[IsraelTimes] Social justice activist Quintez Brown charged with attempted murder after allegedly firing at Craig Greenberg at his campaign headquarters; police still investigating motive
A candidate for Louisville’s metro council stands charged with attempted murder, accused of opening fire on a mayoral candidate whose shirt was grazed by a bullet in his campaign headquarters, police said Tuesday.
Quintez Brown, 21, also faces four counts of wanton endangerment, Louisville police front man Aaron Ellis said.
Police said Brown appears to have acted alone, and the motive remains under investigation.
The possibilities are insanity, really seedy politics, or a BLM plot to clear out the whiteJew competition for the seat, as far as I can see.
After a previous incident last year when Brown briefly disappeared, his family said his mental health was among their concerns.
Brown, a social justice activist running as an independent for the council, has campaigned with a slate of candidates opposed to projects they say will worsen gentrification in Kentucky’s largest city.
The apparent target of Monday’s shooting, Jewish Democrat Craig Greenberg, has promoted his experience at the center of the city’s revitalization efforts, and helped draft legislation promoting developments in Louisville’s predominantly Black west side.
Greenberg said he was at his campaign headquarters with four colleagues when a man appeared in the doorway and began firing multiple rounds.
"When we greeted him, he pulled out a gun, aimed directly at me and began shooting," Greenberg said. "Despite one bullet coming so close that it grazed my sweater and my shirt, no one was physically harmed."
One staffer managed to shut the door, which they barricaded using "tables and desks," and the suspect fled, he said.
Apprehended a short time later less than a half-mile from the scene, Brown was carrying a loaded 9mm magazine in his pants pocket and had a drawstring bag with a handgun and additional handgun magazines, according to the arrest report.
"Today is not a day for politics, but it’s not lost on me that the violence my staff and I experienced today is far too common in our city. Too many Louisville families have experienced the trauma of gun violence," Greenberg said Monday.
Brown, a former intern and editorial columnist for The Courier Journal, has been prolific on social media, tweeting and retweeting comments on social justice issues. In one recent post, Brown showed the faces of several young Blacks killed by gun violence in Louisville, writing: "This is our reality. All of these kids are gone."
"Gun violence reveals the interconnected nature of our reality," Brown posted. "What affects one directly, affects all indirectly. Especially in our segregated conditions."
Greenberg has built a big fundraising lead in a crowded race to succeed outgoing Mayor Greg Fischer in the Democratic-leaning city. A Harvard-educated lawyer, Greenberg helped start Louisville-based 21c Museum Hotels, building the company to more than 1,100 employees. The company is credited with helping revive Main Street in downtown Louisville and other urban neighborhoods across the country.
Brown disappeared for about two weeks last summer. After he was found safe, his parents issued a statement asking for patience and privacy while they attended to "Quintez’s physical, mental and spiritual needs," the Courier Journal reported.
Craig Greenberg, a Jewish Democrat running for mayor of Louisville, KY, was shot Monday. Arrested for his attempted murder is a 21-yr-old "racial justice" protester who calls for "the total liberation and unification of Africa under scientific socialism.”https://t.co/tOMzOuiDIA
Granted that there's a lot of crime, this is a significant escalation in self-defense capabilities.
[WWLtv] NEW ORLEANS — [Random citizen] had just gone back inside from watching Krewe du Vieux when he says he saw the bright light from a flame thrower out his back window.
You can see by the singed leaves of a fern hanging from the balcony where the flames touched just how close they got to a catastrophic accident.
And judging by Mayor Cantrell’s reaction when we told her what happened, this is something the city will be taking seriously. Save it to repel attempted car jackings, will ya? "Get out of the car or I'm going to..." WHOOOSH
"That’s the last place they need to do that," said Mayor Cantrell.
At the time of Monday’s Mardi Gras safety meeting neither she nor NOFD Fire Chief Roman Nelson knew anything about what happened.
He too acknowledged the dangers, "Definitely on a balcony in the quarter is just not a good idea and probably illegal I would think," said Chief Nelson.
[JustTheNews] COVID-19 mask mandates were never necessary, says Dr. Robert Malone.
"We've known how to cure COVID since about March of 2020," the mRNA-vaccine-pioneer-turned-critic told "Just the News, Not Noise" TV show cohosts John Solomon and Amanda Head.
The sudden scramble two years later by democratic governors to lift mask mandates "is a clear pivot consequent to their horrible polling numbers," Malone said. "It's exactly what I predicted when people were asking me, 'How will we know when this thing is over?' I've said, 'Well, you'll know it because they'll all start giving awards to each other and claiming that they're the ones that are responsible for curing it.'"
Malone also discussed explosive new data from the Defense Medical Epidemiology Database (DMED) regarding possible COVID vaccine side effects, which three military medical whistleblowers recently came forward with when they saw a significant increase in common vaccine injuries during 2021.
"DMED was something that Lt. Col. Theresa Long and some of her colleagues queried when they were busy doing diligence to try to understand what they were seeing with their own warfighter communities that they were sworn to protect as physicians," Malone explained.
"And they were seeing signals that were unusual, and so they consulted the DMED database and were shocked to find enormous increases in 2021, when the vaccine mandates were implemented to the military, compared to 2020 in a wide variety of diseases, including cancers, things related to reproduction and female reproductive health."
Malone was asked about recently released emails exposing a plan by three top federal public health officials to discredit the anti-lockdown epidemiologists behind the Great Barrington Declaration. The exchange showed the three — then-National Institutes of Health (NIH) Director Francis Collins, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) Director Dr. Anthony Fauci, and NIAID Deputy Director for Clinical Research and Special Projects Dr. Clifford Lane — coordinating "a quick and devastating takedown" of the premises of the declaration, which espouses "focused protection," a mitigation strategy prioritizing the most vulnerable populations.
"[T]hey slandered and defamed those three as 'fringe' epidemiologists, but they happen to be full professors at the obscure universities Oxford, Stanford and Harvard, I believe," Malone said sarcastically, referring to Sunetra Gupta, Ph.D., Jay Bhattacharya, MD, Ph.D., and Martin Kulldorff, Ph.D., respectively.
"And please note that neither Dr. Fauci nor Dr. Collins nor Dr. Lane have any formal training in epidemiology," Malone added.
Malone also reacted to the news that the South African doctor who discovered the Omicron variant said she was pressured not to call the new COVID variant a "mild" illness in public.
"So what we're looking at," he said, "is really quite shocking: It runs across all of health care, it runs all the way through Health and Human Services, it runs across all the Western nations — there seems to be some odd collusion, and that has been focused on amplifying the fear and suppressing any counter-narrative."

