thewashingtonstandard--2020-05-26--From 9/11 to COVID-19, It’s Been a Perpetual State of Emergency

Don ’ t pity this year ’ s crop of graduates because this COVID-19 pandemic caused them to miss out on the antics of their senior year and the pomp and circumstance of graduation .
Pity them because they have spent their entire lives in a state of emergency .
They were born in the wake of the 9/11 attacks ; raised without any expectation of privacy in a technologically-driven , mass surveillance state ; educated in schools that teach conformity and compliance ; saddled with a debt-ridden economy on the brink of implosion ; made vulnerable by the blowback @ @ @ @ @ @ @ against shadowy enemies ; policed by government agents armed to the teeth ready and able to lock down the country at a moment ’ s notice ; and forced to march in lockstep with a government that no longer exists to serve the people but which demands they be obedient slaves or suffer the consequences .
Unfortunately , we who should have known better failed to maintain our freedoms or provide our young people with the tools necessary to survive , let alone succeed , in the impersonal jungle that is modern America @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by divorce , distracted by mindless entertainment , and obsessed with the pursuit of materialism .
We institutionalized them in daycares and afterschool programs , substituting time with teachers and childcare workers for parental involvement .
We turned them into test-takers instead of thinkers and automatons instead of activists .
We allowed them to languish in schools which not only look like prisons but function like prisons , as well—where conformity is the rule and freedom is the exception .
We made them easy prey for our corporate overlords , while instilling in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ technology-driven culture devoid of any true spirituality .
And we taught them to believe that the pursuit of their own personal happiness trumped all other virtues , including any empathy whatsoever for their fellow human beings No , we haven ’ t done this generation any favors .
Given the current political climate and nationwide lockdown , things could only get worse .
For those coming of age today ( and for the rest of us who are muddling along through this dystopian nightmare ) , here are a few bits of advice @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the perils ahead .
Be an individual .
For all of its claims to champion the individual , American culture advocates a stark conformity which , as John F. Kennedy warned , is “ the jailer of freedom , and the enemy of growth.
” Worry less about fitting in with the rest of the world and instead , as Henry David Thoreau urged , become “ a Columbus to whole new continents and worlds within you , opening new channels , not of trade , but of thought.
” Learn your rights @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for one simple reason : most of us don ’ t know anything about our freedoms .
At a minimum , anyone who has graduated from high school , let alone college , should know the Bill of Rights backwards and forwards .
However , the average young person , let alone citizen , has very little knowledge of their rights for the simple reason that the schools no longer teach them .
So grab a copy of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights , and study them at home .
And @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for your rights before it ’ s too late .
Speak truth to power .
Don ’ t be naive about those in positions of authority .
As James Madison , who wrote our Bill of Rights , observed , “ All men having power ought to be distrusted.
” We must learn the lessons of history .
People in power , more often than not , abuse that power .
To maintain our freedoms , this will mean challenging government officials whenever they exceed the bounds of their office .
Resist all @ @ @ @ @ @ @ t measure your worth by what you own or earn .
Likewise , don ’ t become mindless consumers unaware of the world around you .
Resist all things that numb you , put you to sleep or help you “ cope ” with so-called reality .
Those who establish the rules and laws that govern society ’ s actions desire compliant subjects .
However , as George Orwell warned , “ Until they become conscious , they will never rebel , and until after they rebelled , they can not become conscious.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ change the world for the better .
Don ’ t let technology turn you into zombies .
Technology anesthetizes us to the all-too-real tragedies that surround us .
Techno-gadgets are merely distractions from what ’ s really going on in America and around the world .
As a result , we ’ ve begun mimicking the inhuman technology that surrounds us and have lost our humanity .
We ’ ve become sleepwalkers .
If you ’ re going to make a difference in the world , you ’ re going to have to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the cell phones and spend much less time viewing screens .
Help others .
We all have a calling in life .
And I believe it boils down to one thing : You are here on this planet to help other people .
In fact , none of us can exist very long without help from others .
If we ’ re going to see any positive change for freedom , then we must change our view of what it means to be human and regain a sense of what it means to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will mean gaining the courage to stand up for the oppressed .
Refuse to remain silent in the face of evil .
Throughout history , individuals or groups of individuals have risen up to challenge the injustices of their age .
Nazi Germany had its Dietrich Bonhoeffer .
The gulags of the Soviet Union were challenged by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn .
America had its color-coded system of racial segregation and warmongering called out for what it was , blatant discrimination and profiteering , by Martin Luther King Jr. And then there was Jesus Christ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , who not only died challenging the police state of his day—namely , the Roman Empire—but provided a blueprint for civil disobedience that would be followed by those , religious and otherwise , who came after him .
What we lack today and so desperately need are those with moral courage who will risk their freedoms and lives in order to speak out against evil in its many forms .
Cultivate spirituality , reject materialism and put people first .
When the things that matter most have been subordinated to materialism , we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ must change our values to reflect something more meaningful than technology , materialism and politics .
Standing at the pulpit of the Riverside Church in New York City in April 1967 , Martin Luther King Jr. urged his listeners : [ W ] e as a nation must undergo a radical revolution of values .
We must rapidly begin the shift from a “ thing-oriented ” society to a “ person-oriented ” society .
When machines and computers , profit motive and property rights are considered more important than people , the giant @ @ @ @ @ @ @ militarism are incapable of being conquered .
Pitch in and do your part to make the world a better place .
Don ’ t rely on someone else to do the heavy lifting for you .
Don ’ t wait around for someone else to fix what ails you , your community or nation .
As Mahatma Gandhi urged : “ Be the change you wish to see in the world.
” Stop waiting for political saviors to fix what is wrong with this country .
Stop waiting for some political savior to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s wrong with this country .
Stop allowing yourselves to be drawn into divisive party politics .
Stop thinking of yourselves as members of a particular political party , as opposed to citizens of the United States .
Most of all , stop looking away from the injustices and cruelties and endless acts of tyranny that have become hallmarks of American police state .
Be vigilant and do your part to recalibrate the balance of power in favor of “ we the people.
” Say no to war .
Addressing the graduates at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at a time when the country was waging war “ on different fields , on different levels , and with different weapons , ” Twilight Zone creator Rod Serling declared : Too many wars are fought almost as if by rote .
Too many wars are fought out of sloganry , out of battle hymns , out of aged , musty appeals to patriotism that went out with knighthood and moats .
Love your country because it is eminently worthy of your affection .
Respect it because it deserves your respect .
Be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ survive without your loyalty .
But do not accept the shedding of blood as a natural function or a prescribed way of history—even if history points this up by its repetition .
That men die for causes does not necessarily sanctify that cause .
And that men are maimed and torn to pieces every fifteen and twenty years does not immortalize or deify the act of war… find another means that does not come with the killing of your fellow-man .
Finally , prepare yourselves for what lies ahead .
The demons of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ politicians—delight in fomenting violence , sowing distrust and prejudice , and persuading the public to support tyranny disguised as patriotism .
Overcoming the evils of our age will require more than intellect and activism .
It will require decency , morality , goodness , truth and toughness .
As Serling concluded in his remarks to the graduating class of 1968 : “ Toughness is the singular quality most required of you… we have left you a world far more botched than the one that was left to us… Part of your challenge is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ up with a point of view not dictated to you by anyone , be he a congressman , even a minister… Are you tough enough to take the divisiveness of this land of ours , the fact that everything is polarized , black and white , this or that , absolutely right or absolutely wrong .
This is one of the challenges .
Be prepared to seek out the middle ground … that wondrous and very difficult-to-find Valhalla where man can look to both sides and see the errant truths that exist on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ left or you must swing right—respect the other side .
Honor the motives that come from the other side .
Argue , debate , rebut—but don ’ t close those wondrous minds of yours to opposition .
In their eyes , you ’ re the opposition .
And ultimately … ultimately—you end divisiveness by compromise .
And so long as men walk and breathe—there must be compromise… Are you tough enough to face one of the uglier stains upon the fabric of our democracy—prejudice ?
It ’ s the basic root of most @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the sickness of man .
And it ’ s a part of man ’ s admission , his constant sick admission , that to exist he must find a scapegoat .
To explain away his own deficiencies—he must try to find someone who he believes more deficient… Make your judgment of your fellow-man on what he says and what he believes and the way he acts .
Be tough enough , please , to live with prejudice and give battle to it .
It warps , it poisons , it distorts and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ worse than a bomb … and worst of all it cheapens and demeans anyone who permits himself the luxury of hating.
” The only way we ’ ll ever achieve change in this country is for people to finally say “ enough is enough ” and fight for the things that truly matter .
It doesn ’ t matter how old you are or what your political ideology is : wake up , stand up , speak up , and make your citizenship count for something more than just voting .
Pandemic or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ freedoms to be curtailed and your voice to be muzzled .
It ’ s our civic duty to make the government hear us—and heed us—using every nonviolent means available to us : picket , protest , march , boycott , speak up , sound off and reclaim control over the narrative about what is really going on in this country .
Mind you , the government doesn ’ t want to hear us .
It doesn ’ t even want us to speak .
In fact , as I make clear in my @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the American People , the government has done a diabolically good job of establishing roadblocks to prevent us from exercising our First Amendment right to speech and assembly and protest .
Still we must persist .
So get active , get outraged , and get going : there ’ s work to be done .

