  • Pete Buttigieg’s Best Friend Sentenced To 30 Years In Prison For Exploiting 500+ Children


    Former Maryland mayor Patrick Wojahn has been sentenced to 30 years in prison for a sickening array of child sex charges including possession and distribution of child sexual abuse material, according to the Baltimore Banner.  

    Patrick Wojahn, a close friend and mentee of Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, was the mayor of College Park — home to the state’s flagship University of Maryland campus — until March when he was arrested.  

    Wojahn plead guilty to more than 100 counts connected to the possession and distribution of child sexual abuse material.

    Prince George’s County officials said an investigation was launched in February after the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children notified them a social media account had distributed suspected child pornography.

    Detectives traced the account to Mayor Wojahn, authorities said.  

    Wojahn pleaded guilty in August to more than 100 counts connected to the possession and distribution of child sexual abuse material.  

    The former mayor’s husband, Dave Kolesar, is standing by him and arguing that he is a good person: “In spite of everything, I continue to look up to him. To my husband, I want to say I love you.”

    Back in 2019, Wojahn called Buttigieg his “buddy” and said that he was even mentored by the now-Secretary of Transportation.

    “I actually met Mayor Pete Buttigieg shortly after I was elected mayor in 2015. I went to the US Conference of Mayors’ Winter Meeting in DC in January [2015] and he was assigned to be my buddy,” Wojahn said in 2019 during an interview.

    “I now serve in a leadership role as vice chair of city livability and bicycling in part due to his mentorship.”

  • 3 teens plead guilty to killing New Orleans woman during carjacking that dismembered her

    NEW ORLEANS (TCD) — Three teens pleaded guilty this week to carjacking a 73-year-old woman and dragging her more than a block with her arm still stuck in the vehicle, while a fourth still faces a trial.

    Nola.com reports 17-year-old Briniyah Baker, 16-year-old Lenyra Theophile, and 16-year-old Mar’Qel Curtis entered the plea for attempted manslaughter in connection with Linda Frickey’s death. They were initially charged with second-degree murder. They were all sentenced to 20 years in prison.

    Frickey’s sister said regarding the plea, “For them to plead guilty and say they want to do the 20 years is a relief to us.”

    The fourth suspect, 18-year-old John Honore, pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder. His trial will begin Monday, Nov. 27. Nola.com reports the trial will most likely only last about three days.

    On March 21, 2022, at 1:35 p.m., New Orleans Police Department officers were called to the 300 block of North Scott Street regarding a carjacking and found Frickey on the ground unresponsive. New Orleans Police said Frickey’s arm was detached from her body. She was pronounced dead at the scene.

    Police determined the four teens carjacked Frickey, which caused her to be “thrown from her vehicle during the commission of the offense.” Then, the suspects fled the scene in a Nissan.

    Then-New Orleans Police Department Superintendent Shaun Ferguson said during a press conference he believes Frickey “was tangled in her seatbelt, which caused her arm to be severed from her body and dragged” during the incident.

    All four of the suspects were charged as adults. Nola.com reports Honore allegedly played a bigger role than the other three in the carjacking, including reportedly beating Frickey as he pushed her out of the car.

    If he gets convicted, Honore will be sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole after 25 years.

    According to Nola.com, Curtis said in court, “I wish I could go back and change the outcome,” and that Frickey “seemed like such a nice lady.”

    Curtis said her involvement in the carjacking was “the worst decision of my life.”

    Baker reportedly said following the plea, “That’s not what we set out to do, and I hope that you can all forgive me.”

  • Dutch Leader, Who Vowed To Destroy WEF, Hospitalized After Assassination Attempt

    Dutch leader who vowed to destroy the WEF nearly killed in failed assassination attempt

    A Dutch politician who vowed to destroy the World Economic Forum (WEF) has been left hospitalized following a failed assassination attempt.

    Thierry Baudet was rushed to hospital after he was attacked at a campaign event by a man wielding a beer bottle. The incident was the second attack on Baudet in recent weeks, and took place just two days before a general election.

    Infowars.com reports: Baudet was greeting supporters at a bar in the northern city of Groningen on Monday when the assailant struck him repeatedly on the head and neck with the bottle. Video footage showed Baudet’s security team rushing the injured political leader away as bystanders wrestled the attacker to the ground. 

