Kesher Zion's Heritage
The origins of Kesher Zion in Reading, Pennsylvania date back to the earliest years of the 20th century.
Congregation Bnai Zion, formed in 1911, and Congregation Kesher Israel, granted a charter in 1913, eventually merged into one entity—the Kesher Zion Synagogue Center—in 1929. It was a joyous union despite the looming years of the Great Depression.
The synagogue building itself, a converted church on the corner of 8th and Court Streets in Reading, became the Conservative congregation's home for the next two decades.
In 1933, a separate entity—Kesher Zion Hebrew School—was created to further Jewish youth education and Bar Mitzvah studies. The school was originally located in a rented building on a property at Eckert & Perkiomen Avenues, which the synagogue eventually purchased.
In May 1947, under the leadership of President David Schein, groundbreaking for a spacious new synagogue at 1245 Perkiomen Avenue was held. It was followed in April 1949 by a "Dedication of Cornerstone" ceremony. Finally, after years of imagining, planning and construction, Kesher Zion's new house of worship was dedicated on December 3, 1950. The imposing structure featured magnificent stained-glass windows in the main sanctuary, a beautiful Sisterhood Hall for social functions, a charming chapel, and ample classrooms for a growing Hebrew School.
The interior of 1245 Perkiomen Avenue
Countless simchas and family milestones were celebrated in that location for 65 years. As the costs for maintaining the building became more challenging in recent years, Kesher Zion explored various options and searched for a new home. Reform Congregation Oheb Sholom at 555 Warwick Drive in nearby Wyomissing opened its arms and doors to Kesher Zion, and the two congregations have been sharing space since 2017.

Forever is a long word I know. Especially for the family, where nothing is constant. Everyday a new page, a new moment and loads of experiences. A family is a bond, a feeling which connects us with the bond of love. Since our childhood, we have always imagined our family to be like the one shown on the TV. Something like The Brady Brunch, The Cosby Show, Happy Days and many such shows which portrayed a perfectly happy family. But in reality, there are many things which need to be taken care of to make it a perfect forever happy family types. Unlike television where everything is scripted and has a basic plot, in reality, there is no script and everything is LIVE. So here are some tips or key ingredients for a perfectly happy family #forever.
Yes, make it a habit to atleast have one course of the meal together. Be it breakfast or lunch or dinner. Make sure to make it a condition or something more strict. Why because enjoying one meal together increases the love and the bond among the family members. Discuss your day, was it hectic or any other talks to share how was the day.
In a family the most important to accept one and all as they are. Make every member of your family. Don't start adjusting them according to your taste. Let them sink and slowly allow them to adjust. In a family, the most important thing is to keep the balance. And in order to keep the balance, there has to be a rhythm.
Yes planning a vacation once every month is a must. It can also be a short one-day dinner plan or a vacation. Anything to spend some time with your family. No phones, no laptop, no work files nothing. Only you and your family. This will allow you all to come even more closer and will serve as a plus point in the future. Especially for the kids, this may turn out to be a plus point for them and they may start sharing their problems with you.
This is really important. To maintain that harmony and peace you have to shower the equal amount of love for all. Your family is your responsibility the language of love is more powerful than anything. Take care of everyone, including your children. Scold them but at the same time hug them with love and affection. Surprise them by celebrating their special day like a birthday or something like scoring good marks. Even when they feel low in life, talk with them and try to understand their problem.
In a family, the most important equation is with the children and the elders. In order to maintain a balanced relationship with everyone, be their problem solver. Try to find out solutions instead of shouting or panicking at the moment. This goes for the kids especially! The kids will share their problem only when they see that the person on the other side is lenient enough to listen to them. If you shower them with anger they will never share their problems.
A family is like a plant, you have to water it, nurture it and then only it will provide you with the fruits. The sweetness of the fruits depends on you and your plantation techniques.

Action to stop Sunderland's Bishopwearmouth Cemetery being used as a 'rat-run'
A much-loved Sunderland cemetery is to make changes to prevent disrespectful motorists from using it as a shortcut.
25th Nov 2021, 1:21pm - 2 min read
In September the Echo reported concerns of nearby residents about Bishopwearmouth Cemetery. Vehicles are cutting between Chester Road and Hylton Road at all hours, to save time by avoiding traffic lights.
"No through road" signs at both ends of the 80-acre site are routinely ignored, as are 10mph speed limit signs.
Some drivers even play loud music as they speed through the 600m stretch of the cemetery's central path.
Signage at Bishopwearmouth Cemetery is routinely ignored by motorists using it as a rat-run.
Details are yet to be finalised, but the cemetery is set to make changes early in the new year after councillors for the area held a meeting with Sunderland City Council's Bereavement Services department.
The Echo understands that this could involve bollards, a new car park and a one-way system. The new scheme will accommodate people who genuinely need vehicle access to Bishopwearmouth, particularly for funerals.
The cemetery is in the Pallion ward, which is represented by three Lib Dem councillors, including Cllr George Smith.
He said: "Blocking the road through the cemetery is long overdue; preventing it being used as a rat-run by inconsiderate drivers, whilst maintaining access for mourners and funeral parties.
"The cemetery should be a peaceful place for people to mourn and pay respects to departed loved ones; but for years this has been disturbed by cars racing through to avoid the traffic lights on Chester Road and Hylton Road.
"It is fantastic news that the council has finally listened and acted to make sure Bishopwearmouth remains a peaceful place where mourners and have the chance to grieve and pay their respects in peace."
Council deputy leader Cllr Claire Rowntree said: "Regrettably, there has been an increase in drivers who have been using Bishopwearmouth Cemetery as a short-cut, and causing a nuisance and disturbances to visitors and nearby residents.
"It is clearly stated at the entrances that these are for access only and not through roads. As a listening council, we have been consulting widely and are now considering introducing restrictions to vehicles at the cemetery.
"Pedestrian access will not be affected and notice of the closures will be given in the coming weeks as we look to introducing these restrictions early in 2022."

"Gettin' yer act together on the guitar, even if you only have 15 minutes every other day" is all about attitude, intention and being inventive. This lesson uses pick and finger exercises as a vehicle to explore how you do what you do when you practice. The goal of the lesson is to make you a more well-rounded, expressive and confident guitarist.
This will be accomplished by teaching techniques to increase your dexterity and sharing ideas that will open your mind and the guitar neck for fresher, deeper expression. The things you learn in this afternoon will be fuel for life.
"Gettin' yer act together on the guitar, even if you only have 15 minutes every other day" is geared toward those who have busy schedules but want to progress on the guitar, and music professionals who have gotten to the point where they are spending so much time promoting, networking and furthering their day-to-day music careers that the old days of practicing 8 hours a day have become a distant memory. Whoever you are, this lesson will zero you in on making the greatest gains in what time you have available to sit with the instrument.
In the same way that an athlete's training is more effective with a healthy cardio-vascular system, so too will your music and creativity be more expressive with the increased finger independence and other concepts you will learn in this lesson.