“The fundamental political question is why do people obey a government. The answer is that they tend to enslave themselves, to let themselves be governed by tyrants. Freedom from servitude comes not from violent action, but from the refusal to serve. Tyrants fall when the people withdraw their support.”—Étienne De La Boétie, The Politics Of Obedience
Don’t pity this year’s crop of graduates because this COVID-19 pandemic caused them to miss out on the antics of their senior year and the pomp and circumstance of graduation.
Pity them because they have spent their entire lives in a state of emergency.
They were born in the wake of the 9/11 attacks; raised without any expectation of privacy in a technologically-driven, mass surveillance state; educated in schools that teach conformity and compliance; saddled with a debt-ridden economy on the brink of implosion; made vulnerable by the blowback from a military empire constantly waging war against shadowy enemies; policed by government agents armed to the teeth ready and able to lock down the country at a moment’s notice; and forced to march in lockstep with a government that no longer exists to serve the people but which demands they be obedient slaves or suffer the consequences.
It’s a dismal start to life, isn’t it?
Unfortunately, we who should have known better failed to maintain our freedoms or provide our young people with the tools necessary to survive, let alone succeed, in the impersonal jungle that is modern America.
We brought them into homes fractured by divorce, distracted by mindless entertainment, and obsessed with the pursuit of materialism. We institutionalized them in daycares and afterschool programs, substituting time with teachers and childcare workers for parental involvement. We turned them into test-takers instead of thinkers and automatons instead of activists.
We allowed them to languish in schools which not only look like prisons but function like prisons, as well—where conformity is the rule and freedom is the exception. We made them easy prey for our corporate overlords, while instilling in them the values of a celebrity-obsessed, technology-driven culture devoid of any true spirituality. And we taught them to believe that the pursuit of their own personal happiness trumped all other virtues, including any empathy whatsoever for their fellow human beings
No, we haven’t done this generation any favors.
Given the current political climate and nationwide lockdown, things could only get worse.
For those coming of age today (and for the rest of us who are muddling along through this dystopian nightmare), here are a few bits of advice that will hopefully help as we navigate the perils ahead.
Be an individual. For all of its claims to champion the individual, American culture advocates a stark conformity which, as John F. Kennedy warned, is “the jailer of freedom, and the enemy of growth.” Worry less about fitting in with the rest of the world and instead, as Henry David Thoreau urged, become “a Columbus to whole new continents and worlds within you, opening new channels, not of trade, but of thought.”
Learn your rights. We’re losing our freedoms for one simple reason: most of us don’t know anything about our freedoms. At a minimum, anyone who has graduated from high school, let alone college, should know the Bill of Rights backwards and forwards. However, the average young person, let alone citizen, has very little knowledge of their rights for the simple reason that the schools no longer teach them. So grab a copy of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, and study them at home. And when the time comes, stand up for your rights before it’s too late.
Speak truth to power. Don’t be naive about those in positions of authority. As James Madison, who wrote our Bill of Rights, observed, “All men having power ought to be distrusted.” We must learn the lessons of history. People in power, more often than not, abuse that power.

Resist all things that numb you. Don’t measure your worth by what you own or earn. Likewise, don’t become mindless consumers unaware of the world around you. Resist all things that numb you, put you to sleep or help you “cope” with so-called reality. Those who establish the rules and laws that govern society’s actions desire compliant subjects. However, as George Orwell warned, “Until they become conscious, they will never rebel, and until after they rebelled, they cannot become conscious.” It is these conscious individuals who change the world for the better.
Don’t let technology turn you into zombies. Technology anesthetizes us to the all-too-real tragedies that surround us. Techno-gadgets are merely distractions from what’s really going on in America and around the world. As a result, we’ve begun mimicking the inhuman technology that surrounds us and have lost our humanity. We’ve become sleepwalkers. If you’re going to make a difference in the world, you’re going to have to pull the earbuds out, turn off the cell phones and spend much less time viewing screens.
Help others. We all have a calling in life. And I believe it boils down to one thing: You are here on this planet to help other people. In fact, none of us can exist very long without help from others. If we’re going to see any positive change for freedom, then we must change our view of what it means to be human and regain a sense of what it means to love and help one another. That will mean gaining the courage to stand up for the oppressed.
Refuse to remain silent in the face of evil. Throughout history, individuals or groups of individuals have risen up to challenge the injustices of their age. Nazi Germany had its Dietrich Bonhoeffer. The gulags of the Soviet Union were challenged by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. America had its color-coded system of racial segregation and warmongering called out for what it was, blatant discrimination and profiteering, by Martin Luther King Jr. And then there was Jesus Christ, an itinerant preacher and revolutionary activist, who not only died challenging the police state of his day—namely, the Roman Empire—but provided a blueprint for civil disobedience that would be followed by those, religious and otherwise, who came after him. What we lack today and so desperately need are those with moral courage who will risk their freedoms and lives in order to speak out against evil in its many forms.
Cultivate spirituality, reject materialism and put people first. When the things that matter most have been subordinated to materialism, we have lost our moral compass. We must change our values to reflect something more meaningful than technology, materialism and politics. Standing at the pulpit of the Riverside Church in New York City in April 1967, Martin Luther King Jr. urged his listeners:
[W]e as a nation must undergo a radical revolution of values. We must rapidly begin the shift from a “thing-oriented” society to a “person-oriented” society. When machines and computers, profit motive and property rights are considered more important than people, the giant triplets of racism, materialism, and militarism are incapable of being conquered.
Pitch in and do your part to make the world a better place. Don’t rely on someone else to do the heavy lifting for you. Don’t wait around for someone else to fix what ails you, your community or nation. As Mahatma Gandhi urged: “Be the change you wish to see in the world.”
Stop waiting for political saviors to fix what is wrong with this country. Stop waiting for some political savior to swoop in and fix all that’s wrong with this country. Stop allowing yourselves to be drawn into divisive party politics. Stop thinking of yourselves as members of a particular political party, as opposed to citizens of the United States. Most of all, stop looking away from the injustices and cruelties and endless acts of tyranny that have become hallmarks of American police state. Be vigilant and do your part to recalibrate the balance of power in favor of “we the people.”
Say no to war. Addressing the graduates at Binghampton Central High School in 1968, at a time when the country was waging war “on different fields, on different levels, and with different weapons,” Twilight Zone creator Rod Serling declared:
Too many wars are fought almost as if by rote. Too many wars are fought out of sloganry, out of battle hymns, out of aged, musty appeals to patriotism that went out with knighthood and moats. Love your country because it is eminently worthy of your affection. Respect it because it deserves your respect. Be loyal to it because it cannot survive without your loyalty. But do not accept the shedding of blood as a natural function or a prescribed way of history—even if history points this up by its repetition. That men die for causes does not necessarily sanctify that cause. And that men are maimed and torn to pieces every fifteen and twenty years does not immortalize or deify the act of war… find another means that does not come with the killing of your fellow-man.
Finally, prepare yourselves for what lies ahead. The demons of our age—some of whom disguise themselves as politicians—delight in fomenting violence, sowing distrust and prejudice, and persuading the public to support tyranny disguised as patriotism. Overcoming the evils of our age will require more than intellect and activism. It will require decency, morality, goodness, truth and toughness. As Serling concluded in his remarks to the graduating class of 1968:

