And this is what happens when you put government in charge of welfare and healthcare. Men are prone to corruption without oversight. The Department of Justice is just now getting around to a few hundred of these and you can be assured there are hundreds more that the same government that unconstitutionally offers these healthcare programs has failed to prosecute. However, here we are with an unjust government prosecuting those it has enabled to take from the federal coffers without the delegated authority to do so by the people.
RT has the story.
The US Department of Justice has announced charges for nearly 350 suspects in a sweeping bust linked to healthcare fraud. Among them are scores of medical professionals accused of scamming federal programs and private insurers.
The DOJ went public with the nationwide takedown on Wednesday, saying it had filed charges against 345 defendants across 51 federal districts, including more than 100 doctors, nurses and other healthcare workers.
“These defendants have been charged with submitting more than $6 billion in false and fraudulent claims to federal health care programs and private insurers,” the department said in a statement, noting that a flurry of different federal agencies took part in the investigation, led by the DOJ’s criminal division.
[The fraud included] more than $4.5 billion connected to telemedicine, more than $845 million connected to substance abuse treatment facilities, or “sober homes,” and more than $806 million connected to other health care fraud and illegal opioid distribution schemes across the country.
The lion’s share of the fraud was linked to “telemedicine” – in which doctors remotely diagnose and treat patients via phone or video chat. According to Department of Health and Human Services Deputy Inspector General Gary Cantrell, “bad actors” in the industry often use “aggressive marketing techniques” to mislead patients about their medical needs, and then “bill the government for illegitimate services” at exorbitant fees.
Some 86 suspects involved in the practice were slapped with charges across 19 districts, in some cases paying “illegal kickbacks and bribes” to medical companies that participated in the scheme. Others are accused of submitting false claims to Medicare and other government insurers.
More than a dozen defendants were indicted for making false claims related to drug rehabilitation centers, including physicians, facility owners and “patient recruiters” – or those paid to seek out drug addicts in order to enroll them into treatment clinics to keep the fraud scheme going. Many of the patients were subjected to “medically unnecessary” drug screenings, allowing treatment centers to bill insurers for thousands of dollars per test. They also charged for therapy sessions that never actually took place, while some of the doctors involved handed out unneeded medications, at times to “entice” patients to remain in treatment. Many of those patients were later shopped around to other clinics in exchange for illegal kickbacks.
Some doctors also provided illicit prescriptions for highly addictive opioid drugs – which include morphine, oxycodone and fentanyl – some 30 million doses of which were handed out by physicians without medical justification.
The DOJ alleged another $800 million in fraud in connection to other attempts to swindle Medicare and Medicaid, as well as other government and private insurance programs, indicting 240 additional suspects.
The massive fraud bust highlights a number of controversies surrounding the broader US healthcare apparatus, including the ongoing opioid epidemic – which has claimed some 450,000 lives in the US since 1999, according to the CDC – sky-high costs for medical care and health insurance, as well as overall poor management of the system.
While ‘Medicare for all’ continues to be a rallying cry for American progressives, who’ve called to expand the program designed for the elderly to all citizens, opponents of state-provided healthcare argue government intervention only raises costs and lowers quality, some pointing to the inflated premiums that resulted from the former president Barack Obama’s Affordable Care Act.
Once again, I don’t care what it is, whether Medicare, Medicaid or Obamacare, it’s socialized medicine and it is unconstitutional, period.

Robbins, IL — Early on a Sunday morning back in November 2018, a tragedy took place in Illinois after a hero security guard stopped what was quickly becoming a deadly mass shooting.

“Ballot harvesting” (allowing political operatives and others to collect voters’ ballots and turn them in en masse to polling stations) is ripe for fraud and interference, and has drawn bipartisan concerns of fraud from election watchers.

U.S. Supreme Court to review AZ “Ballot Harvesting” law
By: The Associated Press, Oct 02, 2020:
PHOENIX — The Supreme Court said Friday it will review a 2016 Arizona law that bars anyone but a family member or caregiver from returning another person’s early ballot.
The law itself, however, remains in effect through the presidential election and until the justices rule.
A federal appeals court ruled in January that Arizona’s law banning so-called “ballot harvesting” violates the Voting Rights Act and the Constitution, but the court put its ruling on hold while the Supreme Court was asked to take the case.

thewashingtonstandard--2020-10-03--Australia: Muslim Migrant Grooms 14-Year-Old Girl For Sex:  In My Culture There’s No Minimum Age

