New York Daily News' Sin of Omission: White candidates prefered to black and brown

By sin of omision I am refering to Shant Shahrigian's article about the NYC comptroler race. He is white, and his piece puts the white candidates first and foremost in the article, completely omitting the facts about John Tabacco who is NOT a trader as he is barred from trading. Shahrigian might look at broker.com Sharigian might be hard to reach, the press these days is using Covid as an excuse to do hit pieces and then run. I feel like I just watched an accident and am chasing down a car, driven through the ghetto by a rich white man. There was no mention in the article of Daby Carreras, who is both Black and Hispanic. So that might be two strikes against him in the eyes of the New York Daily News, which was once owned by white woman Ghislaine Maxwell. Who is now a burden on the taxpayer as she sits in prison, accused of crimes against minors, some of whom say she was like a nazi contentration camp guard. So no surprise if racism is not rampant where she used to run her mouth and her opinions. A friend of mine, Ken Gibson, reached out to Mr Shahrigian today, calling him twice with facts. Let's see if Sharigian is man enough to respond. I'd like to know who owns this rag or why it's even still around. Might someone there have reasons to exclude Daby Carreras, who has always worked hard to expose corruption? And who lives in Harlem, runs a charity or two and a community garden? There's lots to write about here folks. But somehow I doubt that Shahrigian, or ANY of the reporters at this predominantly white rag, ever come to Harlem. But they don't have to come to the hood to meet the best candidate for NYC comptroller. Let them feel at ease on Wall Street, where they might be surprised to see someone black and brown handling billions of $ with hundreds of top clients. Daby has to work harder, being black and brown, than many of his white counterparts. I wonder if the reporters at this paper even left the office or did a background search on their subjects. Scott Stringer, for instance, who does not account for about $1billion that seems to be missing from the city, possibly embezzled by the mayor's wife? Stringer refused to answer a direct question about this on Sunday, 14 March when questioned in the street - Stringer was standing outside a park by the way that has was illegally taken from the public by white people. The brown and black seldom ever get to stroll inside Lt. Tighe Park on Riverside Drive/Seaman Avenue and Dyckman Street. That too could be a story for a diligent paper. Mr Sharigian, are you listening? Or are you just content to do a story about a rich white man and leave out a more competent - and honest - black and brown individual? Sometimes the press is not lying directly; it lies by what it omits. And by its ommissions it shows its real nature.

GOP candidate turned to toast in Brooklyn

Last night Daby Carreras went out to the Brooklyn GOP meeting. As this race heats up, the contenders are getting nervous. And that includes John Tobacco, about whom I wrote positively, suggesting he run for Public Advocate. My bad, I was not in possession of all the facts. Since my post, much light has been shed on Tobacco. He got lit up as the truth emerged, with revelations about the 11 instances of his using clients' money wrongfully and how he is banned in the industry. Thus he is in no position to handle the public purse. Further, Tobacco changes parties like socks. In '97 he was GOP, then Independence then blank, then SAM, then back to GOP just recently. He was against Trump but wants the Trumpster vote. Tobacco got exposed as Carreras shared the truth with the B'klyn GOP; some of whom were not appreciative. For those of you who don't already know, Carreras is not only Hispanic but Black; and Polish, as is Guardian Angels head Curtis Sliwa, who was in attendance. Sliwa has been trying to run for Mayor, and as I noted already, I like the dude - but I don't see him in Gracie Mansion. I support Fernando Mateo for Mayor - who is also Black and Hispanic. Sliwa would be a great Public Advocate, and this was mentioned on the radio just last week. So things are boiling over at GOP HQ. I can't predict the outcome, but I can say that Tobacco got burned.

New York City candidates promise to heal city

2021 is election year in the Big Apple. Right now the brown and black community is looking at two great candidates - Fernando Mateo [for Mayor] and Daby Carreras [for Comptroller]. They both happen to be mixed race, black and Hispanic. The office of Public Advocate is between these two in power, and a candidate who is neither, a man named John Tobacco, would be excellent for that. Should he run for that, he would have the support of the other candidates and many city council candidates. So this year looks good in NYC, with the possibility of a unity among black, white and brown - and there happens to be Asian support here too. I am backing Danniel Maio for Queens borough president. There is so much money missing from the city coffers under the one party rule of Tammany Hall that a change is of the utmost neccesity. Carreras is a top Wall Street man, who, like Mateo, worked his way up. Mateo was on the Ebro show this week and made left wing shock jock Rosenberg look a bit shocked. When asked what he did, Mateo told the media talking heads about how many people he helped build their own businesses and get out of poverty. That is not what Marxist media and AOC are about. Ask AOC how many people she helped out of poverty and she might say one: herself. She tried by getting a high paying job in the House and then voting herself a payraise while getting $300 haircuts. And while we're talking $, where is the $2,000 that Trump wanted us to get? Biden has been in power and the first thing that happens is that the Indian tribes are mad at him because he took away their jobs jobs and now China will be exporting oil. They have America over a barrel as the price of a gallon just rose 45c. So the dems cut down Trump's offer to $600 and we thought Biden would at least give us the $1,400 difference as a political stunt. Instead we got pink hearts on the White House lawn. And he did not send FEMA to Texas when it froze. I guess he is trying to repeat the mistakes of George Bush and Michael Brown. Democrats, shut up and listen. We don't want any more free impeac mints and candy boxes full of nothing on the White House lawn. We don't want arrogant stupid radio hosts, reinforcing each others' stupidity. We want $, JOBS, and qualified people. Mateo for Mayor and Carreras for Comptroller and if he should decide to run, Tobacco for Advocate. Check out more at votedaby.com and draintheswamp.nyc

Daby Carreras: Candidate in Spanish Harlem

El Barrio, aka Spanish Harlem, is in the New York State 68th Assembly District. An incumbent who is in there now, a career politician whose dad basically handed him the job like Bush handed off to Bush, is being challenged by a very qualified candidate named Daby Carreras.

