The UK Department of Health and Social Care Warns that COVID Injections are 7,402% Deadlier than All Other Vaccines Combined

From [NN] The UK Medicine and Health Care Product Regulatory Agency (MHRA) released their latest Yellow Card Report, documenting the total number of reported deaths due to covid-19 vaccination from January 21 to July 22. During this nineteen-month period, the death total for the covid-19 vaccines was compared to the average number of deaths due to all other vaccines. The data show that COVID vaccines are 7,402 percent deadlier than all other vaccines combined. Historically, the COVID vaccines have caused 5.5 times as many deaths as all other licensed vaccines COMBINED over the past TWENTY-ONE YEARS! This pharmacovigilance system is not being monitored or taken seriously at all.

The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) is an executive agency of the Department of Health and Social Care in the United Kingdom which is responsible for ensuring that medicines and medical devices work and are acceptably safe.

Freedom of Information request seeks answers from the MHRA

The MHRA did not come out and warn the public about all the injury and death that has occurred in the name of vaccination. The MHRA has been silent on the matter since the beginning of the COVID vaccine rollout. Trying not to create “vaccine-hesitancy,” the MHRA has refused to address the influx of medical issues caused by the vaccines. The MHRA has an ethical duty to stop the endless assault of spike protein bioweapons through the vaccine’s mRNA transcription process.

To address these serious issues, a man named Mr. Anderson filed a Freedom of Information request to the MHRA on August 6, 2021. The formal request asked the regulating agency to provide the total number of deaths from the covid-19 vaccines and the total number of deaths from all other vaccines prior to covid-19. The request also sought information on whether the covid-19 vaccines are still in trials, and whether or not an AI system is helping monitor the Yellow Card scheme. Finally, the request asked the MHRA “What cut off point will the MHRA say a vaccine or drug is unsafe for humans?”

MHRA reveals shocking data on COVID vaccine death statistics, but maintains that the vaccines are the “single most effective treatment”

When pressed, the MHRA confirmed that they use epidemiological studies, anonymized electronic health records from general practitioners to “proactively monitor safety alongside the spontaneous reports received via the Yellow Card scheme.”

The MHRA admitted that the Yellow Card Scheme received 404 reports of death following all available vaccines (excluding the COVID vaccines) over a time frame of 20 years and eight months. In contrast, there were a shocking 2,213 deaths in the first nineteen months of the covid vaccine rollout.

The data was also broken down per vaccine. There were 62 deaths associated with the Moderna vaccine, 808 associated with the Pfizer vaccine, and 1,294 associated with the AstraZeneca vaccine. (There were an additional 49 deaths non-specified.)

Even though the Yellow Card Scheme is exploding with safety signals and a tidal wave of adverse events, the MHRA arrogantly proclaims that the covid-19 vaccines are the “single most effective treatment for preventing serious illness due to Covid-19.”

The agency also mentioned that the covid-19 vaccines were not given full marketing authorization and are therefore temporarily authorized. In other words, the trials are currently being conducted on the population without any official proclamation. The MHRA confirmed that Pfizer/BioNTech, Oxford/AstraZeneca and Moderna vaccines were given temporary authorizations based on an expedited, rolling review. The vaccines were rolled out in the UK only because the World Health Organization and the UK government maintained “a public health emergency.”

In an official email response, the MHRA deflected Mr. Anderson’s questions about ending the covid-19 vaccine program. They stated, that the “MHRA does not hold complete information on timing of death or death statistics.” The MHRA deferred Mr. Anderson to the Office for National Statistics for further clarification. How useful is a pharmacovigilance system if its data is consistently ignored by the medical authorities? What good is a regulatory agency if government officials refuse to take responsibility for their continued dereliction of duty?

UK Children’s Gender Confusion and Annihilation Clinic Shut Down Over Safety Concerns

From [HERE] London, England. The National Health Service (NHS) has ordered a clinic for children be closed after an interim review found it was not a “safe or viable long-term option”. The Gender and Identity Development Service (GIDS), often referred to simply as the Tavistock clinic, was set up in 1989 to provide care for children under 18 who express discomfort with their sex. Controversy has surrounded the clinic for years, but escalated after whistleblowers started speaking out. In January 2021, its leadership team was disbanded after a Care Quality Commission inspection found numerous issues, including safety concerns. The public had recently learned about the clinic’s lack of record-keeping, due to legal action brought against it by a young woman who was referred to GIDS and a mother whose daughter was on its waiting list. In its ruling, the High Court agreed that “gender-affirmation” is an experimental area of medicine.

Earlier this year, Dr Hilary Cass, who is leading an independent review of puberty suppressants and cross sex hormones, published her interim report. The report highlights numerous deficiencies in the clinic’s service provision, including its “affirmation-only” approach (i.e. the idea that if children say they are the opposite sex, this must be “affirmed”, rather than finding the cause of their distress). Stonewall UK, an influential transgender charity, said it was “pleased” the NHS was seeking to address “unacceptable” waiting times. It did not address the various concerns outlined in the interim report.

'Thanks for the Vote But Keep the Change NGHR.” Despite Begging for Reform and Electing Liberal Puppeticians in the St Louis Area, Cops Keep on Killing Black People: 132 Dead Since 2009, 72% Black

From [HERE] On the night of April 24, 2013, six residents living in a neighborhood just north of downtown St. Louis say they saw the same thing.

A young Black man — 25-year-old Cary Ball Jr. — crashed his car, got out, stumbled onto another car and limped away. And then each said they saw Ball drop a gun from his hand and raise his arms to surrender.

That’s when they saw two police officers stand over Ball and shoot him repeatedly. Analysis of the evidence three years later by a Washington University professor concluded Ball was shot 25 times from within five feet range.

The police stated in their report that they feared for their lives because Ball pointed the gun at them. A police and F.B.I. investigation of the incident cleared the officers, and charges were never filed.

A year later, Michael Brown’s shooting death in Ferguson started a national movement calling for police accountability. Ball’s shooting barely registered with local or national media.

There was no blueprint for what Ball’s mother, Toni Taylor, or his younger brother, Carlos Ball, should do or who they could turn to.

“When my brother was killed, I wish it could have been an impacted family that reached back and grabbed us,” said Carlos Ball, who was 24 at the time. “But there wasn’t.”

Carlos Ball and his mother are now leaders in a group of largely grieving families who respond to officer-involved shooting scenes, called the Fatal State Violence Response Team, which was organized by the ArchCity Defenders nonprofit law firm.

At crime scenes, volunteer “crisis responders” ask the questions of witnesses and law enforcement that Ball’s family wish someone would have asked for them — including the names and badge numbers of the officers involved.

And they also try to support the families in every way they can.

“There’s no book that comes along with this fight,” Taylor said. “So what [Fatal State Violence] has done is basically provided a little structure of pamphlets and brochures to at least get the families in the right direction and be of assistance.”

