Liberal Authorities in NYC to Track Residents’ Food Purchases and Place ‘Caps on Meat’ Served by Public Institutions

From [HERE] New York City will begin tracking the carbon footprint of household food consumption and putting caps on how much red meat can be served in public institutions as part of a sweeping initiative to achieve a 33% reduction in carbon emissions from food by 2030.

Mayor Eric Adams and representatives from the Mayor’s Office of Food Policy and Mayor’s Office of Climate & Environmental Justice announced the new programs last month at a Brooklyn culinary center run by NYC Health + Hospitals, the city’s public healthcare system, just before Earth Day.

At the event, the Mayor’s Office of Climate & Environmental Justice shared a new chart to be included in the city’s annual greenhouse gas inventory that publicly tracks the carbon footprint created by household food consumption, the Gothamist reported.

The city already produced emissions data from energy use, transportation and waste as part of the annual inventory. But the addition of household food consumption data is part of a partnership that London and New York launched with American Express, C40 Cities and EcoData lab, Commissioner Rohit Aggarwala from the NYC Department of Environmental Protection announced at the event.

Aggarwala — who founded Google smart city subsidiary Sidewalk Labs — celebrated the expanded data collection as forging “a new standard for what cities have to do” and a new way to shape policy.

He said the inventory also will measure greenhouse gas pollution from the production and consumption of other consumer goods like apparel, whether or not those items are made in New York City. It also tracks emissions tied to services like air travel and healthcare.

But Adams’ presentation at the event focused on food consumption, particularly meat and dairy.

“Food is the third-biggest source of cities’ emissions right after buildings and transportation,” Adams said. “But all food is not created equal. The vast majority of food that is contributing to our emission crises lies in meat and dairy products.”

He added:

“It is easy to talk about the emissions that’s coming from buildings and how it impacts our environment, but we now have to talk about beef. And I don’t know if people are ready for this conversation.”

Adams — a vegan who, according to a whistleblower, also eats fish, credits his “plant-based diet” for his recovery from diabetes. He is the author of “Healthy at Last: A Plant-Based Approach to Preventing and Reversing Diabetes and Other Chronic Illnesses,” a vegan cookbook.

Adams claims that changing New Yorkers’ eating habits will have both climate and health benefits. He said:

“We already know that a plant-powered diet is better for your physical and mental health, and I am living proof of that. But the reality is that thanks to this new inventory, we’re finding out it is better for the planet.”

But agricultural economists and regenerative farmers say that calculation isn’t actually that simple.

“Different meats have different kinds of greenhouse gas footprints” because of differences in the production systems and “all land is not created equal” Melissa McKendree, Ph.D., an agricultural economist at Michigan State University, told The Defender.

Land that is suitable for cattle production, such as rangeland and pasture, often isn’t suitable for other types of agriculture, and vice versa. And all of those different ecosystems for different plants and animals, when working well, work together to create a healthy ecosystem.

Alternative grazing systems, like the regenerative agricultural systems that McKendree researches, make it possible for pasture-raised beef “to sequester carbon, and to become a carbon sink” — actually reducing the greenhouse gas footprint of food production rather than adding to it.

Regenerative livestock farmer Will Harris told The Defender, “As a practitioner who has been regenerating depleted land for 30+ years I can tell you that regenerating land is about restarting the cycles of nature that have been broken by industrial farming — and restarting those cycles cannot be done cost effectively without animal impact.”

He continued:

“All ecosystems evolved with certain kinds of animal impact and to say we’ve misused technologies to break these cycles of nature and we are going to start them back by leaving out this essential ingredient that has been around for millennia is wrong.

“Sadly there is a percentage of the populace that for whatever reason has decided that animals in the ecosystem are bad and the way to have a healthier planet is to give up that animal impact.

“Many of us have proven that there is benefit, ecological benefit to having animal impact in the equation. It has to be done right, but when it is done right there is an ecological benefit, an ecological service that we provide.

“But this sector of society is so committed to the vegetarian vegan solution, that it doesn’t matter what we demonstrate, they are going to paint us with that same brush.

“They drown out our voices by screaming the same misapplied science over and over and over.”

Organization behind 15-minute city is mapping consumption-based emissions for New York and London

The partnership between American Express, New York, London and C40 Cities to map urban emissions was formally launched last week in a C40 press release. The groups will map the consumption-based emissions of both New York and London.

The press release does not make the purpose of emissions mapping inventories explicit. It simply states the inventories “will enable London and New York City to develop a suite of actions to incentivise more sustainable consumption in collaboration with people and businesses.”

It adds that the project “will also pioneer new ways for other cities to measure emissions from urban consumption,” adding that there is an “urgent need to reduce the emissions impact of urban consumption, especially what is eaten and the waste in food systems.”

To that end, “Building data inventories in partnership with city businesses (such as supermarket chains and retailers) is important for cities to measure, plan and act to ensure our cities become better places to live for all people and sustainable business can thrive.”

The press release bases its claims on a report by the University of Leeds and developer Arup Group.

Arup is a Rockefeller-supported, World Economic Forum-affiliated organization that uses “fourth industrial revolution” technologies to transform cities. They promise that immense quantities of highly detailed data,” can produce a “new level of control” making possible “more efficient and sustainable use of the world’s precious materials.” [MORE]

DoGooder Liberals Trying to Get Paid Off COVID: Large NYC Housing Provider for Mentally ill and Formerly Homeless People Evicting Hundreds of [mostly Black] Tenants to Collect $Millions in Back Rent

From [HERE] One of the largest providers of housing for mentally ill and formerly homeless people in New York City has started hundreds of eviction cases in an attempt to collect millions of dollars in rent that its tenants failed to pay during the pandemic, according to a new analysis of housing court records.

The housing developer, Breaking Ground, has filed to evict the tenants in about 345 of its more than 4,300 apartments since January 2022, according to SHOUT, an advocacy group for low-income and formerly homeless tenants that compiled the data. The cases came after a pandemic-era moratorium on evictions was lifted.