Mustafa Naseri is right about Afghan culture , which is , of course , deeply rooted within Islam .
Islamic tradition records that Muhammad consummated his marriage with ( i.e.
, raped ) Aisha when she was nine , and the resultant fact that child marriage is accepted in wide swaths of the Islamic world .
Child marriage has abundant attestation in Islamic tradition and law .
Turkey ’ s directorate of religious affairs ( Diyanet ) said in January 2018 that under Islamic law , girls as young as nine can marry .
“ Islam has no age barrier @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for those who refuse to accept this ” — Ishaq Akintola , professor of Islamic Eschatology and Director of Muslim Rights Concern , Nigeria “ There is no minimum marriage age for either men or women in Islamic law .
The law in many countries permits girls to marry only from the age of 18 .
This is arbitrary legislation , not Islamic law.
” — Dr. Abd Al-Hamid Al- ‘ Ubeidi , Iraqi expert on Islamic law There is no minimum age for marriage and that girls can be married “ even @ @ @ @ @ @ @ — Dr. Salih bin Fawzan , prominent cleric and member of Saudi Arabia ’ s highest religious council “ Islam does not forbid marriage of young children.
” — Pakistan ’ s Council of Islamic Ideology Hadiths that Muslims consider authentic record that Muhammad ’ s favorite wife , Aisha , was six when Muhammad wedded her and nine when he consummated the marriage : Another tradition has Aisha herself recount the scene : The Prophet engaged me when I was a girl of six ( years ) .
We went to Medina @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bin Khazraj .
Then I got ill and my hair fell down .
Later on my hair grew ( again ) and my mother , Um Ruman , came to me while I was playing in a swing with some of my girl friends .
She called me , and I went to her , not knowing what she wanted to do to me .
She caught me by the hand and made me stand at the door of the house .
I was breathless then , and when my breathing became all @ @ @ @ @ @ @ rubbed my face and head with it .
Then she took me into the house .
There in the house I saw some Ansari women who said , “ Best wishes and Allah ’ s Blessing and a good luck.
” Then she entrusted me to them and they prepared me ( for the marriage ) .
Unexpectedly Allah ’ s Apostle came to me in the forenoon and my mother handed me over to him , and at that time I was a girl of nine years of age .
( Bukhari @ @ @ @ @ @ @ time fifty-four years old .
Marrying young girls was not all that unusual for its time , but because in Islam Muhammad is the supreme example of conduct ( cf .
Qur ’ an 33:21 ) , he is considered exemplary in this unto today .
And so in April 2011 , the Bangladesh Mufti Fazlul Haque Amini declared that those trying to pass a law banning child marriage in that country were putting Muhammad in a bad light : “ Banning child marriage will cause challenging the marriage of the holy prophet @ @ @ @ @ @ @ moral character of the prophet into controversy and challenge.
” He added a threat : “ Islam permits child marriage and it will not be tolerated if any ruler will ever try to touch this issue in the name of giving more rights to women.
” The Mufti said that 200,000 jihadists were ready to sacrifice their lives for any law restricting child marriage .
Likewise the influential website Islamonline.com in December 2010 justified child marriage by invoking not only Muhammad ’ s example , but the Qur ’ an as well : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mentioned the waiting period [ i.e .
for a divorced wife to remarry ] for the wife who has not yet menstruated , saying : “ And those who no longer expect menstruation among your women , if you doubt , then their period is three months , and [ also for ] those who have not menstruated ” [ Qur ’ an 65:4 ] .
Since this is not negated later , we can take from this verse that it is permissible to have sexual intercourse with a prepubescent girl .
The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ books of jurisprudence which mention what the implications of things are , even if they are prohibited .
It is true that the prophet entered into a marriage contract with A ’ isha when she was six years old , however he did not have sex with her until she was nine years old , according to al-Bukhari .
Other countries make Muhammad ’ s example the basis of their laws regarding the legal marriageable age for girls .
Article 1041 of the Civil Code of the Islamic Republic of Iran states that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of nine , and married at nine : “ Marriage before puberty ( nine full lunar years for girls ) is prohibited .
Marriage contracted before reaching puberty with the permission of the guardian is valid provided that the interests of the ward are duly observed.
” According to Amir Taheri in The Spirit of Allah : Khomeini and the Islamic Revolution ( pp .
90-91 ) , Iran ’ s Ayatollah Khomeini himself married a ten-year-old girl when he was twenty-eight .
Khomeini called marriage to a prepubescent girl “ a divine @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to give their own daughters away accordingly : “ Do your best to ensure that your daughters do not see their first blood in your house.
” When he took power in Iran , he lowered the legal marriageable age of girls to nine , in accord with Muhammad ’ s example .
“ Afghan man Mustafa Naseri , who groomed teenager for sex , says age gap is ‘ the norm ’ in his culture , ” by Kathryn Bermingham , NCA NewsWire , October 1 , 2020 : An Afghan man @ @ @ @ @ @ @ activity explained that , in his culture , an age gap was “ the norm ” and there was no minimum age for sexual activity .
Mustafa Naseri , 21 , thought he was speaking with a teenager over the messaging app Kik in March and July last year .

Naseri this week avoided jail , instead placed on a bond after he pleaded guilty to two grooming offences .

Naseri , who arrived in Australia in 2008 , later asked if she would meet up and engage in a sexual act with him .
A meeting was arranged but he was eventually arrested at a railway station in Adelaide .
Sentencing him in the District Court , Judge Geraldine Davison said Naseri told police he was from Afghanistan , where there is no minimum age for sexual activity… .
An expert psychologist agreed the behaviour was partly “ underpinned by ( Naseri @ @ @ @ @ @ @ traditional beliefs about children and marriage ” .
But Judge Davison said the offending was not as serious as some other cases that come before the court , and it was fortunate there was no young victim involved .
She said Naseri had a difficult upbringing but has worked hard , and a prison sentence was not necessary… .
He was handed a two-year good behaviour bond , and could be required to participate in therapy or counselling .

Mustafa Naseri is right about Afghan culture, which is, of course, deeply rooted within Islam. Islamic tradition records that Muhammad consummated his marriage with (i.e., raped) Aisha when she was nine, and the resultant fact that child marriage is accepted in wide swaths of the Islamic world.