Nepal Stunned As King Cracks Down On Media
by Damakant Jayshi
Journalists Under Attack In Nepal
(IPS) KATHMANDU -- After months of sermonizing on the need for a "nationalistic" and "responsible" media, the government of Nepal -- directly controlled by King Gyanendra -- passed an ordinance aimed at taming it.
It was not unexpected, but the new law enacted last week to curb press freedom nevertheless has stunned the media community which lost no time in denouncing the "draconian law," warning that worse is yet to come.
"We knew some regulatory measures were in the offing but what has come has really taken us by surprise," Prateek Pradhan, editor of the largest-circulated English daily, 'The Kathmandu Post,' told IPS.
The ordinance carrying amendments to various existing laws, relating to the media, was carried by a section of the press last Saturday. These contain some of the harshest measures aimed to muzzle the media since the monarch seized power by dismissing the cabinet on Feb. 1 and declared a state of emergency, citing the inability of political parties to rein in a nine-year Maoist insurgency that has claimed over 11,000 lives.
On Apr. 30, however, the state of emergency was removed but many civil liberties still remain restricted.
The amendments widen the ambit of defamation, with more people included under the term "His Majesty and royal family," thus barring any criticism of them. Also words like "insult" have been incorporated in the Defamation Act and the penalty for defamation ranges from 50,000 rupees (about 700 U.S. dollars) and one year imprisonment to a fine of up to 500,000 rupees ($7,000) and/or two years jail.
The new law also bans any reporting on the Maoist rebels that might "promote terrorism and destructive activities." The defiance of this ban attracts fines ranging from 50,000 rupees to 100,000 rupees and/or one year imprisonment.
Reporting deemed to portray the government (with the word "elected" deleted) in a bad light is also covered in the new provisions with the penalties coming under the defamation clauses.
The ordinance affecting both the print and broadcast mediums comes at a time when the independent Nepalese media has been trying to break free from the yoke of self- censorship after the Feb.1 royal coup.
Also, the latest law comes after army's censorship of the press in the initial days and the government's decision to withhold its advertisements (about 25 per cent of the market share) to the private media.
But the free press is yet to face its biggest test.
"This draconian law is the biggest jolt since the independent media came into existence after the restoration of democracy in 1990 and we need to defy it," said Pradhan, questioning the right of the "unelected government" to pass such a sweeping law in the absence of Parliament.
Calling for defiance of the new measures, Pradhan warned that failure in forcing the government to withdraw the measures would mark the beginning of the end of independent media in the world's only Hindu kingdom.
The biggest blow, yet again, since the royal coup, has been dealt to the once-successful FM community radio stations. Once the law comes into effect (it awaits the royal seal), community radio stations will be barred from broadcasting any news. They would only be able to air "informative" programs on health, education, sports, population, weather, road and transport conditions and similar development topics.
"Effectively, the FM stations can only air government capsules and notices on health, agriculture, etc," explained Shiva Gaunle, chief reporter of the fortnightly 'Himal Khabarpatrika' and vice-president, central region of the Federation of Nepalese Journalists (FNJ).
The new law may take the wind out of the writ filed by a lawyer challenging the government ban on news broadcasts by FM community radio stations. A similar ban imposed about four years ago was annulled by a Supreme Court verdict, terming the ban illegal. More significantly, the apex court then had then ruled that the electronic media enjoys similar rights as newspapers, as guaranteed under the press freedom clause in the constitution.
"The entire FM community will be paralysed if these provisions are implemented," said Gopal Guragain, the managing director of Communications Corner, the largest network of community radio stations in Nepal. The network covers at least 70 per cent of the grassroots population in rural areas of Nepal.
Moreover, under the new provisions, the radio stations cannot broadcast a program simultaneously from different centers and stations without seeking prior approval from the government for up-linking facilities.
Two months before heavily armed soldiers walked into the studio of the Communications Corner on Feb. 1 to shut down its transmission, the private FM radio network had started its own 6 am to 11 pm hourly news channel, called 'Kaya Kairan' ('Head to Toe'). It was modelled after the 'BBC' news, every hour, on the hour.
Silence is all that marks the station now. "It is end of the road for FM stations if the law comes into effect," said Guragain.
The legal advisor of the government, Attorney-General Pawan Kumar Jha, however, rejected the talk of muzzling press freedom.
"These amendments are for regulating the media, not for curbing it," he said at a talk program on the new law in Kathmandu on Saturday. "No one can have unbridled freedom."
But the media community sees more restrictions in the days ahead.
"This is an experiment," warned Taranath Dahal, the ex-president of the Federation of Nepalese Journalists, the umbrella organization of journalists in Nepal. "We will be seeing more repressive measures against the press."
Dahal added the latest restrictive provisions would only worsen the existing self-censorship.

I just gave a talk about the history of candy at the Historical Society in Philadelphia. The most amazing aspect of the "City of Brotherly Love," more than the architecture, the ports, or the gardens, is the people. Sitting curbside at a Cuban restaurant afterwards, I watched the parade of humanity go by: Muslim women with hijabs, Latino families with dark-eyed children, a Vietnamese cook in chief's whites, European American students chatting at a nearby café, and two African American workers with key-laden rings at their hips.
As for candy – for most people, candy is a metaphor, a metaphor based on the experience of love. For generations, grandmothers have fished sweets from their purses for eager grandchildren; lovers have shared chocolates in ribbon-wrapped boxes; and on occasion children have given candy to their teachers, bosses to their secretaries, and friends to each other. They are the stuff of birthday parties and weddings: they are us.
You could also say that our diversity is a metaphor for sweets, but it's more literal than that. Chocolate originated in Mesoamerica and was eaten by Native Americans, long prepared with sugar from India and spices from Asia, or as a coating on Mediterranean almonds, British raisins, and North African coffee beans, first consumed by Muslim men. The hard candies were European and jellies from the ancient Arabic Apothecaries. The brittle came with the Irish fleeing starvation, while the peanut traveled from Argentina to Africa then back on slave ships whose struggling inhabitants produced the sugar with the strength of survivors, which they were.
We owe them, all of them, gratitude. They are the sea of inhabitants in Philadelphia, new arrivals and countless generations. That's it. Love. Brotherly, sisterly and for all time.

