thewashingtonstandard--2020-10-10--Pope Condemns Death Penalty While Praising Pro-Death Penalty Imam

In his new encyclical Fratelli Tutti , the Woke Pope casts aside 2,000 years of unbroken tradition and declares : “ Today we state clearly that ‘ the death penalty is inadmissible ’ and the Church is firmly committed to calling for its abolition worldwide.
” That ’ s just great , but there ’ s one little catch .
In the encyclical he cites and praises al-Azhar ’ s Grand Sheikh Ahmad al-Tayyeb , who has declared : “ The four schools of law all concur that apostasy is a crime , that an apostate should be asked to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not , he should be killed.
” Apparently , Pope Francis now subscribes to the idea of the death penalty for thee , but not for me , all in the name of “ dialogue.
” As you might expect with Pope Francis , it gets even worse .
ChurchMilitant notes that in the new encyclical , al-Tayyeb is very much the star of the show ; he is mentioned five times , including this : “ I have felt particularly encouraged by the Grand Imam Ahmad Al-Tayyeb , with whom I met @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that ‘ God has created all human beings equal in rights , duties and dignity , and has called them to live together as brothers and sisters.
’ ” Francis was referring to the Document on Human Fraternity for World Peace and Living Together that Francis and al-Tayyeb signed .
Both that document and the new encyclical are as filled with falsehoods and wishful thinking as one would expect coming from a practiced deceiver such as al-Tayyeb and someone so eager to be deceived as the Pope .
What does al-Tayyeb really think @ @ @ @ @ @ @ human beings ?
In a 2016 interview , al-Tayyeb said that “ We should be aware that the concepts of human rights are full of ticking time bombs.
” In a 2019 interview , the grand imam elaborated : “ Is equality an absolute principle or a limited principle ?
We can see that the Islamic notion of equality is limited .
However , the Western notion of equality is , I ’ m very sad to say , absolute .
It has destroyed – or has strived to destroy – many of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the stability of people ’ s lives .
If we examine the Western notion of equality… As a researcher I have the right to say that in my opinion this notion is false.
” Here ’ s one of the new encyclical ’ s egregiously false statements , quoting the Abu Dhabi declaration : For this reason , “ terrorism is deplorable and threatens the security of people – be they in the East or the West , the North or the South – and disseminates panic , terror and pessimism , but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ even when terrorists instrumentalize it .
It is due , rather , to an accumulation of incorrect interpretations of religious texts and to policies linked to hunger , poverty , injustice , oppression and pride .
That is why it is so necessary to stop supporting terrorist movements fuelled by financing , the provision of weapons and strategy , and by attempts to justify these movements , even using the media .
All these must be regarded as international crimes that threaten security and world peace .
Such terrorism must be condemned in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is due to “ an accumulation of incorrect interpretations of religious texts ” ?
Really ?
In his book War and Peace in the Law of Islam , which was published in 1955 and remains one of the most lucid and illuminating works on the subject , the scholar Majid Khadduri says that “ the Islamic state , whose principal function was to put God ’ s law into practice , sought to establish Islam as the dominant reigning ideology over the entire world….The jihad was therefore employed as an instrument for both @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of an imperial world state.
” Imran Ahsan Khan Nyazee is an assistant professor on the faculty of Shari ’ ah and Law of the International Islamic University in Islamabad .
In his 1994 book , he quotes the twelfth-century Maliki jurist Ibn Rushd : “ Muslim jurists agreed that the purpose of fighting with the People of the Book…is one of two things : it is either their conversion to Islam or the payment of jizyah.
” Nyazee concludes : “ This leaves no doubt that the primary goal of the Muslim @ @ @ @ @ @ @ jurists , is to spread the word of Allah through jihad , and the option of poll-tax [ jizya ] is to be exercised only after subjugation ” of non-Muslims .
How did someone with incorrect interpretations of religious texts become a professor on the Faculty of Shari ’ ah and Law at International Islamic University ?
Meanwhile , Muslims continue to persecute Christians in many countries , and the encyclical mentions the word “ persecution ” only once , and in a general way .
This is what interfaith dialogue leads to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : total capitulation , the relativization of the faith , and the holding of contradictory ideas .
The fruit of the dialogue between Muslims and Catholics has not been the protection of Christians in Muslim countries , but silence from the Catholic Church on this persecution .
Bishops in the U.S. and Europe have now have been teaching for years that any discussion of such matters is “ Islamophobic , ” and will harm this wonderful dialogue that actually has no accomplishments to its name .
“ Leave them ; they are blind @ @ @ @ @ @ @ leads a blind man , both will fall into a pit ” ( Matthew 15:14 ) .

