Re: How do we identify members of Congress being blackmailed by FBI agents
You can tell someone is dirty by what they choose not to investigate when they are given the responsibility to do so. This is how you can find who in power needs to be subjected to investigation. There also needs to be a law stating that if a government arm is doing any crimes against humanity, then nondisclosure agreements are null and void and it those who are aware of such crimes are required to report them. Of course, those who will not report become the next people in need of investigating. Good people don't hide evil. Bad people do.

Bio
Ray McGovern leads the “Speaking Truth to Power” section of Tell the Word, a publishing arm of the ecumenical Church of the Saviour in inner-city Washington. A former co-director of the Servant Leadership School (1998-2004), he has been teaching there for more than 20 years. His current course is: “On the Morality of Whistleblowing.”
Ray came to Washington from his native Bronx in the early Sixties as an Army infantry/intelligence officer and then served as a CIA analyst for 27 years, from the administration of John F. Kennedy to that of George H. W. Bush. Ray’s duties included chairing National Intelligence Estimates and preparing the President’s Daily Brief, which he briefed one-on-one to President Ronald Reagan’s five most senior national security advisers from 1981 to 1985.
In January 2003, Ray co-created Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity (VIPS) to expose how intelligence was being falsified to “justify” war on Iraq. On the afternoon of the day (Feb. 5, 2003) Secretary of State Colin Powell misled the UN Security Council on Iraq, VIPS sent a blunt memorandum to President George W. Bush, in which VIPS gave Powell a C-minus. VIPS ended the memo with this:
“No one has a corner on the truth; nor do we harbor illusions that our analysis is irrefutable or undeniable [as Powell had claimed his was]. But after watching Secretary Powell today, we are convinced that you would be well served if you widened the discussion beyond … the circle of those advisers clearly bent on a war for which we see no compelling reason and from which we believe the unintended consequences are likely to be catastrophic.”
On July 20, 2002, CIA Director George Tenet had told his British counterpart that the “intelligence and facts were being ‘fixed’ around the policy of ‘regime change’ in Iraq.” On June 5, 2008, Senate Intelligence Committee Chair Jay Rockefeller, announced the main conclusion of a five-year study by his committee, saying, “In making the case for war, the administration repeatedly presented intelligence as fact when it was unsubstantiated, contradicted or even nonexistent.” In sum, the “intelligence” was not mistaken; it was out-and-out fraud.
It got worse. As an act of conscience, on March 2, 2006 Ray returned the Intelligence Commendation Medallion given him at retirement for “especially meritorious service,” explaining, “I do not want to be associated, however remotely, with an agency engaged in torture.” He returned the medallion to Rep. Peter Hoekstra (R, Michigan), then-Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee.
Hoekstra then secretly added to the Intelligence Authorization Act for FY’07 (HR5020) a provision enabling the government to strip intelligence veterans of their government pensions. HR5020 passed the full House, but Congress opted instead for a continuing resolution.
On December 11, 2014, Ray had an opportunity to tell Hoekstra exactly what he thought of Hoekstra’s underhanded, Lone-Ranger attempt (he did not inform his House Intelligence Committee colleagues) to make it possible to revoke the government pensions of people like Ray. He confronted the former Congressman off-air, after the two were interviewed live on CCTV’s “The Heat” about the Senate Intelligence Committee findings released on December 9, 2014 regarding CIA torture. The interview itself offered Ray a unique chance to hold Hoekstra publicly accountable for condoning torture, and the Michigan congressman rose to the occasion. (See minutes 8:15 to 10:41 of:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfCjS2B1ShY).
On the early afternoon of May 4, 2006, in Atlanta, Ray confronted Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld on live TV with pointed questions like: “Why did you lie to get us into a war that was not necessary and that has caused these kinds of casualties?”
The impromptu, four-minute mini-debate that followed is still receiving hits on YouTube – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1FTmuhynaw. Accused by TV pundits that evening of “following the Secretary of Defense all the way down to Atlanta,” Ray explained that he had gotten to Atlanta first – to receive, that same evening, the ACLU’s National Civil Liberties Award (won the previous year by Coretta Scott King).
Ray’s opinion pieces have appeared in many leading newspapers and other publications in the U.S. and abroad – except for the NY Times and Washington Post. His website writings are usually posted first on consortiumnews.com as well as here on raymcgovern.com. Many are then cross-posted elsewhere.
Ray still serves on the Steering Group of Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity. Links to VIPS’ 46 corporate issuances are posted on https://consortiumnews.com/vips-memos/
He has debated three times at the Oxford Forum. The second time, in early 2013, he chose a lighter tone in explaining why it is still possible to dream the American dream. (It’s a little hammy; see what you think.)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w79XPIlwdvY.
There was little to be merry about on Nov. 3, 2016, however, when Ray was asked to take the affirmative side in an Oxford Union debate on the issue: “The U.S. Presidential race reveals a broken two-party system.” He was glad to have a chance to debate opposite former New York Times Executive Editor Jill Abramson and could not pass up the chance to expose the genuinely sad story about what has happened to what once was a great newspaper. The Oxford students (who do the voting), though, showed themselves impervious to Ray’s criticism of the often noxious role played in two-party elections by the “mainstream media” – and specifically the NY Times – in supporting one candidate over the other in its reportorial coverage, as well as its editorials.
Most Oxford folks – like the NY Times, the Washington Post, and other “mainstream media” – strongly supported Hillary Clinton; fully expected her to win just five days later; and were thankful that the U.S. two-party system – broken or not – had served up a “winner” (Clinton) to be president. Ray’s attempt to expose the crucial influence of the media (whose masters are convinced they know what’s best for the country) – not only in rooting for candidates, but also suppressing violations of the Constitution, in order to guarantee criminals like George W. Bush a second term – fell on mainstream (deaf) ears). Ray’s side of the debate lost; it wasn’t even close.

Ray has appeared on The Newshour, C-Span’s Washington Journal, CNN, BBC, a number of domestic Russian TV channels, Aljazeera, RT, PressTV, CCTV and many other TV & radio programs and documentaries. Ray’s favorite gig was debating Iraq with yellow-cake-aluminum connoisseur and ex-CIA Director James Woolsey on Charlie Rose on Aug. 20, 2004. (See minute 17:48 when Woolsey plays the “anti-Semitic” card against Ray.)

Ray was in NYC with filmmaker Robert Greenwald for the debut of his full-length documentary, Uncovered: The Whole Truth About the Iraq War. Ray is often on the road, giving talks and interviews to a wide variety of audiences in the U.S. and abroad.
A founder of Sam Adams Associates for Integrity in Intelligence ( samadamsaward.ch ), Ray was happy to be able, with former awardees Thomas Drake, Coleen Rowley, Jesselyn Radack, to present the annual award in 2013 to Edward Snowden.
Ray’s B.A. and M.A. degrees – both from Fordham University – are in Russian history, language, and literature, with minors in theology, philosophy, and classics. He has taught Russian as an adjunct at the University of Virginia. Ray also holds a Certificate in Theological Studies from Georgetown University and is a graduate of Harvard Business School’s Advanced Management Program.
A Catholic, Ray has been worshipping for many years with the ecumenical Church of the Saviour. He has been invited to lecture at various interfaith and ecumenical events around the U.S., and has preached during services at a number of Christian churches and Jewish synagogues.
Ray enjoys being asked to “substitute teach” at universities and colleges. At George Washington University, though, he quickly wore out his welcome when he stood silently with his back turned toward then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. He was seized and badly beaten directly in front of Clinton, while she spoke eloquently about the need for freedom of expression – in Iran.

Ray is fluent in Russian, German, and Spanish. He and his wife have been married 55 years; they have five children and nine grandchildren.

Sam Adams Award for Integrity in Intelligence 2019 Goes to Jeffrey Sterling!
Jeffrey Sterling receives the Sam Adams Award Jan

The above video is of our 2019 Sam Adams award presentation on January 15, 2020 to former CIA agent and hero whistleblower Jeffrey Sterling. The evening began with a song dedicated to Jeffrey and the integrity he (and his wife Holly) displayed throughout Jeffrey’s truth telling ordeal. (While viewers must “bear with us” as the singing was unrehearsed so a bit offkey), the (partial) lyrics below by songwriter Ann Reed DO “tell the story.”
Heroes What can I learn from you
In your lifetime, in what you’ve been through
How’d you keep your head up and hold your pride
In an insane world how’d you keep on tryin’
One life can tell the tale
That if you make the effort, you can not fail
By your life you tell me it can be done
By your life’s the courage to carry on
(chorus:)
Heroes
Appear like a friend
To clear a path or light the flame
As time goes by you find you depend
On your heroes to show you the way
What can I learn from you
That I must do the thing I think I can not do
That you do what’s right by your heart and soul
It’s the imperfections that make us whole
One life can tell the tale
And if you make the effort you can not fail
By your life you tell me it can be done
By your life’s the courage to carry on…
The presentation to Sterling was preceded by a showing of the poignant docudrama “Official Secrets,” the true story of the second (2003) Sam Adams award recipient Katherine Gun. SAAII members Ray McGovern, Tom Drake, Jesselyn Radack, John Kiriakou, Larry Wilkerson, Ann Wright, and Coleen Rowley spoke at the event while Todd Pierce and Elizabeth Murray made the actual presentation. Among the other members in attendance were William Binney, Clement “Lu” Laniewsky, Robert Wing, Karen Kwiatkowsky and Gareth Porter. Stellar defense attorneys Edward MacMahon and Barry Pollack were also on hand to publicly congratulate Jeffrey as well as a standing-room-only full of admirers of the integrity Jeffrey displayed in telling the truth during these troubled times when, as CIA analyst Sam Adams learned the hard way during Vietnam, truth tends to be the first casualty during a time of war.
Whistleblower Jeffrey Sterling, Who Went Through Kafkaesque Trial, Wins 2020 Sam Adams Award
by Raymond McGovern in Consortium News, Jan 12, 2020, excerpt:
Former CIA operations officer Jeffrey Sterling will receive the Sam Adams Award for Integrity in Intelligence this Wednesday, joining 17 earlier winners who, like Sterling, demonstrated extraordinary devotion to the truth and the rule of law by having the courage to blow the whistle on government wrongdoing.
Tuesday will mark the fifth anniversary of the eerie beginning of Sterling’s trial for espionage — the kind of trial that might have left even Franz Kafka, author of the classic novel The Trial, stunned in disbelief.
There can be a heavy price exacted for exposing abuse by secretive governments — especially ones that have neutered the press to the point where they are immune to exposure when they take serious liberties with the law. Making this reality plainly obvious, of course, is one of the U.S. government’s primary aims in putting whistleblowers like Sterling in prison — lest others get the idea they can blow the whistle and get away with it.
With his Sam Adams award, Sterling brings to five the number of award recipients imprisoned for exposing government abuse (not counting 2013 Sam Adams laureate, Ed Snowden, who was made stateless and has been marooned in Russia for over six years). Worst still, Julian Assange (2010) and Chelsea Manning (2014) remain in prison, where UN Special Rapporteur on Torture Nils Melzer says they are being tortured… (Read remainder of article at Consortiumnews.)

FBI INVOLVEMENT IN CIA BLACK SITE INTERROGATIONS CONFIRMED BY THIRD WITNESS

Developing Stories
COVID-19 and prisons
States’ departments of correction are taking steps to limit the potential spread of COVID-19 in their facilities. But social distancing in these already overcrowded environments is a particular challenge.
One strategy will be to limit incarcerated people’s access to those who have been outside the facility. In Georgia, the state decided to prohibit in-person visitation through April 10, and in New Hampshire, new transfers and visitors are being questioned about their potential exposure.
MuckRock has reached out to the DOCs about their preparedness plans, but some have already reached into their security exemption baskets to deny our requests, including Iowa and South Carolina. Most have not acknowledged our requests from earlier this week at all.
We’ll continue following coronavirus responses in correctional centers. We want to know how these departments are already prepared to track and prevent illness in their facilities and, relatedly, how inmates will be able to continue to communicate with their families across the country.
We’ve filed a request with the New York Department of Corrections and Community Supervision, which New York Governor Andrew Cuomo announced this week will be working to produce more hand sanitizer for free distribution to public institutions.
Do you have a story to share about contacting a loved one in a prison facility? Please share it with us.
ices for medical supplies, including hand sanitizer, are spiking on Amazon. Days after Coronavirus became a pandemic, a four-pack of hand sanitizer was selling for $159.00. Lysol wipes were going for $70.00. People are now demanding that Amazon stop this kind of price gouging. U.S. PIRG started a petition for Amazon to address price gouging for emergency supplies. If you believe there should be no place for price gouging on Amazon for medical supplies during the Coronavirus pandemic, sign their petition.
Tell Amazon: Prevent price gouging during emergencies
After the World Health Organization (WHO) declared coronavirus a global health emergency, prices for medical supplies, including hand sanitizer, skyrocketed on Amazon.
A four-pack of Purell hand sanitizer was selling for $159. Two containers of Lysol wipes cost $70.
That’s not “good business;” that’s taking advantage of consumers during an emergency. And although Amazon has retroactively deleted some products for price gouging, these spikes should never have happened in the first place.
Price gouging during emergencies needs to end. Tell Amazon to implement safeguards that prevent prices from significantly inflating during states of emergency.
Price gouging is when sellers use emergencies as opportunities to inflate their prices exorbitantly due to increased demand. It’s a tactic that takes advantage of people in tough, or even dangerous, positions -- and it’s against the law in many states.
But as coronavirus has become an increasingly global threat, prices for critical supplies sold by third-party vendors and by Amazon itself, have shot up.
This isn’t the first time price gouging has run rampant on Amazon. As the Category 5 Hurricane Irma approached Florida in 2017, prices for basic emergency supplies went through the roof, with cases of bottled water seeing price increases of up to 500 percent at times.
There’s no reason price gouging should be allowed to continue on one of the largest online marketplaces in the country. Amazon’s algorithm should protect consumers in emergency situations, not allow skyrocketing prices.
Amazon agrees: There’s no place for price gouging on its platform.6 But while the company is taking action after prices spike, it clearly lacks the necessary controls to prevent significant increases during emergencies.
Amazon needs to do more to protect consumers from unfair price gouging during emergencies.
The fact that Amazon vendors are able to inflate prices on medical supplies that people believe they need to protect themselves and their families -- and on effective supplies like hand sanitizer -- shows a deep flaw in the company’s ability to protect consumers from unfair pricing during emergencies.
Instead of catching price gouging after the fact -- and after consumers in tough positions have potentially already paid exorbitant prices -- Amazon should have a system in place that prevents price gouging before it starts.
By implementing a system that prevents anyone -- Amazon, computer algorithm or seller -- from raising prices for products significantly above their 90-day averages during emergencies, Amazon would help to protect consumers who may be relying on its marketplace for supplies.
Add your name: Tell Amazon to implement safeguards to stop price gouging before it happens.
Thank you,
U.S. PIRG