Josh sits on the shore of the island, the dog in his lap. The sun begins to rise. A small boat comes around the corner. Josh cries out. It is British, commanded by Kelly. The boat comes to the shore and the men take Josh and the dog aboard. They head for the Canadian side. A flurry of snow rises. And all turns white.
Josh turns back to the Caroline. It is some distance away now. The glow of its death fills the horizon. The fog has risen. Josh cannot see the stranger aboard. And then suddenly the glow has gone as the Caroline has slipped over the falls.
Fog. Josh battles his way through the water. Suddenly his hand falls on a rock. He grabs it. And pulls himself out of the fog. He has found an island. Looking back through the fog he spots the stranger, still on the boat. The boat is all a fire.
The stranger bends over his dog. Whispers in his ear. A moment later the dog jumps into the river. The current is so strong that it takes all the dog's energy to swim. Josh can see that the dog won't make the island so he jumps into the water and grabs the animal, pulling him ashore. The dog lies on the beach, gasping for breath.
The stranger moves around the burning ship looking for Josh. He hears barking. General comes running up to him. The stranger rubs his collar.
The dog takes off. the boat has begun to drift into a thick fog. The stranger hears a man screaming. He runs up the deck of the boat and finds the General all over a fallen Josh.
The dog gets off Josh who climbs to his feet.
The stranger looks around. There is only the mist, a fog with a roar. All about him the boat burns. Suddenly he realizes that there may be no escape from death. As he turns back to Josh, the runaway slave leaps off the boat into the mist.
A group of rebels takes a stand on the ship Caroline. The stranger has been dragged there by some of the rebels.
The stranger turns to one of the rebels, McGregor.
McGregor thinks for a minute then cuts him loose. He hands the stranger a gun and then turns back to firing on the British. The stranger returns fire as well. As he loads he looks around for any sign of Josh and his dog. He spots Josh further down on the boat firing at the British. The British throw torches onto the Caroline. The ship begins to burn. The stranger sneaks off and cuts the rope the have tied the ship to the dock. It begins to slip away from the dock and drift down the river. Some of the rebels who notice the boats departure, jump from it and swim to shore where they are picked up by the British. McGregor steps up to the stranger.
The stranger turns his gun on McGregor and fires. McGregor crumbles to the ground.
Out of the fog, small boats filled with British troops appear. Before the rebels know it the British that have landed are attacking them. The rebels set up a stubborn defense. But they are facing increasingly dangerous odds. Many are killed or wounded in the initial attack by the British led by Captain Kelly. And the rebels are outflanked. Some of them take off in the small boats near the dock. Others run off into the nearby woods of the island.
The first British attack begins near a mill. From the far end of the island. The crack of guns doesn't worry the men in the camp where Joshua and the stranger are settled. The rebels have anticipated this attack and make a stand. The stranger looks around. He knows a second attack will begin soon.


Ten designs for the new hotel-residential building at 65 Federal Street were created by London-based architects Zaha Hadid, locals Warren and Mahoney, and international firms Woods Bagot, Cox Architecture, and Elenberg Fraser.
The winning design is a building for the people – from its street level "Market Place" to its roof top Zen Garden.
Designed by Melbourne-based architects Woods Bagot, in partnership with local New Zealand firm Peddle Thorp, the building is a sleek and crystalline 48-level tower that will stand around 180m high.
The multi-use high-rise will have 226 apartments, a 233-room 5-star hotel, and a ground floor Market Place with everything from vendors selling local produce through to eateries and bars.
ICD Property will bring the Woods Bagot design to life on the Federal St site with the $200 million project expected to be completed around 2022.

EUROCONTROL and European partners provide significant contribution during ICAO Global Runway Safety Symposium
Posted: 30 May 2011 | EUROCONTROL | No comments yet
EUROCONTROL, European Commission, EASA & ECAC address the issue of runway safety…
At the ICAO Global Runway Safety Symposium, which took place in Montreal on 24-26 May, EUROCONTROL together with the European Commission, EASA and ECAC addressed the issue of runway safety (both incursion and excursion), one of the top safety risk areas in aviation. 450 participants attended this event which aimed at coordinating a global effort and identifying a common framework for improving runway safety.
The workshop addressed the following topics:
measuring runway safety,
harvesting the full power of sharing safety data,
harmonisation issues and collaborative responses to prevent and mitigate incursions and excursions.
It also identified that local runway safety teams are key to implementing the measures to prevent runway incursions and excursions such as those found in the new European Action Plan for the Prevention of Runway Incursions. Nancy Graham, President of the Air Navigation Board of ICAO, proposed the practice of solving local issues at an aerodrome through a multi-disciplinary team as a best practice to be repeated across the ICAO regions.
"Every airport is different and that means solutions have to be relevant for every case. But that doesn't mean that each airport should work totally in isolation. We can still learn from each other – both in understanding the problems and in developing solutions", said Bo Redeborn, Principle Director ATM at EUROCONTROL. "We can and we should harmonise globally. Training is also best done jointly – to ensure consistency of approach. After all, most pilots do have this strange habit of visiting more than one airport," he added.
An updated version of the European Action Plan for the Prevention of Runway incursions, written by operational experts and based on lessons learned was issued in advance of this workshop; it is one example of the excellent work undertaken by individual airports, states and international bodies such as IFALPA, IFATCA, ACI, CANSO, the Flight Safety Foundation and EUROCONTROL.
Another example is SKYbrary a most trustworthy source of safety knowledge that brings to the finger tips of aviation experts various toolkits, training packages, documentation, reports, and safety videos.
"I am very much in favour of setting safety performance targets because these drive improvements. However we should be cautious in what we select as indicators and targets not to destroy all the hard work of safety and operational experts.

Obama, on last trip to Europe, warns against nationalism
U.S. President Barack Obama, in Greece at the start of a farewell tour of Europe and stung by the surprise election victory of Donald Trump, warns against a rise in nationalism, saying a backlash against globalization had stoked populist movements at home and abroad. Rough Cut (no reporter narration).
ROUGH CUT - NO REPORTER NARRATION STORY: U.S. President Barack Obama, stung by the surprise victory of Donald Trump in last week's U.S. election, warned on Tuesday (Nov. 16) against a rise in nationalism and said a backlash against globalization had stoked populist movements at home and abroad. In Greece at the start of a farewell tour of Europe, Obama said distrust of elites and governing institutions had fed success in the U.S. election for Senator Bernie Sanders, who challenged Hillary Clinton in a drawn-out Democratic primary contest, and for Trump, a former reality TV star who bested the former secretary of state in the U.S. presidential race. Though he rejected a direct comparison between the U.S. election and Britain's "Brexit" referendum in June to leave the European Union, Obama said the common theme of antipathy to globalization was at play, spurring populist movements on the left and right in Europe. Trump garnered support on the back of promises to build a wall on the U.S. border with Mexico, ban Muslims temporarily from entering the United States and rip up trade deals that he said had hurt American workers. Obama, who campaigned vigorously for Clinton, opposed those positions and is fighting now to keep his legacy accomplishments on healthcare, climate change, and nuclear diplomacy alive in the face of Trump's promises to dismantle them.

