New York City Is Denying the Religious Freedom of Its Employees and Citizens

From the educatorsforfreedom.com website:

Docket No. 21-2711https://www.google.com/amp/s/dockets.justia.com/docket/new-york/nysdce/1:2021cv08773/568661%3fampAll contributions will go toward protecting religious freedom rights in the workplace. We have been denied our Constitutional right, freedom of religion, by our employer the NYC Department of Education, the City of New York and the NYC Health Commissioner. This is not only affecting us, but every single citizen of the United States. A very concerning precedent has been set here in NYC, as well as across the country and we MUST STOP it now. If we don’t stand up and fight for our basic Constitutional rights now, it will affect all of us, our children, and families in the future. The Religious Exemption process they forced us to partake in was unconstitutional, illegal, unfair, blatantly discriminatory, and without due process, which resulted in denials of our religious exemptions. Now we are all on unpaid leave, have a deadline to lose our health insurance benefits, and were told that we may not work or collect unemployment. Through all of this, we are still willing to fight this fight to maintain our constitutional rights for the greater good, for all of you and generations to come. This comes with a high monetary cost, and we need all the help we can get. We are looking to take it to the highest court of our nation. The attorneys representing us specialize in religious law and will pursue the suit based on our first amendment right. If we win this case, everyone wins, even if you’re not part of the lawsuit. It will set a precedent across our country that will help every single person being denied their First Amendment right.  Let’s make history!

Deplorable Conditions at the DC Jail for Jan. 6 detainees

Source: The World Tribune

Degrave’s Original Letter

On Jan. 6, 2021, Nathaniel DeGrave walked in through the open doors of the U.S. Capitol to document the event for a podcast.

DeGrave was arrested for entering the Capitol. He is being held in pretrial detention with no bail at a Washington, D.C. jail. No trial date has been set.

The Gateway Pundit, which has reported extensively on the treatment of Jan. 6 detainees, noted: “After careful review of DeGrave’s Indictment, Statement of Facts and other court documents, defense attorneys familiar with the case say that the Department of Justice has not yet shown credible proof to substantiate any violence whatsoever on the part of DeGrave.”

In a letter to the American public, DeGrave detailed the horrendous conditions Jan. 6 political prisoners are facing in what many have termed the “American Gulag.”

“I understand that I write this letter at my own risk,” said DeGrave, a Las Vegas resident. “We are harshly disciplined for speaking out against the facility.”

DeGrave’s letter in full:

Dear Fellow Americans –

I never thought I’d write a letter like this, but we’re living in very different times. This is my cry for help.

My name is Nathan DeGrave, and as a non violent participant at the Jan 6th rally, I’ve spent the last 9 months detained as a political prisoner in pod C2B at the DC DOC…otherwise known as DC’s Gitmo.

The conditions here for Jan 6ers have been inhumane. In fact, some inmates are even begging to be transferred to GUANTANAMO BAY, where even THEY have more acceptable standards.

Class action LAWSUITS are being filed against this prison; and even the ACLU has gotten involved. Senators Matt Gaetz and Marjorie Taylor Greene have since attempted to gain access to this facility and inspect the conditions of the jail, only to be denied.

The vile filth of what has become our daily life is being illegally HIDDEN from the members of OUR OWN CONGRESS.

So…let me tell you about what me and many of the other Jan 6ers have been experiencing in DC’s Gitmo. It is my hope that with MEDIA EXPOSURE and the awareness of the American public, that SOMETHING may be done and this never happens to anyone ever again.

OUR CONDITIONS

For the first 120 days in DC’s Gitmo, Jan 6ers experienced DAILY LOCKDOWNS for 23-24 HOURS before being allowed to leave our small 120 sq. ft cell. The PHYSICAL and MENTAL ANGUISH that results from this kind of SEVERE ISOLATION has caused many people to go on a RAPID mental decline.

As a result, a large percentage of us are HEAVILY MEDICATED with anti-anxiety and anti-depressant drugs, which helps to cope with the psychological and mental ABUSE we endure.

Many times, the little rec we DO receive is STRIPPED AWAY if our cell isn’t up to the standards of the guard on duty. This changes from day to day. Jan 6ers have lost rec time and out of cell activity ANY TIME news interviews about the jail are aired on TV, people speak up about our conditions, or rallies are held in our name. We’ll probably have a lockdown upon the publishing of this letter. So I have already warned those I know in advance..