The analysis captures a longstanding practice among nonprofit housing providers that has been exacerbated by the pandemic, legal experts said: threatening to evict low-income tenants who are behind on rent as a tactic to prod the city to give those tenants rental assistance more quickly. The lawsuits come at a time when the city is dealing with record-high homelessness and surging demand for shelter from migrant asylum seekers.

Very few of the cases have led to evictions, but critics of the approach say that the lawsuits are an unnecessary hardship for some of the most vulnerable renters in the city, many of whom have lived on the streets or in shelters for years. They are also emblematic, they said, of dysfunction within the city’s social safety net, at a time when budget cuts are straining numerous departments.

“It’s a startling number of cases,” said Jenny Akchin, a lawyer with TakeRoot Justice, a nonprofit legal services group. “This has been standard operating procedure,” she said, “but it doesn’t have to be, and it really shouldn’t be.”

Another developer, CAMBA, has petitioned to evict more than a quarter of residents from one of its buildings in Brooklyn, according to court records.

The housing providers say the lawsuits are necessary, as a last resort, to recoup rent they rely on to operate the buildings and pay down debt.

They acknowledge that the filings are designed to trigger actions in court that can speed up the process of receiving a so-called one-shot deal — a lump-sum payment of emergency rental assistance that tenants can receive from the city’s Human Resources Administration to cover back rent.

The agency is struggling to meet the demand for one-shot deals and other cash assistance grants for tenants. In early May, the Department of Social Services said that its caseload was up 43 percent since before the pandemic. Staffing shortages are hampering the department, according to a city comptroller report. [MORE]

Black Power or Powerless? Black Elected Officials Are at All Levels in NYC but Report Finds 58% of Black Households and 65% of Latinos Live Below the Cost of Living, Unable to Afford to Live in City

The BASSO is a Neo-Negro shuffle performed by those who have bent over and touched their toes in order to be “loved” and accepted by the culture bandits. 2) the South Benders. (See: SNigger, Crossover, Criss-Crossover, Conservative Negro, Sambo, Uncle Tom-Tom, Hindlick Maneuver & Uncle Tom)

From [HERE] New York City is staring down the worst affordability crisis of the last two decades, according to a new report released on Tuesday. A full half of the city’s households did not have enough money to comfortably hold down an apartment, access sufficient food and basic health care, and get around, the report said.

The study is the latest piece of evidence to demonstrate the depth of the crisis, which is reshaping local demographics and culture in real time.

Public officials have been particularly alarmed by a significant drop in public school enrollment, which accelerated during the worst of the pandemic and is driven in part by Black families leaving the city over concerns about the cost of living. Mayor Eric Adams and Gov. Kathy Hochul have both made tackling the lack of affordability a priority, but it is unclear whether they will be able to make meaningful changes, particularly around housing.

The city is experiencing an acute shortage of affordable housing, an enormous problem that shows few signs of abating. Ms. Hochul’s push to build more housing across the state appears to have failed in recent state budget negotiations. Nearly 80 percent of households that did not bring in enough to meet the minimum cost of living in the city ended up contributing more than 30 percent of their income to housing, the study found.

The report was released Tuesday by the Fund for the City of New York, which advises government agencies and was established by the Ford Foundation in 1968, and the United Way of New York City. The reports’ authors used U.S. Census data from 2021 along with a measure that calculates the baseline for affordability for New York City families.

The study found that New Yorkers are even worse off than after the nadir of the pandemic. The groups’ 2021 report found that just over a third of city households could not keep up with the cost of living at the time, a figure that has since risen. The findings in this year’s report may partially reflect the challenges that low-income New Yorkers have faced when pandemic-era safety net programslike stimulus checks and child tax credits expired.

The percentage of households struggling to afford basic needs in the city was higher than any other year in the report’s two-decade history of studying the cost of living. Households in all five boroughs needed to be pulling in at least $100,000 to afford housing, food and transportation, and to have a shot at being able to plan for the future, the study found. In southern Manhattan, home to some of the most expensive ZIP codes in the country, families with two adults and two children needed to make at least $150,000 combined.

The actual median household income in the city was hovering around $70,000, according to the most recent Census data.

At the same time, food prices have risen steadily amid stubborn inflation, and public transportation officials have warned of looming fare hikes.

What to Know About Affordable Housing in New York

A worsening crisis. New York City is in a dire housing crunch, exacerbated by the pandemic, that has made living in the city more expensive and increasingly out of reach for many people. Here is what to know:

A longstanding shortage. While the city always seems to be building and expanding, experts say it is not fast enough to keep up with demand. Zoning restrictions, the cost of building and the ability by politicians to come up with a solution are among the barriers to increasing the supply of housing.

Rising costs. The city regulates the rents of many apartments, but more than one-third of renters in the city are still severely rent-burdened, meaning they spend more than 50 percent of their income on rent, according to city data. Property owners say higher rents are necessary for them to deal with the growing burden of taxes and rising expenses for property maintenance.

Public housing. Thousands of people are on waitlists for public housing in buildings overseen by the New York City Housing Authority. But it has been years since the city’s public housing system has received enough funds to deal with the many issues that have made it an emblem of neglect, and plummeting rent payments from residents threaten to make things worse.

Black Probotic MD Governor Grins A Lot but Delivers Little to Black Residents: 1/3 of Blacks and 46% of Latino Families Have Food Insufficiency and 80% of All households Behind on Rent are Non-White

ABOVE SIR GRIN A’LOT WESLEY MOORE ALWAYS PROMOTES ON THE ONGOING SMILING FACE TO MAKE RACIST LIBERALS FEEL SAFER AROUND THEIR SERVANTS.

From [HERE] With the federal health emergency nearing its end in mid-May, low-income Marylanders are still struggling with food insecurity and the costs of everyday household items, according to a statewide hunger-relief non-profit.

