When an Innocent Black Man is Locked Up 38 yrs for Murdering a White Woman who's the Real Criminal? Maurice Hastings Released Following DNA Test. Sought Testing Decades Ago but White DA Denied Request

From [HERE] A Black man who spent more than 38 years behind bars for a 1983 murder of a white woman and two attempted murders has been released from a California prison after long-untested DNA evidence pointed to a different person, the Los Angeles county district attorney said.

The conviction of Maurice Hastings, 69, and a life sentence were vacated during a 20 October court hearing at the request of prosecutors and his lawyers from the Los Angeles Innocence Project at California State University.

“I prayed for many years that this day would come,” Hastings said at a news conference on Friday. “I am not pointing fingers. I am not standing up here a bitter man, but I just want to enjoy my life now while I have it.”

The district attorney, George Gascón, said in a statement: “What has happened to Mr Hastings is a terrible injustice. The justice system is not perfect, and when we learn of new evidence which causes us to lose confidence in a conviction, it is our obligation to act swiftly.”

The victim in the case, Roberta Wydermyer, was sexually assaulted and killed by a single gunshot to the head, authorities said. Her body was found in the trunk of her vehicle in the Los Angeles suburb of Inglewood.

Hastings was charged with special-circumstance murder and the district attorney’s office sought the death penalty but the jury deadlocked. A second jury convicted him and he was sentenced in 1988 to life in prison without parole.

Hastings has maintained his innocence since he was arrested.

At the time of the victim’s autopsy, the coroner conducted a sexual assault examination and semen was detected in an oral swab, the district attorney’s statement said.

Hastings sought DNA testing in 2000 but the DA’s office denied the request. Hastings submitted a claim of innocence to the DA’s Conviction Integrity Unit last year and DNA testing last June found that the semen was not his.

The DNA profile was put into a state database this month and matched that of a person convicted of an armed kidnapping in which a female victim was placed in a vehicle’s trunk, as well as the forced oral copulation of a woman.

That suspect, whose name was not released, died in prison in 2020.

The district attorney’s office said it was working with police to further investigate the involvement of the dead person in the case. 

Real Trial for a False Flag? GOINTELBRO Guilty in "Waukehsa Attack" After Uncontested Trial With No Attorney, No Cross Examination, No Objections, No Investigation, No Witnesses, No Motions or Defense

According to FUNKTIONARY:

AFRO-INTELPRO - an FBI created, CIA and NSA backed, black-on-black infiltration and snitch network. AFRO is the acronym for Africans For Revolution Only. The intelligence operatives infiltrate revolutionary organizations to disrupt and foment confusion, terror and distrust within the ranks of those organizations not unlike COINTELPRO. (See: SNigger)

GOINTELBRO – Government Operative Incognegro Notifying The Enforcers Liberating Blackamerica’s Racist Oppressors. A Gointel-bro is a sorry-ass sophisticated hanky-head, coin-operated, Sam-Bohican, Snigger on the payrolls of the F.B.I. (or any other alphabet threat agency) as an undercover informant to foment divisiveness in Blackamerica’s ongoing centuries-long struggle for socioeconomic advancement as a people. Sniggers are equal in intent, and bound by the same flaw—covertly soul-selling out the potential self-determination of his people for the sake of his Massa’s overtly racist, statist or fascist law. (See: Snigger, COINTELPRO, Sambo, Black Flask Brigade, BOHICAN & Coin-Operated)

Hoax - a mirage that appears as believable, popular (and marketable) as Jesus, as tempting as sin, and as captivating as a sweet taboo---without its consequences and side-effects too. The illusion of truth seems real--the "reality" of the reel (the Passing Show)--the surreal. The two most pervasive hoaxes we put over on ourselves is ego and money--neither have any existence.

From [HERE] A jury found Darrell Brooks guilty of six counts of homicide for driving into a Christmas parade in Waukesha, Wis., last year.

The verdict, reached Wednesday, comes less than a year after Brooks allegedly plowed through police barricades and drove a red SUV along the local holiday parade route in November 2021, killing six people and injuring dozens of others. 

Prosecutors charged Brooks, a 40-year-old Milwaukee resident, with six counts of first-degree intentional homicide, as well as dozens of other charges related to recklessly endangering safety, in relation to the attack. The 12-member Waukesha County jury found Brooks guilty on all 76 counts Wednesday.

First-degree homicide in Wisconsin is classified as a Class A felony, which carries a penalty of life in prison. [MORE]

The Dependent Media left out the fact that he had no attorney for his trial.

There is a clear pattern here with some false flags; Dylann Roof had an uncontested trial (no attorney during his criminal trial), the Parkland shooter had no actual trial because he pled guilty and then had a sentencing hearing (mischaracterized by media as a criminal trial) and Alex Jones’ multiple cases all concerned default judgements and damages hearings- not actual contested trials on the merits where the underlying event (the false flag) was established with findings of fact in an adversarial setting by a jury.

Here, without an attorney, “Darrell Brooks'’” (or whoever he is) murder trial was an uncontested mock trial. That is, no real pre-trial investigation or discovery by “the defense” took place. No meaningful jury selection occurred. No pre-trial motions were filed to exclude evidence or statements. His identification was not properly contested. During trial no meaningful skilled cross examination took place, no meaningful objections to hundreds of government requests and questions took place, there were no meaningful challenges to hundreds of government exhibits, no foundations for evidence were laid, no authentication of evidence was necessary, any and all hearsay and double hearsay was admissible, no actual defenses were asserted, no witnesses testified on his behalf, no legitimate criminal defense or theory of the case was set forth and more - just like on a TV show. Thus, a real trial for this false flag didn’t take place. Nevertheless, the media carries on otherwise with its theater for your mind – intended to make you believe that the underlying event occurred without ever having to actually prove it.