Earlier on Tuesday, The Washington Standard reported on the death by cop of George Floyd after video showed that that officer crushed his knee for at least five minutes into the neck of the man. As Floyd, told the officer he couldn’t breathe, his partner wouldn’t even look at the man. Two other cops responding to the scene didn’t stop him either. Now, four cops have been fired and it looks like there will be huge pressure to bring charges against the officers due to the outcry from the family and community.
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, who is pretty much a tyrant himself, even acknowledged that the video showed wrongful doing on the part of the officers.
“Four responding MPD officers involved in the death of George Floyd have been terminated. This is the right call.” he tweeted.
Four responding MPD officers involved in the death of George Floyd have been terminated. This is the right call. — Mayor Jacob Frey (@MayorFrey) May 26, 2020
The local CBS affiliate in Minnesota reported:
Minneapolis Police Chief Medaria Arradondo has announced that four officers are now “former employees” with the department, following the death of George Floyd in South Minneapolis Monday evening.
On Tuesday afternoon, the office of lawyer Tom Kelly confirmed they were representing one of the officers involved in the case, and confirmed his identity as Derek Chauvin.
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey saw this entire video and called it “wrong on every level.”
“I believe what I saw and what I saw was wrong at every level. This does not reflect the values that Chief Arradondo has worked tirelessly to instill. It does not represent the training we’ve invested in or the measures we’ve taken to ensure accountability. Being black in America should not be a death sentence,” Frey said.
Here’s the video referenced.
Earlier we reported:
Monday night, police officers in Minneapolis responded to a call over an alleged “forgery in progress.” When cops arrived, they found a man, who appeared to be in his 40s — who “fit the description.”
“Officers were advised that the suspect was sitting on top of a blue car and appeared to be under the influence,” the police statement said. “Two officers arrived and located the suspect, a male believed to be in his 40s, in his car. He was ordered to step from his car.
“After he got out, he physically resisted officers. Officers were able to get the suspect into handcuffs and noted he appeared to be suffering medical distress. Officers called for an ambulance.”
The man died soon after, the statement said, adding, “At no time were weapons of any type used by anyone involved in this incident. … Body worn cameras were on and activated during this incident.”
As the disturbing video shows, the above description by police leaves out many details. The man, who had only fit the description of a forgery suspect was thrown to the ground by police and held under a police officer’s knee for five minutes. Five minutes with a knee on his neck.
“My stomach hurts. My neck hurts. Everything hurts. … (I need) water or something. Please. Please. I can’t breathe, officer. … I cannot breathe. I cannot breathe.” That was followed by more groaning and as the last moments of life left this man’s body, officers did not help him up or remove the knee from his neck.
In an ongoing commentary captured in the video taken by Darnella Frazier, a male onlooker says, “That’s bulls—t, Bro. You’re stopping his breathing right there, Bro. Get him off the ground, Bro. You’re being a bum right now.”
“They kept telling us ‘if he can talk he can’t breathe,”’ Frazier wrote on Facebook. Sadly, the cops were wrong.
After watching the incident unfold and realizing that the officers could’ve gotten the man in the car in all this time, an onlooker makes a disturbing observation. The cops appear to be enjoying treating this man like this.
The man says the officer is “enjoying that. He’s a bum, bro. You could have put him in the car by now. He’s not resisting arrest or nothing. You’re enjoying it. Look at you. Your body language – you bum. You know that’s bogus right now.”
The female onlooker repeatedly urges the officers to check the subject’s pulse. “He’s not responsive right now,” a bystander says. “He’s not moving.”

thewashingtonstandard--2020-05-26--Bill Gates Called Out For “Crimes Against Humanity’ & Attempted “Genocide” Via Vaccines By Italian M

Bill Gates Called Out For “Crimes Against Humanity’ & Attempted “Genocide” Via Vaccines By Italian MP (Video)

A little over a week ago , an Italian MP stood before the Italian Parliament and declared that former CEO of Microsoft Bill Gates was engaged in attempted “ genocide ” via his push for mandatory vaccines and that he should be held accountable for “ crimes against humanity.
” The video went viral and many tried to stop the damage , but it was too late .
The following if the video with subtitles in English .
You will also note that many of her colleagues sitting there like a bunch of monkeys with their masks on , began @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the fact that possibly they were getting money from Gates .
WHO knows ?
Gates has also been accused of greasing politicians with $ 10 million for speedy passage of compulsory vaccine bill .
Why ?
Cause he ’ s looking to make a lot of money from it .
• The Faux Generosity of the Super-Wealthy : Why Bill Gates is a Menace to Society • Group Alleges Bill Gates Bribed House Of Representatives $ 10 Million For Speedy Passage Of Compulsory Vaccine Bill And then there are his ties to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Bill Gates ’ Ties To Pedophile Jeffrey Epstein , The Eugenics Movement & More ( Video ) Alex Newman of The New American commented on the content of the speech .
Within days , the powerful speech had been seen by millions of people worldwide .
Establishment sources tried to ignore it , but some were eventually left attempting to downplay or discredit it .
The fake fact-checking site “ Snopes ” even tried to claim it was “ mostly false ” by picking up on one phony headline claiming the Italian government @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that was the substance of the criticism .
Apparently MP Cunial ’ s fury was sparked after Nigerian lawmakers accused Gates , who she said had numerous conflicts of interest , of trying to bribe them into approving legislation that would force mandatory vaccines on the population there .
Opposition parties in Nigeria blasted the “ foreign-sponsored bill ” and called for the speaker to be impeached if he attempted to force it on members despite the growing resistance .