“Between inflation and the end of government pandemic emergency aid, the need for food assistance in Maryland remains high as the rates of food affordability, financial hardship, and food insufficiency continue to trend upward across all income groups,” according to a press release from the Maryland Food Bank.

According to the Maryland Food Bank, 36% of Maryland families surveyed reported that their children were sometimes not eating enough due to the cost of food, which is 12% higher than the previous month. This data comes from an analysis of the Household Pulse Survey data from the U.S. Census as of April 19.

Food insufficiencies have risen drastically among low-income and struggling families. Between March and April, the percent of families with incomes between $35,000 to $50,000 that reported struggling with food insecurity increased from 33% to 56%.

Similarly, the share of families earning between $50,000 to $70,000 experiencing food insecurity increased from 6% in March to 26% in April.

In addition, the percent of Marylanders reporting financial hardship, meaning the ability to pay for usual household expenses, has gone up from 36% in March to 38% in April, according to the Maryland Food Bank analysis.

Specifically non-white families have been hard the hardest. According to the report, 31% of Blacks and 46% of Latino families struggle with food insecurity, food insufficiency and meeting routine household costs. Additionally, 80% of behind all households behind on rent are non-white.

“For so much of the last three years, Marylanders were able to rely on emergency aid from the government to get through the pandemic, but now that those programs have expired and costs for everything continue to rise, we’re seeing the true prevalence of hunger in our state,” Carmen Del Guercio, president and CEO of Maryland Food Bank, said in a written statement.

The press release points to the end of a temporary boost for people using Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP benefits), as a factor for continuing food insecurity and unaffordability.

According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food and Nutrition Service, people using SNAP benefits, also known as food stamps, received additional support throughout the COVID pandemic. But those emergency allotments ended in February, even as inflation remains a concern for the country.

Supreme Ct Rejects Alabama Congressional Maps as Racially Gerrymandered

From [HERE] In a 5-4 vote, the US Supreme Court found Thursday in Allen v. Milligan that Alabama’s legislature violated the voting rights of Black Alabamians with the composition of the state’s congressional maps. Based upon section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, the court found that Alabama’s newly redrawn congressional maps closed off the political process to minority voters, denying them equal opportunity in Alabama’s voting processes. Alabama’s legislature must now redraw the maps, which previously “packed” most of the state’s Black population into just one of Alabama’s seven congressional districts.

Plaintiffs filed the case in November 2021 because they claimed that the way the Alabama legislature drew the state’s congressional maps was “malapportioned and racially gerrymandered.” Despite Black residents accounting for 27 percent of Alabama’s population, the legislature “packed” nearly all of the state’s Black voters into one congressional district. The plaintiffs argued that this reduced Black voters’ right to equal voting power under the Voting Rights Act, especially when compared to the state’s other six majority-white congressional districts.

Writing for the majority, Chief Justice Roberts relied upon Thornburg v. Gingles precedent which established a three-prong test to evaluate section 2 claims under the Voting Rights Act. The court reinforced the use of the three-pronged Gingles analysis: (1) the minority group bringing the section 2 claim must be “sufficiently large and…compact” enough to constitute a majority in one of the state’s districts; (2) the minority group must show it is politically cohesive; and (3) the minority group must show that the state’s white majority carries enough voting power “to defeat the minority’s preferred candidate.”

The court found that the plaintiffs satisfied all three prongs in this case, upholding the lower court’s decision. The court found no reason to disturb a district court finding in the case, which commented that “Black Alabamians enjoy virtually zero success in statewide elections.”

The court then rejected Alabama’s attempts to change the court’s approach to section 2 claims. Alabama first argued that their map, as opposed to maps generated by the plaintiffs, should win out because they adhered to an older version of the congressional map. The court disagreed, saying, “If that were the rule, a State could immunize from challenge a new racial discriminatory redistricting plan simply by claiming that it resembled an old racially discriminatory plan.” Alabama then argued that the court should instead adopt a “race-neutral benchmark” to resolve section 2 claims, wherein computer mapping software generates congressional maps without considering race at all. The court said such a benchmark would fail to account for the totality of the circumstances and found it “compelling neither in theory nor in practice.”

Alabama Secretary of State Wes Allen—the named defendant in Thursday’s decision—stated he was “disappointed” in the court’s decision. Nevertheless, Allen swore to “comply with all applicable election laws” moving forward in redrawing the state’s maps.

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) labeled the decision a “historic win for voting rights,” and the National Redistricting Foundation (NRF) called it “a landmark moment to move the needle in the right direction.”

Plaintiffs from the case also released a joint statement, reading in part, “Today, the Supreme Court reminded them of that responsibility by ordering a new map be drawn that complies with federal law – one that recognizes the diversity in our state rather than erasing it.”

Black Non-Profit Organizations Oppose New Death Penalty Laws in Several States, Citing Disproportionate Effect on Black and Latino Communities

From [HERE] Black-led organizations are opposing legislative efforts in several states to reintroduce or expand use of the death penalty.  Lawmakers in Illinois and New Jersey have introduced legislation to reinstate the death penalty, while other legislators in Tennessee and Florida have proposed bills which would increase its use. Tennessee Senate Bill 1112 would require an execution to be carried out within 30 days of sentencing. Governor DeSantis recently signed legislation that nullified jury unanimity by requiring only eight jurors to recommend a death sentence, and Senate Bill 1342 would prevent a Florida judge from reducing a jury’s recommendation for death sentence to life imprisonment.

In an article published in The Hill, Jamila Hodge, Executive Director of Equal Justice USA, said “If the death penalty is reinstated, or if we start seeing it applied more, we can expect it’s going to be applied in a disproportionate way and that those are the same racial disparities that we have seen over years. My concern is [the number of defendants of color sentenced to death] may even increase because the rhetoric lately has been so much stronger. We have to know that if we’re going to punish more, that it’s going to be disproportionately borne by Black and Brown communities.”

