Photo:  Governor's Mansion, Albany, N. Y.              Albany is the second-oldest city in the United States, and since 1797 has been the capital of the Empire State. It was a strategic center during Colonial Days, and it was here in 1754 that steps were taken by the Colonial Congress to consider a federation of the colonies. The contest begins for the governor's mansion.  @HarrySiegel @NYDailyNews. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/11/02/nyregion/de-blasio-votes-for-his-successor-as-he-eyes-a-run-for-governor.html

Welcome to episode 122 of the Mikhaila Peterson Podcast. This is another opposing views episode where I speak with two people who have opposing views on contentious subjects. This is my favourite format of episode and one I'll be focusing on. In this episode, I spoke with Dan Gross and Dr. John R. Lott about gun control in America. We discussed their stances on gun control, assault weapons, the gun show loophole, and background check laws. I asked them whether states with stricter gun control have less gun violence. We also touched on straw purchasers, misconceptions regarding gun violence, and how politics has pervaded an already complicated debate—which is one of the reasons we need conversations like this one. In the first half, I sat down with Dan Gross. After his brother was wounded in the 1997 Empire State shooting, Gross left a bright career in marketing to become a gun control activist. He has since worked to raise awareness on gun safety, spearheading campaigns that teach gun owners to mitigate risk. Gross is the former president of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence and co-founded the Center for Gun Rights and Responsibility. In the second half, I spoke with gun rights advocate, economist, and political commentator John R. Lott. He has worked for Yale, the University of Chicago, and the U.S. Department of Justice under Trump. He is the founder and former president of the Crime Prevention Research Center (CPRC). John Lott has published op-eds in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, and more. Remember please keep the comments civil - organizing these episodes is tricky and I really love doing them I think they're so interesting so let's keep things civil so that more people will agree to come on. Next week's episode is opposing views on Bitcoin. I hope you enjoy this episode - if you do please hit subscribe. Enjoy your week!

Blackfishing, a term developed by black women to describe white celebrity's who adopt black physical features in order to trick others into thinking that they are black, is the new blackface. Blackface was used to openly attack black people onstage and make them seem culturally irrelevant to the American experience. Blackface was also utilized by white celebrities to mock black people, often times stereotyping blacks as lazy, uneducated, useless, and unimportant. Blackface minstrelsy is considered by many to be the first original form of American entertainment; one of the main reason why racism remains a problem to this very day is because it was ingrained in American culture by this racist "performance art". Initially, blacks were not even allowed to play these characters because the all white entertainment establishment considered black people to be too unintelligent to be able to rehearse and memorize lines. "White men would darken their faces to create caricatures of black people, including large mouths, lips and eyes, woolly hair and coal-black skin." (AP News) John Gruden's recent comments about black football players having "big lips" is nothing new; he is merely pulling from his deeply racist culture. Surely, such a degenerate and childish form of entertainment must have developed as a Southern response to losing the Civil War, right? Wrong. That is a myth that dimwitted networks like the History Channel have promulgated. Here is the real history of blackface, "The practice took hold in New York City in the 1830s and became immensely popular among post-Civil War whites. In fact, the Jim Crow laws that enforced racial segregation in the South took their name from a character played by blackface performer Thomas Dartmouth Rice. He said his act “Jump, Jim Crow” (or “Jumping Jim Crow”) was inspired by a slave he saw." While it is true that blackface became much more popular in the south after the Civil War, it was actually the racist "genius" of good old New York City that invented it. Racism remains a huge problem in New York to this day. Though it loves to paint itself as some bastion of Civil Rights, the New York entertainment industry rarely hires black performers specifically because of its very racist roots, this idea that white performers are superior to black performers. Now you know why every time I hear Jay Z's "Empire State of Mind", I cringe at the thought of a black man encouraging other black people to have such a racist state of mind. That godawful song remains my least favorite Jay Z song of all time to this very day, but white people sure do love it, don't they? White people loved blackface too and they still do. Who could forget Robert Downey Jr, Ted Danson, Billy Crystal, Sarah Silverman and Jimmy Falon all dawning the blackface makeup only to then pretend that they were not mocking blacks for laughs? White people can forget, but I ain't white. An African man once told me that the elephant never forgets his fallen brethren; instead the forlorn elephant will stop at the grave site of his ancestors and mourn sometimes for hours. Consider me the elephant in the room of the black world. I will never stop mourning my ancestors; you cannot make me forget. I owe you nothing but the truth, and the truth is not as pretty as pictures on Instagram. This is the real world. There are no filters. "In 1848, after watching a blackface act, abolitionist Fredrick Douglass called the performers “the filthy scum of white society” in The North Star newspaper. Blackface performers, he said, “have stolen from us a complexion denied to them by nature...to make money and pander to the corrupt taste of their white fellow-citizens.” Now we have blackfishing, and, once again, white people are putting on makeup, clothing and hairstyles in order to portray themselves as stereotypes to make money while pandering to their white fellow citizens. To be frank, this sucks. Boo!