There is no minimum age for marriage and that girls can be married “even if they are in the cradle.” — Dr. Salih bin Fawzan, prominent cleric and member of Saudi Arabia’s highest religious council
“Islam does not forbid marriage of young children.” — Pakistan’s Council of Islamic Ideology
Hadiths that Muslims consider authentic record that Muhammad’s favorite wife, Aisha, was six when Muhammad wedded her and nine when he consummated the marriage:
“The Prophet wrote the (marriage contract) with Aisha while she was six years old and consummated his marriage with her while she was nine years old and she remained with him for nine years (i.e. till his death)” (Bukhari 7.62.88).
Another tradition has Aisha herself recount the scene:
The Prophet engaged me when I was a girl of six (years). We went to Medina and stayed at the home of Bani-al-Harith bin Khazraj. Then I got ill and my hair fell down. Later on my hair grew (again) and my mother, Um Ruman, came to me while I was playing in a swing with some of my girl friends. She called me, and I went to her, not knowing what she wanted to do to me. She caught me by the hand and made me stand at the door of the house.

Unexpectedly Allah’s Apostle came to me in the forenoon and my mother handed me over to him, and at that time I was a girl of nine years of age. (Bukhari 5.58.234).
Muhammad was at this time fifty-four years old.

thewashingtonstandard--2020-10-03--Black Lives Matter Leaders Support Violent Riots, Biden Won’t Condemn Them

After the recent toll of mostly peaceful Black Lives Matter rioting wrecked cities and tilted the polls toward Trump , Joe Biden and even Kamala Harris began condemning “ violence ” .
Biden has said meaningless things like “ we condemn the violence ” , and “ I condemn this violence unequivocally ” as if violence were an independent entity .
Condemning violence , like condemning war , is either pacifism or evasion .
Since Biden isn ’ t a pacifist , he ’ s evading .
Violence is a concept .
You don ’ t condemn a concept : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ embraced Black Lives Matter , they even fundraised on behalf of the rioters and looters .
Senator Kamala Harris tweeted out a link to the Minnesota Freedom Fund which bailed out rioters and looters , and Jaleel Stallings , who was accused of shooting at police officers .
According to police officers , Stallings had crouched near a car during the riots and opened fire on them .
He faced two counts of attempted second-degree murder and the bail fund backed by Kamala Harris and several Biden staffers still bailed out the alleged @ @ @ @ @ @ @ details , then his condemnation of “ violence ” actually turns out to be a condemnation of cops and conservatives .
Or , as he put it , “ I have condemned all forms of violence – police violence , lawless violence and violence perpetrated by extreme , right-wing militia groups.
” When he condemns “ violence ” , he really means he ’ s condemning the police .
The closest that Biden comes to condemning the violence by Black Lives Matter , a racist domestic terrorist group which has devastated entire cities @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
And he does it so vaguely as not to offend BLM and its supporters while giving the shopkeepers whose lifetime of work , his supporters burned to the ground , the false impression he stands with them .
Biden ’ s toothless condemnations of “ violence ” are a meaningless cowardly evasion of moral responsibility .
He ’ ll even occasionally condemn “ looting or destroying property or burning churches ” without naming who ’ s going around looting , destroying , and burning churches .
Burning churches is a bad thing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will name the church burners .
And when Biden fails to condemn Black Lives Matter , he supports its violent riots .
Even while the media falsely claims that the riots are peaceful , the hate group ’ s co-founders , Patrisse Cullors , Alicia Garza and Opal Tometi , have not been asked to condemn it .
On the rare occasions when they ’ ve been asked about it , they ’ re deflected or dismissed the violence .
Ask BLM ’ s co-founders about the hate group ’ s violent riots @ @ @ @ @ @ @ question by dismissing it as a mere issue of property and claim that they value life more .
That ’ s despite the fact that hundreds of first responders and civilians have been wounded in the riots .
Speaking at a Penn State virtual event , Cullors described rioters as “ expressing righteous rage ” and suggested that society needs to avoid situations where “ people feel like they have to be so desperate that they disrupt people ’ s businesses.
” Not only didn ’ t the Black Lives Matter co-founder condemn @ @ @ @ @ @ @ justified it , while denouncing capitalism .
Cullors , who has in the past been paid $ 10,000 to appear at virtual college events , is represented by CAA , the top talent agency in the country which was accused of complicity in Harvey Weinstein ’ s abuses , and whose clients include Tom Cruise and Robert De Niro .
She ’ s also the author of “ When They Call You a Terrorist : A Black Lives Matter Memoir ” , with an introduction by Angela Davis , a domestic terrorist who @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from Assata Shakur , a black nationalist cop-killer listed by the FBI as a most wanted terrorist .
That quote from the fugitive cop killer , “ It is our duty to fight for our freedom ” has become a BLM chant It appears in Shakur ’ s biography just after she indirectly mentions the shootout that killed Trooper Werner Foerster and hails the “ guerrillas ” of her Black Liberation Army terrorist group .
The phrase just before the chant is , “ We must gain our liberation by any means necessary @ @ @ @ @ @ @ dedication to , among other black nationalist terrorists , Mark Essex , a racist killer who opened fire on New Year ’ s Eve in New Orleans killing , among others , a honeymooning couple .
Betty Steagall was shot in the back of her head while embracing her murdered husband .
Essex left a Black Liberation flag lying near the corpses of the doctor and his wife .
This is not the chant of a peaceful movement , but of a violently racist terrorist organization .
And it ’ s been utilized @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Democrat caucus .
“ I just don ’ t equate the loss of life and the loss of property , ” Alicia Garza , another BLM co-founder , replied , when asked about the violence .
“ We want to value our love of people over property.
” Not only did Garza fail to condemn the violence , she reduced it to a question of property , while reframing the violent riots as a love of people over property .
Property , like violence , is an abstraction , a way to avoid @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , when the small shop they ’ ve poured their life and dreams into goes up in flames , while BLM ’ s founders get tens of thousands of taxpayer dollars to condemn capitalism and defend the looting .
When the National Guard was sent to Baltimore , Garza complained that the soldiers were “ standing between Black people and access to resources , they are protecting property ” .
“ I ’ ll be really honest : I ’ m not really concerned about broken glass , ” Opal Tometi , the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Property can be replaced , people can not .
” Not only do all of Black Lives Matter ’ co-founders find ways to justify the violent riots , but some local chapters , which have more control , have been more direct about supporting the violence .
After the massive outbreak of looting in Chicago , Black Lives Matter Chicago issued a press release describing looters as protesters , and claimed that the products in the stores were “ hoarded ” wealth .
The official press release ranted that “ black lives are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ downtown corporations ” and claimed that , “ when protesters attack high-end retail stores that are owned by the wealthy and service the wealthy , that is not ‘ our ’ city.
” Black Lives Matter Chicago organizer Ariel Atkins called the looting , “ reparations ” , claimed that , “ winning has come through riots , ” and declared , “ I will support the looters.
” “ Anything they want to take , take it , ” she said .
Hawk Newsome , the Greater New York Chair of BLM @ @ @ @ @ @ @ claimed that America is based on looting .
“ People just manifested it in different ways .
Some people there just raised their fists and said ‘ I stand with the masses.