In addition to opposing the death penalty, Black-led organizations such as Equal Justice USA and REFORM are working to address the systemic inequities that affect many communities of color, including poverty, lack of opportunity, and inaccessibility to mental health resources. Robert Rooks (pictured, right), Chief Executive Officer of REFORM, stated, “There are many reasons why someone ends up in a criminal justice system…something happened, broke down. They are dealing with perhaps substance abuse, mental health issues, or frankly, they could be poor and not have a place to stay. I think you not only just help the individual, but you help the community when you find out what those root causes are and then you start working to address them.”

New Study Finds that Over the Past 2 Decades Higher Mortality Rates Among Blacks Have Resulted in 1.63 Million Excess Deaths Relative to Whites

From [HERE] Research has long shown that Black people live sicker lives and die younger than white people.

Now a new study, published in JAMA, casts the nation’s racial inequities in stark relief, finding that the higher mortality rate among Black Americans resulted in 1.63 million excess deaths relative to white Americans over more than two decades.

Because so many Black people die young — with many years of life ahead of them — their higher mortality rate from 1999 to 2020 resulted in a cumulative loss of more than 80 million years of life compared with the white population, the study showed.

Although the nation made progress in closing the gap between white and Black mortality rates from 1999 to 2011, that advance stalled from 2011 to 2019. In 2020, the enormous number of deaths from covid-19 — which hit Black Americans particularly hard — erased two decades of progress.

Authors of the study describe it as a call to action to improve the health of Black Americans, whose early deaths are fueled by higher rates of heart disease, cancer, and infant mortality.

“The study is hugely important for about 1.63 million reasons,” said Herman Taylor, an author of the study and director of the cardiovascular research institute at the Morehouse School of Medicine.

“Real lives are being lost. Real families are missing parents and grandparents,” Taylor said. “Babies and their mothers are dying. We have been screaming this message for decades.”

High mortality rates among Black people have less to do with genetics than with the country’s long history of discrimination, which has undermined educational, housing, and job opportunities for generations of Black people, said Clyde Yancy, an author of the study and chief of cardiology at Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine.

Black neighborhoods that were redlined in the 1930s — designated too “high risk” for mortgages and other investments — remain poorer and sicker today, Yancy said. Formerly redlined ZIP codes also had higher rates of covid infection and death. “It’s very clear that we have an uneven distribution of health,” Yancy said. “We’re talking about the freedom to be healthy.” [MORE]

Fed Court Sentences “Well Financed" Assassin who Murdered Haitian President Jovenel Moïse - Killed Shortly After He Rejected COVID Shots and Sought Real Vaccines [Haiti was Never Impacted by COVID]

How Did Haiti Defeat COVID w/Only 3% “Vaccinated” and No Lockdowns, Masks, Social Distancing or Full Hospitals?” Less than 1000 Dead from COVID in Poor Country w/11 Million People who Disbelieved Hoax

Haiti Didn't Participate in the Plandemic and Remains Unaffected; Poor Country w/11M People Didn't Socially Distance, Wear Masks and 1% Injected. Hospitals Aren't Full of COVID Patients, Only 837 Dead

Similar to Haiti and Some African Countries the Outcome in the Amish Community Proves that Not Shutting Down, Masking or Taking the "Vaccine" Didn't Result in More COVID Deaths

From [HERE] Rodolfe Jaar was sentenced to life in prison Friday by Judge Jose Martinez of the Southern District of Florida for his role in the assassination of Haitian President Jovenel Moise. In Jaar’s March plea agreement, he admitted to “knowingly and willfully” providing weapons and personnel in furtherance of the plot.

Jaar’s original indictment alleges that a group of 20 Colombian nationals with military backgrounds were recruited to “assist in the execution of a purported Haitian arrest warrant for President Moise.” Jaar allegedly housed several of those recruited for the plot and was in charge of providing weapons to the group. The indictment goes on to allege that:

…Jaar was present when co-conspirator #1 secured the signature of a former Haitian judge on a written request for assistance to further the arrest and imprisonment of President Moise, as well as purporting to provide Haitian immunity for such actions.

Said assassins were reportedly “well financed” and included at least one highly decorated soldier who received training from the United States and another who has been implicated in the murder of Colombian civilians. [MORE]

One week after Haiti's president was assassinated, the country's first shipment of COVID-19 vaccines finally arrived. President Jovenel Moïse was allegedly shot a dozen times in his private residence on July 7. Prior to his murder Haiti, the poorest nation in the Western hemisphere, was the only nation that hadn’t vaccinated a single resident against Covid-19.

Haiti was among the 92 poor and middle-income countries offered doses under the Covax Facility. But the government initially declined AstraZeneca PLC shots, citing side effects and widespread fears in the population.

“Haiti did not reject the offer of vaccines from Covax,” Haiti Ministry of Health General Director Laure Adrien said in a telephone interview. “All we asked was that they change the vaccine they were providing us.” [MORE]

The indictment goes on to allege that at least some of the conspirators thought the plan was to assassinate, rather than merely “arrest” or kidnap, Moise. Several conspirators then entered Moise’s home on July 7, 2021, killing Moise and injuring his wife.

The US has arrested several other alleged conspirators in South Florida, the alleged location where the assassination plan was devised. Samir Nasri Salem Handal has also been accused of participating in the plot, but Türkiye has refused to extradite him.

Haiti has been in political turmoil for some time, with the US Department of State warning travelers to avoid the country due to violent crime, kidnappings and political unrest. The US has also designated several political figures as being “involved in significant corruption” including former Haitian Prime Minister and Minister of Planning and External Cooperation Laurent Salvador Lamothe and former President of the Haitian Chamber of Deputies Gary Bodeau.

The Organization of American States (OAS) General Secretariat on Haiti has called on the international community to better support Haiti, saying, “Without the basic conditions of democracy and security, the country today is suffering from the international community’s lack of ideas and real capacity, as well as from its own structural problems.”