Allegations are allegations and the proof in totalitarian systems - ‘who needs to actually prove a set of facts during an adversarial trial when you have “beliefs” and dogma? Almost like faith based COVID vaccines: they’re safe because the media said so and they know because the government told them. The media simply parrots the police version of events. Anyone who questions the police or government narrative or seeks actual details is a conspiracy theorist. Lawyers call this burden shifting in court. And this is with all things, not just false flags - for instance, just ask the liberals who claim to sincerely and genuinely believe the veracity of Herschel Walker’s anonymous accuser despite the fact that they’ve never seen or heard “her” and have no rational reason to find “her” credible. How does one acquire such a jesusized belief in an anonymous person or invisible and unheard person ?

Due to the contrived nature of the evidence and weird timing of the incident, Waukesha feels synthetic and should be suspected as a false flag operation conducted by the government until proven otherwise. If Crimethinc and The Pathocracy would create deadly COVID injections for the purpose of genthanasia and and collude with The Dependent Media to promote biocide with lies, then surely It would have no problem executing 6 white people at a X-Mas parade.

During the week of Thanksgiving and after the conclusion of multiple race related criminal trials involving white male defendants, we were presented with Mr. “Darrel Brooks” or “Darrell Brooks” and his conduct in a 90% white city of Waukesha. At the time of the incident observe the common name and generic look in which he can be easily confused with many other middle-aged light skinned Black males with long dreadlocks covering much of his head and a beard concealing much of his face. Dood looks and sounds like police or an actor not a rapper. Is the driver on the grainy video actually “Darrel Brooks?” No one will ever know.

What’s missing is cell phone video evidence of the actual incident – although there were probably hundreds of people present with their cell phones recording the parade, there appear to be only a few videos [HERE] and [HERE] of the incident – which is not normal but very common in false flags. Like other false flags, Brooks’ alleged “intentional murder planning” is undermined by having no getaway plan, which we deduce due to the existence of a silly pre-arrest video from “a neighbor” – apparently “Darrel Brooks” planned to run people over during a holiday parade, crash the car, flee on foot and either catch an Uber to escape or outrun the police. Just days after the incident, the government completed its investigation and concluded he intentionally ran people over – probably based on his rap lyrics or an unproduced manifesto or diary perhaps to be released during the trial. Like other false flags, less than 7 days after the incident we had an open and shut case - no need for a trial anyway, allegations are the evidence to tyrants and their slaves.

Less than a week after it happened the media supplied us a ready made bio for “Darrell Brooks” containing info (faster than court pre-trial services) about childhood upbringing (not dissimilar to the readily found unauthenticated manifestos or diaries found in other false flag episodes), how his ex-girlfriend feels and a slick headshot photo (like ISIS press releases). The media has stated he is a rapist, depicted him as a serial criminal who is unreformable (because Blacks are inherently criminal) [MORE] and said he is a welfare recipient. We are told he is an auto-coon rapper (an unsigned artist of course “promoted” on a YouTube channel (formed days after the incident, probably by the government). In his video he apparently showcased the same Ford Escape he used to kill as a prop in a music video (an auto-coon rapper with a Ford Escape? Silly, only police think like this. Reminds BW of the “Black rapper” from SD allegedly found on the battlefield in Syria fighting for ISIS, confirmed of course by “his tweets”). The media also explained he hates Trump and white people (hate white folks? Although his conduct has been objectionable, there is no hate on display in court in hours of footage where he is clearly seeking approval from and trying to please the white judge and white courtroom staff, like a puppy, child or servant– this is beggar conduct, racists find it flattering). According to the media and the police, Brooks had a history of social media posts advocating for violence against white people, he rapped about being a "terrorist" and a "killer,” he was a "black nationalist” (when white people say that what does it mean? If it means living separate and apart from whites then could he do that in 90% white Waukesha?), a member of the Black Hebrew Israelites (is there a branch in Waukesha, which is 3% Black?), and believes in black supremacy (right, like a prisoner believing he is the warden) and so on [MORE]. Based on the generic profile he probably also loves fried chicken, watermelon, collards, white woman, rims, cereal etc. All this leads the believer to believe that he ran people over because they were white. Racists are presupposed to believe that Waukesha occurred in the same way that Black folks are presupposed to believe Dylann Roof killed people in a Black church with little to no non-testimonial and objective evidence.

‘COVID Injections Don’t Prevent COVID or Stop Transmission of COVID:’ Judge Rules Vax Mandate Has No Rational Basis. Orders NYC to Give Back Pay and Reinstate Fired Unvaccinated Workers

From [HERE] On Monday, the Honorable Ralph J. Porzio – a judge appointed to the Supreme Court of the State of New York – ordered that the Petitioners’ equal rights had been violated.

He further ordered that:

  • “…the terminated Petitioners are hereby reinstated to their full employment status, effective October 25, 2022, at 6 a.m.”

  • “…the Petitioners are entitled to back pay in salary from the date of termination.”

This might not seem like a big deal. It certainly reads like a wrongful termination suit. But the Petitioners were former Department of Sanitation of New York employees who were fired from their work.

