3 Years Later, East Point Cops are Indicted for Shooting a Black Man in the Back as He Fled Into the Woods, Causing Permanent Paralysis

From [HERE] Three years after East Point Police officers opened fire on an allegedly stolen black Nissan and left a man paralyzed -- two of them have been indicted.

The shooting happened in Dec. 2018. Police and the victim's attorneys have given different stories about what happened that day. In the end, Devin Nolley was paralyzed from the neck down. 

The now-former officers, Rodney Etienne and Shiron Nicole Varner, were indicted by a Fulton County grand jury on Monday on charges that include aggravated assault, the Grand Jury concluding that they used excessive force when trying to arrest Nolley.

According to authorities, that day in December 2018, an officer in an unmarked East Point police car identified a stolen black Nissan in a gas station parking lot on Camp Creek Parkway. Several marked police cars joined the unmarked vehicle and followed the Nissan to a Publix parking lot on Carmia Drive.

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation said uniformed officers walked up to the Nissan. The driver, later identified as Nolley, reversed and rammed the unmarked police car. Officers fired upon the Nissan. Nolley then drove toward I-285. Officers from the City of South Fulton then joined the pursuit, records show.

Once Nolley reached the interstate, he collided into the median wall, got out of the car and ran toward the woods. As he was running away, the officers shot him in the back. 

But according to one of Nolley's attorneys, Jackie Patterson, his client never rammed a police car.

“My client simply backed up and drove around them, and that’s when they started shooting at him at the Camp Creek Marketplace," Patterson said in 2019.

Patterson also said that officers rammed Nolley's vehicle on I-285, causing him to lose control.

“He jumped out of the vehicle, jumped over the rail to head towards the woods and that’s when they shot him in the back and he was completely unarmed," Patterson said in 2019. "He was shot twice in the back and twice in the legs."

Nolley's attorneys have since filed a lawsuit for $30 million against the cities of East Point and South Fulton.

"It was excessive force to shoot a man in the back who was unarmed, who was running away from the officers," Patterson said Thursday. "The D.A.'s office has determined that, no matter what my client did."

He added, "the officers used excessive force And that's the real issue in this case. No lives were in danger at the time that they fired and struck him in the back."

Patterson added that Nolley now lives in a west Georgia facility receiving 24 hour care. 

Jury (indoctrinated Sheeple drafted to prevent law from degenerating into justice) Finds White VA Cop Not Guilty of Assault Despite Video of Cop Tasing Black Man in the Back as He Sought Medic Help

From [HERE] and [HERE] A white Fairfax County Police officer was charged after a body camera video released showed him tasing an unarmed Black man and has been found not guilty on all counts Friday.

Officer Tyler Timberlake was charged with three counts of misdemeanor assault and battery for tasing LaMonta Gladney, smacking him in the face and tasing him a second time on June 5, 2020, at the height of the social justice protests.

The police officer is seen on body-camera footage June 5 firing a Taser at a disoriented man without apparent provocation, before pinning him to the ground with a knee to his neck, as a Minneapolis officer did in the encounter with Floyd.

La Monta Gladney, 36, survived and officer Tyler Timberlake was charged with three counts of misdemeanor assault and battery less than 36 hours after the incident on a Mount Vernon street. The bogus assault charges against the Black man were dropped.

WTOP Radio reports that both a prosecutor and a defense lawyer for Officer Tyler Timberlake agreed at a preliminary hearing that Timberlake thought he shot a person named Anthony, who had an extensive criminal record. But the victim was somebody else entirely.

The video shows the white cop walking at a brisk pace straight toward the black man and without any hesitation or communication with him he shoots him the back upper shoulder. Clearly the cop took no time to corroborate any description, details or identity to support his lies.

In 2018, African Americans made up roughly 10 percent of Fairfax’s population but constituted 44 percent of the cases in which officers deployed force, according to department statistics. In contrast, whites made up 61 percent of the county’s population but were involved in only 33 percent of such cases. [MORE]

The number of use-of-force cases against African Americans has jumped 25 percent since 2016, according to the figures. 

Dozens of Fairfax County police officers crowded into the courtroom throughout the trial to support Timberlake. When he stepped out in the hallway after the not guilty verdicts, the officers applauded and cheered.

"Thanks you all for your support," Timberlake told them. "It means the world to my family. Stay safe out there."

Fairfax County Commonwealth’s Attorney Steve Descano released a statement after the verdict calling it a "disappointment," adding he was not surprised.

"It is notoriously hard to prosecute a case like this, but my standard of prosecuting a case isn’t whether it’s easy or hard. My standard is doing what I think is right to hold people, including law enforcement, accountable for their actions," the statement says.

Descano said more work needs to be done. 

"True justice will be achieved when my Black and brown neighbors don’t have to fear for their well-being when they leave their homes."

Fairfax County Fraternal Order of Police President Brad Carruthers released a statement saying, "We vociferously defended Timberlake from the beginning, and this case highlights the importance to conduct a thorough and balanced investigation before levying charges..... Partisan politics has no place in the prosecutor's office."

Timberlake still faces potential police department discipline. But his lawyer thinks that that is unlikely now. He’s been on restricted duty since the incident on June 5, 2020. Soon he’ll be back out the streets trying to kill other NGHRS!

Liberal LA Cty DA Won't Charge White Cop Who Murdered Anthony McLain. Cops Had No Legal Basis to Detain Black Passenger Shot in the Back as He Fled. Fearful Cop Reasonably Believed a Belt was a Gun

From [HERE] In a separate report also made public late Wednesday, prosecutors said they would not charge the Pasadena police officer who shot and killed Anthony McClain as he fled from a traffic stop two years ago. The Aug. 15, 2020, shooting spurred protests by Black Lives Matter in the streets of Old Pasadena and gained the attention of nationally renowned civil rights attorney Benjamin Crump.

The city of Pasadena has already paid out $7.5 million to McLain’s family.

The decision not to prosecute could engender political backlash against George Gascón, the embattled white Los Angeles County district attorney, who is facing the threat of a recall and who was elected on a promise of holding police accountable in cases where they used deadly force in unnecessary situations.

Activists in San Francisco had long warned that Gascón, who did not charge a single officer in a shooting case in eight years as a top prosecutor in the Bay Area, would fail to do so in Los Angeles as well. Gascón also promised to reopen a number of cases in which police used fatal force that his predecessor, Jackie Lacey, declined to prosecute. But that plan has also hit a number of roadblocks.

“We know this is excruciating and that the families are understandably devastated. We also understand that the public has questions, but out of respect for the families, we wanted to meet with them first and give them time to process this difficult information,” Gascón said in a statement. “We do want to be clear: the burden of proof for prosecution is high. Our decision does not mean that what happened is right.”