Moovo, Delhi based On-Demand Logistics Platform has acquired another startup in similar domain to expand its reach into the states of Bihar and Jharkhand. The acquired startup, GoGoods, based out of Patna, will see its 5 member team joining Moovo post acquisition. The deal is an all-stock one, details of which have not been shared.
GoGoods was started by Anurag Satyarth and Nishant Kumar. It is an online aggregator for bigger commercial vehicles including trucks and tankers. It provides services in Ranchi and Patna to the industrial clients to move bigger sized shipments. The aggregated sample space is pretty decent yet, as the startup claims to have around 500 trucks on the platform owned by various companies and individuals. It was started in 2014.
On the other hand, Moovo also started operations in 2014, however, it has seen a great amount of traction lately. Claiming a fleet of over 7000 vehicles, it provides commercial vehicles in all categories including tempo, mini-truck and bigger trucks. It takes orders via call center, website or the mobile app and provides both, intercity and intra-city transport. Currently operating in Delhi, Kolkata, Kanpur and Bhubaneswar, it claims to send the booked vehicle in under 30 minutes.
Moovo claims to be a profitable startup at the moment and it charges in the range of 5-15% of the total transaction value. It had raised seed funding from YouWeCan Ventures last year and hopes for more acquisitions in the coming time to register a nation wide presence.


LAFFER CURVE: The graphical inverted-U relation between tax rates and total tax collections by government. Developed by economist Arthur Laffer, the Laffer curve formed a key theoretical foundation for supply-side economics of President Reagan during the 1980s. It is based on the notion that government collects zero revenue if the tax rate is 0% and if the tax rate is 100%. At a 100% tax rate no one has the incentive to work, produce, and earn income, so there is no income to tax. As such, the optimum tax rate, in which government revenue is maximized, lies somewhere between 0% and 100%. This generates a curve shaped like and inverted U, rising from zero to a peak, then falling back to zero. If the economy is operating to the right of the peak, then government revenue can be increased by decreasing the tax rate. This was used to justify supply-side economic policies during the Reagan Administration, especially the Economic Recovery Tax Act of 1981 (Kemp-Roth Act).

Fraud, theft and money laundering by OPP union's top brass

RCMP search OPP union offices
OPP Association president and vice-president both take voluntary leaves of absence
The RCMP has searched offices of the top Ontario Provincial Police union leaders as part of a criminal investigation, prompting the senior officials to step aside.
Ontario Provincial Police Association president Jim Christie and vice-president Martin Bain have taken voluntary leaves of absence following the RCMP search of their offices in Barrie on Friday, the union said in a statement Monday.
The union's chief administrative officer, whose office was also searched by the RCMP, has been placed on administrative leave.
RCMP Const. Jean Juneau said there is an open investigation into "individuals associated to the Ontario Provincial Police Association," but he would not confirm which individuals or the nature of the investigation.
"We received a complaint and to validate or to explore the information received on that complaint we needed to do search warrants," he said. "I can tell you there are absolutely no charges pending right now."
The investigation is in its preliminary stages, Juneau said. The RCMP went to Ontario Superior Court to obtain search warrants, but those documents have been sealed, he said.
The Ontario Provincial Police Association said in a statement it has fully co-operated with the criminal investigation by handing over items identified in the search warrant.
"The RCMP is conducting a criminal investigation and believed that evidence to support its investigation could be found in the OPP Association head office as well as the offices of president Christie, vice-president Bain and CAO (Karl) Walsh," it said.
"The association is in the process of obtaining specialized independent legal advice with respect to this matter."
Association directors Doug Lewis and Todd Provost are now the acting president and vice-president. Michael Briscoe becomes the acting chief administrative officer.
The provincial police began bargaining with Ontario last month, but the police association would not say what effect the leaves of absence would have on the negotiation process.
A spokeswoman for Treasury Board president Deb Matthews said the government has not received a request from the OPPA to delay bargaining.

OPP union officials step aside in wake of RCMP raid
An RCMP raid on the association representing Ontario Provincial Police officers has led to three senior union officials voluntarily stepping aside.
Three senior Ontario Provincial Police union officials — one a former Liberal candidate — have stepped aside in the wake of an RCMP criminal probe.
The dramatic move Monday followed a raid Friday by the Mounties who swooped in to the OPP Association headquarters in Barrie armed with a search warrant.
Sources close to the association told the Star that RCMP investigators are examining financial matters at the police union.
RCMP Const. Jean Juneau said the search warrant has been ordered sealed by an Ontario Superior Court judge.
That means details of evidence sought by the Mounties cannot yet be made public.
But Juneau emphasized "no charges are imminent" in an investigation that began only recently.
He would not comment further on the warrant, saying officers were searching for "evidence that could help in our investigation."
"We'll see later on if charges are deemed necessary."
Association president Jim Christie, vice-president Martin Bain, and chief administrative officer Karl Walsh "have taken voluntary leaves of absence," the union said in a statement.
Walsh, who was the provincial Liberal candidate in Barrie during the 2011 election, has been placed on administrative leave by the OPPA's board of directors.
"The RCMP is conducting a criminal investigation and believed that evidence to support its investigation could be found in the OPP Association Head Office as well as the offices of president Christie, vice president Bain and CAO Walsh," the OPPA said.
On his LinkedIn profile, Walsh also identifies himself as a director of the Ontario Pension Board, which administers the $18-billion Public Service Pension Plan sponsored by the Ontario government.
He also served as president of the OPPA from October 2005 to March 2011, when he became the association's chief administrative officer, responsible for its then $70-million budget.
Christie made headlines in last June's provincial election when he had the union actively campaign against then Progressive Conservative leader Tim Hudak.
"For the first time in the 60-year history of the OPPA, Tim Hudak has given us no choice but to engage in a publicity campaign during an election," Christie said at the time.
The union released two videos attacking the Tories for wanting to cancel OPP contracts, reduce pay, and cut pension plans for new recruits.
Their activism was helpful to Premier Kathleen Wynne's Liberals in the June 12 election, though Christie played down that aspect of the OPPA's politicking.
"These ads do not serve as an endorsement for the Liberals or the NDP. This also does not mean that we don't respect and work well with many in the Conservative caucus. We just don't want this Conservative as premier."
In the wake of the RCMP warrant, the OPPA said it is "in the process of obtaining specialized independent legal advice with respect to this matter" and will not be commenting further.
"The association has fully co-operated with the RCMP investigation by providing them with the items identified in their search warrant," the union said in its statement.
"These actions should not be considered admissions or implications of wrongdoing or liability by anyone or by the association. The association has no knowledge of any charges being laid against any persons at this time."
There are about 6,200 uniformed and 3,600 civilian members of the OPPA, which is currently in contract talks with the provincial government.
With the temporary departure of Christie, Bain, and Walsh — who did not immediately respond to emails from the Star — Doug Lewis will act as president, Todd Provost will serve as acting vice-president, and Michael Briscoe will step as CAO.