Did they do something wrong? Did they commit a crime? Did they fail to perform their duties? 

No. None of the above.

The state of New York terminated those employees in February of 2022 for their “failure to comply with vaccine requirements.” The issue involved the COVID-19 “vaccines” and the subsequent vaccine mandates that were imposed upon public health workers and their families. 

Sadly, this wasn’t just a New York “thing.” It happened in many other places across the country.

As we look back in the rearview mirror, these wrongful terminations were meaningless and violations of our equal rights. And that’s exactly what the judge concluded. He stated accurately that:

Being vaccinated does not prevent an individual from contracting or transmitting COVID-19. As of the day of this decision, CDC guidelines regarding quarantine and isolation are the same for vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals. The Petitioners should not have been terminated for choosing not to protect themselves.

Amen.

Given what’s now proven, the act of taking a COVID-19 “vaccine” doesn’t protect others - which is why any form of COVID-19 “vaccine” mandate is nonsensical. These shots are nothing more than experimental drugs with known side effects and are now proven to have limited efficacy.

Some will argue that the government and organizations didn’t know back then that the shots didn’t stop infection or transmission when they terminated employees because of their personal health decisions. That’s complete nonsense.

Many in the medical community knew about this and some were brave enough to publicly speak and write about what these drugs did and didn’t do – even if it meant losing their medical license. I have nothing but respect for them. Sadly, most in the medical community didn’t say a word.

I even wrote about these topics in The Bleeding Edge more than two years ago, explaining that the mRNA shots would simply coax our bodies into producing an antibody that would provide some level of protection against the virus if we were exposed – not durable immunity to COVID-19. 

It’s nothing like a real vaccine that exposes our bodies to an attenuated or inactive virus, which helps our bodies build sterilizing immunity to a virus or disease.

I knew these things because it was a basic scientific fact concerning how mRNA technology works. I wasn’t a genius. I just read a few scientific papers on mRNA technology and figured it out… which means a remarkable number of others in the scientific community knew it as well.

The reason why this ruling comes as such a surprise is because New York is one of the last remaining bastions of the Covidians. It’s still a place where many continue to insist on wearing masks, despite what we all now know.

In my humble opinion, all COVID-19 “vaccine” mandates should be removed.

Any corporation, non-profit, or government entity that wrongfully terminated employment because someone made a personal health choice not to take an experimental drug without any safety data to review should be offered their job back immediately, with full back pay from the date of termination. Period. 

Emails Reveal CDC Pressured FDA to Authorize COVID Boosters Without Clinical Trials

From [CHD] The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) pressured U.S. regulators to clear COVID-19 boosters without clinical trial data, according to newly released emails.

CDC officials relayed to counterparts at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in early August 2021 that they wanted authorization for Moderna and Pfizer boosters as data began showing that the vaccines weren’t working as well as initially promoted.

The conversation took place on a call that was described by Dr. Phil Krause, a top FDA official, to several other FDA workers.

“Take a deep breath before reading this next paragraph. On that call, the CDC evidently stated that they will assemble all the data they are aware of on third dosing in this setting and send it to us in the hope that we will (very soon) authorize the third dose for immunocompromised as part of the EUA,” Krause wrote in the Aug. 5, 2021, email.

EUA stands for emergency use authorization.

All of the COVID-19 vaccines were authorized under emergency conditions at that time.

No boosters had been authorized and no clinical data were available for the boosters.

The emails show that “the CDC wanted the booster approved without a trial,” Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, a professor of medicine at Stanford University, wrote on Twitter.

The CDC didn’t respond to a request for comment.

Krause was responding to Doran Fink, who also works for the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, charged with evaluating vaccines.

Fink sent along a post that had been made to an infectious diseases forum regarding whether doctors should be giving additional vaccine doses to patients with compromised immune systems despite the lack of authorization.

Dr. Richard Nathan of Idaho had written that other countries, including Israel, had cleared boosters.

Nathan wrote:

“Pfizer recommends it and I trust their guidance over the turmoil at our federal agencies. With millions of doses of vaccine set to expire, you should do what you think is best for your patients.

“I can’t believe you would get pushback from anyone. Keep in mind, nearly everyone in this group is six to seven months out from the second dose of the vaccine and many have significant daily exposure to the virus.”

Fink said the post “accurately reflects more widespread thinking that I am hearing in other forums as well,” including among doctors who advise the CDC on vaccines.

“Providers are losing confidence in FDA/CDC to do the right thing for their patients,” Fink said.

Less than two weeks later, the FDA authorized boosters for certain people, including immunocompromised persons.

The agency said that “a thorough review of the available data” concluded the group “may benefit” from a third dose.

The only data cited on efficacy were from two studies, one conducted by French researchers and another by Canadian researchers. Pfizer and Moderna hadn’t completed trials.

“As we’ve previously stated, other individuals who are fully vaccinated are adequately protected and do not need an additional dose of COVID-19 vaccine at this time,” Dr. Janet Woodcock, the FDA’s top official said.

But just weeks later, Woodcock and Dr. Rochelle Walensky, the CDC’s top official, signed onto a joint statement saying that vaccine protection was waning and that boosters “will be needed to maximize vaccine-induced protection and prolong its durability.”

In September 2021, the FDA and CDC authorized Pfizer boosters for many other Americans. The authorization was expanded to Moderna and Johnson & Johnson shots, and virtually all other Americans, later in the year.

