RFK assassin Sirhan Sirhan wins parole with support of 2 Kennedys

Richmond Times Dispatch
SAN DIEGO (AP) — U.S. Sen. Robert F. Kennedy’s assassin was granted parole Friday after two of RFK’s sons spoke in favor of Sirhan Sirhan’s release and prosecutors declined to argue he should be kept behind bars.
The decision was a major victory for the 77-year-old prisoner, though it does not assure his release.
The ruling by the two-person panel at Sirhan’s 16th parole hearing will be reviewed over the next 90 days by the California Parole Board’s staff. Then it will be sent to the governor, who will have 30 days to decide whether to grant it, reverse it or modify it.
Douglas Kennedy, who was a toddler when his father was gunned down in 1968, said he was moved to tears by Sirhan’s remorse and he should be released if he’s not a threat to others.
“I’m overwhelmed just by being able to view Mr. Sirhan face to face,” he said. “I think I’ve lived my life both in fear of him and his name in one way or another. And I am grateful today to see him as a human being worthy of compassion and love.”
The New York senator and brother of President John F. Kennedy was a Democratic presidential candidate when he was gunned down June 6, 1968, at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles moments after delivering a victory speech in the pivotal California primary.
Sirhan, who was convicted of first-degree murder, has said he doesn’t remember the killing.
His lawyer, Angela Berry, argued that the board should base its decision on who Sirhan is today.
Prosecutors declined to participate or oppose his release under a policy by Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón, a former police officer who took office last year after running on a reform platform.
Gascón, who said he idolized the Kennedys and mourned RFK’s assassination, believes the prosecutors’ role ends at sentencing and they should not influence decisions to release prisoners.
That decision is best left to board members who can evaluate whether Sirhan has been rehabilitated and can be released safely, Gascón told The Associated Press earlier this year. Relitigating a case decades after a crime should not be the job of prosecutors, even in notorious cases, he said.
Sirhan has served 53 years for the murder of the New York senator and brother of President John F. Kennedy. RFK was a Democratic presidential candidate when he was gunned down at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles moments after delivering a victory speech in the pivotal California primary.
Sirhan, a Christian Palestinian from Jordan, has acknowledged he was angry at Kennedy for his support of Israel.
When asked about how he feels about the Middle East conflict today, Sirhan broke down crying and temporarily couldn’t speak.
“Take a few deep breaths,” said Barton, who noted the conflict had not gone away and still touched a nerve.
Sirhan said he doesn’t follow what’s going on in the region but thinks about the suffering of refugees.
“The misery that those people are experiencing. It’s painful,” Sirhan said.
If released, Sirhan could be deported to Jordan, and Barton said he was concerned he might become a “symbol or lightning rod to foment more violence.”
Sirhan said he was too old to be involved in the Middle East conflict and would detach himself from it.
“The same argument can be said or made that I can be a peacemaker, and a contributor to a friendly nonviolent way of resolving the issue,” Sirhan said.
Paul Schrade, who was wounded in the shooting, also spoke in favor of his release.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who has spoken in favor of Sirhan’s release in the past, wrote in favor of paroling Sirhan.