    The attacker was arrested shortly afterwards, while Baudet was taken to a nearby hospital. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), his Forum for Democracy (FvD) party said that Baudet was treated by a trauma surgeon and that the bottle narrowly missed his eye. 

    The party then announced that an event scheduled for later in the evening in the city of Zwolle had been canceled “for the health and safety” of Baudet.

    Monday’s attack came less than a month after Baudet was struck with an umbrella by a masked assailant at Ghent University in Belgium. Baudet suffered a minor concussion as a result of the strike, and the perpetrator – who shouted anti-Russian slogans during the incident – was arrested on the spot.

    Baudet describes his party as “the most energetic anti-globalist movement of our time,” and is a vocal critic of immigration, “woke and LGBT propaganda,” and Dutch membership of the EU and NATO. He has described the conflict in Ukraine as “a stupid NATO war against Russia,” and praised Russian President Vladimir Putin as “a huge hero” in the fight against American-led “globalism.”

    Formed in 2016, his party won 1.8% of the vote in the following year’s general election, which rose to 5% in 2021. Ahead of another general election this Wednesday, the FvD is currently polling at 3%, according to an aggregate of multiple opinion polls compiled by Politico.

    Several right-wing populist politicians have been attacked across Europe in the last six weeks. Alternative for Germany (AfD) co-leader Tino Chrupalla was hospitalized after he was stabbed with a syringe at a rally in early October, while Alejo Vidal-Quadras, the founder of Spain’s Vox party, was left seriously injured after he was shot in the face in Madrid earlier this month.

  • Morning Joe Unhinged: Trump Will ‘Imprison, Execute’ Political Opponents if Elected

    Morning Joe is not handling Donald Trump’s ascension to the top of the 2024 presidential field well.

    MSNBC’s morning propaganda team went full tilt in a recent segment, where one-time Republican Joe Scarborough prognosticated a Trumpocalypse for the Democratic Party if he were to be re-elected.

    !function(r,u,m,b,l,e){r._Rumble=b,r[b]||(r[b]=function(){(r[b]._=r[b]._||[]).push(arguments);if(r[b]._.length==1){l=u.createElement(m),e=u.getElementsByTagName(m)[0],l.async=1,l.src=”https://rumble.com/embedJS/u4870v”+(arguments[1].video?’.’+arguments[1].video:”)+”/?url=”+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+”&args=”+encodeURIComponent(JSON.stringify([].slice.apply(arguments))),e.parentNode.insertBefore(l,e)}})}(window, document, “script”, “Rumble”);

    Rumble(“play”, {“video”:”v3ugyod”,”div”:”rumble_v3ugyod”});

    “[Trump] will imprison, he will execute whoever he’s allowed to imprison, execute, drive from the country… just look at his past.”

    This may be one of the most reckless MSNBC segments yet.

    “Look at his past”…

    Yeah, let’s look back at the Trump years. The historic prosperity, the energy independence, the peaceful foreign policy, the border control, and law and order.

    All while being sabotaged by the Clinton Collusion Hoax, the Corrupt Media’s relentlessly negative coverage and Covid lockdowns in blue states, which conveniently tanked the economy before an election.

    Then Donald Trump was framed by the Fed-manufactured J6 rioting, which had taken place after the feds allowed a bunch of unarmed extremists on their radar to disrupt the election objections. Then he was mass censored in a coordinated Big Tech takedown after calling for protesters to ‘go home,’ but still stepped down after election certification on January 7… some “coup.”

    Then Trump was hit with a second failed impeachment, raided by the FBI, slammed with political prosecutions — only after announcing his run for re-election — and persecuted with contrived investigations courtesy of “Special” Counsel Jack Smith.

    Morning Joe’s incendiary rhetoric follows upon ex-White House flack Jen Psaki similarly sounding alarms about Trump imprisoning political enemies.