Your action is urgently needed to stop a three year reauthorization of PATRIOT Act surveillance authorities!
Mitch McConnell is trying to ram a deeply flawed bill through the Senate TODAY, without debate and no chance for amendments. Please take two minutes to call your Senators and tell them to block McConnell’s attempt to choke off debate.
Contact your Senator today and urge them to vote against cloture on the USA Freedom Reauthorization Act of 2020.
Take Action
Then help us spread the word by forwarding this email to your contacts and sharing it on social media.
****
Here’s the full story:
Today at 5:30 ET, Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell will attempt to invoke cloture on the USA Freedom Reauthorization Act of 2020 - that means shutting down debate on the bill and moving forward for a full vote.The USA Freedom Reauthorization Act would renew PATRIOT Act Authorities without necessary reforms. Sen. McConnell will attempt to secure the 60 votes needed to silence our allies including Sens. Steve Daines (R-MT), Mike Lee (R-UT), Patrick Leahy (D-VT), Ron Wyden (D-OR), and others fighting for the chance to amend the bill, which has been widely decried as inadequate (at best) by many civil liberties groups. This is particularly notable because as a result of a campaign by Congressional leadership in both chambers (by both parties) to prevent members of Congress from having any legitimate chance to cast any real votes on any serious FISA reform, no committee has marked up or passed this legislation.
But, we have the chance to stop Mitch McConnell from ramming this deeply flawed reauthorization bill through the Senate without debate and amendment. We need you to call your Senator today and tell them to vote against cloture for the USA Freedom Reauthorization Act of 2020.
If we are successful in preventing cloture, the outcome is likely a 45-day reauthorization CONTINGENT upon an opportunity for our Congressional allies to offer meaningful, privacy-protective amendments to the bill. Even if the bill ultimately lacks enough reform to earn our support, we MUST fight for the chance to attempt to improve it as much as possible. We must defeat Mitch McConnell’s cloture attempt today. Call your Senator today and urge them to vote against cloture on the USA Freedom Reauthorization Act of 2020.
Take Action

Accused by TV pundits that evening of “following the Secretary of Defense all the way down to Atlanta,” Ray explained that he had gotten to Atlanta first – to receive, that same evening, the ACLU’s National Civil Liberties Award (won the previous year by Coretta Scott King).
Ray’s opinion pieces have appeared in many leading newspapers and other publications in the U.S. and abroad – except for the NY Times and Washington Post. His website writings are usually posted first on consortiumnews.com as well as here on raymcgovern.com. Many are then cross-posted elsewhere.
Ray still serves on the Steering Group of Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity. Links to VIPS’ 46 corporate issuances are posted on https://consortiumnews.com/vips-memos/
He has debated three times at the Oxford Forum. The second time, in early 2013, he chose a lighter tone in explaining why it is still possible to dream the American dream. (It’s a little hammy; see what you think.)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w79XPIlwdvY.
There was little to be merry about on Nov. 3, 2016, however, when Ray was asked to take the affirmative side in an Oxford Union debate on the issue: “The U.S. Presidential race reveals a broken two-party system.” He was glad to have a chance to debate opposite former New York Times Executive Editor Jill Abramson and could not pass up the chance to expose the genuinely sad story about what has happened to what once was a great newspaper. The Oxford students (who do the voting), though, showed themselves impervious to Ray’s criticism of the often noxious role played in two-party elections by the “mainstream media” – and specifically the NY Times – in supporting one candidate over the other in its reportorial coverage, as well as its editorials.
Most Oxford folks – like the NY Times, the Washington Post, and other “mainstream media” – strongly supported Hillary Clinton; fully expected her to win just five days later; and were thankful that the U.S. two-party system – broken or not – had served up a “winner” (Clinton) to be president. Ray’s attempt to expose the crucial influence of the media (whose masters are convinced they know what’s best for the country) – not only in rooting for candidates, but also suppressing violations of the Constitution, in order to guarantee criminals like George W. Bush a second term – fell on mainstream (deaf) ears). Ray’s side of the debate lost; it wasn’t even close.

Ray has appeared on The Newshour, C-Span’s Washington Journal, CNN, BBC, a number of domestic Russian TV channels, Aljazeera, RT, PressTV, CCTV and many other TV & radio programs and documentaries. Ray’s favorite gig was debating Iraq with yellow-cake-aluminum connoisseur and ex-CIA Director James Woolsey on Charlie Rose on Aug. 20, 2004. (See minute 17:48 when Woolsey plays the “anti-Semitic” card against Ray.)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XjP7_LwthfE
Ray was in NYC with filmmaker Robert Greenwald for the debut of his full-length documentary, Uncovered: The Whole Truth About the Iraq War. Ray is often on the road, giving talks and interviews to a wide variety of audiences in the U.S. and abroad.
A founder of Sam Adams Associates for Integrity in Intelligence ( samadamsaward.ch ), Ray was happy to be able, with former awardees Thomas Drake, Coleen Rowley, Jesselyn Radack, to present the annual award in 2013 to Edward Snowden.
Ray’s B.A. and M.A. degrees – both from Fordham University – are in Russian history, language, and literature, with minors in theology, philosophy, and classics. He has taught Russian as an adjunct at the University of Virginia. Ray also holds a Certificate in Theological Studies from Georgetown University and is a graduate of Harvard Business School’s Advanced Management Program.
A Catholic, Ray has been worshipping for many years with the ecumenical Church of the Saviour. He has been invited to lecture at various interfaith and ecumenical events around the U.S., and has preached during services at a number of Christian churches and Jewish synagogues.
Ray enjoys being asked to “substitute teach” at universities and colleges. At George Washington University, though, he quickly wore out his welcome when he stood silently with his back turned toward then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. He was seized and badly beaten directly in front of Clinton, while she spoke eloquently about the need for freedom of expression – in Iran.

Sam Adams Award for Integrity in Intelligence 2019 Goes to Jeffrey Sterling!
Jeffrey Sterling receives the Sam Adams Award Jan
<div class="player-unavailable"><h1 class="message">An error occurred.</h1><div class="submessage"><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qghZdm2LK0E" target="_blank">Try watching this video on www.youtube.com</a>, or enable JavaScript if it is disabled in your browser.</div></div>
The above video is of our 2019 Sam Adams award presentation on January 15, 2020 to former CIA agent and hero whistleblower Jeffrey Sterling. The evening began with a song dedicated to Jeffrey and the integrity he (and his wife Holly) displayed throughout Jeffrey’s truth telling ordeal. (While viewers must “bear with us” as the singing was unrehearsed so a bit offkey), the (partial) lyrics below by songwriter Ann Reed DO “tell the story.”
Heroes What can I learn from you
In your lifetime, in what you’ve been through
How’d you keep your head up and hold your pride
In an insane world how’d you keep on tryin’
One life can tell the tale
That if you make the effort, you can not fail
By your life you tell me it can be done
By your life’s the courage to carry on
(chorus:)
Heroes
Appear like a friend
To clear a path or light the flame
As time goes by you find you depend
On your heroes to show you the way
What can I learn from you
That I must do the thing I think I can not do
That you do what’s right by your heart and soul
It’s the imperfections that make us whole
One life can tell the tale
And if you make the effort you can not fail
By your life you tell me it can be done
By your life’s the courage to carry on…
The presentation to Sterling was preceded by a showing of the poignant docudrama “Official Secrets,” the true story of the second (2003) Sam Adams award recipient Katherine Gun. SAAII members Ray McGovern, Tom Drake, Jesselyn Radack, John Kiriakou, Larry Wilkerson, Ann Wright, and Coleen Rowley spoke at the event while Todd Pierce and Elizabeth Murray made the actual presentation. Among the other members in attendance were William Binney, Clement “Lu” Laniewsky, Robert Wing, Karen Kwiatkowsky and Gareth Porter. Stellar defense attorneys Edward MacMahon and Barry Pollack were also on hand to publicly congratulate Jeffrey as well as a standing-room-only full of admirers of the integrity Jeffrey displayed in telling the truth during these troubled times when, as CIA analyst Sam Adams learned the hard way during Vietnam, truth tends to be the first casualty during a time of war.
Whistleblower Jeffrey Sterling, Who Went Through Kafkaesque Trial, Wins 2020 Sam Adams Award
by Raymond McGovern in Consortium News, Jan 12, 2020, excerpt:
Former CIA operations officer Jeffrey Sterling will receive the Sam Adams Award for Integrity in Intelligence this Wednesday, joining 17 earlier winners who, like Sterling, demonstrated extraordinary devotion to the truth and the rule of law by having the courage to blow the whistle on government wrongdoing.
Tuesday will mark the fifth anniversary of the eerie beginning of Sterling’s trial for espionage — the kind of trial that might have left even Franz Kafka, author of the classic novel The Trial, stunned in disbelief.
There can be a heavy price exacted for exposing abuse by secretive governments — especially ones that have neutered the press to the point where they are immune to exposure when they take serious liberties with the law. Making this reality plainly obvious, of course, is one of the U.S. government’s primary aims in putting whistleblowers like Sterling in prison — lest others get the idea they can blow the whistle and get away with it.
With his Sam Adams award, Sterling brings to five the number of award recipients imprisoned for exposing government abuse (not counting 2013 Sam Adams laureate, Ed Snowden, who was made stateless and has been marooned in Russia for over six years). Worst still, Julian Assange (2010) and Chelsea Manning (2014) remain in prison, where UN Special Rapporteur on Torture Nils Melzer says they are being tortured… (Read remainder of article at Consortiumnews.)

FBI INVOLVEMENT IN CIA BLACK SITE INTERROGATIONS CONFIRMED BY THIRD WITNESS

Developing Stories
COVID-19 and prisons
States’ departments of correction are taking steps to limit the potential spread of COVID-19 in their facilities. But social distancing in these already overcrowded environments is a particular challenge.
One strategy will be to limit incarcerated people’s access to those who have been outside the facility. In Georgia, the state decided to prohibit in-person visitation through April 10, and in New Hampshire, new transfers and visitors are being questioned about their potential exposure.
MuckRock has reached out to the DOCs about their preparedness plans, but some have already reached into their security exemption baskets to deny our requests, including Iowa and South Carolina. Most have not acknowledged our requests from earlier this week at all.
We’ll continue following coronavirus responses in correctional centers. We want to know how these departments are already prepared to track and prevent illness in their facilities and, relatedly, how inmates will be able to continue to communicate with their families across the country.
We’ve filed a request with the New York Department of Corrections and Community Supervision, which New York Governor Andrew Cuomo announced this week will be working to produce more hand sanitizer for free distribution to public institutions.
Do you have a story to share about contacting a loved one in a prison facility? Please share it with us.
ices for medical supplies, including hand sanitizer, are spiking on Amazon. Days after Coronavirus became a pandemic, a four-pack of hand sanitizer was selling for $159.00. Lysol wipes were going for $70.00. People are now demanding that Amazon stop this kind of price gouging. U.S. PIRG started a petition for Amazon to address price gouging for emergency supplies. If you believe there should be no place for price gouging on Amazon for medical supplies during the Coronavirus pandemic, sign their petition.
Tell Amazon: Prevent price gouging during emergencies
After the World Health Organization (WHO) declared coronavirus a global health emergency, prices for medical supplies, including hand sanitizer, skyrocketed on Amazon.
A four-pack of Purell hand sanitizer was selling for $159. Two containers of Lysol wipes cost $70.
That’s not “good business;” that’s taking advantage of consumers during an emergency. And although Amazon has retroactively deleted some products for price gouging, these spikes should never have happened in the first place.
Price gouging during emergencies needs to end. Tell Amazon to implement safeguards that prevent prices from significantly inflating during states of emergency.
Price gouging is when sellers use emergencies as opportunities to inflate their prices exorbitantly due to increased demand. It’s a tactic that takes advantage of people in tough, or even dangerous, positions -- and it’s against the law in many states.
But as coronavirus has become an increasingly global threat, prices for critical supplies sold by third-party vendors and by Amazon itself, have shot up.
This isn’t the first time price gouging has run rampant on Amazon. As the Category 5 Hurricane Irma approached Florida in 2017, prices for basic emergency supplies went through the roof, with cases of bottled water seeing price increases of up to 500 percent at times.
There’s no reason price gouging should be allowed to continue on one of the largest online marketplaces in the country. Amazon’s algorithm should protect consumers in emergency situations, not allow skyrocketing prices.
Amazon agrees: There’s no place for price gouging on its platform.6 But while the company is taking action after prices spike, it clearly lacks the necessary controls to prevent significant increases during emergencies.
Amazon needs to do more to protect consumers from unfair price gouging during emergencies.
The fact that Amazon vendors are able to inflate prices on medical supplies that people believe they need to protect themselves and their families -- and on effective supplies like hand sanitizer -- shows a deep flaw in the company’s ability to protect consumers from unfair pricing during emergencies.
Instead of catching price gouging after the fact -- and after consumers in tough positions have potentially already paid exorbitant prices -- Amazon should have a system in place that prevents price gouging before it starts.
By implementing a system that prevents anyone -- Amazon, computer algorithm or seller -- from raising prices for products significantly above their 90-day averages during emergencies, Amazon would help to protect consumers who may be relying on its marketplace for supplies.
Add your name: Tell Amazon to implement safeguards to stop price gouging before it happens.
Thank you,

