1. The entire video and sound should be presented by the media

2. The police department's reaction to this is a message to all other officers

3. Shame on the CPD for not backing up it's officer, when all he did was employ an academy taught technique, designed to neutralize a potentially violent offender

Banker Suicide

LA MAGAZINE: FORMER DEUTSCHE BANK EXEC CONNECTED TO TRUMP LOANS DIES BY SUICIDE IN MALIBU

Thomas Bowers, who worked above Trump’s personal banker, was 55

By Ian Spiegelman -November 27, 2019

A former Deutsche Bank executive who reportedly signed off on some of the institution’s unorthodox loans to Donald Trump killed himself in his Malibu home on November 19. Thomas Bowers, the onetime head of Deutsche Bank’s American wealth-management division, where he oversaw Trump’s private banker, committed suicide by hanging, according to Los Angeles County Medical Examiner-Coroner’s office. Bowers was 55.

If you have been watching the tactics of the Puppeteers as I have, then we likely have some questions in common.

Lately it seems that nothing can be taken at face value. For instance, the mass shooting in Las Vegas is much different and much more than reported. And the riot in Charlottesville cannot be taken at face value. Not to mention that anytime the government is planning emergency training in your town, you should run, not walk, to the nearest exit.

So, not yet knowing what happened to this banker, you should excuse me while I raise a couple of red flags:

1. A young (55 year old) successful banker?
(What’s the motivation?)

2. Suicide by hanging?
(Or suicided by hanging? A favorite method of the puppeteers)

This could be nothing, but one thing it will be is fodder for the Fake News war machine for the next angle of accusations against Donald Trump.

Election Fraud on a National Scale?

win through any means necessary 

Dallas patriots Kevin Freeman, host of the Economic War Room on BlazeTV and Russ Ramsland, a voter fraud and election expert, have released detailed findings from a cyber/forensic investigation into election fraud utilizing compromised voting machines in 2018 (and quite probably, in the governor’s race in 2019 in Kentucky).

In summary terms, Freeman’s “Episode #70” reveals that (1) security protections in voting machines were disabled, (2) penetration and manipulation of actual vote tabulations was and is possible, and (3) evidence already exists that votes were surreptitiously, electronically manipulated to change election results.

This is the 21st century version of Stalin’s ruthless observation, “it’s not the people who vote that count, it’s the people who count the votes.” Only today’s Stalins can do it all by online penetration of unsecure ‘voting machines’ to count and alter votes, and leave almost no IT fingerprints.

Federal Subpoenas Seek Information on Giuliani’s Consulting Business

Subpoenas are issued for information on Giuliani’s associates, Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman


Subpoenas issued to people with ties to President Trump’s personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, and his associates indicate a broad federal investigation into possible money laundering, obstruction of justice and campaign-finance violations, and suggest that prosecutors are looking closely at the work of Mr. Giuliani himself, according to people familiar with the matter.

In recent weeks, prosecutors have sent subpoenas and other requests to potential witnesses seeking records and information related to Mr. Giuliani and two of his associates, according to the people. The investigation, led by the Manhattan U.S. attorney’s office and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, has already led to campaign-finance charges against the associates, Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman.

They're coming after Lipinski

POSSIBLE 3-WAY DEM PRIMARY IN IL'S 3RD CD; FRICILONE FILES FOR GOP

SPRINGFIELD - As of Monday morning, three Democrats and one Republican filed petitions for Illinois' 3rd CD primary in 2020. Incumbent Democrat Dan Lipinski will be challenged once again by Democrat Marie Newman - who narrowly lost to Lipinski in the 2018 Democrat primary. However, a third Democrat filed as well - Rush Darwish. 

Lipinski is noted as the last pro-life Democrat in the U.S. House - and abortion was the hot button is in the 2018 primary. Pro-lifers in the 3rd CD boasted that their door-knocking to protect Lipinski as well as their urging for normally Republican pro-lifers to crossover and pull Democrat ballots in the 2018 primary defeated pro-abortion Newman. 

The third Democrat - Rush Darwish - is a new name in the district. He is a voter registration activist. Before starting a multimedia production company in 2006, he worked as a TV broadcaster in Nebraska and Texas. 

One Republican filed in the 3rd CD race - Mike Fricilone - is a member of the Will County Board.

Campaign spearheaded by Lightfoot offers Chicagoans tips on how to safely use weed
In announcing the “Cannabis Facts Chicago” initiative, Lightfoot’s office warned against daily cannabis use and the potential for overdosing on weed.

Mayor Lori Lightfoot on Thursday announced the launch of a new campaign that aims to educate Chicagoans on the perils of pot smoking just over a month before the drug is legalized statewide.

As part of the Cannabis Facts Chicago initiative, which is being rolled out alongside the Chicago Department of Public Health, Lightfoot’s office is warning against daily cannabis use and the potential for overdosing on weed.

“Cannabis now comes in many different forms and is much more potent than in the past, with levels of THC, the psychoactive component in cannabis, three times what they were about 25 years ago,” a statement notes. “Over-consumption can result in hallucinations, paranoia, increased heart rate, confusion, poor judgment, panic attacks, nausea and vomiting.”

The announcement also advises pregnant and breastfeeding women to keep off weed altogether and reminds drivers that it’s both dangerous and illegal to get lifted before getting behind the wheel.

Lightfoot said the city is particularly focused on “how to protect our youth from products that could be harmful to their growth and development,” with the statement making clear that pot use can impair brain development and potentially lead to mental health issues.

The mayor’s office is also warning Chicago cannabis users to keep pot products away from kids, pets and houseguests who could unintentionally be subjected to a bad trip.

“Edibles can come in the form of candy, chocolate or beverages that might be attractive to children,” according to the statement. “Keep your cannabis in a child-resistant container and consider storing in a lockbox or safe.”

The health department will partner with medical professionals, Chicago Public Schools and City Colleges of Chicago to relay the tips to young people and other residents.