In recent weeks , Gates has repeatedly declared on multiple television programs in the United States that the world could not go back to normal unless and until virtually everybody on the planet had been vaccinated with an as-yet undeveloped , experimental vaccine .
In particular , MP Cunial slammed Gates-funded vaccine schemes that she said had “ sterilized millions of women in African ” and paralyzed about 500,000 children in India .
The New American magazine has reported on those incidents , including a Gates-funded United Nations “ tetanus vaccination ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Catholic Church as a covert sterilization program .

As I reported in April : “ White House senior adviser Jared Kushner ’ s task force has reached out to a range of health technology companies about creating a national coronavirus surveillance system to give the government a near real-time view of where patients are seeking treatment and for what , and whether hospitals can accommodate them , according to four people with knowledge of the discussions.

Keep in mind that President Trump reauthorized the unpatriotic and lawless PATRIOT Act during the phony impeachment hearings , which should tell you that he ’ s just fine with surveilling you .
The point is this : Bill Gates has been working with the Department of Defense , as well as DARPA in the development of a vaccine , and Trump is unconstitutionally calling up the military to be available to administer vaccines , something not authorized in the Constitution , and he is heading up Operation Warp Speed to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ than normal .
And if you thought President Trump was anti-vaccine , you would be wrong , according to his own words .
These are simple facts .

A little over a week ago, an Italian MP stood before the Italian Parliament and declared that former CEO of Microsoft Bill Gates was engaged in attempted “genocide” via his push for mandatory vaccines and that he should be held accountable for “crimes against humanity.”
The video went viral and many tried to stop the damage, but it was too late.
The following if the video with subtitles in English. You will also note that many of her colleagues sitting there like a bunch of monkeys with their masks on, began to be disturbed, probably due to the fact that possibly they were getting money from Gates. WHO knows?
Gates has also been accused of greasing politicians with $10 million for speedy passage of compulsory vaccine bill. Why? Cause he’s looking to make a lot of money from it.
And then there are his ties to the eugenics movement.
Alex Newman of The New American commented on the content of the speech.
Within days, the powerful speech had been seen by millions of people worldwide. Establishment sources tried to ignore it, but some were eventually left attempting to downplay or discredit it. The fake fact-checking site “Snopes” even tried to claim it was “mostly false” by picking up on one phony headline claiming the Italian government wanted Gates arrested, and acting like that was the substance of the criticism.
Apparently MP Cunial’s fury was sparked after Nigerian lawmakers accused Gates, who she said had numerous conflicts of interest, of trying to bribe them into approving legislation that would force mandatory vaccines on the population there. Opposition parties in Nigeria blasted the “foreign-sponsored bill” and called for the speaker to be impeached if he attempted to force it on members despite the growing resistance.
A key part of the impassioned plea revolved around Gates’ support for forcing mandatory vaccines on all of humanity. In recent weeks, Gates has repeatedly declared on multiple television programs in the United States that the world could not go back to normal unless and until virtually everybody on the planet had been vaccinated with an as-yet undeveloped, experimental vaccine.
In particular, MP Cunial slammed Gates-funded vaccine schemes that she said had “sterilized millions of women in African” and paralyzed about 500,000 children in India. The New American magazine has reported on those incidents, including a Gates-funded United Nations “tetanus vaccination” campaign in Kenya that was exposed by the Catholic Church as a covert sterilization program.
“Still today, Gates causes more death than the diseases,” she said, stating that genetically engineered crops (GMOs) were also a scheme backed by Gates and other criminals to sterilize people and reduce the global population.
Especially concerning, she said, are new mRNA vaccines backed by Gates, which have never been used before, that would be “tools for reprogramming our immune system.” Indeed, in Foreign Affairs, the mouthpiece for the globalist Council on Foreign Relations,Gates boasted about the prospect of editing people’s DNA using new technologies known as “CRISPR” — all “for good,” of course.
MP Cunial, a member of the populist Five Star Movement with a degree in industrial chemistry, was especially distressed about the effect of these schemes on innocent children. “It is our children who will lose more, who are ‘raped souls,’” the popular lawmaker warned, blasting the government’s “child protection” bureaucracy for its role in the abuse. “In this way, the right to school will be granted only with a bracelet to get them used to being supervised, to get them used to slavery and involuntary treatment.”
None of this is new information. We’ve known for a while what Gates has been up to and reported on it in depth.
Newman went on to add:
Citing English philosopher Thomas Hobbes, the parliamentarian opened by noting that tyranny cannot be simply imposed from above, but must be accepted by individuals taught to feel safer by surrendering their liberty. On that note, she blasted the “corrupt mass media” and its efforts to brainwash and “anesthetize” the mind, to the point of regulating people’s emotions and feelings.
The Deep State media-induced hysteria has allowed the government to enact Gates-inspired tyrannical laws and policies that are contributing to mass death, misery, and poverty, she warned. “And, as in the best regimes, the blame is being put on citizens,” she added. “You take away our freedom and say that we asked for it. Divide and conquer.”
Of course, it is not just Gates involved in criminal activity, MP Cunial said. Pointing to the Nuremberg code used to prosecute National Socialists (Nazis), Cunial noted that involuntary medical treatments, illegal persecution, intimidation, facial-recognition schemes, and other abuses by government officials endorsed by “dogmatic scientism” were not to be tolerated and must be halted.
Ridiculing Gates as the self-styled “savior of the world,” Cunial suggested that the billionaire might have actually been involved in unleashing the pandemic. In 2018, she said, Gates “predicted a pandemic.” Then, the next year, Gates teamed up with the globalist World Economic Forum to host Event 201 at Johns Hopkins, she noted. This event featured an “imagined” a scenario eerily similar to what has unfolded in recent months — and participants almost all advocated the very tyrannical government, censorship, lockdowns, and other abuses now being deployed as the supposed solution.
“For decades, Gates has been working on depopulation and dictatorial control over global politics,” MP Cunial fumed, adding that the radical billionaire was hoping to achieve dominance over agriculture, technology, and energy in addition to healthcare. Cunial quoted now-infamous comments from Gates at a TED talk where he argued that doing a “really great job on new vaccines, healthcare, and reproductive health services [abortion], we could lower that [population growth worldwide] by perhaps 10 or 15 percent.”
“Only a genocide can save the world,” Cunial said in an effort to summarize Gates’ bizarre views, also blasting his links to 5G companies and suggesting the technology was part of the plot.
On top of all that, Gates is also trying to monitor and track the entire global population, Cunial warned. In particular, she blasted the billionaire’s efforts, including funding on research at MIT, to create and deploy a “quantum tattoo” put on the skin that would include individuals’ vaccine history and could be read by a smartphone.
Well, yes, he is, but so is the current administration. As I reported in April:
“White House senior adviser Jared Kushner’s task force has reached out to a range of health technology companies about creating a national coronavirus surveillance system to give the government a near real-time view of where patients are seeking treatment and for what, and whether hospitals can accommodate them, according to four people with knowledge of the discussions.”
Whether you use a phone and government inserts itself between you or your doctor, the results are the same, violations of the protections of rights guaranteed under our Constitution.
Keep in mind that President Trump reauthorized the unpatriotic and lawless PATRIOT Act during the phony impeachment hearings, which should tell you that he’s just fine with surveilling you.
The point is this: Bill Gates has been working with the Department of Defense, as well as DARPA in the development of a vaccine, and Trump is unconstitutionally calling up the military to be available to administer vaccines, something not authorized in the Constitution, and he is heading up Operation Warp Speed to slip a vaccine in a lot faster than normal. And if you thought President Trump was anti-vaccine, you would be wrong, according to his own words. These are simple facts.
Bill Gates has become an enemy of the people just as George Soros has become an enemy of the people.
Here’s a written translation of the speech given in the video above.
Hobbes told us that absolute power isn’t generated by a top-down imposition, but by the choice of individuals who feel safer by renouncing and giving their own liberty to other people.
By virtue of this, you keep anesthetizing the minds through bought-out mass media, disinfectant and NLP. With such words as regime, allow and permit, to the point of allowing yourselves to regulate our relationships and feelings by certifying our affections. So the Phase 2 is nothing more than the prosecution of the Phase 1, you just changed its name as already happened with ESM.
We have realized that people surely don’t die only due to the virus, and now one can suffer and die thanks to you, by the law, by misery and poverty. As in the best regimes, only the citizens themselves will be blamed. You take away our freedom, and you tell us we asked for it. To the cry of “divide and conquer.”
Our children are the ones paying the consequences, violated souls along with those who supposedly should guarantee their rights. They will only be allowed to go back to school only with bracelets to accustom them to liberty under surveillance – to enslaving compulsory medical treatments and virtual concentration camps instead of skates and a tablet.
(the congresspeople begin to rabble in protest)
And all to satisfy the appetite of a financial capitalism whose engine is the conflict of interests, represented by the WHO, whose first financier is the ‘world savior’ and well-known ‘philanthropist’ Bill Gates. We all know this by now.

