Are COVID Injections Injuring or Killing 7500 Americans per Day?

New Book Analyzes the Epidemic of Sudden Deaths: Insurance Data Shows that in 2021, People Ages 25 through 64 suddenly experienced 40% excess mortality, compared to 32% in the general population

Story at a glance:

• In his new book, “Cause Unknown: The Epidemic of Sudden Deaths in 2021 and 2022,” former BlackRock fund manager Edward Dowd details data showing the COVID-19 shots are a crime against humanity.

• Insurance industry research in 2016 concluded that group life policyholders die at one-third the rate of the general U.S. population, so they’re the healthiest among us. Group life policyholders are those employed with Fortune 500 companies, who tend to be younger and well-educated.

• In 2020, the general U.S. population had higher excess mortality than group life holders, but in 2021, that flipped. Ages 25 through 64 of the group life policyholders suddenly experienced 40% excess mortality, compared to 32% in the general population. In short, a far healthier subset of the population suddenly died at a higher rate than the general population.

• American disability statistics are equally revealing. In the five years before COVID-19, the monthly disability rate was between 29 million and 30 million. After the COVID-19 jabs, the disability trend changed dramatically. As of September, there were 33.2 million disabled Americans — an extra 3.2 million to 4.2 million — a three-standard deviation rate of change since May 2021.

• Since May 2021, the overall U.S. population has experienced an 11% increase in disabilities, while the employed — which is about 98 million out of a total population of about 320 million — experienced 26% increased rate of disability. So, something was introduced into the workforce that caused working-age people to die.

From [HERE] In the video below, I interview repeat guest Edward (Ed) Dowd, a former analyst and fund manager with BlackRock, the largest asset manager in the world.

With more than $10 trillion in assets, BlackRock wields greater financial power than any country in the world with the exception of the U.S. and China.

Dowd has a knack for seeing trends, and was able to grow the assets he managed during his time at BlackRock from $2 billion to $14 billion. Ten years ago, he left BlackRock, moved to Maui and became an entrepreneur.

More recently, he’s come out as a whistleblower against the COVID-19 shots and Big Pharma corruption.

In our last interview, we discussed the mathematical certainty of a financial collapse, and how COVID-19 provided a convenient smoke screen to hide this reality.

Data reveals crimes against humanity

Dowd has now published a book, “Cause Unknown: The Epidemic of Sudden Deaths in 2021 and 2022,” in which he details the data showing the shots are a crime against humanity.

“When this product [the COVID shots] came to market, I was very suspicious because I know a lot about health care,” Dowd says. “I was on Wall Street and I used to analyze health care stocks. I knew that normal vaccines took seven to 10 years to prove effectiveness and safety.

“This was an experimental vaccine, a nontraditional gene therapy that had never been tested on humans. I read the literature on the animal tests and they were an abomination.

“Then, this thing was approved in 28 days. They got rid of the control group. I knew it was Operation Warp Speed, so I was highly suspicious of this whole thing from the get-go.

“Then in early 2021, I started hearing anecdotes that people were getting sick and/or injured, or died, from distant friends and relatives. I started reading about sudden athlete deaths, [and] suspected the vaccine right away. I didn’t have the data that I have now, but I said to myself, ‘You know, I’m going to look at insurance company results, funeral home results.’

“That eventually led to excess mortality statistics … I’m known as ‘the excess mortality guy’ right now. What I’ve learned through my own personal experience is that Pharma is, on the whole, mostly fraudulent. Most drugs that have been approved by the FDA [U.S. Food and Drug Administration] aren’t really all that safe and effective.

“They have to recall so many drugs every year. The FDA has been wholly captured by the pharma industry. Seventy to 75% of the drug approval pharma arm of the FDA comes from pharma fees, directly from the companies, so this has been corrupted for a long time.

“It’s now exposed primarily because [the COVID shot] is [injuring and killing] such a large amount of people. It’s hard to hide this one … This fraud is unveiled and out there for people to see, but it’s only in the echo chamber. Mainstream media is still beholden to Big Pharma because of all the ad spend and the government policymakers … [who] want this to go away.

“There’s a giant cover-up going on as far as I’m concerned. The data that I’m going to talk about today is there for the global health authorities to see. They see what I see, and at this point it’s negligence, malfeasance, a cover-up and a crime.

“That’s why I’m here, because I don’t believe anybody has a right to tell me what to do with my body, and I can’t believe this actually happened. The numbers I’m going to reveal to you are now a national security concern.”

Group life insurance statistics tell a curious story

Dowd’s concerns are based on a variety of statistics, including but not limited to government mortality and disability data, as well as data from private insurance companies, such as group life insurance data.

As explained by Dowd, group life policies are policies given to large Fortune 500 corporations and mid-sized companies.

Basically, when you start to work at one of these companies, you sign onto a policy from Day 1 that includes a health care plan and life insurance plan (death benefit), which is typically one or two times your annual salary.

The only way you can get a claim on these policies is if you die while employed. If you quit or get fired, you don’t get this claim.

Group life insurance is a lucrative business for insurance companies because the death rates have historically been highly predictable.

In the U.S., the available civilian labor force is about 164 million people in total. Of those, 98 million are actually employed, and of those 98 million, only small subset actually has group life insurance.

“These people are a tiny subset of the 98 million because these are the workers at the best corporations with access to the best health care. They’re highly educated and employed, and you have to have some measure of health to be employed.

“The industry did research in 2016 to determine how healthy this population is compared to the general U.S. population … This report said that in any given year, the group life policyholders die at one-third the rate of the general U.S. population. They experience a third the mortality rate of the general U.S. population, so they’re healthy.

“What happened in 2021 to this group? Well, let’s talk about what happened in 2020. COVID affected everybody, and the general U.S. population experienced more excess mortality from COVID pre-vaccine than the group life holders, so that relationship helped. Well, in 2021 that flipped. Ages 25 through 64 of the group life policyholders, as reported by the Society of Actuaries, experienced 40% excess mortality.

“The general U.S. population in 2021 experienced 32% excess mortality. This is year two of the pandemic with miracle vaccines. Isn’t that interesting? A much healthier subset of the population died at a higher rate than the general population.”

Disability stats reveal jabs are a national security concern

American disability statistics are equally revealing. Every month, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics conducts surveys on disability. In the five years before COVID-19, the monthly disability rate was between 29 million and 30 million. Those are absolute numbers.

After the COVID-19 jabs, starting in May 2021, the disability trend changed dramatically. As of September, there were 33.2 million disabled Americans.

That’s an extra 3.2 million or 4.2 million, depending on whether you’re using the 29 million or 30 million baseline. That’s a three-standard deviation rate of change since May 2021.

A three-standard deviation means that the chance of this happening is 0.03%, so something happened around May 2021 that was highly unusual.

Since then, the overall U.S. population has experienced an 11% rate of increase in disabilities, while the employed — which is about 98 million out of a total population of about 320 million — experienced 26% increased rate of disability.

“So, we have two different databases suggesting the same thing,” Dowd says. “It was detrimental to your health to be employed in 2021 and 2022 … Something is happening to the most able-bodied amongst us, college students, those employed, those in the military, the frontline workers …

“Those who are employed are getting disabled faster than the general U.S. population. That shouldn’t happen. The employed amongst us are healthier, generally speaking … If you have a job, you tend to be able to show up at work. Basically, the bottom line is this. The only explanation for this that I can see is mandates for experimental biological inoculations …

“One of my whistleblowers from the insurance [industry] told me that as of August 2022, the millennial cohort of the group life holders is still experiencing 36% excess mortality.

“People in Fortune 500 companies are dying at a much more excessive rate than those who are not employed there, so this has implications for years to come. It’s a national security concern as far as I can tell … We seem to have poisoned the most able-bodied amongst us through [COVID jab] mandates.”

The same trends are seen in Europe. Excess mortality amongst the young has gone up. In the first year of the pandemic, old people died. In the second year, it suddenly shifted to younger working folks.

A disaster in the making

For now, the excess mortality trend in the U.S. has leveled out between 15% to 20% for the general population. In the U.K. and Europe, the excess mortality trend in the general population is between 10% and 20%.

Meanwhile, American millennials in the workforce with group life policies have an excess death rate of 36% as of August.

As noted by Dowd, if you’re employed at a Fortune 500 company that mandate boosters, it makes sense that your excess mortality will be higher than the general population if the shots are harming people.

Many in the general population are too young to take the shots, are self-employed, work for small companies that aren’t obliged to mandate shots or are retired.

In short, the general population has had greater choice when it comes to taking the shots or not. If these trends continue at this same rate, it’s an absolute disaster for our economy and society at large.

“The CEO of OneAmerica, Scott Davison, said a 10% rise in excess mortality amongst younger-age working people is a three standard deviation event, or a once in a 200-year flood. That’s just 10%. He said the 40% they saw in 2021 was just unfathomable. They couldn’t even calculate what that meant.

“We’re above 10%, so we’re well above the three standard deviation event. What we don’t know is the long-term trends. Anecdotally, one young woman I know, [aged] 30, got it in December 2021.

“She’s presenting with heart issues now, in the month of October [2022]. She’s got a heart rate beat per minute of 30, so she’s got problems. I’m hearing about lots and lots of heart issues in my millennial friends’ circles that have presented themselves well after the shot.”