Kia ora,Welcome to Monday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect New Zealand.I'm David Chaston and this is the International edition from Interest.co.nz.Today we lead with news sharply rising commodity prices are being caused by shortages that are undermining economic activity. Inflation with stagnation.First up today, the price of copper is taking off again. Its price hit a record high at the end of last week as surging power prices threaten to curb supply at a time when stocks are at rock bottom. The crunch will hurt China the most, as it consumes more than all other countries combined. However, it controls little production and is on a fast hunt for supplies it can control, especially in Africa.And the price if zinc has risen a spectacular +30% in the past ten days. This is caused by sharply rising European power prices which are forcing smelters to shut down.Prices are in focus this week. Today the New Zealand CPI data will be released for Q3 and it is expected to show prices rising north of 4% and an annual rate, and maybe at a 5.3% annualised rate in Q3.Then China will reveal its Q3 economic growth rate. Commodity prices, supply-chain problems, Evergrande and Delta all may have an impact on the quarter's result.The northern hemisphere winter is approaching and every country from China to the US is struggling with high energy costs that will sharply raise the costs of winter heating this year. In the US, a new analysis shows that those using heating oil will pay more than +40% more than last year; those using propane +50% more.Every country is hungry for fuel, and none more so than China.Globally, future energy use will be dominated by electricity generation, and the big increases required to 2050 will come from solar, it has been forecast. The same estimates also show that while they won't grow, the use of coal and natural gas will still be a big and important fuel sources for electricity generation for the next 30 years at least. These estimates don't see nuclear making any comeback.In China, there has been a rare public comment from Beijing on the Evergrande situation, and it was to squash fears of systemic risk. Their central bank has rebuked the company calling it "poorly managed" and wants Evergrande to step up asset disposals and resume its stalled projects. And the official said most individual financial institutions did not have highly concentrated exposures to Evergrande.Despite these soothing comments, the Chinese Communist Party's anti-corruption unit has dispatched inspectors to 25 financial institutions, including top state-owned banks, in what appears to be a crackdown prompted by the Evergrande debt crisis.In the US, data out over the weekend for September shows retail sales have been stronger than in earlier indications. They increased +0.7% from August, and August was revised up to a +0.9% gain, both beating market forecasts of a small fall. It is another sign of resilience from consumers despite supply constraints affecting vehicles and computers. The biggest increases were seen in sales at sporting goods, general merchandise stores, and at petrol stations.But American shoppers aren't feeling that buoyant. The widely-watched University of Michigan survey slipped back slightly to levels that were as weak in the early stages of the pandemic. Something doesn't quite square between spending freely and feeling apprehensive.Even though the New York Fed's Empire State survey of factories fell back to August levels, they are reporting growth above its long term trend, widespread price increases that seem to be able to be passed on, and optimism about the future.However, American firms generally are finding it almost impossible to pass those rising costs on in their export prices, and are just having to suck it up with sharply rising import prices.Canadian factories have the same cost pressures with producer prices up +15% year-on-year to September, although there has been a small slowing over the past few months.The economic implications of being left out of the global economy are worrying the Australians. Their prime minister looks like he is ready to adopt some sort of soft carbon target, but not because it is the right thing to go for the global climate, but because "climate change is as much about the global economy as the environment, and Australia will be left behind if it does not respond". And it also looks like he has been shamed into going to the Glasgow COP26 climate summit.The UST 10yr yield opens today down -1 bp to be now at 1.57%.The price of gold has slipped by -US$1 to US$1767/oz.And oil prices are another +50 USc higher at just on US$82/bbl in the US, while the international Brent price is now just under US$84.50/bbl. The number of new US rigs in production has now almost doubled in the past year. But despite the recent fast return, it is still only a quarter of what it was ten years ago.The Kiwi dollar opens today at just on 70.7 USc. Against the Australian dollar we are at 95.3 AUc. Against the euro we are at 61 euro cents. That means our TWI-5 starts the week at just on 74.4, up +130 bps since this time last week and now well over the top of the 72-74 range of the past eleven months.The bitcoin price has firmed very slightly from this time Saturday, up +0.7% to be now at US61,771. Volatility over the past 24 hours has been modest at just under +/-1.1%.You can find links to the articles mentioned today in our show notes.And get more news affecting the economy in New Zealand from interest.co.nz.Kia ora. I'm David Chaston and we'll do this again tomorrow.