Attorneys for the family of a Black man who was fatally shot by a Pasadena police officer last year said Monday that video of the incident is evidence that the shooting was unjustified.

Around 7:52 p.m., officers stopped a four-door, dark-colored Infiniti without a front license plate. McClain was the passenger. 

When police asked the driver for his license, the driver said his license was suspended. The driver cooperated with police after being asked to get out of the car, the department said.

McClain, who was also asked to get out of the car, is seen on video getting out, then running away from the officers. There appears to be no lawful basis for the cops to detain or seize the Black man because he was the passenger in the vehicle. While a passenger may be ordered out of a vehicle for officer safety the Supreme Court has explained that unless the officer has a reasonable articulable suspicion, he may not further detain a passenger. Maryland v. Wilson, 519 U.S. 408 (1997). Cops apparently did no articulate any reason they wanted to detain McLain. The driver may have been under arrest for something but that did not provide the police any justification for detaining or arresting McClain. Flight alone is not a basis for an arrest.

Police say he reached for an item in his waistband, which they believed to be a firearm. That is bullshit unsupported by the video - watch for yourself.

“The natural swinging movement of the individual’s arms while running revealed what both officers immediately recognized as a firearm in his left hand,” according to the department.

With two officers chasing him, McClain can be seen turning [more bullshit from white journalists- watch the video yourself] and looking at the officers over his right shoulder. Police say they feared he was turning back to shoot at them, so the officer closest to McClain shot at him twice.

It wasn’t immediately clear that he had been shot, as he continued to run “for a considerable distance,” police said. He eventually fell.

Caree Harper, the McClain family’s attorney, said what police saw in the video was a large metal belt buckle, the Los Angeles Times reported.

Neither McClain nor the second officer fired a weapon. No weapon was found on McClain, but a gun was recovered across the street. Apparently no prints or DNA connect the gun to McClain’s possession. At any rate, no officer’s saw him throw a gun up in the air and across a street as he fled.

Attorneys Benjamin Crump and Caree Harper presented a video during a news conference that they say shows that as Anthony McClain lay bleeding on the sidewalk after being shot in the back by police while trying to flee, he told approaching officers “I can’t breathe.” Yet, one of them knelt on McClain’s back as he handcuffed him, Crump and Harper said.

One of the two gunshots that hit McClain traveled through his right lung before coming out of his chest, leading to fatal blood loss. McClain died a few hours later at Pasadena Huntington Memorial Hospital on Aug. 15, 2020.

Crump, a nationally renowned civil rights attorney representing some of the McClain’s family, said McClain’s shooting combines the elements of two high-profile police shootings. One was that of Jacob Blake Jr., who was shot while running from police in Wisconsin and left paralyzed; and the other was the killing of George Floyd by Minneapolis police as an officer knelt on his neck.

“Not only was Anthony McClain shot in the back like Jacob Blake Jr.,” Crump said. But in the aftermath, as officers handcuff him with his hands behind his back, they worsen his blood loss by kneeling on his back.

“You can hear him say hurry up, I cannot breathe,” Crump said of McClain. “And so you have elements of Jacob Blake Jr. and George Floyd both here in Anthony McClain’s death.”

“Go look at the video; it tells you about the mentality” of the police officers, Crump said.

Floyd was captured on video saying “I can’t breathe” in the minutes before his death, and the phrase has become synonymous with alleged police misconduct during the last year. Crump represents Blake’s family and secured a $27-million settlement for Floyd’s family.

“I am passing out,” McClain said in the video footage. “Hurry up I cannot breathe.”

The officer asks McClain how many times he was shot and he says twice.

“I don’t have a gun,” McClain tells the officers in the video.

As the officer and another officer begin to handcuff McClain, a bystander video shows an officer’s left knee or thigh over McClain’s back but does not clearly show the exact position. The officer with the body camera tells onlookers, “I have got pressure, okay,” seeking to assure those watching he is trying to stem the bleeding. The officer can be heard repeatedly assuring McClain he is trying to help him.

But Harper said the officer’s body pressure on McClain quickened his blood loss. The department, in court papers responding to the lawsuit, recently identified that officer as Officer Sereno, according to Harper.

Pasadena Police Lt. Bill Grisafe said department policy allows the use of knees to restrain a detainee.

Black Chicago Cop-Artist Acted Like He was Being Burglarized to Justify Shooting a Drunk Latino Man in the Face. Claimed a 'Burglar Pushed Door, Forced his way in.’ But Video Appears to Show Otherwise

From [HERE] After a night of heavy drinking, Jose Mendoza wandered into the common area of an apartment building to wait for a friend who had invited him to spend the night at his place.

But he ended up walking into the wrong building and was shot in the face by a nervous cop who claimed Mendoza was trying to break into his apartment.

Mendoza survived the shooting but is now partially blind. And he remains incarcerated on felony home invasion charges with no bond since the shooting last year – despite existing video evidence that supports his story over the cop’s story.

Last month, his attorney filed a lawsuit against the city of Chicago and the cop, Iwan Smith, who was “relieved of police powers” in June 2021 for unspecified reasons, according to NBC Chicago.

His attorney, Thomas Glasgow, told NBC Chicago that the Cook County District Attorney’s Office is blaming a prior DUI arrest for keeping him incarcerated with no bond or trial for his false arrest.

The incident took place on March 31, 2021 after Mendoza made earlier arrangements to spend the night at a friend’s apartment. He had worked all day, then got drunk and was still wearing his work clothes from XFiniti Digital Cable TV when he staggered into Smith’s building, thinking it was his friend’s building.

Surveillance video shows him milling around the common area for about ten minutes, including sitting on a short set of stairs. He then climbs those stairs and tries a doorknob of an apartment to the right just out of view from the camera believing it to be his friend’s.

After finding the door locked, he leans against a wall outside the apartment and squats down to continue waiting for his friend.

However, Smith was inside watching television with his girlfriend and heard somebody trying to open the door so he retrieved his service pistol from a safe in the closet and opened the front door to his apartment.

Mendoza stood up from his squatting position as soon as the door opened, expecting to see his friend, but was quickly shot in the face. He then collapsed in the doorway but Smith kicked him and he fell a few feet away.

Smith closed his apartment door and told his girlfriend to call 911 as Mendoza bled out while trying to stand but failing, slipping and falling into a growing pool of blood. At no point did Smith try to determine if Mendoza was armed nor did he ever attempt to render him aid.

Jose Mendoza is blind in one eye and remains incarcerated after mistaking a cop’s apartment for his friend’s apartment.