    !function(r,u,m,b,l,e){r._Rumble=b,r[b]||(r[b]=function(){(r[b]._=r[b]._||[]).push(arguments);if(r[b]._.length==1){l=u.createElement(m),e=u.getElementsByTagName(m)[0],l.async=1,l.src=”https://rumble.com/embedJS/u4870v”+(arguments[1].video?’.’+arguments[1].video:”)+”/?url=”+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+”&args=”+encodeURIComponent(JSON.stringify([].slice.apply(arguments))),e.parentNode.insertBefore(l,e)}})}(window, document, “script”, “Rumble”);

    Rumble(“play”, {“video”:”v3u3zcv”,”div”:”rumble_v3u3zcv”});

    “Yet the hand ringing and cocktail party speculation about an alternative to Joe Biden is continuing, will continue,” she intoned. “Guess what? Joe Biden isn’t perfect. No candidate is, by the way, but we have to understand what the alternative is here.”

    “If elected to a second term, Donald Trump would prosecute anyone he deems an enemy, unleash troops on protesters, and essentially unravel the rule of law as we know it … But sure, Joe Biden is 3 years older and occasionally trips over things,” she said.

    “Look, there’s a lot to be concerned about right now when it comes to a second Trump term. The speeches are getting much more disturbing and much more unhinged, and we should all hear it that way,” she claimed.

    “And the things he is saying right now are some of the most concerning things we have ever heard him say,” added Psaki, who showed a clip from Trump’s recent Univision interview in which he argued in favor of prosecuting his political rivals.

    “What they’ve done is they’ve released the genie out of the box,” Trump said in an interview aired Thursday by Spanish-language outlet Univision.

    Trump is facing four indictments totaling 91 allegations, ranging from allegedly lying on business paperwork to breaching anti-racketeering statutes and conspiring to defraud the United States. He is the Republican Party’s presidential front-runner for 2024. Many Trump supporters and political observers believe the DOJ’s unprecedented attacks on the presidential candidate are a form of “election interference.”

    In answer to a question from Univision concerning his assertions that the Justice Department and FBI had been “weaponized” and if he would do the same if re-elected, Trump stated, “It’s not unique but it’s unique for the United States. Yeah, if they do this — and they’ve already done it — but if they want to follow through on this, yeah, it could certainly happen in reverse.”

    But what if his political enemies are committing crimes? What if they are the ones weaponizing a justice system for partisan political gain? What if they deserve retribution?

    This is all setting up to incite riots ahead of the 2024 election. Just like the BLM riots the Corrupt Media recklessly promoted, it may wind up getting people killed.

    Desperation is not a good look, MSNBC. It only makes people want to vote for Donald Trump MORE.

  • Calif. man convicted of beheading the mother of his child with samurai sword

    SAN MATEO COUNTY, Calif. (TCD) — A jury found a 34-year-old man guilty of beheading his girlfriend with a sword last year in what prosecutors called a “vengeance” motive.

    The San Mateo County District Attorney’s Office posted on social media that Jose Rafael Solano Landaeta was convicted of first-degree murder with use of a sword in connection with Karina Castro’s death.

    On Sept. 8, 2022, at 11:50 a.m., a witness flagged down San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office deputies in San Carlos and alerted them about an assault nearby. Deputies quickly arrived at the scene and found an adult female deceased. The sheriff’s office said at the time the suspect “was known to the victim.”

    The Redwood City Pulse reports Castro had two children and Landaeta was the father of one of them. Officials said he used a samurai sword and was “slashing numerous times, causing the victim’s head to be almost severed.”

    Landaeta reportedly initially pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity, but after doctors deemed him competent, he entered a plea of not guilty. His attorneys reportedly argued he killed Castro in self-defense because he thought Castro was trying to stab him. Landaeta’s defense attorney said Landaeta had a psychotic break at the time of the killing.

    According to NBC Bay Area, Landaeta was not taking his schizophrenia medication when he killed Castro.

    Prosecutors reportedly said in court that Landaeta was angry at Castro because she accused him of having a sexual relationship with an underage girl and that she would expose him by sharing that information online. Landaeta reportedly sent Castro ninja and blood emojis in his messages.

    Castro’s father, Martin Castro, told Redwood City Pulse the verdict is “bittersweet.”

    He said, “I am hoping to get some closure and normalcy back to life, or at least try. It feels like weight was lifted from my shoulders.”

    Landaeta faces up to life in prison.