RCMP search head office of OPP Association as part of criminal investigation
RCMP have raided the offices of the Ontario Provincial Police Association as part of a criminal investigation.
Mounties seized items for their investigation when they executed several search warrants on Friday at the head office of the OPPA — the union which represents rank-and-file OPP officers — in Barrie.
"The RCMP is investigating the OPP Association, but the search warrant is sealed and we aren't revealing its contents," RCMP spokesman Const. Jean Juneau said Monday.
"We are in the very early stages and there are no charges pending."
The search warrant also included the offices of OPPA president Jim Christie, vice-president Martin Bain and chief administrative officer Karl Walsh.
Christie and Bain have taken a voluntary leave of absence. Walsh has been placed on an administrative leave by the association's board of directors.
"These actions should not be considered admissions or implications of wrong doing or liability by anyone or by the association. The association has no knowledge of any charges being laid against any person at this time," an OPPA release said.
"The association has fully cooperated with the RCMP investigation by providing them with the items identified in their search warrant."
OPPA spokesman Josh Jutras said the organization is obtaining legal advice on the matter.
Lauren Callighen, a spokesman for Community Safety Minister Yasir Naqvi, said the investigation is an "active police matter" so the ministry will not comment.
"The OPP and the OPP Association operate entirely independently," she said.
Once the news broke, Tory MPP Lisa MacLeod tweeted, "That would be the same OPPA that ran attack ads for (Premier Kathleen) Wynne's Liberals in June. Meanwhile there are 4 investigations into her government."
The OPPA spent $41,570, out of $200,000 in available funds, to advertise in last June's provincial election, according to filings with Elections Ontario.

RCMP searches offices of OPP association
RCMP searches offices of OPP association as part of probe into alleged criminal misconduct
The Mounties are investigating allegations of criminal misconduct involving senior people connected to the Ontario Provincial Police Association (OPPA), the body that represents 9,000 employees.
As a result of a complaint, 13 search warrants were executed Friday at multiple locations, including at the police union's head office in Barrie and at people's homes, Const. Jean Juneau, a spokesman for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, said Monday. He declined to describe the nature of the allegations.
However, CTV Barrie was reporting that sources said the investigation relates to allegations of theft, fraud, criminal breach of trust, laundering proceeds of crime and fraudulent concealment.
The association has fully cooperated with the RCMP investigation by providing them with the items identified in their search warrant
Const. Juneau said there have been no arrests or charges. All court records related to the case are under seal.
"The investigation is in the early stages," he said. "We want to validate any allegation that is brought to us as a complaint."
The association confirmed its headquarters had been searched, as well as the offices of Jim Christie, the president, Martin Bain, the vice-president, and Karl Walsh, the chief administrative officer.
"The RCMP is conducting a criminal investigation and believed that evidence to support its investigation could be found in the OPP Association Head Office as well as the offices of President Christie, Vice-President Bain and CAO Walsh," the association said in a statement.
It added it is co-operating with the RCMP and has given investigators items listed in the search warrant.
Mr. Christie and Mr. Bain, both OPP officers, have taken voluntary leaves of absence. The board of directors has placed Mr. Walsh on administrative leave.
"These actions should not be considered admissions or implications of wrongdoing or liability by anyone or by the association," the OPPA statement said, adding it is obtaining specialized independent legal advice.
The police association made headlines in June when it attacked Tim Hudak, then-leader of the Ontario Progressive Conservatives.
For the first time in its 60-year history, it launched two 15-second political ads, urging people not to vote for him in the provincial election.
"His positions on arbitration, public-sector pensions and further wage freezes, among other issues, are unacceptable to our members who put their lives on the line for their communities every day," Mr. Christie said at the time.
"Let me be clear. These ads do not serve as an endorsement for the Liberals or the [New Democratic Party]. This also does not mean that we don't respect and work well with many in the Conservative caucus. We just don't want this Conservative as premier."
Mr. Hudak stepped down as party leader after Kathleen Wynne and the Liberals won a majority victory.
OPP Deputy Commissioner Scott Tod said the agency was notified of the investigation Monday and could not comment on the case or the status of Messrs. Christie and Bain.
Mr. Walsh was a provincial Liberal candidate in Barrie during the 2011 election.
Doug Lewis is now the association's acting president.

RCMP search OPP union office in Barrie as part of criminal investigation
Three senior members of the Ontario Provincial Police Association are off the job, following a search of the union's office in Barrie by the RCMP.
In a statement, the OPPA says RCMP officers executed a search warrant on Friday and obtained items from the head office, which included the offices of OPPA president Jim Christie, vice president Martin Bain and chief administrative officer Karl Walsh. The search was part of a criminal investigation.
The RCMP confirms to CTV News that officers also executed search warrants at houses. However, due to the search warrants being sealed, RCMP would not confirm which residences and who they are owned by.
The association says they are cooperating with the RCMP investigation. Both Christie and Bain have taken voluntary leaves of absence, while Walsh has been placed on administrative leave by the OPPA board of directors.
"It's not the Ontario Provincial Police Association, nor the OPP who are under investigation, it's individuals associated to the association," says RCMP Const. Jean Juneau.
However, sources indicate the Mounties are acting on a complaint and are looking into allegations of theft, fraud, criminal breach of trust, laundering proceeds of crime and fraudulent concealment.
At this point the RCMP says charges haven't been laid, but investigators are continuing to go through all the evidence seized from the union offices.
The OPPA is the union that represents Ontario Provincial Police officers.

OPP Association head office in Barrie raided
by Thomas » Tue Mar 10, 2015 4:37 pm
RCMP officers raided the Ontario Provincial Police Association (OPPA) headquarters in Barrie, Friday.
The Mounties executed 13 search warrants from the Superior Court of Justice in Toronto at the OPP's union office on Ferris Lane at 8:30 a.m., pertaining directly to the offices of president and CEO Jim Christie, vice-president Martin Bain and CAO Karl Walsh.
Christie and Bain have taken voluntary leaves of absence from the OPPA, and Walsh has been placed on administrative leave by the association's board of directors.
"No, be sure that it has nothing to do with the Ontario Provincial Police Corporation or the Ontario Provincial Police Association," said Const. Jean Juneau, a spokesman with the RCMP. "It has nothing to do with either of them. It's individuals within."
Juneau said the search warrants have been sealed so the national police service will not be discussing the details prior to the investigation's completion.
Juneau could not comment on the type of investigation, but did say no charges have been laid.
"We have opened an investigation right now and (will) try to find out, with the search warrants, if there's any validity in the complaint we received," Juneau said.
No information was provided about who lodged the complaint.
"This investigation is just starting for us, but I don't remember having any officer saying who we got a complaint from because it would affect the investigation. Repercussions could be going towards that individual," Juneau said. "That's why we never, never, discuss any information on who we got the complaint from."
Juneau said that he believes the investigation started earlier this year, but couldn't go further until the search warrants were executed.
According to an OPPA official, leaves of absence should not be considered admissions of guilt or implications of wrongdoing or liability.
The OPPA's Josh Jutras said no additional information was being released and would not comment further on the RCMP investigation.
Acting president Doug Lewis, acting vice-president Todd Provost and the board of directors will continue the OPPA's day-to-day operations.
Walsh was the provincial Liberal candidate for the Barrie riding in the 2011 Ontario election, losing to Tory Rod Jackson. At the time, Walsh had been a police officer for 14 years and served in the Canadian Forces for 14 years. He had led the OPPA as president for two terms.
The OPPA celebrated its 60 years of service last October, Jutras said. The police union represents approximately 6,200 uniformed members, as well as 3,600 civilian staff.
OPP Sgt. Peter Leon said he was aware of RCMP investigation, but had no further comment.
Lauren Callighen , a spokesman for Community Safety Minister Yasir Naqvi, said the investigation is an "active police matter" so the ministry will not comment.
Once the news broke, Tory MPP Lisa MacLeod tweeted, "That would be the same OPPA that ran attack ads for (Premier Kathleen) Wynne's Liberals in June. Meanwhile there are 4 investigations into her government."

RCMP probe won't affect OPP service: Gov't
by Thomas » Wed Mar 11, 2015 3:35 am
TORONTO - An RCMP investigation into the union representing members of the OPP won't impact the service provided by officers, Community Safety Minister Yasir Naqvi says.
"It's independent from the Ontario Provincial Police itself," the minister said Tuesday. "We have full confidence on the OPP's capacity and capability to do the job. They are made up of professional police officers and they will continue to operate as they've always done with utmost professionalism and diligence."
Premier Kathleen Wynne refused to comment Tuesday on the investigation of the Ontario Provincial Police Association (OPPA).
"It's a situation that obviously is under investigation by the RCMP," Wynne said. "I just don't have any more information."
RCMP investigators executed a search warrant Friday at the OPPA headquarters in Barrie.
OPPA president Jim Christie and vice-president Martin Bain took a voluntary leave of absence.
Chief administrative officer Karl Walsh was placed on administrative leave, according to an OPPA news release.
Reached by the Toronto Sun's Tracy McLaughlin Tuesday, Walsh declined comment: "I have nothing to say."
Progressive Conservative MPP Steve Clark said the OPPA leaders, unlike senior Liberals under investigation for alleged bribery in the Sudbury byelection, did the right thing by removing themselves.
Opposition MPPs have repeatedly demanded that Wynne's chief of staff Pat Sorbara and Liberal organizer Gerry Lougheed Jr. be removed from their public duties while under investigation.
"There's an opportunity for the government to show some integrity ... They should follow the lead of the OPPA," Clark said.
Naqvi said no charges have been laid in the Sudbury investigation.
"We have to remember that we have presumption of innocence in our system of democracy, an individual is innocent until proven guilty," Naqvi said.
RCMP officers have not laid any charges in the OPPA probe.
Meanwhile, Naqvi said ongoing collective bargaining with the OPPA continues under new union leadership.

RCMP probe turns attention to Toronto-based travel agency

RCMP probe into OPP union turns attention to Toronto-based travel agency
Mounties are looking into the activities of a Toronto-based travel agency that caters to police and other first responders as part of a wider criminal investigation into people connected to the union representing Ontario Provincial Police officers, the National Post has learned.
First Response Travel Group states in its marketing materials that it offers special rates for police officers, firefighters and paramedics, and identifies itself as a "Division of Leximco." Corporate records show that a director of Leximco Ltd. is Andrew McKay, a Toronto lawyer whose client list includes a number of police associations, including the OPP Association.
Police were observed at Mr. McKay's downtown Toronto offices last Friday, the same day that RCMP executed search warrants at the headquarters of the OPP Association in Barrie, Ont., and at people's homes. Three senior members of the association subsequently stepped aside.
There have been no arrests or charges laid and police have not accused any individuals of wrongdoing. The reasons why the RCMP launched its investigation and conducted the searches is still sealed by the court.
"I understand that the RCMP is conducting an investigation into a complaint and that investigation is ongoing," Mr. McKay said in an email. "As such, it would be improper for me to comment."
Online biographical information shows that Mr. McKay is a former Toronto police investigator. As a lawyer, he specializes in representing police, doctors, lawyers and professional athletes accused of wrongdoing. His LinkedIn profile states that he also operates Amax Security Solutions, a security and investigations company, and Amax Intelligence, a fraud-mitigation company.
Corporate records list him as a director of Amax, which shares office space with Mr. McKay's law firm.
A handful of lawyers work at the firm, which is located in a tower on a strip of high-end retail property across from the Royal Ontario Museum on Bloor Street West. Several police officers — some in uniform and some in plain clothes — arrived at the office at the start of the business day Friday, neighbouring tenants said.
Corporate registration documents for Leximco and First Response list a Klara Kozak as an administrator or partner. Her LinkedIn profile says she has been agency owner since May 2014. Reached by phone this week, Ms. Kozak said she was busy with a booking for a client and unable to answer questions about any connection between the agency and the OPP Association.
Two large dogs greeted visitors Wednesday at Leximco's storefront office on Bloor St. West near Islington Ave., where Ms. Kozak declined to answer questions about any police searches, the company's links to the OPPA or Mr. McKay.
"We have no comment," Ms. Kozak said, asking a Post reporter to leave. When asked if someone needed to be a police officer or emergency services worker to book travel through the company, she said no.
Visitors to the First Response website are greeted by an image of a tropical resort and this message: "You Deserve a Holiday. Your job is to make everyone else feel safe and secure. Trust your travel decisions with a team that understands, you need the same." Its website says first responders in Ontario, including the Ontario Provincial Police, Toronto Police Service, Toronto Fire Service and paramedics in Grey County "call us to enjoy preferred travel arrangements."
Sgt. Peter Leon, a spokesman for the OPP, and OPP Deputy Commissioner Scott Tod said this week they had never heard of the agency. Meaghan Gray, a spokeswoman for the Toronto Police, said she had never heard of the agency either.
The website says its agents speak Russian, Ukrainian, Polish, Czech, Spanish and French, and can assist with Russian visas.
First Response says it is registered with the Travel Industry Council of Ontario and lists a registration number of 5007930. A council representative said this week that Leximco is registered under the similar number 50007930, but First Response is not registered with the council.
The First Response Twitter page shows it has issued one tweet, has three followers and is following 22 people. One of them is Jim Christie.
Mr. Christie took a voluntary leave of absence as the president of the OPP Association on Monday in the wake of the police searches at the association's headquarters in Barrie.
Martin Bain, the association's vice-president, also voluntarily stepped aside, and the board of directors placed Karl Walsh, the chief administrative officer, on administrative leave.
The association, which represents 9,000 employees, said in a statement that these actions should not be considered admissions of wrongdoing.
Barrie police this week confirmed that they were called to the association office on Saturday when a staff person became concerned whether certain individuals were allowed to be on the premises or not. The matter was resolved without incident.
Josh Jutras, spokesman for the association, would not answer questions this week about any relationship between the association and the travel agency.
He did say that the law firm of Stikeman Elliott has been retained to provide legal advice for the association. A spokeswoman for the law firm said it had no comment.