Your action is urgently needed to stop a three year reauthorization of PATRIOT Act surveillance authorities!
Mitch McConnell is trying to ram a deeply flawed bill through the Senate TODAY, without debate and no chance for amendments. Please take two minutes to call your Senators and tell them to block McConnell’s attempt to choke off debate.
Contact your Senator today and urge them to vote against cloture on the USA Freedom Reauthorization Act of 2020.
Take Action
Then help us spread the word by forwarding this email to your contacts and sharing it on social media.
****
Here’s the full story:
Today at 5:30 ET, Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell will attempt to invoke cloture on the USA Freedom Reauthorization Act of 2020 - that means shutting down debate on the bill and moving forward for a full vote.The USA Freedom Reauthorization Act would renew PATRIOT Act Authorities without necessary reforms. Sen. McConnell will attempt to secure the 60 votes needed to silence our allies including Sens. Steve Daines (R-MT), Mike Lee (R-UT), Patrick Leahy (D-VT), Ron Wyden (D-OR), and others fighting for the chance to amend the bill, which has been widely decried as inadequate (at best) by many civil liberties groups. This is particularly notable because as a result of a campaign by Congressional leadership in both chambers (by both parties) to prevent members of Congress from having any legitimate chance to cast any real votes on any serious FISA reform, no committee has marked up or passed this legislation.
But, we have the chance to stop Mitch McConnell from ramming this deeply flawed reauthorization bill through the Senate without debate and amendment. We need you to call your Senator today and tell them to vote against cloture for the USA Freedom Reauthorization Act of 2020.
If we are successful in preventing cloture, the outcome is likely a 45-day reauthorization CONTINGENT upon an opportunity for our Congressional allies to offer meaningful, privacy-protective amendments to the bill. Even if the bill ultimately lacks enough reform to earn our support, we MUST fight for the chance to attempt to improve it as much as possible. We must defeat Mitch McConnell’s cloture attempt today. Call your Senator today and urge them to vote against cloture on the USA Freedom Reauthorization Act of 2020.
Take Action

Spanish Government Aims to Roll Out Basic Income ‘Soon’
The Spanish government is working to roll out a universal basic income as soon as possible, as part of a battery of actions aimed at countering the impact of the coronavirus pandemic, according to Economy Minister Nadia Calvino.
Social Security Minister Jose Luis Escriva is coordinating the project and plans to put some sort of basic income “in place as soon as possible,” with the main focus on assisting families, Calvino, who also serves as deputy prime minister, said in an interview Sunday night with Spanish broadcaster La Sexta.
But the government’s broader ambition is that basic income becomes an instrument “that stays forever, that becomes a structural instrument, a permanent instrument,” she said.
STATE ADVOCACY NEWSLETTER
COVID-19 has led state advocates to demand prison and jail systems decarcerate to stem outbreaks in facilities often challenged by poor conditions and overcrowding. This public health crisis is particularly troubling for those who are elderly and live with chronic illnesses and face heighten risk of hospitalization or death if they contract the illness. Decarceration practices or calls for reform have been documented in at least 31 states and the District of Columbia to reduce health risks for incarcerated persons vulnerable to COVID-19.
Rapid Response
State and local advocates mobilized quickly to reduce prison and jail populations as COVID-19 spread across the United States. Campaigns at the local level like Decarcerate-Allegheny County in Pennsylvania issued recommendations to various practitioners ranging from the district attorney, judges, and the sheriff to use their authority to release elderly persons and those medically vulnerable. Similar efforts were launched in localities in California, Illinois, Texas, and Washington DC. State advocates in Indiana directed demands towards governors and parole boards to release older and medically vulnerable persons. Documented changes in response to COVID-19 include:
• California – Moratorium on new admissions to state prisons, expedited release for 3,500 persons approved for parole, and commutations of 21 persons, including persons sentenced to life imprisonment;
•
• Colorado – Gov. Jared Polis issued an executive order that prevents new persons from entering state prisons;
•
• Florida – Department of Corrections limited new prison admissions to reduce spread of the novel coronavirus;
•
• Georgia – Officials considering clemency release for persons sentenced to non-violent offenses who are within 180 days of completing their prison term;
•
• Hawaii – Prison officials exploring early releases to reduce spread of the novel coronavirus;
•
• Iowa – Accelerated releases for persons previously approved for parole;
•
• Kentucky – Gov. Andy Beshear signed an executive order commuting the sentences of more than 180 persons sentenced to low level felonies, authorizing their early release. Officials also plan to release more than 760 persons who are within 6 months of completing their prison term.
•
• New Jersey – The chief justice ordered the release of an estimated 1,000 individuals from county jails;
•
• New York – Gov. Andrew Cuomo issued an executive order releasing an estimated 1,100 persons incarcerated on parole revocations; and
•
• Wisconsin – Stopped new prison admissions.
•
Public Pressure
Activism during social distancing – a non-medical intervention to prevent the spread of the coronavirus by maintaining a physical distance between people – challenges state and local advocates to employ strategic advocacy tactics. State groups in California and New York launched a social media action targeted to both states’ governors to grant clemency to medically vulnerable and elder prisoners. The Clemency Coast to Coast effort encouraged supporters to contact both governors via social media platforms and demand releases to prevent COVID-19 spread. Other advocates earn media attention by well-supported demand letters, litigation, and coordination of calls and emails to practitioners demanding prison or jail releases.

Coronavirus: mortality rates, hidden information, withheld drugs. Part 1
1. Coronavirus by the numbers
Today, the United States has over half a million people who have tested positive for Coronavirus.
Today, the United States became the nation with the highest death toll in the world from the novel coronavirus. Twenty thousand US deaths. In the space of 6 weeks we have gone from zero to 2,000 deaths per day. Yet most of our country has yet to experience the wrath of this virus. My county has only 4 known cases, and my state has had only 17 deaths... so far.
After exposure to the coronavirus, it takes on average 5-6 days, but sometimes up to 2 weeks, to become ill. Then, if you are one of the unlucky 20% who become seriously ill, in another week you may crash with respiratory failure. It takes about another two weeks for roughly half of the seriously ill to die.
Death rates therefore trail exposure by about a month. Case rates will trail exposure by 1-2 weeks. We have been quarantining ourselves to a degree for 4 weeks now. Case rates and deaths should be leveling off, and they appear to be. That horrifying exponential curve, in which deaths were doubling every 2-3 days, has begun to flatten. This is good, but it is just the first step in dealing with the emergency this virus created. Quarantining the public last month was the only possible plan A to minimize deaths. But it seems our leaders have no Plan B to return us to normality. More on this in Part 2.
The novel Coronavirus (its official name is SARS-CoV-2) is the newer and nastier version of its 2003 cousin, SARS-CoV: they have the same 11% mortality rate, the same high environmental stability, but the new coronavirus is much more infectious. Let me repeat that: the current pandemic is the second iteration of SARS, and this virus has the same official name as SARS, except that a 2 has been added to indicate it is #2.
Both SARS-1 and SARS-2 have an incubation period of about 6 days, and an Rzero estimate about 2.7, which is the number of people each person with the disease is likely to infect. Each virus causes pneumonia, but can also infect the gastrointestinal tract and the upper respiratory tract. Each frequently induces a cytokine storm and ARDS. SARS-2 has been noted to cause heart failure via infection of heart muscle.
2. What about those mortality rates?
According to one of the excellent SARS-2 tracking websites, the SARS-2 mortality rate is 7%, calculated by the number of people in the world who tested positive (the denominator), and the number who have died from SARS-2 (the numerator). The first problem with this method is that most cases were diagnosed recently, and have not had the illness long enough for us to know whether they will survive or succumb. Looking at the US alone, using this same method of calculation, the US mortality rate is 3.75%. But especially in the US, most cases were only recently diagnosed. The other problems with this method are a) that testing has been limited, reducing the potential number of identified cases, and b) that multiple tests are being used, some without prior FDA review, and their sensitivity and specificity are unknown. Various tests are being used in the rest of the world, with some countries performing widespread testing and others restricting testing.
Given those caveats, let's look at 4 European countries where the pandemic spread earlier than in the US, and are therefore farther along the epidemic curve. Theoretically, their mortality rates will be more accurate. Using the identical method as above, one calculates a mortality rate for Italy of 12.8%. Spain's rate is 10.2%. France's rate is 10.6%. The UK's mortality rate is 12.5%.
3. New York, our harbinger
If you zero in on New York, our worst-hit state, at first glance it does not seem too awful. Total positive tests: 170,512 and total deaths 7,844, for a 4.6% mortality rate.
How many people required hospitalization? 33,159 cumulatively, with 18,569 currently hospitalized. The recovered are said to total 14,590. Coronavirus cases in New York currently fill about 1/3 of the 53,000 hospital beds NY had at baseline, although they fill a disproportionate number of ICU beds. Of those hospitalized in NY, 27% are in ICUs.
If you compare the number who have died to the sum of the recovered (discharged from hospital) plus the deceased, the numbers (and the benefits from treatment) do not look very good: 30% of those who were hospitalized for coronavirus died, while 70% recovered. If 20% of those with coronavirus require hospitalization, as claimed, and 30% of those hospitalized die, and no one died at home, there would be a mortality rate of 6%. However, NYC reported a spike in those dying at home.
What does all this mean? In my opinion, the quality of medical care in western Europe is at least equal to that in the US. While we ought to benefit from the knowledge gained by those treating this disease first in Asia and then Europe, it does not seem that what we have learned has made much of a dent on the mortality rate. I anticipate we will see mortality rates equalling those in western Europe over the next few weeks.
From where did Dr. Fauci get his data when he predicted a 1% mortality rate? Does he have better data that has not been made public?
4. Medical mysteries. Doctors around the world are talking to each other, but strategies to improve survival remain elusive, or restricted
Our world is now 4 months into this pandemic. Over 100,000 people have died, and hundreds of thousands have been hospitalized.
How can it be that we know so little about the proper medical management of this disease? Why isn't information on drug trials available yet? China reportedly had 260 trials. Europe has had more. Many different drugs have been tried. Where are the data?
How can it be that most of those who are placed on ventilators do not come off alive?
Why are some manufacturers allowed to have a lock on patents and prices, when the cost to manufacture most of the most promising drugs is minimal?
5. We want drugs now, but they want a vaccine later
How can it be that Dr. Fauci is indignant about using hydroxychloroquine (a drug costing about $1.00 per patient course) on potentially fatal cases because there is "only" anecdotal and lab evidence of success, yet he is thrilled to sponsor a clinical trial of coronavirus vaccine in humans before it has even gone through animal testing, as required by law? Why does he have such a high evidentiary bar in the first case, and such a low bar in the second?
Why are the doctors leading the US' coronavirus efforts unable to do more than spout platitudes and pay homage to disease models that fail to include accurate data? Why do they sound more like politicians than doctors? Is anyone looking out for the public's health today, rather than going gaga over a vaccine that may or may not be available in a year or two? And which may or may not actually enhance the disease's virulence in recipients? According to Nature:
"With SARS-CoV-2 vaccines, researchers’ main safety concern is to avoid a phenomenon called disease enhancement, in which vaccinated people who do get infected develop a more severe form of the disease than people who have never been vaccinated. In studies of an experimental SARS vaccine reported in 2004, vaccinated ferrets developed damaging inflammation in their livers after being infected with the virus."
New vaccines are highly profitable. Gardasil, Prevnar and the MMRV vaccine each sell for over $200 per dose, and each recipient requires multiple doses. What might a successful coronavirus vaccine cost? Does the potential for huge profits from a new vaccine versus the limited profitability of old (and mostly generic) drugs have anything to do with Dr. Fauci's preferences? Why are the mass media breathless over a corona vaccine, while shouting dire warnings of the dangers of hydroxychloroquine?
6. Dangerous drugs?
Do you want to discuss truly dangerous drugs? Consider SSRI antidepressants. They are associated with a boatload of suicides, such that they are labelled with "black box" warnings, used for only the riskiest drugs. Yet according to NBC, 12% of Americans take antidepressants, most of which are SSRIs. They are associated with cardiac toxicity and arrhythmias, especially if taken with certain other drugs. Are our public health officials using the media to warn us about this major public health risk?
Chloroquine, and the related drug hydroxychloroquine, are naturally associated with some risk, as are all drugs. But they have a very interesting benefit: they kill SARS-2. The FDA approves and labels drugs based on their risks and benefits. Thus a cancer drug, which may kill you, is approved because the cancer may also kill you, and FDA reasons that a greater level of risk is warranted under the circumstances.
The primary risks of hydroxychloroquine are cardiac arrhythmia (not common, and generally only a problem when there is an interaction with other drugs the patient takes) or ophthalmic toxicity, which occurs almost exclusively with prolonged, cumulative use. I check drug interactions when I prescribe hydroxychloroquine, and pharmacies do as well. Used under these conditions it is a very safe drug. I have prescribed it for lupus, Lyme disease and rheumatoid arthritis, and I took its cousin, chloroquine, for nearly a year for malaria prevention.
In India, healthcare workers are being given this drug in the hope it will prevent SARS-CoV-2 infection, and India initially banned exports so it would have enough for its own population.
Newsweek ran a major story 3 days ago which began: "Hospital in France has had to stop an experimental treatment using hydroxychloroquine on at least one coronavirus patient after it became a "major risk" to their cardiac health." Is Newsweek serious? 'At least' one patient had a well known, not unexpected side effect of a drug, in a foreign country, and it makes the headlines. I hate to tell Newsweek, but Covid-19 causes heart failure and death. What happened to that balance between risk and benefit that allows lethal cancer drugs to be sold?
Apparently the media's deafening warnings about the dangers of hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine failed to stem interest in the drugs. So restrictions are being put into place to stop physicians from prescribing it, except under very limited circumstances. The drugs won't be permitted for prevention, and may only be allowed for hospitalized patients, as is happening in New York. This is a very bad idea, because once you are hospitalized, you are already very ill and it may be too late for the drug to have a beneficial effect. And it will make the drug appear less beneficial during clinical trials.
Australia has restricted chloroquine prescribing by physicians to only those patients who were already on the drug, or only when prescribed by certain specialist physicians. France restricted its use to only severely ill Covid-19 patients.
In the US, restrictions have been implemented at the state level through new rules for pharmacies. Pharmacists have been ordered to withhold the medication, except for special cases, in a number of states.
In response, the American Academy of Physicians and Surgeons, an organization of private physicians, has called for these restrictions to be lifted.
While at first glance it seems reasonable to restrict the drug to avoid shortages, that does not appear to be the issue. Thirty million tablets have been donated to the US national stockpile by Sandoz, under the condition that liability for injuries is waived. Teva has donated 16 million pills, and Amneal 20 million. Bayer, Novartis and Mylan have promised to provide many millions more. The recommended course is a total of 12-16 tablets over 5-6 days.
Is restricting prescriptions for chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine protecting the public health or jeopardizing it? And are those restricting the drug playing doctor without a license? I'm guessing that President Trump, who called hydroxychloroquine a 'game-changer' and whose administration finessed the donations, has not been informed that the public has been prevented from accessing his favorite drug. We know that restricting the availability of these drugs was clearly NOT part of the Trump administration's plans. According to Axios, at a meeting one week ago today:
"The principals [of the coronavirus task force] agreed that the administration's public stance should be that the decision to use the drug is between doctors and patients."
And Trump said, according to the same article,
"What do you have to lose? Take it," the president said in a White House briefing on Saturday. "I really think they should take it. But it's their choice. And it's their doctor's choice or the doctors in the hospital. But hydroxychloroquine. Try it, if you'd like."
But that is clearly not what is happening. Has Dr. Fauci found a way to perform an end run around Trump's wishes? Who gave the orders to limit the drugs' use?
The story will be continued in Part 2.