This candidate is as real as it gets. He is not just talking about issues, he is an issue. The man has jumped in to help in times of crisis, working with the Salvation Army to increase their cooling stations in the past, and has over time given gallons of blood. Not just blood, but very needed white blood cells that save lives - so much so that he has maxed out his life time allowance - which is 12 quarts.

His site has just gone live and I think it is about to go viral, not  like COVID 19 viral but in a good way viral. He is already like the de facto assemblyman because he is not just asking for votes but he is giving away things on his sight.

He sees the real needs, the everyday reality that a career politician who has not worked a real job does not. So he is already noticing the effects of this virtual lock down and wants to help people - right now, not just months from now if he wins, he is here for us now.

On his site are articles about things to do to find safe space and have fun, even do some learning and teaching of your kids, in this desperate time. He is giving away maps to families in need, giving away stamps so kids can learn, and if people need masks etc that too he is hip to.

I liked the article about rooftops. I have one that I used to be able to visit, but after COVID 19 it got shut down. Which gave everyone less space. Most landlords lock down the roof tops on the people who are already in a lock down in their apartments and this city is getting really hard to live in. So the article talking about negotiating roof top access to people in this time - and for the future - shows that Daby is the guy to vote for.

The same article talks about roof top gardening, and that is a real +, something to do other than surf the net in your cell, I mean apartment, but when we can't go out or go up it might as well be a cell, freedom is relative I guess, sorry if I diverge but I was really missing my roof top privileges when I read that article. And if I could grow something up there, NYC gets lots of sun so tomatoes would be great, it would make my life a little easier.

Some people think that a politician ought to talk about taxes more and one person asked why the site did not mention taxes. If they really want taxes and a site that talks about taxes, check out the incumbent I don't even want to mention his name here because on the subject of taxes I am paying his salary and he is not giving blood, giving away maps, thinking about all the kids and their parents and how there needs to be a way to walk around, have fun and learn some things.

It's hard to be happy about anything these days but I am happy to hear that Daby Carreras is running and so here is his unusual and very useful website - www.votedaby.com

He has a link on it to another useful website - but I'll put it here as well - www.centralparkmap.info

I hope these help and if you live in Spanish Harlem/El Barrio I hope you help this guy out and vote for him.

Iwo Jima and New York: How to win

My friend Ken, who is on board with the Miguel Hernandez campaign, is up to his eyeballs in work. Yesterday the New York Post article, (see previous post for link), today Telemundo, and tomorrow Michael Savage is hosting Miguel on the radio.

But he has some time to write for Brothers. Welcome Ken, what's on your mind?

Thanks David, I am happy with the press for Miguel. They really did a great job at the Post,
they plugged him a month ago in Cindy Adams' column, and yesterday Amanda Devine did a full page on him and AOC. Donations are coming in, and we are being called from coast to coast.

But there is a lot of work to be done, and the hardest fight might not be with the Democrats, who are as happy to get rid of AOC as are most GOPers, but  with some of the GOP in NY. Yesterday it was mentioned here that other COP candidates, who do not represent the demographics of the district and are not on the major issues, are being put forward. This is how the GOP has consistently lost, but margins of 95-5 or MORE! Now, how many basketball teams stay in the league with a score like that?

So the GOP needs to change if it wants to win. And it does not seem to want to do that. Which is frustrating. I don't mind admitting that for my efforts they call me Crazy Ken. I like that.
So call me crazy if I remind people that a Latin district will elect a Latin candidate - as the Democrats found out when their white incumbent fell like a bowling pin to AOC two years ago.

Winning is hard work, and the GOP, while it likes to fight, does not have the strategy or determination to win. There is a lot of infighting. It's a real mess right now, with people like Joey Saladino wearing nazi uniforms on YouTube and Cindy Grosz suing other GOPers.

It makes me think of a certain USMC battle 75 years ago - to the very day. The battle of Motoyama Airfield, Iwo Jima. The Marines had landed there 6 days before, having to start the attack at the bottom of a hill from which the Japanese were shooting them down like flies. At that time, there were two generals running the show - General Schmidt and General Smith. The latter was in charge of the landing, the former in charge of the battle on the island. Smith was saying that they needed more air support, Schmidt said he was going to go forward without it.

So on 25 February, 1945, the Marines had no choice but to go forward under Schmidt. His right hand man, General Erskine, saw the desperate situation and went to the head of the 9th Marines, Colonel Kenyon, and said he had to take the hill. The colonel responded that he needed air intel, and a rest for his men.  Which was not the immediate gung-ho response that some people might think appropriate, but in fact it was the response that showed the common sense necessary for any fighting force, be it the Corps of the GOP NY.