As detailed in “Is Long-COVID the Elephant in the Room?” recent research from Switzerland found the rate of subclinical myocarditis is hundreds of times more common than clinical myocarditis. In fact, 100% of those who got the jab suffered some level of heart injury, even if they were asymptomatic, as they all had elevated troponin levels (an indicator of or biomarker for heart damage).

Stock trading as an analogy for COVID jab uptake

The good news is that the uptake of the latest bivalent boosters is only 10%, which means 90% of those eligible for it have not gotten it. Hopefully, this is a sign of sanity returning. However, many remain stuck in the pro-mandate box for the simple reason that their egos are wrapped up in it.

Many didn’t take and push the shots for personal health reasons.

As noted by Dowd, “They did it for virtue signaling tribal reasons, and they wanted to feel superior to other people.” To break the spell, they must come to the realization that they were duped, they were fooled and that’s painful.

“If you buy a stock and your investment thesis is proven wrong, what you should do is pull a 180 and sell the stock, because you’re wrong. What I found, even with some of the greatest investors, is that if their ego was attached to it, they would ignore clear evidence that the thesis was compromised.

“Sometimes fraud would even be involved in some of these companies, but they would continue to buy the stock all the way down.

“That’s an analogy for what taking boosters is at this point — taking boosters for a product that doesn’t work at all, doesn’t prevent COVID nor transmission. Let’s say you think it’s safe and effective. But now there are serious safety concerns that are proven, so it’s literally your ego that’s going to kill you. We call that ‘dumb money’ on Wall Street, so think of this like a trade.

“You either long [i.e., take a long position on] the vaccine or short the vaccine. Those of us who didn’t take it are short. Those who are long have an opportunity to pull a 180 on this and not get boosters. That would be the equivalent of selling stock.

“Those who continue to get boosters are getting longer as more and more evidence [against the COVID shots] rolls out. [Editor’s note: In stock trading, a long position is held with the expectation that the stock will rise in value in the future. If the value goes down, you lose money.]

“This is the greatest asymmetric information gap I’ve ever seen in my lifetime, and it’s due to a whole host of factors — media blackouts, government corruption, regulator corruption and ego, people’s individual ego. This is the greatest trade of my lifetime and, what side of the trade do you want to be on?

“My hope is to convince people to cut their losses and stop taking this thing and then look at ways to heal the damage that’s been done. The good news is there does seem to be people working on protocols to at least mitigate and hopefully reverse some of the damage.”

Impacts on US infrastructure

If excess mortality and disability rates remain catastrophically elevated, the impacts on our infrastructure will be severe. Dowd estimates 2 million to 3 million Americans have already been disabled by the shots. Officially, the unemployment rate is 3%, but if you add in the excess disabilities, you find that the real unemployment rate is actually around 6%.

“Why is that important? We have 3% unemployment yet we have help wanted signs everywhere. Well, the reason you have help wanted signs is because people who used to be able to work, able-boded Americans, are no longer able to work, so it’s creating shortages.

“There’s also not complete disability. Some people are sucking it up and dragging their ass to work, but they’re also missing days. A lot of people are calling in and missing days … I can also talk about what I’m seeing with supply chain with automobiles. My car was hit July 14th [2022]. My left headlight panel was destroyed and the radiator was damaged.

“It took 10 days to get a police report because my police department has staff shortages. Then, I called around and there are shortages of parts all across the globe and the body shops are backed up. I couldn’t even get a tow to a body shop until November, so I couldn’t get an estimate to give to my insurance company. I had to do a photo estimate.

“It took them about a month to get back to me, and then when I put in [a claim for] the repairs, my insurance company said, ‘We’re going to junk your car. It’s a total loss. We’ll cut you a check.’ Now, the reason they did that was because they’re making money off my junk car.

“They’re going to sell the parts, [which is why] they gave me more money than the Blue Book value … This is kind of the glacial beginning, what I call the ‘glacial Mad Max’ scenario.

“Goods and services that we used to take for granted are going to start to disappear. Uber Eats, that’s going to go the way of the dodo bird. There’s just not going to be enough people to fill these jobs and it’s going to become increasingly more difficult to get things. Supply chains are already broken. They’re going to become more broken with less people on the margin.

“Remember, supply chains are all done just-in-time. That was a big thing when I was on Wall Street. ‘Just-in-time supply chain, super-efficient.’ Well, just-in-time was algorithmically designed to use the least amount of people. Now, you just need a couple of people to call in sick or disappear, and everything gets backed up. So, this is beginning.

“I think it’s going to get worse and worse. What I’m hearing about the medium-term impacts scare me. Because of the uptake in boosters has lessened, we should have seen excess mortality start to drop into single digits. But it’s not.

“It’s still running [high], and I suspect when the numbers are in from the flu season this winter, excess mortality will trend up again because people’s immune systems are compromised. Illnesses that would have been easy to withstand are going to knock some people out.”

Life expectancy has plummeted

At the end of August, we also discovered that life expectancy in the U.S. dropped precipitously during 2020 and 2021, which further supports the hypothesis that the shots are prematurely killing people. [MORE]

Dr. Stephanie Seneff Explains Why COVID Jabs Are Injuring So Many People

Swissmedic and Vaccinating Doctors Criminally Sued in Switzerland for Authorizing and Administering COVID Shots

From [HERE] The detail-oriented Swiss are taking their medical establishment to task in a big way for authorizing and administering the Covid-19 mRNA jabs, in a formal criminal complaint. 

“That is what the criminal complaint against Swissmedic is about” (SRF, 2022.11.14):

That's what it's all about: On July 14, 2022, a lawyer submitted a 300-page criminal complaint to the responsible cantonal public prosecutor's office on behalf of six people allegedly injured by mRNA vaccinations. It is directed against three representatives of the Swiss licensing and supervisory authority for medicinal products and medical devices (Swissmedic) and five vaccinating doctors from the Inselspital in Bern. A criminal investigation is to be opened against them. The lawyer has now gone public with a media conference.

These are the plaintiffs: The lawyer for those affected, Philipp Kruse, is a declared opponent of vaccination and Covid measures. He represented people who refused to wear masks or parents who didn't want their children to take part in pool tests. Doctors who were noticed as corona skeptics also appeared at the media conference.

This is what the indictment says: The defendants are accused of violating basic drug law due diligence by allowing and administering the Covid 19 vaccination. There are a number of other charges listed, including intentional or possibly negligent bodily harm, endangering life, killing and abortion.

These are the alleged damages: According to lawyer Kruse, the damages range from circular hair loss, derailment of the menstrual cycle to polyarthritis, muscle weakness and chronic exhaustion to the death of a 20-year-old person. Some of the six victims listed are still unable to work. The connection to the Covid 19 vaccination was confirmed by experts in five cases. In the case of the deceased, the causal connection must be proven on the basis of pathological examinations. However, these investigations are not yet complete.

That's what Swissmedic says: Nothing. Swissmedic does not want to comment on the ongoing court proceedings. The Federal Office of Public Health and the Federal Vaccination Commission also do not want to comment.

What may fly under the radar in other countries, in terms of the lack of accountability and responsibility for Covid-19 jabbing injuries, is unlikely to pass muster in Switzerland. The Swiss proud themselves on being OBJECTIVE, diligent, thorough and just. Because of these very high public expectations, it is impossible to sweep under the carpet, gaslight, or outright ignore the laws on the books over there, let’s hope:

It is about these articles of the Medicines Act

Art. 3 Duty of care 1 Anyone who handles medicinal products must take all the necessary measures based on the current state of science and technology to ensure that the health of humans and animals is not endangered.

Chapter 8: Penal Provisions Art. 86233 Crimes and misdemeanors 1 Anyone who willfully: a. manufactures, places on the market, uses, prescribes medicinal products without the necessary authorization or authorization, contrary to the terms and conditions associated with an authorization or authorization or contrary to the due diligence obligations stipulated in Articles 3, 7, 21, 22, 26, 29 and 42, imports, exports or trades abroad; (...).

A New FDA Study Links COVID Shots to Blood Clotting in Older People. But Gov Won’t Take Any Action because Findings “are still under investigation” and [They Are Trying to Kill You]

From [HERE] Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine has been linked to blood clotting in older individuals, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

FDA researchers, crunching data from a database of elderly persons in the United States, found that pulmonary embolism — blood clotting in the lungs — met the initial threshold for a statistical signal and continued meeting the criteria after a more in-depth evaluation.

Three other outcomes of interest — a lack of oxygen to the heart, a blood platelet disorder called immune thrombocytopenia and another type of clotting called intravascular coagulation — initially raised red flags, researchers said.

More in-depth evaluations, such as comparisons with populations who received influenza vaccines, showed those three as no longer meeting the statistical threshold for a signal.

Researchers looked at data covering 17.4 million elderly Americans who received a total of 34.6 million vaccine doses between Dec. 10, 2020, and Jan. 16, 2022.

The study was published by the journal Vaccine on Dec. 1.

The FDA said it was not taking any action on the results because they do not prove the vaccines cause any of the four outcomes, and because the findings “are still under investigation and require more robust study.”

Dr. Peter McCullough, chief medical adviser for the Truth for Health Foundation, told The Epoch Times via email that the new paper “corroborates the concerns of doctors that the large uptick in blood clots, progression of atherosclerotic heart disease, and blood disorders is independently associated with COVID-19 vaccination.”

Pfizer did not respond to a request for comment.

How the research was done

FDA researchers, with assistance from researchers with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), analyzed data from the CMS database.

