Ex-cop would face federal charges in two cases; three others just in Floyd case.

Leading up to Derek Chauvin's murder trial, Justice Department officials had spent months gathering evidence to indict the ex-Minneapolis police officer on federal police brutality charges, but they feared the publicity frenzy could disrupt the state's case.

So they came up with a contingency plan: If Chauvin were found not guilty on all counts or the case ended in a mistrial, they would arrest him at the courthouse, according to sources familiar with the planning discussions.

The backup plan would not be necessary. On April 20, the jury found Chauvin guilty on all three murder and manslaughter counts, sending him to the state's most secure lockdown facility to await sentencing, and avoiding the riots many feared could engulf the city once again.

COVID nurse explains becoming a whistleblower: 'I recorded them murdering patients'

Erin Maria Olzewski, the whistleblower nurse who made headlines last year documenting "fraud, negligence, and greed" that "led to unnecessary deaths" during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, sat down with LifeSiteNews during the Health & Freedom Conference to share her experience and reflections.

Olzewski revealed how patients who repeatedly tested negative for COVID-19 were being described as "COVID confirmed" in their charts, which triggered a higher compensation from government payouts. She contrasted the treatments that they had provided in Florida to what was happening in New York.
"[In Florida] we treated our patients with hydroxychloroquine, zinc ... sent them home and they were fine." In New York, "they were banning alternative treatments like hydroxychloroquine. The only thing they could do was to put people on ventilators."
At the time, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) provided what some called "perverse incentives" instituted by government COVID-19 relief funding, which awarded significantly more compensation to hospitals should patients be classified as COVID-19 positive ($13,000) or if they are put on a ventilator ($39,000).


Comment: Were monetary incentives (bribes?) the deciding factor in treatment protocols? Were they meant to purvey a particular optic to scare the public? Did other facilities participate in the death-for-dollars scheme? These questions need answers.

Earlier this month, we covered the ruling of a court in Weimar, Germany, that two schools should be prevented - with immediate effect - from forcing their pupils to wear masks, along with imposing social distancing measures and insisting on SARS-CoV-2 rapid tests. The judge said:
"The state legislature regulating this area has gotten far removed from the facts, which has taken on seemingly historic proportions."
It has since been reported that the house, office and car of this judge have been searched by investigators because his ruling is thought to have violated the law. 2020News has the story:
The judge at the Weimar District Court, Christian Dettmar, had his house searched [on Monday]. His office, private premises and car were searched. The judge's cell phone was confiscated by the police. The judge had made a sensational decision on April 8th, 2021, which was very inconvenient for the Government's anti-Covid measures...

The decision... had caused quite a stir. It had been downloaded about two million times from the 2020News website alone. The house search... took place obviously for political reasons.

Shocker: CBS's "85% Biden speech approval" poll quizzed just 169 Republicans out of 1,000 viewers

CBS fake Biden approval rating poll
A stunning CBS poll which claimed 85 percent of Americans embraced Joe Biden's joint address speech last night has turned out to be a fraud, with pollster YouGov surveying just 169 Republicans as part of the broader 943 people polled.

In a stunningly duplicitous story aimed at shoring up the response to Biden's speech, CBS claimed on television and on their website: "Most viewers who tuned in to watch President Biden's speech liked what they heard and came away feeling optimistic about America."

What they didn't tell their viewers, nor readers, is that the poll was wildly biased towards self-identifying "Democrats" and traditionally left-leaning "Independents" and self-described "Moderates".

They polled 510 Democrats, and just 169 Republicans. They added 235 "Independents" to the methodology, which also usually skew left. A further 3 percent were not identified.

Keynote speaker Snowden crashes 'elite' business investment seminar, urges public NOT to give organizer money

Edward Snowden completely derailed an online investment seminar where he was invited to speak about his NSA whistleblower days. He called out the organizer instead, humiliating him in front of his own audience.

Snowden was booked as a keynote speaker at last Saturday's get-rich-quick online conference hosted by the Canadian-based Private Investment Club (PIC), which promotes itself as "the largest elite real estate investment club in North America." The group was founded by Sunil Tulsiani, who is described on PIC's website as a former police detective turned-real estate investor, best-selling author, and business coach. He uses the handle 'The Wealthy Cop' on Twitter.