Masks are WEAPONIZED and used against us, even though we NEVER leave the facility. Officers have walked in with the SOLE INTENTION of needing to write 20-30 disciplinary reports against Jan 6ers, which adversely effects our chances of release and causes loss of privileges, phone time and commissary. Masks need to be covering both the nose and mouth AT ALL TIMES or we are threatened and locked down in our cells. Jan 6ers are always respectful to the employees around us, but C.Os maintain the need to invent reasons for discipline.

PRIVILEGED LEGAL DOCUMENTS have been CONFISCATED and gone missing from various cells, and HIGHLY SENSITIVE discovery (video evidence under attorney/client privilege) is watched by employees during our legal calls.

Jordan Mink, for example, had all discovery TAKEN by ERT officers on August 23rd despite the objection of his attorney. They handcuffed him, searched his room, and then proceeded to take all video evidence in his possession. Additionally, legal visits take 2-3 WEEKS or more to be scheduled, leaving little time to discuss our defense and prepare for trial.

The EXTREME medical neglect in this facility has caused a variety of adverse illnesses and disease. Some show signs of scurvy. And some even have Covid like symptoms, but medical personnel have refused to treat it.

Christopher Worrell, for example, is an inmate with Cancer, who also broke his hand in prison and requires surgery. Both have been completely ignored. Federal judge Royce Lamberth got to the point where on October 12th, he filed contempt of court charges against the warden of the DC DOC, claiming that Worrell’s civil rights have been violated, and demanding the U.S attorney general inquire further about his and other possible violations.

Another inmate, Peter Stager, WAITED FOUR MONTHS to receive his CPAP breathing machine, and has needed an MRI since spring, which has also been ignored by staff.

The harsh, unlivable conditions of our unit has caused health hazards that defy Department of Health regulations. And on at least five occasions, RAW SEWAGE has overflowed our unit, causing human fecal matter to flood the floors and rooms. That’s also in addition to the MOLD on cell walls, as well as the rusty pipes, and DIRTY WATER that flows from these sinks. White rags TURN BROWN when exposed to the water from our faucets.

We are undergoing SEVERE NUTRITIONAL DEFICIENCIES and STARVATION. For breakfast this morning, I received a tray of flavorless paste, two slices of bread, and a slice of bologna. Lunches usually consist of rice and beans, but we’ll get cold chicken/beef patties if we are lucky. For dinner, we are sometimes fed a diet of cheese sandwiches, and bologna and cheese 4 to 5 times per week.

Without commissary, people like myself are FORCED TO STARVE. I suffer from HEADACHES and NAUSEA on an almost REGULAR BASIS from the malnutrition and constant hunger I am subjected to. I have lost ALMOST 15 POUNDS since I’ve been detained.

Our rights to personal hygiene are also totally neglected. Razors are PROHIBITED, and inmates are forced to either go unshaved, and grow long beards, or use a razor free cream that BURNS and IRRITATES the skin. But many other jails have allowed the use of razors without incident. Haircuts are also PROHIBITED from unvaccinated inmates. For me, it’s been nearly 9 months. I look VIRTUALLY UNRECOGNIZABLE in the condition I’m in. I fear even my family would not recognize me.

Contact with the outside world, from legal visits to seeing loved ones is HIGHLY RESTRICTED. After in-person visits, legal or otherwise, we are forced to undergo humiliating STRIP SEARCHES, despite ALL visitors being thoroughly checked for contraband. If it’s a legal visit, we are placed in a 14 day quarantine, with no out of cell time; EVEN IF your attorney is VACCINATED and tests NEGATIVE for Covid. Visits with friends or family members, for unvaccinated inmates, are NEVER ALLOWED.

As a result, many people have skipped critical meetings with their council, and NEVER get an opportunity to see friends or family. VIDEO VISITATION, while available to the rest of the jail, is RESTRICTED in the Jan 6 pod. Mail is delayed for MONTHS, and phone calls are limited to a MAXIMUM of pre approved 12 numbers. If there’s anyone else in our extended family or otherwise we’d like to call, we’re pretty much out of luck.

RELIGIOUS SERVICES, protected by the 1st amendment, are NOT provided to Jan 6ers. Neither are in person classes or other activities available to the rest of the jail. An inmate named Ryan Samsel, instead attempted to organize his own bible study inside the pod, until he was viciously BEATEN and LEFT FOR DEAD by correctional officers. He suffered a broken eye socket and brain damage as a result of the vicious attack. He’s now permanently blind in one eye. On another occasion, Scott Fairlamb was confronted by an officer in the middle of the night, and his life was threatened, once the officer’s body cam was disabled. Many, like myself, are afraid they could be the next victim.