Hidden History: The Legacy of President Herbert Hoover
A Skeptics View of American History
Episode 17 Hoover and the Great Depression
Film Review
In this lecture, Stoler attempts to separate fact from mythology in evaluating the presidency of Herbert Hoover. The latter is commonly blamed for the deep economic depression Americans experienced during the 1930s.
I was very surprised to learn that prior to his election in 1928, Hoover was considered to be a progressive humanitarian, based on his work in international relief programs. As Secretary of Commerce in Woodrow Wilson’s Democratic administration, he embraced the progressive ideal of using business-government cooperation to abolish poverty. He first came to public attention for organizing food relief to Belgium during World War I and to Central and Western Europe following the war.
Stoler lists a number of economic causes for the Great Depression (aka The Banker-Engineered Deflationary Crisis of 1927-40), but fails to mention the most important: namely the deliberate contraction of the money supply by private banks.*.
Stoler enumerates a number of New Deal programs started by Hoover but mistakenly credited to Roosevelt. These include the Reconstruction Finance Corporation. the Emergency Relief and Reconstruction Act (providing loans to states to help them create jobs), the Federal Farm Board (created to buy surplus crops from farmers) and the 1932 Glass-Steagall Banking Act. The latter allowed banks to offer commercial paper* and mortgage contracts as collateral on federal loans.
According to Stoler, Hoover’s biggest mistake was ordering the Army attack on the Bonus Army protest in Washington (see The US Government Assault on World War I Veterans and Their Families)
His second biggest mistake was his passage of the Smith-Hawley Act, which significantly reduced international trade through punitive tariffs.
Hoover’s policies, as would Roosevelt’s, would prove ineffective in ending the Great Depression. As Stoler points out in a later lecture on FDR, only US entry into World War I would end the Depression. Yet, owing to Roosevelt’s far greater political experience (the US presidency was Hoover’s first elected office), the former would be revered for failed New Deal policies – while the latter would be demonized.

COVID Vaccine Injury Reports Jump by 27,000 in One Week
By Megan Redshaw VAERS data released Friday by the CDC showed a total of 623,343 reports of adverse events from all age groups following COVID vaccines, including 13,627 deaths and 84,466 serious injuries between Dec. 14, 2020 and Aug. 20, 2021.
Data released today by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) showed that between Dec. 14, 2020 and Aug. 20, 2021, a total of 623,343 total adverse events were reported to VAERS, including 13,627 deaths — an increase of 559 over the data released last week.There were 84,466 reports of serious injuries, including deaths, during the same time period — up 3,416 compared with the previous week.
Excluding “foreign reports” filed in VAERS, 488,318 adverse events, including 6,128 deaths and 38,765 serious injuries, were reported in the U.S. between Dec. 14, 2020 and Aug. 20, 2021.between Dec. 14, 2020 and Aug. 20, 2021.
Of the 6,128 U.S. deaths reported as of Aug. 20, 13% occurred within 24 hours of vaccination, 18% occurred within 48 hours of vaccination and 32% occurred in people who experienced an onset of symptoms within 48 hours of being vaccinated.
In the U.S., 360.3 million COVID vaccine doses had been administered as of Aug. 20. This includes: 203 million doses of Pfizer, 143 million doses of Moderna and 14 million doses of the Johnson & Johnson (J&J).
The data come directly from reports submitted to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), the primary government-funded system for reporting adverse vaccine reactions in the U.S.
Every Friday, VAERS makes public all vaccine injury reports received as of a specified date, usually about a week prior to the release date. Reports submitted to VAERS require further investigation before a causal relationship can be confirmed.
This week’s U.S. data for 12- to 17-year-olds show:
17,518 total adverse events, including 1,047 rated as serious and 18 reported deaths. Two of the 18 deaths were suicides.The most recent reported deaths include a 15-year-old boy (VAERS I.D. 1498080) who previously had COVID, was diagnosed with cardiomyopathy in May 2021 and died four days after receiving his second dose of Pfizer’s vaccine on June 18, when he collapsed on the soccer field and went into ventricular tachycardia; and a 13-year-old girl (VAERS I.D. 1505250) who died after suffering a heart condition after receiving her first dose of Pfizer.
Other deaths include two 13-year-old boys (VAERS I.D. 1406840 and 1431289) who died two days after receiving a Pfizer vaccine, a 13-year-old boy who died after receiving Moderna (VAERS I.D. 1463061), three 15-year-olds (VAERS I.D. 1187918, 1382906 and 1242573), five 16-year-olds (VAERS I.D. 1420630, 1466009, 1225942, 1475434, and 1386841) and three 17-year-olds (VAERS I.D. 1199455, 1388042 and 1420762).2,609 reports of anaphylaxis among 12- to 17-year-olds with 99% of casesattributed to Pfizer’s vaccine.444 reports of myocarditis and pericarditis (heart inflammation) with 438 cases attributed to Pfizer’s vaccine.89 reports of blood clotting disorders, with all cases attributed to Pfizer.