The team also writes up reports and inputs information into databases that they can use for future analysis for the ArchCity’s overall Fatal State Violence project. The project’s January 2021 report found that from 2009 to 2019, at least 132 people have been killed by police in the St. Louis region.

Of those deaths, 72% of the people were Black.

The St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department was responsible for more killings per capita than any other of the 100 largest police departments in the nation. The report, citing data from mappingpoliceviolence.org, indicates St. Louis city police killed about 18 people per 1 million residents, exceeding cities like Chicago (4), Los Angeles (4.7) and Denver (7.4). [MORE]

The group uses the analysis to support their calls to action. And those calls have resulted in action by local government — including a June executive order from the mayor to end no-knock raids and legislation the mayor signed last week to create a civilian-led agency to investigate police misconduct.

No more no-knock raids . . so now cops will knock and then murder or just claim they did like with Breonna. A civilian-led agency to investigate police misconduct? Nevertheless, citizens; have no power to hire or fire officers, are legally and morally obligated to obey all police commands, cannot decline their public service or resist even an unlawful arrest and have no power to control police authority, which is absolute on the street.

The statist, liberal who wrote this article for NPR goes on about reforms, missing the point, talking about “change is coming.” [MORE] Naturally, the answer from white liberals to all this “black lives” trouble is to vote for Democrats. It’s like a psy-op. The Democratic Party has dominated St. Louis city politics for decades. The city has not had a Republican mayor since 1949 and the last time a Republican was elected to another citywide office was in the 1970s. As of 2022, all 28 of the city's Aldermen are Democrats. With 2 exceptions it has been this way since 1981. [MORE]

At the federal level, in Missouri's 1st congressional district, a Republican has not represented a significant portion of St. Louis in the U.S. House since 1953. [MORE] Blacks make up 43% of St. Louis and 70% of Ferguson and the Black votary has undoubtedly helped Dems dominate St. Louis. Obviously, this has not translated into Black power or much of anything but continued powerlessness in a system of racism white supremacy and authority.

Change is always coming and will always be in the future for slaves or Black voters waiting for their masters to free them! FUNKTIONARY explains,

reform – superficial change in form and formalities (fictitious change) which only further lubricates the status quo by renovating and painting old society in new colors. 2) appearance of change sans the change. Reform is always in the service of the status quo and the politician: it serves the privilege of the past not the promise of the future. Reform creates hypocrisy as a matter of course. Reform is the first stage in the three “R’s” in hue-man evolution; the other two being revolution and rebellion. There are two basic types of reformists: those who are preparing the ground for Third Eye revolution and those who are trying to prevent the conscious revolution. (See: Revolution, Status Quo, Meme & Change)

reformers – naïve politicians. They came to do good and stayed to do well. Reformers themselves get reformed into the structure, consciousness and content of the dominant exploitative system—and thus become the system. (See: Revolution)

Statism – the belief “citizens” and “states” exist and the memetic thought patterns supporting such beliefs. 2) the religion of oppression and domination coupled with the science of exploitation and sociopathic control. 3) the opiate of the so-called Elites. 4) a philosophy that idealizes majority rule gang force (authority) over individual authenticity (autonomy). 5) servitude over liberty and statutes over humanity. So long as “states” are viewed and accepted as natural, normal, reality-based and inevitable, they will continue to violently abstract humans into extinction. Statism is mind control; people both unwillingly and willingly surrender their property (labor being one’s most inviolable property) to men and women pretending to be “governors,” “commissioners,” and “presidents” etc. because they believe they are “citizens” of a so-called “state” and must pay their proverbial “fair share” to support such abstractions or fictions of law.

voting booth – the PIT—a place where one takes a Political Ineptitude Test. Haven’t you heard or come to realize that secret ballots beget secret “government.” Until they pay you for your vote, you will pay for (casting) your vote. “I shall not go the polls. I have not registered. I believe that democracy has so far disappeared in the United States that no ‘two evils’ exist. There is but one evil party with two names, and it will be elected despite all I can say or do.” ~W.E.B. DuBois, 1956.

voting hoax – “Help Slave America.” “We would do well to remember that voting is often a way not of consenting to something, but only of expressing a preference. If the state gives a group of condemned prisoners the choice of being executed by firing squad or by lethal injection, and all of them vote for firing squad, we cannot conclude from this that the prisoners thereby consent to being executed by firing squad. They do, of course, choose this option; they approve of it, but only in the sense that they prefer it to the other option. They consent to neither option, despising both. Voting for a candidate in a democratic election sometimes has a depressingly similar structure. The state offers you a choice among candidates (or perhaps it is “the people” who make the offer), and you choose one, hoping to make the best of a bad situation. You thereby express a preference, approve of that candidate (over the others), but consent to the authority of no one.” ~A. John Simmons. “It’s not who vote that counts—it’s who counts the votes!” ~J. Stalin. (See: Taxtortion, Freedom Iron Rule, Political Power, Technology, Ph.F. Degree, NOW, Golden Rule, Property, The Matrix, MEDIA & Elections)

voting power – an oxymoron. 2) a transitory form of illusory power. 3) the appearance of power without the juice.

As Crime Rates Drop Nationwide (Shootings and Murders are Down According to NYT/FBI) Racists Scramble to Find Another Way to Propagandize and Justify Treating Law Abiding Black People Like Criminals

According to the NYT, Nationwide, shootings are down 4 percent this year compared to the same time last year. In big cities, murders are down 3 percent. If the decrease in murders continues for the rest of 2022, it will be the first year since 2018 in which they fell in the U.S.

The declines are small. But they are welcome news after two years of large increases left the murder rate nearly 40 percent higher than it had been.

When the media reports on crime, it almost always focuses on grim stories. A recent analysis by Bloomberg found that headlines about shootings in New York City recently increased while the actual number of shootings remained relatively flat.

Americans consistently say crime is getting worse when it is not. Between the 1990s and 2014, crime — including violent crime and murders — fell more than 50 percent across the U.S. Yet for most of that time, a majority of Americans told Gallup that crime was up compared to the year before.