Krause and Dr. Marion Gruber resigned from their positions because of opposition to the booster strategy.

Judicial Watch obtained the newly published emails as part of ongoing litigation against the Biden administration for not properly responding to a Freedom of Information Act request.

An earlier tranche of emails showed that Gruber was “very concerned” in late August 2021 about pressure from companies such as Pfizer over vaccine authorization.

“We need to be given time to consider their data and cannot be pushed by these companies and, for that matter the Administration, who try to impose timeless [sic] that make no sense,” Gruber wrote to Dr. Peter Marks, a top FDA official.

“These FDA records further document top officials’ concerns about the controversial COVID-19 booster shots,” Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said in a statement.

“That it has taken months and a federal lawsuit to uncover this critical material is a scandal.”

Study from Japan Finds COVID Injections Increase the Risk of Myocarditis - Disease that Can Cause Heart Failure, Heart Attack, Stroke and Sudden Cardiac Death

From [HERE] and [MORE] Yet another study, this time in Japan, raises concerns about mRNA COVID-19 vaccine safety signals. Recently posted in the preprint server medRxiv, co-author Rokuro Hama, director of the Japan Institute of Pharmacovigilance, a Japanese post-approval monitoring agency, reports evidence of growing concern. A sophisticated operation, this Japanese group diligently pursued its mission. They report that myocarditis mortality ratios (MMRRs) and their confidence intervals (95%) after receiving the COVID-19 vaccines compared with the general reference population over the past three years were significantly higher not only among the young adult population (highest in the 30s with MMRR of 6.69) but also in the elderly. A bombshell finding, the authors in Japan report that myocarditis risk among COVID-19 vaccinated may be four times higher than the apparent MMRRs considering healthy vaccinee effect. They declare, “Underreported post-vaccination deaths should also be considered as suggested by the extremely high myocarditis mortality odds ratio (205.60; 133.52 to 311.94 ).”

The Study

This real-world investigation compares the myocarditis mortality rate in the SARS-CoV-2 vaccinated with that in the general population in Japan. The study was based on the materials and the vital statistics disclosed by the Japanese government

This Japanese study is still in preprint involving 99,834,543 individuals aged 12 and up who had received a COVID-19 vaccine once or twice by February 2022. The authors report the reference population as those aged 10 and above from 2017 to 2019.

Findings

The authors report in medXriv that the number of myocarditis deaths meeting inclusion criteria were 38 cases. MMRR (95% 16 confidence interval) was 4.03 (0.77 to 13.60) in 20s, 6.69 (2.24 to 16.71) in 30s, 3.89 (1.48 to 8.64) 17 in 40s, respectively. SMR of myocarditis was 2.01 (1.44 to 2.80) for the overall vaccinated population, and 1.65 (1.07 to 2.55) for those 60 years or older. Estimated adMMRRs and adSMR were about 4 times higher than the MMRRs and SMR. Pooled MOR for myocarditis was 205.60 (133.52 to 311.94).

Discussion

The results of this study raise bombshell implications. SARS-CoV-2 vaccination was associated with a higher risk of myocarditis death, not only in young adults but also in all age groups including the elderly. Considering the healthy vaccinee effect, the authors suggest that the risk of this serious adverse event could be four times or higher than the apparent risk of myocarditis death. Importantly they emphasize that any underreporting must also be considered. Based on this study, the risk of myocarditis following SARS-CoV-2 24 vaccination may be more serious than that reported previously. This study dovetails with other evidence that the safety of vaccines must be reconsidered. 

Swiss Study Reports that mRNA COVID Shots Cause Heart Injury. According to the Study Every Single Participant was Injured

From [HERE] A Swiss study reports that heart injuries occurred in all mRNA COVID shot recipients included in the study. Not only that, 2.8% or 1 in 27 also had myocarditis.

While some would like to blame previous virus infection for these conditions, a “control group” in Australia supported evidence that the shots were the cause. It also found “16 excess deaths per 100,000 booster doses” and “the age groups most likely to use boosters show large rises in excess mortality after boosters are rolled out.”

A study in Japan found the same thing, as did another study in Israel. Other disturbing findings included:

  1. mRNA vaccines don’t stay at the injection site but instead travel throughout the body and accumulate in various organs;

  2. mRNA-based Covid vaccines induce long-lasting expression of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein in many organs;

  3. Vaccine-induced expression of the spike protein induces autoimmune-like inflammation;

  4. Vaccine-induced inflammation can cause grave organ damage, especially in vessels, sometimes with deadly outcome.

Scientists at Boston University Created a Version of COVID that Has 80% Lethality in Mice. But Claim Its Not a Bioweapon Designed to Infect and Harm People

From [HERE] Story at a glance:

  • Less than two months ago, scientists funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and Dr. Anthony Fauci’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) announced they’d resurrected the Spanish flu virus through reverse genetics.

  • Now, scientists at Boston University report they’ve engineered an Omicron strain of SARS-CoV-2 with an 80% lethality in mice. The new hybrid was created by extracting spike protein from the Omicron BA.1 variant of SARS-CoV-2 and attaching it to the original Wuhan Alpha strain.

  • The research was funded by four grants from the NIH/NIAID, but because those funds were supposedly “earmarked” primarily for equipment, they did not clear the viral engineering portion of the experiment with the NIH. The NIH is reviewing the case to determine whether the University violated rules for enhanced potential pandemic pathogen (ePPP) research.