US Supreme Court Strikes Down Latest Eviction Ban, Placing 6.5 Million Households at Risk

The United States supreme court on Thursday, August 26, struck down the latest federal eviction moratorium put in place by the administration of president Joe Biden. In a 6-3 decision, the conservative supermajority in the supreme court stated that if a federal eviction ban is to continue, the congress must authorize it.
“The Congress was on notice that a further extension would almost surely require new legislation, yet it failed to act in the several weeks leading up to the moratorium’s expiration,” the apex court’s ruling stated. “If a federally imposed eviction moratorium is to continue, Congress must specifically authorize it,” it added, putting the onus back on the congress.
The three dissenting judges in the ruling argued that the ongoing surge in COVID-19 cases should have been taken into account. The judges also criticized the court’s decision to pass the ruling under the emergency docket, often called the “shadow docket”, which requires very little hearing and briefing before reaching a decision. They argued that the answers to the questions raised by the lawsuit “impact the health of millions.”
The court ruling came in a federal lawsuit filed by landlords and realtors groups, like the Alabama Association of Realtors. Landlords have long opposed the moratorium extensions and rent cancellations, and have claimed that the new eviction ban was an attempt at “gamesmanship” by the Biden administration.
The conditional eviction ban was put in place earlier this month on August 3, days after the congress failed to extend the 11-month-long comprehensive moratorium placed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), before it expired on July 31. The reason behind the new moratorium was the recent surge in COVID-19 cases and it was set to expire on October 3.
The housing rights movement has highlighted that challenging the moratorium threatens millions of people with evictions during the pandemic. The US is currently witnessing one of its steepest surges in COVID-19 transmission with the onslaught of the Delta variant, the current seven-day average being upwards of 150,000 cases daily.
They also pointed out that close to USD 46.5 billion have been earmarked by the US congress in rent relief. Since this would directly go to compensate landlords, doing away with CDC moratorium was unnecessary.
The Democratic Party, which holds a slight majority in both the houses of the Congress, blamed the failure to extend the earlier CDC moratorium on the opposition Republican Party which had blocked a bid to pass a unanimous bill to that effect.
But progressive Democrats have criticized the Biden administration and the party leadership for failing to act on time, especially after speaker Nancy Pelosi adjourned the House of Representatives for a six-week vacation.
After nearly five days of protest led by congresswoman Cori Bush, along with other progressive colleagues and several social movements outside the congress, the Biden administration was forced to impose the latest limited eviction ban through the CDC.
A looming crisis
The new moratorium, while limited, covered over 80% of the US counties and nearly 90% of the population. According to estimates, at least 6.5 million households, consisting of nearly 15 million people, are behind on their rents. Of these, at least 3.6 million are under threat of being evicted immediately without government assistance.

The Debate Is Over – Israeli Study Proves Natural Immunity is 13x More Effective Than Covid Vaccines
The new analysis relies on the database of Maccabi Healthcare Services, which enrolls about 2.5 million Israelis. The study, led by Tal Patalon and Sivan Gazit at KSM, the system’s research and innovation arm, found in two analyses that people who were vaccinated in January and February were, in June, July, and the first half of August, six to 13 times more likely to get infected than unvaccinated people who were previously infected with the coronavirus.
(ZeroHedge) Dr. Anthony Fauci and the rest of President Biden’s COVID advisors have been proven wrong about “the science” of COVID vaccines yet again. After telling Americans that vaccines offer better protection than natural infection, a new study out of Israel suggests the opposite is true: natural infection offers a much better shield against the delta variant than vaccines.