The officer won that battle, and the island was secured a few weeks later. Iwo Jima will live in US history forever. And the memory of that battle, and that officer - later promoted to general and awarded the Navy Cross - will always live in mine. He was my grandfather.

And in his memory I intend to win this battle for the 14th Congressional District in New York, pushing the GOP to exercise common sense and have the other candidates step aside for the one and only Latin, Spanish speaking candidate - in a district that is over 50% Hispanic.

Crazy? No. What is crazy is this fact that some in the GOP will not listen. They do not care for the district, they do not care for the country, they do not care for the party.

The party that my grandfather, after the war, worked so hard for as the head of the Kay County Oklahoma Republican Party. At that time, that state was solidly blue. He knew how to defeat both the Axis soldiers and the Democrats.The GOP NYC needs to take note.

Put your egos aside and stand behind Miguel Hernandez. Let's win for a change.

Miguel Hernandez: Real Man, Real Issues in the 14th Congressional District NY

In Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's district, the 14th in NY, there is heated race on both sides as candidates line up to defeat her. The Democrats are sick of her, and her far left leaning ways - some say there are
Missing Persons signs in the Bronx with her face on them. She is seen in Iowa, Nevada, New Hampshire - but is AWOL in her own backyard. Not good.
So the Dems may well be rid of her by summer.
And then they will have to face one of the many GOP candidates. The GOP, if it is smart and wants to win, had the winner already in hand: Miguel Hernandez. But Hernandez is not the rich white guy candidate that they back too often. So far the Bronx side backs John Cummings, a policeman, and the Queens side backs a black woman. I am not making any personal attacks on either side, but common sense would note that neither of these is Hispanic or speaks Spanish. FYI, the district is over 50% Hispanic, and the incumbent is Puerto Rican.
As is Hernandez. But that is about all that he shares with AOC. Unlike her, he came from a poor family, supported his mom and his brothers and sisters, and made it in life by hard work. Yes, he went to college. He managed to get top certification in his field, and also flies a plane. A competent man who knows the value of hard work and the issues.
One issue he is taking on is the lack of medical preparedness in this country. A week or so ago, at an at opening midtown, he was talking about getting penicillin factories up and running in the US. And he knows a thing or two about the pharma industry, as he built a pharmaceutical plant in New Jersey.
His push for penicillin is something that AOC and her socialist workers party have not even mentioned. Too much hard work for the socialist workers.
BTW, how many penicillin factories are there in the US?
NONE.
So where would one get this medicine?
One might get it from India of China. The latter cannot get enough raw materials, as China is out of order at the moment, and, well try getting anything out of China just now.
So where does that leave us in the US?
Stuck.
Am I making a point? I think so.
Like most people, I don't want some bug to come wipe me out. I am not interested in AOC and Sanders, or in Cummings, the white GOP candidate, or even the black GOP candidate.
Common sense is key here.
And that is why Hernandez, not his GOP opponents, is in the major press. Click here to read the New York Post article: https://nypost.com/2020/02/23/rise-of-sanders-and-aoc-has-some-ny-democrats-feeling-left-out-devine/?utm_source=url_sitebuttons&utm_medium=site%20buttons&utm_campaign=site%20buttons

Then check out his website:https://www.miguelhernandezforcongress.org/
 And if you live in the district and are a registered Republican, or can register as one, then you might want to sign his petition to be on the ballot by the end of March. Else we could get the national socialist in power and no meds in our pharmacies.

Black Votes Matter, Black Lives Don't

This past week Pocahantes, aka Elizabeth Warren, ran into trouble when a group of black women quit her campaign saying they were discriminated against and treated poorly.

Soon afterwards, she admitted that blacks only matter to her party at election time.


Below is an article by Ryan Saavedra posted on the Daily Wire site on 7 Feb., 2020.
https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-warren-suggests-blacks-only-matter-to-democrats-during-elections

Democrat presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren appeared to suggest during ABC News’ Democrat primary debate on Friday night that black voters only really matter to Democrats when it comes time to get their votes.
“You know, I’m glad to stand on this stage with my fellow Democrats who talk about how important the black community is, at least at election time,” Warren said. “Year after year after year, election after election after election, Democrats go to people in the black community and say, ‘boy we really care about these issues, racism is terrible, we all want to do something.'”
“And then somehow, the problem just seems to keep getting worse,” Warren continued. “Well, I think it’s time we have real concrete plans that are going to make a difference in people’s lives.”
“I proposed a two cent wealth tax and let me tell you just one of the things we can do with a two cent wealth tax: we can cancel student loan debt for 43 million Americans and because African Americans have to borrow more money to go to college, borrow more money while they’re in college, and have a harder time paying it back when they get out, that one law is going to help close the black-white wealth gap for people with student loans by about 20 points,” Warren continued. “We aren’t making a difference in America, we’re saying to the rich folks, ‘you keep your money and the rest of us will talk about racism, but not really do anything.'”

Is our teachers learning? NYC Board of Education child abuser David Hay BUSTED!!!!!!!!!