October 8, 2021 - New York Power Authority President and CEO Gil Quiniones highlights the effort to go green at the Empire State Plaza, including the construction of a new solar array in Oneida County and an energy audit of the sprawling Albany complex.

When most people think of New York state, they think of New York City. While New York City is iconic, I want us to broaden our horizon and consider the many other cities and regions that make up The Empire State. In this episode, we explore Rochester, New York. In addition to sharing some fun historical facts, I'll share five reasons why you should visit Rochester.

Max Siegelbaum is co-executive director of Documented, an innovative non-profit news site solely dedicated to covering the plight of New York's immigrant community, and the policies which affect them. Last year, they won an Online Journalism Award and LION Award for their use of WhatsApp as a news distribution platform to their most vulnerable readers, and also for their coverage of how the Coronavirus pandemic made life unthinkably harder for those seeking a new life in the Empire State. In this in-depth interview, Max recalls the early stages of the venture, gaining the trust and support of an ever-increasing readership, but also experiencing the struggles of having to “fight for a space” in the industry; discusses the lack of awareness of how tough the life of an immigrant can be, and how arduous a task it is to be represented in a city as fast-paced as New York; and reflects on how Donald Trump's presidency created an “extreme and almost immeasurable impact” for immigrants - in which the ‘othering' of recent settlers to the city only increased.

We talk the met gala, the Goonies bone piano scene and pitch a movie which treats the song "Empire State of Mind" with the same reverence the film "Yesterday" treats the Beatles. Enjoy!

What is an IPA? Most drinkers around the world would probably identify IPA as the flagship style of the modern craft beer movement. As its popularity has grown, it has become known for a bunch of different—and often contradictory—characteristics. A modern IPA is either bitter or not bitter; pale, white, or black; very strong, sessionable, or nonalcoholic. But while IPA in all its forms is loved around the world, relatively few drinkers would be likely to name the drink's intimate connection with the history of colonial exploitation. In this episode, I talk to David Jesudason, the author of a recent article, “Empire State of Mind — Interrogating IPA's Colonial Identity,” that ran in our Critical Drinking series. In this conversation, we discuss David's article and his take on the history of IPA, or India Pale Ale, to use its full name. We talk about mercantilism, extractive capitalism, and the East India Company, a massive corporation which maintained its own private army to protect its lucrative businesses during the British occupation of India. We talk about beer advertising and beer labels, and we discuss the prevalence of colonial-themed décor in modern British culture, including plantation shutters, and what seems like a widespread nostalgia for colonies and empire there.

Federal Bankruptcy Judge Conditionally Approves Multibillion-Dollar Settlement for OxyContin Manufacturer. But Is It Justice?   On the heels of an announcement by New York Attorney General Letitia James that three opioid distributors -- McKesson Corp, Cardinal Health Inc. and Amerisource Bergen Drug Corp -- have agreed to pay $1.1 billion toward opioid abatement in the Empire State after negotiating a settlement in a decades-long civil lawsuit, a federal bankruptcy judge yesterday announced conditional approval of a multibillion-dollar settlement in the major-league drug-manufacturing world. I'll read you the Associated Press report   But as we discussed yesterday, is it justice?  

The office of New York Attorney General Letitia James was pleased to announce another big win for justice yesterday.    McKesson Corp, Cardinal Health Inc. and Amerisource Bergen Drug Corp., three opioid distributors, have agreed to pay $1.1 billion toward opioid abatement in the Empire State after negotiating a settlement in a decades-long civil lawsuit, the AG's office announced.   It is yet another high-profile victory for James. But is this justice, asks Leid Stories.  