FDA gaslights the world with FAKE “approval” of Pfizer vaccine
(Natural News) We now know the FDA “approval” of the Pfizer covid vaccine is a bold, treacherous gaslighting campaign involving media lies, fake science and criminal conduct at the FDA itself. Issuing two letters on Monday, the FDA actually extended the EUA for the Pfizer vaccine while granting approval to a different vaccine called “Comirnaty” which does not exist in the marketplace and isn’t even in production.
Through carefully crafted weasel words, the FDA has attempted to conflate the two vaccines to try to gaslight America into thinking the Pfizer covid vaccine now has full approval, all while making sure Pfizer still has legal immunity under the EUA for all the injuries and deaths caused by its vaccine. The media has played along, fraudulently reporting that the Pfizer vaccine now has “full approval” even though no such thing actually occurred.
Then again, this entire plandemic has been nothing but fraud from the very start, so it’s no surprise that the fraud remains firmly in place at the highest levels of the criminally-run FDA, which functions as nothing more than the monopoly marketing enforcers for Big Pharma.
The result of all this is that Big Pharma, Big Media and Big Tech are gaslighting America like never before, faking like the Pfizer mRNA vaccine has been “fully approved” by the FDA and using that as an excuse to demand full vaccine compliance.

BBC Radio Host Died of COVID Vaccine Complications, Coroner Confirms
By Lisa Shaw, 44, died from vaccine-induced thrombotic thrombocytopenia, a condition that leads to swelling and bleeding of the brain, about three weeks after her first dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine. Studies link AstraZeneca and all three COVID vaccines authorized in the U.S. to blood-clotting disorders.
An award-winning BBC radio presenter died as a result of complications from her first dose of AstraZeneca’s COVID vaccine, a coroner concluded.
Lisa Shaw, 44, who worked for BBC Radio Newcastle, died at the city’s Royal Victoria Infirmary in May — a little more than three weeks after her first dose of the vaccine developed by University of Oxford.
According to the BBC, the inquest — a judicial inquiry to ascertain the facts relating to an incident, such as a death — heard Shaw had been admitted to hospital after doctors investigating her complaints of headaches found she had suffered a brain hemorrhage.
Karen Dilks, a senior coroner from Newcastle, said “Lisa died due to complications of an AstraZeneca COVID vaccination.”
Dilks said Shaw was previously fit and well but concluded that it was “clearly established” that her death was due to a very rare “vaccine-induced thrombotic thrombocytopenia” — a condition which leads to swelling and bleeding of the brain, BBC reported.
Tuomo Polvikoski, a pathologist, told the coroner Shaw was fit and healthy before receiving the vaccine. When asked about the underlying cause of the fatal clotting on her brain, Polvikoski said the clinical evidence “strongly supports the idea that it was, indeed, vaccine-induced.”
Shaw, who was referred to during the inquiry by her married name, Lisa Eve, started complaining of headaches a few days after she got the vaccine. She eventually visited a hospital in Durham, where she was diagnosed with a blood clot.
Shaw received her first dose of AstraZeneca on April 29. On May 13 she was taken by ambulance to University Hospital of North Durham after having a headache for several days.
In a statement, Dr. John Holmes, who treated Shaw, said she complained of having a “severe headache shooting and stabbing” across her forehead and behind her eyes.
Shaw was transferred to the Royal Victoria Infirmary where she received a number of treatments, including cutting away part of her skull to relieve the pressure on her brain. She died May 21.
Dr. Christopher Johnson, a consultant in anesthetics and intensive care at the infirmary, said doctors were in a daily conference with a national panel about vaccine-induced thrombotic thrombocytopenia as they were treating Shaw, the condition she was believed to be suffering from.
When asked if he would have changed the treatments given to Shaw, Johnson said: “No.”
Johnson said the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence published guidelines on how to treat the condition in July, and those guidelines matched the treatment Shaw received.
German researchers in May, said they believed they found the cause of the rare blood clots linked to the Johnson & Johnson (J&J) and AstraZeneca vaccines.
The researchers said COVID vaccines that employ adenovirus vectors — cold viruses used to deliver vaccine material — send some of their payload into the nucleus of cells, where some of the instructions for making coronavirus proteins can be misread. This can result in proteins that can potentially trigger blood clot disorders in a small number of recipients.
Other scientists have suggested competing theories for the clotting condition.
Shaw’s death came weeks after the UK’s vaccine advisory panel restricted use of the the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine to people over 40, after reports that some recipients with low platelets developed unusual blood clots. Other countries imposed similar restrictions or suspended use of the vaccine entirely.