The last post of the last year was on the need to crack on the NYC Education system. It is full of child abusers, and so no surprise that the first post if this year is on an official of the NYC Board of Education who was arrested for his strange proclivities. This is why we need the Democrats OUT of our schools and OUT of Congress!

See the facts below:

A New York City education official is facing child pornography charges after federal officials say he planned to meet with an undercover agent he thought was a 14-year-old boy.

David A. Hay, 39, was arrested December 29 on charges of using a computer to attempt to persuade, induce, or entice a minor to engage in unlawful sexual activity and possession of child pornography, according to a news release from the US Attorney's Office. He faces 10 years to life in prison if convicted on the enticement charge and up to 10 years if convicted on the child pornography charge.
At the time of his arrest, Hay was deputy chief of staff to New York City Department of Education Chancellor Richard Carranza, according to CNN affiliate WBAY-TV. He was fired after the arrest, the New York Times reported.
CNN has reached out to the education department, but has not heard back. Before joining the New York education department, Hay had been a teacher and principal at two high schools in Wisconsin.
Hay made hotel reservations to meet with a young boy
Hay began messaging Craig M. Hoffer, an undercover investigator with the Neenah Police Department in Wisconsin, on July 3, 2019, according to a criminal complaint. Neenah is about 40 miles southwest of Green Bay.
Hay messaged Hoffer believing he was a 14-year-old boy named Colton, the complaint states. The two were using a dating app called Grindr.
Hoffer says the first message he received from Hay read "Into daddies?" Hoffer then told Hay he was 14 and Hay replied "Yea I'm good w that," according to the complaint.
After exchanging messages on Grindr, Hay and the undercover agent switched to text messaging app TextNow, the complaint states.
Hoffer says they exchanged messages for months, and that he verified that the phone number he was texting was Hay's and that Hay's pictures in the Wisconsin Department of Transportation database matched the pictures in the text and on Grindr.
On December 9, Hay, who lives in New York, texted that he was visiting Wisconsin at the end of the month. The undercover officer then asked if the two could stay in a hotel, to which Hay said yes, the complaint said.
Hay made the reservation, but the complaint says he backed out an encounter citing family issues.
The complain also says Hay said he was "a bit scared" and also referred to their age difference.
The officer called the hotel the two were supposed to meet at on December 28, and the reservation listed all of Hay's contact information, the complaint said.
After obtaining a search warrant, Hoffer looked through Hay's phone where he found the fake pictures of "Colton" he sent to Hay. The agent also found sexually explicit photos from 2015 of a boy who did not appear to be 18 years old, the complaint said.
That individual told the officer he did not send the pictures when he was a minor but might have as an adult.
Hay was a principal at two schools in Wisconsin
Jonathan Smith, Hay's attorney, told CNN affiliate WBAY-TV the complaint does not suggest his client ever tried to meet with anyone.
"There's certainly references to conversations he purportedly had with someone who was purporting to be someone who was underage, whether that was reasonable to believe or not is something we'll have to explore," Smith said.
Hay appeared in federal court in Green Bay on Friday. He was released to live with his parents on home detention. Hay will be subject to electronic monitoring, WBAY reported.
Hay's next court appearance is scheduled for January 14.
Before he served as the deputy chief of staff in New York, Hay was a principal at two schools in Wisconsin, according to CNN affiliate WFRV-TV.
Kettle Moraine School District Superintendent Patricia Deklotz told WFRV Hay was hired as a business and marketing teacher in 2005.
"He served as a high school principal from 2008 until 2011," she said in a statement. In 2011, she said Hay didn't have the necessary license to continue holding his position and it was found that he used a district credit card for personal purchases.
Hay then served as the principal of Tomah High School from 2011 to 2014. He resigned to pursue a doctorate at Harvard, district superintendent Cindy Zahrte told WFRV.

Teaching the Teachers

While New York City claims to be a top spot for culture and the intelligentsia, the fact is that the schools in the Big Bagel are a stupid mess. A friend of mine once corrected his teacher's spelling at PS 64. That was 1970. Nowadays teachers are not even all required to be certified.

Bullies beat up the smart kids, and drug dealers roam the halls. Teachers make more in the rubber room than in the classroom, and let's not discuss why they get in the rubber room. Let them bounce.

So why is nobody doing anything?

In such a super smart environment, with so many high IQ types running this city, why is the children not learning nothing but trouble?

The Teachers' Union is one problem. One big mess, full of selfish jerks who take the $ for themselves and leave nothing for the pupils.

Time somebody did something. As a matter of fact, somebody is. A number of people, most of them victims of the NYC schools system. My friend Ken Gibson, for instance, along with a number of his buddies, have started this year a group that will encourage parents to take back the schools, with after school projects in which children can learn trades, languages, go to the park and study nature, etc.

So something to look forward to in 2020.

Good teachers will like this project, but bad ones will have to go, along with bullies and drug dealers.