[Media Continues to Pretend COVID Shots are Vaccines and those Who Refuse to be Injected w/Bioweapons are Anti-Vax] Media Disinterested in what Caused Jamie Foxx's Injury as He Learns to Walk Again

Jamie Foxx left paralysed and blind after covid injection, says independent journalist

From [HERE] Reports surfaced Monday claiming movie star Jamie Foxx, who’s suspected to have suffered a Covid-19 vaccine injury, is at a rehab facility in Chicago re-learning how to walk.

RadarOnline.com reports:

Jamie Foxx is undergoing intense physiotherapy to aid his recovery in an effort to get back on his feet full-time, RadarOnline.com has been exclusively told.

While mystery continues to shroud the true extent of the megastar’s health, 55-year-old Foxx has suffered mobility struggles after the April 11 incident in Atlanta, where he was filming Netflix’s Back in Action, a well-placed source said.

“Jamie is receiving treatment at one of the top physical rehabilitation centers in the country,” the insider told RadarOnline.com.

“The clinic specializes in physical therapy programs to treat injuries or a physical condition that limits or prohibits the ability to walk or walk correctly.”

“They teach people how to walk again at this particular clinic,” the source added.

“Jamie would not be at this clinic if he was not impaired in some way as a result of whatever happened to him. But fans should rest assured: Jamie is in the best of care at this type of clinic.”

While RadarOnline.com would not disclose the exact clinic, they note it “specializes in stroke, brain injury, and spinal cord injuries.”

The report comes as independent journalist A.J. Benza dismissed claims Foxx’s health was fine, instead telling Dr. Drew Pinsky an inside source told him the truth about the Hollywood star’s vaccine-induced health complications.

“I had somebody in the room who let me know that Jamie had a blood clot in his brain after he got the shot,” Benza told Drew. [MORE]

Racists Giddy Over Shaq Getting Served w/Suit During NBA Game [if He Can be Sued for Being a Paid Spokesperson for FTX, Can Reporters/Celebs [disinfoTainers] be Sued for Promoting Deadly COVID Shots?]

From [HERE] Lawyers for FTX investors said they finally served Shaquille O’Neal—again. 

Process servers pursued the NBA legend for months as part of a lawsuit targeting the failed cryptocurrency exchange and celebrities who appeared in its ads. The other celebrity defendants didn’t contest their service of process, but O’Neal did. 

Process servers had tried to reach him at his homes and studio, and at one point tossed legal papers at his SUV. On Tuesday night, they got him in Miami at the Kaseya Center during Game 4 of the NBA’s Eastern Conference Finals, according to Adam Moskowitz, a lawyer representing the FTX investors. 

He was served the FTX complaint and a separate crypto-related lawsuit, Moskowitz said. O’Neal was at the venue, formerly known as FTX Arena, commentating for TNT.

 The plaintiffs in the FTX case said they had previously served O’Neal outside his home in Georgia in April, but O’Neal had disputed that in court.

Moskowitz said the process server bought a ticket to the Tuesday game between the Miami Heat and Boston Celtics. O’Neal was commentating on the game from a platform in the arena.

The process server approached O’Neal while he was on the platform and served him, Moskowitz said. O’Neal later had the process server thrown out of the arena, Moskowitz said. 

O’Neal was one of several celebrities who appeared in FTX ads who were sued after the crypto exchange collapse. Moskowitz said O’Neal went out of his way to duck being served, which O’Neal has denied in court papers.   

In an interview with CNBC in December, O’Neal distanced himself from FTX. “A lot of people think I’m involved, but I was just a paid spokesperson for a commercial,” he said. [MORE]

10 Blatant Lies Parroted by Media About COVID to Induce Public Consent to Take Deadly, Experimental COVID Injections

The Media’s False Messaging about COVID Shots Destroyed Informed Consent and Violated the Nuremberg Code. Also, Consent to Medical Experiments Obtained by Inducement is Fraud, Battery or Murder

[MORE] Remember, consent obtained by lies, halfTruths, non-disclosures, fraud, coercion is not lawful consent - it is induced consent, which is unlawful.

A plaintiff cannot ordinarily be regarded as actually consenting to the defendant's conduct if the plaintiff assented to the conduct while mistaken about the nature and quality of the invasion intended by the defendant. Likewise, an overt manifestation of assent or willingness would not be effective apparent consent if the defendant knew, or probably if he ought to have known in the exercise of reasonable care, that the plaintiff was mistaken as to the nature and quality of the invasion intended.... The decisions in this area have involved assent induced by fraud, in the sense that the defendant was either aware of the plaintiff's mistake or ignorance and failed to disclose the truth, or the defendant induced the mistake with representation which he knew was false. Prosser and Keeton on Torts § 18, at 119-20 (5th ed. 1984).

The failure to provide informed consent is a basis of medical malpractice. But it also may be the basis of a lawsuit for an intentional battery (murder), negligence or fraud.

Battery is an intentional, unwanted or offensive touching by another. A lawsuit for battery increases the likelihood of punitive damages and unlike a claim for negligence, no proof of injury or harm is necessary. A lawsuit for battery generally has a shorter statute of limitations than a claim for negligence.

Public Masters Acquit Dr Bhakdi in German Court after Bullshit Trial Over Statements He Made about the Genocidal Dangers of COVID Injections, which are Presently Killing People Worldwide

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

From [HERE] A prominent critic of Germany's plandemic restrictions has been acquitted after being charged over public comments he made about COVID injections. He was charged with “incitement of the masses” and “trivialization of the holocaust”

Dr. Sucharit Bhakdi is Professor Emeritus of Medical Microbiology and Immunology, Former Chair, Institute of Medical Microbiology and Hygiene, Johannes Gutenberg University of Mainz. He has analyzed and criticized COVID-19 and the mRNA vaccines since the very beginning of the so-called “COVID-19 Pandemic.” As a result, in order to silence him, he was vindictively accused of two unfounded charges in connection with two public statements he made in April and September of 2021.

Read the timeline of Dr. Bhakdi’s legal case.

https://doctors4covidethics.org/timeline-of-the-events/.