Terrorism is due to “an accumulation of incorrect interpretations of religious texts”? Really?

Imran Ahsan Khan Nyazee is an assistant professor on the faculty of Shari’ah and Law of the International Islamic University in Islamabad. In his 1994 book The Methodology of Ijtihad , he quotes the twelfth-century Maliki jurist Ibn Rushd: “Muslim jurists agreed that the purpose of fighting with the People of the Book…is one of two things: it is either their conversion to Islam or the payment of jizyah.” Nyazee concludes: “This leaves no doubt that the primary goal of the Muslim community, in the eyes of its jurists, is to spread the word of Allah through jihad, and the option of poll-tax [jizya] is to be exercised only after subjugation” of non-Muslims. How did someone with incorrect interpretations of religious texts become a professor on the Faculty of Shari’ah and Law at International Islamic University?
Meanwhile, Muslims continue to persecute Christians in many countries, and the encyclical mentions the word “persecution” only once, and in a general way.
This is what interfaith dialogue leads to, at least for the Christian side: total capitulation, the relativization of the faith, and the holding of contradictory ideas. The fruit of the dialogue between Muslims and Catholics has not been the protection of Christians in Muslim countries, but silence from the Catholic Church on this persecution. Bishops in the U.S. and Europe have now have been teaching for years that any discussion of such matters is “Islamophobic,” and will harm this wonderful dialogue that actually has no accomplishments to its name.

Racist Looters and Rioters Form a PAC

I ’ m so glad that supporters of a wanted racist terrorist , and the Ford Foundation and George Soros get another PAC .
The timing of this is pretty sudden .
But the question is whether Black Lives Matter can find enough candidates who support its platform of abolishing the family , freeing all the criminals , and randomly forcing people to make its Nazi salute .
In practice , this likely means backing the usual slate of Soros DAs and sheriffs .
That ’ s what the story already emphasizes .
“ We want to be able to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the vote ’ language , ” Cullors said in an interview with POLITICO .
“ Black Lives Matter is launching our PAC so we can talk directly to voters about who we think that they should be voting for and what we think they should be voting on.
” I don ’ t imagine that the rivers of money flowing through PACs have anything to do with it .
Or the ability of the BLM brand to tap into Fortune 500 cash .
It ’ s almost like the racists who smashed and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cities are an election year effort by the Democrats , rather than anything to do with an ex-con who robbed a Latino woman by holding a gun to her stomach .
Don ’ t worry though , I ’ m sure Twitter will prevent you from retweeting any such conspiracy theories unless they ’ ve been signed off by an authoritative source , like the porn star working for a site created by a guy who made a flying toasters screensaver .
Not Corbyn ?
What about Stalin ?
Too white and male @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this means the Democrats are in bed with .
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 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 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 .
It is our duty to support violent terror while fundraising for Democrats .