As a couple of spooks used to say here "our government is capable of doing anything", however the show is not over. Look to Canada and see where we are going. Years ago I said to a small business owner it can't get worse and he responded, "you wanna bet".

/\ After eleven years in Vietnam and twenty or so in Afghanistan. The presidential elections of Barak Hussein Obama and Joe Biden, yes, just about anything.

/\ Much of the money previously dedicated to the COVID effort never made it to actual COVID activities. Other pressing needs and social priorities appear to have siphoned it away.... as planned. Some might call it a laundering process.

Will, we ever see a FACTUAL Lesson Learned
in how the Covid-19 was handled correctly and incorrectly?
One item for sure is that "Science" needs to be determined by the EXPERTS and NOT politicians using it to sequester a population in fear.
NOTE: How long before a Health Ins. company, state or LAWYER launches a Class-action lawsuit on those that ran the Wuhan Gain of Function project, which just "accidentally" happened in a US election year?
BTW: Interesting to note how many Virus/Disease Outbreaks and Panics seem to happen around national and Mid-term election years here in the USA between 1999 to 2020.

Does anyone believe Trudeau will give up on seizing dictatorial powers? He could have ended this very early on but his ego and lust for power got in the way. No mere peons are going to question his authority. He should be toast soon but will he be?

...My understanding is that within a few days, Parliament has to approve this. Which means that Trudeau has committed an unpardonable, unforgivable sin among politicians: He's making them give a straight up, yes or no answer on what is likely the touchiest subject in Canadian politics in decades.
This is gonna be fun.