He stood trial at a hearing at the lower court in the northern town of Ploen. The court held that Bhakdi didn't break their law.

Prosecutors had unsuccessfully argued that comments about Israel could lead to Jews in Germany becoming the targets of hatred.

Judges also said that Bhakdi's claims about the COVID vaccine being part of a second Holocaust didn't constitute a downplaying of the Nazi genocide which killed 6 million Jews, public broadcaster NDR reported. Actually, pursuant to the COVID genocide many more millions may be slowly exterminated. [MORE]

COVID Shots Caused Teen’s Myocarditis Death: Suit says Authorities Induced Consent by Claiming Experimental Shots Were FDA Approved ("safe and effective"). But Approved Shots Remain Unavailable in US

From [HERE] The family of a 24-year-old man who died from complications of COVID-19 vaccine-induced myocarditis today filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD), which oversaw the development and distribution of the drug under Operation Warp Speed.

Ray Flores, the attorney representing the estate of George Watts Jr. (in photo) filed the lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia against the DOD and Lloyd Austin III in his official capacity as defense secretary.

The lawsuit alleges the DOD engaged in “willful misconduct” by continuing to exclusively allow distribution of the stockpiled version of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine that had been authorized for emergency use even after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted full approval to a different vaccine, Comirnaty.

According to the complaint, the DOD “capitalized on a quintessential ‘bait and switch’ fraud,” using the fact that Comirnaty was FDA-approved to bolster its claims that the vaccine authorized for emergency use was “safe and effective,” in a move that intentionally misled millions of Americans.

The DOD did this despite being fully aware that drugs granted Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) cannot legally be marketed as “safe and effective” because the FDA standard for EUA is only that drugs “may be effective.”

That means the DOD intentionally, without justification and with disregard for the risks, misrepresented an experimental vaccine as “safe and effective” when it could not legally use that terminology, the lawsuit states.

As a result, the lawsuit alleges, George Watts Jr. was misled into taking the investigational vaccine and he died as a result.

Attorney Michael Baum told The Defender in an email:

“This groundbreaking case filed by George Watts Jr.’s surviving family may provide a path for other Covid vaccine-injured individuals to seek recovery for their injuries.

“The Watts family’s complaint shines a light on the willful steps the Department of Defense took that led to Mr. Watts’ Pfizer-vaccine-induced death from myocarditis. Most people are unaware of the Department of Defense’s directing the development and distribution of the Pfizer-BioNTech Covid vaccine …

“The DOD’s actions led to Mr. Watts’ improper injection with the unapproved vaccine. The Watts family’s case provides an opportunity for a wider public awareness of how the Covid vaccine sausage got made under DOD’s irresponsible guidance and the tragic results of that conduct for Mr. Watts and unfortunately much of the American public.”

Children’s Health Defense (CHD) is funding the lawsuit.

Media Destroyed Informed Consent: The Only FDA Approved "Vaccine" is Comirnaty. It’s not Available in US. All Other Shots are Emergency Use, which are Legally Distinct, Not Interchangeable w/Comirnaty

CHD Appeals Dismissal of Lawsuit Against FDA for ‘Deceptive’ Approval of Pfizer’s Comirnaty Vaccine

Pfizer Has No Plans to Make Its FDA Approved COVID Vax. Unbeknownst to Sheople All Approved COVID Vax Remain UNAVAILABLE and Legally Distinct from Emergency Use Shots, which are Immune from Liability

FDA Quietly Grants Full Approval of Comirnaty Vax for Teens. Yet, It's not available in the US and Not the Same Formula as the Emergency Authorized Vax Falsely being Distributed as “fully approved”

All COVID Shots Remain Experimental: The Moderna Vax was Granted FDA Approval but Remains UNAVAILABLE and “Legally Distinct" from Their Emergency Use Vax, which is the Only One Offered, same w/Pfizer

Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) Means Total Immunity for Any Injury Caused by the Vax. Which is Why It is Sought for the Kid Vax and Why "Variants" are Necessary (to keep the Emergency going)

Watts waited for a vaccine he thought was ‘safe and effective’ 

Watts was a student at Corning Community College in Corning, New York, when in the summer of 2021, the school mandated the COVID-19 vaccine for all students attending fall classes. The mandate was part of the mandate at the State University of New York (SUNY), a network of 64 colleges and universities.

Watts waited to get vaccinated until the FDA “approved” the Pfizer Comirnaty vaccine and got his first dose at Guthrie Robert Packer Hospital in Pennsylvania on Aug. 27, 2021. He was administered the EUA Pfizer BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine.

The FDA approved the Pfizer Comirnaty vaccine on Aug. 23, 2021, but the DOD didn’t make it available.

Despite experiencing side effects from the first dose, Watts understood the vaccine to be “safe and effective,” so he took a second dose at the same location on Sept. 17, 2021.

Following the second dose, Watts experienced more severe side effects, including numbness in his extremities, difficulty grasping and holding objects, a sinus infection, cough and sensitivity to light. He visited the ER at the Guthrie hospital on Oct. 12, 2021, also complaining of a lump on the left side of his neck.

The hospital diagnosed him with sinusitis and prescribed an antibiotic. Watts returned to the ER on October 19, 2021, concerned that he was not improving.

After that, his health continued to decline.

On Oct. 27, 2021, at home with his mother, Watts began coughing up blood and then became unresponsive. His mother called 911 and administered CPR.

Watts was taken to the ER where he was found to be in cardiac arrest and subsequently died. He had no previous medical history that could explain his sudden death. Watts also tested negative for COVID-19 in a post-mortem test.

The medical examiner ruled his cause of death to be “complications of COVID-19 vaccine-related myocarditis.” His death certificate also listed COVID-19 vaccine-related myocarditis as the sole immediate cause of death.

An independent physician, Dr. Sanjay Verma, also attested the vaccine was the proximate cause of death as alleged in the complaint.

PREP Act protects vaccine producers, not vaccine-injured people

Watts’ family first sought compensation for his death under the Health Resources & Services Administration’s Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program (CICP).