I don ’ t care that white people in their f____ office buildings are upset.
” Abdullah , like her hate group ’ s co-founders , dismissed the rioting .
“ The looting is not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is the source of the protesting .
Focusing on broken windows is a deliberate decision.
” The media has repeatedly mischaracterized Black Lives Matter riots as “ mostly peaceful ” as long as there is a prologue during which the racists at the rally chant slogans before the violence begins .
This is a fundamental distortion of the truth .
A peaceful march ends peacefully .
A violent rally ends violently .
A mostly peaceful march is really a violent riot .
Would you go out and meet someone if they told you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ?
A peaceful event has to be peaceful all the time .
Or it ’ s violent .
A mostly peaceful event is like a mostly non-toxic toothpaste , a mostly safe ladder , or a mostly solid bridge .
Mostly counts when it comes to statistics , not when it comes to harm and danger .
Most serial killers were mostly peaceful .
They spent less than 1 % of their time hunting and killing their victims .
That ’ s not what peaceful means .
Like Biden ’ s condemnations of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Nobody in the media bothers to ask or discuss whether the Black Lives Matter philosophy and ideology is peaceful .
That ’ s because there ’ s a large body of evidence that shows it isn ’ t .
Instead the media nods along as BLM leaders pull the same tired old trick of reframing their movement ’ s violence as an affirmation of the value of black lives and reduce their victims to “ property ” .
Black Lives Matter violence springs directly from the violent ideology of black nationalism .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ secret of drawing their inspiration from domestic terrorists like Assata Shakur and Angela Davis .
Democrats and their media choose to ignore these facts .
After the poll numbers turned against both Black Lives Matter violence and the movement , Joe Biden began condemning the violence , as if it exists apart from its perpetrators , without condemning the violent movement whose rioters were carrying out the violence .
Anyone can condemn an abstract evil .
The challenge is condemning the perpetrators .
Joe Biden refuses to condemn Black Lives Matter .
He @ @ @ @ @ @ @ part of his base .
While Americans are increasingly turning against the racist hate group , Democrats still back it .
After months of rioting , support for Black Lives Matter has dropped 12 % among Americans , but only 4 % among Democrats , 92 % of whom still support the violent black nationalist movement .
And so Joe ’ s trying to have it both ways .
He ’ s condemning the violence while allying with the violent .
He won ’ t disavow BLM or his endorsement from Angela Davis @ @ @ @ @ @ @ He ’ s refusing to condemn the perpetrators , while condemning the outcome .
That ’ s as worthless as his career and his candidacy .
If you support the violent , you support the violence .
If your campaign and your veep help fund bail for a group bailing out rioters and an attempted cop-killer , you can ’ t claim , as Biden does , to oppose violence “ across the board ” .
Until Biden publicly breaks with the Black Lives Matter movement and condemns its violence by name , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ store , every wounded cop , every terrorized child , every lost job , and every broken American city .