All that while he’s thinking about distributing quantum tattoos for facial recognition, and RNA vaccines as instruments to reprogram our immune systems, along with doing business with multinational corporations who own the 5G infrastructure in the USA.
So with this laid out, we find the Deep State in the Italian context. There’s the Sanofi which along with the already colluded Glaxo, are just to be clear, the friends of Guerra, Ricciardi and the well-known virologist who’s gaining 2k euros for every 10 minutes of their presentation on national television. They sign deals with medical societies to indoctrinate the upcoming doctors, while making fun of their independent judgement and their oaths.

thewashingtonstandard--2020-05-26--Arizona:  Taxpayers To Be Held Liable For On-Duty Cop Accused Of Kidnapping, Raping Over A Dozen Wom

Arizona:  Taxpayers To Be Held Liable For On-Duty Cop Accused Of Kidnapping, Raping Over A Dozen Women

Arizona : Taxpayers To Be Held Liable For On-Duty Cop Accused Of Kidnapping , Raping Over A Dozen Women Phoenix , AZ — As the Free Thought Project frequently reports , when most people see police lights in their rear view mirror , the last thing they feel is “ protected.
” When a cop is pulling you over it most likely means that you are about to be extorted for a victimless crime .
However , if the cop in the story below was pulling you over , it meant something much worse than mere extortion .
If you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ were about to be kidnapped and raped .
As TFTP previously reported , Arizona Department of Public Safety Trooper Tremaine Jackson , 43 , was arrested last year on a whopping 61 charges of everything from kidnapping to sexual assault .
The trooper , who ’ d been with the department for 13 years is accused of pulling women over and sexually assaulting them .
Now , the taxpayers of Maricopa County are about to be held liable for his sick acts .
The lawsuit states that Arizona should be held liable for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ employees , agents , districts , divisions , and subdivisions .
Since we reported on the original story , a total of 15 victims have come forward , alleging sex abuse , kidnapping and fraud .
At the time , police expected there to be more victims , so they set up a form for victims to fill out .
If you or someone you know was abused by this man , you can fill out a complaint form here .
“ This event started on May 19th where we received an initial @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Jackson to a female motorist , ” said DPS Director Col. Frank Milstead .
But this was only the tip of the iceberg .
“ While we were investigating that May complaint , on June 11th , we received a second complaint .
This one also alleging inappropriate commentary and then also criminal behavior to the extent of sexual abuse , ” Milstead said .
“ Trooper Jackson was using his position as Arizona State Trooper to bargain leniency for favor.
” In other words , this “ hero ” officer was pulling @ @ @ @ @ @ @ him sexual favors or face being kidnapped—a situation that only works if you have a badge .
“ The Arizona Department of Public Safety is a proud and venerable organization with a storied past , ” Milstead said last year .
“ Most of the employees serve Arizona with pride and integrity .
… When one of our own betrays public trust or breaks the law , we respond swiftly and without regret.
” In October , Jackson was booked on multiple counts of sexual abuse , attempted sexual abuse , sexual extortion @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , forgery , and tampering with a public record , among other charges .
In early September , a total of eight women had come forward with allegations of abuse by this cop .
And now that number is 15 .
In several of the cases , the victims say they were held and questioned during traffic stops for over an hour .
In several cases , Jackson reportedly asked for sexual favors or to take the victim on a date to avoid being arrested or given tickets .
Several of the victims @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ What am I going to do with you ?
” while threatening possible arrest .
In one case Jackson reportedly followed a victim to a home where she was supposed to perform sexual acts to avoid arrest .
The victim says she ran into the home and locked all of the doors .
She says she called her boyfriend and hid while Jackson allegedly searched the outside of the home and looked in the windows .
Jackson also forced several victims to give him their social media account information so that they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
In another incident a victim asked him if he was going to arrest her .
The trooper replied , “ No , you ’ re not free to go yet .
I ’ m not finished with you.
” He then asked her what she was “ willing to do ” to stay out of jail .
As the New Times reports : Because DPS troopers are not required to wear body cameras , there is no video evidence to go back through .
When asked if body cameras would ’ ve @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ probably not.
” “ Cameras can be manipulated to a degree to allow people to do inappropriate things , ” he said .
And he ’ s right .
However , DPS records show that Jackson indeed targeted female drivers more often than men , a move they called extremely rare .
According to the DPS , they pull over twice as many men for every woman .
“ Most of us are parents or have loved ones who are female , ” Milstead said .
“ And to think that under @ @ @ @ @ @ @ public places on the shoulders of law enforcement is betrayed by a single trooper that tarnishes a reputation of an agency or profession and victimizes women on a traffic stop is horrifying.
” According to police , Jackson was immediately fired after he was arrested and he was booked into the Maricopa County Fourth Avenue Jail .
“ The temerity of Trooper Jackson is horrifying , ” Milstead said .
“ Our job now is to respond appropriately.
” “ When an officer like this goes off the rails , not only does @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for police officers , during a very difficult time to be a police officer , it really is a big hit to the credibility of our justice system , ” said Marc Victor with Attorneys for Freedom law firm .
Coincidentally , the Free Thought Project has reported on this officer before when he and his colleagues were teaming up on an innocent woman and arresting her for no reason .
According to a video from a former WWF wrestler and cannabis advocate , when an employee at a cannabis dispensary left work @ @ @ @ @ @ @ local gas station , she was immediately confronted and harassed by police .
Witnesses claimed that as soon as the unnamed female arrived at the gas station , Mesa Police swooped in and quickly placed her in handcuffs .
Sean Allen Morley , who at one time in his professional life went by the name Val Venis in the WWF/WWE , wasted no time in questioning the validity of the traffic stop , which took place on the gas station ’ s property .
On his Youtube channel , Morely described the interaction @ @ @ @ @ @ @ her and one of his fellow cops showed up and spoiled it for him .