I’m so glad that supporters of a wanted racist terrorist, and the Ford Foundation and George Soros get another PAC.
The Black Lives Matter PAC will formally roll out its programs as early as Monday, according to Patrisse Cullors, co-founder of Black Lives Matter. The committee plans to endorse a slate of candidates ahead of the general election, paying special attention to mayoral, county sheriff and district attorney races.
The timing of this is pretty sudden. But the question is whether Black Lives Matter can find enough candidates who support its platform of abolishing the family, freeing all the criminals, and randomly forcing people to make its Nazi salute.
Probably.
In practice, this likely means backing the usual slate of Soros DAs and sheriffs. That’s what the story already emphasizes.
“We want to be able to not just speak in ‘get out the vote’ language,” Cullors said in an interview with POLITICO. “Black Lives Matter is launching our PAC so we can talk directly to voters about who we think that they should be voting for and what we think they should be voting on.”
I don’t imagine that the rivers of money flowing through PACs have anything to do with it. Or the ability of the BLM brand to tap into Fortune 500 cash.
In late September the Movement for Black Lives, a coalition of more than 50 organizing groups nationwide, launched The Frontline initiative to turn out the vote among young people of color. Black Lives Matter has also spearheaded four separate projects aiming to encourage young Black voters to head to the polls, including a multi-million-dollar outreach campaign and anti-disinformation initiative.
It’s almost like the racists who smashed and trashed and looted their way through major cities are an election year effort by the Democrats, rather than anything to do with an ex-con who robbed a Latino woman by holding a gun to her stomach.
Don’t worry though, I’m sure Twitter will prevent you from retweeting any such conspiracy theories unless they’ve been signed off by an authoritative source, like the porn star working for a site created by a guy who made a flying toasters screensaver.
On Thursday the Working Families Party announced its 2021 legislative proposal in partnership with Black Lives Matter leaders and progressive organizing groups. The platform has the support of several progressive lawmakers, including Reps. Rashida Tlaib, Ayanna Pressley, Ilhan Omar and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
Not Corbyn? What about Stalin? Too white and male?
Here’s once again what this means the Democrats are in bed with.
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.

thewashingtonstandard--2020-10-11--Israel’s Second Lockdown Has Been Costly Economically

This is the most unsurprising news of the week .
Reports as now showing that Israel ’ s second lockdown has been “ economically costly.
” The country locked down again over a sure of infections and it has ruined what was left of people ’ s livelihoods .
“ The economy is breaking down , people ’ s hope is breaking down , ” said restaurateur Tamir Barelko , speaking in the Tel Aviv restaurant he runs , now empty of customers .
“ If the government does not give us the opportunity to live and to provide for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it ourselves.
” Unfortunately , it may come to that .
According to U.S. News , a lot of people aren ’ t just takin this lying down either .
Thousands of people have taken to the streets across Israel for almost daily protests that have built up since July , demanding Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu resign over his handling of the crisis and over corruption charges he faces in court , which he denies .
News reports are claiming the U.S. has the highest number of coronavirus cases now , since August @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Fauci says he ’ s “ not comfortable ” with the current amount of coronavirus cases in the U.S .
The U.S. is reporting roughly 40,000 new coronavirus cases a day , which may get even worse as temperatures get cooler and people head indoors , Fauci said during an interview with MSNBC ‘ s Andrea Mitchell .
“ I ’ m not comfortable with that .
I would like to see that level , way , way down , well below 10,000.
” Does anyone want to go ahead and do the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of 325 million the population of the U.S. ?
It ’ s inconsequential unless you ’ re a tyrant looking to impose your will on others and finish off the middle class .
Fauci has already suggested the U.S. “ hunker down ” this winter .
Make no mistake , if they can , and they would like to , they WILL impose a second lockdown here .

This is the most unsurprising news of the week. Reports as now showing that Israel’s second lockdown has been “economically costly.” The country locked down again over a sure of infections and it has ruined what was left of people’s livelihoods.
“The economy is breaking down, people’s hope is breaking down,” said restaurateur Tamir Barelko, speaking in the Tel Aviv restaurant he runs, now empty of customers. “If the government does not give us the opportunity to live and to provide for our families, we’ll do it ourselves.” Unfortunately, it may come to that.
According to U.S. News, a lot of people aren’t just takin this lying down either. Thousands of people have taken to the streets across Israel for almost daily protests that have built up since July, demanding Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu resign over his handling of the crisis and over corruption charges he faces in court, which he denies.
Schools and most offices, shops, and restaurants are closed unless they provide “vital services” such as supermarkets, pharmacies and banks, and people must stay within a kilometer from their home – harsher restrictions than in many other countries fighting a second wave.
Netanyahu had wide public backing when he imposed the first lockdown, lasting from mid-March until late May, which flattened the first wave of COVID-19.
But as infections soared after schools and businesses reopened, the cabinet bowed to pressure from some coalition partners and watered down limited lockdowns on infection epicenters to the extent that the curbs became ineffective. –U.S. News
News reports are claiming the U.S. has the highest number of coronavirus cases now, since August. Not only that, Dr. Anthony Fauci says he’s “not comfortable” with the current amount of coronavirus cases in the U.S. The U.S. is reporting roughly 40,000 new coronavirus cases a day, which may get even worse as temperatures get cooler and people head indoors, Fauci said during an interview with MSNBC‘s Andrea Mitchell. “I’m not comfortable with that. I would like to see that level, way, way down, well below 10,000.”
Does anyone want to go ahead and do the math on how many 40,000 is out of 325 million the population of the U.S.? It’s inconsequential unless you’re a tyrant looking to impose your will on others and finish off the middle class. Fauci has already suggested the U.S. “hunker down” this winter. Make no mistake, if they can, and they would like to, they WILL impose a second lockdown here.