The cops arrive six minutes after the call and Smith greets them at the door to the building with his badge and gun but places the gun down on the floor to allow them to pick it up.

“Did he have a weapon on him,” a cop asks him.

“No, he didn’t have no weapon,” Smith responds.

Smith then proceeds to tell them a story about Mendoza trying to force his way inside his apartment.

“He knocked on my door and when I approached to open it, he pushed it in and I tried to hold it and he forced his way in.”

But the video evidence contradicting his story has been publicly available on the website of the Civilian Office of Police Accountability since November and nobody at the Cook County District Attorney’s Office seems to care.

Liberal Prosecutors Decline to Hold White Cops Accountable for Murdering Amir Locke Pursuant to the Law of the Jungle Standard. Shot to Death During a 6AM Burglary [A "Raid" when cops do it]

IS WHETHER COPS KNOCK AND ANNOUNCE THEMSELVES PRIOR TO BREAKING IN AND MURDERING FOLKS THE PROBLEM OR IS AUTHORITY, THE RIGHT TO RULE OVER PEOPLE THE PROBLEM?

Unprovoked violence against others or the use of “force” is the basis of all social evils and can only be used in the sense of attack not defense. As explained in FUNKTIONARY, “Unfortunately, governments only function by force. Once established, they put laws into effect by threatening persecution, imprisonment, fine, or death against all who don't comply with those laws--including the use of the force continuum.” [MORE]

If a “public servant," such as a police officer, is uncontrollable, unaccountable, can’t be hired or fired by you, has irresponsible power over you and provides a compulsory “service” then he is actually your Master. Lysander Spooner, stated “It is of no importance that I appointed him, and put all power in his hands. If I made him uncontrollable by me, and irresponsible to me, he is no longer my servant, agent, attorney, or representative. If I gave him absolute, irresponsible power over my property, I gave him the property. If I gave him absolute, irresponsible power over myself, I made him my master, and gave myself to him as a slave. And it is of no importance whether I called him master or servant, agent or owner. The only question is, what power did I put into his hands? Was it an absolute and irresponsible one? or a limited and responsible one?”

How did politicians and public servants acquire such powers?

Allegedly governmental power comes from the people. That is, we delegate our individual power to the government for it to act on our behalf. However, it goes without saying that people cannot delegate powers or rights that they do not possess. So if people have delegated their powers to lawmakers and lawmakers have empowered police officers to act on our behalf, how did police acquire the moral right to commit acts of unprovoked violence on people? Asked differently, if you don’t have the right to initiate unprovoked acts of violence against other people then how can you delegate or authorize police officers or anyone else acting on your behalf to do so? How did government representatives and police acquire such super-human powers?

No Cops Charged for Murdering Ryan LeRoux After Oscar Worthy BodyCam Performance by MD Police: Cop-Artists Acted Terror Struck by a Gun They Saw in Black Man's Car, Thus His Execution Was Lawful

From [HERE] Four Maryland police officers won’t be charged in the fatal shooting of a 21-year-old Black man in a McDonald’s drive-thru last summer, officials said.

The Montgomery County’s State’s Attorney’s Office announced Monday that an investigation by prosecutors in neighboring Howard County into Ryan LeRoux’s July 2021 death was complete and a grand jury found the shooting was legally justified under the circumstances, news outlets reported.

Officers were called to the McDonald’s in Gaithersburg on July 16 for a report of a person refusing to leave the drive-thru line. An officer found LeRoux reclined in the driver’s seat with headphones on and both hands on his cellphone. The officer said over the radio that he saw a gun on the front passenger seat and asked LeRoux several times to open the passenger-side door, but he did not, officials said.

Officers negotiated with LeRoux for half an hour. Then, when several officers said LeRoux pointed that gun at police, officers fired. Based on the body camera footage, prosecutors said it was not clear if LeRoux was holding a gun or a cellphone.

“He sat up, and he extended his arm in a straight, locked way towards the police, his right arm,” Howard County state’s Attorney Rich Gibson said. “We know that to be the case. The question is, what was in his hand?”

A gun and a cellphone were found in LeRoux’s lap after the shooting, prosecutors said. A crisis negotiator was on the way, but did not arrive before the shooting, prosecutors said.

LeRoux’s father, Paul LeRoux, and activists have protested, saying the situation should have been resolved without deadly force.

“Rhonda and I are deeply saddened that four Montgomery County Police Department officers met our African-American son’s cry for help with 23 shots fired. Ryan LeRoux was in the midst of a mental health crisis — not a crime. The MCPD knew that Ryan needed help — not bullets,” LeRoux said in a statement Monday.

County police said all four officers have been returned to full-time, active duty status and there will be an internal investigation.

Murder of Black Couple Lawful: LA County DA says White Cops Saw a Gun in a Car Occupied by Blacks and Cops Claimed to Be In Danger. Thus, the Blacks Were Executed Under the Law of the Jungle Standard

From [HERE] No charges will be filed against five former police officers involved in the 2016 shooting deaths of a man and a woman who were found unconscious in their car, Los Angeles County prosecutors confirmed this week. 

Marquintan Sandlin and Kisha Michael, who were Black, were killed Feb. 21, 2016, by Inglewood police officers who were responding to a call about a vehicle that was stopped in traffic lanes. 

Sandlin, who was in the driver's seat, was shot five times after police were able to wake the couple up. He died at the hospital. Michael was shot 13 times and was pronounced dead at the scene. 

Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón said in a 36-page report that an investigation found "that there is insufficient evidence to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the officers’ use of deadly force was unlawful." 

The shootings happened around 4 a.m. A man called 911 to report that two people were either asleep or unconscious in the front seats of their car. The caller also reported that the woman, later identified as Michael, had a gun on her lap, the March 31 report states. 

Responding officers placed cars in front of and behind the couple's vehicle to prevent them from leaving. A Los Angeles police helicopter assisted. 

Gascón said officers tried for over 40 minutes to wake up Sandlin and Michael. They used spotlights, light bars, sirens and an air horn and nudged the car’s back bumper with a police vehicle, but the couple did not awaken, he said. 

A sergeant then made an announcement over a speaker while instructing Michael and Sandlin not to move and to roll the windows down. After a few minutes, Sandlin began to stir. 

The report says Sandlin rolled the window down and then drove the car forward, hitting one of the patrol vehicles. He then reversed, striking another police vehicle. Sandlin is alleged to have driven the car forward again and stopped. 

Multiple officers said they saw Sandlin lean toward his right and reach toward Michael's lap, where there was a handgun, according to the report. 