Phoenix, AZ — As the Free Thought Project frequently reports, when most people see police lights in their rear view mirror, the last thing they feel is “protected.” When a cop is pulling you over it most likely means that you are about to be extorted for a victimless crime. However, if the cop in the story below was pulling you over, it meant something much worse than mere extortion. If you are a woman, it meant you were about to be kidnapped and raped.

The trooper, who’d been with the department for 13 years is accused of pulling women over and sexually assaulting them.
Now, the taxpayers of Maricopa County are about to be held liable for his sick acts. The lawsuit states that Arizona should be held liable for the wrongful conduct of its officers, employees, agents, districts, divisions, and subdivisions.
Since we reported on the original story, a total of 15 victims have come forward, alleging sex abuse, kidnapping and fraud.
At the time, police expected there to be more victims, so they set up a form for victims to fill out. If you or someone you know was abused by this man, you can fill out a complaint form here.
“This event started on May 19th where we received an initial complaint about some inappropriate comments by Trooper Jackson to a female motorist,” said DPS Director Col. Frank Milstead. But this was only the tip of the iceberg.

In October, Jackson was booked on multiple counts of sexual abuse, attempted sexual abuse, sexual extortion, unlawful imprisonment, kidnapping, harassment, forgery, and tampering with a public record, among other charges.
In early September, a total of eight women had come forward with allegations of abuse by this cop. And now that number is 15.
As ABC 15 reports:
In several of the cases, the victims say they were held and questioned during traffic stops for over an hour. In several cases, Jackson reportedly asked for sexual favors or to take the victim on a date to avoid being arrested or given tickets. Several of the victims stated that Jackson would repeatedly ask, “What am I going to do with you?” while threatening possible arrest. In one case Jackson reportedly followed a victim to a home where she was supposed to perform sexual acts to avoid arrest. The victim says she ran into the home and locked all of the doors. She says she called her boyfriend and hid while Jackson allegedly searched the outside of the home and looked in the windows. Jackson also forced several victims to give him their social media account information so that they could talk and meet at future dates.
In another incident a victim asked him if he was going to arrest her. The trooper replied, “No, you’re not free to go yet. I’m not finished with you.” He then asked her what she was “willing to do” to stay out of jail.
As the New Times reports:
Was she willing to give him a dance at the adult dance club where she had just gotten off work? Would she give him a kiss? She did neither. But when he finally let her go, the documents say, he followed her most of the way home.
Because DPS troopers are not required to wear body cameras, there is no video evidence to go back through. When asked if body cameras would’ve prevented the abuse, Milstead said, “probably not.”
“Cameras can be manipulated to a degree to allow people to do inappropriate things,” he said. And he’s right.
However, DPS records show that Jackson indeed targeted female drivers more often than men, a move they called extremely rare. According to the DPS, they pull over twice as many men for every woman.
“Most of us are parents or have loved ones who are female,” Milstead said. “And to think that under the color of authority the trust the public places on the shoulders of law enforcement is betrayed by a single trooper that tarnishes a reputation of an agency or profession and victimizes women on a traffic stop is horrifying.”
According to police, Jackson was immediately fired after he was arrested and he was booked into the Maricopa County Fourth Avenue Jail.
“The temerity of Trooper Jackson is horrifying,” Milstead said. “Our job now is to respond appropriately.”
“When an officer like this goes off the rails, not only does it further diminish the respect people have for police officers, during a very difficult time to be a police officer, it really is a big hit to the credibility of our justice system,” said Marc Victor with Attorneys for Freedom law firm.
Coincidentally, the Free Thought Project has reported on this officer before when he and his colleagues were teaming up on an innocent woman and arresting her for no reason.
According to a video from a former WWF wrestler and cannabis advocate, when an employee at a cannabis dispensary left work and drove down the street to a local gas station, she was immediately confronted and harassed by police.
Witnesses claimed that as soon as the unnamed female arrived at the gas station, Mesa Police swooped in and quickly placed her in handcuffs. Sean Allen Morley, who at one time in his professional life went by the name Val Venis in the WWF/WWE, wasted no time in questioning the validity of the traffic stop, which took place on the gas station’s property. On his Youtube channel, Morely described the interaction:
“Here is my interaction with UNACCOUNTABLE & NON-RESPONSIVE #ThugLawEnforcement in Mesa, Arizona. I drove into QT Gas station and watched a SCARED young woman getting arrested without being told why she was being arrested.”
Perhaps Jackson was trying to rape her and one of his fellow cops showed up and spoiled it for him.

thewashingtonstandard--2020-05-26--You Can Relax Now: Corpus Christi’s Catholic Bishop Has Condemned the Jihad Attack There

Not many Americans are aware that there was a jihad attack on American soil last week , but it happened at the Naval Air Station Corpus Christi in Texas .
On Thursday , a 20-year-old Muslim migrant from Syria named Adam Salim Alsahli , according to CNN , “ attempted to rush the security gate with a vehicle.
” Then , after “ security deployed a barrier to stop the vehicle , ” Alsahli “ exited the vehicle and opened fire…and naval security forces returned fire.
” Alsahli was “ neutralized.
” After his attack , officials “ identified various @ @ @ @ @ @ @ indicate are likely associated with the shooter….Online postings by these accounts expressed support for ISIS and Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula ( AQAP ) .
” But you can relax now : the Roman Catholic Bishop of Corpus Christi has condemned the attack , so all is well .
Catholic News Agency ( CNA ) reported that Bishop Michael Mulvey of Corpus Christi announced Thursday : “ I condemned the act of terrorism that was perpetrated this morning at Naval Air Station Corpus Christi .
These acts of violence are heinous , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to work for peace in our hearts , and our society .
Our prayer is with the sailor who was injured this morning.
” CNA noted that Mulvey “ pledged to be a force for peace in the face of evil.
” Well , that ’ s a relief .
You know that concerned citizens all over the country were on the edge of their seats , wondering whether the Catholic Bishop of Corpus Christi was going to applaud or condemn the attack .
Now he has come down on the side of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and go about our business .
Mulvey ’ s statement was similar to dozens of condemnations of jihad terror attacks that politicians and other public figures have issued after jihad massacres all over the world in the last few years .
It is unclear what moves them to make these statements .
Did anyone really think that Michael Mulvey , a Catholic bishop , might be in favor of Adam Alsahli ’ s jihad attack ?
Are there people out there who suspected that Michael Mulvey helped Adam Alsahli buy his gun or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ were such suspicions so persistent that the good bishop felt it necessary to clear the air ?
Does Michael Mulvey think that his condemnation will stop future jihadis from carrying out their attacks , for fear that the local Roman Catholic bishop will condemn them ?
If Michael Mulvey is sane , which presumably he is , then he knows that the answer to all those questions is no , and so there was no reason whatsoever for him to issue his condemnation except to signal his virtue .
Mission accomplished .
But @ @ @ @ @ @ @ matter how thunderous Mulvey ’ s condemnation was , and no matter how resoundingly it inspired pangs of conscience in jihadis everywhere , and no matter how hard Mulvey tries to be a “ force for peace , ” he will find himself unable to persuade jihadis to lay down their arms and stop waging war against unbelievers , because those jihadis consider that war a divine command ( cf .
Qur ’ an 9:29 ) .
What ’ s more , the Roman Catholic Church in general is indefatigably committed to Pope @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Islam and the proper reading of the Koran are opposed to every form of violence.
” That is , the Catholic Church is institutionally committed to ignoring and denying the ideological wellsprings that give rise to attacks such as that of Adam Salim Alsahli .
Consequently , no matter how much Mulvey works to be a “ force for peace , ” he will find himself confronted with jihadis who , in his view , persistently misunderstand their own religion .
But he can ’ t deal with that problem in any realistic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to deny one of the modern-day Catholic Church ’ s most cherished newly-minted dogmas , that Islam is a religion of peace .
It is worth noting also that both Adam Alsahli and Mohammed Alshamrani , who attacked another naval air station in Florida in December , were foreign nationals ; Alsahli came to the U.S. as a “ refugee ” and Alshamrani as a foreign student .
The Catholic Church strenuously opposes any efforts to reform the programs by which they entered the country .
And so Michael Mulvey might as well @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a whole pad full of his condemnations of jihad activity , so that all he has to do is fill in blanks for the place and date of the attack .
He will find that he will go through such a pad with remarkable speed .
“ Leave them ; they are blind guides .
And if a blind man leads a blind man , both will fall into a pit.
” ( Matthew 15:14 )