After the recent toll of mostly peaceful Black Lives Matter rioting wrecked cities and tilted the polls toward Trump, Joe Biden and even Kamala Harris began condemning “violence”.
Biden has said meaningless things like “we condemn the violence”, and “I condemn this violence unequivocally” as if violence were an independent entity. Condemning violence, like condemning war, is either pacifism or evasion. Since Biden isn’t a pacifist, he’s evading.
Violence is a concept. You don’t condemn a concept: you condemn its perpetrators.
The Democrats embraced Black Lives Matter, they even fundraised on behalf of the rioters and looters. Senator Kamala Harris tweeted out a link to the Minnesota Freedom Fund which bailed out rioters and looters, and Jaleel Stallings, who was accused of shooting at police officers.
According to police officers, Stallings had crouched near a car during the riots and opened fire on them. He faced two counts of attempted second-degree murder and the bail fund backed by Kamala Harris and several Biden staffers still bailed out the alleged wannabe cop-killer.
Once Biden goes into details, then his condemnation of “violence” actually turns out to be a condemnation of cops and conservatives. Or, as he put it, “I have condemned all forms of violence – police violence, lawless violence and violence perpetrated by extreme, right-wing militia groups.” When he condemns “violence”, he really means he’s condemning the police.
The closest that Biden comes to condemning the violence by Black Lives Matter, a racist domestic terrorist group which has devastated entire cities, is condemning the “lawless”. And he does it so vaguely as not to offend BLM and its supporters while giving the shopkeepers whose lifetime of work, his supporters burned to the ground, the false impression he stands with them.
Biden’s toothless condemnations of “violence” are a meaningless cowardly evasion of moral responsibility. He’ll even occasionally condemn “looting or destroying property or burning churches” without naming who’s going around looting, destroying, and burning churches.
Burning churches is a bad thing. But not so bad that Biden will name the church burners. And when Biden fails to condemn Black Lives Matter, he supports its violent riots.
Even while the media falsely claims that the riots are peaceful, the hate group’s co-founders, Patrisse Cullors, Alicia Garza and Opal Tometi, have not been asked to condemn it. On the rare occasions when they’ve been asked about it, they’re deflected or dismissed the violence.
Ask BLM’s co-founders about the hate group’s violent riots and they’ll typically reframe the question by dismissing it as a mere issue of property and claim that they value life more. That’s despite the fact that hundreds of first responders and civilians have been wounded in the riots.
Speaking at a Penn State virtual event, Cullors described rioters as “expressing righteous rage” and suggested that society needs to avoid situations where “people feel like they have to be so desperate that they disrupt people’s businesses.” Not only didn’t the Black Lives Matter co-founder condemn her movement’s violence, she justified it, while denouncing capitalism.
Cullors, who has in the past been paid $10,000 to appear at virtual college events, is represented by CAA, the top talent agency in the country which was accused of complicity in Harvey Weinstein’s abuses, and whose clients include Tom Cruise and Robert De Niro.
She’s also the author of “When They Call You a Terrorist: A Black Lives Matter Memoir”, with an introduction by Angela Davis, a domestic terrorist who endorsed Biden, and an opening quote from Assata Shakur, a black nationalist cop-killer listed by the FBI as a most wanted terrorist.
That quote from the fugitive cop killer, “It is our duty to fight for our freedom” has become a BLM chant It appears in Shakur’s biography just after she indirectly mentions the shootout that killed Trooper Werner Foerster and hails the “guerrillas” of her Black Liberation Army terrorist group.
The phrase just before the chant is, “We must gain our liberation by any means necessary”.
After the chant is a dedication to, among other black nationalist terrorists, Mark Essex, a racist killer who opened fire on New Year’s Eve in New Orleans killing, among others, a honeymooning couple. Betty Steagall was shot in the back of her head while embracing her murdered husband. Essex left a Black Liberation flag lying near the corpses of the doctor and his wife.
This is not the chant of a peaceful movement, but of a violently racist terrorist organization. And it’s been utilized by Democrats, including the Arizona Senate Democrat caucus.
“I just don’t equate the loss of life and the loss of property,” Alicia Garza, another BLM co-founder, replied, when asked about the violence. “We want to value our love of people over property.”
Not only did Garza fail to condemn the violence, she reduced it to a question of property, while reframing the violent riots as a love of people over property. Property, like violence, is an abstraction, a way to avoid confronting what happens when people are terrorized, when the small shop they’ve poured their life and dreams into goes up in flames, while BLM’s founders get tens of thousands of taxpayer dollars to condemn capitalism and defend the looting.
When the National Guard was sent to Baltimore, Garza complained that the soldiers were “standing between Black people and access to resources, they are protecting property”.
“I’ll be really honest: I’m not really concerned about broken glass,” Opal Tometi, the third BLM co-founder, argued. “Property can be replaced, people cannot.”
Not only do all of Black Lives Matter’ co-founders find ways to justify the violent riots, but some local chapters, which have more control, have been more direct about supporting the violence.
After the massive outbreak of looting in Chicago, Black Lives Matter Chicago issued a press release describing looters as protesters, and claimed that the products in the stores were “hoarded” wealth. The official press release ranted that “black lives are and always will be more important than downtown corporations” and claimed that, “when protesters attack high-end retail stores that are owned by the wealthy and service the wealthy, that is not ‘our’ city.”
Black Lives Matter Chicago organizer Ariel Atkins called the looting, “reparations”, claimed that, “winning has come through riots,” and declared, “I will support the looters.”
“Anything they want to take, take it,” she said.
Hawk Newsome, the Greater New York Chair of BLM, refused to condemn looting and instead claimed that America is based on looting.
“People just manifested it in different ways. Some people there just raised their fists and said ‘I stand with the masses.’ Other people were there to destroy things,” Newsome had said earlier of the Minneapolis BLM riots.
Melina Abdullah, the lead organizer of Black Lives Matter in Los Angeles, whose chapter has collaborated with Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam, had its rally lead to multiple attacks on Jewish synagogues and businesses complete with antisemitic chants and graffiti.
Before the rioting began, her daughter, and the co-founder of the BLM Youth Vanguard, ranted, “I know you want to tear some s___ up… if you want to set some corporations on fire, you know what? I don’t care about Target burning. I don’t care that capitalism burns. I don’t care that white people in their f____ office buildings are upset.”
Abdullah, like her hate group’s co-founders, dismissed the rioting. “The looting is not as violent as the police violence that is the source of the protesting. Focusing on broken windows is a deliberate decision.”
Much like Kristalnacht.
The media has repeatedly mischaracterized Black Lives Matter riots as “mostly peaceful” as long as there is a prologue during which the racists at the rally chant slogans before the violence begins. This is a fundamental distortion of the truth. A peaceful march ends peacefully. A violent rally ends violently. A mostly peaceful march is really a violent riot.
Would you go out and meet someone if they told you it would be a mostly peaceful encounter?
A peaceful event has to be peaceful all the time. Or it’s violent. A mostly peaceful event is like a mostly non-toxic toothpaste, a mostly safe ladder, or a mostly solid bridge. Mostly counts when it comes to statistics, not when it comes to harm and danger. Most serial killers were mostly peaceful. They spent less than 1% of their time hunting and killing their victims.
That’s not what peaceful means. Like Biden’s condemnations of violence, it’s an evasion.