  • Boston University denies the research qualifies as “gain of function” research as the Alpha strain’s lethality was reduced from 100% to 80%. However, the Alpha strain did gain function, namely immune escape, which it didn’t have before. The immune-evading properties came from the Omicron spike.

  • The likelihood of SARS-CoV-2 assembling itself into a Wuhan Alpha strain with Omicron spike protein “in the wild” is just about nil, as the Wuhan strain has mutated out of existence already. Were it not for these madmen, we would never have had to worry about this kind of recombination.

Less than two months ago, we reported scientists funded by the NIH and Dr. Anthony Fauci’s NIAID have resurrected the Spanish flu virus through reverse genetics.

Disturbingly, the scientists appeared frustrated by the fact that the recreated virus failed to kill the macaque species selected for the experiment, even at the highest doses tested.

They argued a more dangerous version of the Spanish flu virus must be created in order to develop better vaccines against it. This despite the fact that, until they resurrected this virus, it no longer existed in nature and posed zero threat to mankind.

It kind of reminds me of a Mary Shelley quote, the author of “Frankenstein,” who in 1818 stated:

“Frightful must it be; for supremely frightful would be the effect of any human endeavor to mock the stupendous mechanism of the Creator of the world.”

Massively lethal Omicron hybrid has now been engineered

Now, we come to learn that mad scientists at Boston University’s biosafety level 4 (BSL4) laboratory have engineered an Alpha/Omicron hybrid strain of SARS-CoV-2 with an 80% lethality in mice.

In the video above, John Campbell reviews this paper. He, like many others, are calling on the U.S. government to immediately close down this kind of research, and to destroy all the Frankenstein viruses already created. If they don’t exist in a lab somewhere, then they cannot escape.

Considering SARS-CoV-2 was most likely concocted in a lab, just like this hybrid, the fact that they continue tinkering with it to make it more lethal is indeed mind-bogglingly reckless.

What’s to prevent this souped-up hybrid from escaping and wiping out mankind? Sure, BSL4 labs have the tightest safety precautions, but that is no guarantee the virus won’t get out (especially if someone intentionally wants it out).

There have been plenty of lab leaks in the past, and as discussed by The Lancet COVID-19 Commission chairman Jeffrey Sachs in the video at the end of this article, evidence suggests SARS-CoV-2 emerged from a U.S.-backed research program in China.

Granted, effects on mice are not directly translatable to humans, but since SARS-CoV-2 appears particularly adapted to infecting humans, these results are certainly cause for concern.

And again, the likelihood of SARS-CoV-2 somehow reassembling itself into a Wuhan strain with Omicron spike protein “in the wild” is just about nil. Why? Because the original Wuhan strain has vanished from the environment.

It has mutated out of existence already and been replaced by a series of new variants. So, the chance of the first, original strain getting mixed with one of the last — in nature, by itself — is beyond remote. Were it not for these madmen, we would never have had to worry about this kind of recombination.

Yet here we are, facing the possibility of an unimaginably deadly coronavirus — thanks to scientists who continue to act without moral compass. Just because something can be done doesn’t mean it should be done. As noted by Steve Kirsch:

“Presumably there is some benefit to creating a new strain of SARS-CoV-2 that has a case fatality rate (CFR) of 80% (up from the average 0.2% CFR for the current variants) and is highly contagious. I’m baffled as to what it is. …

“Here’s an idea how fast it could spread. Look at the slope of the purple curve … that’s Omicron. This is from a CDC paper. So expect the virus to spread everywhere in about a month. How fast will it wipe out the entire US population if released? It depends on how quickly the virus kills humans.” [MORE]

Atlanta Enacts Law to Protect People with Criminal Records from Employment Discrimination

From [HERE] The city of Atlanta has designated formerly incarcerated people a protected class, granting them legal protection from discrimination.

The city council unanimously voted in favor of the measure on Oct. 17. Advocates and those impacted said it could remove economic barriers for thousands of people, many of who are Black, and decrease recidivism.

“With this vote, the City of Atlanta is taking the first step in recognizing that we all are human beings,” Bridgette Simpson of Barred Business said in a statement. “Formerly incarcerated people have the right to move on from the sentences we served and should be able to access things like housing, employment and other basic needs that are essential for all people to live safely in this society.”

Atlanta Councilman Matt Westmoreland, one of the measure’s sponsors, said it was a request of residents who say they have been unfairly treated because of their criminal history.

The adopted ordinance bars businesses within Atlanta from denying formerly incarcerated people jobs or housing solely because of their criminal record.

The ordinance says: “any adverse hiring decisions based on criminal history must be based on how the criminal history relates to the position’s responsibilities in accordance with the following considerations: 1) whether the applicant committed the offense; 2) the nature and gravity of the offense; 3) the time since the offense; and 4) the nature of the job for which the applicant has applied.” [MORE]

ProPublica Report Finds Child Protective Services Agencies Routinely Fail to Comply with Warrant Requirements to Enter Homes

From [HERE] Governments set up rules governing how they govern. Then they ignore them. So, what’s the point? Is it a nod to decorum before the proverbial government party guest throws up in the bathtub and hits on your mom? 

If the law says an entry order or warrant is needed to enter people’s homes to investigate alleged crimes against children and you choose to ignore that law, that should make you a lawbreaker. Instead, it just makes you a child protective services investigator.