Preserved From the Beast (11) (Audio) Will it be WWIII? David Eells - 8/29/21 It's looking increasingly possible that President Trump, and the military, that still answer to him, made a secret deal with the Taliban to lure the "Biden administration" into the tar pit trap that you're seeing now in Kabul. Many more such snares could lie ahead. Patriots war-gamed everything by quantum super computer and rigged the field so that the fraudulent administration could step on landmine after landmine until it runs out of breath, so that the people, could pry their stolen Republic from its cold dead hands. I am a personal witness that computers can be demon possessed and that those demons can be cast out. This may have some bearing on the plans ahead going awry. So what we're hearing is that the black swan event is when it all starts with financial collapse, which is upon us. The Bitcoin data mining center under the Three Gorges Dam will be hit with the Rods of God along with their sex trafficking center and a Chinese Communist Party center. The 24-28 Nuke Reactors will be hit with Rods of God along with Deep Underground Military Bases and tunnels. We are told that all of this is being directed by a fifth generation super computer and that it is calculating the enemies moves into its predictions. When the enemy makes moves it recalculates, so these things can be altered, especially timing. God is sovereign over super computers too. We are hearing that the star-link satellite system which is up and running as we can see a trail of them across the night sky.  This is about to take over the old transmission system including the 5G, which will cut out the MSM. They have been saying that the new internet/phone system will be safe for the users. (i.e. radiation wise and probably hacking wise) Lets pray and hurry them along. The Taliban are said to be taking out the DS government and bankers and the pedophilia satanists in Afghanistan and bringing down the opium trade and rich resources that would have gone to China. We are told that Trump negotiated with them… Thats the good news about Afghanistan and we will cover the bad news below.  The Taliban have been excluded from NESARA until they tow the line. Pray for the Christians there to have the fear of the Lord and turn from Babylonish religion to God. Then we heard they met with the CIA so it is probable that they are playing both sides. This is a thorn to all three super powers.   Afghanistan Has Terrible Secrets Claire Pienaar - 8/26/21 (David's notes in red) …I dreamed I saw my old friend Sipho! (Sipho means “gift” in Zulu. His second name means “faithful”. His surname means “rock”). (Representing the Lord or the Lord in His Man-child body.) I said to him, “I thought you were dead”. He smiled and said, “Nope, I am hidden. (True of the Lord and His Man-child body) But we're getting out of here. I have much to show you and tell you”. I got in the car with him… He said, "I am going to show you terrible things. Get ready”.  We stopped in a desert and we could see Afghanistan in the distance. We were under a few date trees and were walking towards a white tent. Sipho said to me, “Whatever anyone tells you, it is a lie. They are killing children here. They are passing them off as child sex slaves or “brides” or “grooms” and despicable things are being done. We intercept, and rescue them but no-one helps us. You need to help now.” (Pray for these children to be spared and to get out.) I walked into the tent and there were two Afghani men who were very pleased to see me. They gave me water and said, “See the precious young ones”. I walked over to where about 20 children were lying on the floor, listlessly. Some were sitting, playing in the dust. I had to fight back tears because each time I looked in their eyes I could see what they were rescued from. Some from molestation, some from hard labour, some from sex trafficking.  I started touching one child at a time, on their heads, praying for them gently and softly. (We can do this in the Spirit now. Touch these children through prayer.) When I did so, it was like they were revived and started poking their heads out of the tent with curiosity and their eyes brightened and then I heard some quiet laughter. I thought to myself, “this is a huge job. They will track us down. But we must try to save more”.  Sipho came to me and said, “We have to do what we can. You continue praying.” I felt like the tent had supernatural protection. I felt like the men in the tent, even though they seemed worldly, had supernatural protection.  I asked the Lord for a word by faith at random when I woke up. At first I received bel and Bela in my bible, at the back in the dictionary. It means “destruction”. Just underneath was the words “sons of belial” which means “worthlessness” and refers to those belonging to Satan. (Bel was the dragon of Babylon.) Then I asked for a bible verse and my finger landed on “no truth in the things whereof they have been informed” Acts 21:24. (We are hearing a lot of lies.)   