  • Trump Judge To Oversee Lawsuit Against Pizzagate Censors ‘Media Matters’

    Trump-appointed judge to preside over Musk lawsuit against Media Matters

    A Trump-appointed judge has been assigned to oversee the lawsuit filed by Musk against the pro-pedophilia organization Media Matters.

    As The People’s Voice previously reported, X filed a “thermonuclear lawsuit” against Media Matters on Monday, threatening to destroy their ability to censor evidence of an elite pedophile ring involving major politicians and world leaders. 

    The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas Fort Worth Division, claims that Media Matters’ report was “malicious” and “intended to drive advertisers away from X.” The lawsuit also claims that Media Matters’ report was “based on false information” and that the far-left group “knowingly and recklessly published the false report in order to damage X’s reputation and business.”

    Thegatewaypundit.com reports: The Attorneys General from Missouri and Texas, Andrew Bailey and Ken Paxton announced that they will investigate Media Matters for potential fraudulent activity.

    Elon Musk’s high-profile defamation lawsuit against Media Matters landed in the hands of District Judge Mark Pittman, a Donald Trump appointee with a history of rulings favorable to conservative causes.

    Notably, he:

    • Ordered the FDA to release the Pfizer files:  Ordered the FDA to expedite the release of Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine documents. Expressing concern about the FDA’s initially proposed rate of data production, Judge Pittman demanded a swifter disclosure, mandating that 55,000 pages a month be made public.
    • Blocked Joe Biden’s Loan Forgiveness: Struck down President Joe Biden’s student loan forgiveness plan on November 10, 2022. Judge Pittman ruled that the plan was an overreach of executive authority and usurped Congress’ power to make laws regarding federal spending
    • Texas can’t ban 18- to 20-year-olds from carrying handguns: Ruled that a Texas law prohibiting most 18- to 20-year-olds from carrying handguns in public was unconstitutional.

  • Soldier Blasts Biden for Charging Him $4,000 for Equipment He was Ordered to Leave Behind in Afghanistan

    A United States soldier is bashing the Biden regime for reportedly charging him $4,000 for military equipment that he was ordered to leave behind in Afghanistan.

    !function(r,u,m,b,l,e){r._Rumble=b,r[b]||(r[b]=function(){(r[b]._=r[b]._||[]).push(arguments);if(r[b]._.length==1){l=u.createElement(m),e=u.getElementsByTagName(m)[0],l.async=1,l.src=”https://rumble.com/embedJS/u4870v”+(arguments[1].video?’.’+arguments[1].video:”)+”/?url=”+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+”&args=”+encodeURIComponent(JSON.stringify([].slice.apply(arguments))),e.parentNode.insertBefore(l,e)}})}(window, document, “script”, “Rumble”);

    Rumble(“play”, {“video”:”v3uh9w4″,”div”:”rumble_v3uh9w4″});

    “Today is gear turn-in day for me. I turn in all the gear that I’ve collected over the last four years of being active duty with the Army with the 82nd Airborne Division,” he said.

    “Two years ago, my unit deployed to Afghanistan for the Afghanistan withdrawal. We spent a few weeks over there. It was hectic, it was chaotic, it was disgusting, and it made me very disappointed in our government. Today, I’m reminded of how disappointed I am in our government,” he continued.

    Then, the soldier, who had an 82nd Airborne patch and a name tag of Michael, recounted the episode in Afghanistan that led to the Army accounting dispute.

    “Because as the last two birds were sitting on the tarmac ready to leave, there wasn’t any room for extra gear or extra weight. Therefore, we were told to leave it. Some lower enlisted dudes, including myself, were like ‘no, this stuff is expensive I’m not leaving this. I’m gonna get charged for this when it comes time to leave,’” he explained.

    “For a dude that left gear in a place that you put me to begin with. The government is so stinking backwards right now, man. This administration’s last priority is the American people. And inside of the American people, their last priority is their soldiers, their Marines, their airmen, their Navy.”

    “So messed up, man,” he added.

    As pointed out by journalist Lara Logan, the young soldier is surely not alone in his gripe.

    “He is not the only one,” Logan said, referring to a Trending Politics News article. “Outrageous.”

    Pundit “I Meme Therefore I Am” also weighed in on the imbroglio.