thewashingtonstandard--2020-10-11--Speaking of Digital ID… The Onslaught Of Oppression Is Straight Ahead

Not to minimize or negate anything , but all the fussing over masks and restriction on Constitutional rights is a drop in the bucket compared to what is being prepared for true obliteration of the same and more in the future .
The Commons Project has been prepared to overtake any semblance of our Constitution .
This project is built on the premise that we will all benefit from technology and data to improve our lives , have privacy and control over personal information , while at the same time “ freeing data from silos and allowing individuals to contribute @ @ @ @ @ @ @ infamous dichotomy in reasoning .
It is described as a “ nonprofit public trust established to build platforms and services ” .
Based in Switzerland , the core of this project is the belief that “ communities are stronger when data is open and can be shared for the benefit of all.
” Sounds like collectivism .
So who are the players in this endeavor ?
Starting with the Trustees , individuals from across the world are engaged .
Federal agencies include Health & Human Services ( HHS ) , US Agency for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for Disease Control ( CDC ) , American Medical Association ( AMA ) , and a host of other different organizations .
Any attempt to find this information on the government websites results in no information , defying their claim of transparency , and accountability .
More fascinating is the involvement by a UN Strategic Partnerships member .
This is a partnership between the United Nations ( UN ) and the World Economic Forum ( WEF ) with funding and accelerated implementation of Agenda 2030 as its primary goal .
Digital cooperation and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ other UN member represents the UN Development Programme ( UNDP ) .
There is a special US Trustee Council that includes a U.S .
Senator , members from the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy ( OSTP ) , Assistant Secretary of Defense , and HHS , and United Healthcare , Blue Cross Blue Shield , Johnson & Johnson , Walmart , along with various other organizations .
Now knowing who is running this gig , what exactly are they up to ?
There are four projects .
Common Pass is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ borders .
This phone app will document a “ traveller ’ s record of a COVID PCR test or vaccination.
” WEF and the project are “ working to initiate the CommonPass framework ” which allows an individual to access their lab results and vaccination records on the app that validates their COVID status without revealing other health information .
What is hilarious about this gaslighting is leading one to believe health information is securely stored , private , and under their own control on their phones while those same records “ can @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , national or local registries or personal digital health records ” , and are “ being designed such that it can be accessed directly through other apps and services.
” A good start to “ establish common health protocols ” , in other words collective , international protocols .
Common Health , initiated in September , 2019 , was developed between the University of San Francisco , Cornell Tech and others to help “ people collect , store , and share their personal health information safely and securely.
” It also advances the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ constitute public infrastructure for the digital era.
” Stated differently , human digitization is an infrastructure .
Basically , Common Health is a personal electronic health record .
The Rockefeller Foundation is also involved and has funded the project since June , 2019 through 2024 .
Next is the COVIDcheck project which leads one to believe “ COVID-19 risks ” can be reduced .
The CDC was involved in developing this app which “ supports schools , universities , employers , and public health agencies in their efforts to overcome the pandemic and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is secured by COVIDcheck “ with the same security standards used for banking and credit cards.
” This app also determines risk level and provides advise and guidance .
Other partners on the project include the UN Foundation , Clinton Health Access Initiative , Novartis , and Pfizer .
The last project , CommonGeo , “ applies geographic intelligence to realize the full potential of data to solve complex problems.
” Experts in technology , policies , standards , ethics , and governance were needed to “ acquire , process , distribute , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ data , putting people first.
” This project implies that all the data handed over to them by this “ secure ” system , the data which one has personal control over , will be used for the purposes of solving other problems .
In the News , CommonPass is already being implemented by airlines across the world and across borders in which the CDC and US Customs and Border Protection is involved .
This tyranny was just announced on October 7 , 2020 .
But this is worldwide tyranny such as the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Commons Project objectives .
Is the HHS cabinet member informing President Trump about this ?
Is he aware of this project and supporting it by encouraging testing and promising vaccines , two critical pieces for its implementation ?
What about the CDC , OSTP , and Department of Defense ?
Who is apprising him of this project ?
More importantly , does he support it ?
Yes , you read all of this correctly .
The federal government is working with the WEF Great Reset agenda and 4th Industrial Revolution to create @ @ @ @ @ @ @ live in and forever remove our sovereignty , freedom , and Constitution .
It is the “ …passionate technologists , entrepreneurs , public servants , academics , scientists , industry leaders , people and advocates from across the globe who have gathered to use our collective knowledge and expertise for the common good.
” , the technocrats who will determine our Post-Covid19 Global Governance .
Digitizing health care is just the beginning .
There is much talk about who is behind globalization , the elite , the UN , but the fact is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ involved and part of the globalization agenda .
This step into a technocratic world with data gathering on health will continue to expand into all areas of our lives , eventually taking over our very souls using artificial intelligence to dictate how we live .
Many Americans are preparing for the many unknowns to come .
How does one prepare for this onslaught of oppression ?
With Event 201 , development of apps and other technology prior to the actual release of COVID-19 , and application of these within one year , what @ @ @ @ @ @ @ opposition ?
Will our preparations be enough ?
We are under a tyrannical government now , waiting for the right time to take action will not come as the time is already here .