They included Medicare Fee-for-Service beneficiaries aged 65 or older who received a vaccine within the timeframe, were enrolled when they were vaccinated and were enrolled for a “clean window” of time prior to vaccination. The window was 183 days or 365 days, depending on the outcome.

About 25 million people receive the Medicare Fee-for-Service, but only about 17 million were vaccinated during the period of time studied.

Researchers used probability testing to detect an increased risk of one or more of 14 outcomes following vaccination.

The goal was to see whether vaccination may increase the risk of adverse outcomes, such as pulmonary embolism, or blood clotting in the lungs. If an outcome met a certain statistical threshold, that meant it could increase the risk.

The initial results of the safety monitoring detected an increased risk of four events, the FDA announced on July 12, 2021. They were the same four outlined in the new paper, which is the first update the agency has given on the matter since its announcement.

As of Jan. 15, 2022, 9,065 cases of a lack of oxygen to the heart — known as acute myocardial infarction — were detected, researchers revealed in the new study. As of the same date, 6,346 cases of pulmonary embolism, 1,064 cases of immune thrombocytopenia and 263 cases of coagulation were detected.

The primary analysis showed a safety signal for all four outcomes. Researchers tried adjusting the numbers by using different variables.

For instance, at one point they adjusted for the variation of background rates, or the rates of each outcome in the general population prior to the pandemic. After certain adjustments — not all — the myocardial infarction, immune thrombocytopenia and intravascular coagulation ceased being statistically significant.

Pulmonary embolism, though, continued to be statistically significant, the researchers said. Pulmonary embolism is a serious condition that can lead to death.

Limitations of the study included possible false signals and possible missed signals due to factors such as parameters being specified wrongly.

The conditions that didn’t trigger a signal included stroke, heart inflammation and appendicitis.

The signals were detected only after Pfizer vaccination. Analyses for signals after receipt of the Moderna and Johnson & Johnson vaccines did not show any concerns.

Moderna and Johnson & Johnson did not respond to requests for comment.

Side effects Pfizer vaccine

All three vaccines have been linked to a number of side effects. Heart inflammation is causally linked to the Moderna and Pfizer shots, experts around the world have confirmed, while Johnson & Johnson’s has been associated with blood clots.

Other conditions, such as pulmonary embolism, have been reported to authorities and described in studies, though some papers have found no increase in risk following vaccination.

Approximately 4,214 reports of post-vaccination pulmonary embolism, including 1,886 reports following receipt of Pfizer’s vaccine, have been reported to the U.S. Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, or VAERS, as of Dec. 9.

As of the same date, 1,434 reports of post-vaccination myocardial infarction, including 736 following receipt of Pfizer’s vaccine; 469 reports of post-vaccination immune thrombocytopenia, including 234 following receipt of Pfizer’s vaccine; and 78 reports of post-vaccination intravascular coagulation, including 42 after receipt of Pfizer’s vaccine, have been reported.

Reports to the system can be made by anybody, but most are lodged by healthcare workers, studies show. The number of reports is an undercount, according to studies.

The new study states that the FDA “strongly believes the potential benefits of COVID-19 vaccination outweigh the potential risks of COVID-19 infection.” No evidence was cited in support of the belief.

The FDA is set to meet with its vaccine advisory panel in January 2023 about the future of COVID-19 vaccines, as the vaccines have been performing much worse against Omicron and its subvariants.

McCullough told The Epoch Times:

“A shortcoming of the CMS surveillance system is that it did not capture prior and subsequent SARS-CoV-2 infection which accentuate the cumulative risk of COVID-19 vaccination.

“Given the large number of individuals who have been vaccinated, the population attributable fraction of medical problems ascribed to the vaccines is enormous. I have concerns over the future burden to the healthcare system as a consequence of mass indiscriminate COVID-19 vaccination.” [MORE]

Florida Supreme Court Approves DeSantis Grand Jury to Investigate “Criminal or Wrongful activity” in the Manufacture and Promotion of COVID Injections

From [HERE] Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has asked the Florida Supreme Court to appoint a statewide grand jury to investigate “criminal or wrongful activity” related to the development and promotion of COVID-19 vaccines.

The petition, filed Dec. 13, says grand jurors should consider whether the pharmaceutical industry engaged in “fraudulent practices” by promoting the effectiveness of vaccines for financial gain.

Publications with coverage include Law360, the Associated Press, CNN and Politico.

According to the AP, statewide grand juries in Florida can examine criminal activity. as well as “systemic problems.”

A press release from DeSantis claims that the Biden administration is pushing distribution of mRNA vaccines “through relentless propaganda while ignoring real-life adverse events.” The grand jury petition cites a Florida study showing an increase in cardiac-related deaths among men ages 18 to 39 within 28 days of an mRNA vaccination.

The grand jury petition says Florida has “rejected vaccine mandates and passports,” but some Florida residents chose to get the vaccine because they thought that it would prevent the transmission of COVID-19. They relied on assurances by drugmakers and government officials, the petition says.

According to CNN, DeSantis “has made COVID-19 vaccine skepticism his calling card ahead of a potential run for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination.” The network cited an analysis released Tuesday estimating that vaccines prevented more than 3.2 million deaths and 18.5 million hospitalizations in the United States. The analysis was conducted by the Commonwealth Fund and the Yale School of Public Health.

Politico obtained a statement from Pfizer spokesperson Sharon J. Castillo, who said Pfizer’s vaccine has been approved by regulatory agencies across the world.

“These authorizations are based on robust and independent evaluation of the scientific data on quality, safety and efficacy, including our landmark phase 3 clinical trial,” Castillo wrote. “Data from real-world studies complement the clinical trial data and provide additional evidence that the vaccine provides effective protection against severe disease.”

Suit says Sacramento Police Officers Murdered Sherrano Stingley During Arrest. 3 White Cops Beat and Smothered the Unarmed, Homeless Black Man who was Surrendering, Denied Medical Help for 40 Min

From [HERE] and [HERE] Attorney Mark Merin has filed a civil rights claim on behalf of the family of Sherrano Stingley against former Sacramento Sheriff Scott Jones and other unknown personnel for use of excessive force, unreasonable medical care, assault/battery, negligence and intentional infliction of emotional distress. The claim is the precursor of a federal civil rights suit which will be filed in 45 days.

The family also wants more than just compensation, alleging wrongful death and that Sherrano’s constitutional and civil rights were violated. They want justice, and what that looks like is change from top to bottom, more training and potentially Sacramento County sheriff’s deputies behind bars.

“You can tell that Mr. Stingley was unarmed, he was obviously distressed, he was no threat and yet he ended up dead,” Merin said at a press conference Wednesday. “What we’ve seen so far is one edited video that shows only a part of the story. What we haven’t seen is, what was the sheriff officer doing who was at Mr. Stingley’s head? He didn’t just die of heart failure. He didn’t die of some kind of a preexisting condition. He died because he was killed right there, he was suffocated, he was struck.”

The lone body camera video shows Stingley unconscious around 5:45 a.m.

His family said their father was having a mental health episode and was trying to get into the wrong car and home, which is shown in this video they provided us from a neighbor’s security camera.

The situation unfolded after 5:30 a.m. on Tuesday. The sheriff’s office said they received a call from a person on the 7500 block of Whisperwillow Drive saying there was someone underneath their work vehicle who was attempting to steal their catalytic converter. The caller later said someone was trying to kick in the door to their home and they hid in the garage with their children, according to the sheriff’s office.

Three deputies responded to the call, but the sheriff's office released a single body camera video of one deputy's perspective.

The video shows the man coming out of the front gate of a home and running when he sees deputies. He then shows his hands and sits.

Black Lives Matter Sacramento is calling for all of the audio and video of the incident to be released. Tanya Faison is representing the family on behalf of the organization.

“Tackled at 5:21 a.m. and the EMT did not get there until 6:02 a.m. and that whole time while they waited, they did not give him any CPR,” said Faison.

On the Black Lives Matter Facebook page, photos appear to show wounds on Stingley’s palm and neck that the Stingley family said are from being tased. At the end of the bodycam video, a discharged taser is seen being looked at by deputies.

Stingley’s daughter Dymin wants justice for her father.

“He got down and his hands were behind his head, and they were still striking him,” she said. He never hit anybody or wrestled anybody to the floor at all. [Deputies] sentenced him to death and y’all didn’t even know if he [was] guilty. He was not guilty at all.”

“He did not die on his own. He did not die from nothing else but being brutally beaten cause that’s what he got and suffocated, another George Floyd,” said Dymin Stingley.

“(This is) another example of cruel and inhuman vicious treatment by callous sheriff deputies against an obviously mentally ill Black man in Sacramento who needed care and treatment instead of brutal deadly force,” said Tanya Faison, executive director of Sacramento Black Lives Matter, which is supporting the Stingley family’s quest for justice.

Attorney Mark Merin says this is Sheriff Cooper’s opportunity to change the policy practices of the department, calling for suspension of the deputies and an outside investigation.

“Sheriffs are never charged, officers are never charged when they kill somebody, and that has to change and it will change,” said Merin.

Stingley’s sister Dr. Andrea Moore also wants medical investigators to look into the case. The family said that Stingley died in police custody.

“It is a tragedy that once again another family has to deal with this, and the police are blaming the victim for their own killing.”

Merin said the county has 45 days to attempt to resolve the claim, but he believes it will be rejected and then they will file in federal court.