Why are the mass media breathless over a corona vaccine, while shouting dire warnings of the dangers of hydroxychloroquine?
6. Dangerous drugs?
Do you want to discuss truly dangerous drugs? Consider SSRI antidepressants. They are associated with a boatload of suicides, such that they are labelled with "black box" warnings, used for only the riskiest drugs. Yet according to NBC, 12% of Americans take antidepressants, most of which are SSRIs. They are associated with cardiac toxicity and arrhythmias, especially if taken with certain other drugs. Are our public health officials using the media to warn us about this major public health risk?
Chloroquine, and the related drug hydroxychloroquine, are naturally associated with some risk, as are all drugs. But they have a very interesting benefit: they kill SARS-2. The FDA approves and labels drugs based on their risks and benefits. Thus a cancer drug, which may kill you, is approved because the cancer may also kill you, and FDA reasons that a greater level of risk is warranted under the circumstances.
The primary risks of hydroxychloroquine are cardiac arrhythmia (not common, and generally only a problem when there is an interaction with other drugs the patient takes) or ophthalmic toxicity, which occurs almost exclusively with prolonged, cumulative use. I check drug interactions when I prescribe hydroxychloroquine, and pharmacies do as well. Used under these conditions it is a very safe drug. I have prescribed it for lupus, Lyme disease and rheumatoid arthritis, and I took its cousin, chloroquine, for nearly a year for malaria prevention.
In India, healthcare workers are being given this drug in the hope it will prevent SARS-CoV-2 infection, and India initially banned exports so it would have enough for its own population.
Newsweek ran a major story 3 days ago which began: "Hospital in France has had to stop an experimental treatment using hydroxychloroquine on at least one coronavirus patient after it became a "major risk" to their cardiac health." Is Newsweek serious? 'At least' one patient had a well known, not unexpected side effect of a drug, in a foreign country, and it makes the headlines. I hate to tell Newsweek, but Covid-19 causes heart failure and death. What happened to that balance between risk and benefit that allows lethal cancer drugs to be sold?
Apparently the media's deafening warnings about the dangers of hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine failed to stem interest in the drugs. So restrictions are being put into place to stop physicians from prescribing it, except under very limited circumstances. The drugs won't be permitted for prevention, and may only be allowed for hospitalized patients, as is happening in New York. This is a very bad idea, because once you are hospitalized, you are already very ill and it may be too late for the drug to have a beneficial effect. And it will make the drug appear less beneficial during clinical trials.
Australia has restricted chloroquine prescribing by physicians to only those patients who were already on the drug, or only when prescribed by certain specialist physicians. France restricted its use to only severely ill Covid-19 patients.
In the US, restrictions have been implemented at the state level through new rules for pharmacies. Pharmacists have been ordered to withhold the medication, except for special cases, in a number of states.
In response, the American Academy of Physicians and Surgeons, an organization of private physicians, has called for these restrictions to be lifted.
While at first glance it seems reasonable to restrict the drug to avoid shortages, that does not appear to be the issue. Thirty million tablets have been donated to the US national stockpile by Sandoz, under the condition that liability for injuries is waived. Teva has donated 16 million pills, and Amneal 20 million. Bayer, Novartis and Mylan have promised to provide many millions more. The recommended course is a total of 12-16 tablets over 5-6 days.
Is restricting prescriptions for chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine protecting the public health or jeopardizing it? And are those restricting the drug playing doctor without a license? I'm guessing that President Trump, who called hydroxychloroquine a 'game-changer' and whose administration finessed the donations, has not been informed that the public has been prevented from accessing his favorite drug. We know that restricting the availability of these drugs was clearly NOT part of the Trump administration's plans. According to Axios, at a meeting one week ago today:
"The principals [of the coronavirus task force] agreed that the administration's public stance should be that the decision to use the drug is between doctors and patients."
And Trump said, according to the same article,
"What do you have to lose? Take it," the president said in a White House briefing on Saturday. "I really think they should take it. But it's their choice. And it's their doctor's choice or the doctors in the hospital. But hydroxychloroquine. Try it, if you'd like."
But that is clearly not what is happening. Has Dr. Fauci found a way to perform an end run around Trump's wishes? Who gave the orders to limit the drugs' use?
The story will be continued in Part 2.

Jeffery Epstein And The FBI
By J. R. de Szigethy
PROLOGUE
The investigations into the crimes committed by millionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and his accomplices did not end with his death, but only have intensified with each succeeding month since. Investigators in the Media and law enforcement have focused on those in Epstein's inner circle who participated in what Federal Prosecutors in New York may ultimately designate as a Mafia-style “Racketeering Enterprise” involved in the human trafficking sex trade.
Early last year, Federal Judge Kenneth A. Marra ruled that Federal Prosecutors in 2008 violated the Crime Victims' Rights Act by not informing Epstein's known victims regarding their decision to not pursue Federal charges against Epstein. Former U. S. Attorney Alexander Acosta signed off on the “Non-Prosecution Agreement” that circumvented a Draft 53-page Federal Indictment based upon interviews with numerous of teen-aged girls sexually assaulted by Epstein. Armed with this evidence, the Feds in Miami could have sent Epstein away for the rest of his life.
Instead, Epstein was offered an agreement by which no Federal charges were pursued, allowing Epstein to plead Guilty in State Court to two Felony charges involving a single female under the age of Consent, a young girl whom Epstein's criminal lawyers had dismissed as a “Prostitute.”
During his 13-month “incarceration” in a Palm Beach County jail, Epstein was literally given the keys to his cell, leaving for over half of each day to work as a financial planner for wealthy businessmen.
Only because public interest in this case was elevated by Media reporting, most notably by the Miami Herald newspaper, and because the U. S. Attorney in this case later came under increased scrutiny once he became Secretary of the U. S. Department of Labor, did the American people gradually learn about this latest government scandal.
Jeffery Epstein and the FBI
General Forfeiture Matters, Jeffrey Epstein, WST – Child Prostitution
Curiously, the FBI has posted on it's website several Internal documents relating to the Epstein investigation from their archives. One such document, entitled: “General Forfeiture Matters, Jeffrey Epstein, WST – Child Prostitution,” states: “On 9/11/08, Case Agent advised Writer that Epstein is currently being prosecuted by the State of Florida. Epstein has also provided information to the FBI as agreed upon. Case Agent advised that no Federal Prosecution will occur in this matter as long as Epstein continues to uphold his agreement with the State of Florida. Case Agent also advised that no further forfeiture assistance will be required for this case.”
Jeffery Epstein and the FBI
Stone Carving Above the Entrance to the Epstein Mansion in Manhattan
Here's what this means: “Asset Forfeiture” statutes allow the Feds to seize, upon Conviction in a Federal Court, the assets of a convicted criminal. In Epstein's case, his assets included a Mansion in Manhattan appraised at over $50 Million, and others in New Mexico, Florida, and the U. S. Virgin Islands. Epstein also owned corporate jets that he used to fly wealthy and influential friends to his various residences.
According to this FBI document, all of Epstein's valuable assets were thus safe, as long as he co-operated with the State Prosecutors as well as the Federal Government as an FBI Informant.
This government scandal, as disturbing as it is, however, is by no means unprecedented. Herein is presented a comparative analysis of Jeffrey Epstein with three other FBI Informants who preceded him; Boston crime boss James “Whitey” Bulger, Ed “Skull” Murphy, and Colombo Mafia Family hitman and drug dealer Greg Scarpa. Their life stories as career criminals, which includes involvement in sex crimes and blackmail, are essentially the same.
These narratives will also reveal that the Mission of the FBI, carried out by their Agents, most of whom are honest and hard-working, nevertheless has been compromised by a systemic pattern of corruption among the leadership of the FBI, which began with the establishment of this U. S. Intelligence Agency from it's inception, and continues into this new Century.
PART ONE: WHITEY BULGER AND THE FBI
The FBI's protection of Jeffrey Epstein as an FBI Informant mirrors their prior protection of Boston Crime Boss James “Whitey” Bulger; their stories are essentially the same. The FBI began protecting Bulger as an FBI Informant in 1975, the year he committed his second Domestic Terrorist bombing in Boston that should have sent him to prison for the rest of his life. A life-long racist, his vitriol against African-Americans would eventually lead to his final apprehension and prosecution.
Bulger was first sent to prison in 1956, upon his conviction for armed robbery and truck hijacking. Once he was released, Bulger embarked in a life-long racist campaign against African-Americans. In 1974 Bulger committed his first known fire-bombing at the Kingsbury Elementary School in Wellesley Hills, the neighborhood in which resided the U. S. District Judge who had ordered the de-Segregation of the Boston public schools. A year later, in September, 1975, Bulger and an accomplice fire-bombed the birthplace of President Kennedy, in protest of the support for de-Segregation being offered publicly by the murdered President's brother Edward, a U. S. Senator. Because the President's birthplace was a National Historic Site administered by the U. S. Parks Service, evidence regarding the fire-bombing was turned over to the FBI for investigation. However, instead of being arrested for these 2 firebombing acts of domestic terrorism, Bulger was signed up as an FBI Informant. (1)
But there is the FBI, and then there is the DEA; Bulger had no such protection from the Drug Enforcement Administration. In 1994, a Task Force comprised of an alliance between the DEA, the Massachusetts State Police, and the Boston Police Department, compiled a massive case against Bulger on multiple charges, centered on Bulger's trafficking of drugs. However, Bulger had at least two corrupt FBI Agents protecting him, one of whom, John Connolly, tipped him off as to his imminent arrest. So Whitey went on the lam. Years passed, and the FBI seemed to have

General Forfeiture Matters, Jeffrey Epstein, WST – Child Prostitution
Curiously, the FBI has posted on it's website several Internal documents relating to the Epstein investigation from their archives. One such document, entitled: “General Forfeiture Matters, Jeffrey Epstein, WST – Child Prostitution,” states: “On 9/11/08, Case Agent advised Writer that Epstein is currently being prosecuted by the State of Florida. Epstein has also provided information to the FBI as agreed upon. Case Agent advised that no Federal Prosecution will occur in this matter as long as Epstein continues to uphold his agreement with the State of Florida. Case Agent also advised that no further forfeiture assistance will be required for this case.”
Jeffery Epstein and the FBI
Stone Carving Above the Entrance to the Epstein Mansion in Manhattan
Here's what this means: “Asset Forfeiture” statutes allow the Feds to seize, upon Conviction in a Federal Court, the assets of a convicted criminal. In Epstein's case, his assets included a Mansion in Manhattan appraised at over $50 Million, and others in New Mexico, Florida, and the U. S. Virgin Islands. Epstein also owned corporate jets that he used to fly wealthy and influential friends to his various residences.
According to this FBI document, all of Epstein's valuable assets were thus safe, as long as he co-operated with the State Prosecutors as well as the Federal Government as an FBI Informant.
This government scandal, as disturbing as it is, however, is by no means unprecedented. Herein is presented a comparative analysis of Jeffrey Epstein with three other FBI Informants who preceded him; Boston crime boss James “Whitey” Bulger, Ed “Skull” Murphy, and Colombo Mafia Family hitman and drug dealer Greg Scarpa. Their life stories as career criminals, which includes involvement in sex crimes and blackmail, are essentially the same.
These narratives will also reveal that the Mission of the FBI, carried out by their Agents, most of whom are honest and hard-working, nevertheless has been compromised by a systemic pattern of corruption among the leadership of the FBI, which began with the establishment of this U. S. Intelligence Agency from it's inception, and continues into this new Century.
PART ONE: WHITEY BULGER AND THE FBI
The FBI's protection of Jeffrey Epstein as an FBI Informant mirrors their prior protection of Boston Crime Boss James “Whitey” Bulger; their stories are essentially the same. The FBI began protecting Bulger as an FBI Informant in 1975, the year he committed his second Domestic Terrorist bombing in Boston that should have sent him to prison for the rest of his life. A life-long racist, his vitriol against African-Americans would eventually lead to his final apprehension and prosecution.
Bulger was first sent to prison in 1956, upon his conviction for armed robbery and truck hijacking. Once he was released, Bulger embarked in a life-long racist campaign against African-Americans. In 1974 Bulger committed his first known fire-bombing at the Kingsbury Elementary School in Wellesley Hills, the neighborhood in which resided the U. S. District Judge who had ordered the de-Segregation of the Boston public schools. A year later, in September, 1975, Bulger and an accomplice fire-bombed the birthplace of President Kennedy, in protest of the support for de-Segregation being offered publicly by the murdered President's brother Edward, a U. S. Senator. Because the President's birthplace was a National Historic Site administered by the U. S. Parks Service, evidence regarding the fire-bombing was turned over to the FBI for investigation. However, instead of being arrested for these 2 firebombing acts of domestic terrorism, Bulger was signed up as an FBI Informant. (1)
But there is the FBI, and then there is the DEA; Bulger had no such protection from the Drug Enforcement Administration. In 1994, a Task Force comprised of an alliance between the DEA, the Massachusetts State Police, and the Boston Police Department, compiled a massive case against Bulger on multiple charges, centered on Bulger's trafficking of drugs. However, Bulger had at least two corrupt FBI Agents protecting him, one of whom, John Connolly, tipped him off as to his imminent arrest. So Whitey went on the lam. Years passed, and the FBI seemed to have

It is medically illogical to wait until someone is very sick before treating them
Here's the thing. For the first week of clinical illness, disease is primarily in the respiratory tract, and viral titers are rising. After a week, you start making detectable antibodies, and usually viral titers decline. But other processes are at work making you sick, especially an inappropriate immune response. And you are still dealing with damage that was caused by the virus.
While many things can go very wrong after that first week (heart failure, kidney failure, blood clots neurologic damage, etc.) the main killer is ARDS and inappropriate immune-mediated damage.
ARDS has a mortality rate of about 40%, and nothing tried over decades has made much impact on that. Likewise, there are no great treatments for kidney and heart failure, nor for most neurologic illness.
It should be obvious that with a disease whose course evolves over time in the manner of COVID-19, you have to attack the virus hard and fast, rather than the mess it leaves in its wake. That can only be done in the early stage. Treatment trials need to enroll patients when they first become ill, rather than holding off.
If there is a shortage of hydroxychloroquine, for example, and that is the reason for waiting to treat, then the public needs to be told, and to be told what the plan is to ameliorate the shortage, if it turns out to be effective.
We won't be able to identify a really good COVID drug unless we start using it early. Why are our federal health agencies doing everything wrong?