Not to minimize or negate anything, but all the fussing over masks and restriction on Constitutional rights is a drop in the bucket compared to what is being prepared for true obliteration of the same and more in the future.
The Commons Project has been prepared to overtake any semblance of our Constitution. This project is built on the premise that we will all benefit from technology and data to improve our lives, have privacy and control over personal information, while at the same time “freeing data from silos and allowing individuals to contribute their data to research”. Another infamous dichotomy in reasoning. It is described as a “nonprofit public trust established to build platforms and services”. Based in Switzerland, the core of this project is the belief that “communities are stronger when data is open and can be shared for the benefit of all.” Sounds like collectivism.
So who are the players in this endeavor? Starting with the Trustees, individuals from across the world are engaged. Federal agencies include Health & Human Services (HHS), US Agency for International Development (USAID), Centers for Disease Control (CDC), American Medical Association (AMA), and a host of other different organizations. Any attempt to find this information on the government websites results in no information, defying their claim of transparency, and accountability.
More fascinating is the involvement by a UN Strategic Partnerships member. This is a partnership between the United Nations (UN) and the World Economic Forum (WEF) with funding and accelerated implementation of Agenda 2030 as its primary goal. Digital cooperation and health are two focus areas. One other UN member represents the UN Development Programme (UNDP).
There is a special US Trustee Council that includes a U.S. Senator, members from the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP), Assistant Secretary of Defense, and HHS, and United Healthcare, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Johnson & Johnson, Walmart, along with various other organizations.
Now knowing who is running this gig, what exactly are they up to? There are four projects.
Common Pass is the project that will allow traveling across borders. This phone app will document a “traveller’s record of a COVID PCR test or vaccination.” WEF and the project are “working to initiate the CommonPass framework” which allows an individual to access their lab results and vaccination records on the app that validates their COVID status without revealing other health information. What is hilarious about this gaslighting is leading one to believe health information is securely stored, private, and under their own control on their phones while those same records “can be accessed through existing health data systems, national or local registries or personal digital health records”, and are “being designed such that it can be accessed directly through other apps and services.” A good start to “establish common health protocols”, in other words collective, international protocols.
Common Health, initiated in September, 2019, was developed between the University of San Francisco, Cornell Tech and others to help “people collect, store, and share their personal health information safely and securely.” It also advances the operation of “the digital services that constitute public infrastructure for the digital era.” Stated differently, human digitization is an infrastructure. Basically, Common Health is a personal electronic health record. The Rockefeller Foundation is also involved and has funded the project since June, 2019 through 2024.
Next is the COVIDcheck project which leads one to believe “COVID-19 risks” can be reduced. The CDC was involved in developing this app which “supports schools, universities, employers, and public health agencies in their efforts to overcome the pandemic and return to a new normal.” Data is secured by COVIDcheck “with the same security standards used for banking and credit cards.” This app also determines risk level and provides advise and guidance. Other partners on the project include the UN Foundation, Clinton Health Access Initiative, Novartis, and Pfizer.
The last project, CommonGeo, “applies geographic intelligence to realize the full potential of data to solve complex problems.” Experts in technology, policies, standards, ethics, and governance were needed to “acquire, process, distribute, use, maintain, and preserve location data, putting people first.” This project implies that all the data handed over to them by this “secure” system, the data which one has personal control over, will be used for the purposes of solving other problems.
In the News, CommonPass is already being implemented by airlines across the world and across borders in which the CDC and US Customs and Border Protection is involved. This tyranny was just announced on October 7, 2020. But this is worldwide tyranny such as the United Kingdom is experiencing with masks and the Commons Project objectives.
Is the HHS cabinet member informing President Trump about this? Is he aware of this project and supporting it by encouraging testing and promising vaccines, two critical pieces for its implementation? What about the CDC, OSTP, and Department of Defense? Who is apprising him of this project? More importantly, does he support it?
Yes, you read all of this correctly. The federal government is working with the WEF Great Reset agenda and 4th Industrial Revolution to create the digital world they want us to live in and forever remove our sovereignty, freedom, and Constitution. It is the “…passionate technologists, entrepreneurs, public servants, academics, scientists, industry leaders, people and advocates from across the globe who have gathered to use our collective knowledge and expertise for the common good.”, the technocrats who will determine our Post-Covid19 Global Governance. Digitizing health care is just the beginning. There is much talk about who is behind globalization, the elite, the UN, but the fact is the U.S. federal government is very much involved and part of the globalization agenda. This step into a technocratic world with data gathering on health will continue to expand into all areas of our lives, eventually taking over our very souls using artificial intelligence to dictate how we live.
Many Americans are preparing for the many unknowns to come. How does one prepare for this onslaught of oppression? With Event 201, development of apps and other technology prior to the actual release of COVID-19, and application of these within one year, what else has been prepared to confront any opposition? Will our preparations be enough? We are under a tyrannical government now, waiting for the right time to take action will not come as the time is already here.