Anti-Impeachment Protest outside Nadler offices in NYC

Today a black woman was singing God Bless America on Varick Street, in Manhattan. A group of unhappy white people behind her made faces, while mixed race group in front of her joined in.
The white folks were Jerrold Nadler supporters, there  to show support of the monkey trial known
as the Congressional Impeachment Proceedings, while the mixed race crowd was composed of Trump supporters. The issue was the impeachment, which are not really impeachment proceedings, so who knows what the whole thing is. It lacks legal framework, as hearsay is being admitted.
Whistleblowers who were not in on a conversation and professors with opinions. This is not America, this is a third world left wing dictatorship.
Jerrold Nadler was nowhere in sight. Had he been he would have been questioned by taxpayers, who are sick of funding his proceedings which are clearly an abuse of government - aimed at damaging an opposition candidate.
And further questions were raised about his relationship to the former 'Impeachment' judge - Adam Schiff - who is now under investigation himself - my friend Ken Gibson has been going after him for months now about his place on the Humpty Dumpty Institute. Turns out that Schiff is working with something called Liddle Kidz which goes around the world touching kids. Must be a Democrat thing, what with Joe Biden talking about kids touching his hairy legs, getting a rubdown and things popping up. Go figure. Can't make it up. Only Democrats would talk like that.
Shiff's buddies Ed Buck (big donor to the Dems) and Dr Bruce Hesler also got arrested after we started this investigation. Both have something to do with sex crimes, Hesler is accused of soliciting pornographic photos from a 9-year-old.
So Schiff is no longer so visible on the Impeachment farce. Nadler has to voer for him, and that might not be working so well. After the protest at Varick Street, some went to Vandam Street where Nadler's constituent Mark Epstein  (big donor to the Dems) lives. His red pickup was parked outside. If the Epstein name rings a bell, think Jeffrey - who is, was, Mark's brother.  A sing was held up asking for an investigation into Nalder and Mark Epstein - and the Humpty Dumpty Congressmen.

The Humpty Dumpty Congressmen are mainly Democrats, on board at the Humpty Dumpty Institute, which Mark heads up. It was founded by Constance Millstein (big donor to the Dems).

None of the Congressmen, including Schiff, are answering our questions about their activities at the Humpty.

Maybe we need Congressional hearings. Touching little kids and talking about rubdowns and things popping up is what we ought to be investigating.

Brothers4Trump wishes all Americans the facts about the Humpty Dumpty for 2020, and safety to children, with Ed Buck and Adam Schiff locked up.

And along with them, Congressman Nadler and his Humpty Dumpty constituent, Mark Epstein.

Donald Trump set to resign as President: BREAKING NEWS

Donald Trump is set to resign from his office as President of the United States
at noon on 20th January, 2025.

Pass this around to Nasty Pelosi and Adam the Shifty Dude.

Turkey bombs Kentucky: FAKE NEWS ALERT

A few days ago, the US media were showing disturbing clips of Turkey bombing Syria this year.
Then it turned out that the clips were of a Kentucky shooting range taken in 2019.
FAKE NEWS!

Then there is news that is deleted, like the stories of Nazi concentration camps and Stalin's starvation of Ukranians. Both stories were true, and would have saved lives
had they run in the New York Times, but neither did. The NYT ran from the news.

And today the NYT makes no mention of Michael Bagley and his arrest earlier this year, which was recorded by the Daily Beast; which then stopped reporting on Bagley
after they were encouraged to do so by a man how knew Bagley and his works - Ken
Gibson. As soon as the Daily Beast heard the word 'Democrat' in association with Bagley, they backed off. The NYT had already done so two years previously, appa-
rently shy to report on a former aide of powerful  Democrat senator Patty Murray.

Bagley had secret state department waivers to go to Syria and arm rebels, and set up refugee camps, which he admitted to Gibson were fronts for black ops. They were also
money makers and Bagley et al. went on the air to sell their 'micro-cities' idea.

Now Syria is a mess that Trump has inherited. Russia and the US are brought into the conflict. Bagley has been arrested - after Gibson tipped off the DHS and the FBI set up a sting. Where is the news on this? I guess the reporters are all out stealing footage from Kentucky shooting ranges to support their agenda.

Below is the story on that fiasco. Read and laugh:

ABC Apologizes for Showing Video From U.S. Gun Range in Report on Syria

The video appeared in a report on Turkish attacks in northern Syria. ABC News did not specify how the error had occurred.
ABC News apologized Monday for mistakenly running a video that apparently was taken at a gun range in Kentucky with a report about Turkish attacks in northern Syria.
“We’ve taken down video that aired on ‘World News Tonight Sunday’ and ‘Good Morning America’ this morning that appeared to be from the Syrian border immediately after questions were raised about its accuracy,” the network said in a statement on Monday. “ABC News regrets the error.”
A representative for ABC News declined to comment on how the mix-up had happened.
The clip that accompanied the reports on the bombings showed explosions and smoke dominating the dark horizon. Tom Llamas, an anchor with ABC News’s “World News Tonight” spoke over the footage, which someone reposted on YouTube. “This video, right here, appearing to show Turkey’s military bombing Kurd civilians in a Syrian border town,” Mr. Llamas said.
A number of people on social media noted on Monday that the clip strongly resembled a video uploaded to YouTube in April 2017. The title “Knob Creek night shoot 2017” referred to an evening machine gun event held by the Knob Creek Gun Range in Kentucky.
An employee who answered the phone at the gun range on Monday but would not give his name, said that he was not sure who had shot the video. But he said he recognized it as having been taken at the facility.
News organizations have various systems for vetting footage to verify authenticity. Claire Wardle, executive director of First Draft, an organization that fights online disinformation, said that this sort of situation should be “relatively easy” to avoid by using tools like reverse-image search.
“ABC has a really good team that does this work,” she wrote via email. “But I assume that on a Sunday, when they were probably stretched for staff, they failed to do the necessary verification checks, and under the pressure that comes with breaking news, this got through.”
It was hardly the first time that an incorrect image or video clip had made its way into a news report. Such errors risk undermining coverage that has been properly sourced.
A number of right-leaning social media accounts and news outlets, like The Washington Examiner, wrote that the incorrectly sourced clip raised broader questions about the trustworthiness of coverage.
President Trump also weighed in, on Twitter:
ABC’s mistake came one week after President Trump vowed to clear the way for a Turkish military operation in northern Syria, leaving America’s longtime Kurdish allies feeling betrayed and unleashing chaos.
On Wednesday Turkey launched a ground and air assault along the border, killing more than 20 Kurdish fighters and forcing civilians to flee. In a joint statement on Monday, 28 European ministers condemned Turkey’s military action, stating that it “undermines the stability and the security of the whole region, resulting in more civilians suffering and further displacement and severely hindering access to humanitarian assistance.”

Sister Jineea Butler vs. Miguel Hernandez vs. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

The mother of a friend of mine in South Carolina got a solicitation, asking for $ to be sent to a PO Box in Virginia. The woman was familiar with solicitations with PO Box addresses from there, so was about to throw it out like all the other mail. But she noticed something odd about it; that is was asking for $ for a candidate in New York City. Jineea Butler is sending these out, asking for $ from strangers in far flung states, telling them she is taking on Alexandria Ocasio-Cortz in the 14th district in New York.
I don't see her registered. I do know Miguel Hernandez, the first candidate to register GOP - and the ONLY Hispanic candidate to run on the GOP ticket in that district. It is a Latin district, with over 50% of the voters being Latin American. Black folks and white folks have a little over 10% each. Making it political suicide to run where you have no base.
Jineea already got a good kicking trying that in 2018. She lots to the Democrat, Andrew Espaillat - who beat her about 95%-5%. Anyone giving her $ to run again, in a Hispanic district, and thinking she can win, is a fool.Jineea was running in the district that includes Harlem, so that really shows. Only 5%. Looks like the sisters and brothers did not eve vote for her. A white GOP man that year got 14% in the 14th District. Jineea could be asking for $ that she knows she can end up keeping, so far we see no record of her really spending on the campaign beyond $ spent on asking for $.
Further, no one really has any knowledge of Ms Butler. She had some low lever jobs with the city, and was or is an employee at the Social Services of Hip Hop (WTF?) - hardly someone to whom hard earned $ ought to be entrusted. 
Hernandez, on the other hand, is well known in GOP circles, working with Ken Gibson, Bryan Jung and Cindy Grosz. Gibson is an author and non-partisan environmental activist noted on this site for his investigative work, Jung is the District leader for the GOP in the 1st NYC council district who has worked on over 10 campaigns, and Cindy Gross is a PR person who writes for a number of publications including the Times of Israel.
And quite importantly, Hernandez has real experience in business and in training people, giving them needed job skills that they now use to go out and maintain the infrastructure.
Interestingly, he is also a pilot, as was Fiorella La Guardia, the famous Republican who took the
stronghold away. It happens to have been in the 14th congressional district.
Hernandez, not Butler, is able to take up La Gaurdia's mantle and win this election.

Brothers behind the wheel get no TLC from NYC

Raul Rivera, a NYC livery driver, has been trying to get a petition for fair treatment signed by all the NYC politicians. It would seem a simple task but it is not. He could more easily get to the White House than get to his congressperson, who happens to be Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Rivera has the support of her GOP opponent Miguel Hernandez and the GOP congressional candidate in the 13th Congressional District, Henry Grullon.

The story is best told by Raul, so click below to see what he has to say.

Ed Buck and dead black men: does it tie in to Adam Schiff and the Humpty Dumpty congressmen?

A 22 September article on the Frank Report is shaking people up. Ken Gibson, the navy guy who gives me info here, had a telephone conversation with Jeffrey Epstein's brother the day he died.
Gibson had been investigation this one for months, and telling people that Jeffrey had a bullet with his name on it.
The article is here:https://frankreport.com/2019/09/22/the-clintons-the-epstein-brothers-and-the-humpty-dumpty-congress-members/

You can see why people are upset - it has 77 comments on it already. I think Adam Schiff is running scared from it, he is mentioned as a "Humpty Dumpty" congressman, on board at some charity or so-called charity that had Mark Epstein on board.

Now Schiff is going after Trump so that brings it around to this site. Brothers 4 Trump is watching you shifty Schiff - you are one of the congressmen who refused to answer the questions that Gibson posed. Are you a child rapist and scammer of charities?

While we're on this, another person mentioned in the Gibson article on Frank Report is Ed Buck, who may have been killing young black men and giving them drugs. Buck is a big Dem campaign donor, I think he donated to the Schiff campaign.

So are the impeachment noises really being made to protect Buck, Schiff, and Biden's son? What was the matter with Trump asking the Ukraine for information? It's what governments do - it's why we have INTERPOL. How on earth can the Dems expect to restrict POTUS from asking for information?