And last but not least, we experience racism from many guards on a daily basis, being the ONLY WHITE REPUBLICANS in the entire jail. The false narrative is has been passed around the jail and to corrections officers that we are “white supremacists” (we are NOT). The inmate population is predominantly black, so we are at risk being here because of this false narrative. The guards are mostly liberal migrants from Africa who have been conditioned to hate us, and hate America. Jan 6ers have been mocked, beaten and ridiculed by guards for singing the National Anthem. The Corrections Officers despise our politics and the love we have for this country. At one point, an officer even yelled “FUCK AMERICA!”, and threatened to lock us down FOR A WEEK if we attempted to sing the National Anthem again.

THE TRUTH ABOUT MY STORY

Finally, I feel like I should touch briefly on the government and prosecutor’s portrayal of who I am as a person.

No, I am not a terrorist, extremist or any of the other names I’ve been called by the government. More than anything, I am a red blooded patriot and I love this country more than anything.

I am being unfairly prosecuted and definitely overcharged. I never assaulted anyone, destroyed property, or stolen anything. I walked through wide open doors to enter the Capitol, along with my camera crew hoping to get the rally on video. I was never even armed at any point inside the Capitol.

Our goal was to make a documentary, and get likes and shares on social media. Yes I wore a costume (that the prosecutor refers to as paramilitary gear and body armor) but it was for the movie and was nothing of the sort.

And yet, 9 months later here I sit, with 10 years worth of charges and no hope for a future. The surveillance footage shows absolutely no signs of assault, and despite attempts by media companies to get it released to the public, the government has denied it.

I think that’s because they are fully aware that this footage is questionable at worst, and exonerates me at best. Please don’t be fooled by the media. I am a loving and peaceful person with no history of violence.

This weaponized DOJ and their blatant resentment of my respect for President Donald Trump is putting me in a situation that makes me feel helpless in my current situation.

HOW YOU CAN HELP

Despite me and other Jan 6ers experiencing these unthinkable conditions, all of us remain POSITIVE and HOPEFUL that, in the end, JUSTICE WILL PREVAIL. We maintain a LOVE for this country and the Constitution like no other. The only thing keeping us going is our undying patriotism, the camaraderie between one another and our faith in God.

Please…SHARE THIS LETTER with EVERYONE you know: friends and family, senators, representatives, political organizers, civil rights groups and media outlets.

The truth HAS to get out. And the jail MUST PAY for what they are doing to this country’s citizens.

As a result of this unlawful detainment the last 9 months, I have lost everything. The successful business I spent 13 years of my life working on, my apartment in Las Vegas, social media accounts with a lifetime of memories…you name it.

The government has essentially CANCELLED ME. Not only that, but following the arrest, my best friend of 12 years robbed my apartment, stole my cat, and hacked my personal Instagram with 100,000+ followers.

Since then, I often go between feelings of hopefulness and moments of depression. I wonder if I can ever recover from this, but I have to remind myself to never give up.

There are major medical complications I now struggle with as a result of the jail’s neglect of my health since being here.

If there is any way I hope to recover, my only hope are the ones who are reading this. I was on top of the world once upon a time, and that life seems now only like a distant memory.

If there’s anything you can do to help, I would appreciate anything at all. Inmates here are being extorted with lack of nutrition, forcing me to spend most of what’s left on commissary which I can no longer afford.

I need desperate help with my legal expenses and just help staying alive in here with commissary and all the expenses I still have on the outside as my livelihood and life has been stripped away from me. Thank you for any her you can afford, even if it is a few dollars it goes a long way in here.

Sincerely and with love,

Nathaniel DeGrave

They are Murdering People Left and Right

Internet Show

Audio Podcast

We are in an unprecedented time in the United States where established safety protocols are not being followed as the COVID 19 Vaccine has been rolled out.

At the same time, there is a massive dis-information campaign going on in the main stream media.  This is caused by the corruption of our political and regulatory system.  Billions of dollars are being made as literally tens of thousands of United States citizens are killed.  Frankly, this is murder by our own government agencies.  Those responsible must be held accountable.

Another thread is the push to make these dangerous and deadly vaccines mandatory.  Now, with FDA approval of the Pfizer biological product, the military is mandating all personnel to get the vaccine.  As well, the Federal government is mandating that all workers get vaccinated or undergo repeated testing.  New York City requires a vaccine card to dine out or go out for entertainment.

