Apartment Rents Fell in Every Major Metropolitan Area in the US Over the Past Six Months

From [HERE] Apartment rents fell in every major metropolitan area in the U.S. over the past six months through January, a trend that is poised to continue as the biggest delivery of new apartments in nearly four decades is slated for this year.  

Renters with new leases in January paid a median rent that was 3.5% lower than they would have paid last August, according to estimates from listing website Apartment List. It was the first time in five years that rent fell every month over a six-month period, according to the same estimates.

Four other market measures by housing-data companies also show that new-lease rents either fell or remained flat in January compared with the previous month, extending a streak of monthly rent declines that began at the end of the summer.

The softening rental market follows an unprecedented run for the apartment and home-rental industry put into motion by the pandemic. Pent-up demand for housingexploded in the months after the introduction of Covid-19 vaccines in late 2020 and a surge in people searching for apartments lifted rents 25% over two years. 

Now, recent declines are a sign that many tenants have maxed out on how much of their income they can devote to rent, while the specter of layoffs has created new concerns for some. Other would-be renters, living with family or friends, remain sidelined by prices that are still far too high for their budgets. 

While some seasonal stalling in rents is normal, the market faces a significant headwind in the biggest delivery of new supply since 1986, according to projections from CoStar Group. Nearly half a million new apartments are coming on line this year as developers seek to cash in on the high rents that tenants have been paying. Many renters are unable to afford to buy a home because of higher mortgage rates and steep prices, so rentals have been in high demand.

Rents have retreated alongside recent declines in home-sale prices, which fell 3.6% between June and November, according to the S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller National Home Price Index. Higher mortgage rates and softening buyer demand have been weighing on home prices, despite a period this year when lower rates sparked an uptick in buyer interest. [MORE]

Burned Out from McJobs, More Americans are Turning to Part-Time Jobs. The Number of People Working Part Time Rose by 1.2 Million in December and January

From [HERE] Part-time work is exploding. The number of Americans working part time rose by 1.2 million in December and January compared with the preceding months, according to the Labor Department. Most of that increase—857,000 workers—was driven by people who worked part time by choice, not because they were unable to find full-time work or their hours were cut.

The total number of people working part time voluntarily—22.1 million in January—is now almost six times the 4.1 million who are working part time but would prefer full-time hours. That is the highest ratio in two decades. In the first months of the pandemic, when millions of Americans were laid off and couldn’t find full-time jobs, or saw their hours cut, those numbers were about even. In the 20 years before the Covid-19 pandemic, the ratio typically stayed between three to one and five to one.

In total, 16.3% of the 160 million Americans who were employed in January worked part time hours, which the Labor Department defines as anything less than 35 hours in a week. 

The increase in part-time workers reflects changes in the U.S. economy and the historically tight labor market, according to economists, employers and workers. As the pandemic led to burnout among some workers and drove many to reconsider their careers, some have downshifted to part-time roles. [MORE]

Black Owned Businesses Account for Only 3% of All Businesses (the US is 12% Black)

From [HERE] Nearly six-in-ten Black adults (58%) say supporting Black businesses, or “buying Black,” is an extremely or very effective strategy for moving Black people toward equality in the United States. While Black-owned businesses in the U.S. have grown significantly in recent years, they still make up a small share of firms and revenue in the country, according to a Pew Research Center analysis of Census Bureau data.

In 2020, there were an estimated 140,918 U.S. firms with majority Black or African American ownership, up 14% from 124,004 in 2017, according to the latest available data from the Census Bureau’s Annual Business Survey (ABS). Those firms brought in an estimated $141.1 billion in gross revenue in 2020, an 11% increase since 2017. [said numbers are actually probably lower due to government COVID shut down orders that disproportionately destroyed Black businesses]

Despite this growth, businesses majority-owned by Black or African American people accounted for only 3% of all U.S. firms that were classifiable by the race and ethnicity of their owners in 2020. And Black-owned firms accounted for just 1% of gross revenue from classifiable companies that year. By comparison, Black adults comprised 12.4% of the overall U.S. population in 2020, according to the Census Bureau.

As has long been the case, White Americans accounted for a large majority (86%) of firms whose ownership was classifiable by race and ethnicity in 2020. These firms brought in 93% of all revenue from classifiable companies that year.

U.S. firms with Asian majority owners accounted for 11% of all classifiable firms and 6% of revenue in 2020. Those majority-owned by Hispanics accounted for 7% of classifiable companies and 3% of revenue.