The bad news bias potentially leaves Americans more scared for their safety than they should be. It also may drive more people to believe that punitive criminal justice policies are needed, or that reforms are increasing crime when they are not. In a speech last month, for example, Donald Trump recounted several recent murders in grisly detail and called for “tough,” “nasty” and “mean” anti-crime policies. [MORE]

The racist suspects at NYT report that “Crime, murder and mass shootings have dominated headlines this year.” They do every year regardless of the crime rate and the NYT is very much a part of it. The Sentencing Project found that ‘Dependent media outlets reinforce the public’s racial misconceptions about crime by presenting African Americans and Latinos differently than whites – both quantitatively and qualitatively. Television news programs and newspapers over-represent racial minorities as crime suspects and whites as crime victims. Black and Latino suspects are also more likely than whites to be presented in a non-individualized and threatening way – unnamed and in police custody.’ FUNKTIONARY states:

Black-on-Black Crime – a psycho-political euphemism, unwittingly used and abused by African-Americans and deliberately by Caucasians, describing demographic criminal activity in general, as people overwhelmingly commit violent crimes on people who live in closest proximity to them, and the violence mostly occurs by those and on those who are held hostage under chronic and cyclical economically disadvantaged circumstances and environments. Do you ever hear of the slogan “White-on-White” crime? Most violent crimes (at least by number, if not also by percentage of population) take place by Caucasians against Caucasians. Where’s the associated terminology? The pathological criminality within Black neighborhoods is maintained by the ones “keepin’ it real”—that is, real quick to murder people who look like themselves. (See: Gangbanking, Pan-Africanism & Racism)

crime – as we are programmed to perceive it involves drugs, theft, murder, etc., most of which is an outward expression or release of energy by the victims from the circumstances conjured up by Doggy and the criminals which make up the majority of what passes as criminality, but in reality, the victimization of the masses by the means in which they are left to live by. Crime is so-called “government’s” biggest industry, followed closely by propaganda. Corporate State derives revenue on both sides of the law (licenses and fees) so you can avoid having to pay (penalties, violations, fees, citations, peonage, and jail time) for “breaking” the law (i.e., Roman civil law). (See: Corporate State, “Government” & Servitude)

Racists are obsessed with crime statistics in Black communities. According to the Sentencing Project, “Researchers have shown that crime reporting exaggerates crime rates and exhibits both quantitative and qualitative racial biases. This includes a tendency . . to exaggerate rates of black offending and white victimization and to depict black suspects in a less favorable light than whites.“Under the pretense of being concerned about the well-being of Black people, the liberal white media in urban areas in particular, sensationalize crime with overblown coverage and hyper alertness. To be explicitly clear, it is a guise because we live in a system of racism/white supremacy in which most white people (or the most powerful white people) seek to dominate or control non-white people with master-servant relations in all areas of people activity and who project and maintain unequal power and conditions in a white over Black system. Racists, either self-described as liberal or conservative, have no intention of changing this arrangement because they are the permanent enemy of non-white people. White liberals and conservatives spare no cost when it comes to placing Black people in greater confinement. Dr. Amos Wilson states,

"Given the historical and contemporary virulence of White racism in America and the injustice toward Blacks that such racism engenders, the number of arrests, incarcerations, and in many instances, convictions of Black males should be viewed with a jaundiced eye. The willingness of White Americans to heavily tax themselves in order to finance accelerated and increased prison construction, rapidly expanding police forces and so-called criminal justice system personnel, burgeoning private police and security establishments; their willingness to finance the incarcera­tion of a Black male prisoner upwards of $30,000 to $40,000 per year, in sharp contrast to their unwillingness to tax themselves to provide for the appropriate funding of the education of Black children and to commit themselves to the ending of racist employment practices; to provide adequate housing medical care, food and clothing; clearly implies that alleged Black male criminality plays a very important role in defining the collective White American ego and personality.”

Liberal white media (also) engage in daily “white propganda,” which FUNKTIONARY explains “is a game two can play—which consists simply in repeating “I am better than you” and “you are utterly unlike (opposite to) me” over and over again; despite the historical record to the contrary,” is aimed at satisfying the imaginative appetite of the neuropean viewing audience. It feeds them with crime data to help otherize Blacks and support a posture already taken and projected; as these white simpletons believe crime stats are proof of the fantastic myth that Blacks are inherently criminal. Based on this unstated belief, white liberals go on using crime to justify treating Black people criminally in liberal cities, freely imposing punitive policies and socially distancing themselves from Blacks.

It should go without saying but White republican prosecutors and judges aren’t filling the jails with Black people in diverse, liberal cities like Washington D.C., NYC or Chicago. If you don’t believe it put down your phone and go watch the arraignments in your local criminal court run by white liberals. While you’re there please count the number of white defendants you see. Elite white liberals control the material resources, media, government, utilities, property, commerce etc. in liberal cities. White liberal puppeticians, prosecutors, administrators and judges (along with their Black servant rolebots) use their authority to place Black and Latino people into greater confinement in places like Chicago. The real life arrangement in which nearly all arrests and criminal defendants are of Black people and all the persons doing the prosecuting and adjudicating are nearly all white, (perhaps considered disproportionate and protested to an extent by conscious liberals, always looking to reform) is tolerated in white liberal cities and considered a natural arrangement or outcome that occurs spontaneously, every day, decade after decade. Here, it also should go without saying that race is not real (racism is). [MORE]

But as demonstrated by white liberals during the COVID episode, who needs “science” and reality when you have dogma, fear, superstition, belief, stupidity and emotion, all of which are the substance of the granfalloon of racism/white supremacy? Neuropeans who imagine Black people to be inherently criminal can rationalize that it makes sense to stalk, stop, search, seize and fill the jails with them. Upon such human hierarchy clogic; Blacks naturally fall into inferior or servant positions and conversely whites necessarily maintain their master roles. As such, along with their conservative counterparts, white liberals use “black criminality” to simultaneously empower themselves.

Dr. Amos Wilson explains that “Black-on-Black criminality and violence play a crucial role in maintaining White American power in all of its manifestations.” Unlike many republicans who are overtly racist, “The bane of the African community is the exploitative White American community which projects a so-called civilized, fraternal, egalitarian, liberal face while concurrently seeking to maintain White supremacy.” White liberal crime coverage functions as propagenda in support this hypocrisy. Wilson further explains, "Alleged Black criminality, while evoking White American fear and loathing, reassures them of their vaunted self-worth, their assumed innately superior moral standing, of their self-congratulatory self-constraint in contrast with presumed Black American unworthiness, innate inferior moral standing, inherent criminality, lack of self-constraint and self-control.” “Black criminals function as a negative reference group vital to maintaining the White American self-image. The Black criminal is used to support the White American community's self-serving, self-justifying judgments of itself. White America's preoccupation with Black criminality betrays its own need for reassurance; betrays its own basic insecurity regarding its projected moral purity. Consequently, the higher the incidence of reported Black criminality, the more exceptionally righteous White America feels itself to be. The more righteous it feels itself to be the more intensely and guiltlessly it promulgates and justifies its domination and exploitation of African peoples at home and abroad.” [MORE]

Do Racists Want Peace btw Gangs? Lil Doc of East Coast Crips Gets 35 Yrs for Role in 2014 Murder. Indicted After Brokering Truce w/Bloods and Florencia 13. Prosecutors Call Peace Efforts "Lip Service"

DID U KNOW THE WORLD IS OVER 90% NON-WHITE?? THE COLOR CONFRONTATION THEORY EXPLAINS THAT RACISTS GO THROUGH GREAT EFFORT “TO DIVIDE THE VAST MAJORITY OF NON-WHITES INTO FRACTIONAL, AS WELL AS FRICTIONAL, MINORITIES. THIS IS VIEWED AS A FUNDA­MENTAL BEHAVIORAL RESPONSE OF WHITES TO THEIR OWN MINORITY STATUS. THE WHITE "RACE" HAS STRUCTURED AND MANIPULATED THEIR OWN THOUGHT PROCESSES AND CONCEPTUAL PATTERNS, AS WELL AS THOSE OF THE ENTIRE NON-WHITE WORLD MAJORITY, SO THAT THE REAL NUMERICAL MINORITY (WHITES) ILLUSIONALLY FEELS AND REPRESENTS ITSELF AS THE WORLD'S MAJORITY, WHILE THE TRUE NUMERICAL MAJORITY (NON-WHITES) ILLUSIONALLY FEELS AND VIEWS ITSELF AS THE MINORITY. INTEREST­INGLY, THE WHITE COLLECTIVE, WHENEVER DISCUSSING THE QUESTION OF COLOR, NEVER DISCUSSES ANY OF ITS OWN PARTICULAR ETHNIC GROUPS AS MINORITIES, BUT CONSTANTLY FOCUSES ON THE VARIOUS ETHNIC, LANGUAGE AND RELIGIOUS GROUPS OF NON-WHITE PEOPLES AS MINORITIES. THEN GREAT EFFORTS ARE MADE TO INITIATE CONFLICT BETWEEN THESE ARBITRARY GROUPS. THIS IS ONE OF THE KEY METHODS BY WHICH A MINORITY CAN REMAIN IN POWER. THE "DIVIDE, FRICTIONALIZE AND CONQUER" PATTERN, OBSERVABLE THROUGHOUT HISTORY WHEREVER NON-WHITES ARE CONFRONTED BY WHITES, RESULTS PRIMARILY FROM WHITES' SENSE OF COLOR DEFICIENCY AND SECONDARILY FROM THEIR SENSE OF NUMERICAL INADEQUACY. THIS PATTERN, THEN, IS A COMPENSATORY ADJUSTMENT TO PERMIT PSYCHOLOGICAL COMFORT THROUGH DOMINANCE AND CONTROL.”

From [HERE] A judge sentenced South Los Angeles gang leader-turned-peacemaker Paul "Lil Doc" Wallace to 35 years in federal prison for his role in a 2014 murder.

The government has called Wallace the "boss of bosses," a senior leader for roughly 30 years of the East Coast Crips, a "violent street gang that claimed a large portion of South Los Angeles." In April, a federal jury in Downtown LA found Wallace guilty of murder and racketeering, while clearing him of a different murder in 2003. 

Wallace was known in the community for playing a key role in brokering a truce between the East Coast Crips and Florencia 13, a neighboring Latino street gang, after a 20-year war. His defense team cited "his important gang peacekeeping efforts," as well as the fact that Wallace has been shot three different times (with a total of nine bullets), in asking for a mitigated sentence. 

"I'm not here to talk about who Paul was before," Skipp Townsend, a well-known gang expert and gang interventionist, told the court on Friday. "I saw him do God's work."

But prosecutors who asked that Wallace be given a life sentence, pointed out that Wallace had made the same argument in 2018 before being sentenced for a gun charge. Then, he claimed he was " trying to lead the youth down a right path and teaching the youngsters to take care of their kids, mothers turn from drugs, you know, just leave the gang life alone.”

In their sentencing memo, prosecutors called these earlier claims of reformation "lip-service," and wrote that Wallace had "spent a great deal of his time in custody before sentencing in 2018 managing the affairs of the East Coast Crips, orchestrating extortion, and facilitating witness intimidation against perceived cooperating witnesses."

"Are you saying the efforts to make peace didn't exist?" Judge Andre Birotte (who also sentenced Wallace in 2018) asked Assistant U.S. Attorney Jeff Chemerinsky.

Chemerinsky said they did exist, but believed that Wallace was still capable of "horrible acts in the future." He said that Wallace had been implicated — although not charged — in a jailhouse stabbing in May 2021. 

"Arguments that he's been reformed are negated by the stabbing," said Chemerinsky. 

Wallace was convicted of murder for his role in the killing of Reginald Brown, a member of the the Hoovers, a rival gang. Wallace was said to have driven the shooter to Brown's home in his White Escalade; the AK-47 used in the killing was later found in a minivan being rented by Wallace. The government's case rested on the testimony of three cooperating witnesses, all East Coast Crips members who said that Wallace had bragged about the murder while in custody with them.

Brown's surviving wife, daughter and brother all spoke in support of giving Wallace a life sentence. 

Judge Birotte appeared torn on how severe a sentence to hand down.

"These kinds of cases are challenging," he said. "It seems as if Mr. Wallace was trying to do something different." But, the judge added, "the "long trail of destruction" left behind by Wallace "caught up to him in the end." 

"I'm not of the view that a life sentence is appropriate, but a significant sentence is," Birotte said. He sentenced Wallace to 25 years in federal prison for the murder, in addition to the mandatory minimum 10 years for the racketeering charge. Upon his release, he will have to serve 5 years probation.

About two dozen people showed up in court to support Wallace, including his wife, two daughters and various community members. After the sentencing, one of them said, "Anything is better than life."

Janine Webster, who was married to Reginald Brown, had a different reaction. 

"It wasn't what I wanted," she said. 

Before the sentencing, Wallace's lawyers asked the judge for a new trial. 

"This is a case based on circumstantial evidence," said his attorney Amy Jacks. That evidence, she said, was insufficient to establish guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. 

The judge denied the motion, saying, "I'm not inclined to take away the jury's verdict. It will be left up to the Ninth Circuit to decide," referring to the court of appeals. Later in the hearing, Jacks said that Wallace would be appealing the verdict.

"No Deaths Can be Said to Have Been Averted Due to Vaccination." According to a Study of Data from All States in All Age Groups, COVID Injections Had No Impact on Reducing Deaths from COVID

COVID-Period Mass Vaccination Campaign and Public Health Disaster in the USA. From age/state-resolved all-cause mortality by time, age-resolved vaccine delivery by time, and socio-geo-economic data

By Denis G. Rancourt PhD, Marine Baudin, PhD, Jérémie Mercier, PhD

ABSTRACT

From [HERE] and [HERE] All-cause mortality by time is the most reliable data for detecting and epidemiologically characterizing events causing death, and for gauging the population-level impact of any surge or collapse in deaths from any cause. Such data is not susceptible to reporting bias or to any bias in attributing causes of death. We compare USA all-cause mortality by time (month, week), by age group and by state to number of vaccinated individuals by time (week), by injection sequence, by age group and by state, using consolidated data up to week-5 of 2022 (week ending on February 5, 2022), in order to detect temporal associations, which would imply beneficial or deleterious effects from the vaccination campaign. We also quantify total excess all-cause mortality (relative to historic trends) for the entire covid period (WHO 11 March 2020 announcement of a pandemic through week-5 of 2022, corresponding to a total of 100 weeks), for the covid period prior to the bulk of vaccine delivery (first 50 weeks of the defined 100-week covid period), and for the covid period when the bulk of vaccine delivery is accomplished (last 50 weeks of the defined 100-week covid period); by age group and by state.

We find that the COVID-19 vaccination campaign did not reduce all-cause mortality during the covid period. No deaths, within the resolution of all-cause mortality, can be said to have been averted due to vaccination in the USA. The mass vaccination campaign was not justified in terms of reducing excess all-cause mortality. The large excess mortality of the covid period, far above the historic trend, was maintained throughout the entire covid period irrespective of the unprecedented vaccination campaign, and is very strongly correlated (r = +0.86) to poverty, by state; in fact, proportional to poverty. It is also correlated to several other socio-economic and health factors, by state, but not correlated to population fractions (65+, 75+, 85+ years) of elderly state residents.

The excess all-cause mortality by age group (also expressed as percentage of pre- covid-period all-cause mortality for the age group) for the whole USA for the entire covid period through week-5 of 2022 is:

The corresponding fatality risk ratios are relatively uniform with age (non-exponential and non-near-exponential with age; and even skewed towards young adults), which holds essentially for all states, and for all examined periods within the covid period. This fundamental result implies that a dominant cause of excess mortality could not have been assigned COVID-19, which consistently has been measured to have a strong near-exponential infection fatality ratio with age. The implication is further corroborated by the absence of correlation between all-age-group-integrated excess mortality and age, by state. COVID-19 was not a dominant cause of excess mortality during the covid period in the USA

All of our observations can be coherently understood if we interpret that the covid-period socio-economic, regulatory and institutional conditions induced chronic stress and social isolation among members of large vulnerable groups (individuals afflicted and co- afflicted by poverty, obesity, diabetes, high susceptibility to bacterial respiratory infection [inferred from pre-covid-period antibiotic prescription rates], old age, societal exclusion, unemployment, drug and substance abuse, and mental disability or serious mental illness), which in turn caused many of these individuals to be more and fatally immunocompromised, allowing them to succumb to bacterial pneumonia, at a time when a documented national pneumonia epidemic raged and antibiotic prescriptions were systemically reduced; in addition to possible comorbidity from COVID-19 vaccine challenge against individuals thus made immunocompromised, under broad and hastily implemented “vaccine equity” programs.

'Yes, Whatever You Say Master.' Obedience and Citizen Compliance with Trivial Demands: A Masktard Compilation Covering the Past 2 Years

According to FUNKTIONARY:

citizens – those who instinctively seek permission or ask themselves whether or not they are allowed to do anything before they act. Citizens (serfs, subjects or slaves), possess a “ruled” mind-virus mentality. 2) the hapless residents of the great democracy whose Constitution deliberately throttled democratic rule. (See: Citizenship, Plutocracy & Slavery)

obedience – a Self-Other irreversible relationship in which there is only communication (mind-to-mind), i.e. no contact, and an imbalance of power. 2) the highest form of the power-fear systemic. 3) slavery sold to both children and adults alike deceptively packaged in a respectfully sounding label. 4) reverse terrorism. You can compel obedience but you cannot compel responsibility or respect. Everyone should have a say in waking-up to (or waking up from) whatever they have been programmed to obey. It is difficult to reduce to obedience anyone who has no wish to command. If you can’t read very well and follow it up with the absence of critical thinking skills, then obey your masters and oppressors until you can—for your own survival. Life is more trouble-free when you obey. If you speak TV-English, by all means obey the beast, if you like freedom of movement with your slavery. TV’s ought to have warning labels: “Use of this device can be hazardous to your freedom.” How can you take a man seriously who watches T.V. obediently, drinks habitually and desires freedom too? The historian Howard Zinn is clear on the role obedience has played on our conditions throughout the centuries. “[Civil disobedienc] is not our problem. Our problem is civil obedience. Our problem is that numbers of people all over the world have obeyed the dictates of the leaders of their government and have gone to war, and millions of people have been killed because of this obedience. …Our problem is that people are obedient all over the world in the face of poverty and starvation and stupidity, and war and cruelty. Our problem is people are obedient while the jails are full with petty thieves, and all the while the grand thieves are running the country. That’s our problem.” More atrocities are commited in the name of economics than in the name of hate, ideological or religious intolerance.

disobedience – thinking for oneself—deciding for oneself what to do and not to do. 2) the refusal of services of those in power—to deny their alleged authority over you. The Beast allows you to be disobedient or ignorant but not both. Disobedience is the only crime—all others are offshoots. (See: Prometheus, Rights, Thinking, Thought & Rebel)

disobedient – master over one’s thoughts and acting on same relative to the dominating recidivism of authoritarian culture.

While Corpse Biden Fights for the Power to Reinstate His Moronic Mask Mandate Whenever He Wants, a Group of Physicians and Surgeons Argue Mask Mandates Violate Freedom of Speech and Freedom of Travel

From [HERE] The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS) filed its amicus brief with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit on Friday against the Biden Administration’s mask mandate on airplanes and other public transportation. The court is hearing Biden’s appeal from the April federal district court decision that invalidated his mask mandate.

“Mask mandates are tyrannical, and Congress never authorized the CDC to require travelers to wear masks,” stated Andrew Schlafly, General Counsel of AAPS. “Mask mandates infringe on two fundamental rights: freedom of speech and freedom of travel,” he argued in AAPS’s amicus brief.

The Biden Administration did not attempt to reinstate its mask mandate for travelers after it was blocked by a federal judge, amid widespread public opposition to the mandate. But Biden appealed to the 11th Circuit to seek authority to reinstate the mask mandate at any time, Mr. Schlafly explains.

Neither the government nor the parties filing briefs supporting it demonstrate effectiveness to Biden’s mask mandate, Mr. Schlafly argued in the brief. He cited multiple recent articles admitting to the ineffectiveness of mask mandates in different regions of our country.

According to their court brief;

Mask mandates infringe on two fundamental rights: freedom of speech and freedom of travel. The ability to see another’s demeanor while he is speaking is often as important as the content of what he says. Historically many American states and towns prohibited the wearing of masks, in order to avoid the harm they cause. See, e.g., N.Y. Penal Law § 240.35(4) (predecessor enacted in 1845, then reenacted in 1965, and then repealed amid Covid-19 in 2020). Determinations of credibility essential to courtroom trials are just as important in everyday life, as millions of decisions are made daily, based on not merely what one says, but on how he is perceived as saying it.

Whether and how government may impose a mask mandate on travelers is a substantial issue involving a major question, and the recent adoption by the Supreme Court of “major questions doctrine” requires affirming the decision below. On June 30, 2022, after Appellants filed their opening brief, the Supreme Court issued its ruling in the consolidated case of West Virginia v. EPA, 142 S. Ct. 2587 (2022), and expressly embraced major questions doctrine for the first time. It requires invalidating agency decision-making on major questions in the absence of express congressional authorization. Such is the case here.

Mask mandates are more politics than science, and politics is to be sorted out in the halls of Congress rather than at a politically unaccountable administrative agency. Congress uses a time-proven process that includes public hearings, feedback by constituents, vigorous public debate, and political accountability. All of these elements are essential before a burden as draconian as a traveler mask mandate is imposed, and yet none of this exists for agency decision-making by the CDC. The Constitution protects against government controlling what people say, and likewise protects against government controlling how people look when they say it. What is said with a slight smile can often mean something entirely different from what is said with clenched teeth. The CDC incorrectly insists that it should have immense unchecked power to decide what to allow on this, without any express congressional authorization.

As further explained by Justice Neil Gorsuch in his concurrence in West Virginia v. EPA, “major questions doctrine” is not new. Courts have rejected many prior agency attempts to grab breathtaking authority never authorized by Congress, as the CDC attempts here. Nothing in the relevant statute or its prior implementations remotely support the mandate that all travelers wear masks, let alone require ineffective mask-wearing. As a “major question” this is one for Congress to decide as part of the political process, not for agency employees to impose without hearings and meaningful public debate.

The amicus brief submitted by the AMA fails to cite or address a single legal authority. The amicus brief submitted by the Public Health amici cites only four legal precedents other than the decision below, one of which is a 1925 Georgia Supreme Court decision concerning the meaning of the word “sanitation”, along with numerous citations to various dictionaries. All the amici in support of the government fail to address major questions doctrine and the long line of Supreme Court precedents that led to its formal adoption in West Virginia v. EPA.

Just as glaring is the failure by the government’s amici to provide any justification for the travelers’ mask mandate. Mask mandates failed to work during the 1918 flu pandemic, and yet the briefs submitted by the government’s amici cite their unsuccessful use then as a reason to mandate them again. The medical briefs could have cast some scientific light on the matter at hand, but there is no science in support of requiring intermittent use of porous masks by travelers. In the briefing by the government amici, only one paragraph in each of their briefs even alludes to any general scientific support for a travelers’ mask mandate, and those allusions do not survive scrutiny.

Finally, with respect to the nationwide relief, it is necessary because travel is not an isolated activity. People travel with friends and family, and it would be senseless to hold that merely one within such a group is free of an unauthorized mandate, while the others within the group must still comply with what is unauthorized. The nationwide scope of the relief below was proper. [MORE]

Naomi Wolf Says Emails Prove the CDC Consider People Criminals If They Raise Questions about the Safety of COVID Injections. Government Colluded w/Big Tech to Conceal Dangers of Deadly Shots

From [HERE] On May 10, 2021, Carol Crawford from the CDC press office sent an email stating the CDC’s intention to “establish COVID BOLO meetings on “misinformation’ and invite all Big Tech platforms to join the meetings.” Six days later, Ms. Crawford emailed Todd O’Boyle at Twitter asking him to participate in these “ BOLO Meetings” and gave him examples of tweets from misinformers from whom she was telling O’Boyle to censor on behalf of the CDC.

 Journalist and best-selling author Naomi Wolf was targeted as one of these so called  “misinformers a screen grab of a  tweet/thread of hers was used as an example in the BOLO Meetings emails that went out.

Dr. Naomi Wolf was permanently banned from Twitter days later.

 BOLO is a law enforcement term for “be on the lookout” for criminal suspects. Clear evidence that the CDC considers American journalists criminals if they raise questions about the safety and effectiveness of the COVID-19 injections.

Dr. Wolf stated:

“This morning I learned that our federal government violated the 1st Amendment to the U.S. Constitution by directing Big Tech to censor and deplatform me as a citizen and journalist in their desperate attempt to control the COVID vaccine narrative on behalf of their Big Pharma donors. So much for the big lie that “social media companies are private companies not bound by the First Amendment.”

The unavoidable truth is that social media companies are simply cut-outs for Washington D.C. big government bureaucrats, and I intend to pursue all legal remedies available to me to ensure this federal government abuse of American’s scared freedoms and Constitutional Rights is halted and all Government officials, involved are held to account, which may well include personal civil liability.” [MORE]

President of Costa Rica Drops COVID Injection Mandate and Mask Mandate

From [DAVIDICKE] On Wednesday, the new President of Costa Rica, Rodrigo Chaves, and the Minister of Health, Jocelyn Chacón, confirmed that the vaccine against covid-19 will not be mandatory in Costa Rica.

Chaves had promised that when his term began on 8 May he would end the mandatory Covid injection policy. In his first decree after taking office, Chaves dropped his country’s mask mandate and the requirement that public employees get vaccinated.

In November 2021, Costa Rica became the first country in the world to announce it would make Covid injections mandatory for children. Costa Rica has long mandated vaccines, and such requirements are supported by the country’s laws. However, three months after the announcement, Costa Ricans were still bitterly divided over mandatory Covid injections for children.

“Today [3 August] vaccines are no longer mandatory and any action against someone who does not want to be vaccinated is a violation of the law,” the president emphasised.

The announcement came after almost 93% of Costa Ricans had their first dose, 87% had a second, 51% a third and 10% a fourth dose, according to the Caja Costarricense de Seguro Social – the Costa Rican Social Security Fund which is in charge of most of the nation’s public health sector.

As well as the immediate end to compulsory vaccination Chaves said that there will be an investigation into the contracts signed by the previous government as he believes excessive amounts of doses were purchased.

Japanese Surgeon Calls for Suspension of COVID Boosters

From [JOEL SMALLEY] In a letter to the peer-reviewed journal Virology, a Japanese cardiovascular surgeon, Dr. Kenji Yamamoto, has called for the discontinuation of COVID-19 booster shots. “As a safety measure, further booster vaccinations should be discontinued,” Yamamoto wrote. Among his urgent concerns are the fact that the COVID-19 vaccines have been linked to vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia, which, in some cases, has been lethal to patients.

[…]

It is rare for a cardiac surgeon to get involved in government vaccination policy. It is even rarer for a practicing medical doctor to express an opinion like this that flies in the face of the medical status quo in a prestigious medical journal, and for the medical journal itself to publish the opinion.

South Carolina "Whichcraft" Law Challenged: Court Hears Expert Evidence On Execution Law that Forces People to Choose between Authorities Murdering Them by Electrocution or Firing Squad

From [EJI] A Richland County court heard expert evidence last week in a lawsuit challenging a law that forces people facing execution to choose between electrocution and firing squad. 

The plaintiffs—four people sentenced to death in South Carolina—argue that both methods violate South Carolina’s constitutional prohibition against cruel, corporal, or unusual punishments. 

“The electric chair and the firing squad are antiquated, barbaric methods of execution that virtually all American jurisdictions have left behind,” the plaintiffs alleged in their lawsuit.

In 2021, South Carolina passed a new law providing that, if the department of corrections determines that lethal injection is not available, the person will be electrocuted in South Carolina’s 110-year-old electric chair unless they elect death by firing squad. The person is required to make that election in writing before the execution date.

Richard Moore was scheduled to be executed on April 29, 2022. South Carolina corrections officials said they could not obtain lethal injection drugs, which forced Mr. Moore to elect death by firing squad to avoid the electric chair.

“I believe this election is forcing me to choose between two unconstitutional methods of execution,” Mr. Moore said in a written statement on April 15, “and I do not intend to waive any challenges to electrocution or firing squad by making an election.”

The state supreme court issued stays of execution for Richard Moore and Brad Sigmon, who faced a May 13, 2022, execution date, which allowed their lawsuit to proceed to a hearing.

Electrocution and Firing Squad Both “Painful and Excruciating”

At the hearing in Richland County last week, South Carolina Department of Corrections director Bryan Stirling and Colie Rushton, director of security and emergency operations, testified about their knowledge of execution protocols—or lack thereof.

As the Greenville News reported, Mr. Stirling said he did not know the age of the state’s electric chair and was not involved in any testing of the chair. Both Stirling and Rushton, who has worked at SCDC for nearly five decades, said they did not know why a specific three-phase voltage and timing sequence is used in electrocutions.

Mr. Rushton testified that he developed the state’s firing squad protocol based on information from Utah—one of four states where the firing squad is legal—and the internet.

John Wikswo, a Vanderbilt Univeristy professor with expertise in molecular physiology and biomedical engineering, testified that no scientific evidence shows that electrocution causes instantaneous or painless death. He added: “The animal husbandry community, after intense work, has concluded that they would not do to an animal in the slaughterhouse what is done in South Carolina in the death penalty.” 

On Wednesday, forensic pathologist Dr. Jonathan Arden joined three expert witnesses for the State to testify about the effect of electrocution on the  brain, heart, and skin and how quickly someone may lose consciousness when shot directly in the heart by a firing squad, the Greenville News reported.

Dr. Arden testified that, “As long as the person is still conscious when that person would be perceiving the high voltage of electricity through his or her body, that in and of itself would be painful and excruciating.”

“I’m sorry to have to say this so plainly, but you get the effects on parts of the body, including internal organs, that’s the equivalent of cooking,” he said.

In firing squad executions, “bullets have to break through soft tissue and bones to reach the heart, where sharpshooters are aiming,” Dr. Arden testified. “If someone were to be shot like that and then have a brief period of consciousness and were to breathe or move, that person would be experiencing excruciating pain.”

Dr. D’Michelle DuPre, a former police officer and medical examiner, said that the firing squad would be “very rapid” and painless—but only if the shooters have the requisite level of marksmanship skill. She admitted on cross examination that she’d seen nothing in the protocol requiring a certain level of marksmanship for the shooters. 

And even purportedly qualified marksmen have failed to hit their target. Wallace Wilkerson suffered for 27 minutes after a Utah firing squad shot him in the torso and arm, shattering the bone; and in 1951, another Utah firing squad shot Eliseo Mares in the hip and abdomen, rather than the heart, and he bled to death painfully over the course of several minutes.

Closing arguments completed the hearing last Thursday. The court has 30 days to issue a decision, according to the state supreme court’s order.

2 Racists who Murdered Ahmaud Arbery Get Additional Life Sentences in Prison and Other Racist Gets 35 Yrs for Fed Hate Crimes

From [HERE] The father and son convicted of murdering Ahmaud Arbery were both given an additional sentence of life in prison Monday on federal hate crime charges, while their neighbor was sentenced to 35 years in prison.

A judge also required that Travis McMichael, 36, Greg McMichael, 66, and William “Roddie” Bryan, 52, serve their sentences in state prison, not federal prison as had been requested by their attorneys.

"A young man is dead. Ahmaud Arbery will be forever 25. And what happened, a jury found, happened because he’s Black," U.S. District Judge Lisa Godbey Wood said during Greg McMichael's sentencing. 

The McMichaels and Bryan, who are all white, were found guilty in February on federal hate crime charges in the killing of Arbery, a Black man who was running in their neighborhood when the defendants confronted him in February 2020. The three men were convicted of all of the federal charges against them, including hate crimes, attempted kidnapping and the use of a firearm to commit a crime.

Prosecutors sought life sentences for all three men.

However, Godbey Wood said she thought it was necessary to distinguish Bryan from the McMichaels, in part because unlike his neighbors, he did not bring a gun with him when the men chased Arbery.

"It is not lost on the court that two men brought guns to that situation that had their worst effect and you weren’t one of them," she said. She added, however, that Bryan was “still deserving of an awfully long sentence." 

"By the time you serve your federal sentence, you will be close to 90 years old. But again, Mr. Arbery never got the chance to be 26," she said. "I determined that the sentence imposed is a very lengthy summary and it is one that has been earned."

Prosecutor Tara Lyons called the sentencing hearings “the end of at least one chapter in an excruciatingly painful journey for Ahmaud Arbery’s family, for his community and for an entire nation that has wept for Ahmaud.” 

The men were sentenced separately, in back-to-back trials on Monday.

Amy Lee Copeland, Travis McMichael’s attorney, asked during his sentencing that the judge allow her client to serve his sentence in federal prison because, she said, he had received “hundreds of threats” and would probably be killed in state custody. A.J. Balbo, an attorney for Greg McMichael, told the judge he was medically "not fit" to serve his sentence in state prison.

Rent Prices are Soaring in these 5 US Metro Areas

From [HERE] As rising interest rates and surging property values prevent more families from buying a home, the demand for rentals has soared, with the highest rent prices in the sunniest states.  

Rent prices for single family homes swelled during the first half of 2022, hitting a national average of $2,495 a month — a 13.4% increase compared to the same period in 2021, according to a new report from national real estate brokerage HouseCanary.

While cities in warmer climes like California and Florida dominated the list of highest median rent prices, midwestern states such as Ohio earned the top spots for most affordable rent, the report found.

5 U.S. metros with most expensive monthly rents

These U.S. metropolitan real estate markets had the highest median single-family monthly rents during the first half of 2022:

1. Los Angeles; Long Beach, California; Anaheim, California: $4,664

2. San Diego; Carlsbad, California: $4,617

3. Bridgeport, Connecticut; Stamford, Connecticut; Norwalk, Connecticut: $4,352

4. San Jose, California; Sunnyvale, California; Santa Clara, California: $4,294

5. Oxnard, California; Thousand Oaks, California; Ventura, California: $4,259

5 U.S. metros with least expensive monthly rents

These U.S. metropolitan real estate markets had the cheapest median single-family monthly rents during the first half of 2022.

1. Youngstown, Ohio; Warren, Ohio; Boardman, Ohio: $861
2. Madison, Wisconsin: $1,000
3. Little Rock, Arkansas; North Little Rock, Arkansas; Conway, Arkansas: $1,153
4. Flint, Michigan: $1,243
5. Davenport, Iowa; Moline, Illinois; Rock Island, Illinois: $1,313

List of 11 Big Companies that Have Announced Layoffs Within The Last 2 Weeks

From [HERE] When the economy slows down, layoffs inevitably happen.  We witnessed this on a very large scale in 2008 and 2009, and now it is happening again.  U.S. economic numbers are rapidly getting worse, and companies all across America don’t want to get caught with bloated payrolls as we plunge into a recession.  As you will see below, many of the firms that are laying off workers are either in the real estate industry or the tech industry.  Those are two industries that were on the leading edge of the “boom times”, and now it appears that they will also be on the bleeding edge as the economy crashes.

It is always a tragedy whenever any hard working American is forced out of a job.  Unfortunately, what we are witnessing right now is just the beginning.  The following is a list of 11 big companies that have announced layoffs within the last 2 weeks…

#1 Ultratec Inc. says that it will be laying off more than 600 workers.

#2 Electric truck maker Rivian will be laying off approximately 840 workers.

#3 7-Eleven has announced that it will be eliminating 880 corporate jobs.

#4 Shopify is laying off about 1,000 people.

#5 Vimeo says that it will be eliminating 6 percent of its current workforce.

#6 Redfin will be reducing the size of its workforce by 8 percent.

#7 Compass will be reducing the size of its workforce by 10 percent.

#8 RE/MAX will be reducing the size of its workforce by 17 percent.

#9 Robinhood will be reducing the size of its workforce by 23 percent.

#10 It is being reported that Ford “is preparing to cut as many as 8,000 jobs in the coming weeks”.

#11 Geico has closed every single one of their offices in the state of California, and that will result in vast numbers of workers losing their jobs…

GEICO, one of the largest insurance companies in the United States, reportedly closed all 38 of it’s California offices on Monday, resulting in hundreds of workers being laid off.

According to the company, GEICO would not be leaving outright, and will still be offering policies directly online, with all insurance functions continuing as normal. Buying directly through agents by phone, however, will not be possible.

“We continue to write policies in California, and we remain available through our direct channels for the more than 2.18 million California customers presently insured with us,” said GEICO in a statement on Monday.

On top of everything else, Amazon has announced that it reduced the size of its workforce by approximately 100,000 workers in just one quarter…

With recession fears mounting — and inflation, the war in Ukraine and the lingering pandemic taking a toll — many tech companies are rethinking their staffing needs, with some of them instituting hiring freezes, rescinding offers and making rounds of layoffs.

Amazon.com Inc. was one of the latest companies to discuss its belt-tightening efforts this week. During its quarterly earnings call Thursday, the e-commerce giant said it’s been adding jobs at the slowest rate since 2019. After relying on attrition to winnow its staff, Amazon now has about 100,000 fewer employees than in the previous quarter.

You could fill up two very large football stadiums with 100,000 workers.

Eventually, this wave of job losses will become a tsunami, and millions of Americans will suddenly find that they are unable to continue paying their bills.

Meanwhile, our new housing crash is starting to pick up speed as well.

In fact, we just witnessed an absolutely massive spike in the number of Americans that are searching for the term “sell my home fast” on Google…

Within hours of the latest GDP report on Thursday, which raised fears that the United States could be entering a recession, online search volume for “sell my home fast” spiked a whopping 2,750%.

Shortly after the Commerce Department released the report on July 28, revealing that the economy showed negative growth for a second straight quarter — shrinking by an annual pace of 0.9% — home sellers hoping for higher housing prices to continue are now concerned.

Just like in 2008 and 2009, a lot of Americans that bought near the peak of the market are going to end up underwater on their homes.

We didn’t learn from history, and so now we are repeating it.

And things are going to get worse and worse for the housing market as the Federal Reserve continues to raise interest rates.

Of course it isn’t just the U.S. that is going to be suffering in the months ahead.

The whole planet appears to be heading for a major downturn, and one of the largest shipping companies in the entire world has just confirmed that global economic activity is really starting to slow down…

AP Moller-Maersk on Wednesday predicted a slowdown in global shipping container demand this year amid weakening consumer confidence and supply chain congestion.

The Danish shipping and logistics company — one of the world’s largest and a broad barometer for global trade — said it loaded 7.4% fewer containers onto ships in the second quarter when compared to the same period in 2021, prompting it to revise the full-year outlook for its container business.

Jury awards $33.5M for Dolton Police Car Crash. 1 Black Man Died and Another Has Permanent Brain Injury after Cops Led a High Speed Chase (80mph) through Neighborhood to Enforce a Stop Sign Violation

From [HERE] A Cook County jury late Wednesday handed down against the village of Dolton what an attorney said was the largest personal injury judgment in the county, awarding more than $33.5 million in damages in connection with a 2016 police car chase that ended with a fatal crash.

John Kyles and Duane Dunlap were passengers in a car driven by a third man, who sped off when police in the south suburb tried to pull over the vehicle for rolling through a stop sign. During the ensuing chase, police vehicles sped faster than 80 miles per hour and drove through multiple stop signs before the car crashed.

Kyles died at the scene and Dunlap suffered brain injuries that will require “permanent residential care,” attorney Jon Loevy said at his West Loop office Thursday at a press conference with the men’s families.

“I miss John so much. No amount of money could bring him back,” said Aja Seats, Kyles’ sister. “I appreciate the jury holding the village of Dolton accountable for my brother’s death.”

Over a weeklong trial, lawyers for Kyles’ and Dunlap’s families argued the village offered poor training and had a history of allowing officers to engage in reckless high-speed pursuits despite numerous wrecks, Loevy said.

The verdict was the largest ever awarded by a Cook County jury, Loevy said.

“This chase was unnecessary and tragic,” Loevy said. “It didn’t have to happen.”

Kyles’ estate will receive $10 million and the Dunlap family will get $23.5 million.

The lawsuit stated that one of the officers involved in the chase, Sgt. Lewis Lacey, had been involved in six previous chases that resulted in injuries, including one that took place on the same stretch of Greenwood Road as the one that claimed Kyles’ life.

Village records showed Lacey had filed a workman’s compensation claim against the village over injuries suffered in a wreck and had totaled multiple police vehicles, the lawsuit stated.

A second officer involved in the chase was 22-year-old probationary officer Ryan Perez, who had been involved in four high-speed chases during just 11 months on the job, according to the lawsuit.

In all, Dolton police had been involved in 50 chases from 2011 to 2016, half of which caused injuries, property damage or fatalities, the lawsuit states.

Village officials did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