Let’s put this in perspective.  In 1969, when a swine flu vaccine caused 3 deaths, the program was shut down in nine states.  Fast forward to 2021.  13,068 deaths have been reported as of 8/26/2021.  54,142 hospitalizations have been reported.  81,850 serious adverse reactions have been reported.  The actual number of deaths is at least 45,000, as reported to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

This is insane!   How can this be?  The main stream media, which makes billions of dollars from drug advertising, is colluding in suppressing this information, as well as information about early treatments that can be used at home, including vitamins, hydroxychloroquine, ivermectin and Azithromycin.  See here and here for early at-home treatment information.

In an interview with Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.  Dr. Peter McCullough shared.

Robert F Kennedy, Jr.:  What about vaccine injuries and deaths?  Are you seeing any of those?

  Dr. McCullough:  The Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System is the only source right now.  Our US FDA and the CDC, which are the joint sponsors of the public vaccine program, which is an investigation.  You know they have no critical event committee, they have no data safety monitoring board; they have no human ethics board.  This is an abrogation of standards of safety for participants in human clinical investigations.  It is the only time that I’m aware of that we haven’t seen the Office of Human Research Protections (OHRP) step in on this.

We should have had a data safety monitoring board, with the size of this program, doing monthly reviews of safety and giving advice to the program on whether or not it should continue.  On whether or not there should be modifications in the program.  There was no data safety monitoring board involved.  Looking backwards, we had a mortality signal with this program at 27 million Americans vaccinated, on January 22 (2021).  The mortality was 186 patients, and that would exceed a confidence above a usual expected for the entire class of injections at 150 deaths.

So at January 22nd, if we would have had a data safety monitoring board review the data, the DSMB would have shut this down in February.  And they would have had to look at the deaths and say, ‘where are they happening?’ ‘Are they happening in COVID recovered patients who shouldn’t be receiving the vaccine?’  ‘Are they happening in the frail and elderly?’  They would have asked some questions.

And shockingly, we’re in August and our vaccine program sponsors, the FDA and the CDC have yet to have a single press briefing or a single report on comprehensive safety.  All we have is the self-queried VAERS report…..
We are at, now, 13,000 deaths that the CDC has told us has happened.  Over 200,000 emergency room visits, clinic visits.  And we have separate external analysis…,that have shown that fifty percent of these deaths occur within two days of getting the vaccine, eighty percent occur within a week.  Most are seniors in their 70’s or 80’s who die and 86 percent of the time there is no other explanation.  Someone healthy enough to walk into a vaccine center has died.

Dr McCullough estimates that in Australia, for example, 100 times more people are dying from the vaccine than from COVID.  Consider also, from the above interview, that the number of deaths so far, at 45,000 deaths is 250 times or 25,000 % greater than the normal threshold for stopping a vaccine program!  Dr McCullough adds:

On two occasions the CDC has very casually put out on their website, one in March (2021) and one in June (2021); they’ve put out a statement that the CDC doctors and FDA doctors have reviewed all the deaths, and none of them are related to the vaccine.  None, not a single one.  You know, that includes these immediate deaths that occur in the vaccine center, where the vaccine personnel are doing CPR, for instance.  They concluded, and I tell you, at that point, when that first statement came out in March, I have to tell you, for me, that was probably the turning point for me.  I was already behind on the mortality signal.  That January 22nd landmark, I missed it, clinically I just missed it.  In the middle of March, when they made that statement, I realized that something was going on.    It’s the hardest thing for Americans to swallow this, but that’s malfeasance.  That’s wrongdoing by those in position of authority.  The FDA and the CDC in no way could have reviewed 1600 deaths.  That takes forever.

Television journalist Ivory Hecker shares:

It’s also worth noting that had there been an existing, known, safe and effective treatment for COVID-19, emergency use authorization of a vaccine for the virus would be prohibited by law.  Could that have been part of the motivation for the strange censorship of certain COVID-19 treatments that we witnessed over the past year at news and social media corporations?  I’d like to know.  I’d also like to know why so few journalists seem to report on what is happening at the human level, opting instead to report what a bureaucrat tells them.  Today I send courage to corporate journalists everywhere, to ask the tough questions, seek the truth and demand that their corporate bosses publish the truth.