It’s important to note that not all U.S. businesses are classifiable by the race or ethnicity of their owners. A business is classified as “majority Black-owned” if a Black owner has at least 51% equity in the firm. (The same is true for business owners of other racial and ethnic backgrounds.) In 2020, only about 4% of all businesses in the U.S. were not classifiable by the race and ethnicity of their owners – but these firms accounted for 62% of total revenue. For that reason, ownership and revenue figures in this analysis refer only to the roughly 5.6 million firms that are classifiable by the race and ethnicity of their owners, most of which are smaller businesses.

Smaller payrolls common at Black-owned businesses

Majority Black- or African American-owned firms provided income for more than 1.3 million workers in 2020, with overall annual payrolls at these businesses totaling an estimated $42.2 billion that year.

Most Black-owned businesses have relatively small payrolls. Roughly two-thirds (66%) had fewer than 10 employees in 2020; 14% had 10 to 49 employees and just 3% had 50 or more. (In the ABS, employment size is determined by the number of paid workers during the March 12 pay period each year, which coincided with the start of the U.S. coronavirus outbreak in 2020. During that 2020 pay period, an additional 17% of majority Black- or African American-owned firms reported no employees.)

For most Black or African American business owners in the U.S., their firm is their main source of income. Among those who reported data about their primary source of personal income in 2020, 69% said their business was their primary income source, while 31% said it was not, according to ABS data.

Black-owned businesses are more common in health care sector and in certain states

The greatest number and share of majority Black- or African American-owned businesses are in the health care and social assistance sector. In 2020, more than 38,000 of the nearly 141,000 U.S. companies with majority Black or African American ownership, or 28% of the total, were in this sector.

Looked at a different way, 7% of all classifiable U.S. businesses in the health care and social assistance sector had Black or African American majority owners that year.

Professional, scientific and technical services was the second-most common sector, accounting for 14% of majority Black- or African American-owned businesses in 2020. Other common sectors included administrative and support and waste management and remediation services (9%) and construction (7%).

An overwhelming majority (88%) of Black- or African American-owned businesses are located in urban areas. Just 6% are in rural areas – that is, places with fewer than 2,500 inhabitants, under the Census Bureau’s definition. Three of the four most populous states also lead in the number of estimated businesses with majority Black or African American ownership: Florida had 15,149 such businesses in 2020, California had 13,729 and New York had 12,636. But majority Black- or African American-owned businesses made up the greatest shareof all classifiable firms in the District of Columbia, Georgia and Maryland.

More than half of Black business owners are men

The gender divide among all U.S. business owners extends to Black or African American business owners, though by a smaller margin. Among all U.S. firms whose ownership is classifiable by gender, 63% were majority-owned by men in 2020, while 22% were owned by women and 15% had equal male-female ownership that year. By comparison, 55% of majority Black- or African American-owned businesses in 2020 had male owners, while 37% were owned by women and 8% had equal male-female ownership.

Roughly half (52%) of Black or African American business owners who reported their age grouping were 35 t0 54 in 2020; an additional 25% were ages 55 to 64. A majority of those who reported their educational background had an undergraduate degree or more education. About a quarter (26%) had a bachelor’s degree, and another 34% had some form of degree beyond a bachelor’s.

According to Pew, the Number of Blacks in the US Reached a New High of 47.2 Million in 2021 as the White Population Continues to Decline [causing some racists to practice racism and act genocidally]

From [HERE] The number of Black people living in the United States reached a new high of 47.2 million in 2021, according to a Pew Research Center analysis of government data. This group is diverse, with a growing number and share born outside the U.S. and an increasing number saying they are of two or more races. And while the South continues to see growth in its number of Black residents, the Black population is growing in other regions of the country, too.

For Black History Month, here are key facts about the nation’s Black population. In this analysis, the Black population is made up of three main groups: single-race, non-Hispanic Black people; non-Hispanic, multiracial Black people; and Black Hispanics.

The Black population in the U.S. has grown by 30% since 2000, rising from 36.2 million then to 47.2 million in 2021. Notably, the number of people self-identifying as another race in addition to Black has increased nearly 240% since 2000, reflecting a broader national shift in the number of Americans identifying as multiracial as well as changes to how the U.S. Census Bureau asks about race and ethnicity. The number of Black Americans who say they are Hispanic has also risen sharply over this period, up 185% since 2000.

The arrival of new immigrants from Africa, the Caribbean and elsewhere has been an important contributor to Black population growth. In 2021, there were 4.8 million foreign-born Black Americans, up from 2.4 million in 2000, according to a Pew Research Center analysis of Census Bureau data. Immigrants accounted for about 10% of the Black population in 2021, up from 7% in 2000.