An investigation by ProPublica has found that these orders are almost never obtained. Instead, investigators simply exploit the ignorance of those targeted, bullying their way past their thresholds to perform warrantless searches of people’s homes.

By law, ACS [Administration for Children’s Services] caseworkers are not allowed to enter and search a home without either permission to enter or an entry order, which is the legal equivalent of a search warrant, unless a child is in imminent danger. But many parents don’t know that they have the right to deny these government agents or don’t push back for fear of losing their children, according to parents and their advocates. And caseworkers frequently say things that are coercive and manipulative in order to get inside homes without going to a judge, according to interviews with more than three dozen former ACS workers, New York City Family Court judges, parents, children and attorneys.

How often is this requirement ignored? Pretty much all the time. ProPublica found that in New York, ACS engaged in more than 56,000 cases a year over the last decade. In the average year over the same time span, it only obtained 94 warrants/entry orders: less than 0.2% of the total cases.

While it’s certainly true not all open cases result in home searches, home entries are extremely common. Home visits are a requirement in most states when a case is opened, which means investigators will make an appearance at people’s homes at least once, if not multiple times, before the investigation concludes.

The data obtained by ProPublica says investigators almost never obtain these orders. The statements made by agencies contacted by ProPublica back up these findings: warrants are the exception, even if they’re supposed to be the rule.

[I]n a ProPublica and NBC News survey that drew detailed responses from 40 state child welfare agencies, all said they would only obtain a warrant or court order to search a home — or call the police for help — in rare cases when they are denied entry. None said they keep any data on how often they get an entry order.

This adds up to millions of warrantless entries to homes every year, performed by agencies that rely on coercion and ignorance to gain entry. When a cop tries to enter a home, most people know they need a warrant to do it. That information has long been mainstream, thanks to decades of TV cop shows. But when a child protective services investigator shows up, people aren’t aware they are government employees performing criminal investigations and need to have the same paperwork to gain entry.

Preliminary Hearing for White Cop Charged w/Murder of Patrick Lyoya is Today. Cop Too Weak to Subdue Black Man Shot Him in the Head Rather than Let Him Go After Questionable Traffic Stop

From [HERE] In the six months since a police officer shot a Black man in the back of the head following a struggle over a Taser, the public has been privy to many of the details.

Grand Rapids police released bodycam and cellphone videos showing the moments leading up to and the fatal shooting, MLive and other news organizations reported details about the police investigation through Freedom of Information Act requests and an eyewitness provided his account of what happened.

Despite those details, a couple questions remain unanswered in the case against police officer Christopher Schurr, who is charged with second-degree murder in the killing of Patrick Lyoya.

· What did Schurr say in his statement to Michigan State Police?

· What caused the officer to search the database for the license plate on the car Lyoya was driving?

The answers to those questions may come during the pivotal preliminary court hearing set for Thursday at the Kent County Courthouse in downtown Grand Rapids. The hearing is scheduled to begin at 8:30 a.m. Thursday.

The hearing will broadcast on YouTube from Grand Rapids District Judge Nicholas Ayoub’s courtroom.

Ayoub will ultimately decide if the prosecution has presented enough evidence to send the case to trial. If testimony doesn’t wrap up on Thursday, the parties will reconvene for a second day on Friday, Oct. 28.

Schurr, a 31-year-old who has since been fired from the Grand Rapids Police Department, shot Lyoya, a 24-year-old, in the back of the head the morning of April 4, during a struggle following a traffic stop on Grand Rapids’ Southeast Side. Lyoya was driving a vehicle with a license plate that didn’t match.

The two later fought over control of Schurr’s Taser before the officer fired his weapon into the back of Lyoya’s head while on top of him. [MORE]

White Iowa Cop Sought Immunity for Pepper Spraying a Black Woman in the Face while She Recorded a Protest. Request Denied by the 8th Circuit Ct of Appeals

From [HERE] The Eighth Circuit affirmed the denial of a Des Moines police officer's motion for qualified immunity on civil rights claims stemming from his decision to pepper-spray a woman in the face while she was live-streaming a protest sparked by the death of George Floyd.

Welch participated in protest activities in downtown Des Moines on the evening of May 30, 2020, in the aftermath of the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis. At one point, protestors threw rocks at an historic county courthouse and broke glass. Welch was near that scene, recording the events on her cellular phone.

The incident in question occurred about thirteen minutes later, after Welch had moved across the street to the vicinity of a different courthouse facility. Welch was then broadcasting a video of events taking place in front of the second courthouse building. According to the facts assumed by the district court, no property damage was occurring at the time of the incident, and much of an erstwhile crowd had migrated away from the courthouse.

Welch was standing “before” a scrimmage line of police officers who were protecting the courthouse, and she was located on the “edge” of the line. Video evidence confirms that Welch was standing on a public sidewalk several feet away from a line of officers—forward and to the right of the line from the perspective of the officers. See Scott v. Harris, 550 U.S. 372, 380-81 (2007).

Dempsey arrived behind the police line in an armored vehicle, walked around a group of officers who were taking no action against Welch, approached Welch while she was live-streaming the events, and sprayed her in the face with a chemical agent. Dempsey gave no warning to Welch, and he was on the scene for only twelve seconds before he deployed force. [MORE]

Colorado Springs Mayor calls for Investigation after Cops were Caught Threatening to Murder Black People and Protesters During Protests in 2020 and 2021

From [HERE] Colorado Springs Mayor John Suthers is calling for an investigation into comments allegedly made by police officers during protests and marches in 2020 and 2021. The incidents were captured on body cameras worn by police.