We got some for him here. Lots of stuff has been broken here but people ignore it, just like the trolls on the Frank Report who try to discredit anyone with information. Trolls who use anonymous monikers and have to admit to stupid mistakes but then keep on going.

I think something big is being covered up, and it may lead to some of the artificial intelligence research that Epstein was into - American need to know about this before they end up microchipped
and raped, possibly cloned. Maxwell seems to have ties to this, as do the Djerassis. Of concern is a character named Alexander Maxwell Djerassi, who is allowed to work for the State Department and was a Clinton donor - along with Ed Buck.

The dots connect my man, they connect. And all that impeachment stuff is a drama with no mama.
 Just one more attempt for the Dems to deflect attention from the wrong stuff they're doing.

Is Scott Borgerson a threat to National Security?

A previous post noted that there are a lot of red herrings in the sea. Ghislaine Maxwell is here, there, and everywhere, but nowhere to be found by the process servers or the FBI.
When yet another sighting of her allegedly surfaced in Massachusetts, we looked at it with some cynicism. After all, the other sightings were false, so why should this not be as well?
Former USCG officer Scott Borgerson was allegedly hiding her at his mansion overlooking the sea. He denied it. Former US Navy intel enlisted man Ken Gibson gave him the thumbs up, saying he suspected Borgerson was a patriotic American just being used.
However, after the next red herring mysteriously appeared, moments after we posted that, we are looking at this again. That red herring was a photo of her at the In-And-Out Burger Joint in LA.
It was commented on to Gibson by Kathy Griffin (of the severed Trump head) that it was faked. She knows about headshots and said this was too much of a posed head shot to be a woman on the run.
And Griffins was proven right by the Daily Mail, which tracked down the photograph to LA lawyer Leah Saffian, a friend of Maxwell.
Then, the DM got photos of Christine Maxwell at the MA mansion. Davis Oliver Richardson, the reporter that spent weeks on this case going so far as to visit all three of Mark Epstein's NYC properties, and finding the lies that are being told about the relationship between Jeffrey and Mark, which is a lot closer than Mark might like us to believe - had just posted facts about Isabel Maxwell.
The sisters are also a bit closer to each other than they might like us to believe, and then there's the issue of Alexander Maxwell Djerassi - the son of Isabel - and grandson of noted scientist Carl Djerassi; Alexander is in the US State Department and was in on the Clinton emails, one can see Wikileaked emails with his name on them.
So the sisters look suspicious. And what about Borgerson? Gibson regrets giving him the benefit of the doubt. But he was not privy to the divorce papers of this person, not aware that Borgerson is accused of watching porn in front of his kids, threatening to beat up his wife in front of them and that the messy divorce led to the wife getting custody.
Borgerson now has a messy relationship or ex relationship with someone who may be a sexual predator and a spy. The latter is of concern, as Borgerson heads up a company called CargoMetrics which tracks ship movements and has an investor Maersk.
Could this be a setup by the Maxwells, following in the footsteps of their father?
Borgerson boasted to the press about a year ago that his company was like the NSA of the sea. I assume they are not just watching tuna. Should such an information gathering entity be entrusted to anyone with ties to Epstein or Maxwell? Should it be entrusted to a man to whom the courts could not entrust his offspring?

These are serious questions, and now that Gibson has seen the real Borgerson, he will be writing to Maersk to warn them. A copy will be sent to a US intel officer with a Top Secret clearance, and copies to US Senators on the Senate Intelligence Committee.

As a closing quote, let me post here the words of Patrick Byrne, former CEO of Overstock.com, as reported by Tina Nguyen of Vanity Fair on 22 August:

"There is a Deep State, like a submarine, lurking just beneath the waves at periscope depth, watching our shipping lanes"

An ocean of herring

Just after the last post here about Ghislaine Maxwell and the red herrings, another story popped up this time in the NY Post. Maxwell was seen at the In-And-Out Burger Joint in LA. It seemed to take the heat off the Massachusetts story. One red herring after another?
Kathy Griffin, in a conversation with reporter Davis Richardson and my friend Ken said that she suspected the LA photos were too posed. She would know, as a media professional who has done
and seen lots of headshots.
The Telegraph jumped in and examined these photos, to the embarrassment of the NY Post, and noted that a billboard in the photo did not belong there, at least at the time taken. They also claimed it was a high quality camera that took the photos, not a smart phone.
The Telegraph, after pointing out the red herrings, then proceeded to show pictures of Christine Maxwell packing bags at the MA house of former USCG officer Scott Borgerson.
Are these fake too? The NY Post has now picked these up as real. How do we know that this really is Christine, and that she is in MA, not Timbuktu?
If these are real, Officer Borgerson has some explaining to do, and Ken had a long talk with a Colonel
at the DHS about it. Officer Borgerson was in the CFR, presumably as a fellow, though his rank does not seem high enough for that. He did a speech with Maxwell in 2014, presumably without vetting her.
If she is not in MA, and she is not, if she was, she has gone, then CA - where she has family, including Christine, Isabel (both are twins) and Isabels son Alexander Maxwell Djerassi. Alexander works for the US State Dept in a Schedule C position, a political appointment. He dontated lots of $ to the Clinton campaign and was to be part of the Clinton/Kaine transition team.
My guess is now that she is in CA with family and quite likely on a yacht. Check any boats registered to Maxwell, Djerassi or Malina, which is Christine's husband's name.
The Telegraph article had its own shadow in that of the three authors, Margi Murphy did the LA reporting, and also happens to be a tech reporter. So why did she not know that Ghislaine associates
Justin Brown and Mark Baracs have a company in LA called Ideapod, which they launched at 166 E 65, Ghislaine's townhouse, in September, 2013? Brown does not respond to messages left on his FB account asking how he knows Ghislaine.
Red herrings can be found a gogo in this ocean of lies. And somewhere on it too methinks that a yacht with Lady Ghislaine is riding the waves.

