Hawaii Senate Dem Majority Leader Gets 3 Years in Prison for Bribery

Former Senate Majority Leader J. Kalani English, 55, pleaded guilty to honest services wire fraud in February, admitting he accepted bribes from a Hawaii business owner in exchange for shaping legislation that would benefit a company involved in publicly financed cesspool conversion projects...

English “peddled the power and influence of his position as a Hawaii State Senator and Majority Leader to enrich himself and betray the trust bestowed upon him by those he was elected to serve,” U.S. prosecutors said in a sentencing memo urging the judge to send him to prison for three-and-a-half years.

The sentence, a little more than three years, must send a “stern and lasting message” that corruption of elected officials will be punished, the memo said. ...

Choy is a prolific donor, as are his immediate family members and business associates. Choy, his family members, and his employees from various companies have donated more than $356,000 to political campaigns since 2014, according to campaign finance data. Of that, Choy has contributed more than $160,000 to the elections and reelections of numerous Democrats.

Choy himself has donated to 55 campaigns — including 29 sitting lawmakers — since 2014. Money has gone to former Gov. Neil Abercrombie and current Gov. David Ige. He has most recently contributed to former Honolulu Mayor Kirk Caldwell’s campaign for governor, and to Honolulu Mayor Rick Blangiardi’s campaign.


"Stern and lasting message" my ass. Only life in prison will do. Singapore is a much better country than the US in this way.

Democrat President Joe Biden’s administration has pumped hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxpayer money into an organization that targets conservatives.

Biden gave the huge “anti-extremism” grant to the British think tank Institute for Strategic Dialogue (ISD).

However, the London-based organization is under congressional scrutiny for pressuring social media companies to censor conservatives.

The ISD has called on social media companies to censor conservative commentators such as Ben Shapiro for “misgendering” transgenders.

However, despite the concerns, the foreign organization will now use American tax dollars to help the State Department and Defense Department track “extremism” and “disinformation.”

The State Department gave a $249,993 grant to the Institute for Strategic Dialogue in April, according to the Washington Free Beacon.

Meanwhile, the Pentagon awarded $80,000 to it last month, according to a federal spending database.

The grants, which have not been previously reported, were given to the institute to convene an anti-extremism workshop for the U.S. embassy in Germany, and to study extremism in the military as part of an Air Force research project.


Lol, by "extremism" in the military they no doubt mean servicemen who take their commitment to the Constitution seriously.

June 17, 2022

TRANSCRIPT

DR. CLARE CRAIG: I'm Dr. Clare Craig, I'm a Diagnostic Pathologist and I'm co-chair of the HART Group and I want to take you through the evidence that Pfizer just presented to the FDA on the 6 months to 4 year old children.

There's an awful lot about this trial that has shocked me and I think will shock you, too.

The trial recruited 4,526 children aged from 6 months to four years old. 3,000 of these children did not make it to the end of the trial. That is a huge number, two thirds of them. Why was there this drop off? That needs to be answered. And without an answer to that, on that basis alone, this trial should be deemed null and void.

So what did the trial show? Well, they defined severe covid as children who had a slightly raised heart rate or a few more breaths per minute. There were six children aged 2 to 4 who had severe covid in the vaccine group but only one in the placebo group. So on that basis, the likelihood that this vaccine is actually causing severe covid is higher than the likelihood that it isn't. There was actually one child who was hospitalized in this trial. They had a fever and a seizure. They had been vaccinated.

So now let's turn to what they defined as any covid. And what they did was to utterly twist the data.

They vaccinated the children and they waited 3 weeks after the first dose before the second dose. In that 3 week period, 34 of the vaccinated children got covid and only 13 in the placebo group, which worked out as a 30% increased chance of catching covid in that 3 week period if you were vaccinated. So they ignored that data.

And then there was an 8 week gap between the second and the third dose, where again, children were getting plenty of covid in the vaccine arm. So they ignored that data.

There was then several weeks after the third dose, which they also ignored, which meant that in the end they had ignored 97% of the covid that occurred during the trial, and they just looked at tiny numbers. So tiny.

In the end they were comparing 3 children in the vaccine arm who had covid with 7 in the placebo arm and they said that this showed the vaccine was effective.