OPPA Communique on March 12, 2015
by Thomas » Fri Mar 13, 2015 5:50 am
On March 12, 2015, the Ontario Provincial Police Association issued the following communique to its members:
In an effort to keep our membership informed, the OPP Association would like to provide you with additional information related to the search warrant that was executed at 199 Ferris Lane in Barrie on March 6. The Association would like to point out that the RCMP investigation is in early stages, and that no charges have been laid. The warrant alleges "there are reasonable grounds for believing that the following offences have been committed:"
-	Section 322 Theft, Criminal Code;
-	Section 36 Criminal Breach of Trust, Criminal Code;
-	Section 380 (1) Fraud, Criminal Code;
-	Section 462.31 Laundering the Proceeds of Crime, Criminal Code; and
-	Section 341 Fraudulent Concealment, Criminal Code;
In addition, an internal investigation is being conducted by the independent legal firm of Stikeman Elliott. Counsel from Stikeman Elliot is conducting the investigation under the oversight of the Acting CAO, Michael Briscoe.
The Information to Obtain the search warrant remains sealed by the court. The OPPA will have to advance knowledge of the contents of this document. As such, the Association will not be able to provide any information prior to its release.
The day to day operation of the Association continues with member services being our priority.

I bet this is what it looked like when the OPP realized a few of their 'own' were stealing their pension money:

Congress should forge ahead with efforts to pass a bill to create a national, interoperable health information system.
John Castellani, president of the Business Roundtable, Washington, delivered that message here recently at conference organized by the Employers Council on Flexible Compensation, Washington.
Castellani's group, an association of America's largest corporations, has been a major supporter of congressional efforts to set health information standards, to ease the efforts of doctors, hospitals and insurers to exchange patient medical and billing data electronically.
Completing work on a health information standards bill would bring the benefits of "our digital society to our health care delivery system," Castellani said.
The savings could amount to $165 billion per year, or $2,200 per family, Castellani said.
Both Republicans and Democrats have supported the concept of setting health information standards, and President Bush included a call for national health data standards in his last State of the Union address.
Castellani noted that the United States spent an average of $4,900 per person on health care in 2005, compared with an average of $2,800 in Germany and less than $2,100 in Japan.
Castellani also said Congress should approve legislation to permit the release of 100% of the patient-protected information in the Medicare claims database.
"Increased availability of cost and quality information will lead to a system that is more focused on providing affordable, higher quality care, and the release of the Medicare claims data is an integral part of this goal," Castellani said.

Stratford Caldecott wrote Beauty for Truth's Sake – On the Re-enchantment of Education and I hope that someday a gathering may be held of people who resonate with his ideas and hope to 're-enchant education' at whatever level they serve. Rather than a group of 'education professionals,' this is, in my mind, a group of Catholics vitally interested in their own and others' education. They may be parents, evangelists, school teachers, autodidacts, priests, lay persons, college professors, authors, and artists (in fact, wouldn't we want all those groups represented??).
We (now I'm dreaming of being there with you, whoever you are) would not be sorted by age or any other category, but would bring whatever variations we possess to contribute toward a collaborative conversation. I'm watching Second Spring, Caldecott's network of like-minded souls, continuing to be served and connected by the work of his widow, Leonie, to see if something like what I imagine happens through their Second Spring Journal and relationships among them. Whenever, however, if-ever this happens, I want to be there!
Let me know if you loved Stratford's books, as I did, or if you're interested in this idea, or if the phrase 'enchanted education' brings different ideas to mind for you. What are you longing for??? I would truly, actually, really love to know!


Calculates exclusive OR (XOR) on data in str1 and str2 arguments.
Result of logical XOR operation.
This function treats data in str1 and str2 as two byte arrays. Logical XOR operation is performed on corresponding byte pairs (first byte of str1 XOR first byte of str2, etc.).
If one of the arguments contains less bytes, then this argument is padded with zeroes prior to performing logical XOR operation.

PRINCE — Sign O' The Times (Remastered) (Warners)
Some observations about this epic package - the biggest iteration of which is over 8 hours long (not including the bonus DVD) - it's incredibly well executed, smart, thoughtful, insightful - a proper fucking masterclass in how to go about painstakingly assembling and reissuing archival material (without getting into a discussion about whether or not Prince would have wanted these vaulted tunes to see the light of day). The good news is that even if you go for the most threadbare version here, you'll be in possession of the best this set has to offer. Two things that shine out above everything else here; Prince was a really good editor of his own work, the version of Sign O The Times that saw the light of day is stronger than any of the proposed other iterations of it - better then the Camille album would have been, better than Crystal Ball, better than Dream Factory - although the Vault tracks included in the bumper edition allow you to assemble any one of those albums for the first time using official masters. The tunes themselves - as much as 'The Ballad Of Dorothy Parker (With Horns)' is just totally fucking incredible to hear - the version you know is infinitely superior, and being able to witness Prince's editing process is one of the great pleasures of this set. Same thing goes for 'Forever In My Life' - what was almost a country pop tune ended up as one of the greatest linndrumm ballads ever made - and now you can hear what could have been, and thankfully wasn't. Secondly - the mastering - by Bernie Grundman - is properly astonishing, especially if you grew up with an original version. Grundman doesn't just go for loudness here - although the master is significantly louder than the version you'll know - the detail, space and lightness of touch is the thing that elevates this set to absolute greatness. Listening to the remastered version of 'Forever In My Life' - just as one example - will alter yr perspective on pretty much everything. Also - what a fucking tune. The vault stuff - there is about 4 hours of it - a complete dream come true. The best of it - 'Emotional Pump' (a sort of 'Feel U Up' variant), 'Big Tall Wall' (fucking drums!), The Cocoa Boys (slow, syrup horn funk), 'Rebirth Of The Flesh Original Outro' (Camille missing piece) - to be honest - it's all pretty amazing, even 'Wally' is on this - surely the most elusive of all the vaulted tracks. Anyway, if yr an obsessive - you'll need the bumper set, if yr a newb - start with the basic remaster - either way, after running through all 8 hours three times in 2 days, we feel v strongly once again that the original version of this album - benefitting massively from this new remaster - is really one of the greatest ever made - and what we thought could never be improved on, now somehow sounds better than ever before.