An officer fired two shotgun rounds, hitting Sandlin. Michael then woke up and opened the passenger's door, the report says. Officers said they fired after they saw her reach toward her lap.

Trial Stopped for Saudi Officials Accused of Murdering Jamal Khashoggi. Case Removed to Saudia Arabia So Authorities Can Remain Immune from Accountability Under the Law of the Jungle Standard

From [HERE] An Istanbul court on Thursday halted the Turkish murder trial of Saudi security officials charged with killing journalist Jamal Khashoggi, amid efforts by Ankara to improve relations with the kingdom.

The court granted a request from prosecutors to refer the case to authorities in Saudi Arabia, where a separate trial sentenced eight lower-level officials to prison over the killing, but spared senior leaders from accountability.

The ruling closes off an important avenue for justice in the killing of Mr. Khashoggi, a Washington Post columnist and prominent critic of the Saudi government, rights advocates said. Human-rights groups had urged Turkey not to transfer the case back to Saudi Arabia, arguing that doing so would end hopes of accountability in the case and stop key evidence of the murder from becoming public.

“In the same way Saudi Arabia covered up the killing of Jamal Khashoggi, Turkey is now covering up its own investigation and its findings,” said Agnes Callamard, a former United Nations special rapporteur who investigated the killing and is now secretary-general of Amnesty International. “Let’s not forget how Jamal was killed. Let’s not forget that the Saudi authorities never revealed what they did with his body after their officials dismembered him on the floor of the Saudi consulate. Now, they will also have to deal with Turkey’s cowardice and denial of justice.”

A team of Saudi operatives killed and dismembered Mr. Khashoggi inside Saudi Arabia’s consulate in 2018 after he entered to secure documents for his coming wedding. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has said Saudi officials carried out the murder but denied personal responsibility.

Mr. Khashoggi’s fiancee, Turkish academic Hatice Cengiz, said after Thursday’s decision that she wasn’t done fighting for justice. “The courts might have decided that they can ignore the truth about his case, but I will not stop and I will not be quiet about it,” she tweeted. “We all know who is guilty of Jamal’s murder and it is now more important than ever that I keep going.”

Ms. Cengiz filed a civil action in Washington in 2020 against Prince Mohammed and other Saudis accusing him of ordering the killing. The case was brought jointly with Democracy for the Arab World Now, a U.S.-based nonprofit set up to promote human rights and the rule of law that Mr. Khashoggi founded while living in self-exile in Washington.

A Central Intelligence Agency assessment found that Prince Mohammed likely ordered the murder himself, but Saudi Arabia’s de facto leader has largely escaped punishment. Still, he has been regarded as a pariah by much of the world since the killing.

Ben Crump Doesn't Get It: the Purpose of Bodycam is to Convict Black People, Not to Prosecute Cops. MI Police Want to Keep Video of Patrick Lyoya's Deadly Arrest a Public Secret As Long They Can

Imagine if police departments across the nation sought funding for a new program described as follows: "We propose a video surveillance program targeted toward heavily patrolled low-income neighborhoods of color in ordeR to gather evidence of crimes such as drug possession, vandalism, and resisting arrest. We will primarily use this evidence to prosecute criminal cases against civilians - not police officers - withholding it from defendants to encourage pleas, and allowing access only to those who take the risk of going to trial. The public and the media wilL rarely, if ever, gain access to these videos, and we will release them at our unilateral discretion; we will, of course, own and control all the footage." If this were the avowed purpose and description of a program, few would support it. Yet this is precisely how most police body camera programs are currently run.

From [HERE ]NAACP Greater Grand Rapids Branch officials are demanding Grand Rapids police immediately release all footage surrounding the fatal shooting Monday of a 26-year-old man by a city police officer.

“The public deserves to have the footage released immediately,” Cle Jackson, president of NAACP Grand Rapids, said Wednesday, April 6.

Grand Rapids city officials previously told reporters that video of the fatal encounter between a GRPD officer and the man killed, Patrick Lyoya, was expected to be released early next week – much later than community leaders like NAACP and others want.

An immediate release of any video, city officials previously said, would go against protocols giving the officer 72 hours to give a statement.

Grand Rapids Police Chief Eric Winstrom previously said he wants to give state police, which are investigating the shooting, enough time to collect and review all video of the incident before making anything public.

The chief said he is “committed to providing information as transparently and quickly as the investigation allows.”

Jackson said Winstrom is not obligated nor required to wait for Michigan State Police to finish their investigation into the shooting before releasing any footage of the incident.

He said his organization is demanding “full transparency and cooperation” from the GRPD and other law enforcement agencies involved in the investigation into the deadly shooting.

The deadly police shooting happened around 8:10 a.m. Monday, April 4, when an officer conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle near Griggs Street SE and Nelson Avenue.

GRPD officials said Monday that what circumstances led to the traffic stop aren’t clear at this time but that the vehicle had a license plate that wasn’t registered to it.

Lyoya, who was the driver, exited the vehicle and interacted with the officer but began to flee when he learned he was about to be arrested, police said.

A fight ensued between the officer and Lyoya, and the officer fired his weapon, killing Lyoya. The chief previously said the fight is believed to have lasted around 90 seconds to two minutes.

Police identified Lyoya, who is Black, Tuesday evening. The officer who killed Lyoya has not been named, but officials said he is white and has been with the department since 2015.

The officer was placed on administrative leave pending an internal investigation. The practice is standard protocol.

It wasn’t immediately clear how much of the incident was caught on video. The officer’s body camera became dislodged and fell onto the ground during the fight. It was still operating while on the ground.

Officials have not said the extent of video captured by the dash camera on the officer’s vehicle.

“Again, we are demanding the immediate release of any body camera footage or other video surveillance tools used in this incident,” Jackson said.