The tyranny being imposed by the ultra-wealthy who are not even elected by the people by using those that are elected against the people to their own ends seems to know no bounds these days.

In a recent video put out by Truthstream Media, comparisons are made between what our founding fathers faced from King George III in his Stamp Act and Bill Gates’ digital certificates of vaccination.
Perhaps the most significant part of the American Revolution was the shift in how people viewed themselves in relation to the world around them. But this isn’t how it is often portrayed.

Columbus, OH — Another police officer has been arrested for child porn. While this happens so often that it is depressingly not surprising, this time, it was the cop’s own soon-to-be 10-year-old stepdaughter who was the victim.
Columbus police officer Raymond Rose, 29, was arrested last week by an officer with the Franklin County Internet Crimes Against Children task force after being accused of filming a young child in a “state of nudity,” according to Franklin County Municipal Court records.
Rose has been charged in Municipal Court with one count each of pandering obscenity involving a minor and illegal use of a minor in nudity-oriented material. Both of the charges are second-degree felonies.
Family members of the reported victim contacted the police department’s Internal Affairs Bureau with the allegations, ABC 6 reports. The IAB then contacted the department’s Special Victims Bureau. Due to the nature of the allegations, the Special Victims Bureau brought in the Franklin County Internet Crimes Against Children unit.