In federal court, it will be a federal civil rights claim and they will attach constitutional state claims. They will also be seeking compensation for the family.

Stingley's family is raising money for a memorial service and independent autopsy.

Jury Finds White DC Officer Guilty of 2nd Degree Murder for Killing Karon Hylton Brown. During a Chase Over a Traffic Stop, White Cop Forced Black Man on a Moped Into a Deadly Collision with an SUV

From [HERE] Two D.C. police officers were found guilty of obstructing justice and one of them was convicted of second-degree murder Wednesday in connection with a 2020 vehicular chase that killed a young Black man on a moped and sparked destructive civil unrest by hundreds of demonstrators outside a city police station.

After deliberating for five days in a trial that began Oct. 25, a jury in U.S. District Court in Washington found Officer Terence Sutton, 38, guilty of second-degree murder in the death of 20-year-old Karon Hylton-Brown, who crashed his rented moped during a pursuit that prosecutors said violated police policy and was conducted in an illegally reckless fashion.

Sutton and his co-defendant, Lt. Andrew Zabavsky, were convicted of conspiracy and obstructing justice in what authorities said was an attempt to cover up the chase and the seriousness of the crash on the night of Oct. 23, 2020. Jurors returned guilty verdicts on all charges against the officers, both of whom are White. Zabavsky, 54, was not charged directly in Hylton-Brown’s death.

At a time of raw racial tensions nationwide following the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis in May 2020, the crowd that massed outside the D.C. police department’s 4th District station four nights after the crash was incensed by what it perceived as fatal police misconduct against a young Black man. Protesters broke windows of the station, vandalized police cars and clashed with officers in riot gear, who countered with pepper pellets and stun grenades.

“This has been a difficult case; this has been a contentious case,” Judge Paul L. Friedman told a throng of spectators in his courtroom shortly before 5 p.m. Wednesday, while the jury waited to file in with its verdicts. “Emotions have run high on both sides,” he said in admonishing people in the gallery to remain quiet during the proceeding.

Hylton-Brown’s mother, Karen Hylton, had been ejected from the courtroom early in the trial for openly sobbing during testimony. After the verdicts were read, she erupted in rage, rising from her seat and bellowing obscenities at the two defendants as a bevy of deputy U.S. marshals dragged her from the courtroom kicking and thrashing.

In the circumstances of this case, second-degree murder carries a maximum penalty of 40 years in prison, although advisory sentencing guidelines used by the court almost certainly will recommend a much lesser term. Obstruction of justice is punishable by up to 20 years in prison, and conspiring to obstruct justice carries a maximum two-year sentence.

The three-minute pursuit, in the Brightwood Park neighborhood of Northwest Washington, began at 10:08 p.m. when Sutton, driving an unmarked car with three other plainclothes officers as passengers, attempted to stop the moped that Hylton-Brown was riding. The chase, along a circuitous route in a four-block area, ended when the moped collided with an SUV, and Hylton-Brown suffered fatal head injuries.

While Sutton conducted the chase, Zabavsky drove a marked police vehicle on parallel streets, trying to get ahead of the moped rider and cut him off, authorities said.

When Hylton-Brown darted out of the alley, with Sutton close behind him, the moped collided with a Toyota Scion traveling on Kennedy Street NW. Hylton-Brown was propelled into the air, landing on the pavement and suffering a catastrophic brain injury, according to an autopsy.

Much of the testimony over nearly two months came from experts on D.C. police regulations on vehicular pursuits and the myriad rules for how officers should act toward people suspected of wrongdoing. Jurors were left to answer a few key questions.

Did Sutton violate police policy by chasing Hylton-Brown, and, in a prosecutor’s words, did he carry out the pursuit with “a conscious disregard of extreme danger of death or serious bodily injury” to the moped rider? The allegation that Sutton caused Hylton-Brown’s death through illegal recklessness was the basis for the second-degree murder charge against him.

“That man right there,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Ahmed M. Baset told jurors at the start of the trial, gesturing to Sutton at the defendants’ table. “He murdered Karon Hylton-Brown. … He did it with his police car.”

But J. Michael Hannon, Sutton’s defense attorney, argued that the chase was justified because officers had reason to believe that Hylton-Brown was up to no good that night, and he argued that the young man should not have tried to elude the officers. “If he had stopped, he’d be alive today,” Hannon told the jury. “He chose not to. He might have been arrested with a weapon. He might have been arrested with drugs. But he’d be alive.”

In the final seconds of the chase, prosecutors said, Sutton slowed behind the moped in an alley, turning off the police vehicle’s siren and emergency lights, then suddenly accelerated toward Hylton-Brown in an effort to “flush” him out of the alley and into oncoming traffic. “This was a game for Mr. Sutton,” Baset told jurors. “He knew he was playing a game of chicken with Mr. Hylton-Brown,” which caused the young man’s death.

At the 4th District station on Georgia Avenue NW later that evening, Baset said, the officers misled their shift commander by describing the crash as relatively insignificant, downplaying Hylton-Brown’s injuries and omitting any mention of a chase. Sutton also wrote an initial draft of a police report that gave a false account of what had happened, Baset said.

He said the officers’ goal was to forestall an in-depth investigation of the incident, but the plan failed when Hylton-Brown’s injuries proved to be fatal. But Hannon and Christopher Zampogna, Zabavsky’s attorney, argued that the evidence in this trial showed the officers behaved properly at the crash scene and did nothing afterward to intentionally conceal their actions.

Ben Crump Files Lawsuit for Eric Cole's Family. Ohio Cop Ran Over Black Man with Police Car After Dispatch Failed to Inform Cops "He Was Lying in the Middle of the Street"

From [HERE] Renowned civil rights and personal injury attorney Ben Crump and his team announced Tuesday that they have filed a lawsuit against Springfield police Officer Amanda Rosales and two police dispatchers on behalf of the family of Eric Cole.

According to the lawsuit, Rosales fatally ran over 42-year-old Cole with her police SUV on June 13, 2021.

The lawsuit also names dispatchers Erin Reynolds and Mary Herge as defendants.

The lawsuit alleges that both dispatchers recklessly failed to properly relay Cole's location to officers responding to the scene, as well as to other dispatchers.

According to court documents, Reynolds and Herge each spoke to Cole after he was shot in the shoulder during a domestic dispute, left the scene, and called 911 for help.

While Herge was on the phone with Cole, he said multiple times, "I'm in the middle of the street."

The complaint quotes dialogue between the two dispatchers later in their shift that night in which Herge asked Reynolds, "Did you let them know he was in the middle of the street?" Reynolds then replied, "I didn't see it."

According to the complaint, Reynolds did not use the police radio to alert officers responding to the scene that Cole was lying in the street, instead only providing that information via the CAD (computer-aided dispatch) system, which provides dispatch information via text to officer computers.

Dash camera footage shows that as Rosales approached where Eric was lying down in the street, suffering trauma from his gunshot wound, his white shirt was illuminated by her vehicle's headlights, the lawsuit said.

Rosales struck Cole with her police cruiser. He died of blunt force trauma to the torso about three hours later, court documents stated.

The complaint alleges that Rosales contributed to Cole's wrongful death by failing to learn from the CAD that he was in the middle of the street.

Springfield police and Clark County dispatchers did not tell the responding EMS medics that Eric had been run over, and the medics did not find out until days later from news reports.

After learning from news reports days later that Cole had been run over, all five medics added notes to the initial EMS report detailing that none of them had been advised that Cole had been hit by a vehicle, documents stated.

In the lawsuit, Cole's family said the police failure to promptly notify EMS that Cole had been run over prevented him from receiving life-saving medical care.

"Eric Cole leaves behind three children who will never see their father again because of the action and inaction of Springfield Police officers and Clark County dispatchers. If these defendants had performed their jobs as if lives were at stake, Eric might be here today," Crump said. "Instead, these individuals responded to Eric with reckless disregard for his life, which resulted in an SUV running him over — information that was not communicated to EMS. Eric gasped for air and said the all-too-familiar and tragic words, 'I can't breathe,' as life left his body."

The Springfield Police Department did not disclose what happened to Eric's family for a day and a half.

The lawsuit also states the police department's incident reports, showed no officers indicated that one of their own had run over Cole.

The family said the Springfield Police Department told the truth about Cole's cause of death only after a coroner revealed that it was blunt force trauma from the police cruiser, not the survivable gunshot wound to the shoulder.

In Liberal NYC Two Cops Face Only Administrative Penalties If Found Liable for Driving their Police Cruisers Into a Crowd and Hitting People to Silence Protests Over the Police Murders of Black People

From [HERE] Two NYPD officers accused of driving into a crowd during the 2020 protests following the murder of George Floyd will stand trial before an administrative judge Wednesday. It’s one of the last cases still unresolved out of hundreds of complaints filed against officers who responded to the mass demonstrations.

The Civilian Complaint Review Board has charged officers Daniel Alvarez and Andrey Samusev with violating the New York Police Department’s use of force policy when they plowed their patrol cruisers into a throng of protesters blocking Flatbush Avenue in Brooklyn. A video of the incident went viral.

Video of the incident sparked outrage among many protesters and those who watched the video online.

Brooklyn resident Aaron Ross, who was in the crowd that day and filed a complaint with the CCRB, told Gothamist earlier this year that he felt both “validated” and “disgusted” when investigators determined that the officers were in the wrong.

“It’s so ironic because we were there to protest against police brutality and then we became victims of police brutality ourselves,” Ross said at the time.