How do banks create money, and why can other firms not do the same? An explanation for the coexistence of lending and deposit-taking

According to FUNKTIONARY:

“money” – the imaginary “monetized” debt as an asset without parity, being accepted as a medium of exchange by the public— (inflation per se). 2) whatever is accepted in lieu of a perceived full parity product or service during an exchange. 3) the difference between full parity and actual parity received during an exchange. 4) psychologically created entity credit — imaginary — demand — inflation — seignorage. 5) the unspoken token of submission. 6) pulses recalled, transmitted and stored in electronic ledgers. 7) a concept which only exists as a reference to the mathematical relativity of value in the mind, left over or reminiscent from a time when the word “money” referred to wealth (a commodity) used as a means of exchange. As a value reference, only exists as an acknowledged negotiated abstract accounting unit (figure) in hue-man minds, it is created there, and it is destroyed or redeemed there. 8) the abstract promise of a non-producer to perpetrate a fraud by “creating” and representing a claim on resources that do not exist and/or claims on resources that they have no lawful claim to, on, or against. 9) illusive conjecture—illegitimate and fraudulent numeric claim-tickets to wealth that are neither earned nor borrowed. 10) an ego-supplement—trickery and selfdeception made transferable (spendable). “Money bemuses. Recurrently over the centuries, men, mostly men, have supposed that they have mastered the secret of its infinite amplification. Invariably, this involves the rediscovery, perhaps in slightly novel form, of some infinitely ancient fraud.” ~G.K. Galbraith, “Money.” Money is an elastic accounting media and system by and through which free men translate their needs into the production and exchange of the goods and services they require and wishes they desire. In a BM (Bad Money) debt-based system of exchange, millions have to be left out of work and wages while in need of the very goods and services they could otherwise buy, make and freely exchange. A “BM” (debt-based) system creates an otherwise avoidable arithmetically and economically insoluble problem—usury, i.e., creating imaginary demand and ascribing it with a tangibility, measurability and false existing value conjured and sanctioned solely through the fictitious corporate twin-impostors, “government” and private central banks. Any debt-based “monetary” system will ultimately collapse. It is as mathematically irreconcilable as a “chain-letter.” Apart from its communal context solely among traders, money becomes meaningless; it sustains the illusion of portable symbolic value only as long as the social or communal bond holds. Although both “money” and “time” are conceptual abstractions (non-existents), we think more about the use of “money,” (its function, not its anatomy) which is replenishable, than we do about the use of time, which is irreplaceable. When money is literally no object to someone, it blinds him or her from seeing everyone as nothing more than mere objects. Most economists and all official monetary policies follow discredited Flat-Earth theories about money. Academic scholars, financiers and official monetary authorities are monetary Flat- Heads screwing everyone with a Phillips while using a Laffer Curve for fun and kicks. Just because it’s all in your mind doesn’t mean it’s not real. “Money” is as real as any other abstraction. Jump in, the water is fine, we’re not only losing money, but we’re also losing our minds. Let me put it to you straight—Money and State must separate!

Rotten to the Core in Liberal NYC; The NYPD are Clearing Homeless Encampments that are Filled with Mostly Black People. Strawboss Mayor Bends Over Backwards to Serve Racist, Hobophobic Dems

PHOTO IS COURTESY OF UNDECEIVER VINCENT BROWN

From [HERE] A small encampment of homeless people defiantly stood its ground against New York City police and sanitation workers before authorities moved in Wednesday afternoon to clear tents, blankets and other belongings as part of a crackdown launched by Mayor Eric Adams to rid his city of people living in the streets.

Police arrested two homeless people and several of their advocates who for hours had shielded a handful of homeless people from being removed from a street in the Lower East Side, amid the cold and rain.

As of last week, police have visited more than 250 such encampments and cleared most of them, more than half in Manhattan. The mayor’s office said it didn’t have updated statistics readily available.

“I don’t need a safe haven or a shelter. I need a home,” said a homeless woman who identified her “professional name” as Synthia Vee, hours before she was taken into custody with another homeless person. For much of the day, she and a handful of other homeless people resisted leaving their patch of Ninth Street, where they have been squatting for days.

“I have something to say to Mayor Adams. Shelters – no. Safe havens – not quite. Apartments – that’s the one,” she said. “He’s the new guy. We’ll see. He’s a Democrat, but he’s also a cop.”

A spokesperson for Adams said the mayor has sought to provide dignity to every New Yorker.

“There is no dignity in living on the street. We have been engaged at this site for weeks, and our teams then and today were respectful and made repeated offers of shelter and wraparound services to provide these individuals with clean, safe places to sleep tonight,” said the spokesman, Charles Lutvak.

Two More Black Coaches Join Brian Flores’s Racial Discrimination Suit Against the NFL. The Filing also Includes New Evidence the Miami Dolphins’ Owner Asked Him to Lose Games on Purpose

From [HERE] Two additional coaches joined Brian Flores’s racial discrimination lawsuit against the National Football League, expanding a case involving two sensitive issues—race and tanking—roiling the sport. 

Steve Wilks and Ray Horton are now part of Flores’s proposed class action lawsuit, which alleges that the league and teams discriminate against Black coaches in their pursuit of head coaching opportunities. Wilks, currently an assistant with the Carolina Panthers, was the head coach of the Arizona Cardinals for one season in 2018. Horton, a longtime defensive assistant, has never been a head coach. 

The amended suit also includes new evidence related to one of Flores’s related claims. As part of his original suit, Flores accused Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross of offering to pay him in order to lose games when Flores was the team’s coach. 

An addition to the suit now says that Flores wrote a memo in 2019 to Dolphins executives that documented Ross’s desire to lose games. The Dolphins gave that letter to the NFL weeks ago amid the NFL’s probe of the situation, a person familiar with the investigation said. 

Ross has previously said Flores’s allegations are “false, malicious and defamatory.” The NFL has said his lawsuit is meritless, although commissioner Roger Goodell has acknowledged that the league has room to improve its diversity in top posts. The league is running an investigation into Flores’s tanking allegations. 

An NFL spokesman declined further comment. 

Flores’s lawsuit, originally filed in February in the U.S. Southern District Court of New York, shined a newfound spotlight on what has long been one of the NFL’s thorniest issues. For years, the league has been criticized for its dearth of minority coaches and executives and it has made numerous attempts to spur change by changing and rewriting rules surrounding the interview and hiring process. 

Following the recent retirement of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ Bruce Arians, the ascension of Todd Bowles into the top post, there are six Black head coaches in the NFL. More than half of the league’s players are Black. 

The allegations from Flores, who was Miami’s coach from 2019 through 2021, expand beyond the Dolphins. He accused two other clubs, the New York Giants and Denver Broncos, of giving him sham interviews in order to satisfy the NFL’s Rooney Rule, which requires teams to interview minority candidates for roles such as head coach or general manager. Both teams denied the allegations and said the interviews were legitimate. 

His accusation that Ross, the Dolphins owner, offered to pay him in order to lose games in 2019—thereby tanking in order to secure a better draft pick—has drawn equal if not more attention. His lawsuit says Ross offered to pay him $100,000 per loss and that Ross was upset after Flores declined and the team won a handful of games. If the accusation proves true, it could land Ross in severe trouble with the NFL for violating the game’s competitive integrity and perhaps even legal authorities under anti-sports-bribery laws. 