    “IF THIS DOESN’T MAKE YOUR BLOOD BOIL I DON’T KNOW WHAT WILL?!!!” the user said. “Soldiers were ordered to leave equipment behind in Afghanistan, and now there’s an attempt to charge them for it. Once ordered to abandon their belongings, it doesn’t fall under Financial Liability per the Army’s Property Loss policy.”

    Another user, wanting more details and verification, is investigating the soldier’s claim.

    “Sure you guys have seen this going around. I spoke to the Soldier last night and he’s adamant they were told to leave some of this equipment behind,” the account Stolen Valor said. “He is going to send me his CIF records.”

    “@johnburk39 and I also spoke to @RepDanCrenshaw directly last night about this and he is also looking into it,” the account added. “Once I have his OCIE records we’ll get back with Crenshaw to try and put the pieces together. Because if true then he shouldn’t be forced to pay for this, same for any other Soldiers who left equipment behind during the withdrawal.”

    “Some Soldiers were given double issues of equipment, the initial and a RFI issue,” the account continued. “He was told to leave his extra stuff behind. We will know more today hopefully. Because if true then that means he isn’t the only Soldier being charged for equipment left behind in Afghanistan.”

    During Biden’s disastrous retreat from Afghanistan, the US military abandoned nearly $7.2 billion in equipment in the war-torn country. Among the other military equipment seized by the Taliban were hundreds of Humvees, numerous Blackhawk helicopters, and thousands of small arms.

    Now, U.S. soldiers are apparently paying for Biden’s disastrous Afghan withdrawal. Personally.

  • Fla. man found guilty of killing ex in bank drive-thru several days after she broke up with him

    VENICE, Fla. (TCD) — A jury recently found a man guilty of trapping his ex-girlfriend in a bank drive-thru and fatally shooting her after she broke up with him.

    The Florida State Attorney’s Office for the 12th Judicial Circuit announced that on Nov. 17, a jury convicted William Tollard of first-degree premeditated murder for the “brutal slaying” of his ex-girlfriend. A judge will impose Tollard’s mandatory life sentence in the next several weeks.

    WTSP-TV identified the victim as Angela Zeigler.

    According to the Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office, on the morning of Oct. 5, 2020, deputies responded to the drive-thru of the BB&T bank branch on Pointe Loop Drive to a report of shots fired. In the parking lot, deputies located a 40-year-old deceased female in the driver’s seat of a white Jeep.

    Investigators determined Tollard followed the victim in the drive-thru bank line and “trapped” her vehicle between his truck and a work van near the teller’s window. Officials obtained surveillance video from the bank that showed Tollard getting out of his truck and walking up to Zeigler to talk. He reportedly “fired three gunshots at her at close range,” then walked to her passenger window and fired two more times.

    Zeigler’s Jeep reportedly crashed into a light pole about 100 yards away. Tollard, with his gun in hand, went back into his truck in the drive-thru line and parked next to Zeigler’s Jeep. According to the state attorney’s office, after parking, he walked up to his ex-girlfriend and “fired several more rounds into her front windshield before driving away.”

    Two witnesses at the scene reportedly heard Tollard yell, “Who the [expletive] do you think you are? You can’t [expletive] do this to me.”

    Deputies apprehended Tollard near the scene at Jacaranda and Sklar drives. He reportedly had a semi-automatic gun, a magazine with eight rounds, and a pair of binoculars in his possession.

    According to the state attorney’s office, Tollard and Zeigler had a “tumultuous on-again, off-again relationship” for around 18 months before the shooting. The victim had reportedly broken up with Tollard five days prior to her death.

    Assistant State Attorney Karen Fraivillig said in a statement, “This is a case of a man who would not take no for an answer.”

  • Insurers ‘Alarmed’ Over Surge In Deaths Among Young People

    death rates

    Executives at the largest insurance companies in the United States are panicking that teenagers, young people and white-collar Americans in their ‘prime of life’ are suddenly dying at a record pace.

    They say the inexplicable rise in deaths is causing a “monumental outflow” of death claims and a drag on profits. The industry is so shaken that it is even causing some to take a fresh look at the problem.

    Insurers are reportedly concerned by data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that show “mortality rates alarmingly rising for different categories,” including younger adult mortality rates that are up more than 20% above historic norms in 2023.