Why North Dakota Has the Best Internet in the United States

The Trump administration wants in. In your home, in your phone, inside your computer. They’re teaming up with Mitch McConnell to make it happen.
Within days, Mitch McConnell is hoping to ram through a reauthorization of the Patriot Act’s notorious mass surveillance provision: Section 215. He has three amendments to give the Trump administration even more power to spy on Americans without a warrant.
But our Senate allies (a bi-partisan team that includes Senators Lee (R-UT) and Leahy (D-VT) among others) will have three amendments of their own to stop McConnell.
It’s going to be a showdown between us and the Surveillance Hawks, with our civil liberties and our democracy hanging in the balance. That’s why your Senators need to hear from you, right now!
Sign the petition: Tell the Senate to rein in Patriot Act surveillance, and vote for crucial amendments to protect our civil liberties!
Congress was supposed to vote on the Patriot Act back in March, before the nation went into the coronavirus stay-at-home orders. But Trump and McConnell faced a huge roadblock: activists like you and many members of Congress. Thanks to your advocacy, McConnell failed to muster the votes needed to extend the Trump administration’s spying powers. But they’re determined to push it through now, while everyone is focused on fighting the coronavirus.
There’s only one shot at this. Our allies in Congress are putting together three crucial reform amendments. But with so little time left before this important vote, your senators need to hear that you expect them to support the amendments that will stop the Trump administration from abusing his powers.

The Trump administration wants in. In your home, in your phone, inside your computer. They’re teaming up with Mitch McConnell to make it happen.
Within days, Mitch McConnell is hoping to ram through a reauthorization of the Patriot Act’s notorious mass surveillance provision: Section 215. He has three amendments to give the Trump administration even more power to spy on Americans without a warrant.
But our Senate allies (a bi-partisan team that includes Senators Lee (R-UT) and Leahy (D-VT) among others) will have three amendments of their own to stop McConnell.
It’s going to be a showdown between us and the Surveillance Hawks, with our civil liberties and our democracy hanging in the balance. That’s why your Senators need to hear from you, right now!
Sign the petition: Tell the Senate to rein in Patriot Act surveillance, and vote for crucial amendments to protect our civil liberties!
Congress was supposed to vote on the Patriot Act back in March, before the nation went into the coronavirus stay-at-home orders. But Trump and McConnell faced a huge roadblock: activists like you and many members of Congress. Thanks to your advocacy, McConnell failed to muster the votes needed to extend the Trump administration’s spying powers. But they’re determined to push it through now, while everyone is focused on fighting the coronavirus.
There’s only one shot at this. Our allies in Congress are putting together three crucial reform amendments. But with so little time left before this important vote, your senators need to hear that you expect them to support the amendments that will stop the Trump administration from abusing his powers.

INVESTIGATIVE SUMMARY
Findings of Misconduct by a then Assistant United States Attorney (AUSA) for Failure to File Federal or State Income Tax Returns for Three Consecutive Years
The Department of Justice (DOJ) Office of the Inspector General (OIG) initiated this investigation upon the receipt of information from the Executive Office for U.S. Attorneys (EOUSA) alleging that a then AUSA failed to file federal or state individual income tax returns for three consecutive years and owed approximately $18,000 in back taxes.
The OIG investigation substantiated the allegation that the AUSA willfully failed to file federal individual income tax returns for three consecutive years in violation of federal law and federal ethics regulations, and owed more than $31,000 in federal taxes for that taxable period. The OIG also substantiated that the AUSA willfully failed to file state individual income tax returns, in violation of state law, and owed more than $600 in state taxes for that same taxable period.
The Department removed the AUSA from federal service while the OIG investigation was ongoing.
Federal and state prosecution of the AUSA was declined

Trump’s Advisers Have a Brazen Plot to Gut Social Security
by ALEX LAWSON
In the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, the policy Donald Trump is fixated on has nothing to do with ramping up testing, getting protective equipment to workers, or sending resources to nursing homes where tens of thousands of seniors are dying of COVID-19. Instead, he’s obsessed with cutting payroll taxes, Social Security’s dedicated revenue.
Now, Trump’s economic advisers and his unqualified son-in-law Jared Kushner have another way to undermine Social Security: The so-called “Eagle Plan,” which would be more aptly named the Work ’Til You Die Plan. It would give people $10,000, but only if they agreed to sign away a portion of their future Social Security benefits. This plan asks desperate families, terrified of going without food

THE TROUBLING HISTORY OF THE GEORGIA BUREAU NOW INVESTIGATING THE AHMAUD ARBERY COVER-UP
Akela Lacy
May 14 2020, 5:27 p.m.
WHEN THE Georgia Bureau of Investigation announced last week that it would be probing the Glynn County Police Department’s dismissal of the killing of Ahmaud Arbery, some people breathed a sigh of relief. It was a welcome development after the lynching of a 25-year-old black man, whose white killers had been walking free for 74 days — even though the entire incident was caught on tape.
But those familiar with the GBI responded with warranted skepticism. Sure, it was a step in the right direction. But at that point, almost anything would have been. Local police and elected officials for over two months had found reasons not to arrest either of the men — Gregory and Travis McMichael — who chased and killed Arbery while he was jogging. After all, one was their former colleague. The other, his son.

Buffalo Cops—And All the Other Cops
by BRUCE JACKSON
Buffalo I
Everybody knows about the second of two violent police attacks on peaceful citizens in Buffalo last week.
On June 4, two members of the Buffalo Police Department Emergency Response Team knocked 75-year-old Martin Gugino to the ground in front of the city hall steps. They were clearing the area of demonstrators, even though city hall had, at that point, been closed for four hours, there were only a few demonstrators, and they weren’t doing anything but standing there.
When he was shoved to the ground, Gugino was just trying to talk to them. He had a helmet in his left hand, a cell phone in his right. After he hit the ground, with blood streaming from his right ear, a policeman went to help him, but a superior officer pushed him away. The line of police moved on, leaving Gugino unconscious on