Wilks was the Cardinals coach for just one season in 2018 before he was fired. He alleges that he wasn’t given a fair opportunity to coach a team that drafted a rookie quarterback, Josh Rosen, who struggled and was ultimately just used as a “bridge” coach who was meant to keep the seat warm until the team was ready to succeed. The suit contrasts Wilks’s firing with the retention of general manager Steve Keim, who is white, and was arrested for driving under the influence that year. The team suspended Keim for five games and fined him at the time. 

“The decisions we made after the 2018 season were very difficult ones,” the Cardinals said in a statement. “But as we said at the time, they were entirely driven by what was in the best interests of our organization and necessary for team improvement. We are confident that the facts reflect that and demonstrate that these allegations are untrue.”

Horton, who has been the defensive coordinator for numerous teams including the Pittsburgh Steelers and Detroit Lions, accuses the Titans of giving him an illegitimate interview, in order to satisfy the Rooney Rule or make the process appear nondiscriminatory, when the team had already settled on another candidate. A spokesman for the Titans did not immediately respond to a request for comment

Judge Tosses California Law Mandating Diversity on Boards of Public Companies. Law Required 1 board director from "minority" groups. Suit was Filed by Judicial Watch [elite white Republicans]

From [HERE] A judge struck down a California law that requires public companies based in the state to have at least one board director from underrepresented groups, a setback to efforts to mandate board diversity.

Judge Terry Green of the Superior Court of California in Los Angeles County granted on Friday a summary judgment in favor of a lawsuit challenging the law as unconstitutional. Judge Green said the law improperly mandated heterogeneous boards and must protect the right of individuals to equal treatment.

The law, enacted in 2020, required the boards of publicly traded companies based in the state to have at least one racially, ethnically or otherwise diverse director by 2021.

A lawsuit backed by Judicial Watch, a conservative foundation, said the law, known as Assembly Bill 979, violated the equal protection clause of the state’s constitution.

The board-diversity quota was the first of its kind in the U.S. and followed a similar California measure enacted in 2018 that mandated female directors on all boards of the state’s public companies. That measure is also facing legal challenges in state and federal courts.

A personal, guided tour to the best scoops and stories every day in The Wall Street Journal.

PREVIEWSUBSCRIBE

Under the board-diversity law, individuals who identify as Black, African-American, Hispanic, Latino, Asian, Pacific Islander, Native American, Native Hawaiian or Alaska Native, or who identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender, would be considered eligible for meeting the requirement.

In a statement following the judge’s decision, Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton applauded the court for upholding “the core American value of equal protection under the law.”

It wasn’t clear if the defendant in the case, the California Secretary of State’s office, would appeal the decision. The agency didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment.

The requirements are now on hold pending any potential appeals.

Esther Aguilera, president and chief executive of the Latino Corporate Directors Association, said the ruling wasn’t unexpected. “Even when the law was passed, there was always discussion that this might be the outcome. Are we surprised? No.” 

She added that her organization would continue its work on advancing Latino board membership, including reaching out directly to CEOs, board chairs and corporate secretaries. 

The killing of George Floyd in police custody in 2020 and subsequent protests prompted pledges from U.S. business leaders to fight racism and increase diversity. Since then, some states, regulators and investors have pushed for greater diversity on corporate boards. Most of these efforts have called for more disclosure and stopped short of mandates or quotas. Many of the measures have faced legal challenges.

In August 2021, the Securities and Exchange Commission approved a Nasdaq Inc. proposal to include gender and race in its listing rules. Under the Nasdaq proposal, listed companies would need to meet certain minimum targets for the gender and ethnic diversity of their boards or explain in writing why they aren’t doing so. For most U.S. Nasdaq companies, the target would be to have at least one woman director, as well as a director who self-identifies as a racial minority or as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or queer. Companies would also be required to disclose diversity statistics about their boards.

A Texas-based nonprofit has filed a federal lawsuit in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, arguing that the SEC’s approval of Nasdaq’s rule violated the Equal Protection Clause of the U.S. Constitution and federal antidiscrimination laws.

Advocates of greater board diversity say that mandates or quotas are sometimes the only way to achieve meaningful progress in improving representation among key decision makers on corporate policy. [MORE]

Senate Prepares Confirmation Vote for Lisa Cook, who would be the First Black Woman to Serve as a Federal Reserve Governor

From [HERE] The Senate voted Tuesday to advance the nomination of economist Lisa Cook for a seat on the Federal Reserve’s board, a procedural step required before the full chamber can vote on whether to confirm her for the post.

Ms. Cook, professor of international relations and economics at Michigan State University, received a tie vote in the Senate Banking Committee earlier this month, with all 12 Democrats on the panel backing her nomination and all 12 Republicans opposed.

Under Senate rules, a nominee who receives a tied vote in committee can advance to a vote in the full chamber through a motion by the majority leader. Democrats have 50-50 control of the Senate, with Vice President Kamala Harris able to break a tie.

Tuesday’s 50-49 procedural vote to advance Ms. Cook’s nomination could set up a full Senate vote later this week for her and three of President Biden’s other Fed nominees, including Fed Chairman Jerome Powell, who advanced through the banking committee earlier this month with a 23-1 vote.

The latest economic news, analysis and data curated weekdays by WSJ's Jeffrey Sparshott. 

Mr. Biden has also nominated Fed governor Lael Brainard to serve as the board’s vice chairwoman and Philip Jefferson, an economist and administrator at Davidson College in North Carolina, to serve as a Fed governor.

The confirmation process for the nominations had stalled until earlier this month, when Mr. Biden’s pick for vice chairwoman of bank supervision, Sarah Bloom Raskin, withdrew from consideration. Her nomination drew opposition from nearly all Senate Republicans and from Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia.

Ms. Cook, who would be the first Black woman to serve on the Fed’s board, has focused her research on policies that promote broad economic opportunity, particularly for racial minorities and women.

Some Republicans suggested at her Feb. 3 hearing that she lacked sufficient experience in macroeconomics in monetary policy, a claim she countered by highlighting her research experience and work at the Treasury Department and on the White House Council of Economic Advisers.

Sen. Pat Toomey (R., Pa.), in remarks on the Senate floor on Tuesday opposing the vote to advance Ms. Cook’s nomination, said her confirmation hearing last month led him to believe she would be inclined to resist tighter monetary policy to bring down inflation. “Professor Cook’s answers to basic questions about what the Fed should do to tame inflation amount to nothing more than word salad,” said Mr. Toomey.

Democrats rallied behind Ms. Cook’s candidacy on Tuesday. “I’m thrilled by this nomination,” said Senate Banking Committee Chairman Sherrod Brown (D., Ohio). “She’s seen how the economy works—and sometimes doesn’t work so well—for all kinds of different people in different parts of the country…That’s an unusual thing for a Fed governor.”

