority.

Wilson stated,

“This establishment strives strenuously to convince the Black electorate that every conceivable problem which confronts it can be resolved through voting heavily for Black and friendly White politicians. The Black media is ever quick to remind the Black electorate of the historical struggles necessary to achieve their right to vote. It indicts the community for its electoral apathy and seeks to evoke guilt feelings in those who do not participate in the electoral process — making such ritualistic participation emblematic of democracy and first-class citizenship. This is of special interest when it is realized that very few, if any, of the major political, economic and social goals achieved by Black America, including the Voting Rights Act, were accomplished through Black voting prowess. The ballot box has been a relatively impotent weapon in the achievement of major victories by the Black community. Suddenly vigorous protest and direct-action legal suits and extralegal processes such as boycotts, sit-ins, and the like, which were used so effectively by the community to achieve its sociopolitical ends and to fight injustice and oppression, have fallen far behind the election of Black politicians to achieve the same ends. The mystery of the Black media establishment's complicity with this type of political fraud — the electing of politicians to a bankrupt political system dominated by the ruling corporate elite whose values and aims are inimical to the cause of Black liberation; the election of Black politicians who are but pawns of the White Democratic Party machine and who seek to have the Black community identify its communal interest with the politicians' personal interests; the election of politicians who in no way are interested in developing a program for the economic emancipation and empowerment of the Black community, and who are not committed to the final overthrow of White supremacy, becomes clear when we recognize their bourgeois interests.” [MORE]