According to Vice Magazine, before Snowden joined, Tulsiani urged the Zoom audience to buy $47 tickets to a VIP session of the conference, waved around a $100 bill and asked people to "dance" for it, and said that Snowden's story should inspire the attendees to "kill the virus" of "I can't afford it." At one point, another speaker reportedly walked onstage with a stack of bills and threw some of it into the air.

Tulsiani's chat with Snowden began with a question about the accuracy of the former NSA contractor's portrayal in a 2016 biopic directed by Oliver Stone.

A group of former “Jeopardy!” participants penned an open letter with claims about contestant Kelly Donohue’s gesture and demanded the game show apologize.
Former show contestants are requesting an apology after a "Jeopardy!" winner allegedly flashed a gesture that has become associated with certain hate groups.

A group of former show participants penned an open letter published to Medium on Wednesday condemning incidents on the game show.

"A recent contestant has caused concern among 'Jeopardy!' viewers for two separate occurrences, and we as former contestants feel the need to speak out against the messaging that these choices communicated — either intentionally or unintentionally — by the contestant Kelly Donohue and, implicitly by association, the producers of 'Jeopardy!'" they wrote.

A group of former "Jeopardy!" participants penned an open letter with claims about contestant Kelly Donohue's gesture and demanded the game show apologize.

Comment: These former Jeopardy players clearly aren't too smart! Virtue signaling appears to have a detrimental effect on the ability to think rationally.

School district tells principals to create fake curriculum to send parents after complaints of indoctrination

Faced with complaints from parents about the indoctrination of children, an official in Rockwood School District, Missouri, instructed teachers to create two sets of curriculum: a false one to share with parents, and then the real set of curriculum, focused on topics like activism and privilege, according to a memo obtained by The Daily Wire.

Natalie Fallert, EdD, 6-12 Literacy Speech Coordinator, wrote to all middle and high school principals that parents had repeatedly complained that "we are pushing an agenda," "we are pushing Critical Race Theory (I had to look this one up!)," "we are making white kids feel bad about their privilege," we are "stereotyping," "we are teaching kids to be social activists," and "we are teaching kids to be democratic thinkers and activists."


Comment: All true, and the fact that she even claimed she had to look up CRT means she should be fired immediately for incompetence. But there's a whole lot more than incompetence going on here. Everyone involved in this should lose their jobs.


The problem was that, for the first time, parents could see what teachers were telling their children thanks to virtual learning, where assignments were visible for at-home learners in a tool called Canvas.

Critical Race Theory: A Two-page Overview

"Unlike traditional approaches to civil rights, which favor incrementalism and step-by-step progress, critical race theory calls into question the very foundations of the liberal order, including equality theory, legal reasoning, Enlightenment rationalism, and the neutral principles of constitutional law."
From Critical Race Theory: An Introduction, first edition (2001), by Richard Delgado and Jean Stefancic, p. 3.

"Crits [Critical Race Theorists] are highly suspicious of another liberal mainstay, namely, rights."
From Critical Race Theory: An Introduction, first edition (2001), by Richard Delgado and Jean Stefancic, p. 23.

Critical Race Theorists describe Critical Race Theory as a movement (which is strange for a theory of society) designed to reinvent the relationships between race, racism, and power in society. To do this, they begin with the assumption that race is socially constructed and racism is systemic. This means that they view racial categories as social and political fictions that have been imposed by white people on people of color, especially blacks, and that the "system" upon which all of society operates on every level unjustly produces "racist" outcomes that favor whites (and minority races that adhere to "whiteness") at the expense of people of color, especially Latinos and, even more especially, blacks. Because racism is a property of the system, which includes everything from policy to behavioral norms to manners of speech to what we consider true, racism persists even if no individual or institution acts in a racist way or holds any racist beliefs. It is the way society operates that is racist, as can be determined by the fact that there are statistical differences in average outcomes by racial category.

Connecticut will no longer allow a religious exemption from childhood immunization requirements for schools, colleges and day care facilities, becoming the sixth state to end that policy.

The legislation was signed into law Wednesday by Gov. Ned Lamont, hours after the Democratic-controlled Senate passed the bill late Tuesday night. More than 2,000 opponents had rallied outside the state Capitol building, arguing the legislation unfairly infringes on their religious liberties and parental rights.

"Proud to sign this bill into law to protect as many of our school children as possible from infectious diseases as we can," Lamont said in a tweet, announcing he had signed the contentious bill.