Some officials, however, stood by the police response.

Then-Mayor Bill de Blasio scolded the protesters after watching the video, saying that it was “inappropriate” for them to surround a police vehicle and threaten police — something that he claimed had never happened before in the city’s history.

“The video was upsetting, and I wish the officers hadn’t done that,” he said during a press conference at the time. “But I also understood that they didn’t start this situation. This situation was started by a group of protesters converging on a police vehicle, attacking that vehicle. It’s unacceptable.”

Former NYPD Commissioner Dermot Shea also defended the officers during questioning from Attorney General Letitia James. He said he did not believe Alvarez and Samusev had violated department policy, because they were “penned in by protesters.”

The Police Benevolent Association, which represents rank and file officers, did not immediately respond to a request for comment about Wednesday’s trial

The CCRB has spent more than two years investigating over 300 complaints and thousands of allegations related to the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests. Those investigations stalled as officers refused to sit for in-person interviews during much of the COVID-19 pandemic. Investigators also struggled to parse through countless hours of body camera footage and identify officers whose names weren’t included in complaints.

However, in April, the CCRB substantiated Ross’s allegations against both Alvarez and Samusev, finding that they struck him with their vehicle and recommending charges against them. If found guilty, both officers could face a loss of vacation days or termination.

As of May, investigators had found evidence that officers had violated policy in 87 of the complaints stemming from the 2020 protests, while the NYPD had imposed discipline against 18 officers. After months of delays, the CCRB is expected to release a comprehensive report on its protest investigations early next year.

Liberal Authorities in Minn Settle with 12 Protesters Injured by Cops b/c They Were Protesting Against the Police Murders of Black People [Nothing Has Changed. Cops Still Kill Someone Every 8 Hours]

Nothing Has Changed Since George Floyd Died, US Cops Still Kill Someone Every 8 Hours [if you Delegate your "Public Servant" the Power to Forcibly Control You, is He Still Your Servant?]

From [HERE] The city of Minneapolis has reached a $600,000 settlement with 12 protesters who were injured during demonstrations after the May 2020 police killing of George Floyd, the American Civil Liberties Union announced Wednesday.

The agreement, which also includes numerous reforms, was accepted the same day by a federal judge, making it official after the city approved it in October.

The settlement includes an injunction that bars the city from arresting, threatening to arrest or using physical force — including chemical sprays, flash bang or concussion grenades and foam tipped bullets — against people who are engaging in lawful protests. It also limits officers' use of chemical agents to disperse peaceful demonstrators. And it requires that officers have their body cameras recording and unobstructed while at protests, according to the ACLU.

The money will be split among the plaintiffs.

Floyd, a Black man, was killed on May 25, 2020, when then-Officer Derek Chauvin, who is white, knelt on his neck for 9 1/2 minutes during an arrest. Video of the restraint was recorded by a bystander and viewed around the world, sparking global protests as part of a broader reckoning over racial injustice.

In Minnesota, the protests lasted for days. While most demonstrators were peaceful, some damaged buildings and set fires, even burning a police station.

Two lawsuits filed in 2020 and later consolidated accused Minneapolis police of using unnecessary and excessive force against protesters. They alleged that police used tear gas as well as foam and rubber bullets to intimidate them and quash the demonstrations, and also that officers often fired without warning or giving orders to leave.

The plaintiffs' injuries included bruising from less-lethal munitions, lingering respiratory issues from tear gas and psychological trauma that has chilled their desire to protest in the future, the ACLU said.

"Tear gas, foam bullets and pepper spray became weapons for intimidating and hurting protesters, making it dangerous for people to exercise their First Amendment rights," ACLU-MN legal director Teresa Nelson said in a statement. "We hope this settlement sends a message to law enforcement across Minnesota that this violation of our constitutional rights will not be tolerated."

City Attorney Kristyn Anderson said the City Council approved the settlement Oct. 20 and Mayor Jacob Frey approved it six days later. Anderson said her office filed necessary documents and an order reflecting portions of the settlement was made public Wednesday.

Niggerizing You for Safety: Discrimination Charged After Grand Rapids Cops Unlawfully Searched, Detained Black Kids @ Gun Point. MDCR Claims Cops Never Treat Similarly Situated White Kids the Same Way

From [HERE] The state’s civil rights watchdog is filing additional charges of racial discrimination against the Grand Rapids Police Department.

The Michigan Department of Civil Rights (MDCR) announced Wednesday four new charges against GRPD stemming from the gunpoint handcuffing and detainment of two Black 11-year-olds in August 2018.

The agency is alleging unequal treatment in public service on the basis of race and sex.

“The Grand Rapids Police Department was unable to show evidence of any white children who were similarly held at gunpoint, handcuffed, searched, placed in a squad car and questioned in response to a 911 call and no allegation of a crime,” said John Johnson, director of the MDCR.

“The Grand Rapids Police Department provided no evidence that they treat individuals of another race the same in similar circumstances.”

Grand Rapids officials said they have not yet been served with the latest charges.

The new charges join two other racial discrimination charges filed by the MDCR this summer stemming from the gunpoint handcuffing of Honestie Hodges and the detainment of a compliant Black motorist.

Those cases are still working through pre-hearing motions. They’re among two dozen other discrimination complaints the agency is investigating.

The incident that prompted the latest charges happened on Aug. 26, 2018, and it involved Grand Rapids police detaining and handcuffing two Black children, 11-year-old brothers Martrell and Martrez Coston, and a Black teen, age 17, at gunpoint.

Police previously released bodycam footage of the incident, which can be seen below.

The discrimination charges are related to the treatment of the two younger children, as the boys’ mother, Juanita Ligon, filed a complaint with the MDCR on their behalf. No one filed a complaint for the 17-year-old.

The MDCR is alleging GRPD discriminated against each of the 11-year-olds on the basis of both race and sex, prompting four charges in total.

The evening of Aug. 26, 2018 police were responding to a report of two or more Black youths walking around with a gun on the city’s Southeast Side in the area of Alto Avenue SE and Griggs Street SE.

Johnson said the 911 caller “repeatedly” identified the weapon as a toy gun, but police officials at the time said it was identified to them as a handgun. huh?

The 911 caller told dispatchers she was “sure it’s not a gun,” according to the MDCR’s court filing. That filing also states that two officers were dispatched with information that one of the youths was “carrying possibly a toy gun, not sure.”

“It is important to note that, No. 1, there was no initial crime reported; there’s nothing illegal about two children walking near train tracks with what the 911 caller identified repeatedly as a toy gun,” Johnson said.

The boys were stopped shortly after the dispatch call about half a mile away, with two of the boys matching the partial description received by officers of one wearing a red shirt and another wearing a black shirt, then-police chief David Rahinsky previously said.

Despite their compliance, Johnson said, the boys were held at gunpoint by officers. And after officers found no gun or illegal items, they continued to detain and question the youths, he said.

Johnson said officers detained and questioned the boys for around 20 minutes before contacting a parent or guardian. He said the younger boys had identified their age and provided contact information for a parent.

At the time of the incident, the former police chief defended his officers’ actions, saying they worked to quickly de-escalate the situation and used the “most reasonable and least restrictive measures consistent with public safety.”

“When the allegation is someone has a firearm, the response has to be appropriate,” Rahinsky said at the time. “Once officers learned that’s not the case, the youths are un-handcuffed within a minute, their grandfather is contacted, and I think the conversation that ensures shows the officer’s compassion in explaining what happened and why.”

Elite racists worship "procedural due process" and other superficialities within the lex-icon of their lawless legal system. When the only product of the criminal justice system is the appearance of justice, how things look and sound is really important to those in charge of fooling others. In light of the fact that the moms have gone public to denounce the cops actions, it appears that police & media have blurred out the faces of the chldren in the videos not to protect them - but to mitigate damage from these fucked up images.  FUNKTIONARY explains:  

lex-icon [law as image- the appearance of justice (the form) over the substance of justice via truth and law over humanity.

Lawless Society - a socio-juristic human relation confliguration where law is upheld, codified, and deified over humanity. If you fear or worry about its advent, you'll certainly never recognize its presence. 2) a Police State of the Overruling Class."  Dr. Blynd states, "the difference between an outlaw and a lawman is mainly on paper - not on principle." 

Niggerized - "unsafe, unprotected, subjected and subjugated to random violence, hated for who you are to the point you become so scared that you defer to the powers that be while willing to consent to your own domination." - quoting Dr. Cornell West 

An MDCR spokesperson previously told MLive/The Grand Rapids Press that the “charges” issued aren’t criminal charges, but start an administrative process. There’s first an opportunity for mediation between Grand Rapids police and the complaint-maker, but with no resolution it could go to an administrative law judge.

That judge would then make a recommendation to the Michigan Civil Rights Commission, which would make a final determination. The determination could include monetary penalties and procedure changes to prevent discrimination.

Hearing dates for the latest charges against GRPD have not yet been set.

The MDCR in May 2019 announced it had opened an investigation into the GRPD pertaining to individual discrimination complaints against the department as well as whether police has engaged in a pattern of racial discrimination.

It wasn’t until July 2022 that the MDCR announced its first charges of individual discrimination against the police department.

82 yr Old Black Woman Arrested for $77 Unpaid Trash Bill in Alabama [b/c every Law is a Command Backed by the Threat of Violence in a Legal System Based Entirely on Force, Not Our Voluntary Consent]

From [HERE] Two police officers from the City of Valley, Alabama, arrested 82-year-old at her home Sunday for failure to pay a $77 trash bill.