PART TWO: ED “SKULL” MURPHY AND THE FBI
The FBI's protection of Ed Murphy began many years before their protection of James “Whitey” Bulger and Jeffrey Epstein, but it is essentially the same story. Murphy was also a pedophile who preyed upon vulnerable youths whom were teenagers. His victims were young boys.
First, he sexually assaulted these boys, plying them with illegal drugs. Once under his sexual and financial control, Murphy then pimped these boys out to rich and prominent closeted gay men, many of whom he then extorted from significant amounts of cash and commodities as blackmail.
Like Whitey Bulger, Murphy was sent to prison for several years as a young man and when he got out he vowed to never go back, even though he was committed to his profession; that of a career criminal. Like Bulger after him, Murphy found that he could be protected from Prosecution by serving the FBI as their Informant. Also, like Bulger, Murphy would perpetuate the false narrative that he was some sort of “folk hero” within his own community.
In Bulger's case, it was the Boston Globe that would expose him as an FBI Informant in their landmark 1988 Feature story. Murphy's double-dealing was outed by the Village Voice in their landmark 1978 Cover Story: “Skull” Murphy: The Gay Double Agent.” (1) Subsequently, numerous books and Media accounts would reveal Murphy's one claim to fame; his work as a Bouncer at Manhattan's Stonewall Inn, on the night of the riot that marked the birth of America's gay rights movement. And, the substantial evidence of Murphy's recruitment and work as an FBI Informant. (2)
The investigations of Ed Murphy by the Media and law enforcement escalated regarding a notorious American Mafia crime committed in broad daylight in Manhattan in 1971. The man who committed this crime had organized crime connections that led investigators to Ed Murphy and his associates, who were also involved with the American Mafia. And, there were 2 men there that day that witnessed this crime whom are now known to have been FBI Informants. One of them was Greg Scarpa, a hitman for the Colombo Mafia Family whom had secretly worked for the FBI since 1960. (3) The man targeted that day for assassination was Scarpa's “other Boss,” the Godfather of the Mafia Family to this very day known by his name; Colombo; Joe Colombo.
The date was June 28, 1971; the location, Columbus Circle in Manhattan. It was Colombo's Second “Italian Unity Day” celebration for his “Italian-American Civil Rights League,” an organization he had created the year previous that perpetuated the false narrative that there was no such thing as the American Mafia. As preposterous as that narrative was, it had actually for many years been championed by the Founding Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, J. Edgar Hoover. Hoover was forced to drop this false narrative when Bobby Kennedy became his “Boss” as Attorney General of the United States.
Godfather Colombo's movement caught on quickly; 50,000 people would jam into Columbus Circle on June 29, 1970, at the League's first public Rally. In November of that year, Frank Sinatra was among many celebrities who appeared in a benefit for the League held at Madison Square Garden. Law enforcement agencies have consistently revealed in the past decades that far less than one percent of Italian-Americans are involved in organized crime. The same can be said for Irish-Americans.
That being said, many of the members of these two ethnic groups have perceived that they have been stereotyped by the Media and the Hollywood entertainment industry. Colombo, like Whitey Bulger after him, seized upon the frustration held by many law-abiding American citizens among these respective ethnic communities. Colombo's and Bulger's Message had validity; they were just the wrong Messengers, who exploited it to their own advantage.
At Colombo's second Rally in 1971, in attendance were numerous members of the Media, some armed with cameras, members of the New York City Police Department, Agents of the FBI, members of several New York Mafia Families, and other criminals. One such was Jerome A. Johnson, a young African-American from New Jersey, accompanied by a young African-American female. Adorned with fake Press credentials, nothing seemed out of the ordinary as Johnson followed Godfather Colombo around with his film camera, along with his assistant. Then, the young woman, as if on cue, called out a greeting to the Godfather. Colombo turned to face her. Johnson now held in his hands both a camera and a gun, which may have been secreted to him by his female accomplice. He then opened fire on Colombo at close range. Several Mafia members then jumped upon Johnson, one of them pumping three bullets into the assassin's back. Despite the presence of dozens of cops, both Johnson's accomplice and the man who killed Johnson managed to get away. (4) Somehow, in the presence of dozens of reporters, not a single photograph emerged publicly of the young female accomplice of Johnson as she fled the scene, nor the Mafia Associate who killed her accomplice.
The shooting of a Mafia Godfather in the heart of Manhattan would become an obsession with the Media - and law enforcement - for many years. History would repeat itself 14 years later when Gambino Family Godfather Paul Castellano was gunned down outside Manhattan's Spark's Steak House. During the investigation of both of these shootings, the New York City Police Department was under enormous public pressure to solve these crimes. From the outset, the NYPD branded the shooting of Colombo a "hit" orchestrated by the Mafia. Carlo Gambino, Joe Gallo, and Carmine Persico, a rising star in the Colombo Family, were all taken in for questioning by the cops, as was a Mob-connected pornographer, Michael Umbers. (5)
FBI Informant Greg Scarpa, a hitman and drug dealer for the Colombo Family, who witnessed the shooting of his crime Boss from just a few feet away, also contributed his information to the FBI, as revealed by FBI “302” Documents later obtained by Forensic Intelligence Analyst Angela Clemente through her Freedom of Information Act lawsuits. One such FBI document reveals that on June 6, 1971, 2 weeks before Colombo was shot, Scarpa told the FBI that he had met with Godfather Colombo, who informed him that his personal security team had detected a car inhabited by several African-Americans surveilling his house recently in the early morning hours. Colombo assumed that these men were associates of “Crazy Joe” Gallo, whom had befriended a number of African-American inmates while imprisoned and was now free, and by his own statements and actions hostile towards Godfather Colombo.
During the investigation into Colombo's shooting, then Chief of Detectives of the NYPD Albert Seedman uncovered evidence that Jerome Johnson was not only involved with members of the American Mafia, but also with members of a domestic terrorist organization that went by the name of the Black Liberation Army. This group, an offshoot of the Black Panthers organization, had, before the shooting of Godfather Colombo, embarked upon a campaign of assassinating Police Officers nationwide that would continue into 1981.
Thus, there were 3 likely scenarios as to whom the inhabitants of that car monitoring Colombo were; 1. former prison associates of Joe Gallo; 2. members of the BLA; or, 3. associates of both Joe Gallo AND the BLA.
What first intrigued the Detectives investigating Colombo's shooting was Johnson's connections to the shadowy world of gay pornography in New York as it existed at that time. It was an era in which even the hint of gay behavior could destroy a public person's career. A retail establishment which gays could patronize openly existed in very few places across America during that time. In New York City, however, the large numbers of gays presented a profit potential that the American Mafia simply could not afford to ignore.
Virtually all of the bars, restaurants, bookstores, and sex clubs that catered to a gay clientele during that time were Mob controlled. That created another problem for gay men; the potential for blackmail. Certain men, in certain professions, possessed the ability to perform certain services which the Mafia could exploit. Compromised doctors, for example, could provide medical services to a mob figure who had a bullet in his body but for obvious reasons did not want to check into a local hospital for it's removal. Compromised Undertakers could help mobsters when faced with the untidy problem of how to dispose of a dead body. Closeted traders on Wall Street could proffer invaluable assistance in "insider trading" and stolen securities scams. Compromised members of law enforcement could provide invaluable "insider information" about law enforcement scrutiny of the Mob.
Thus, those gay establishments run by the American Mafia were populated with Informants who could profile, identify, and compromise such men to be used as tools of organized crime. This was the world from which Jerome A. Johnson emerged to shoot a Mafia Godfather, and this world is best described by the life story of one man; Ed "Skull" Murphy.
Murphy had been born in Manhattan's Greenwich Village to Italian and Irish parents. Much of Murphy's youth was spent in the robbing of Dentist's offices for the bounty to be found in the gold that was used to make gold teeth. When Murphy was finally caught, he spent 10 years in prison. Once free, Murphy accelerated the body building habit he had acquired in prison by using anabolic steroids to bulk up. This allowed Murphy, still a young man, to enter the world of "professional wrestling." Such a "sport" existed on the fringes of the American Mafia. Although steroids were not illegal at that time, the drugs were an integral part of operations run by three syndicates in New York that today are known as the Colombo, Gambino, and Genovese Families. These Families would provide steroids to young body builders, and such men could then be exploited into a number of sidelines; work as bodyguards for mobsters, bouncers at bars, the world of professional wrestling, professional prostitution, and the production of X-rated films. The Colombo Family were masters of these rackets, and would eventually change the adult entertainment business forever with their production of the movie "Deep Throat," which would rake in millions of dollars for the Family. The fight over the profits of that movie within the Family led to a shoot-out that killed 2 people, including an innocent bystander, a retired Nun. (6)
The October 8, 1967 edition of the New York Times noted that suburban Long Island was the area inhabited by many such mobsters, among them the Colombo's Sonny Franzese, who was reported to be among many such organized crime figures who ran gay bars throughout the New York area and that such operations included a lucrative side-line involving the blackmail of wealthy or prominent patrons.
By the time of the publication of that story, Ed Murphy had already been arrested as the ringleader of a Mafia-run gay blackmail ring broken up by State prosecutors in Manhattan. Over a dozen such men had been Indicted who were part of a nationwide blackmail syndicate that netted over a million dollars a year. This is how the scam worked; a man would travel to a large city, such as New York, where he would procure the services of a male prostitute. Many of the prostitutes were teen-agers. The prostitute could be solicited at a gay bar, a convention center, or in the bar of an airport. Another venue was through the corrupt auspices of a Concierge at certain hotels. Once the blackmail victim and the teen-aged-boy were alone in the hotel room, one of either two scenarios would be enacted; either the boy would steal the John's wallet and run out of the hotel, or the "Hotel Detective" would burst in and demand cash in exchange for not arresting the visiting man. In the plan where the wallet would be stolen, the wallet would then be turned over to the Mob ring, who, with their corrupt co-horts in law enforcement, would compile information on their new victim. If the "John" was rich or famous or from a prominent family, two "members of law enforcement" would then travel to that person's home and threaten that person with public exposure - even arrest - unless money was forked over to make the case "go away."
After the existence of the blackmail ring became public in a February 18, 1966 New York Times story, the FBI moved in on the investigations, the predication being that many of those involved crossed State lines in order to commit their crimes. Almost all of the high-ranking members of the blackmail ring were thus convicted, such as John J. Pyne, a retired Chicago police officer, and John Fellenbaum, a bodybuilder from Pennsylvania. Ed Murphy was identified in that Times article as one of the ringleaders. His name, however, did not appear in any subsequent stories. At that time, Murphy faced decades in prison on both Federal and State charges. Yet, Murphy only received 5 years Probation for his Federal Extortion charge. Murphy would be protected by the FBI for the rest of his life, in exchange for providing them information they coveted.
Among the names Murphy gave up as victims of the extortion ring were that of a Congressman from New Jersey who paid them $25,000 in hush money, and Admiral William Church, the head of the New York Naval Yards in Brooklyn. As a result of the Grand Jury convened to investigate the evidence Ed Murphy had turned over, Admiral Church was then Subpoenaed to testify. At that point the Admiral drove to a motel in Maryland and shot a bullet into his head. (7)
Thus, Hoover's recruitment of men such as Ed Murphy was not designed to put an end to his blackmail of gay men, but rather to provide information that Hoover might need to utilize for his own purposes. Such was the man J. Edgar Hoover, his successors as Director - and his Bureau, - that would protect pedophiles such as Ed Murphy, and later, Whitey Bulger, and Jeffrey Epstein, among others.
Beginning in the 1960s and throughout the 1970s, Ed Murphy and Mike Umbers ran a prostitution ring that pimped underage boys to wealthy pedophiles. Murphy and Umbers both were associated with the Genovese and Gambino Mafia Families. A December 23, 1971 story by the Village Voice revealed that Umbers and two accomplices had previously been arrested on child pornography charges.
Also that year, NYPD Chief of Detectives Albert Seedman told the Media that Umbers was the link between Jerome Johnson and the Mafia. Johnson had last been residing in an apartment above Christopher's End, the bar managed by Umbers, and owned by Paul DiBella, a member of the Gambino Family. Umbers had used Johnson's skills as a camera man in their production of child pornography. (5) Umbers would eventually receive notoriety for his role in the botched New York bank robbery that was depicted in the Hollywood motion picture "Dog Day Afternoon."
Ed Murphy was the Bouncer at the Mafia-run gay bar the Stonewall Inn, adjacent to Umber's Christopher's End next door on Christopher Street. On the evening of June 28, 1969, when the NYPD, as it had often done in the past, raided the Stonewall Inn, the patrons of the bar fought back, culminating in riots that lasted for several days. Chanting "Get the Cops and the Mafia Out of Gay Bars," the unrest forever changed America.
Ed Murphy died in 1989 due to AIDS. In addition to the NYPD's investigation of Jerome Johnson's involvement in the gay porn industry, of which Murphy was involved, the NYPD also pursued evidence that Johnson was also associated with the BLA. Two months prior to the shooting of Godfather Colombo, on April 6, 1971, a member of the BLA, JoAnne Chesimard, knocked upon the door of a room at the Statler Hilton Hotel in Manhattan, intending to rob the occupant. The intended victim, however fought back, and Chesimard received a bullet wound from her own gun to her abdomen. (8)
6 weeks later, members of the BLA opened fire with a machine gun on two Police Officers guarding the home of the Manhattan District Attorney, Frank Hogan. Both officers, Thomas Curry and Nicholas Binetti, were wounded for the rest of their lives. 2 days later, the gang executed NYPD Officers Waverly Jones and Joseph Piagentini outside a public housing building in Harlem. One month later, Jerome Johnson and his female accomplice carried out the shooting of Godfather Colombo.
Two months later, 3 members of the BLA burst into a police station in San Francisco and gunned down Sgt. John Victor Young as he sat at his desk. On November 3rd, 1971, 3 associates of the BLA executed Atlanta Police Officer James R. Greene as he serviced his patrol vehicle at a gas station. (9) On December 20th of that year, the gang attempted to murder 2 NYPD cops by throwing a hand grenade under their patrol car. Their car was demolished, but the cops survived. (10)
On January 27, 1972, the BLA executed 2 more NYPD cops, Rocco Laurie and Gregory Foster. These two Police Officers were shot in their backs with a machine gun. The BLA was a racist organization that did not believe that Blacks should associate with Whites. Officers Laurie and Foster were targeted because one was Black and the other White. Both had bonded as young men while serving in the United States Marine Corps in VietNam. Once home, they both applied for acceptance as members of the NYPD. They were accepted, and later made Partners, as an intentional means by the NYPD to promote better relations between Officers of diverse backgrounds. (11)
A few weeks later, several members of the BLA, including Joanne Chesimard and her then-lover Fred Hilton, got into a confrontation with the St. Louis Police, during which BLA member Ronald Carter was killed.
Fred Hilton would later be arrested in 2001 on charges he raped a 12-year-old girl. (12) Hilton later changed his name to the Marxist moniker Kamau Sadiki; Joanne Chesimard later changed her name to Assata Shakur. In November, 2003, Kamau Sadiki was sentenced to Life imprisonment after his conviction for the murder of Atlanta Police Officer James Green. (13)
On May 2, 1973, the BLA murdered New Jersey State Trooper Werner Foerster. This event began when New Jersey State Trooper James Harper pulled a car over for a traffic violation, and was joined by Trooper Foerster in another patrol car. A gunfight ensued, and when it was over, Trooper Foerster and a BLA member were dead; JoAnne Chesimard and Trooper Harper were wounded. Chesimard was eventually convicted for the murder of Trooper Foerster, but escaped from prison in 1979 with the help of the BLA. BLA members and their associates in the Communist community then facilitated Chesimard's travel to Cuba, where she has been granted asylum to this very day.
Such was the carnage of violence by criminals of various motives during the 1960s and 1970s. The investigations by the NYPD of the BLA, the American Mafia, as well as Manhattan's gay pornography industry thus intersected in one man; Jerome Johnson, who dared to shoot Godfather Colombo before thousands of people.
Among those who witnessed this shooting was Mafia hitman and drug dealer Greg Scarpa, who led a double life as an FBI Informant.

Buffalo Cops—And All the Other Cops
by BRUCE JACKSON
Buffalo I
Everybody knows about the second of two violent police attacks on peaceful citizens in Buffalo last week.
On June 4, two members of the Buffalo Police Department Emergency Response Team knocked 75-year-old Martin Gugino to the ground in front of the city hall steps. They were clearing the area of demonstrators, even though city hall had, at that point, been closed for four hours, there were only a few demonstrators, and they weren’t doing anything but standing there.
When he was shoved to the ground, Gugino was just trying to talk to them. He had a helmet in his left hand, a cell phone in his right. After he hit the ground, with blood streaming from his right ear, a policeman went to help him, but a superior officer pushed him away. The line of police moved on, leaving Gugino unconscious on

PART TWO: ED “SKULL” MURPHY AND THE FBI
The FBI's protection of Ed Murphy began many years before their protection of James “Whitey” Bulger and Jeffrey Epstein, but it is essentially the same story. Murphy was also a pedophile who preyed upon vulnerable youths whom were teenagers. His victims were young boys.
First, he sexually assaulted these boys, plying them with illegal drugs. Once under his sexual and financial control, Murphy then pimped these boys out to rich and prominent closeted gay men, many of whom he then extorted from significant amounts of cash and commodities as blackmail.
Like Whitey Bulger, Murphy was sent to prison for several years as a young man and when he got out he vowed to never go back, even though he was committed to his profession; that of a career criminal. Like Bulger after him, Murphy found that he could be protected from Prosecution by serving the FBI as their Informant. Also, like Bulger, Murphy would perpetuate the false narrative that he was some sort of “folk hero” within his own community.
In Bulger's case, it was the Boston Globe that would expose him as an FBI Informant in their landmark 1988 Feature story. Murphy's double-dealing was outed by the Village Voice in their landmark 1978 Cover Story: “Skull” Murphy: The Gay Double Agent.” (1) Subsequently, numerous books and Media accounts would reveal Murphy's one claim to fame; his work as a Bouncer at Manhattan's Stonewall Inn, on the night of the riot that marked the birth of America's gay rights movement. And, the substantial evidence of Murphy's recruitment and work as an FBI Informant. (2)
The investigations of Ed Murphy by the Media and law enforcement escalated regarding a notorious American Mafia crime committed in broad daylight in Manhattan in 1971. The man who committed this crime had organized crime connections that led investigators to Ed Murphy and his associates, who were also involved with the American Mafia. And, there were 2 men there that day that witnessed this crime whom are now known to have been FBI Informants. One of them was Greg Scarpa, a hitman for the Colombo Mafia Family whom had secretly worked for the FBI since 1960. (3) The man targeted that day for assassination was Scarpa's “other Boss,” the Godfather of the Mafia Family to this very day known by his name; Colombo; Joe Colombo.
The date was June 28, 1971; the location, Columbus Circle in Manhattan. It was Colombo's Second “Italian Unity Day” celebration for his “Italian-American Civil Rights League,” an organization he had created the year previous that perpetuated the false narrative that there was no such thing as the American Mafia. As preposterous as that narrative was, it had actually for many years been championed by the Founding Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, J. Edgar Hoover. Hoover was forced to drop this false narrative when Bobby Kennedy became his “Boss” as Attorney General of the United States.
Godfather Colombo's movement caught on quickly; 50,000 people would jam into Columbus Circle on June 29, 1970, at the League's first public Rally. In November of that year, Frank Sinatra was among many celebrities who appeared in a benefit for the League held at Madison Square Garden. Law enforcement agencies have consistently revealed in the past decades that far less than one percent of Italian-Americans are involved in organized crime. The same can be said for Irish-Americans.
That being said, many of the members of these two ethnic groups have perceived that they have been stereotyped by the Media and the Hollywood entertainment industry. Colombo, like Whitey Bulger after him, seized upon the frustration held by many law-abiding American citizens among these respective ethnic communities. Colombo's and Bulger's Message had validity; they were just the wrong Messengers, who exploited it to their own advantage.
At Colombo's second Rally in 1971, in attendance were numerous members of the Media, some armed with cameras, members of the New York City Police Department, Agents of the FBI, members of several New York Mafia Families, and other criminals. One such was Jerome A. Johnson, a young African-American from New Jersey, accompanied by a young African-American female. Adorned with fake Press credentials, nothing seemed out of the ordinary as Johnson followed Godfather Colombo around with his film camera, along with his assistant. Then, the young woman, as if on cue, called out a greeting to the Godfather. Colombo turned to face her. Johnson now held in his hands both a camera and a gun, which may have been secreted to him by his female accomplice. He then opened fire on Colombo at close range. Several Mafia members then jumped upon Johnson, one of them pumping three bullets into the assassin's back. Despite the presence of dozens of cops, both Johnson's accomplice and the man who killed Johnson managed to get away. (4) Somehow, in the presence of dozens of reporters, not a single photograph emerged publicly of the young female accomplice of Johnson as she fled the scene, nor the Mafia Associate who killed her accomplice.
The shooting of a Mafia Godfather in the heart of Manhattan would become an obsession with the Media - and law enforcement - for many years. History would repeat itself 14 years later when Gambino Family Godfather Paul Castellano was gunned down outside Manhattan's Spark's Steak House. During the investigation of both of these shootings, the New York City Police Department was under enormous public pressure to solve these crimes. From the outset, the NYPD branded the shooting of Colombo a "hit" orchestrated by the Mafia. Carlo Gambino, Joe Gallo, and Carmine Persico, a rising star in the Colombo Family, were all taken in for questioning by the cops, as was a Mob-connected pornographer, Michael Umbers. (5)
FBI Informant Greg Scarpa, a hitman and drug dealer for the Colombo Family, who witnessed the shooting of his crime Boss from just a few feet away, also contributed his information to the FBI, as revealed by FBI “302” Documents later obtained by Forensic Intelligence Analyst Angela Clemente through her Freedom of Information Act lawsuits. One such FBI document reveals that on June 6, 1971, 2 weeks before Colombo was shot, Scarpa told the FBI that he had met with Godfather Colombo, who informed him that his personal security team had detected a car inhabited by several African-Americans surveilling his house recently in the early morning hours. Colombo assumed that these men were associates of “Crazy Joe” Gallo, whom had befriended a number of African-American inmates while imprisoned and was now free, and by his own statements and actions hostile towards Godfather Colombo.
During the investigation into Colombo's shooting, then Chief of Detectives of the NYPD Albert Seedman uncovered evidence that Jerome Johnson was not only involved with members of the American Mafia, but also with members of a domestic terrorist organization that went by the name of the Black Liberation Army. This group, an offshoot of the Black Panthers organization, had, before the shooting of Godfather Colombo, embarked upon a campaign of assassinating Police Officers nationwide that would continue into 1981.
Thus, there were 3 likely scenarios as to whom the inhabitants of that car monitoring Colombo were; 1. former prison associates of Joe Gallo; 2. members of the BLA; or, 3. associates of both Joe Gallo AND the BLA.
What first intrigued the Detectives investigating Colombo's shooting was Johnson's connections to the shadowy world of gay pornography in New York as it existed at that time. It was an era in which even the hint of gay behavior could destroy a public person's career. A retail establishment which gays could patronize openly existed in very few places across America during that time. In New York City, however, the large numbers of gays presented a profit potential that the American Mafia simply could not afford to ignore.
Virtually all of the bars, restaurants, bookstores, and sex clubs that catered to a gay clientele during that time were Mob controlled. That created another problem for gay men; the potential for blackmail. Certain men, in certain professions, possessed the ability to perform certain services which the Mafia could exploit. Compromised doctors, for example, could provide medical services to a mob figure who had a bullet in his body but for obvious reasons did not want to check into a local hospital for it's removal. Compromised Undertakers could help mobsters when faced with the untidy problem of how to dispose of a dead body. Closeted traders on Wall Street could proffer invaluable assistance in "insider trading" and stolen securities scams. Compromised members of law enforcement could provide invaluable "insider information" about law enforcement scrutiny of the Mob.
Thus, those gay establishments run by the American Mafia were populated with Informants who could profile, identify, and compromise such men to be used as tools of organized crime. This was the world from which Jerome A. Johnson emerged to shoot a Mafia Godfather, and this world is best described by the life story of one man; Ed "Skull" Murphy.
Murphy had been born in Manhattan's Greenwich Village to Italian and Irish parents. Much of Murphy's youth was spent in the robbing of Dentist's offices for the bounty to be found in the gold that was used to make gold teeth. When Murphy was finally caught, he spent 10 years in prison. Once free, Murphy accelerated the body building habit he had acquired in prison by using anabolic steroids to bulk up. This allowed Murphy, still a young man, to enter the world of "professional wrestling." Such a "sport" existed on the fringes of the American Mafia. Although steroids were not illegal at that time, the drugs were an integral part of operations run by three syndicates in New York that today are known as the Colombo, Gambino, and Genovese Families. These Families would provide steroids to young body builders, and such men could then be exploited into a number of sidelines; work as bodyguards for mobsters, bouncers at bars, the world of professional wrestling, professional prostitution, and the production of X-rated films. The Colombo Family were masters of these rackets, and would eventually change the adult entertainment business forever with their production of the movie "Deep Throat," which would rake in millions of dollars for the Family. The fight over the profits of that movie within the Family led to a shoot-out that killed 2 people, including an innocent bystander, a retired Nun. (6)