According to police, Rose went into his soon-to-be step daughter’s bedroom and filmed the private areas of a 10-year-old girl on July 20 inside a private residence. When police investigated Rose’s phone, they reportedly found the video on it.
Police say more charges could follow as they search the remainder of his devices and residence.

The pandering obscenity charge allegedly stems from the accusation that Rose also made the little girl watch pornography on top of making her strip naked so he could film her.
On Saturday, this child predator was arraigned on his charges and his bond was set at $150,000. It is unclear weather or not he posted the bail.
“When criminal activity is discovered, our duty is to investigate and pursue the appropriate action based on the evidence. The fact that it involves one of our own does not change that,” said Columbus police chief Thomas Quinlan. “The protection of children demands the highest level of priority and investigation. Regardless of who the accused is, we support every effort to ensure justice is done.”
Franklin County Prosecutor Ron O’Brien pointed out that Rose was arrested despite his status as a law enforcement officer as if applying equal justice under the law is something unusual and should be praised.
“I think it shows that no one is above the law,” O’Brien said. “If a police officer commits a crime, they will be prosecuted. They will be investigated the same as any other citizen.”
He then went on to issue a warning to the public about the prevalence of such abuse, noting that it can and will often come from relatives and friends.
“Parents need to be watchful even amongst relatives, even amongst neighbors,” said O’Brien.
According to O’Brien, Rose’s charges “carry up to 8 years in prison and the charges themselves deal with the production of the video and that is why it is among the most serious of the child pornography charges,” he said.
Despite finding the video on Rose’s phone, the Columbus police department has yet to fire him. Instead, he has had his gun taken away but is still receiving his full pay.

California:  High Ranking Lieutenant & 5 Cops Keep Jobs After Admitted Involvement In Teen Sex Trafficking Case

Oakland , CA — An abused little girl was only 12-years-old when she was forced into the sex trade , forever altering the course of her life .
For years , this little girl was “ exploited by pimps ” until she finally broke away and made it to an Oakland police officer .
For a brief moment , she thought she was safe — but , according to a lawsuit , she was wrong and the cops began trafficking her .

As we previously reported , some of the officers involved in covering up this explicit case of child sex trafficking are not only being promoted — but honored .

Oakland, CA — An abused little girl was only 12-years-old when she was forced into the sex trade, forever altering the course of her life. For years, this little girl was “exploited by pimps” until she finally broke away and made it to an Oakland police officer. For a brief moment, she thought she was safe — but, according to a lawsuit, she was wrong and the cops began trafficking her. And all of it stems from police being entirely unable to hold problem cops accountable—even when there is evidence of sexual misconduct and a paper trail of sexting.
This week, we find out that a high-ranking Richmond police official and five other officers who exchanged explicit messages with the teen were all given written reprimands — and kept their jobs!
Previously, TFTP reported on former Lt. Andre Hill who was running the Richmond police department’s Youth Service Division when he came across Celeste Guap in 2015. In 2017, he was fired after it was discovered that for years, he sent the teen sexually explicit messages and engaged in oral sex with her.
But he was never charged and is currently fighting for his job back. Now, as part of a settlement agreement stemming from a lawsuit over SB 1421, the 2019 police transparency law, records of the other officers’ “discipline” were released.
According to a report out of the Mercury News,
Records released Wednesday for the first time publicly identify four Richmond officers disciplined for their involvement with the Richmond teenager, known as Celeste Guap. Most notably is Lt. Felix Tan, who was the chief of staff to then-Chief Allwyn Brown. As a public information officer, Tan helped craft the department’s messaging as the scandal ricocheted from the Oakland Police Department to Richmond.
To be clear, Tan was issuing the police department’s response to the officers who sexted a trafficked teen and he was involved in the very act. You cannot make this up! When IA asked Tan about the messages, he had no problem admitting to them, saying “Of course I made some comments because I’m a guy.”
Tan and Hill are among the highest ranking officials in any of the departments and now we have the names of multiple other cops.
In interviews with this news organization in 2016, Guap named five officers she claimed to have a relationship with: Lt. Hill, Sgt. Armando Moreno, Sgt. Mike Rood, Officer Jarred Tong and Officer Terrance Jackson. This organization typically does not name victims of sexual assault or trafficking, but did so after Guap (who uses an assumed name) had spoken out publicly in the case. The new records confirm the names of three other officers: Detective Sgt. Erik Oliver, Detective Daniel Campos, and Officer Joe Deorian, who all received written reprimands for sexually explicit messaging with Guap.
None of the officers were charged nor were they fired. This is a problem.
As TFTP previously reported, when the young girl went to police to get help, she was actually being brought into a depraved circle of cops from multiple departments who would continue to abuse her for years to come.
Instead of helping her, more than 30 other law enforcement officers “continued to traffic, rape, victimize and exploit a teenage girl who needed to be rescued,” according to a legal claim filed with the Oakland city attorney’s office. “Instead of helping [the teen] find a way out of exploitation, they furthered and deepened her spiral down into the sex trade,” the claim continued.
Keeping jobs and not facing charges should come as no surprise given the history of these cops. As we previously reported, some of the officers involved in covering up this explicit case of child sex trafficking are not only being promoted — but honored.
Knowing that if they conducted their honors ceremony in public, they would likely see a huge backlash, the Oakland police department held a secret ceremony in a church in 2017.

Hardy said the Coalition for Police Accountability, which spearheaded the creation of the city’s new police commission, met with Police Chief Anne Kirkpatrick earlier this year. Kirkpatrick told the activists she wouldn’t hesitate to discipline, and even fire, bad cops.
“But why promote them?” Hardy asked.

However, when they are honoring those who facilitated a child sex scandal, they have to do it in secret. No media was allowed in the event and, in fact, they were forced to stand 50 yards away from the entrance.
As the Express noted, in the past, media were invited to these functions — but not anymore.

Exclusive – ‘Mansion Maxine’: Joe Collins Launches Ad Ripping Maxine Waters for Not Living in Her District
By Breitbart, October 11, 2020
Republican Joe Collins, a Navy veteran challenging Democrat Rep. Maxine Waters in California’s 43rd Congressional District, launched a campaign ad Saturday blasting the congresswoman for residing outside the district she represents while her constituents “suffer the consequences” of her policies.
“Maxine does not live in her district. But I do. I was born right here in South L.A., in a place Maxine refuses to live,” Collins says in the ad. “Maxine Waters does not drink our water. She does not breathe our air. And while she sits here in her mansion, our district is in ruins.”
Do you know where I am?
Maxine Waters’ $6 Million Mansion. Do you know where I’m NOT?
Her District. Mansion Maxine Waters doesn’t live in her District — I do. My name is Joe Collins and I’m running for Congress against Maxine Waters. Help Me WIN: https://t.co/K4OcfhUR0E pic.twitter.com/GgnmvSWSq9 — Joe E. Collins III For Congress CA-43 (@joecollins43rd) October 10, 2020
Collins begins by introducing Waters’ multimillion-dollar home, which is located just outside the 43rd District’s boundary in the wealthy area of Hancock Park.
Collins then proceeds to walk through the district he is campaigning to represent, highlighting the challenges it has continued to face for decades as a result, he claims, of the policies of Waters, who has served in public office for more than 40 years.
“And why doesn’t Maxine Waters want to live in her own district? Because she doesn’t want to suffer the consequences of her own policies,” Collins says, pointing to spikes in deadly crime, a massive homeless population, and lacking education opportunities specifically for Latino and black school-aged children.
Collins then shifts to the issue of the protests and riots that have plagued cities nationwide since the death of George Floyd at the hands of police in May. Waters has said in response to the demonstrations that the law enforcement “tradition” has to be “done away with,” and posed the question in August of when the police would “stop killing black people.”
Collins criticizes Waters’ position on police reform as hypocritical, saying, “Maxine sits safe in her mansion, guarded by the same police she demonizes.”
“Maxine has never had to deal with violence or riots in her neighborhood,” Collins continues. “But this is the way the rest of us live. We need someone to represent us who lives here, who fights here, who wants to improve our way of life. Someone who understands we need safe streets and a strong economy.”
“I was one of the kids left behind by Maxine Waters. I’m going to fight for safety and dignity for South L.A. … Where has Maxine Waters been? Our people deserve better,” he concludes.