More than half of the nation’s Black population (56%) lived in Southern states in 2021, up from a historic low of 52% in 1970.However, the share of Black Americans who live in the South varies by racial and ethnic background. Among those who are Black alone and not Hispanic, roughly six-in-ten (59%) live in the South. By comparison, only 42% of multiracial, non-Hispanic Black people and 35% of Black Hispanics live in the South.

Although rarely discussed, ‘white people’ are genetic recessive. It is scientific fact that Black is a genetically dominant trait. Whenever Black mixes with White, which is a recessive genetic trait, Black will dominate. In general, this means "whites" cannot reproduce a white child when they have sexual relations with non-whites. The so-called white "race" can and eventually will be replaced or "genetically annihilated" through such assimilation or social intermixing with non-whites. As white populations have been consistently declining, Black and Brown populations are surging. According to Welsing, ‘genetic annihilation is the fundamental motivation of racists, whether it is conscious and/or subconsciously determined. [MORE] Said "fear of replacement" and/or the fear of losing control over non-whites fuels the system of white supremacy/racism and motivates racists to act genocidally towards non-whites in their perceived "survival game" with non-whites. Welsing’s color confrontation theory explained that the more the white population shrinks the worse its conduct toward non-whites will get.

With 4 million Black residents, Texas is the state with the largest Black population. Following Texas is Florida, with 3.8 million, and Georgia, with 3.6 million.

New York has more Black residents than any other metropolitan area.Nearly 4 million Black Americans live in the New York metro area. Other metro areas with large Black populations include Atlanta (2.2 million), Washington, D.C. (1.8 million) and Chicago (1.7 million).

As a share of the population, the Atlanta area is home to a higher percentage of Black people than any other metro area with at least 1 million Black residents. Nearly four-in-ten residents of the Atlanta metro area (37%) are Black, followed by 28% in the Washington metro area, 24% in the Detroit metro area, and 23% each in the Philadelphia and Miami metro areas.

The Black population of the U.S. is relatively young. In 2021, the median age of Black Americans was 33 years, meaning half of the nation’s Black population was younger than that age and half was older. By comparison, the nation’s overall median age was 38 in 2021.

Among Black Americans, median age varies considerably by race and ethnicity: Single-race, non-Hispanic Black Americans had a median age of 35 in 2021, compared with only 22 among Black Hispanics and 20 among multiracial, non-Hispanic Black Americans.

Educational attainment among Black Americans is on the rise. In 2021, 26% of Black adults ages 25 and older – 7.5 million people – had earned a bachelor’s degree or more, up from 15% in 2000.

Growing shares of Black women and Black men have earned a bachelor’s degree or more over the last two decades. However, Black women have seen a larger gain than Black men, leading to a widening gender gap in educational attainment. In 2021, 29% of Black women ages 25 and older had earned at least a bachelor’s degree, up from 16% in 2000. Among Black men of the same age, 22% had earned at least a bachelor’s degree in 2021, up from 13% in 2000.

Black Preacher Explains - You Can Get Cut Up, Dressed Up And Drugged Up But There Are Only Two Genders

90% of Drivers Searched or Arrested by the Police in 2022 were Black or Latino in NYC, a City Run and Controlled by White Liberals

From [HERE] The first comprehensive data set on the NYPD’s use of vehicle stops shows that police pulled over hundreds of thousands of drivers last year — and about 90% of the people searched or arrested in those stops were Black or Latino.

Police stopped a total of more than 670,000 drivers in 2022 — roughly equivalent to the total population of Washington, D.C. That’s about the same number of pedestrians NYPD officers stopped in 2011, at the height of the stop-and-frisk era. The NYPD has never released vehicle stop numbers before, so it’s impossible to know how last year’s data compares to prior years.

While most stops only resulted in a summons for a minor violation, officers searched and arrested Black and Latino drivers at far higher rates than white drivers, according to data obtained by the New York Civil Liberties Union and shared with Gothamist. When police used force during traffic stops and recorded the person’s race, the person they used force against was a person of color about 92% of the time, the data shows.

“As with the pedestrian stops during the height of stop and frisk, we are now seeing numbers where it’s quite clear that Black and Latino drivers are being singled out for the most aggressive police activity,” said Christopher Dunn, the NYCLU's legal director. “That’s a source of a lot of concern.”

The NYPD said the new data is just a “baseline” and that the department is still working to analyze and understand the numbers.

“But make no mistake,” a spokesperson said in a statement. “Whether for street encounters or vehicle stops, both are fundamental tools in a thoughtful and multilayered public safety approach practiced by the NYPD to keep all New Yorkers safe and free from fear.”

Traffic stops are among the most common interactions between police and the public, and departments often tout them as a tool to increase road safety and search for evidence of more serious crimes. But experts and advocates for police reform have noted that the tactic disproportionately affects people of color and can escalate into violence. After the fatal police beating of Tyre Nichols during a traffic stop in Memphis, some are once again casting doubt on the effectiveness of car stops, noting that they put both drivers and officers in danger and rarely turn up evidence of a serious crime.

The new vehicle stop data from the NYPD shows that the department’s hundreds of thousands of vehicle stops in 2022 rarely resulted in arrests. Officers made an arrest only about 2.2% of the time. About 77% of stops resulted in a summons for a minor violation, like driving with a broken tail light.

The most common types of arrests were for license violations and possession of a forged instrument, which is often brought against people who violate license plate rules. In contrast, police made just 631 arrests for second-degree criminal possession of a loaded weapon, accounting for about 4% of arrests.

“We see time and time and time again that traffic stops generate enormous harm, and they do so for very little benefit,” Dunn said.

While pedestrian stops have been the subject of intense scrutiny in New York City in recent years, the new vehicle stops data provides an unprecedented look at a form of policing that, until recently, was used by the NYPD with little transparency. In 2021, the City Council passed a law requiring police to record and share quarterly reports on car stop numbers, broken down by race, gender and several other factors.

A City Council spokesperson called the first batch of numbers “alarming.”

“Police departments across the nation have been moving away from vehicle stops because of the evidence showing they too often escalate and lead to tragic incidents and can extract resources from communities through fines and fees with severe disparities,” spokesperson Rendy Desamours said in a statement. “This first-ever year of data on vehicle stops in New York City shows why this initial transparency was so critical.”

‘Use stops as an investigative moment’

Farhang Heydari, executive director of NYU’s Policing Project, questioned whether vehicle stops are actually making the roads safer.

“Are we finding lots of people with murder warrants and violent, you know, people who have committed violent crimes? Or are we just arresting people who can’t afford to pay traffic tickets or other kinds of fines?” he said. “I’m just very skeptical that this tactic is accomplishing anything.” [MORE]

White Prosecutors Continue to Delay Jam Master Jay's Murder Trial

 From [HERE] Having belatedly entered a request for an anonymous jury in the trial over the 2002 murder of hip-hop legend Jam Master Jay, prosecutors endured a federal judge's wrath Thursday for setting back proceedings by nearly a year. 

Karl Jordan Jr. and Ronald Washington have been charged with killing the iconic Run-DMC member, whose full name was Jason “Jay" Mizell, at Mizell’s Queens recording studio on October 30, 2002. The unsolved murder case sat for nearly two decades before the defendants’ arrest and indictment in 2020. Both have pleaded not guilty. 

Six months after June 2022 motion deadline — Jordan and Washington's trial had been scheduled to start in February — the government requested in January that jurors’ names be kept secret. Picking anonymous juries requires extra time and questionnaire changes, however, so the move would delay the trial until January 2024. 

U.S. District Judge LaShann DeArcy Hall set the new date, only to receive another letter from prosecutors requesting that she move up the proceedings because options in the intervening months “were not fully explored.” 

The Obama-appointed Hall spent 30 minutes Thursday sharply rebuking that notion. 

“I don’t answer to you, so the fact that you don’t believe that I explored the summer months to your satisfaction is of no moment,” Hall said, addressing Assistant U.S. Attorney Artie McConnell, who occupied the first prosecutor chair but remained standing as the judge spoke. 

“This is going to serve you well moving forward,” Hall said. “Why don't you assume that I know how to manage my own docket? Why don’t you assume that I wear the robe and you don’t?”

The judge also criticized how prosecutors phrased their concerns about the delay in the 2-page letter, which says: “The government is also prejudiced by the extended delay, as one key witness has passed away during the pendency of the case and witness intimidation and tampering remain a significant concern.”

Hall asked her deputy to hand both parties a printout of an article from music website AllHipHop.com. She said she faulted prosecutors for its salacious headline: “Key Witness In Jam Master Jay Case Turns Up Dead; Feds Seek To Expedite Trial.”

“Did it not occur to you," Hall asked, "that that might create the impression, the false impression, that that witness died as a result of conduct by either the defendants or someone acting on their behest? That somehow this death was the result of foul play?” 

“No, it did not, judge, and that certainly was not the intent,” McConnell replied. 

“I don’t know if I believe that it was just sloppy,” Hall countered. 

Friends and family supporting Jordan filled several rows of seats of the hushed, and otherwise nearly empty, federal courtroom in Brooklyn. Hall made clear she did not intend to change the January 2024 trial date unless something changes to warrant her reconsideration. 

Defense attorneys had little to add following Hall’s castigation. 

“It really speaks for itself,” said attorney Michael Hueston, who represents Jordan. “I think the judge’s decision is appropriate and correct. 

Washington’s attorney Susan Kellman concurred: “I think the judge said it all.”

Nipsey Hussle's Killer is Sentenced to 60 years to Life in Prison

From [HERE] The killer of a celebrated Los Angeles rapper was sentenced Wednesday after a legal drama that dragged on for three years.

Eric R. Holder Jr., 33, will likely remain in jail for the rest of his life for the murder of Nipsey Hussle. Hussle, born Airmiess Joseph Asghedom, was a Grammy-nominated rapper, entrepreneur and philanthropist who was fatally shot in 2019 outside the Marathon Clothing store he owned in South LA. He was 33 years old.

Holder was sentenced to 50 years to life for his role in the killing as well as 10 years for shooting two other people that day.

Superior Court Judge H. Clay Jacke II handed down the sentence to Holder in Los Angeles.

I am very mindful of what was presented as to Mr. Holder's mental health," Jacke said, according to The Associated Press. "I am also mindful of the devastation caused to the victims and their families. I believe this sentence balances the two."

Jacke sentenced Holder to 25 years to life for the murder, an additional 25 years for a firearm sentencing enhancement and 10 years for assault with a firearm, the AP reports.

Last July, a Los Angeles County jury also found Holder guilty of two counts of attempted voluntary manslaughter, as two other men were injured in the gunfire at the crime scene.

Growing up, Hussle had been involved in the same gang as Holder, and prosecutors said Holder shot the rapper multiple times because Hussle called Holder a "snitch."

Hussle had become a leading advocate against gun violence and a community leader who was involved in developing his neighborhood and creating opportunities for kids.

Prior to his murder, Hussle was scheduled to meet with LA Police Commissioner Steve Soboroff and LA Police Chief Michel Moore about ways to stop gang violence across the city.

Last August, Hussle was honored posthumously with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame — on what would have been his 37th birthday.

[Vanilla Vice still White] Black CEO Gets NGHR Treatment for Alleged White Collar Crimes – White Liberal Prosecutors Publicly Arrest Carlos Watson by Surprise in NYC

From [HERE] Ozy Media and Chief Executive Carlos Watson were indicted on charges of repeatedly lying to investors and lenders about core aspects of the company’s business, a crippling blow to a once-promising startup that had early backing from big-brand advertisers and venture capitalists.

Mr. Watson, a former Goldman Sachs Group Inc. banker and MSNBC anchor who hosts some of Ozy’s television shows and podcasts, was arrested Thursday morning in a Manhattan hotel. He is accused of falsifying information about Ozy’s financial performance and audience size, altering and fabricating contracts for some of its television shows and inflating its projected earnings, in an effort to secure tens of millions of dollars in investments and loans to offset the fledgling company’s mounting debt, according to an indictment unsealed Thursday. 

The U.S. attorney’s office in Brooklyn, N.Y., charged the company and Mr. Watson with conspiring to commit securities fraud and wire fraud.  

Mr. Watson’s arrest came after Samir Rao, a former executive with whom he founded Ozy, pleaded guilty to fraud and identity-theft charges in a secretive federal court proceeding earlier this week. The Securities and Exchange Commission also filed a civil lawsuit against Messrs. Watson and Rao and Ozy, alleging they lied to investors. 

Ozy came under federal scrutiny for its business practices after the New York Times reported in 2021 that Mr. Rao, its then-chief operating officer, impersonated an executive of Alphabet Inc.’s YouTube during a fundraising call with Goldman Sachs. The call had been arranged after Messrs. Rao and Watson falsely claimed to Goldman that YouTube had paid Ozy $5.75 million to license the “Carlos Watson Show,” according to the indictment.

Mr. Watson acknowledged the impersonation incident in a statement at the time of the article but said Mr. Rao’s behavior on the call was the result of a mental-health issue.

Prosecutors allege that Mr. Watson was aware of Mr. Rao’s impersonation and instructed him over a series of text messages about what to say during the call. In one text, Mr. Watson coached Mr. Rao to say, “I am a big fan of Carlos, Samir and the show.” [MORE]

Is The Dependent Media Downplaying The Largest Environmental Disaster in US History? The Entire Ohio River Basin is Affected, 30 Million People

From [HERE] With all of the Chyna balloons and UFOs going around, unless you live in East Palestine, Ohio or if you consume a lot of independent news, you probably don’t know that the US is currently experiencing what may be the largest ecological disaster in its history. 

And I’m not talking about the fake Climate Change catastrophism promoted by the World Economic Forum, I’m talking about the ~100,000 gallons or 1,000,000 pounds of vinyl chloride leaked, spilled and burned, due  to a train derailment in this rural town of 5,000 people, where acid rain and phosgene is expected to decimate a wide swathe of the region’s ecology. The devastation will likely force migrations of people, many of whom will get cancer later on. This is an American Chernobyl.

Dioxins result whenever chlorinated organics like vinyl chloride are burned. Dioxins are degraded slowly in the environment, with a half-life of 25-100 years in the soil. They cause cancers, reproductive harm, damage the immune system and they disrupt hormones.

The toxic plume of airborne hydrochloric acid and dioxin from the East Palestine “controlled burn” has a radius of over 200 miles encompassing Pittsburgh, Detroit, Cleveland and Toronto. For the past week, it’s been raining down over some of the most fertile farmland in the United States, killing farm animals and aquatic life.

The entire Ohio River Basin is affected, where over 30 million people or 10% of the US population lives, including the metropolitan areas of Louisville KY, Cincinnati OH, Indianapolis, IN and Nashville, TN. The Ohio River, alone provides drinking water to over 5 million people. And it drains into the Mississippi, affecting all those downstream.

It’s not known what caused the derailment but security camera footage taken 20 miles away from the scene of the accident in Salem, OH shows sparks and flames shooting beneath one of the cars. Hot box detectors should have triggered the emergency brake but that doesn’t appear to have happened. The NTSB is investigating the trains data and audio recordings and the hot box detectors along the route.

The national news is not covering this event and there is a major cover-up in progress. Last week, Evan Lambert, an independent news reporter was arrested for simply and unobtrusively reporting on the derailment.

Considering the fact that there have been two other massive railroad accidents this week, involving derailed trains carrying toxic chemicals in Splendora, TX and Enoree, SC, on top of the 96 food facilities burnt to the ground since Joe Biden took office, are we ready for the public conversation that United States citizens are under attack?

Not the EPA. They’re saying that it’s safe for the people of East Palestine to go home, despite the fact that people who own chickens there are all reporting that ALL of their chickens have died suddenly. Not Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, who made an appearance on Monday and blamed the country’s infrastructure problems on COVID and didn’t say a word about the derailments. He preferred to complain that there were too many white men in the construction business.

The Biden Regime’s $65 billion “Bipartisan” Infrastructure Deal is focused on “Environmental Justice” and on building charging stations for environmentally ruinous electric cars and other woke pork. They’ve said nothing about this catastrophe.

My friends over at American Intelligence Media say something stinks about the derailment. They think this event may be a harbinger of the dread internet shutdown we’ve been warned about for years, noting that internet fiber trunk lines, wherever possible, are embedded under railroad rights of way and that, “Rail derailments are a sneaky way to selectively shut down digital communications,” in this case, AT&T service throughout the State of Ohio. They also ask whether the derailment is a simulation for bankers who are working to shut down businesses by fabricating disasters to install ESG.

Speaking of simulations and smoking guns, the Netflix movie, ‘White Noise’ appears to have been one of those Event 201-type tabletop exercises, training for the events in East Palestine. It’s quite stunning, how the images of the derailment and the plume that we’re seeing from this event are almost exactly the same as the images foreshadowed in the film. And guess where they shot the film in 2022? In East Palestine! Many of the chemically-bombed residents appeared as extras in the film.

Media Lying, 5G is Harmful: A new case report on two previously healthy men who developed “microwave syndrome” symptoms after a 5G cell tower was installed on the roof of their office

From [HERE] A new case report shows that two previously healthy men rapidly developed typical “microwave syndrome” symptoms shortly after a 5G cell tower was installed on the roof of their office.

According to the report, published Feb. 4 in the Annals of Clinical Case Reports, the men experienced headaches, joint pain, tinnitus, abnormal fatigue, sleep disturbances, burning skin, anxiety and trouble concentrating.

The findings match the results of a similar case report published last month in the same journal — that appeared earlier in the Swedish journal Medicinsk Access — showing a previously healthy man and woman developed similar microwave syndrome symptoms soon after a 5G tower was installed on top of their apartment.

Both reports show that non-ionizing radiation from 5G — well below levels allowed by authorities — can cause health problems in individuals who had no prior history of electromagnetic sensitivity (EMS).

The two reports appear to be the first studies in the world on the health effects in humans from exposure to 5G, according to the authors.