[Racists Appear Superior by Surrounding Themselves w/Mediocre Blacks] Neutral OpporTomist Ketanji Believes She Vicariously Empowers Blacks. To Dems “Blackness" Means 'Not Republican' but What Else?

The myth of white superiority is exploded in the presence of equitable social and economic opportunity. The white personality, in the presence of color, can be stabilized only by keeping Blacks and other non-whites in obviously inferior positions. Which is why racists ALSO often lower the bar to include unqualified or mediocre Blacks like Ketanji. Judge Brown has only worked as an appellate judge SINCE June 2021. She was not the most qualified Black woman, or most qualified Black person TO BE A SUPREME COURT JUSTICE, WHICH THE HIGHEST APPELLATE COURT. At any rate, to racists, all of the above are not the same person as the person who is the most qualified person. [white propaganda]. Biden never said he wanted TO SELECT the most qualified person to serve on the Supreme Court and he certainly never said the most qualified person is a Black woman, AS he and his followers (white and black) don’t believe that, SUCH IS THE NATURE OF MASTER-SERVANT RELATIONS IN A WHITE OVER BLACK SYSTEM (IT TAKES TWO FOR SAID RELATIONSHIP TO VOLUNTARILY EXIST).

According to FUNKTIONARY:

Opportomist – a straight-up opportunist who revels in his tokenhood. 2) a token hood handpicked and taken out of the ‘hood. 3) a lawn jockey. 4) a “Yes-man” for the “Other Man” in derogation of the “Brotherman.” An opportomist is an African-American nameslug who has been acculturated and culturally conditioned into self-hatred and seeks personal gain through obsequious behavior to Caucasian overlings.

From [HERE] Dabbing tears from her face on the South Lawn of the White House, Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson spoke of her personal journey to the steps of the Supreme Court, and how it dovetailed with the hopes and history of people she had come to symbolize.

“It has taken 232 years and 115 prior appointments for a Black woman to be selected to serve on the Supreme Court of the United States,” she told the crowd. “But we’ve made it. We’ve made it. All of us.”

A day after the Senate confirmed Jackson 53 to 47, the White House hosted a presidential-level victory lap, featuring tear-filled speeches from President Biden and two of the women he has held up as proof that his presidency is making America more equitable: Jackson and Vice President Harris.

“This is going to let so much sun shine on so many young women, so many young Black women, so many minorities,” said Biden, who told the crowd that nominating a Black woman to the Supreme Court was one of the first decisions he made when he decided to seek the presidency a third time. “Today is a good day, a day that history is going to remember. And in the years to come, they’re going to be proud of what we did.”

Harris, who spoke just before Biden and presided over Jackson’s Senate confirmation vote a day earlier, said she “will inspire generations of leaders. They will watch your confirmation hearings and read your decisions in the years to come.” [MORE]

NOT BLACK POWER. What did they do? This is maya, this is “black leadership” compatible with racism white supremacy. Surely there will be more confirmations of Black tokens who in no way threaten to neutralize or destroy the system of racism white supremacy.

Has Ketanji demonstrated any commitment to empowering Black people or neutralizing white supremacy? The ABA [elite whites in an overwhelming white profession] endorsed her essentially because of her neutrality to Black criminal defendants. The ABA standing committee explained that Jackson “showed no signs of bias toward criminal defendants” (who are disproportionately Black) and she definitely was not “soft on crime” (means soft on Blacks) as racist Republicans contended without any factual basis. Is it pro-Black to be neutral to Blacks in a system of injustice that has as its main goal to put more Blacks into greater confinement? Prosecutors (who are overwhelmingly white) reaped praise onto Ketanji:

 Among the prosecutors in the U.S. attorney’s office in Washington, D.C., who spoke with the committee, all rejected any claim that Jackson is “soft on crime.”

“I vehemently disagree” with the allegation, said one high-ranking prosecutor.

Another federal prosecutor who appeared before Jackson at least 10 times said there is no bias toward defendants. Such an allegation was “absolutely not borne out based on my experience with her,” the prosecutor said. Another prosecutor from the office said Jackson was regarded as “a good draw” because “she is a smart judge without any biases, which is all we’re asking for.” [MORE]

Has Ketanji articulated any constitutional or political theory concerning Black people, their so-called “rights” or Black politics in general? Does she even recognize the existence of the system of racism white supremacy? Of course not, which is why racist dems and republicans are comfortable her rolebotic neutrality. Never mind a Black philosophy, Jackson has "not yet written a body of appeals court opinions expressing a legal philosophy." [MORE]. This is a result of her judicial inexperience. Contrary to the puffery surrounding her nomination, Ketanji just started working as an appellate judge in June of 2021. [MORE] Work in trial courts has little to do with appellate issues and the work of appellate courts. Thus, her judicial views on constitutional issues or other legal issues affecting Black people are unknown, unformulated and probably unthought of. [MORE] Much was made of the fact that she worked as public defender attorney for a short while - she did her job defending people charged with crimes; but that’s not Black power - everyone is entitled to a rigorous criminal defense, ask Kyle Rittenhouse. Nevertheless, to racist Dems and their gullible Black followers “Black power” simply means “not Republican,” and/or an allegiance to an ad-hoc slate of views concerning environmentalism, gun rights, gay rights, abortion, immigration and whatever else elite white dems think of. Dems have no explanation for racism white supremacy, no nuts and bolts plan for dealing with it and the real circumstances most Black people find themselves facing on a daily basis. Dems fail to recognize that a system of racism white supremacy exists. As explained by her co-token Kamala Harris, “America is not a racist country.” Like Republicans, Dems prefer the fantasy of white supremacy and maintaining master-servant relations.

Gullible Black Dems are for too tolerant of irresponsible and unrepresentative political leaders. Would gay folks be so supportive of gay public officials neutral to gay issues? As explained by Norman Kelley, ‘the concentration of power in the hands of a few token Blacks perhaps creates charisma around them that gives some Blacks a vicarious sense of empowerment. But, characteristic and token leadership is inherently anti-democratic and incapable of creating authentic mass empowerment.’ In reality, having Black elected/selected Dems at all levels of government has had no effect on racism white supremacy. Despite all evidence to the contrary if you believe otherwise then you’ve probably lost your mind. The great rebel Dr. Amos Wilson explained,

Left leaning dependent media and racist Dems and and their gullible Black followers provide an almost uncritical and very adulatory support for Black Dem politi­cians. Dependent media lionizes Black incumbents without critical examinations of their records and supports Black candidates for political office essentially on the basis of their Blackness (generally as long as they are not Republicans). Dependent left leaning media make little or no demands on Black politicians while it constantly parades them before the Black community as role models, regardless of their success or lack of it in advancing the interests of the community. The achieve­ments of Black politicians, no matter how dubious, are often pre­sented as vicarious achievements of the Black community as a whole. Black incumbents are given ready access to left leaning dependent media outlets to massage the Black community, to maintain their public persona, and to rationalize their very frequent failures to provide the Black community with responsive and effective political leadership. Hiding the reality that their accomplishments are meager when not plainly regressive.