The first video is alleged to have been recorded prior to a Black Lives Matter protest in Colorado Springs on June 2, 2020. The clip was provided to KRCC by a lawyer representing one of the protesters who sued CSPD for use of excessive force.

Earlier this year, the protester — Tara Hadam — was awarded $140,000 in a settlement with the city. In the video, someone can be heard singing and altering the words to the song "We Will Rock You" to include threats of gassing people. Another individual can be heard laughing at the lyrics.

A second recording was captured by the body cam of an officer at a march for affordable housing in Colorado Springs in July 2021. It was provided to KRCC by Jon Christiansen of the Chinook Center, one of the organizers of the march. On that tape, officers allegedly joke about the marchers being stoned to death.

Christiansen said the footage shows that "with no provocation and no indication that any crime is taking place, officers gleefully imagine protesters being violently murdered.” 

In a statement, Suthers called both the statements “wholly unacceptable.”

“While local law enforcement was under considerable duress related to protests during those times, the statements are wholly unprofessional and, if they can be attributed to specific CSPD officers, should be fully investigated and be the subject of potential discipline,” Suthers said. “The CSPD has made considerable effort in the aftermath of the protests to ensure officers act professionally in all such encounters going forward, but that does not mean officers who previously engaged in inappropriate conduct should not be held accountable.” [MORE]

New Complaint Board Will Investigate Racial Profiling Complaints and Make Discipline Recommendations but the Public Has No Control Over NYPD Cops Authorized to Attack and Murder Blacks in Liberal NYC

From [HERE] The New York City oversight body that examines police misconduct will now have the authority to investigate claims of racial profiling, as well as officers’ misuse of body cameras, and recommend disciplinary measures in those cases, officials said on Monday.

The changes will strengthen the influence of the oversight body, known as the Civilian Complaint Review Board, which receives complaints from residents, determines whether there is evidence to substantiate those claims and then recommends disciplinary measures to the New York City Police Department.

The Police Department previously investigated bias claims itself, but few cases were substantiated. Between 2014 and 2021, the department investigated 3,480 such allegations, including complaints that officers had discriminated against people because of race, gender, sexual orientation or housing status. The department found only four cases that warranted discipline, according to a federal monitor’s report in May.

Last year, the City Council passed a law that revised the city charter to explicitly grant the Civilian Complaint Review Board the authority to investigate such cases. The new rules took effect this weekend after a months long process to adopt them. [MORE]

Racist PA Republicans Pretend Like They're Victimized by Urban Crime Despite Living Miles Away and Fake Concern About Black Lives: State Reps File Articles of Impeachment Against Philadelphia DA

From [HERE] Republican members of the Pennsylvania State House Wednesday filed articles of impeachment against Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner. State Representative Martina White, the only Republican legislator from Philadelphia, is the lead sponsor of the resolution.

The House referred the resolution to the Judiciary Committee on Wednesday morning. The committee has not yet scheduled its next meeting to potentially discuss the resolution. If approved by the committee, the resolution will go to the full House for a vote. With only three days remaining on the House legislative calendar, the House will most likely need to extend the legislative session to consider the impeachment.

Like federal impeachments, the Pennsylvania impeachment process requires a simple majority of the state House. Republicans are in the majority and forecasters predict that Republicans will retain control of the chamber after the midterm elections on November 8. If impeached, the legislation would move to the state Senate for a trial. The conviction and removal from office of Krasner requires a two-thirds majority of the Senate. While Republicans have a majority in the Senate, they need to flip five seats to have a two-thirds majority.

Republican legislators filed the articles of impeachment without the recommendation of the House Select Committee investigating Krasner’s office. The Select Committee’s interim report, released on Monday, makes no mention of a crime and does not recommend impeachment. The articles of impeachment cite “misbehavior in office” as Krasner’s primary charge.  A recommendation of impeachment may still come with the release of the final report.

Kranser maintains that the investigation by House Republicans is politically motivated. In September, the House held Krasner in contempt for not complying with a legislative subpoena.

Democrats are Embracing the Same Police who Surveil and Murder Law Abiding Black People On a Daily Basis – b/c They Know There Will Be No Sanctions from the Emasculated, Powerless Black Votary

BARK AND CLAP NGHR. BLACK POWER(LESS) - THE DECLINE OF BLACK POLITICS IN AMERICA. VOTING AGAINST REPUBLICANS AND FOR NOTHING. NORMAN KELLEY EXPLAINED ‘DEMS HAVE no message or any kind of organizing to deal with the problems faced by black people in America. Nothing beyond "the basic political pabulum that we've been hearing for the last 40 years.

boilerplate liberalism but no legislative initiative. And why would they need one? Democrats know they will suffer no sanctions from disgruntled blacks. This sad state of affairs where black votes are as much as taken for granted by DEMOCRATS is the culmination of 40 years of decline of black politics. In reality, blacks have steadily lost influence and a sense of self-empowerment by ceasing to be organized in any meaningful fashion, having given into pseudo-political mobilization over non-issues such as "atonement" and reparations over the past 20 years. One could even argue that blacks have not been sufficiently organized since the 1960s.’ [MORE]

From [HERE] It’s all over the news, from CNN to Fox News: violent crime, particularly homicides, robberies, and aggravated assaults are continuing to rise after the initial uptick at the start of the global pandemic. From The Seattle Times, to the The New York Times, to the Washington Post, the bourgeois press – aided by right-wing pundits and politicians – is quick to lay blame on the 2020 Justice for George Floyd protests, the largest protest movement in the country, for its role in pressuring Democrats to defund the police.