Anthony Fauci: The Most Despised Con-man On The Planet Is Being Hailed By Time Magazine As One Of The Most Influential…See How This Works
“If ye were of the world, the world would love his own:” -John 15:19
Time Magazine has once again outdone themselves by playing a very dangerous game with American freedoms from praising Transgenders, lesbians and sodomites to the likes of Black Lives Matter founders, to criminal Kamala Harris, treasonous Joe Biden, activist from the bench John Roberts to the loony and psychotic Nancy Pelosi.

Anthony Fauci: The Most Despised Con-man On The Planet Is Being Hailed By Time Magazine As One Of The Most Influential…See How This Works
When we look to the standard, the Word of God, we can see as to what is being played out here right before our faces.
After this thing, Jeroboam (Corrupt high arch) returned not from his evil way (Refused to follow Gods moral Law), but made again of the lowest of the people priests of the high places (Actors, musicians, priests, politicians, reporters, judges, etc): whosoever would, he consecrated him, and he became one of the priests of the high places. -1 Kings 13:33
In other words, the powers that were tolerated would take the baser sorts such as liars, thieves, murderers, and cons and put them up as the standard in hopes that the people would emulate them (Isaiah 14:9-14).
All of this was done by ill-designing men to wield more control over the masses (Ephesians 4:14).
Oh, how these immoral criminals love to be praised and one another!
Jesus said, “And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God” (Luke 16:15).
Time Magazine has a long history of this sort of self-degrading, shameful and demeaning propaganda, along with the mainstream media (John 8:44).
Time has propped up the likes of war criminal and pedophile Henry Kissinger, tyrants and mass murderers Adolph Hitler, Joesph Stalin, Ayatollah Khomeini, and the treasonous foreign sodomite Barack Hussein Obama, as well as others.
So, you can rest assured that whatever Time Magazine puts up as praiseworthy, God and His Word is sure to condemn. Maybe this explains why 94% of the American people do not trust them!

As The Dominoes Begin To Fall… Michigan Supreme Court Shuts Down Governor For Lack of “Constitutional Authority!”
“The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government-lest it come to dominate our lives.” -Patrick Henry
First, there was North Carolina, then Pennsylvania, and now we have Michigan, where the judges are doing a fantastic job in discovering the law and applying the law (Deuteronomy 25:1). I thank God for good government and those who are actually holding to their sworn oaths (Judges 2:16).
Over the last 6 months, it has been quite clear to see the corrupt taking off their masks while unlawfully mandating their constituents to wear masks. One such tyrant is that of Michigan’s Gretchen Whitmer (Daniel 3:1-6).
Up to this point, I do not know that I have seen a more defiant and rebellious incumbent than that of the Gretchen Whitmer.
She is dictatorial, defiant, arrogant, hateful and even vindictive to those she should be representing and serving (Matthew 20:28).
Whitmer has even gone so far as to tell businesses in her state not to serve the people that come to their prospective businesses in order to buy and or sell (Revelation 13:10).
Crains Detriot reported:
The Michigan Supreme Court on Friday struck a blow to Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s governance of the state during the coronavirus pandemic, ruling her use of a 1945 emergency powers law violated the state Constitution.
Whitmer has used the law since April 30 to issue executive orders under a state of emergency regulating capacity limits in public-facing businesses, public mask use, school reopenings and limiting the size of public and private gatherings.
In landmark 4-3 decision, the state’s highest court ruled Whitmer’s use of the 1945 law “is in violation of the constitution of our state because it purports to delegate to the executive branch the legislative powers of state government — including its plenary (Unqualified) police powers — and to allow the exercise of such powers indefinitely.”
“As a consequence, the EPGA cannot continue to provide a basis for the Governor to exercise emergency powers,” the Republican-nominated Justices Stephen Markman, Brian Zahra, David Viviano and Beth Clement wrote in the majority opinion.
The Supreme Court’s ruling says Whitmer lacked the authority to declare a “state of emergency” or a “state of disaster” under a 1976 emergency management law after April 30, the last day the Legislature authorized the governor to declare the state under emergency.”
Remember, it is not a virus that they are attacking, friend. It is your God-given rights that are under attack.

thewashingtonstandard--2020-10-03--Wall Street Is Bracing For A “Nightmare Scenario” To Unfold On November 3rd…