The officers handcuffed Ms. Menefield, a Black woman who told a reporter Thursday that the cuffs were heavy. One of the officers told her not to cry as they put her in the back of their squad car.

“I’m just happy my grandkids weren’t here to see that,” Ms. Menefield said tearfully. “That would have upset them. I was so ashamed. And it’s been bothering me.”

Valley police chief Mike Reynolds defended the arrest, saying in a Facebook post that the officers were required to enforce the arrest warrant after Ms. Menefield did not appear in court in response to a citation for non-payment of trash services.

Ms. Menefield, who has lived in the same house for nearly 30 years, said she thought the bill had been paid and she never received a notice to appear in court. If her trash bill wasn’t paid, she said, they should have suspended her trash pickup. Arresting her, she said, was unjust and unnecessary.

Commenters on Facebook agreed, expressing outrage about Ms. Menefield’s arrest. One commentor wrote: “That is a seriously disgusting and hateful thing to do. What a shame officials think that this is okay.”

Ms. Menefield’s daughter, Neketti Tucker, told WIAT that failure to pay a trash bill should never be considered a crime. “This isn’t a criminal act,” she said, adding that multiple people have tried to pay her mother’s bill but staff have not allowed them to do so.

Ms. Menefield was taken to the Valley Police Department and placed in a cell for processing. “I was in a little cage-like thing at the police station,” she said. “And I said ‘Y’all put me in this cage? You ought to be ashamed of yourself.'”

How Much Force is Too Much in a Legal System where All Laws/Commands are Backed by the Threat of Violence?

Statists (one who believes in “government”) are confounded by incidents like the above; outraged by it but they really can’t figure out why. There was no police brutality or use of excessive force and no facts to indicate that Ms. Menefield was targeted because she was Black or that old white people aren’t treated the same fucked up way. So whats really wrong? The arrest may seem petty and therefore avoidable but it’s a reflection of the reality that 1) we live in a free range prison - a legal system based entirely on physical violence not voluntary consent and 2) we advocate for violence against others through our irrational belief in and blind obedience to authority.

Contrary to all lofty legal pronouncements and propaganda the legal system is entirely based on physical force/violence, not voluntary consent. Every law or order from authorities is a command backed by the threat of violence against those who do not comply – here, we mean violence by forced confiscation of property [payment of fines] or arrest or prison. Said threat of violence includes the ability and willingness of authorities to use deadly force against those who disobey. All “choices” presented to citizens in the free range prison are false; you either comply or go to jail or die. Locke states, “The lie of tyranny is that you will maintain the freedom of life by obeying authority. The choices it offers you are a lifetime of obedience or death.” FUNKTIONARY states, “There is no freedom in the presence of so-called authority.” You may believe you freely choose to pay taxes or trash fees but you’re just creating a placebo for yourself, making your slavery go down smoother. Mind control aside, the only reality is to comply with authority or eventually authorities will place you in greater confinement.

Relations between the Government and individuals are NOT based upon mutual, voluntary agreement, in which either side is free to opt out of the arrangement. Government service is undeclinable, provided on a compulsory basis. Dr. Blynd makes it plain, “government very simply is one man violently controlling the life and property of another man.” In some places this violent control is “decreed” to be for the latter’s “own good” and “protection” and hailed as the “best system in the world.” Because it’s based on violence, there are no voluntary associations. You may recognize that violent control over a man’s life and property is what we like to call—slavery. Slavery is a form of government, and in most cases, if not all, synonymous with “government.” Ms. Menefield fucked around and found out what happens when you don’t comply with authority. She disobeyed the law and was sanctioned by authorities. Hopefully, this incident brought her out of her delusion of being “free,” but after a lifetime of false consciousness programming that is doubtful. According to a “journalist” at CBS, “in the time since her arrest, Menefield has been thinking deeply about God’s role in her life. “I’ve been questioning God a little bit, I guess cause I’ve been so upset. I had a daycare here for eight years, and I’ve been asking the Lord. I say ‘Why did this happen to me as much as I’ve done for people, Lord? I’ve paid my tithes every Sunday. I ushered at church. I was just questioning. Something’s just not right.”

Pursuant to statist logic without the threat of violence, lawbreakers such as Ms. Menefield could simply choose not to suffer punishment.’ Michael Huemer details the mechanics of the chain of authority, ‘Commands from authorities such as the warnings Ms. Menefield received, are often enforced with threats to issue further commands, yet that cannot be all there is to it. At the end of the chain must come a threat that the violator literally cannot defy. The system as a whole must be anchored by a non-voluntary intervention, a harm that the state can impose regardless of the individual’s choices. That anchor is provided by physical force. Even the threat of imprisonment requires enforcement: how can the state ensure that the criminal goes to the prison? The answer lies in coercion, involving actual or threatened bodily injury, or at a minimum, physical pushing or pulling of the individual’s body to the location of imprisonment. This is the final intervention that the individual cannot choose to defy. One can choose not to pay a fine, one can choose to drive without a license, and one can even choose not to walk to a police car to be taken away. But one cannot choose not to be subjected to physical force if the agents of the state decide to impose it.’

The legal system is not voluntary or consensual and there is no way to opt out or decline participation in it; we are born into an involuntary system of physical coercion where you either obey authority or eventually authoritarians will place you in greater confinement or murder you.

Statists are also confounded by Ms. Menefield’s arrest because they are responsible for it due to their belief in authority. As explained, every “law” is a threat, backed by the ability and willingness to use deadly force against those who disobey. As such, when statists advocate for new laws or for the enforcement of law or when they obey the law or vote they inadvertently advocate for violence and oppression against themselves and others.

Here, after failing to pay trash fines and responding to warnings from authorities, the police arrested her and detained her – as they were authorized to do by voters. That is, elected authorities at some point created a law that authorized the government to fine or arrest for a failure to pay trash fines. The creation of laws perpetuates violence because law and authority are violence = force will be used on those disobey.

Larken Rose observes “the belief in authority leads to a strange contradiction in how people see the world. Almost everyone advocates that “law” be used to coerce others to do certain things, or to fund certain things. However, while advocating such violence, knowing full well the consequences to any who are caught disobeying, those same advocates fail to recognize that what they are advocating is violence. There are millions, for example, who consider themselves to be peaceful, civilized people – some even proudly wear the label of “pacifist” – while advocating armed robbery against everyone they know, as well as millions of strangers. They see no contradiction, because the robbery is given the euphemism “taxation” and is carried out by people who are imagined to have the right to commit robbery, in the name of “government.”

The level of denial which the belief in “authority” creates is profound. When advocating “political” violence, people accept no responsibility for the results.”

Here, statists should be uneasy about the assault, false imprisonment and kidnapping of Ms. B because they are responsible for it. Undoubtedly however, they will blame the government. FUNKTIONARY explains, “The disappearance of a sense of responsibility is the most far-reaching consequence of submission to authority.”

Similarly, the police officers’ conduct in this matter was evil; handcuffing a person posing no threat to anyone, taking them against their will and putting them in a cage is foul shit. It makes no difference that that they functioned as so-called representatives of authority.

Authority cannot transform evil into good. Acts that would be considered unjust or immoral when performed by citizens are just as unjust or morally unacceptable when performed by representatives of authority.

Here, if no law existed then the actions of the police would be seen as immoral and a criminal assault, false imprisonment and kidnapping. However, due to the belief in authority the conduct of the police is perceived as lawful and moral. Such belief is your enslavement.

The police officer’s right to attack others is evil. ‘Right to attack’ means the cop’s uncontrollable and absolute power to commit unprovoked assaults, non-consensual touching, stopping, searching and ordering or forcing humans against their own volition or killing them – the stuff of slavery.

To be clear, all persons have the natural right to defend themselves and come to the defense of others if they believe another person is in imminent danger from an aggressor. Private security workers and guards also work under said natural law.

In contrast, police officers also have the extra or additional “power” to act as offensively as aggressors; the right to attack people or initiate unprovoked acts of violence against people whenever they deem it necessary. Police are said to have such powers when they are acting on behalf of “authority.” As such, “citizens” police are permitted to lawfully attack (make arrests) people, touch them against their will, assault them, interfere with freedoms in many ways, kidnap people (detain and transport) or imprison them because higher authorities have empowered them to do so. In turn, people are said to have a moral and legal obligation to obey police commands and have no right to even resist an unlawful arrest in most states.

The problem is that there is no rational basis for authority, no logical way to account for its existence and it has no meaning in reality because it does not come from people nor is it derived from any natural source. FUNKTIONARY explains that Authority, the basis for all governments and rulership, is a farce. Government “authority” can be summed up as the implied right to rule over people. It is the government’s ability and moral right to forcibly control citizens, its right to be obeyed and the citizen’s corresponding moral and legal obligation to obey.’ Authority requires that government’s laws, commands and orders to be obeyed on a content-neutral basis (regardless of whether they agree or not.) [MORE] Michael Huemer defines political authority as “the hypothesized moral property in virtue of which governments may coerce people in certain ways not permitted to anyone else and in virtue of which citizens must obey governments in situations in which they would not be obligated to obey anyone else.” Said hypothesized moral property makes government the supreme authority over human affairs.