The CICP was established under the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness (PREP) Act, which protects “covered persons” — such as pharmaceutical companies, or the DOD in this case — from liability for injuries sustained from “countermeasures,” such as vaccines and medications, administered during a public health emergency.

The only exception to PREP Act immunity is if a countermeasure-related injury is caused by “willful misconduct” by a covered person or entity.

Since the start of the pandemic, people claiming injuries related to COVID-19 vaccines and other countermeasures submitted 11,686 requests for compensation.

Of those, only 23 have been declared eligible for compensation. Most of those are undergoing a “medical benefits review” to determine payment. Since last month, when the CICP started making payments to COVID-19 vaccine-injured people, it has made four payments — amounting to a total of $8,592.52. Three of the claims were for myocarditis.

Watts’ family filed a request for benefits with the CICP in August 2022. They received no determination from the CICP within the 240-day period in which the CICP is supposed to respond to complaints.

As a result, to seek compensation for the loss of Watts’ life, his family is suing the DOD.

The DOD, Operation Warp Speed and the COVID vaccines

In January 2020, then-Health Secretary Alex M. Azar of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services declared a public health emergency for COVID-19.

The emergency declaration allowed the health secretary to make a PREP Act declaration so the FDA could issue an EUA for an unapproved vaccine or other “countermeasure” to address the emergency if the following emergency circumstances exist:

“(1) the existence of a serious or life-threatening disease; (2) a product ‘may be effective’ in treating or preventing it; (3) there is ‘no adequate, approved, and available alternative to the product for diagnosing, preventing or treating such disease or condition;’ (4) a risk-benefit analysis that measures both the known and potential benefits of the product against the known and potential risks of the product is positive; and (5) that the patient’s option to accept or decline the product is protected through informed consent.”

On May 15, 2020, the Trump White House announced Operation Warp Speed — a partnership between the White House and the DOD to accelerate the development, production and distribution of a COVID-19 vaccine.

Two months later, the DOD signed a contract with Pfizer to manufacture hundreds of millions of doses of its mRNA COVID-19 vaccine, guaranteeing that any vaccine produced under the contract would be protected under the PREP Act and therefore not subject to liability.

The FDA issued an EUA for the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine on Dec. 11, 2020, and Army Gen. Gustave F. Perna, Operation Warp Speed chief operating officer, announced the vaccine would be rapidly distributed across the country.

Drugs fully approved by the FDA must be found to be “safe, pure, and potent,” but EUA drugs are held to a lower standard — they are required only to demonstrate that they “may be effective,” according to the FDA.

But Perna and his boss, Austin III, conveyed the message that the EUA vaccines were “safe and effective,” and urged the healthcare community to do the same, in order to “counter widespread misinformation” about the vaccines, the lawsuit alleges.

After the FDA approved the Comirnaty vaccine, the DOD did not initiate its production and distribution but instead continued to distribute existing Pfizer EUA products.

As a result, although Watts waited for the COVID-19 vaccine to be FDA-approved, he still received a version of the vaccine that had not been FDA-approved as “safe and effective.”

According to the lawsuit, the DOD blurred the line between the two legally distinct vaccines, promoting the idea that the COVID-19 vaccine was FDA-approved and therefore “safe and effective” — while administering the vaccine that was only “authorized,” and therefore not legally allowed to be described as “safe.”

The DOD knowingly blurred this line, the lawsuit alleges, because it had already been found liable for violating informed consent and of imposing an experimental vaccine. In the 2004 case of Doe v. Rumsfeld, et al., a federal court ruled the DOD could not mandate the EUA anthrax vaccine for service members because forcing them to take an experimental vaccine violated their right to informed consent.

That ruling stated that absent informed consent or a presidential waiver, “The United States cannot demand that members of the armed forces also serve as guinea pigs for experimental drugs.”

The current lawsuit further alleges that the DOD knowingly deceived Watts and other Americans for the purpose of mass human experimentation, which violates protections provided by the Nuremberg Code.

According to the complaint, the DOD committed “willful misconduct,” having “deliberately misled Mr. Watts and the public at large by blurring the critical distinction between EUA and fully licensed vaccines,” which would nullify the protections afforded the DOD under the PREP Act.

It concludes that Watts died because he believed he was receiving safe and effective vaccines, but in fact “received the deadly ones.”

The lawsuit seeks “general, special, compensatory and punitive damages.”

Commenting on the significance of the case, Kim Mack Rosenberg, acting outside general counsel for CHD, told The Defender:

“The PREP Act purports to provide an extraordinary liability shield to the government, manufacturers, distributors, and others, related to COVID-19 vaccines and other so-called countermeasures covered by the act. The Watts complaint is an important and unprecedented challenge to that liability shield.

“The complaint threads the act’s needle by pointing the finger squarely at Operation Warp Speed leadership while raising critical legal challenges to the act’s protection, particularly where, as is alleged in the Watts complaint, a defendant like the Department of Defense has engaged in willful misconduct.

“But the complaint does more than that. It will educate about the PREP Act’s far reach, actions by the DOD during the ‘state of emergency,’ and the general lack of accountability for entities and individuals protected by the PREP Act.

“The public needs to understand that this act intentionally allows potentially bad actors to go unpunished. Here, a young man lost his life, and the government has remained silent, hiding behind a legal shield.

“That is not justice for George Watts or anyone else.”

US Public Health Authorities Suppressed Evidence Linking Myocarditis and COVID Injections Until After More Than Half US Population Had Received At Least One Dose Of The Shots

From [HERE] In a letter to the editor published today in Medical Research Archives, two Children’s Health Defense (CHD) scientists called for an investigation into how U.S. public health officials suppressed evidence linking myocarditis and COVID-19 vaccines until after more than half the U.S. population had received at least one dose of the shots.

In their letter, Brian S. Hooker, Ph.D., and Karl David Jablonowski, Ph.D., outlined the timeline of events showing how the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) lied to the public.