The case reports’ lead author, Dr. Lennart Hardell — a world-leading scientist on cancer risks from radiation — said the two reports are “groundbreaking” because they serve as the “first warning of a health hazard.”

“This may be the case for 5G and these results must be taken seriously,” he said.

“People shouldn’t have to leave their homes because of 5G,” said Hardell, an oncologist and epidemiologist with the Environment and Cancer Research Foundation who has authored more than 100 papers on non-ionizing radiation.

Just the ‘tip of the iceberg’

Hardell told The Defender the two case studies are likely just “the tip of the iceberg” when it comes to 5G’s impact on people’s health.

Because research on the health effects of exposure to 5G is lacking, Hardell said, we don’t know how many people get sick from 5G.

Mona Nilsson — managing director of the Swedish Radiation Protection Foundation and co-author of the case reports — said it was a “great scandal” that “5G has been rolled out for several years now in Sweden and in the U.S. without any study at all being performed about the health effects.”

“These two studies show that 5G is very dangerous to health and that the scientists and doctors who have been warning for years of serious consequences for human health due to a predicted massive increase in microwave radiation … have been right in their assessments,” Nilsson added.

5G impacts many organ systems

In the January case report, telecommunication companies replaced a 3G/4G cell tower with a 5G tower on the roof directly above the apartment of a healthy man and woman, ages 63 and 62.

Days after the 5G tower was installed, the two residents began developing acute physical symptoms, causing them to move out.

The residents’ physical symptoms quickly decreased or disappeared when they moved to a building with much lower radiation levels.

Measurements taken in their apartment showed extremely high levels of non-ionizing radiation throughout the apartment. The maximum value measured was more than 2,500,000 microwatts — the highest maximum value that the meter used can measure — so the actual radiation may have been even higher, Hardell and Nilsson said.

The report’s findings contradict assurances from the Swedish Radiation Safety Authority that the amount of radiation a cell tower emits is relatively below, behind or above the tower, she added.

The February report discussed the experiences of two men, ages 57 and 42, when a 3G/4G tower was replaced with 5G equipment on the roof of their office where they worked as information technology and management consultants and sometimes slept.

The men displayed symptoms shortly after the 5G tower was installed and chose to relocate — at which point their symptoms lessened or disappeared.

Hardell and Nilsson measured a maximum of 1,180,000 microwatts (μW/m2) in the men’s office. [MORE]

Republican Senators Push Back Against Accord Giving Unelected Authorities at WHO Power Over US Plandemic Responses

From [HERE] As member states of the World Health Organization (WHO) prepare to gather in Switzerland next week to negotiate final terms of an accord that will give the WHO centralized authority over U.S. policy in the case of a pandemic, Republican senators are pushing back with an effort to reinforce congressional power to authorize treaties.

The draft accord, which would be “legally binding” on all 194 member nations, gives the WHO the authority to declare pandemics and submits member countries to “the central role of the WHO as the directing and coordinating authority on international health work,” in areas like lockdowns, treatments, medical supply chains, surveillance, and “disinformation and false news,” once a pandemic is declared.

Seventeen U.S. senators, led by Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), introduced the “No WHO Pandemic Preparedness Treaty Without Senate Approval Act” on Feb 15, which states that the pandemic accord must be deemed a treaty, thus requiring the consent of a supermajority of the Senate, which is two-thirds, or 67 senators. The legislation comes as the WHO gears up to present what it calls the “zero draft” of the accord, negotiated with the help of U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra, to all member nations on Feb. 27 to agree final terms.

Other sponsors of the bill included Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), Bill Hagerty (R-Tenn.), John Barrasso (R-Wyo.), Mike Lee (R-Utah), Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), Rick Scott (R-Fla.), John Hoeven (R-N.D.), Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), Ted Cruz (R-Texas), Steve Daines (R-Mont.), Thom Tillis (R-N.C.), Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), Mike Braun (R-Ind.), Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.), Roger Marshall (R-Kan.), and Katie Britt (R-Ala.).

“The WHO, along with our federal health agencies, failed miserably in their response to COVID-19,” Sen. Johnson stated. “This failure should not be rewarded with a new international treaty that would increase the WHO’s power at the expense of American sovereignty.”

But some doubt this bill, even if approved, will stop the WHO accord from going into effect once President Joe Biden signs it.

“With all due respect to the sponsoring senators, that will not do the trick,” Francis Boyle, professor of international law at Illinois University, told The Epoch Times. The reason, he said, is that the WHO accord is drafted specifically to circumvent the Senate-approval process, and Congress instead should immediately withhold its yearly contributions to the WHO and take the United States out of the organization.