By the time of the publication of that story, Ed Murphy had already been arrested as the ringleader of a Mafia-run gay blackmail ring broken up by State prosecutors in Manhattan. Over a dozen such men had been Indicted who were part of a nationwide blackmail syndicate that netted over a million dollars a year. This is how the scam worked; a man would travel to a large city, such as New York, where he would procure the services of a male prostitute. Many of the prostitutes were teen-agers. The prostitute could be solicited at a gay bar, a convention center, or in the bar of an airport. Another venue was through the corrupt auspices of a Concierge at certain hotels. Once the blackmail victim and the teen-aged-boy were alone in the hotel room, one of either two scenarios would be enacted; either the boy would steal the John's wallet and run out of the hotel, or the "Hotel Detective" would burst in and demand cash in exchange for not arresting the visiting man.

Such was the carnage of violence by criminals of various motives during the 1960s and 1970s. The investigations by the NYPD of the BLA, the American Mafia, as well as Manhattan's gay pornography industry thus intersected in one man; Jerome Johnson, who dared to shoot Godfather Colombo before thousands of people.
Among those who witnessed this shooting was Mafia hitman and drug dealer Greg Scarpa, who led a double life as an FBI Informant.

A Short History of Election Fraud
By Daniel Hopsicker -

AN OPEN MEMO TO SEAN HANNITY
It’s not like I’m not sympathetic to the notion that elections can be stolen. It’s just that the people talking about it are such @#$!%&! parvenus.
All week on FOX Sean Hannity said he just wanted to see an honest election where every vote gets counted. Sounds reasonable.
Except, Sean, respectfully: why start now?
Election fraud is like herpes. It’s been around a long time.
Allegations of election fraud have been around forever. Election rigging is an open secret: Everybody knows about it. Donald Trump has been holding it as a trump card since last Spring. Even you know about it, Sean. I mean, you’ve been around, right? This isn’t your first rodeo.
Election companies like Dominion Voting Systems have been steeped in graft, scandal and corruption since Dwight David Eisenhower was in knee pants.
Most people like to think their sacred vote is being cast and tabulated under the watchful eye of guys in white lab coats with pocket protectors.
Some of us—maybe you and me, Sean— understand it’s not really like that. We can face things straight up.
I mean, you’re not—perish the thought—like Chuck @#$!%&! Todd, are you? At least you don’t have those ridiculous hair plugs that look like they trying to wriggle their way off his scalp.
NBC Political Director Todd made it perfectly clear in 2016 that he doesn’t give a rat’s @#$ who owns the companies that counted the votes, as long as they were mostly for Hillary. But that’s another story.
So, Sean, let me help you redeem the American mainstream media. Because I could use a little revenge. So I’m going to give you the shot. What you do with it is totally on you. Who knows? Something may come of it.
Because when it comes to election fraud, I have the same goal Gary Webb did about CIA drug trafficking. He told me that he just wanted to able to say that he’d helped to drag the dead body out from underneath the bed just a few more inches.
Take my word for it. You need the help! Because Rudy Guiliani has already lost sight of the reservation he wasn’t really on to begin with.
OMG Rudy! Who told you about SMARTMATIC?
Did somebody call “Bring Out Your Dead?”
Giuliani just tweeted, “Look up SMARTMATIC and tweet me what you think? It will all come out.”
And then when I turned on FOX there was some batshit crazy woman lawyer—you know the one I’m talking about, Sean? And she was dishing about the long-range plans by Hugo Chavez and Dominion Voting Systems to subvert democracy in America!
Sean, I hate to tell you, but…Hugo Chavez is already dead. Still dead, just like Franco.
So even if he was a Communist, there’s no need to go kill him again.
Besides, when I tell you the real story of SMARTMATIC, which is vastly more entertaining than anything you’ll hear from Rudy, you won’t go down that ridiculous dry hole.
No vote fraud? Be of good cheer! There’s election fraud.
But first things first: There’s no such thing as voter fraud. Maybe a handful of amateurs. Because the retail worth of voter fraud, with 150 million people casting ballots is NADA. But don’t be discouraged. Because there is plenty of election fraud. Wholesale fraud is pretty lucrative.
The quick skinny on Dominion
I know a thing or two about the company you’re interested in, Sean: Dominion Voting Systems.
Two days before the Democratic primary in California in 2016, I wrote, “If the 2016 Democratic primary in California is rigged, it’s ‘‘the boys’ from one company—Sequoia Pacific nee Dominion Voting Systems–who’ll be charged with making it happen.”
The headline was “CALIFORNIA SIGALERT!”
“Be on lookout for late-model black SUV with illegally-tinted windows, and a million votes tied up in the trunk.”
So here’s the quick skinny: Founded in 2003 in Toronto, Dominion Voting Systems is privately owned. Meaning… it’s basically none of your business.
If pressed, Dominion will grudgingly tell you the company is managed by its management team (natch!), and owned by a New York-based private equity firm called Staple Street Capital Management.
In addition to Dominion, State Street own Six Flags, a self-storage company, an after-market electronic equipment company, and an essential oils manufacturer.
But there’s no need to worry about Staple Street Capital. Dominion is just “parked” there, in their blandly safe and anonymous hands.
I hope you weren’t expecting to discover Dominion’s true owner was really a company called Lucifer Holdings LLC. The last time an election company got caught with its hand in that particular “inconvenient owner” cookie jar was in 2004.
The presidential election that year was decided in Ohio, whose votes were counted by Diebold Industries, which just happened to be owned at the time by some ever-so-slightly-too-enthusiastic supporters of President George W. Bush.
It left a bad taste. So, what happened? Well, it’s curious. Maybe just a coincidence? Or maybe it’s just one of those things.
Because a few years later, a previously unknown private company in Toronto—Dominion Voting Systems, that’s your company, right, Sean?—stepped in and bought Sequoia Voting Systems. Incidentally, the company claims to be the oldest American election company, founded in 1898 in Jamestown, New York.
But because this is a “short history” of election fraud, I’ll try not to dwell on the company’s completely sordid past.
But it fills volumes.
But wait! There’s more!
Shortly after the Diebold acquisition, Dominion Voting Systems bought the assets of America’s third largest election company, Diebold in Ohio. George W Bush’s big backers back in 2004.
Wow. Dominion Voting Systems now owned the two dirtiest election companies in America. They’d stepped in the $#!% big-time. It’s almost like they did it on purpose.
Do you know what that means, Sean?
It means that America’s biggest election company, E S & S, Election Service & Software, of Omaha Nebraska—which has temporarily been keeping its nose clean—is perfectly positioned to step in and play the white knight.
And believe me: E S & S is anything but a white knight.
E S & S is about to pick up Dominion’s biggest customers and juiciest contracts. Then the government—meaning, usually, the individual secretaries of state—will be able to say, “Boy we sure blew that election! But did I clean house? Gimme four more years!”
See, what election services companies do—besides every so often fitfully count votes—is distribute the graft. Executives and managers from the largest American election service companies have been convicted of bribery and suborning public officials in more than a dozen states. There’s not an election company out there that hasn’t been convicted of enough felonies to make the most hardened criminal blush.
But, convicted felons, take heart! While a felony conviction may be enough to disqualify you from voting in places like Florida…Even multiple felony convictions in no way disqualifies you from counting the votes.
Is this a great country, or what!
A word is born
If it turns out there’s some kind of “cover-up” of the true ownership of Dominion Voting Systems, it would be pretty ironic.
That’s because the very word “cover-up” was first coined in a conversation involving a previous owner of Sequoia Pacific/Dominion Voting. His name was Louis Wolfson, and he was a convicted felon.
According to now-deceased New York Times wordsmith William Safire, the word “cover-up” was first used in a conversation between Wolfson and a man he’d been bribing, which, remember, is a key function of election companies, along with, you know, counting votes.
Felon Louis Wolfson didn’t coin the term. Instead, it was the man he’d been bribing who invented it, presumably at the instant of need, as he was getting pretty desperate.
His name was Abe Fortas, and he was a Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States of America.
But not for long. Fortas became the first Supreme Court Justice ever removed from the Court, convicted of taking bribes, because the man he was talking with, Wolfson, was wearing a wire.
At the time, Wolfson was— in criminal parlance— trying to ‘work off a beef.’
And this is where I came in
Thirty years later, Louis Wolfson’s company, now called Sequoia Pacific, was responsible for the Great Florida Vote Snafu. Remember hanging chad? These are those guys.
If FOX viewers today… knew that the election company counting a lot of their votes—Dominion Voting Systems—caused the Florida Vote Snafu in 2000, would viewers have less confidence in American elections?
Maybe. But remember that Sequoia Pacific/Dominion Voting Systems hanging chad put Republican George W. Bush in the White House. Waiting till your boy has lost before complaining about it smacks of rank hypocrisy.
The Big Fix 2000: Watch it on Amazon Prime
Twenty years ago I did a documentary called “The Big Fix 2000” on a subject that had never been covered before. Instead of profiling ways election machines can be hacked—there were already plenty of documentaries about that—I decided to investigate the ownership of the two companies that—then and now—dominate the American election industry.
I traveled to Ireland to find the man whose election company made George W Bush America’s president.
His name was Dr. Michael Smurfit, Ireland’s richest multimillionaire. He got his start as a bagman for David Rockefeller, an Irish private detective told me. And he hung out at racetracks in Switzerland with Zurich currency speculators.
Election companies are owned by New Jersey Mobsters, by international gamblers, Zurich currency manipulators, Bahamian resort owners, and supra-national financiers.
Their companies have untraceable shareholders, and numbered bank accounts in Switzerland and the Channel Islands. Their corporate documents are often signed by fictitious nominees. And they are routinely involved in systemic bribery of public officials, like the Prime Minister of Ireland.
You’ve probably figured out that this is a ‘problem” that won’t get fixed anytime soon. And you’d be right.
Hey Rudy: “A little knowledge is a dangerous thing”
Finally, that company Rudy Guiliani is going on about? SMARTMATIC?
Back in 2006, the U.S. government began an investigation of SMARTMATIC— which had been linked to the leftist government of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez—because they’d just bought Sequoia Pacific, a company which moves around a lot.
An American Congresswoman called into question the national security implications involved in the sale of an American election services company to a Venezuelan software firm, SMARTMATIC.
Of course, it wasn’t really Venezuelan. Not exactly, anyway…
SMARTMATIC was actually owned by a trust in Amsterdam. Not exactly, though…
Because the trust in Amsterdam was itself owned…by a company in the Netherlands Antilles, but not exactly…
Because the company in the Netherland Antilles was owned by a private foundation in Geneva, Switzerland.
In America’s hugely compromised election industry, this is business as usual. Yet somehow this fact completely escapes scrutiny every four years.in the mainstream media, except for that brief brouhaha beca