William Basinski Lamentations Temporary Residence Ltd. Modern Classical / Ambient
William Basinski — Lamentations (Temporary Residence Ltd.)
The master of the tape loop returns with "Lamentations", yet another collection of eroded drone for low-light dreamers, captured and constructed from tape loops and studies from Basinski's archives – dating back to 1979 – Lamentations is over forty years of mournful sighs meticulously crafted into songs. They are shaped by the inevitable passage of time and the indisputable collapsing of space – and their collective resonance is infinite and eternal. Those familiar with Basinski's catalog won't find a lot new here - not a complaint - like the molasses-slow shots that made David Lynch's "Twin Peaks: The Return" so eerily affecting, Basinski's spine-chilling repetition drags u into a state of near-hypnosis, focusing on the tiny details as they crumble in and out of view. "Lamentations" is the perfect title; we've been spinning this on repeat as the constant chatter of apocalyptic news bubbles thru social media and every newsreel across the planet. It's hard to tell exactly what Basinski is lamenting but it doesn't really matter - each track sounds like a fragment of our past slowly fading from view. As "The Disintegration Loops" mourned a New York City that had been lost, "Lamentations" feels like a memorial for something else huge and all-encompassing. Nostalgia's a hell of a drug. more

Can't get this guy outta my head. He's really good drawing practice.
Not that he's swimming in it, I just need to eat breakfast. I like the font you used for his name.
On a completely unrelated note, is Irrista not a great character name? I love these checking-to-make-sure-you're-not-a-robot things blogger makes us do to post comments.
Thanks for the words of wisdom! I like the font, too. I think it's called, like, "appendix" or "angel" or something.
Those two things are very different.
About you not being a robot: I know! It's the same system Google uses, and it's the most beautiful word-generator I've ever run into. Character names are probably the best use of it, but they're just really nice and natural-sounding. Like, "Hey, somebody, somewhere, might actually say this and mean it as a word of some sort." It's not so much like... "pfargtl." You know? Like there aren't xs and fs next to each other. They are say-able. They "sound" right.
PPS We could each do one and I could post 'em both up! That'd be fun, if you have any access to a scanner.

Indians send RHP Cody Anderson to Triple-A Columbus
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) The Cleveland Indians have optioned right-hander Cody Anderson to Triple-A Columbus.
Cleverland made the move before Wednesday's series finale against Minnesota. The team had high hopes for Anderson coming into the season and he could have been in position to make a bigger contribution after starter Carlos Carrasco went down with a hamstring injury. But Anderson is 0-1 with a 7.65 ERA in four starts.
The Indians have off days on Thursday and Monday, meaning they don't have a need for a fifth starter for the next 10 days. Indians manager Terry Francona said the plan is to let Anderson work on some mechanical adjustments in his start down in Columbus and then rejoin the Indians the next time they need a fifth starter.
Cleveland recalled left-hander Kyle Crockett to fill the roster spot.


Back in the day, all the church ladies made great recipes that they knew by heart, just as well as they knew every word to the songs in the Broadman Hymnal. Tables were laden with inimitable fried chicken, country ham, mashed potatoes, green bean and corn dishes, deviled eggs (the more religious called them "angeled eggs" so as not to invoke evil), and sparkling, fruit-filled Jello salads (not a dessert–it was a "salad"). But where we kids focused was the array of mouth-watering pies, cakes and cookies.

Oklahoma Senate Candidate Lahmeyer Issues Religious Vaccine Exemptions to Threatened Americans
by admin March 4, 2022 0 comment
The US Senate candidate challenging anti-Trump and pro-BLM Oklahoma Senator James Lankford has stepped up during the COVID pandemic to issue religious-based exemptions for over 50,000 Americans who refuse to inject themselves with the experimental vaccine. Late last year he had stated in a video that went viral that he had already crossed the 35,000 mark.
According to Jackson Lahmeyer's more recent statements, and remarks by his political advisor Roger Stone, he has continued to actively help people from all states escape tyrannical orders from health officials that seek to force them to become vaxxed and boosted to participate in public life or retain employment. Despite many companies and public agencies dropping vaccination requirements, many Democrat-run cities and companies are continuing to demand vaccinations plus boosters.
The upstart candidate is running a strong campaign for the United States Senate in the Sooner State, capturing support from thousands of small-dollar donors from across America who are fed up with RINO Republicans like Lankford who talk a big game about supporting President Trump and the America First movement, but ultimately fold in the most important moments.
Lankford famously apologized to the domestic terrorist group known as Black Lives Matter and voted to certify the fraudulent 2020 election. He also was initially supportive, and openly okay, with the second sham impeachment of President Donald J. Trump.
And when it comes to the political prisoners who are being held in solitary confinement amidst horrific conditions, Lankford's been MIA.
In fact, he's been so impotent that the Oklahoma GOP recently censured him and called on President Trump to not endorse his re-election campaign, which was first reported on The Gateway Pundit.
EXCLUSIVE: Oklahoma GOP Chair Sends President Trump Letter Encouraging Him Not to Endorse Senator Lankford for Reelection
When it comes to Lahmeyer's efforts to provide exemptions to Americans in order to protect them against forced vaccinations, he told TGP that it was simply "the right thing to do." Anyone from any state who needs an exemption can go right onto his website and fill out a form and one will be emailed to you.
"Our medical freedoms and bodily autonomy are vitally important. The principles of freedom and liberty are ever apparent in our founding documents and biblical text. This was not a hard decision for me. We are judged by our actions and I chose to act because I wanted Oklahomans to know that I will not just talk about defending their rights, but that I will take decisive action in protecting their freedoms across the board," Lahmeyer explained.
Lahmeyer was also recently endorsed by General Michael Flynn, who will appear with Lahmeyer and Trump advisor Roger Stone at a series of rallies for his US Senate campaign later this week.
You can learn more about his campaign for United States Senate and/or request a religious exemption by clicking here.