So they measured how many of these children actually managed to catch covid twice in the two month followup period. And there were 12 children who had covid twice and all but one of them were vaccinated, mostly with 3 doses. So you have to wonder what on earth they're thinking when the claim of reduction in covid was only 4 children and here we have 12 children who got covid twice, 11 of them vaccinated.

So let's just recap. They recruited 4,500 children, 3,000 of them dropped out, and in the end they're claiming this vaccine works on the basis of 3 covid cases versus 7, a difference of 4 children only, and all of this on a backdrop of a disease which doesn't affect children, and with no long-term safety data.

We have to ask how an ethics committee could have approved this trial in babies. Babies are not at risk from covid. And now we have Pfizer who are presenting this as evidence to the FDA in order to apply for an Emergency Use Authorization. Emergency Use Authorization is meant for a situation where there's a risk of serious injury or death. Now, children under 5 are not at risk of serious injury or death from covid. In fact, in their own trial, they had to make up other ways of measuring the problem because there was no serious injury or death.

Now originally these products were sold as actually also reducing transmission. Now it would be completely unethical to use young children as a human shield, but we now know that they don't reduce transmission. The WHO have stopped claiming that they reduce transmission, so that argument doesn't apply either.

Now if we just turn to safety, what they did is they followed up the patients for 6 weeks before unblinding them and vaccinating them. So the children who'd had placebo, the control group, were followed up for an average of 6 weeks and then given the vaccine. So that's your safety control gone forever.

The fact that this trial existed at all is unbelievable. There are other issues in there which I haven't highlighted, but those are the key ones. Parents should be demanding that the decision makers explain themselves.

From the beginning of the COVID-19 vaccine fiasco, I always sensed that all of the elements were in place for program to be a massive fraud. The program—hastily rolled out under the pressure of a purported emergency, with no proper testing, and with governments such as the European Union pre-purchasing the product for entire populations—promised overnight, windfall profits for the companies involved. Surely, I thought, this created an enormous temptation for Pfizer (which has a long civil and criminal rap sheet) and its venal friends in place like Washington and Brussels to perpetrate a gigantic fraud.

Dr. McCullough and I often talked about the COVID-19 vaccine program as an experiment on the entire population, and that those of us who refused the shot were apparently the control group. The relentless pressure and coercion applied to us in 2021 raised the suspicion that the Bio-Pharmaceutical Complex was desperate to eliminate the control group so that the true results of its massive experiment would never be ascertained.

A few months ago, Dr. McCullough was astonished by the results of a Danish study that revealed massive variations of side effects associated with different batches of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine administered in Denmark. He wrote about the Danish study on our Substack and discussed it with Senator Ron Johnson, who has long been concerned about manufacturing variations and defects in COVID-19 vaccine batches.

The Danish study revealed that just 4.2% of the vaccine batches were associated with the majority of severe adverse events. Conversely <1% of these events were associated with 32.1% of the batches. Over dinner one night this spring, he expressed his astonishment that a full third of the vaccines seemed to be associated with almost ZERO side effects, while just 4.2% of the batches were associated with an extremely high number of adverse events. What could account for this stunning variation?

Dr. McCullough was not the only scientist who wondered about this. In Germany, Dr. Gerald Dyker, Professor of Organic Chemistry at the Ruhr-Uni Bochum and Dr. Jörg Matysik, Professor of Analytical Chemistry at the University of Leipzig, were also stunned by the results of the Danish study.

Since the experimental Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine was authorized in the EU in December of 2020, both professors have been concerned about what they perceived to be a lack of proper testing and manufacturing quality control. And so, following the publication of the Danish study, they set about investigating the cause of this huge variation. A natural starting place was the Paul Ehrlich Institute—the German federal agency, medical regulatory body and research institution for vaccines and biomedicines.

Because the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine is manufactured by the German company BioNTech—and because Germany is a founding member of the European Union—the Paul Ehrlich Institute is responsible for all quality-control testing of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine distributed throughout the European Union.

As a true crime investigator, I find this arrangement to be inherently and extremely vulnerable to the temptation to commit fraud. That is to say, if the lords at Pfizer-BioNTech wanted to corrupt the process of quality-control testing of their experimental product, all they would have to do is corrupt the guys at the top of one institution.

As Professors Dyker and Matysik presented in a conversation with a German podcaster on June 22, 2023, the Paul Ehrlich Institute was indeed responsible for the quality-control testing of the three vaccine lots that were the subject of the Danish study.