Thirty years later, Louis Wolfson’s company, now called Sequoia Pacific, was responsible for the Great Florida Vote Snafu. Remember hanging chad? These are those guys.
If FOX viewers today… knew that the election company counting a lot of their votes—Dominion Voting Systems—caused the Florida Vote Snafu in 2000, would viewers have less confidence in American elections?
Maybe. But remember that Sequoia Pacific/Dominion Voting Systems hanging chad put Republican George W. Bush in the White House. Waiting till your boy has lost before complaining about it smacks of rank hypocrisy.
The Big Fix 2000: Watch it on Amazon Prime
Twenty years ago I did a documentary called “The Big Fix 2000” on a subject that had never been covered before. Instead of profiling ways election machines can be hacked—there were already plenty of documentaries about that—I decided to investigate the ownership of the two companies that—then and now—dominate the American election industry.
I traveled to Ireland to find the man whose election company made George W Bush America’s president.
His name was Dr. Michael Smurfit, Ireland’s richest multimillionaire. He got his start as a bagman for David Rockefeller, an Irish private detective told me. And he hung out at racetracks in Switzerland with Zurich currency speculators.
Election companies are owned by New Jersey Mobsters, by international gamblers, Zurich currency manipulators, Bahamian resort owners, and supra-national financiers.
Their companies have untraceable shareholders, and numbered bank accounts in Switzerland and the Channel Islands. Their corporate documents are often signed by fictitious nominees. And they are routinely involved in systemic bribery of public officials, like the Prime Minister of Ireland.
You’ve probably figured out that this is a ‘problem” that won’t get fixed anytime soon. And you’d be right.
Hey Rudy: “A little knowledge is a dangerous thing”
Finally, that company Rudy Guiliani is going on about? SMARTMATIC?
Back in 2006, the U.S. government began an investigation of SMARTMATIC— which had been linked to the leftist government of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez—because they’d just bought Sequoia Pacific, a company which moves around a lot.
An American Congresswoman called into question the national security implications involved in the sale of an American election services company to a Venezuelan software firm, SMARTMATIC.
Of course, it wasn’t really Venezuelan. Not exactly, anyway…
SMARTMATIC was actually owned by a trust in Amsterdam. Not exactly, though…
Because the trust in Amsterdam was itself owned…by a company in the Netherlands Antilles, but not exactly…
Because the company in the Netherland Antilles was owned by a private foundation in Geneva, Switzerland.
In America’s hugely compromised election industry, this is business as usual. Yet somehow this fact completely escapes scrutiny every four years.in the mainstream media, except for that brief brouhaha beca

Audit of the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Controls over Weapons, Munitions, and Explosives
Lost and Stolen Firearms – We noted that between September 2016 and July 2019, 38 FBI Special Agents were disciplined for the loss or theft of 45 FBI-issued firearms. The FBI suspended 37 and dismissed 1 of the Special Agents held responsible for the loss or theft. Of the 45 lost or stolen firearms, 24 have been recovered, 1 of which was used in a crime. We also found that the FBI did not maintain complete documentation for 8 of the 45 lost or stolen firearms, including its make, model, or serial number; and a stolen firearm that was subsequently recovered more than 1 year ago was still marked as lost or stolen in AMS.

Biden to Pick Former Corporate Lobbyist Jaime Harrison for DNC Chair
President-elect Biden will name Jaime Harrison as his pick for chair of the Democratic National Committee (DNC), according to reports Thursday morning. Harrison, whose name had been floated in the press as the likeliest favorite of the Biden-Harris campaign for chair, was recently a U.S. Senate candidate in South Carolina. From 2008 to November 2016, Harrison was a principal at corporate lobbying firm the Podesta Group, where his clients included some of the Hill’s top spenders on lobbying. Harrison’s biography on the DNC website describes this period as, “After a few years working in the private sector, Jaime took on his current role as associate chair and counsel of the Democratic National Committee.”
Harrison’s past lobbying clients included Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Wells Fargo, BP America, Bank of America, and many others, according to lobbying disclosures. Harrison had previously worked as floor director and counsel for Rep. James Clyburn (D-S.C.) from 2003 to 2006, before Clyburn became House majority whip in 2007, and he is said to have been put forward for chair in part through Clyburn’s crucial support of Biden’s presidential bid.
With the Podesta Group, Harrison specifically lobbied his former colleagues in the House Majority Whip’s office for each of those large corporate clients: Boeing, when the company was lobbying on the defense funding bill; Lockheed, when the contractor was also lobbying on defense appropriations; Wells Fargo, when the bank was lobbying on the Dodd-Frank financial reform bill; BP America, when the oil giant was lobbying on a clean energy bill that aimed to reduce global warming; Bank of America, when the company was lobbying on patent reform and derivatives market transparency; and the American Coalition for Clean Coal Energy, when the group was lobbying on renewables and other clean energy topics.

Anne Schuchat, MD resigning as principal deputy director of CDC/
I do not know how the CDC operates. But I have been watching Anne Schuchat for over 20 years, since she was chosen to provide CDC's testimony to Congress about the anthrax vaccine. She is quick on her feet, she is a good liar, she is now the highest career official at CDC, and she probably controls a great deal of what goes on there.
When Rochelle Walensky wrote a NY Times opinion piece about the fact that she would not lie to the public, she mentioned Anne Schuchat. And I wondered then if the opinion piece was Schuchat's idea. It was a gratuitous stab at Trump, but it was also making a promise that CDC was unlikely to keep. And I wondered if Schuchat was setting up Walensky to fail. Because CDC always lies to the public. Just go to their website and see if you can find a single statistic that was not "modelled;" well, there are a few. But mostly you cannot get a straight answer about anything from this agency. Nor have they competently managed a single crisis, such as the 1976 and 2009 Swine flu, Ebola, Zika and SARS-2 pandemics. [The 1976 pandemic didn't even happen, but they vaccinated against it anyway.]
In the 4 short months that Walensky has directed CDC, she has regularly stepped in dog doo. She spouts her CDC talking points as earnestly as she can, and then they turn out to be wrong. The latest was the change in masking guidance over the past few days. Walensky was asked on the talk shows this weekend why she told Congress one thing and 2 days later announced the opposite. The next day, she announced Schuchat's retirement.
I kept wondering, each time Walensky had to eat crow, was Schuchat setting her up? Would Walensky realize it? And today I got my answer.
Nancy Messonier, MD was another political agent masquerading as a doctor at CDC, and her last day was Friday. Walensky did a good job eliminating these two. She may have to look outside the agency, however, if she wants truthful and thoughtful managers, because the CDC culture has been so corrupted.
Of course, all this is guess work. What do I know? But if I was Walensky, I would send Schuchat on a long vacation right now, before she could do any more damage.
Here's an excerpt from Walensky's NYT opinion piece from January 11, which happened to be the peak of the Covid pandemic:

Federal Law Prohibits Mandates of Emergency Use COVID Vaccines, Tests, Masks — 3 Resources You Can Use to Inform Your School or Employer
From Children's Health Defense you can again read about what your rights are under an EUA if you wish to refuse masks, almost all Covid tests, and Covid vaccines--all of which were rolled out using Emergency Use Authorizations--which means they are experimental procedures for which informed consent is necessary. Furthermore, CHD has provided links to three documents which you can use to spell out your rights to an employer or educator who attempts to impose these things on you:
Under federal law, employers and universities cannot legally mandate COVID vaccines because they are unlicensed Emergency Use Authorization products which are, by definition, experimental.

Anne Schuchat, MD resigning as principal deputy director of CDC/
I do not know how the CDC operates. But I have been watching Anne Schuchat for over 20 years, since she was chosen to provide CDC's testimony to Congress about the anthrax vaccine. She is quick on her feet, she is a good liar, she is now the highest career official at CDC, and she probably controls a great deal of what goes on there.
When Rochelle Walensky wrote a NY Times opinion piece about the fact that she would not lie to the public, she mentioned Anne Schuchat. And I wondered then if the opinion piece was Schuchat's idea. It was a gratuitous stab at Trump, but it was also making a promise that CDC was unlikely to keep. And I wondered if Schuchat was setting up Walensky to fail. Because CDC always lies to the public. Just go to their website and see if you can find a single statistic that was not "modelled;" well, there are a few. But mostly you cannot get a straight answer about anything from this agency. Nor have they competently managed a single crisis, such as the 1976 and 2009 Swine flu, Ebola, Zika and SARS-2 pandemics. [The 1976 pandemic didn't even happen, but they vaccinated against it anyway.]
In the 4 short months that Walensky has directed CDC, she has regularly stepped in dog doo. She spouts her CDC talking points as earnestly as she can, and then they turn out to be wrong. The latest was the change in masking guidance over the past few days. Walensky was asked on the talk shows this weekend why she told Congress one thing and 2 days later announced the opposite. The next day, she announced Schuchat's retirement.
I kept wondering, each time Walensky had to eat crow, was Schuchat setting her up? Would Walensky realize it? And today I got my answer.
Nancy Messonier, MD was another political agent masquerading as a doctor at CDC, and her last day was Friday. Walensky did a good job eliminating these two. She may have to look outside the agency, however, if she wants truthful and thoughtful managers, because the CDC culture has been so corrupted.
Of course, all this is guess work. What do I know? But if I was Walensky, I would send Schuchat on a long vacation right now, before she could do any more damage.
Here's an excerpt from Walensky's NYT opinion piece from January 11, which happened to be the peak of the Covid pandemic:

America's Public Health System is Utterly Corrupt/ Paul Craig Roberts
https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2021/0 ... y-corrupt/
A sure sign of a country’s collapse is the open corruption of its public and private institutions. When corruption no longer has to be hidden but can be openly flouted, the values and standards that comprised the country’s soul have eroded away.
Try to find an American institution that is not corrupt. Even when presented with the Covid threat the US public health system could not rise above the greed for profit. Effective cures, such as HCQ and Ivermectin were demonized and in many states prohibited. Most Covid deaths are the result of non-treatment.
Throughout the alleged “Covid Pandemic” regulatory agencies, health bureaucracies, medical associations, state governors, media, and Big Pharma have acted to prevent any alternative to a vaccine.
From day one the emphasis was on the profits from a vaccine. To get people to submit to an experimental and untested vaccine required the absence of cures. To keep the road open only for a vaccine even supplements such as NAC, which has shown effectiveness as both preventative and treatment of Covid, has been challenged by the FDA in its use as a supplement. In response, amazon.com, a major online marketer of dietary supplements removed NAC from its offerings. See this.
The generation of fear was essential to stampeeding people to line up to be vaccinated. The fear was supplemented by threats of inability to travel, to attend sports events, to resume working at one’s job.
Playing Russian Roulette with a COVID-19 Vaccine
A Covid test, known as PCR, was intentionally run at high [amplification threshold] cycles known to result in a very high percentage of false positives. These false positives guaranteed a high infection rate that scared people silly. Economic incentives were used for hospitals to report all deaths as Covid deaths, thus greatly exaggerating Covid’s mortality.
As you might have noticed, last winter had no reporting of flu cases as flu was added to the Covid statistics.
A number of reports have been published that the Covid vaccine does not prevent some vaccinated people from coming down with Covid. Other reports say that vaccinated people become spreaders of Covid. There are also reports of a large number of deaths and injuries from the Covid vaccine. See this.
In order to suppress the facts and keep the Covid vaccine selling, the Center for Disease Control (CDC), which supported running the PCR test at high cycles in order to inflate the number of Covid cases, runs the PCR test at much lower cycles in the case of infected vaccinated people in order to minimize the number of vaccinated people who came down with Covid.
To further create an artificial picture of the vaccine’s effectiveness, asymptomatic and mild infections are excluded from the reporting of vaccinated people who catch Covid. Only vaccinated people who catch Covid who have to be hospitalized or die from Covid are counted among the people who caught Covid despite being vaccinated. However, unvaccinated people with only minor symptoms or false positives from a high cycle PCR test are added to the number of Covid cases. See this.
See this also.
This is obvious and blatant manipulation of statistics in order to scare people about Covid while reassuring them about the vaccine’s effectiveness. Overstating the number of cases among the unvaccinated while simultaneously understating the number of people who caught Covid despite being vaccinated is shameless and protects the contrived picture of the safety and effectiveness of the vaccine.
The falsification of statistics in order to produce massive public fear and the prevention of treatment with known safe and effective cures in order to maximize death rates produced billions of dollars in profits for Big Pharma and associated industries, with Moderna’s CEO topping the list of nine new billionaires made rich from the rollout of Covid vaccines. These billionaires rode to their riches on the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people who died from an enforced lack of treatment —mandated deaths to protect vaccine profits. See this.
Will anything be done about this extraordinary corruption of the American public health system?

Local lawyer wins MLK verdict
* BY DAVID LINTON / SUN CHRONICLE STAFF
ATTLEBORO — Raymond D. Kohlman believes the truth about the 1968 assassination of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is being kept from the American people.
The 55-year-old Attleboro lawyer has investigated matters related to the assassination for about 20 years.
He was one of three lawyers who won a historic verdict last month in which a jury for the first time found someone responsible for a role in the April 4, 1968 assassination.
After a three-week civil trial, a Memphis jury found Loyd Jowers, an ailing 73-year-old man, liable in a wrongful death suit for his role in purportedly hiring a now-deceased Memphis police officer to kill King.

According to Bangor Daily News, a self-described “public information crusader” Angela Clemente sued the U.S. Dept. of Justice in May to release tens of thousands of documents that could detail Jeffrey Epstein’s alleged time as an FBI informant.

If your vaccine doesn't necessarily protect you or me very well, you can't achieve herd immunity and there is no societal justification to mandate the shot, or squeeze the unvaccinated.
Supposedly, CDC just figured this out. More to the point, the media just started reporting on it, mostly because of a leaked set of CDC slides.