The letter examines who knew what and when during the early days of the epidemic of vaccine-induced myocarditis from FDA-authorized and CDC-recommended COVID-19 shots.

Myocarditis is a debilitating and often fatal cardiac condition. COVID-19 vaccine-induced myocarditis primarily afflicts children, although the CDC and FDA did not reveal the vaccine’s risk until after the agencies had approved it for use in this age group.

According to Hooker and Jablonowski, well before May 27, 2021, when the CDC revealed its report, “Myocarditis and Pericarditis following mRNA COVID-19 Vaccination,” the CDC, FDA, U.S. Department of Defense, Pfizer and the Israel Ministry of Health had documented evidence of myocarditis shortly after vaccination, predominantly among 16- to 24-year-old males.

“The CDC and FDA willfully chose to hide this information from the U.S. public,” Hooker said. “The dereliction of duty to serve public health interests is clear. We are now calling for an interagency investigation of the CDC and FDA modeled on the external investigation of NASA in the wake of the Columbia Disaster.”

The CDC and FDA ignored warnings from the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), a government-maintained database, during one of the most highly anticipated and consequential pharmaceutical rollouts in human history.

During the week of Feb. 19, while Americans were desperately waiting in line for the “safe and effective” cure to what government officials and the media portrayed as a global doomsday plague, VAERS received enough serious adverse event reports to show myocarditis is causally connected to the COVID-19 vaccine in young males, according to the letter.

The CDC and FDA continued to conceal the risk from the public, even after being directly asked by the Israel Ministry of Health about a link between myocarditis “in young individuals soon after Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine.”

On April 26, 2021, the CDC and FDA denied “safety signals” existed for myocarditis following COVID-19 jabs.

It was not until after the FDA granted Emergency Use Authorization and the CDC recommended the vaccination of children ages 12-15 that on May 27, 2021, the CDC revealed, “Since April 2021, there have been increased reports to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) of cases of inflammation of the heart…”.

“The CDC and FDA neglected to uphold public health interests and obstructed informed consent,” Hooker said.

“The erosion of trust runs so deep that the remedy must originate from an entity external to the CDC and FDA. We demand an immediate interagency investigation in order to fully inform and protect the American public.” [MORE]

The more doses of COVID Shots a person receives the higher the risk of getting the virus, according to a peer-reviewed study by the Cleveland Clinic

From [HERE] The more doses of COVID-19 vaccines a person receives the higher the risk of getting the virus, according to a peer-reviewed study by the Cleveland Clinic.

The researchers stated that the increased risk of COVID-19 associated with higher numbers of vaccine doses was “unexpected.”

Robby Soave, host of The Hill’s “Rising,” also commented on the study, saying the findings could not be disregarded as “anti-vaccine” because the researchers were not “setting out to disprove the effectiveness of vaccines.”

Moreover, the higher rate of COVID-19 infections among those who received multiple vaccine doses could not be rationalized by the notion that the individuals who received more doses of the COVID-19 vaccine were elderly — and therefore already more vulnerable to getting a COVID-19 infection — because the study participants were relatively young.

The study participants were Cleveland Clinic employees whose average age was 42.

The researchers suggested that natural immunity likely played a role in providing protection against COVID-19 infection among those with fewer COVID-19 vaccinations.

Soave said:

“I just keep thinking how the places in our society that are still trying to take this decision [of whether to get multiple doses of the COVID-19 vaccine] away from individuals — like university campuses where the bivalent [COVID-19 vaccine] is going to be required still in the fall … like how naive and unscientific it is to take that decision out of people and their doctors.”

Soave also criticized “the attempts to suppress criticism of vaccines — calling it all misinformation — that has occurred online and elsewhere for the last three years.”

“So short-sighted,” he added.

Soave said the official U.S. public health “approach” to COVID-19 vaccination — that everyone should get vaccinated and boosted — does not make sense because, according to the study’s findings, repeated vaccination does not correlate with greater protection against COVID-19 among young people.

“If you’re a healthy young person, really all you’re doing by getting your fifth or something dose is making it slightly more likely you are going to get COVID,” he said.

Moreover, if you look at what areas of society have requirements for vaccination, he said, it’s mostly “school-aged populations.”

Americans are likely to feel “justifiably outraged” when they read the study, Soave said, adding:

“People are going to feel, I think, so gaslit about all this stuff.”

New Analysis Finds that a High Percentage of COVID Deaths were Misclassified. Pneumonia Infection brought on by the use of Mechanical Ventilators Caused Hospital Deaths

From [HERE] COVID-19 is no longer classed as a global health emergency by the World Health Organization, but scientists are still working hard to understand more about the virus and its impact – including how the coronavirus affects the body and leads to death.

A new analysis suggests that a high percentage of people who required help from a ventilator due to a COVID-19 infection also developed secondary bacterial pneumonia. This pneumonia was responsible for a higher mortality rate than the COVID-19 infection.

So while COVID-19 may have put these patients in the hospital, it was actually an infection brought on by the use of a mechanical ventilator that was more likely to be the cause of death when this infection didn't respond to treatment.

"Our study highlights the importance of preventing, looking for, and aggressively treating secondary bacterial pneumonia in critically ill patients with severe pneumonia, including those with COVID-19," says Benjamin Singer, a pulmonologist at Northwestern University in Illinois.

The team looked at records for 585 people admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) at Northwestern Memorial Hospital, also in Illinois. They all had severe pneumonia and/or respiratory failure, and 190 had COVID-19.

Using a machine learning approach to crunch through the data, the researchers grouped patients based on their condition and the amount of time they spent in intensive care.

The findings refute the idea that a cytokine storm following COVID-19 – an overwhelming inflammation response causing organ failure – was responsible for a significant number of deaths. There was no evidence of multi-organ failure in the patients studied.

Instead, COVID-19 patients were more likely to develop ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) and for longer periods. Cases where VAP didn't respond to treatment were significant in terms of the overall mortality rates in the study. [MORE]