Not many Americans are aware that there was a jihad attack on American soil last week, but it happened at the Naval Air Station Corpus Christi in Texas. On Thursday, a 20-year-old Muslim migrant from Syria named Adam Salim Alsahli, according to CNN, “attempted to rush the security gate with a vehicle.” Then, after “security deployed a barrier to stop the vehicle,” Alsahli “exited the vehicle and opened fire…and naval security forces returned fire.” Alsahli was “neutralized.” After his attack, officials “identified various social media accounts, which initial reports indicate are likely associated with the shooter….Online postings by these accounts expressed support for ISIS and Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP).” But you can relax now: the Roman Catholic Bishop of Corpus Christi has condemned the attack, so all is well.
Catholic News Agency (CNA) reported that Bishop Michael Mulvey of Corpus Christi announced Thursday: “I condemned the act of terrorism that was perpetrated this morning at Naval Air Station Corpus Christi. These acts of violence are heinous, but they will not undermine our resolve to work for peace in our hearts, and our society. Our prayer is with the sailor who was injured this morning.” CNA noted that Mulvey “pledged to be a force for peace in the face of evil.”
Well, that’s a relief. You know that concerned citizens all over the country were on the edge of their seats, wondering whether the Catholic Bishop of Corpus Christi was going to applaud or condemn the attack. Now he has come down on the side of the angels, we can all relax and go about our business.
Mulvey’s statement was similar to dozens of condemnations of jihad terror attacks that politicians and other public figures have issued after jihad massacres all over the world in the last few years. It is unclear what moves them to make these statements. Did anyone really think that Michael Mulvey, a Catholic bishop, might be in favor of Adam Alsahli’s jihad attack? Are there people out there who suspected that Michael Mulvey helped Adam Alsahli buy his gun or otherwise prepare for his jihad, and were such suspicions so persistent that the good bishop felt it necessary to clear the air? Does Michael Mulvey think that his condemnation will stop future jihadis from carrying out their attacks, for fear that the local Roman Catholic bishop will condemn them?
If Michael Mulvey is sane, which presumably he is, then he knows that the answer to all those questions is no, and so there was no reason whatsoever for him to issue his condemnation except to signal his virtue. Mission accomplished.
But the bitter irony here is that no matter how thunderous Mulvey’s condemnation was, and no matter how resoundingly it inspired pangs of conscience in jihadis everywhere, and no matter how hard Mulvey tries to be a “force for peace,” he will find himself unable to persuade jihadis to lay down their arms and stop waging war against unbelievers, because those jihadis consider that war a divine command (cf. Qur’an 9:29).
What’s more, the Roman Catholic Church in general is indefatigably committed to Pope Francis’ ridiculous claim that “authentic Islam and the proper reading of the Koran are opposed to every form of violence.” That is, the Catholic Church is institutionally committed to ignoring and denying the ideological wellsprings that give rise to attacks such as that of Adam Salim Alsahli. Consequently, no matter how much Mulvey works to be a “force for peace,” he will find himself confronted with jihadis who, in his view, persistently misunderstand their own religion. But he can’t deal with that problem in any realistic manner; to do so would be to deny one of the modern-day Catholic Church’s most cherished newly-minted dogmas, that Islam is a religion of peace.
It is worth noting also that both Adam Alsahli and Mohammed Alshamrani, who attacked another naval air station in Florida in December, were foreign nationals; Alsahli came to the U.S. as a “refugee” and Alshamrani as a foreign student. The Catholic Church strenuously opposes any efforts to reform the programs by which they entered the country.
And so Michael Mulvey might as well go the whole way and have printed a whole pad full of his condemnations of jihad activity, so that all he has to do is fill in blanks for the place and date of the attack. He will find that he will go through such a pad with remarkable speed.

thewashingtonstandard--2020-05-26--Minneapolis’ “I Can’t Breathe”:  Video Shows Cops Kneel On Motionless Man’s Neck – Until He Dies

Minneapolis , MN — After the death of Eric Garner in 2014 shook the nation , the phrase “ I can ’ t breathe ” has become a chilling symbol for violence doled out at the hands of the state .
TFTP has reported on multiple instances in which entirely peaceful and often innocent people have muttered those words just before police officers squeeze the last bit of life from their bodies .
Tragically , as the video below shows us , this is still happening .
Monday night , police officers in Minneapolis responded to a call over an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cops arrived , they found a man , who appeared to be in his 40s — who “ fit the description.
” “ Officers were advised that the suspect was sitting on top of a blue car and appeared to be under the influence , ” the police statement said .
“ Two officers arrived and located the suspect , a male believed to be in his 40s , in his car .
He was ordered to step from his car .
“ After he got out , he physically resisted officers .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ into handcuffs and noted he appeared to be suffering medical distress .
Officers called for an ambulance.
” The man died soon after , the statement said , adding , “ At no time were weapons of any type used by anyone involved in this incident .
… Body worn cameras were on and activated during this incident.
” As the disturbing video shows , the above description by police leaves out many details .
The man , who had only fit the description of a forgery suspect was thrown to the ground @ @ @ @ @ @ @ officer ’ s knee for five minutes .
Five minutes with a knee on his neck .
“ My stomach hurts .
My neck hurts .
Everything hurts .
… ( I need ) water or something .
Please .
Please .
I can ’ t breathe , officer .
… I can not breathe .
I can not breathe.
” That was followed by more groaning and as the last moments of life left this man ’ s body , officers did not help him up or remove the knee from his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the video taken by Darnella Frazier , a male onlooker says , “ That ’ s bulls—t , Bro .
You ’ re stopping his breathing right there , Bro .
Get him off the ground , Bro .
You ’ re being a bum right now.
” “ They kept telling us ‘ if he can talk he can ’ t breathe , ” ’ Frazier wrote on Facebook .
Sadly , the cops were wrong .
After watching the incident unfold and realizing that the officers could ’ ve gotten @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this time , an onlooker makes a disturbing observation .
The cops appear to be enjoying treating this man like this .
The man says the officer is “ enjoying that .
He ’ s a bum , bro .
You could have put him in the car by now .
He ’ s not resisting arrest or nothing .
You ’ re enjoying it .
Look at you .
Your body language – you bum .
You know that ’ s bogus right now.
” The female onlooker repeatedly urges the officers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
“ He ’ s not responsive right now , ” a bystander says .
“ He ’ s not moving.
” After kneeling on the man ’ s neck for five minutes , an ambulance arrives and takes the man away .
But he was already dead .
“ You just really killed that man , Bro , ” the male onlooker says .
According to CBS news , the FBI has since been called in to investigate and the officers involved have been suspended .
Before the video surfaced , police @ @ @ @ @ @ @ died after a “ medical incident.
” Apparently , holding a cop ’ s knee on a man ’ s neck until he goes unconscious and dies , is a “ medical incident.
” After the video began to go viral on Tuesday , Mayor Jacob Frey responded with anger in a passionate Facebook post : Being Black in America should not be a death sentence .
For five minutes , we watched a white officer press his knee into a Black man ’ s neck .
Five minutes .
When you hear @ @ @ @ @ @ @ re supposed to help .
This officer failed in the most basic , human sense .
What happened on Chicago and 38th last night is awful .
It was traumatic .
It serves as a reminder of how far we have to go .
For the better part of the night , I ’ ve been trying to find the words to describe what happened .
All I keep coming back to is this : this man should not have died .
What we saw is horrible .
Completely and utterly messed up @ @ @ @ @ @ @ his life mattered .
Whatever the investigation reveals , it does not change the simple truth , he should still be with us this morning .
I believe what I saw and what I saw is wrong on every level .
This does not reflect the values Chief Arradondo has worked tirelessly to fulfill .
To our Black community , to the family : I ’ m so sorry .
Below is this disturbing footage .