    According to an Oct. 26 report in InsuranceNewsNet, U.S. insurance companies expected higher-than-normal payouts from excess deaths during the COVID-19 pandemic.

    The Defender reports: Insurers saw death benefits rise 15.4% in 2020, the biggest one-year increase since the 1918 Spanish flu epidemic, followed by a record $100.28 billion — nearly double the historic norm — in total death benefits paid out by the industry in 2021.

    “The numbers were naturally forecasted to climb during the pandemic, but some industry and health authorities are concerned the rates haven’t greatly diminished as COVID infection rates have declined,” InsuranceNewsNet reported.

    According to InsuranceNewsNet, insurers are especially concerned by data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) that show “mortality rates alarmingly rising for different categories,” including younger adult mortality rates that are up more than 20% above historic norms in 2023.

    The CDC numbers reported in August show the death rate for Americans ages 15-45 rose 20-24% above normal in 2020, and soared in 2021, to a nearly 30% death increase for 15-year-olds and a more than 45% increase for 45-year-olds.

    Most troubling to insurers, CDC data reported in August showed that Americans in the period January-May 2023 were still dying at abnormally high rates with the pandemic long over. Mortality rates were 25% higher than normal among 15- to 19-year-olds and 20% higher among 45-year-olds considered in the prime of life.

    Even twenty-somethings were dying at a rate nearly 15% above normal and thirty-somethings at a pace 20% higher than usual, the CDC data show.

    Samantha Chow, global leader for Life, Annuity and Benefits Sector at Capgemini, a large, multinational Paris-based consulting company, told InsuranceNewsNet, “The surge in excess deaths caught carriers off guard” and the issue demands urgent attention by the industry.

    The issue is, “Can the industry handle a sudden spike in claims?” She added, “The real concern for life insurers lies in preparing for an unexpected wave of death claims and the impact on their assets under management.”

    “Do they have enough reserves to weather these outflows, given the excess deaths? It’s not just about death or health,” Chow said. “It is about the industry’s ability and readiness to manage this monumental outflow.”

    The excess deaths and the record drag on insurance company revenue and the predictive chaos in actuarial tables they represent, alarmed the Society of Actuaries (SOA), the world’s largest professional actuarial organization.

    Excess mortality is defined as excess deaths in a given population and time period above the expected number.

    The SOA has conducted ongoing research since 2021 to gather “a high-level view of U.S. Group Term Life Insurance mortality results during the COVID-19 pandemic” compared to prior baseline results.

    The SOA Research Institute studied more than 2.7 million claims and over $120 billion in earned premiums reported by “20 of the top 21 U.S. group term life insurers” in the U.S., representing approximately 90% of the employer-based group term life insurance industry.

    In an August 2022 poll among its more than 30,000 members worldwide, the SOA found that 85% of members thought excess mortality rates would continue to 2025. In August this year, the same poll found 79% believed excess mortality rates will continue through 2026.

    Life insurance executives and actuaries told InsuranceNewsNet, “The numbers are alarming and could continue to drag earnings and surge death claims for years to come.”

    Society of Actuaries: no connection between historic death rates and COVID shots

    Yet in its latest report issued in May, the SOA Research Institute found no connection between the historic U.S. death rates and insurance payouts starting in 2021 and COVID-19 vaccine mandates that rolled out the same year.

    Chow blamed the excess deaths and claims on “the ripples of COVID-19 and its varying impacts, leading to higher rates of depression, suicide, and increased substance abuse.”

    Other insurance executives told The Wall Street Journal they blamed “delays in medical care as a result of lockdowns in 2020, and then, later, people’s fears of seeking out treatment and trouble lining up appointments” for a surprising surge in non-COVID-19 death claims, especially heart and circulatory issues and neurological disorders.

    But Dr. Pierre Kory, president and chief medical officer of the Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance (FLCCC), who treats long COVID and vaccine-injured patients in his practice, called on insurance companies to work with media and governments and investigate the powerful evidence that countless deaths and disabilities are temporally linked to the COVID-19 mRNA vaccines and read the exploding science that pinpoints mRNA technology lethality.