Doctor’s Analysis of Data Obtained on 78 Million People in the US and England Demonstrate that COVID Injections Don't Prevent COVID or its Transmission and Don't Prevent Severe Illness or Death

From [CHD] “Our vaccines are working exceptionally well,” Dr. Rochelle Walensky told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer. “They continue to work well for Delta, with regard to severe illness and death — they prevent it. But what they can’t do anymore is prevent transmission.”

Thus spoke Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Director Walensky, in an Aug. 5, 2021 interview with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer.

Walensky may have believed the vaccines prevented severe illness and death then — but she cannot possibly believe that now.

That was eight months ago. The vaccines had barely been rolled out eight months earlier.

Now we have nearly 16 months of observation and what have we found? What has Walensky’s CDC revealed that contradicts her glib patter?

While there are thousands of articles discussing COVID-19 vaccines, I have come to agree with professor Tom Jefferson that in order to arrive at the truth, all we need to look at are epidemiological data of very high quality.

In other words:

• We want raw, official data, before it has been subjected to adjustments or algorithms that “smooth” the data.

• We want large populations.

• We want the most solid endpoints, such as hospitalizations or deaths.

Over the past few days I have identified and analyzed such studies on my blog (here and here) and on Substack. The data are from official sources, published by the U.S. CDC and the UK’s Office of National Statistics.

Information on 30 million adults in California and New York, three-fourths of whom were vaccinated, were used to compare COVID hospitalization and case rates in those who were vaccinated and had no prior COVID illness, with adults who were never vaccinated but had recovered from COVID, and presumably had natural immunity.

The data were collected from June to November 2021, before the Omicron wave appeared.

The Defender reported on this data two months ago:

• Vaccinated Californians and New Yorkers were three times more likely to develop COVID than those who had prior immunity and were unvaccinated.

• Vaccinated Californians had a higher rate of hospitalizations (severe illness) than those who were unvaccinated but had prior immunity. (New York did not provide hospitalization data.)

• The vaccine failures in this huge study cannot be blamed on Omicron, because the data were collected during Delta.

The UK data from its Office of National Statistics, published March 16, extend from Jan. 1, 2021, through Jan. 31, and include both the Delta and Omicron waves.

The data have been age-standardized. The database includes 86% of all deaths in England (which has a population of 56 million) during the 13 months described.

The graphs reveal that being doubly vaccinated protected the English against death for most of 2021.

However, over last December and January (corresponding to the Omicron wave), COVID death rates in the doubly vaccinated but unboosted were higher than in those who had never been vaccinated. This was true for the population as a whole.

If you break down the deaths by age group, the vast majority of COVID deaths occurred in the over-70 population.

While deaths from COVID in younger people were trending up as the time since vaccination increased, by Jan. 31, 2022, they had not exceeded COVID deaths in the unvaccinated.

Boosters did appear to “top up” COVID immunity for a time in all age groups, reducing death rates. But one wonders how long it will take before this effect wears off?

What is the bottom line?

High-quality, official data obtained on more than 30 million American adults and 48 million residents of England incontrovertibly reveal that:

• Natural immunity was three times better at preventing cases than vaccination alone, even before Omicron.

• Natural immunity was somewhat better at preventing serious illness, measured as hospitalizations, than vaccination alone, even before Omicron.

• Boosters (a third shot) reduced the death rate in England of those vaccinated against Omicron, but the benefit was starting to drop off by January 2022.

• Overall, England’s unvaccinated population had a lower COVID death rate during the Omicron wave than the COVID death rate in its doubly vaccinated population.

• Walensky and the other so-called experts are wrong. Natural immunity provided three times more protection against infection (and therefore against transmission) than did double vaccination, even before Omicron. After Omicron, vaccine efficacy was even worse.

• While vaccination provided some protection against severe illness (measured as hospitalizations) during the Delta wave, it provided less protection than natural immunity.

• The vast majority of COVID deaths occur in those over 70. In this age group, the doubly vaccinated died from COVID at higher rates during Omicron than the unvaccinated.

UnMasked Mayor Promotes an Ongoing Grimace and More Science-Free COVID Rules: The Proxymoronic StrawBoss says NYC Won’t Rehire Unvaxxed Workers. Video Shows Him Grin and Wave as a Crowd Shouts Insults

From [HERE] New York City Mayor Eric Adams said Thursday that his administration would not rehire unvaccinated city workers.

Around 1,400 city employees were fired earlier this year for failing to comply with the city’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate.

Adams said, during a news conference at Citi Field, he did not plan to rehire them.  “Not at this time,” he said, according to The Wall Street Journal, “We are not reviewing if we are going to bring [them] back.”

He also thanked the more than 340,000 city employees who have been vaccinated, recognizing them for “[standing] up and [doing] the right thing.” [MORE VIDEO]

Adams is a Proxymoron (one moron who speaks or acts on behalf of another pluperfect moron or a whole gang of morons) and a democrat BOHICAN (Bend Over Here It Comes Again Negro). He is also the physical representation of the opposite of Black power in a city with the largest number of Black people in the country.

Official data obtained on more than 30 million American adults and 48 million residents of England incontrovertibly reveals that COVID-19 vaccines aren’t preventing COVID or its transmission, and they aren’t preventing severe illness or death. Also,

• Natural immunity was three times better at preventing cases than vaccination alone, even before Omicron.

• Natural immunity was somewhat better at preventing serious illness, measured as hospitalizations, than vaccination alone, even before Omicron.

• Boosters (a third shot) reduced the death rate in England of those vaccinated against Omicron, but the benefit was starting to drop off by January 2022.

• Overall, England’s unvaccinated population had a lower COVID death rate during the Omicron wave than the COVID death rate in its doubly vaccinated population.

• Walensky and the other so-called experts are wrong. Natural immunity provided three times more protection against infection (and therefore against transmission) than did double vaccination, even before Omicron. After Omicron, vaccine efficacy was even worse.

• While vaccination provided some protection against severe illness (measured as hospitalizations) during the Delta wave, it provided less protection than natural immunity.

• The vast majority of COVID deaths occur in those over 70. In this age group, the doubly vaccinated died from COVID at higher rates during Omicron than the unvaccinated.