Minneapolis, MN — After the death of Eric Garner in 2014 shook the nation, the phrase “I can’t breathe” has become a chilling symbol for violence doled out at the hands of the state. TFTP has reported on multiple instances in which entirely peaceful and often innocent people have muttered those words just before police officers squeeze the last bit of life from their bodies. Tragically, as the video below shows us, this is still happening.
Monday night, police officers in Minneapolis responded to a call over an alleged “forgery in progress.” When cops arrived, they found a man, who appeared to be in his 40s — who “fit the description.”
“Officers were advised that the suspect was sitting on top of a blue car and appeared to be under the influence,” the police statement said. “Two officers arrived and located the suspect, a male believed to be in his 40s, in his car. He was ordered to step from his car.
“After he got out, he physically resisted officers. Officers were able to get the suspect into handcuffs and noted he appeared to be suffering medical distress. Officers called for an ambulance.”
The man died soon after, the statement said, adding, “At no time were weapons of any type used by anyone involved in this incident. … Body worn cameras were on and activated during this incident.”
As the disturbing video shows, the above description by police leaves out many details. The man, who had only fit the description of a forgery suspect was thrown to the ground by police and held under a police officer’s knee for five minutes. Five minutes with a knee on his neck.
“My stomach hurts. My neck hurts. Everything hurts. … (I need) water or something. Please. Please. I can’t breathe, officer. … I cannot breathe. I cannot breathe.” That was followed by more groaning and as the last moments of life left this man’s body, officers did not help him up or remove the knee from his neck.
In an ongoing commentary captured in the video taken by Darnella Frazier, a male onlooker says, “That’s bulls—t, Bro. You’re stopping his breathing right there, Bro. Get him off the ground, Bro. You’re being a bum right now.”
“They kept telling us ‘if he can talk he can’t breathe,”’ Frazier wrote on Facebook. Sadly, the cops were wrong.
After watching the incident unfold and realizing that the officers could’ve gotten the man in the car in all this time, an onlooker makes a disturbing observation. The cops appear to be enjoying treating this man like this.
The man says the officer is “enjoying that. He’s a bum, bro. You could have put him in the car by now. He’s not resisting arrest or nothing. You’re enjoying it. Look at you. Your body language – you bum. You know that’s bogus right now.”
The female onlooker repeatedly urges the officers to check the subject’s pulse. “He’s not responsive right now,” a bystander says. “He’s not moving.”
After kneeling on the man’s neck for five minutes, an ambulance arrives and takes the man away. But he was already dead.
“You just really killed that man, Bro,” the male onlooker says.
According to CBS news, the FBI has since been called in to investigate and the officers involved have been suspended.
Before the video surfaced, police claimed on their website that the man died after a “medical incident.” Apparently, holding a cop’s knee on a man’s neck until he goes unconscious and dies, is a “medical incident.”
After the video began to go viral on Tuesday, Mayor Jacob Frey responded with anger in a passionate Facebook post:

All I keep coming back to is this: this man should not have died. What we saw is horrible. Completely and utterly messed up. The man’s life matters. He matters. He was someone’s son. Someone’s family member. Someone’s friend. He was a human being and his life mattered. Whatever the investigation reveals, it does not change the simple truth, he should still be with us this morning. I believe what I saw and what I saw is wrong on every level. This does not reflect the values Chief Arradondo has worked tirelessly to fulfill. To our Black community, to the family: I’m so sorry.

thewashingtonstandard--2020-05-26--Obama, Clinton-Appointed 9th Circuit Judges Suspend Bill of Rights Until Coronavirus is Cured

They said it .
I didn ’ t .
The 9th U.S .
Circuit Court of Appeals on Friday ruled that Democratic California Gavin Newsom ’ s ban on in-person church services during the coronavirus pandemic can stand .
The lawsuit , filed by South Bay United Pentecostal Church in San Diego , prevents that church from reopening , according to the Los Angeles Times The “ constitutional standards that would normally govern our review of a Free Exercise claim should not be applied , ” wrote the two judges in the majority opinion .
“ We ’ re dealing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fatal disease for which there presently is no known cure .
In the words of Justice Robert Jackson , if a ‘ ( c ) ourt does not temper its doctrinaire logic with a little practical wisdom , it will convert the constitutional Bill of Rights into a suicide pact , ' ” according to the opinion .
The ruling came from Judges Jacqueline Nguyen and Barry Silverman , Nguyen is an Obama appointee and Silverman , a Clinton appointee .
The 9th Circuit has a longstanding terrible reputation , but this is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ thing Nguyen and Silverman didn ’ t do is reference crying fire in a theater .
Perhaps these two lefty scholars can point us to where the First Amendment states , “ except in an emergency ” .
Are they proposing the suspension of the Bill of Rights until there ’ s a cure .
Which may never happen .
Bizarrely , the Democrat judges are quoting a minority dissent arguing that speech could be censored if it was inflammatory .
Jackson was arguing that the authorities should have the right to stop @ @ @ @ @ @ @ public because it would lead to disorder and then America would go the way of Nazi Germany .
Jackson was a great man , but wrong in this case .
That he ’ s being quoted by the majority in this ruling is troubling at best considering the original implications .
The Democrat judges did not address the fact that Newsom is discriminating against religious observance .
Trump ’ s appointee did Collins noted that the orders allow many workplaces to open , but ban religious gatherings even when they could meet the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that are now permitted .
“ By explicitly and categorically assigning all in-person ‘ religious services ’ to a future Phase 3 — without any express regard to the number of attendees , the size of the space , or the safety protocols followed in such services — the State ’ s Reopening Plan undeniably ‘ discriminate [ s ] on its face ’ against ‘ religious conduct , ’ ” the judge said .
But only until all diseases are cured .