Did you watch the presidential debate ?
All over America , people are still buzzing about it , because it was definitely unlike any presidential debate that we have ever seen before .
But despite all the chaos , the debate gave us tremendous clarity on one very important issue .
Unless there is a blowout of historic proportions , it is exceedingly unlikely that either side will be willing to concede on the night of the election or any time shortly thereafter .
In other words , the winner of the election may not be known until a long @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is being called “ the nightmare scenario Wall Street wants to avoid ” … The winner may not be known for days or weeks — and even then , the election could be contested .
That ’ s the nightmare scenario Wall Street wants to avoid .
“ It was chaos , ” Kristina Hooper , chief investment strategist at Invesco , said of the debate .
“ I walked away from last night thinking there is an even greater chance of a contested election.
” The election of 2016 was very close @ @ @ @ @ @ @ because enough votes had been counted to make it clear that she was not going to be able to get enough electoral votes to win .
But this time around it is being projected that up to 40 percent of the population will vote by mail , and counting votes that are sent in by mail is a very slow process .
And many of the votes that are sent in by mail will not even be received until a number of days after the election , and that will just prolong the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ facing… Both sides have recruited vast armies of lawyers , and it is very difficult to imagine either President Trump or Joe Biden rushing to concede the race .
Instead , it is much more likely that what we will go through will be “ Bush v. Gore on steroids ” , and many on Wall Street are anticipating a violent stock market decline if that happens .
But of much greater concern is what is happening to the real economy .
It appears that a new wave of corporate layoffs has begun @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be a very bitter holiday season for millions of Americans .
At this point , even some of our most monolithic institutions are letting people go .
When I heard that Goldman Sachs was eliminating 400 jobs , I thought that there must be some mistake .
But there is no mistake .
They are making cuts because times are hard and will only be getting harder .
If even “ the Vampire Squid ” is laying workers off , what hope is there for the rest of us ?
On Wednesday we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Shell will be losing their jobs… If the U.S. economy really was in the process of “ turning around ” , would we be seeing layoff announcements like this day after day ?
And it is those at the bottom of the economic food chain that have been hit the hardest… Prior to this crisis , most Americans were living paycheck to paycheck , and many of them have families to support .
So what do you do when your income is gone but the expenses are still there ?
Yesterday , I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ employees could soon lose their jobs .
One of those employees that is on the verge of being laid off is 41-year-old Toni Valentine… Can you imagine what it must be like for her right now ?
She has been a faithful employee for 15 years , and now everything that she has worked for is about to be taken away .
51-year-old Tiffany Burgin is another woman that has had her career rudely interrupted by this pandemic .
She had worked her way up to become an assistant manager at a restaurant @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , but now she fears that her job may be gone permanently if the tourists never return… The only way that tourism will return to previous levels is if this virus goes away , but at this point , it has become clear that is simply not going to happen .
So she will continue to have to try to survive on her meager unemployment checks , and that certainly is not easy… I wish that I had some good news for workers such as Burgin and Valentine , but I don ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will eventually get a whole lot worse .
But in the short-term , the country is fixated on the upcoming election , and every day we see more evidence that both sides are bracing for a very long battle .
I know that there are supporters of both candidates that believe that a “ nightmare scenario ” can still be avoided because they are convinced that their guy is going to blow the other candidate out of the water on election night .
We shall see what happens , but I don ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ work out that way .
Instead , I believe that we are headed for a horror show , and I don ’ t think that America will ever be the same again after this .

Did you watch the presidential debate? All over America, people are still buzzing about it, because it was definitely unlike any presidential debate that we have ever seen before. But despite all the chaos, the debate gave us tremendous clarity on one very important issue. Unless there is a blowout of historic proportions, it is exceedingly unlikely that either side will be willing to concede on the night of the election or any time shortly thereafter. In other words, the winner of the election may not be known until a long time after November 3rd, and this is being called “the nightmare scenario Wall Street wants to avoid”…
The winner may not be known for days or weeks — and even then, the election could be contested. That’s the nightmare scenario Wall Street wants to avoid. “It was chaos,” Kristina Hooper, chief investment strategist at Invesco, said of the debate. “I walked away from last night thinking there is an even greater chance of a contested election.”
The election of 2016 was very close, but Hillary Clinton conceded fairly rapidly because enough votes had been counted to make it clear that she was not going to be able to get enough electoral votes to win.
But this time around it is being projected that up to 40 percent of the population will vote by mail, and counting votes that are sent in by mail is a very slow process.
And many of the votes that are sent in by mail will not even be received until a number of days after the election, and that will just prolong the period of uncertainty that we are potentially facing…
One of the major uncertainties is how long it will take to count the surge of mail-in ballots that is expected because of the pandemic. Some states don’t even begin that process until Election Day. Others accept mail-in ballots received after Election Day if they are postmarked by a certain date.
Both sides have recruited vast armies of lawyers, and it is very difficult to imagine either President Trump or Joe Biden rushing to concede the race.
Instead, it is much more likely that what we will go through will be “Bush v. Gore on steroids”, and many on Wall Street are anticipating a violent stock market decline if that happens.
But of much greater concern is what is happening to the real economy. It appears that a new wave of corporate layoffs has begun, and that means that it will be a very bitter holiday season for millions of Americans.
At this point, even some of our most monolithic institutions are letting people go. When I heard that Goldman Sachs was eliminating 400 jobs, I thought that there must be some mistake.
But there is no mistake. They are making cuts because times are hard and will only be getting harder.
If even “the Vampire Squid” is laying workers off, what hope is there for the rest of us?
On Wednesday we also learned that approximately 9,000 employees of Shell will be losing their jobs…
Royal Dutch Shell announced on Wednesday plans to cut up to 9,000 jobs, or over 10% of its workforce, as part of a major overhaul to shift the oil and gas giant to low-carbon energy. Shell, which had 83,000 employees at the end of 2019, said that the reorganisation will lead to additional annual savings of around $2 billion to $2.5 billion by 2022 beyond cost cuts of $3 to $4 billion announced earlier this year.
If the U.S. economy really was in the process of “turning around”, would we be seeing layoff announcements like this day after day?
I don’t think so.
And it is those at the bottom of the economic food chain that have been hit the hardest…
The economic collapse sparked by the pandemic is triggering the most unequal recession in modern U.S. history, delivering a mild setback for those at or near the top and a depression-like blow for those at the bottom, according to a Washington Post analysis of job losses across the income spectrum. Recessions often hit poorer households harder, but this one is doing so at a scale that is the worst in generations, the analysis shows.
Prior to this crisis, most Americans were living paycheck to paycheck, and many of them have families to support.
So what do you do when your income is gone but the expenses are still there?
Yesterday, I discussed the fact that 100,000 airline industry employees could soon lose their jobs. One of those employees that is on the verge of being laid off is 41-year-old Toni Valentine…
Toni Valentine, 41, a United reservations agent in Detroit who has been with the airline for 15 years, has been told she’ll be laid off this week. She has six children ranging in age from 2 to 22, and her husband can’t work because he’s recovering from a massive stroke. “Knowing that I may not have insurance benefits, I feel like I have failed,” she said on a conference call set up by the Machinists Union. “I’m the primary breadwinner in this family.”
Can you imagine what it must be like for her right now?
She has been a faithful employee for 15 years, and now everything that she has worked for is about to be taken away.
51-year-old Tiffany Burgin is another woman that has had her career rudely interrupted by this pandemic. She had worked her way up to become an assistant manager at a restaurant in the French Quarter of New Orleans, but now she fears that her job may be gone permanently if the tourists never return…
“The writing is on the wall. I don’t think my owner is going to make it,” said Tiffany Burgin, an assistant manager of a restaurant in the French Quarter of New Orleans that remains closed. “It’s a 100% tourist-driven economy here. Until the tourists come back, we’re screwed.” Burgin, 51, never got a college degree. She climbed her way up the ranks of New Orleans’ booming restaurant industry, serving entrees and tending bar for years before becoming a manager. But she has not worked since mid-March, after a mass of tourists caught the coronavirus following Mardi Gras celebrations. Many establishments in the French Quarter are still boarded up.
The only way that tourism will return to previous levels is if this virus goes away, but at this point, it has become clear that is simply not going to happen.
So she will continue to have to try to survive on her meager unemployment checks, and that certainly is not easy…
“I get $247 a week in unemployment,” Burgin said. “Who can live on that? Who? Nobody I know. I haven’t been this poor since I was a teenager.”
I wish that I had some good news for workers such as Burgin and Valentine, but I don’t. In fact, economic conditions will eventually get a whole lot worse.
But in the short-term, the country is fixated on the upcoming election, and every day we see more evidence that both sides are bracing for a very long battle.
I know that there are supporters of both candidates that believe that a “nightmare scenario” can still be avoided because they are convinced that their guy is going to blow the other candidate out of the water on election night.
We shall see what happens, but I don’t think that it is going to work out that way.
Instead, I believe that we are headed for a horror show, and I don’t think that America will ever be the same again after this.