What is astonishing (and almost certainly evidence of fraud) is that the Institute somehow knew in advance that it wasn’t necessary to perform quality-control tests on the 32.1% of the batches that were associated with almost zero side effects.

Anheuser-Busch Lobbyists Sell Access to Democratic Congressional Staff
The Bud Light maker owns a secret bar in Washington, D.C. for political insiders.

Carefully hidden inside an otherwise nondescript office tower in the middle of Washington, D.C., with a sweeping view of Pennsylvania Avenue, there’s a secret bar just for political insiders.

Last Thursday, I was promptly kicked out of it.

The lobbying division of Anheuser-Busch, the beer-making conglomerate that produces Bud Light, Michelob, and other brands, owns the bar. The invitation-only pub is off-limits to the public, and the event I briefly attended was an ethically-dubious influence-peddling operation.

Hunter’s “artworks,” which were panned by art critics, sold for upward of $500,000 per piece.

However, new evidence has now confirmed that Hunter Biden did learn the identity of two buyers of his “art.”

You will not be surprised to learn that one of them got a favor from the Biden White House.

The buyer is Democrat donor Elizabeth Hirsh Naftali, a Los Angeles real estate investor and philanthropist.

In July 2022, eight months after Hunter Biden’s first art opening, Joe Biden announced Hirsh Naftali’s appointment to the Commission for the Preservation of America’s Heritage Abroad.

The ongoing investigation into Hunter Biden’s tax affairs and overseas business dealings has come under increased scrutiny recently, revealing disturbing connections that raise serious questions about conflicts of interest.

According to a report from Fox News, a thorough examination of Chief Deputy Attorney General of Delaware Alexander Snyder-Mackler, his association with the Biden family, and the investigation into Hunter Biden brings to light a concerning web of relationships that demands closer scrutiny.

Mackler’s long-standing ties with the Bidens cannot be overlooked, having served as Joe Biden’s legal counsel during his vice presidency and as a press secretary during the former senator’s tenure between 2007 and 2008.

Perhaps even more significant is the fact, Mackler’s stint as an assistant United States attorney in the Delaware U.S. Attorney’s office coincided with the federal inquiry into Hunter Biden’s financial affairs.

While the specifics of Mackler’s involvement in the probe remain elusive, his prominent position in the office investigating the president’s son raises legitimate concerns about impartiality.

Intriguingly, emails retrieved from Hunter Biden’s laptop, verified by Fox News, depict a close relationship between Mackler and Hunter Biden, with Mackler signing off one email with “Love you brother.”

House Oversight Committee Launches Probe into Hunter Biden’s ‘Art’ Sales as Buyer Exposed as Democrat Donor

Why would that matter? The Dem donor already paid a bribe. What needs to be tied together is what painting buyer suddenly got special treatment. A Dem fan boy buying a Hunter payment will just come across like a Trump fan buying a signed red hat.

REMEMBER THIS?

When Joe Biden OPENLY Bragged About Getting A Ukrainian Prosecutor Fired

BIDEN: "I said, 'I'm leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor is not fired, you're NOT getting the money.' Well, son of a b*tch. He got fired."




Hunter had a no-work job on the board of Burisma paying $50,000/month.

The job was entirely to be connected to Pedo Joe so that Joe could do things like withhold US aid to Ukraine unless the prosecutor investigating Burisma got fired.

Trump attempted to expose Pedo Joe's corruption and got impeached for it.

Nothing at all happened to Pedo Joe even when he publicly bragged about abusing his office to influence US foreign policy so that his son could rake in $50K/month for doing nothing at all.

You know, when I think about it, the push for the poke and croak, the resources available on PatNet (@Rin, among others), ivermectin, the @Rin cocktail. I'm half of the opinion that Patnet saved my family's life, or at least spared us multiple seasons of "illness and death." Thanks @Patrick, @Rin, and @richwicks, for keeping my family largely out of harm's way.

What did I do?

The only thing I did was say this injection is bullshit as was the "pandemic", and I concluded that in part by @OnVacation - he went through CDC stats and it was pretty clear we were never in a pandemic.

This has been a wake up call to me too. I didn't think they could lie about outright data, but they can. I remember 20 years ago, if a company pulled some shit, a bunch of engineers would expose because they'd go through the math or stats - nobody does this anymore and when they do, the information doesn't get far.

We’ve all picked up on the “carrots and sticks” employed to ensure compliance with the Covid narratives.