    In an interview with The Defender, Kory cited the more than 1 million COVID-19 vaccine-linked injuries, disabilities and more than 30,000 deaths reported by doctors, nurses and others to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS).

    VAERS, run by the CDC and U.S. Food and Drug Administration, is the government’s “early warning system” to detect vaccine harms.

    Dr. Peter McCullough, one of the most highly published cardiologists in the world, pointed to a study of deaths after vaccination with detailed autopsies in Heidelberg, Germany. “Of 35 fatalities within 20 days of injection, 10 were ruled out as clearly not due to the vaccine (eg drug overdose). The remaining 25 (71%) had final diagnoses consistent with a vaccine injury syndrome including myocardial infarction, worsening heart failure, vascular aneurysm, pulmonary embolism, fatal stroke, and vaccine-induced thrombotic thrombocytopenia,” McCullough wrote.

    He also cited his own systematic review of “all autopsy studies that include COVID-19 vaccine-induced myocarditis as a possible cause of death” that found that “all 28 deaths were causally linked to COVID-19 vaccination by independent adjudication.”

    Kory said a large and expanding volume of scientific literature has described the pathogenicity of the artificial spike protein, unleashed by the mRNA injection into the body.

    “We know from research on autopsy series that among those who died from the vaccine, spike protein was disseminated to all organs and vessels of the body,” he told The Defender.

    “Spike-induced damage occurs by numerous mechanisms, including necrosis of vessel walls leading to things like aortic dissection, inflammation of important organs, including the heart and brain causing myocarditis and cognitive deficits respectively,” Kory said.

    He also also cited “fibrinoid aggregates circulating in the blood causing poor perfusion in the microcirculation as well as hypercoagulability in the blood causing strokes and heart attacks, immunosuppression causing increased risk of infectious illnesses, and/or reactivation of latent viruses.”

  • Colo. woman sentenced for killing newborn, leaving child in bag in bathroom cabinet

    HIGHLANDS RANCH, Colo. (TCD) — A judge sentenced a 22-year-old woman to several decades behind bars for killing her newborn and leaving the child’s body underneath a bathroom sink.

    The 19th Judicial District Attorney’s Office announced Peyton Green was ordered to serve 40 years in prison after she pleaded guilty on Nov. 16 to child abuse — knowingly and recklessly causing death. She had initially been charged with first-degree murder, tampering with a deceased body, and attempt to influence a public servant.

    On Sept. 26, 2020, Green went to UCHealth Highlands Ranch because she was experiencing vaginal bleeding and became worried. She agreed to undergo a Sexual Assault Nurses Examination (SANE), and nurses determined she had “extensive vaginal lacerations consistent with giving birth.” Green had a blood test, which confirmed she was pregnant. Then, doctors performed an ultrasound and saw she had a dilated cervix, which pointed to pregnancy.

    Doctors performed surgery on Green and found placenta in her uterus.

    According to the district attorney’s office, Green reportedly told doctors she never had sex or gave birth. Medical staff contacted the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office about the case, so deputies went to Green’s home to investigate. Her father reportedly allowed deputies into the residence to look for the child.

    The statement said, “A baby’s lifeless body was found inside a tan grocery store bag underneath a towel in the cabinets below a bathroom sink.”

    Investigators located Green’s ex-boyfriend in Colorado Springs. They interviewed him and he negated Green’s original story about not having sex or being pregnant. Detectives discovered Green texted her ex and another friend that she was expecting a child.

    In 2021, Douglas County detectives issued a warrant for Green’s arrest. She was arrested Sept. 30, 2021, in Wyoming, and extradited back to Douglas County a few days later.

    Chief Deputy District Attorney Chris Gallo said in the statement, “This defendant attempted to conceal a murder by lying to her parents, law enforcement, and medical staff. In the end, the evidence is indisputable. Blood work, an ultrasound, and surgery to repair Green’s injuries confirmed she was pregnant.”

    Gallo added, “Had this mother told the truth about her pregnancy or called for help after giving birth, this tragedy may have been avoided. There were multiple ways to handle an unwanted or unexpected pregnancy, but her selfish and deceitful actions to hide a birth by dumping her newborn’s body in a bag like a piece of trash certainly warrants a lengthy prison sentence.”