Currently, the United States is the largest contributor to the WHO’s $6.72 billion budget, of which $1.25 billion is for “health emergencies.” The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is the second largest donor to the WHO, contributing 9 percent of its budget in 2021; China is the third.

Dr Sucharit Bhakdi: COVID is a Plandemic. A Carefully Planned Conspiracy Designed to Kill Us and Our Children; Create Panic Over COVID in Order to Coerce and Induce People to Take Deadly Injections

According to FUNKTIONARY:

Socialist distancing – the ever-expanding and increasing disparity between the haves and the have-nots until the Socialist (i.e., monopoly capitalist) Welfare State becomes the Farewell State—farewell to your rights, your family, friends and even your life through Plandemics (Coronavirus), $camdemics (Corporate State turned Surveillance and Nanny State), 5G bio-weaponized eugenics, starvation, vaccinations, civil unrest, genocide and other nefarious LWO (Last World Order) activities that will greatly reduce the world’s population by 2030.  (See: Plandemic, $camdemic, Vaccines, Coronavirus, The Farewell State & COVERT-19) 

Big Pharma Exec says the DoD Conspired with China to Develop and Distribute “Biological Warfare Agents Marketed as ‘Covid-19 Vaccines'

From [HERE] Former pharmaceutical industry executive Sasha Latypova has come forward with damning information linking the Department of Defense (DoD) and Pfizer’s Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) “vaccine” scheme to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

Government documents obtained by Latypova show that the DoD partnered with a CCP-linked drug company to develop and distribute the “biological warfare agents marketed as ‘Covid-19 vaccines'” from Pfizer and BioNTech.

“It is curious that the U.S. DoD awarded $10 billion … to a venture whose substantial equity (and IP) holder is the Chinese Communist Party,” Latypova wrote in a December 28 Substack article.

Over the past year, Latypova has dropped numerous bombshell revelations on the world pertaining to Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) “vaccines,” all of which are a scam.

Government officials, Latypova claims, have been trying to conceal the relationship between Pfizer, the United States deep state, and communist China as it pertains to covid injections – but the cat is now out of the bag.

“I know what is in the redacted part,” Latypova wrote about images she shared of heavily redacted text naming the third party that partnered with Pfizer and BioNTech for the “co-development and distribution” of a “coronavirus vaccine.”

“Fosun Pharmaceuticals … it was not hard to figure out,” she revealed.

(Related: Three months before covid appeared, the DoD issued a “COVID-19 Research” contract to a Ukrainian company.)

It should really be called the Fosun-Pfizer-BioNTech covid “vaccine”

Another document dated March 16, 2020, substantiates Latypova’s claim that Fosun is the redacted third-party partner that worked with Pfizer, BioNTech, and the CCP to unleash covid shots under Operation Warp Speed.

This “strategic alliance,” that document states, was formed to ensure swift development and commercialization of the experimental gene-modification injections.

“Pfizer-BioNTech is really a 3-party R&D alliance: Fosun-Pfizer-BioNTech, and by ‘party’ I mean that one of the three is the Chinese Communist Party,” Latypova maintains.

“Fosun is a huge Chinese conglomerate that owns a large number of global companies, and its chairman, Guo Guangchang, is a very high ranking member of the CCP.”

According to Forbes, Guangchang is currently worth over $4 billion, and is a member of at least three different CCP-aligned organizations, including the 12th Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC).

Under the supervision and direction of the CCP, the CPPCC provides consultation and advisory input to various CCP legislative bodies.

A native of the Soviet Union, Latypova has a unique and insightful perspective into the geopolitics of communist China, which is located right next to Russia.

“In China, every large employer, especially in something strategic like biopharma sector, is controlled by the CCP,” she says, adding that this was also the case in her homeland.

“… in the Soviet Union, where each workplace had a ‘partorg,’ a representative supervisor from the Communist party, or a whole department of them.”

There is also a fourth party involved in all this: Israel. The Israeli Ministry of Health was added to the “pharmacovigilance” agreement for data sharing on Jan. 6, 2021, the day of the so-called “insurrection” in the U.S. capital.

Latypova says this foursome agreed to “count the bodies and share the data with each other.”

Latypova also maintains that the DoD was directly in charge of the production and distribution of all covid injections unleashed by the Trump administration and its Operation Warp Speed scheme.

These so-called “vaccines” were never categorized by the DoD as medicines or pharmaceuticals, but rather as “COVID countermeasures” under the authority of the military. This is why Trump unleashed them as a military operation after declaring covid to be a health emergency of a pandemic nature.