In light of the above knowledge, we must resist vaccine mandates with all of our being.  Do not allow your job to mandate the vaccine.  Request a religious exemption. More information is here and here.  Do not resign from your job.  Make them fire you, if it comes down to that.  You have God-given constitutional rights.  Do not cave in.  Your life may literally depend on it.

Politics Presidential Politics Religious Freedom Rev. Sun Myung Moon Sexual Abstinence Sexual Ethics

D-Day Was on January 13th, 2020

In my last blog, Seek First His Kingdom, I outlined the role of Rev. Sun Myung Moon in the evolution of our current world situation. Continuing in the same vein, I will explain how God is working right now to bring a decisive victory.
In Peace Message 10, The Family Rooted In Absolute Sexual Ethics, which Is the Model for God’s Absoluteness, Peace and Ideal, and the Global Kingdom, Rev. Moon states:

Therefore, I am now leading all tribal and national messiahs to unite and bring to a final end the improper relationship between the political sphere, representing the Cain realm, and the religious sphere, representing the Abel realm.
The Mongolian Peoples’ Federation, representing 74 percent of the world’s population, should bear in mind that the providential age is now upon us in which it should fulfill its duties by restoring the world through the Marriage Blessing on the national level. This will bring to a close the conflict between Cain and Abel, which began in humankind’s first family.

The religious sphere, particularly centered on the absolute sexual ethics of abstinence before marriage and fidelity within Blessed families, must take the Abel role. Politics must take the Cain position, following the lead of those who understand about true families and Blessed marriage. President Trump had the right idea, when after the Washington DC riots, on June 1st, 2020, he held up the Bible in front of the partially burned out St. John’s Episcopal Church parish house, across from Lafayette Square in Washington, DC.
Before his death on September 3rd, 2012, Rev. Moon declared that January 13th 2013 (by the Heavenly, lunar-based calendar) would be Foundation Day.
It is my opinion, that due primarily to the disunity of Mrs. Moon with her husband’s words and vision, especially after his death, this date was postponed until January 13th, 2020, seven years later.
What events happened on January 13th, 2020 that would bear out this supposition?

  • The first case of COVID-19 was reported in the United States
  • The delayed articles of Impeachment for President Donald J Trump were transmitted to the Senate by Nancy Pelosi
  • Citizens and mothers in particular were successful in New Jersey in beating back a blatant attempt to strip New Jersey residents of religious vaccination exemptions for school children.

Let’s consider this scripture from the Daily Inspiration of April 27th, 2021:

Revelation 11

9 For three and a half days the people of every nation, tribe, language, and race will stare at the bodies of these two witnesses and refuse to let them be buried. 10 Everyone on earth will celebrate and be happy. They will give gifts to each other, because of what happened to the two prophets who caused them so much trouble. 11 But three and a half days later, God will breathe life into their bodies. They will stand up, and everyone who sees them will be terrified.

How are we to understand these two prophets, who are so reviled, appear dead for three days, and then are revived? They are those who represent the Abel and Cain realms that Rev. Moon speaks about in the previous reading. Abel is the religious realm, so one prophet is Christianity, which has taken a seemingly fatal blow due to moral and family decay and additionally the suppression of Christians by the government during the COVID-19 situation.

The other prophet represents the Cain-type realm, or the political realm. This prophet is none other than the movement of those who support President Donald J. Trump. This does not mean only President Trump himself, but the movement he led that respects the role and value of Christianity in society.

Notice in the scripture from Revelation 11 that “everyone on earth will celebrate and be happy”. I think that this means the euphoria of the fake news media and false, godless technocracy over the fraudulent election where President Trump was seemingly defeated.

Earlier in the same passage in Revelation, the two witnesses are seen preaching for 1260 days, or almost three and a half years, so three and a half days means three and a half years. Additionally, 40 is a number of separation from Satan in the Bible, such as the 40 day flood judgement at the time of Noah. Therefore, I predict that around the time between 40 and 42 months after January 13th, 2020, there will be a resurrection of the proper role of Christianity and also of the political realm that has been represented by Donald J. Trump.

Last time I introduced how the new Kingdom Building movement of Christianity is exemplified by socially and politically engaged Christians of various faiths and denominations, such as the health freedom movement and the seven mountains of culture movement. This is the very movement that is emerging now and will emerge more and more over the next two years.

Furthermore, the Trump movement, whether exemplified by Trump himself or up and coming leaders like Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, is rising. Look for a substantial rising of both of these movements and a correction of the false Presidential election of 2020 by about July to September, 2023.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.–That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed
