Church Sues New York State Over Law Prohibiting Worshipers From Carrying Firearms - The New American
Eight days after the Supreme Court ruled in June against New York in its Bruen decision that the state’s restrictions on concealed carry permits were unconstitutional, and declared further that all citizens, including New Yorkers, had the constitutional right to carry firearms outside their homes for self-protection, the Democrat-controlled state Legislature enacted a “work-around” law to circumvent Bruen.
The law — S51001 — declares a total ban on the carrying of firearms in “any place of worship or religious observation.”
In a lawsuit brought by First Liberty Institute (FLI) on behalf of Pastor Micheal Spencer and his church, His Tabernacle Family Church, with locations in Horseheads and Ithaca, New York, the complaint states that
It is thus now a felony in New York to carry a firearm in a place of worship, regardless of whether one has a license to carry a firearm and regardless of whether the place of worship expressly authorizes — or even encourages — the carrying of firearms on its property.

NY Schools Demand PARENTS Submit to Woke Brainwashing, Too - The New American
The New York Post, which first broke the story, identified multiple examples of “elite” private schools in the Big Apple conscripting parents into the mandatory racial brainwashing. While the sessions at some of the schools were officially “optional,” parents reported that school officials were even taking attendance.
The cost of these institutions is in the neighborhood of $60,000 per year, per child, according to news reports. Why any parent would pay a single penny to have their children subjected to the same abusive brainwashing that their taxes already fund in government schools was not immediately clear.
One of the worst offenders was Brearley School, an expensive all-girls indoctrination center in Manhattan. According to the student application, “parents are expected to attend two diversity, equity, inclusion and anti-racism (DEIA) workshops per school year.”

It appears that this is all going to a separation of economies. The digital west and the gold backed BRICS. Perhaps the prophecies of Russia taking the balkans etc isn't so much of a war as it is an assimilation into BRICS.

Sam Bankman-Fried FTX donations to Democrats, Ukrainian government - TheBlaze
Within the span of a few days, FTX co-founder Sam Bankman-Fried – known in the industry as “SBF” – lost nearly all of his $16 billion fortune in what Bloomberg called "one of history’s greatest-ever destructions of wealth."
On Friday, the Bahamas-based FTX was forced to file for bankruptcy after $473 million of its funds were stolen in a hack of the cryptocurrency exchange. Customers rushed to withdraw their funds, but it was too late.
BREAKING EXCLUSIVE: Tens of Billions of US Dollars Were Transferred to Ukraine and then Using FTX Crypto Currency the Funds Were Laundered Back to Democrats in US
We have information that the tens of billions of dollars going to Ukraine were actually laundered back to the US to corrupt Democrats and elites using FTX cryptocurrency. Now the money is gone and FTX is bankrupt.
Earlier today we reported that the FTX cryptocurrency appeared to be used in a ponzi scheme involving the Democrats and Ukraine.
Dem Megadonor Under Federal Investigation Bankrolled Lawmakers Overseeing The Agency He Was Lobbying | The Daily Caller
Cryptocurrency CEO and Democratic donor Sam Bankman-Fried funded the campaigns of key lawmakers overseeing the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), the agency tasked with regulating the crypto industry, as he was lobbying the CFTC for greater oversight over the digital asset marketplace.
Bankman-Fried donated to the chair and ranking member of the Senate Agriculture Committee, the committee that has jurisdiction over the CFTC, as well as numerous other members of Congress involved in CFTC oversight.
The FTX CEO also spent hundreds of thousands of dollars lobbying lawmakers and the CFTC on legislation that would expand the scope of the agency’s role in regulating the crypto industry.

Citadel CEO Ken Griffin warns of woke ideology in schools - TheBlaze
Billionaire Ken Griffin – the CEO of the investment firm Citadel – slammed schools indoctrinating children and for pushing a "woke ideology."
Griffin made the statements during a conversation with Miami Mayor Francis Suarez on Monday.
"My children went to a phenomenal school in Chicago … but their indoctrination in woke ideology was crushing," Griffin said during the talk hosted by The Economic Club of Miami.
"They came home very confused about whether or not the United States was a good country," Griffin stated.
Griffin revealed that his son was punished for giving an Asian student a compliment.
"And they came home confused about what they could or couldn’t say to a student who was Asian or otherwise of color." he continued. "My son was reprimanded for telling an Asian student he was good at math – for stereotyping."
Griffin pointed out, “And it’s unbelievable to see how that destroys the minds of children who are otherwise innocent and good and don’t think about these kinds of things."

Mitt Romney Says New Congress Must Lay Off “Pointless Investigations” of Joe Biden, Yet He Voted to Impeach Donald Trump Twice!
In his op-ed, Romney called for pursuing the road “less travelled by” to make things “better” for Americans rather than “pointless” messaging bills. Climate change was one issue the senator suggested pursuing. Romney in the past has called for a carbon tax on Americans, which would have crippling impacts on the poor and middle class. Anyone who doubts this just needs to look at Canada.

Study: 100% Of mRNA Jab Recipients Have Heart Implications
> Long COVID refers to symptoms that persist for four or more weeks after an initial COVID-19 infection. Many are also reporting long COVID symptoms after getting the COVID shot
> Symptoms of long COVID include but are not limited to brain fog, memory problems, headaches, blurred vision, loss of smell, nerve pain, heart rate fluctuations, dramatic blood pressure swings and muscle weakness. The feeling of “internal electric shocks” are also reported
> The primary difference between post-jab long COVID and long COVID symptoms after infection is that in people who get it from the infection, early treatment was withheld and the resulting infection severe. Post-jab long COVID, on the other hand, can occur either after very mild breakthrough infection or no breakthrough infection at all
> Several different theories about the mechanisms behind long COVID are reviewed, as are treatment options

Death Shot: Italian And Australian Scientists Discover That MRNA Recipients Have ‘Metal-Like Objects’ And Graphene Oxide In Their Blood – winepressnews.com
[W]hatever the manufacturers have seen fit to put in the so-called mRNA ‘vaccines,’ is causing red blood cells that carry oxygen and carbon dioxide (CO2) to accumulate. This phenomenon leads to clotting and other health problems – sometimes quickly and sometimes over the course of weeks or even months.
It could be claimed that, except for our innovative application of dark-field microscopy to mark the foreign metal-like objects in the blood of mRNA injections from Pfizer or Moderna, we have replicated the blood work of the Korean doctors with a much larger sample.
Our findings, however, are bolstered by their parallel analysis of the fluids in vials of the mRNA concoctions alongside centrifuged plasma samples from the cases they studied intensively.

New York Fed announces test of digital dollar with major banks | Washington Examiner
The Federal Reserve Bank of New York and major banks will launch a three-month test of a digital dollar in hopes of studying its feasibility.
The initiative was announced by the regional Federal Reserve bank and nearly a dozen financial institutions on Tuesday. A news release referred to the experiment as a “proof-of-concept project” in which the banks will work with the Fed’s New York Innovation Center to simulate digital money representing the deposits of their own customers and settle them through simulated Fed reserves on a distributed ledger.

Members of the U.S. Banking Community Launch Proof of Concept For A Regulated Digital Asset Settlement Platform | Business Wire
Members of the U.S. banking community today announced the launch of a proof of concept (PoC) project that will explore the feasibility of an interoperable digital money platform known as the regulated liability network (RLN). Using distributed ledger technology, the proposed platform would create innovation opportunities to improve financial settlements and would include participation from central banks, commercial banks of various sizes and regulated non-banks.
The 12-week PoC will test a version of the RLN design that operates exclusively in U.S. dollars where commercial banks issue simulated digital money or “tokens” – representing the deposits of their own customers – and settle through simulated central bank reserves on a shared multi-entity distributed ledger. The PoC will also test the feasibility of a programmable digital money design that is potentially extensible to other digital assets, as well as the viability of the proposed system within existing laws and regulations.
Members of the U.S. banking and payments community involved in this PoC (as listed further below) are pleased to be working alongside the New York Innovation Center (NYIC) that is part of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. The NYIC collaborates with the private and public sectors on innovations aimed at enhancing the functioning of the global financial system and the ability of central banks to carry out their missions. For information from the New York Innovation Center on this collaboration, see here.

More federal bureaucrats than U.S. Marines authorized to carry weapons | Just The News
A report issued last year by the watchdog group Open The Books, “The Militarization of The U.S. Executive Agencies,” found that more than 200,000 federal bureaucrats now have been granted the authority to carry guns and make arrests – more than the 186,000 Americans serving in the U.S. Marine Corps. “One hundred three executive agencies outside of the Department of Defense spent $2.7 billion on guns, ammunition, and military-style equipment between fiscal years 2006 and 2019 (inflation adjusted),” notes the report. “Nearly $1 billion ($944.9 million) was spent between fiscal years 2015 and 2019 alone.”
The watchdog reports that the Department of Health and Human Services has 1,300 guns including one shotgun, five submachine guns, and 189 automatic firearms. NASA has its own fully outfitted SWAT team, with all the attendant weaponry, including armored vehicles, submachine guns, and breeching shotguns. The Environmental Protection Agency has purchased drones, GPS trackers, radar equipment, and night vision goggles, and stockpiled firearms.