Yeah, he really stepped on a rake.
If a pocket veto is even possible, it is still a loss, "If it wasn't enough of an emergency to send the request to Parliament, why did you declare an emergency?"
"Can Parliament affirm an emergency on broken dictates, on breaking a 'law' which isn't a law?"
Even those who may agree with the 'emergency' measure for whatever reason, do they want it put into stone and give away the game, affirming the seriousness of the convoy?
#10
When asked directly, the right flushable Turdo responded with a jingle non-answer.
As I understand, no bill confirming the dictate has been submitted.
We do know that the currently Canadian Dictatorship is using illegally sources, and quite honestly unverified information physically harass any name which appears on that list; in conjection with that action Washington Post will be conduction their harassment in the USA in accordance to the Biden statement explicitly in support of a crackdown, making both corporations in agreement with what can only be described as criminal trespass, theft, and stalking.
Could be they all just Taco Bell on everything for seven days.
#11
Reconfigure. Let Alberta and the other Freedom-loving western Canadian provinces join the USA.
Vancouver/BC and Ottawa/Ontario can join the Woke USSA.
(And Quebec can join Haiti and the Maritimes, Iceland.)
#13
Others are now noticing that not only should a bill have been prepared beforehand, because there has been plenty of time, it should have been submitted with cause exactly 5 seconds after unlocking the doors. So when questions about the longevity of the dictate are poo-poo'd, it isn't a good look.
So is, dare I say, organizationally speaking, Afghanistan more free than Canada?
Let's not forget Biden's call to push the Dictator Button.
#14
Its not like he woke up this morning after a 6 pack of Taco Bell burritos and surprised himself with pushing the dictator button, showing up to Parliament unprepared and surprised; his question deflections were well prepared and measured. Coached one would say.
#15
I'm guessing its a busy time in the back halls of Parliament Hill as Turd'Dho tries to get votes before presenting the Bill to authorize tis extraordinary act. Absent that certainty, most of this is really bluff with scary blathering but not really using a lot of the powers not yet?authorized.
[PJMedia] Under Canada’s Emergency Act, the prime minister (currently Justin Trudeau ...hereditary prime minister of the same country that once produced McKenzie King... ) may take over police forces throughout the country. After Trudeau invoked the Act, declaring what is tantamount to martial law, and conscripted Canada’s law enforcement, the Ottawa Police Chief has handed in his resignation.
In response to the Freedom Convoy of truckers and thousands of others tired of Trudeau’s fickle and authoritarian response to COVID-19, the prime minister and his cabinet invoked the never-used, last-ditch authority to take over everything in Canada. He’s a dictator now.
The Emergency Act can only be invoked if the "lives, health or safety of Canadians" are "seriously endangered." Under the Act, Trudeau has sole dictatorial powers to change laws on a whim.
He’s already begun going through the information exploited from the hacked GiveSendGo crowdfunding website and demanding citizens explain themselves, according to Rebel News.
CBC reports that "in an unusual move" under the Emergency Act, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) "will be empowered to enforce all municipal bylaws and provincial offences in Ottawa. The RCMP does not carry out many policing functions in Ontario." They do now.
Ottawa Police Chief Peter Sloly reportedly was pushed aside by Trudeau as his federal troops took over Monday night.
Sloly made his resignation official on Tuesday.
Sloly has come under tremendous criticism by the people of Ottawa and the anti-mandate protesters. He defended his actions, saying the police under his leadership gave out "500 tickets, towed trucks, towed vehicles" and were responsible for a "significant decrease in protesters." He claimed that the numbers of truckers and protesters over the past two weekends have diminished from "10-15 thousand protesters and 3,000 trucks" to "five thousand protesters and 1,000 trucks as a direct reaction to our ’surge and enforcement'" response.
Trudeau has gotten pushback from the premiers of several Canadian provinces over invoking the Act. CBC reports that before he invoked the Act he was required to determine if "the emergency exceeds the capacity or authority of a province to deal with it" and whether the situation "seriously threatens the illusory sovereignty, security and territorial integrity of Canada." The premiers of Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Quebec, Prince Edward Island, and Alberta have all declared the drastic action unnecessary.
Trudeau says he’s limiting the Act to Ottawa, but people are dubious.
The Toronto Star editorialized today that "Trudeau has gone too far."
In the editorial, the Star opines that Trudeau was waiting for a Jan. 6 moment to come and it never did. Invoking the Act appears to be a way to attempt to force it.
Deputy PM Christia Freeland explained that the Emergencies Act will be used to cut off financial support to the protesters. "This is about following the money," she said. "This is about stopping the financing of the illegal blockades."
"Consider yourself warned. If your truck is being used in these illegal blockades, your corporate accounts will be frozen, the insurance on your vehicle will be suspended. Send your rigs home," she said, adding that the government’s powers would include cracking down on crowdfunding sites, making them register with the government, and freezing the assets of those involved in helping to fund the protests.