For example, the “scientists,” public health experts, doctors and hospitals who supported the authorized Covid narrative were literally paid vast sums of money for following the CDC and NIH’s medical protocols.

If a patient was classified as having Covid, the hospital and medical provider received a significant financial bonus. Using ventilators got them more money. Prescribing remdesivir (“run-death-is-near”) was a source of extra profit.

Congress, tapping into the unlimited line of credit from its Magic Printing Press, kicked in extra money to reward people, organizations, states and cities who went along with all the harmful and unnecessary “mitigation” measures.

Scientists at colleges who produce studies that fit the narrative received major grants from Dr. Fauci’s pool of bribery funds.

The mainstream press and the scientific journals were rewarded with advertising spends (and Bill Gates’ journalism grants) if they continued to promote all the false or dubious narratives. ...

It’s now public record that Fauci and Dr. Francis Collins of the NIH targeted the authors of the Great Barrington Declaration for severe reprisals. For some interesting reason, both public health leaders also pushed the “natural origins” theory of this virus and made sure those who disagreed were censored and pilloried by sycophant allies in the mainstream press. ...

The best example is probably the case study of Julian Assange, who committed the “crime” of publishing TRUE information about the Military Industrial Complex (most significantly by exposing likely war crimes in the Iraq War).

After he did this, Assange felt it necessary to flee to the sanctuary of a friendly embassy in London. After several years, the governments of the UK and America figured out a way to arrest Assange and he’s spent the last several years isolated (and silent) in prison.

At this writing, the U.S. government is still trying to extradite this Australian citizen to America to try him for “treason” and keep him in prison until he dies. ...

The same message has been sent to the many people arrested for the January 6 “Insurrection” at the U.S. Capitol.

I’m not sure how many of these protestors are still in jail today, but the number is large. Many of these protestors - most of whom simply walked through a public building - have been jailed without bail for years and some have been kept in atrocious, solitary-confinement conditions. ...

The Establishment actually fears only two things:
Losing control … and thus losing their continued wealth and power and their ability to complete their unfinished agendas.

Being exposed as criminals themselves, which very possibly would result in them spending the rest of their lives in the same type prison cell as Julian Assange, or even worse - possible death sentences.

Last week, MedPage Today ran a story headlined, “Top Patient Advocacy Orgs Have Industry Ties in Leadership, Study Shows.” The sub-headline added, “Half had paid staff or executives with pharma and medical device conflicts of interest.”

In other words, Big Pharma has captured the pro-patient charities.

Patient Advocacy Organizations (PAOs) are charitable non-profits allegedly organized to represent patient interests. They include organizations like American Cancer Society, the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research, the Cancer Research Institute, and the Foundation Fighting Blindness — which were all found to have leaders with direct ties to big pharma.

According to a recent research letter published in JAMA Internal Medicine, 75% of the 50 biggest PAOs in the U.S. have board members or senior leadership with ties to the pharmaceutical or medical device industry, in many cases working for industry and the charity at the same time.

Study co-author Shamik Bhat, BS, Yale School of Medicine, told MedPage, "the vast majority of these groups have not only financial ties, but now we can see that they also have deep integration in their boards, and their higher-up leadership, with industry."

The data wasn’t easy for the researchers to find. Regulations do not require nonprofits to disclose broad conflicts of interest like these. The study researchers had to scour personal websites and LinkedIn profiles to discover industry ties to PAO leadership. "Whether it's intentional or not, I think transparency for a lot of these patient advocacy organizations is a pretty significant weakness at the moment," Bhat noted.

You don’t say.

All in all, a completely unsurprising finding, and it explains a lot about how these groups all fell immediately in line with government policy during the pandemic, including opposing early covid treatments and pushing mandates, expensive deadly medicines, and the ventilator.

How convenient for the Obama coalition, and the establishment government now under attack by two populist movements, Occupy Wall Street and the Tea Party to slander them with charges of racism. As Vivek Ramaswamy points out in his book Woke, Inc., their way of wriggling out of the mess of the $700 billion bailout was to pivot to social justice and racism specifically.

... Is it merely a coincidence that the sharp drop in COVOD diagnoses coincided with the end of special federal reimbursement for COVID cases?







Simple suggestion: if the Branch COVIDians want the COVID numbers to soar again, just get Washington to reinstitute having reimbursement formulas. Problem solved!