All governmental power allegedly comes exclusively from the people. Citizens delegate their individual power to government and it’s representatives for them to represent citizens. Such representation works much in the same way agents represent their principals in all kinds of business or other contractual relationships. For instance, a manager at McDonalds represents the owner of McDonalds when she carries out the owners business everyday ordering inventory and hiring workers, etc. She is the agent, the owners are the principals. Naturally, an agent only can possess whatever powers the principal gave to her. For instance, you grant the babysitter access and power to use your living room but not the basement. And it goes without saying that an agent cannot have more power than the principal because all said power originated exclusively from the principal.

Inexplicably, the government has granted itself the authority to do things that no individual could do. While citizens have the inalienable right to act in self-defense or come to the defense of others, citizens have no right to initiate unprovoked acts of violence on other people and no right to forcibly control other people. As such, it is logically impossible for citizens to delegate the right to forcibly control others to the government - because citizens cannot possibly delegate rights that they don’t have. In other words, if you don’t have the right to initiate unprovoked acts of violence against other people then you cannot delegate or authorize anyone else acting on your behalf to do so. Clearly for example, your neighbor has no right to stop, detain, kidnap you and then lock you in a cage bec ause you failed to pay your trash bill. So, how could your neighbors delegate a government representative the power to do so?

Larken Rose explains, ‘in the case of “government,” the people whom the politicians claim to represent have no right to do anything that politicians do: impose “taxes,” enact “laws,” etc. Average citizens have no right to forcibly control the choices of their neighbors, tell them how to live their lives, and punish them if they disobey, So when a “government” does such things, it is not representing anyone or anything but itself.’ As stated, it is a logical and legal impossibility for a representative to have more power than the person he is representing. Rose explains, “you can’t give someone something you don’t have.” Rose states;

“Despite all of the complex rituals and convoluted rationalizations, all modern belief in “government” rests on the notion that mere mortals can, through certain political procedures, bestow upon some people various rights which none of the people possessed to begin with. The inherent lunacy of such a notion should be obvious. There is no ritual or document through which any group of people can delegate to someone else a right which no one in the group possesses. And that self-evident truth, all by itself, demolishes any possibility of legitimate “government.”

Rose explains if those in “government” have only those rights possessed by those who elected them, then “government” loses the one ingredient that makes it “government”: the right to rule over others (”authority”). If it has the same rights and powers as everyone else, there is no reason to call it “government.” If the politicians have no more rights than you have, all of their demands and commands, all of their political rituals, “law” books, courts, and so on, amount to nothing more than the symptoms of a profound delusional psychosis. Nothing they do can have any legitimacy, any more than if you did the same thing on your own, unless they somehow acquired rights that you do not have. And that is impossible, since no one on earth, and no group of people on earth, could possibly have given them such superhuman rights.” [MORE]

FUNKTIONARY explains authority ‘has no meaning in reality. It is rule through coercion. Government is control of the mind and “authority is the means by which society uses to control its population.”

Michael Huemer states, “political authority is an illusion: no one has the right to rule, and no one is obliged to obey a command merely because it comes from their government.” Similarly Trent Goodbaudy describes authority as a “statist delusion.” He states, “We are stuck in an illusory construct that only exists in a diseased psyche. There really are no rulers and no masters anyway; just claims of authority, and acceptance of these claims by the brainwashed. There really is no government other than what you choose to be governed by: they only have the authority that you grant them.” As explained by FUNKTIONARY, “The real threat to “authority” is the masses overcoming info-gaps and verigaps through self-knowledge and the proliferation of symbols of opposition, not crime or destruction of property.

It further states, “We don’t violently overthrow government, rather we silently and organically outgrow it in its current form as we know it. Where there is no energy for conflict upon which to feed, it starves itself into oblivion or becomes malnourished to the point of ineffectual irrelevance.”

Where a critical mass of individuals see authority for what it is – a granfalloon, an irrational belief that is self-contradictory and evil, contrary to civilization and morality that “constitutes the most dangerous, destructive superstition that has ever existed”- they will drop it like a wooden coin or dangerous “booster.”

Always Only the Appearance of Justice in the Lex-icon. From [HERE] and [HERE] A Union Parish, Louisiana, grand jury Thursday indicted five Louisiana State Police (LSP) officers relating to the 2019 death of Black driver Ronald Greene in police custody. Greene died on a roadside in northeast Louisiana, and authorities initially ruled that his death was the result of a car crash. However, suppressed body camera footage soon emerged showing the officers in question beating, stunning and dragging Greene.

In the video, which led to a US Department of Justice review of the agency and the incident, Greene screamed, “I’m scared.” The review will also examine whether Governor John Bel Edwards (a white democrat) knew about the circumstances of Greene’s death and whether he was involved with efforts to bury the video evidence.

It took 474 days for state police to launch an internal inquiry and officials from Gov. John Bel Edwards on down refused to release body camera video for more than two years. That was until the AP obtained and published it in May, showing white troopers beating Greene and dragging him by his ankle shackles, even as he pleaded for mercy and wailed, “I’m your brother! I’m scared! I’m scared!”

According to KNOE’s Alyssa Azzara, who was present in the courtroom when the grand jury decision was announced, the officers were charged as follows:

• LSP Trooper Kory York faces one count of negligent homicide and 10 counts of malfeasance in office;

• LSP Trooper John Cleary faces one count of obstruction of justice;

• Former LSP Trooper Dakota Demoss faces one count of obstruction of justice;

• Former LSP Troop F Captain John Peters faces one count of obstruction of justice; and

• Union Parish Deputy Chris Harpin face three counts of malfeasance in office.

Another trooper involved in the arrest, Chris Hollingsworth, was killed in a single-vehicle highway crash in 2020. The Associated Press reported at the time that he had been notified hours earlier that he would be fired for his part in Mr. Greene’s fatal arrest.

The case reached the grand jury in November, brought by John Belton, the district attorney for Union Parish. Mr. Belton had said that federal prosecutors did not object to him moving forward with the case.

AFTER WHITE COPS TORTURED/BRUTALLY MURDERED RONALD GREEN UNCIVILIZED LA AUTHORITIES HID VIDEO/REPORTS, BEGGED DA NOT TO CHARGE, LIED ABOUT CAUSE OF DEATH AND PREVENTED PROPER AUTOPSY.

According to the civil complaint filed on behalf of Mr. Greene:

On or about 12 a.m. on May 10, 2019, Greene was driving a silver Toyota CH-R on U.S. 80 in Monroe, Louisiana. Trooper Demoss contends that he attempted to initiate a traffic stop of Greene’s car. Trooper Demoss does not define any violation of the motor vehicle code that would justify a stop. Instead, he contends that he observed a “traffic violation”. Greene did not stop his car and a vehicle pursuit ensued.

Greene traveled along US 80 to LA 143 and into Union Parish where his car swerved, spun, and crashed into a wooded area.

The front of Greene’s car did not make impact with a tree and his airbag did not deploy. The highest level of impact sustained by the car occurred in the rear driver side and said impact was moderate.

Greene was able to exit the vehicle without assistance. Green was not injured and could walk, speak and otherwise function in a healthy manner after the crash.

Almost immediately thereafter, Trooper Demoss and Master Trooper Hollingsworth arrived on the scene. Shortly thereafter, Captain Peters, Lieutenant Clary, Sergeant McElroy, Master Trooper York, and Deputy Sherriff Harpin arrived at the scene.

Greene exited his car and began to apologize to the officers, telling them he knew he should have stopped the vehicle earlier. Officers pinned Greene down on the ground while he screamed ‘Oh my God.’”

Greene was moaning, begging the officers to stop, and repeatedly saying “I’m sorry.” Despite Greene’s contrition and surrender, Trooper Demoss, Master Trooper Hollingsworth, Master Trooper York, Captain Peters, Lieutenant Clary, Sergeant McElroy, and Deputy Sherriff Harpin individually and in concert used lethal force against Greene.

Trooper Demoss beat, smothered, and choked Greene despite the fact that he had surrendered, was not resisting, was in custody, and posed no threat. Master Trooper Hollingsworth beat, smothered, and choked Greene despite the fact that he had surrendered, was not resisting, was in custody, and posed no threat.

Master Trooper York beat, smothered, and choked Greene despite the fact that he had surrendered, was not resisting, was in custody, and posed no threat.

Lieutenant Clary beat, smothered, and choked Greene despite the fact that he had surrendered, was not resisting, was in custody, and posed no threat. Sergeant McElroy beat, smothered and choked Greene despite the fact that he had surrendered, was not resisting, was in custody, and posed no threat. Captain Peters beat, smothered, and choked Greene despite the fact that he had surrendered, was not resisting, was in custody, and posed no threat. Deputy Sherriff Harpin beat, smothered, and choked Greene despite the fact that he had surrendered, was not resisting, was in custody, and posed no threat.

Despite Greene’s contrition and surrender Defendant officers used an electronic control weapon against Greene at least three times thus attacking his heart with massive amounts of electricity. It is currently unknown which officer or officers used electronic control weapon(s) because the Louisiana State Police refused to produce or release bodycam footage, dashboard cam footage, discharge logs, use of force reports or any number of investigative materials that would identify who used lethal force.

Trooper Demoss watched other officers beat, smother, choke, and use an electronic control weapon on Greene despite the fact that he had surrendered, was not resisting, was in custody, and posed no threat.

The force used against Greene was unjustified, unreasonable, excessive, and in violation of Greene’s Fourth Amendment rights.

The force used against Greene left him beaten, bloodied, and in cardiac arrest. An officer called for an ambulance at 12:29 a.m.