The truckers will be picked off one at a time, just like the J6ers, when this is over. Remember LaVoy Finicum?
The Mounties will put their images on a website and loyalists will turn them in.

So what will happen if the truckers do indeed listen to Trudeau and go home. And stay there.
Where will food, fuel, and other necessities come from?

[Breitbart] The Republican National Committee (RNC) is suing Bucks County, Pennsylvania, to push for more transparency when it comes to the county’s processes for counting absentee ballots, Breitbart News has learned exclusively.
The lawsuit represents an escalation by the GOP in an effort to establish uniformity in the Keystone State when it comes to the process of absentee ballot counting, with several counties in the state still resisting transparency and reform efforts.
"The RNC is suing the Bucks County Board of Elections because Pennsylvanians deserve transparent elections," RNC chairwoman Ronna McDaniel told Breitbart News. "Refusing to share crucial information about how absentee ballots are counted is unacceptable. This is yet another example of how the RNC is fighting for election integrity in courts across the country: whether it’s non-citizens voting in New York City or local election boards hiding information, we hold Democrats accountable."
Filed Friday in the Court of Common Pleas in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, the RNC lawsuit against the Bucks County Board of Elections seeks to compel the county to provide documents and information the RNC previously filed formal requests for regarding the process for absentee ballot counting in Pennsylvania elections. The county previously denied the information through the formal request, and the RNC seeks to have the court overturn that denial and force the county to cooperate with the public records requests.
At first, per the RNC lawsuit, Bucks County sought extensions from the deadline Pennsylvania open records laws impose on such requests—but then later formally denied the request. The RNC appealed the denial to the state Office of Open Records, where the request was also denied. This lawsuit is the next step in attempting to procure all that information as the GOP seeks to rein in the left when it comes to election matters in Pennsylvania and other states.
Bucks County is also not the only Pennsylvania where the GOP is fighting this matter. Similar battles are playing out in Berks, Montgomery, Philadelphia, and Allegheny counties as well. Party officials say they are prepared to bring similar lawsuits against other counties that resist the production of these records, like Bucks County is doing.
RNC officials told Breitbart News that during the 2020 election in Pennsylvania, counties lacked uniformity in how absentee ballots were counted and that some counties allowed voters to "cure" what election officials considered "defective ballots" while other counties did not allow curing of ballots—something that the party believes negatively impacted Republican voters, while disparately helping Democrat voters, in the state of Pennsylvania.
The RNC is attempting to, through these efforts, compel counties across Pennsylvania to be transparent in how they process and count absentee ballots—several of these countries are notoriously secretive about the process, as evidenced by the formal denials of the open records requests. What’s more, RNC officials believe that once the information on the process is available and transparent, it could provide the basis for a larger lawsuit and legal action forcing a uniformity statewide on the process of handling absentee ballots.
This latest action comes on the heels of a state court in Pennsylvania in late January striking down Act 77, the state law that retiring Democrat Gov. Tom Wolf used as the basis for the state’s 2020 election activities.
[JustTheNews] President Joe Biden on Monday named Democratic mega-donor Carrin F. Patman as his nominee for ambassador to Iceland, seemingly continuing the trend of putting forward inexperienced donors into diplomatic positions.
Brett Bruen, a former U.S. diplomat and White House Global Engagement Director under President Barack Obama, warned that Biden is appointing "amateur diplomats" for important roles after Democratic donor Jane Hartley was nominated to be U.S. ambassador to the United Kingdom.
That’s a long-standing American tradition, much to the frustration of the permanent State Department staff, which would vastly prefer that their senior members got the job as a pre-retirement perk. Some of the donors and celebrities do grow into the role, like Shirley Temple Black, while others, like JFK’s dad, cause problems their entire tenure.
Patman currently serves as chair of the Harris County, Texas, Metropolitan Transit Authority. She previously was a partner of the international law firm Bracewell LLP. The Houston Chronicle reports that she is the daughter and granddaughter of Democratic politicians.
She told the Chronicle that she has picked up "just a little" Icelandic language since Biden made his announcement.
"I do think being chair of Metro has prepared me for a diplomatic role," Patman joked to the outlet.
Data from the non-profit Open Secrets shows that Patman has donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to Democratic political causes.