In what looks like a scene out of 1930s Germany, over a dozen Fresno police department cops are seen on body camera footage raiding an apartment complex. They were looking for a single individual who may have been in violation of probation, so they detained an entire party and searched everyone.
They demand everyone get out of their homes and sit on the floor, treating everyone like criminals as they allegedly searched the apartment for this person. Wallace has no ties to gangs and has never received so much as a traffic ticket.
“Attention, apartment 204, this is the Fresno Police Department. If you’re inside make your presence known,” and officer can be heard yelling over a bullhorn.
At this point, Wallace — who hadn’t done anything wrong — was being frisked and told to sit down. As he backs up and tries to comply with the officer’s order, he apparently didn’t move fast enough for the tyrant cop who then shoved him.
Wallace pulled back his arm when the cop shoved him once more, which made the officer snap.
Officer Martinez then started punching Wallace in the face, over and over. As the video shows, Wallace is pleading with the officers to stop hitting him as he is not resisting and simply trying to cover his face from the punches.
As the officers pile their weight on top of Wallace, the teen cannot get off of his own arm. He tries telling the cops this, but they do not listen and instead respond with more blows to the face. Once Wallace is handcuffed, he is left crying, bleeding from his mouth, nose, and forehead.
Martinez would go on to justify this abuse and subsequent beat down by writing in his report that he thought Wallace was going to try to run away.
He would then charge Wallace with resisting arrest. Case closed.

“They have officers standing there, people seated all around them. They are at a big time disadvantage, and they’re still pulling people out of the apartment, and they still don’t know what inside that apartment. Are there more people? Are they potentially armed?” said Fraizer.

That’s happened to Mayor Wheeler in Portland, but he’s still going to prop up the thugs who came after him because it’s what his political movement is now.
The top U.S. prosecutor in Oregon on Wednesday rejected a request from Portland’s mayor to end the federal deputation of dozens of police officers as part of the response to ongoing protests, saying it was the only way to end “lawlessness.” In a joint statement, U.S. Attorney for Oregon Billy J. Williams and Russ Berger, the U.S. Marshal in the state, swatted down Mayor Ted Wheeler’s request and called him out for a “lack of leadership” that they said has allowed acts of violence to overshadow more than four months of nearly nightly protests since the death of George Floyd.
Portland and Oregon officers were deputized because it was the only way to get them to show up, particularly Oregon State cops, when the Black Lives Matter thugs that were assaulting them were getting a free pass.
Mayor Wheeler would like to go back to the free pass.
“A key feature of the designation is that anyone who assaults a federally deputized official could be subject to federal charges,” Wheeler’s statement said. “Fortunately, I am confident the Multnomah County district attorney will continue to prosecute anyone who assaults or otherwise harms police officers or others.”
The officers aren’t. And they have good reason not to be.