When the Emergency Medical Technicians arrived at 12:51 a.m. they found Greene unresponsive. He was propped up against an officer’s leg, covered in blood with multiple “TASER” Barbs penetrating his body.

Emergency Medical Technicians determined that Greene was in cardiac and respiratory arrest.

Greene was placed on a gurney and transported to Glenwood Medical Center. He remained unresponsive when he arrived at 1:25 a.m. Greene was pronounced dead at 1:27 a.m.

An initial report from Glenwood Medical Center listed the principle cause of Greene’s death as cardiac arrest. He was also diagnosed with an “unspecified injury of head.”

Master Trooper Hollingsworth confirmed the vicious and unconstitutional nature of the Officers’ conduct by confessing that he choked and “beat the ever-loving fuck” out of Greene until he was spitting blood and went limp.

Master Trooper Hollingsworth confirmed that this vicious and unconstitutional beating was inflicted by multiple officers and in the presence of multiple officers.

All Defendants immediately began efforts to obfuscate the true nature of the conduct that caused Greene’s death. The following are examples of the Officers’ deceptions:

Greene’s family was told that he had been killed in an auto accident.

Greene’s mother was told that he had been killed immediately after hitting a tree.

The call for Emergency Medical Services omitted any mention that force had been used. The sole police report produced to date does not indicate that force was used.

Inconsistent versions of the Officers’ involvement with Greene were provided to medical treatment providers at Glenwood Hospital.

The sole police report produced to date asserted that Greene was intoxicated prior to any toxicology examinations being conducted.

Greene’s body was sent out of the State of Louisiana to conduct an autopsy, denying the right of the family to have a representative observe same. Green’s family has been denied access to video footage of the use of lethal force. Doctor Omokhuale, an emergency room physician at Glenwood confirms the Officers’ deception and stated as follows: “obtaining more history from different law enforcement personal, the account of what happened was disjointed and does not add up. Different versions are present and family did not come to the emergency room. Family states they were told by law enforcement that patient died on impact with tree immediately after motor vehicle accident, but law enforcement state to me that patient out of the car and was running and involved in a fight and struggle where them where he was tased 3 times.”

After officials refused for more than two years to release the troopers’ body camera video, the AP obtained and published it this spring, showing white troopers converging on Greene before he can even get out of his car, repeatedly stunning and punching him as he appears to surrender and repeatedly wails, “I’m your brother! I’m scared! I’m scared!” A trooper can later be seen dragging the heavyset Greene by his ankle shackles and he is left prone and face down in the dirt for more than nine minutes before he eventually goes limp.

Yet even after AP published video of Greene’s violent arrest, state officials and advocates for the troopers repeated the crash theory, with Gov. John Bel Edwards floating it as recently as September.

“The issue would be did he die from injuries sustained in the accident?” Edwards, a Democrat, said on a radio program. “Obviously, he didn’t die in the accident itself because he was still alive when the troopers were engaging with him. But what was the cause of death? I don’t know that that was falsely portrayed.”

Edwards went on to say troopers' actions were “criminal” but that whether they caused Greene’s death was the subject of an investigation and “I’m not going to get in front of that.”

A lawyer for the troopers involved in Greene’s arrest told a court in July that the crash killed him. [MORE]

Judge Sentences White Cop Only 12 yrs in Prison for Murdering Atatiana Jefferson. After Unlawful Entry Into Home Officer Shot Her as She Played Video Games w/Her 8 yr Old Nephew, Gave No First Aid

From [HERE] A former Texas police officer who fatally shot Atatiana Jeffersonthrough a rear window of her home in 2019 was sentenced Tuesday to 11 years and 10 months in prison for his manslaughter conviction.

Aaron Dean, 38, had faced up to 20 years in prison, but jurors also had the option of sentencing him to probation. The same jury that convicted him of manslaughter last Thursday also determined the sentence.

The white Fort Worth officer shot the 28-year-old Black woman while responding to a call about an open front door. His guilty verdict was a rare conviction of an officer for killing someone who was also armed with a gun.

During the trial, the primary dispute was whether Mr. Dean knew Ms. Jefferson was armed. Mr. Dean testified that he saw her weapon; prosecutors claimed the evidence showed otherwise.

The jurors obviously did not find the white officer to be credible.

Mr. Dean shot Ms. Jefferson on Oct. 12, 2019, after a neighbor called a nonemergency police line to report that the front door to Ms. Jefferson’s home was open. She had been playing video games that night with her 8-year-old nephew and it emerged at trial that they left the doors open to vent smoke from hamburgers the boy burned.

The case was unusual for the relative speed with which, amid public outrage, the Fort Worth Police Department released video of the shooting and arrested Mr. Dean. He had completed the police academy the year before and quit the force without speaking to investigators. 

Since then, the case had been repeatedly postponed amid lawyerly wrangling, the terminal illness of Mr. Dean’s lead attorney and the Covid-19 pandemic. 

Police body camera footage showed that Mr. Dean and a second officer who responded to the call didn’t identify themselves as police at the house. Mr. Dean and Officer Carol Darchtestified that they thought the house might have been burglarized and quietly moved into the fenced-off backyard looking for signs of forced entry. 

There, Mr. Dean, whose gun was drawn, fired a single shot through the window a split-second after shouting at Ms. Jefferson, who was inside, to show her hands. 

Mr. Dean testified that he had no choice but to shoot when he saw Ms. Jefferson pointing the barrel of a gun directly at him. But under questioning from prosecutors he acknowledged numerous errors, repeatedly conceding that actions he took before and after the shooting were “more bad police work.” 

Ms. Darch’s back was to the window when Mr. Dean shot, but she testified that he never mentioned seeing a gun before he pulled the trigger and didn’t say anything about the weapon as they rushed in to search the house. 

Mr. Dean acknowledged on the witness stand that he only said something about the gun after seeing it on the floor inside the house and that he never gave Ms. Jefferson first aid. 

VA Beach to Pay $3M to Settle Donovon Lynch Suit. Media Claims Police Shot Black Man to Death During a "Chaotic Scene" but in Real Life a White Cop Shot Him as He Posed No Threat, Then Watched Him Die

From [HERE] The city of Virginia Beach will pay $3 million to settle a lawsuit from the family of a Black man who was shot by a Virginia Beach officer on March 26 while multiple shootings were happening at the Oceanfront.

The city and the family of Donovon Lynch — a cousin of musician and Virginia Beach native Pharrell Williams

Wayne Lynch, Dononvon’s father, filed a $50 million wrongful death lawsuit in June 2021 against the city and police officer Solomon D. Simmons, who is also Black. According to the complaint:

Upon information and belief, the officer failed to attempt to stop or otherwise determine the identity of Mr. Lynch prior to firing his police-issued firearm

• During the incident, the officer failed to activate the body camera that he was wearing. The body camera should have been activated pursuant to Virginia Beach Police policies, procedures, and/or protocols

• Upon information and belief, the officer failed to render life-saving medical aide and/or failed to cause others to render life-saving medical aide to Mr. Lynch after shooting him twice.

Police have previously claimed that Lynch was “brandishing” a handgun at the time of the shooting, an allegation that his family and a witness have sharply denied.

Lynch was at the Oceanfront with his friend Darrion Marsh on March 26. They were inside a nightclub during a shooting in which they had no involvement. They then left and walked toward their cars when they encountered Simmons, according to the lawsuit.

“Immediately, unlawfully and without warning, Officer Simmons fired his police-issued firearm at Mr. Lynch, shooting him twice and killing him,” the lawsuit reads. It claims that Simmons acted with gross negligence and used excessive force when killing Lynch.

Lynch, one of two people killed that night in addition to eight others being injured, did not speak or act in any way that suggested that he posed “any threat, let alone a deadly threat, to Officer Simmons or anyone else,” the lawsuit says. The complaint states:

Upon information and belief, it was while Mr. Lynch and Mr. Marsh were walking towards their cars that they encountered Officer Simmons. Immediately, unlawfully, and without warning, Officer Simmons fired his police-issued firearm at Mr. Lynch, shooting him twice and Killing him. 24. At the time of his death, Mr. Lynch was 6’5” and weighed 305 Ibs. A former offensive lineman for the University of Virginia College at Wise, he stood out due to his enormous size. He was unmistakable as anyone else.” [MORE]

Lynch’s shooting occurred on a warm March night near the city’s crowded boardwalk, which is lined with restaurants and hotels. The evening dissolved into chaos after separate outbreaks of gunfire. At least eight people were wounded and one woman, who was believed to be a bystander, was killed.

Lynch, 25, a former college football player, was at a nightclub with his friend when a shooting occurred outside, the lawsuit stated. The men left and walked toward their cars when they encountered Simmons.

“Immediately, unlawfully and without warning, officer Simmons fired his police-issued firearm at Mr. Lynch, shooting him twice and killing him,” the lawsuit states.

In November 2021, a special grand jury found that Simmons was justified. Authorities said Lynch had a gun and racked a round into the chamber before pointing his weapon toward a parking lot filled with people and police.

Tuesday’s joint statement said more has been learned “about the facts of that fateful night and encounter.”

“(W)e have come to understand that a series of unfortunate occurrences led to Donovon’s death that night — which in hindsight should never have occurred as it was later determined that neither Donovon nor the officer set in motion the events that transpired,” the statement said. In other words, we will keep nghrs anytime we want and there is nothing you can do about it.