Red Herrings in Epstein case

Yesterday the press reported that they found Ghislaine Maxwell. Which is good news for investigators and lawyers for the victims. If it weren't FAKE. FAKED by Ghislaine. I talked to
my source the former navy intel geek and he told me straight up: Maxwell is NOT at USCG officer Scott Borgerson's house in Maine.
This is a red herring, called in by her or an accomplice, like a bird feigning a wounded wing to detract hunters from its nest. She did this before, faking a Daily Beast press release to suggest she was in Tribeca.
Borgerson is someone she may have met at the CFR. It is not the first time US military personnel assigned to CFR have been chatted up by spies - Capt Bob Marquet was for instance, when he attended the Sailors & Soldier's black tie dinner ca. 2004. He was a sub CO and worth chatting up.
China? I think so, especially in Borgerson's case. He is suspected of being a patriotic citizen, running a hedge fund that focuses on shipping trends; of interest to China. Maersk is an investor in his firm. Again, of interest to China.
We suspect Maxwell of working for China all along, and also the Clintons.
So we will have breaking news as usual, BEFORE the WSJ and NYT etc.
BTW, check out this video of a leaked report that Jeffrey Epstein had broken bones in his neck, consistent with strangulation:

https://www.yahoo.com/news/broken-neck-bones-may-deep-114603161.html

Did he really commit suicide, as Alex Leary of the WSJ exhorts us to believe?
Or did Clinton put a hit on him before he could sing and get his plea deal?

Also to watch, Mark Epstein, who tells the press things that have been proven wrong. Davis Oliver Richardson is on the case, and he may well find Ghislaine Maxwell. And when she is found, we need to ask her questions about which intel agency she is really working for.

And oh, just checking the press updates, someone told the Post that she was in London.
Anonymous sources. Red herrings. Don't believe them or papers that rely on anonymous sources. This story will continue here and we don't rely on people trying to give us false information.

Ghislaine, you will be found. And you will go to jail, and so will Clinton.

Epstein case

A new twist in the Epstein case is the possibility of a plea bargain that would set Jeffrey loose in 5 years. Coming soon to a children's playground near you. He lives just a few steps away from one at his 9 East 71st Street address, so near to Central Park.
And there is not mention of any investigation into his brother Mark, or what might be done with the woman described as a nazi guard, Ghislaine Maxwell.
The mainstream press is pretty lame on this. However, a Daily Beast reporter, Davis Oliver Richardson has been working with Ken Gibson and they are getting more and more.
Their information is going into a report that will be sent to the Senate, but only after being made available to the American public.
The report will include a list of over 20 Congressmen associated with Humpty Dumpty, the charity institute that Mark Epstein heads up.
It will also include a background report on what was going on in Austria in the 70s/80s when Jeffrey Epstein was using and Austrian passport. Gerald Bull, Golden Bank, arms deals, helicopters to North Korea.
The press may be silent because so many reporters are in Jeffey Epstein's black book. Looks like a bunch of child rapists who want this story to fade away.
And the Miami Herald reporter who did follow this for years, Julie K. Brown, she seems totally nuts. She defamed a fellow citizen, trying to make him out to be a child abuser with no evidence. He proved her and his evil accusers wrong, and out of respect for an innocent man I will leave his name out of it. And we will leave Julie K. Brown out of our investigation as she does stupid things and is an uncooperative, unpleasant person.

Stay tuned for the story here that the major press will try to ignore.

Open letter to Senator Tim Scott

Dear Senator Scott,

While I appreciate what you have done for so many, I am surprised to hear that you are backing GOP candidate Scherie Murray in her run against Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
Ms Murray can hardly rustle up the black vote, let alone the Hispanic vote necessary to win in that district, which is over 50% Hispanic.
The only Hispanic candidate, and the first to register with the FEC, is Miguel Hernandez. He is highly esteemed as he has top certification as an electrician, plumber, and boiler repairman. He has taught these skills to many in the district. He grew up in NYC and is starting a project to improve the schools.
He also flies.
This highly qualified candidate has the respect of his people, and his people will decide who gets sent to DC.
My friend Ken Gibson, who is white, addressed this issue earlier this year at a Queens GOP meeting that was predominantly white, telling his own people that only a Hispanic candidate would be appropriate.
Some got it, some did not. Let's get this and find some other place for Murray if she wants to help.
But as a candidate in the 14th Congressional District of New York State, she is NOT helping.

Please help the GOP by not helping her to hurt our chances.

We look forward to GOP wins in 2020.