But this is based on a false assumption that the Democrats have defunded the police. The movement against George Floyd’s police murder and against systemic racism did not achieve the main demands of reappropriating bloated police budgets in favor of community programs and resources, or reforming the police force with greater community oversight. Despite being the largest protests in U.S. history, the movement’s lack of clear structures left it vulnerable to Democratic Party co-optation. [MORE]

k. but lowering police budgets really has nothing to do with a cop’s ability to take your life or interfere with your rights at will. Budgets don’t effect authority. Also there is nothing wrong with armed security and everyone wants to live in safe communities but believing that some persons have the legal and moral right to forcibly control others and that, consequently, citizens have a moral and legal obligation to obey is irrational and the basis of all social evils.

According to FUNKTIONARY:

voting – a pacification (sucker) process which allows the votary to make choices provided to her/him, not decisions. 2) a “privilege” of U.S. citizens to do it behind a curtain—as long as they do it alone. 3) political masturbation exercises for those who can’t cop real power. 4) a habitually accepted imposition that gives the votary-vassal-suckers an illusion of inclusion or participation. 5) an act of self-abuse. People mistake their voting for their voice—as the voice of the people is seldom, if ever, their own. [MORE]

1 in 19 Black People are Disenfranchised. More than 1 in 10 Can’t Vote in 8 States. If They Could Vote Would Their Votes Benefit Black People or White Liberals and the Democratic Party?

ACCORDING TO FUNKTIONARY:

The Electorant – the willfully ignorant electorate—the suckers (voters and “taxpayers”) who delegate and abdicate their power to elected and appointed officials (employees) and the system through which voters’ will is subverted through statutes, laws and policies not approved or even known in the election process. The ‘electorant’ are always ranting and raving about their sordid and assorted conditions when they are responsible for them by being ignorant of the nature of delegated power and its effect, i.e., arbitrary power wielded with impunity and State-sanctioned immunity. The electorant have no recourse but to fuss and talk about change—utterly clueless. All power of the State resides in those who hold the purse strings. Control of the “money” is in the hands of those who further use it to corrupt others in order for one to retain power (dynastic banking cartel families) and the other to remain in power (politician). It is a symbiotic racket and one that continues unabated.

A new report from the Sentencing Project states:

Overview

Laws in 48 states ban people with felony convictions from voting. In 2022, an estimated 4.6 million Americans, representing 2 percent of the voting-age population, will be ineligible to vote due to these laws or policies, many of which date back to the post-Reconstruction era. In this election year, as the United States confronts questions about the stability of its democracy and the fairness of its elections, particularly within marginalized communities, the impact of voting bans on people with felony convictions should be front and center in the debate.

This 2022 report updates and expands upon 20 years of work chronicling the scope and distribution of felony disenfranchisement in the United States (see Uggen, Larson, Shannon, and Pulido-Nava 2020; Uggen, Larson, and Shannon 2016; Uggen, Shannon, and Manza 2012; Manza and Uggen 2006; Uggen and Manza 2002). As in 2020, we present national and state estimates of the number and percentage of people disenfranchised due to felony convictions, as well as the number and percentage of the Black and Latinx populations impacted. Although these and other estimates must be interpreted with caution, the numbers presented here represent our best assessment of the state of felony disenfranchisement as of the November 2022 election.

Among the report’s key findings:

  • An estimated 4.6 million people are disenfranchised due to a felony conviction, a figure that has declined by 24 percent since 2016, as more states enacted policies to curtail this practice and state prison populations declined modestly. Previous research finds there were an estimated 1.2 million people disenfranchised in 1976, 3.3 million in 1996, 4.7 million in 2000, 5.4 million in 2004, 5.9 million in 2010, 6.1 million in 2016, and 5.2 million in 2020.

  • One out of 50 adult citizens – 2 percent of the total U.S. voting eligible population – is disenfranchised due to a current or previous felony conviction.

  • Three out of four people disenfranchised are living in their communities, having fully completed their sentences or remaining supervised while on probation or parole.

  • In three states – Alabama, Mississippi, and Tennessee – more than 8 percent of the adult population, one of every 13 adults, is disenfranchised.

  • Florida remains the nation’s disenfranchisement leader in absolute numbers, with over 1.1 million people currently banned from voting, often because they cannot afford to pay court-ordered monetary sanctions. An estimated 934,500 Floridians who have completed their sentences remain disenfranchised, despite a 2018 ballot referendum that promised to restore their voting rights.

  • One in 19 African Americans of voting age is disenfranchised, a rate 3.5 times that of non-African Americans. Among the adult African American population, 5.3 percent is disenfranchised compared to 1.5 percent of the adult non-African American population.

  • More than one in 10 African American adults is disenfranchised in eight states – Alabama, Arizona, Florida, Kentucky, Mississippi, South Dakota, Tennessee, and Virginia.

  • Although data on ethnicity in correctional populations are unevenly reported and undercounted in some states, a conservative estimate is that at least 506,000 Latinx Americans or 1.7 percent of the voting eligible population are disenfranchised.

  • Approximately 1 million women are disenfranchised, comprising over one-fifth of the total disenfranchised population.