Getting Out of Afgahnistan Winnie Osegueda - 8/28/21 (David's notes in red) I dreamed there was a large group of people outside by a car garage. They seemed to be having "a good time" of sorts, as I observed them from the bushes. Then I saw a green, army helicopter that flew over them, it dropped a molotov cocktail that started a fire among them and they dispersed. Many got away. (Could this be the beginning of something bigger? It's a fire that has been “started.”) Chuc, Zoé, Jaden and I were staying in a beautiful white house that had been previously abandoned. We were staying there to take shelter from a coming storm. (Christians were sheltered by the White House but both it and they have been abandoned.) Suddenly, the group of people that escaped the molotov cocktail were at our doors in the white house, trying to gain access to the home. (Representing desparate people trying to escape the fires started in Afgahnistan. The Taliban wants to kill the Afghan's who were helping the Americans. The Taliban also released all of the imprisoned Al Qaeda fighters, who hate Christians and Afghan helpers.)  So we bolted the doors. At one point when I opened the door for a moment, they almost got in. They were making threats against us and I was a bit nervous. Then one of them slipped a note under the door that said, "2 days." Essentially the note was threatening us, saying we had two days to leave or things would get a lot worse and there would be repercussions. (Chuc told me that in Afghanistan, the Christians were told they had 2 days to leave, which I did not know, so I felt that was confirmation of my dream.) (The Biden regime gave out the names of Americans and allies who want to leave Afghanistan, to the Taliban; essentially a ‘kill list'. It looks like the fire is going to get bigger.)  I thought on it and I was tempted to fear, but the Lord dropped into my spirit that He would help us. While still in a dream state, I thought of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego when they said in, Dan 3:17-18  If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace; and he will deliver us out of thy hand, O king.  18  But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up. And then I decided I would write them a note back to say that the Lord would help us and deliver us. And then I woke up. I asked the Lord for a verse by faith at random regarding this dream and I opened the concordance and received, Luk 22:45 (in context 45-46)  And when he rose up from his prayer, he came unto the disciples, and found them sleeping for sorrow,  46  and said unto them, Why sleep ye? rise and pray, that ye enter not into temptation. (Pray effectually and fervently for the situation in Afghanistan, saints.)   Situation Report Afghanistan Evacuating Christians And Americans David Feagin - 8/25/21 (David's notes in red) The US (Biden) State Department is intentionally blocking activities to help evacuate Americans and Christians. They have contacted countries that WERE willing to receive refugees and made them refuse to allow them to enter. They have forced at least two flights from the Nazarene airlift to turn around mid-flight and return to the air port.  The Nazarene group has rescued 2,100. The gates to the air port are now closed with ISIS and Taliban (and Al Qaeda) targeting Americans and Christians. Americans at the air port were ordered to return to their cars. Americans are not ordered to shelter in a hotel...Perfect hostage collection point.  At least 10,000 - 45,000 Americans will be left behind. They SEEM to be shutting down flights early. All news conferences are bold faced lies.  Glenn Beck in Middle East: ‘Biden Admin Lying to Us' on Afghanistan Evacuation | Glenn TV | Ep 131 - YouTube  I know Glenn Beck is a Mormon, but this is about their efforts to help save as many Christians as possible from the obvious. The US State Department under direction of the Whitehouse is actively blocking every effort intentionally. (Just heard CIA had meeting with the Taliban.  Seem like the Taliban is playing both sides to their advantage.) Afgahnistan may be the beginning of an apparent contention between the super powers since they all have a stake there. This may be a plan to bring about a fake WWIII nuclear scare in order to bring the world into a covenant. Operation Disclosure A trigger has been set that will collapse the stock market and introduce the new global financial QFS system with gold/asset backed currencies. This trigger is set to go off once the Cabal is completely neutralised. This act counters the Central Banking System, the Federal Reserve Bank, the IRS and USA, Inc. which are the Deep State Khazarian shadow government etc. This Friday, the Storm is supposed to begin and last from August 27 to September 11, the 20th anniversary of the destruction of the Twin Tower, 9/11. (The plans happen notoriously later than they say.  This is a procedure they use to draws the DS out to try and stop the plan so they can arrest more of them.) GESARA is activated, designed to remove poverty and all its consequent ills on Earth (thats silly new age stuff), during this transition phase; further completion of Mass Arrests of Cabal agents; introduction of Restored Republic and RV; transition to Constitutional Law; introduction Gold Standard via QFS. Everyone should prepare with at least three weeks of food supplies as shortages may occur. The Storm: has all indications to be a fake Nuclear Stand off between the US and Russia, complicated by the Chinese Communist Party, Iran and Israel ‘s hacking of nuclear reactors worldwide. These can be seen as Biblical events with fake nuclear weapons and Cyber attacks to make it look like the beginning of World War III. (The Rods of God from space appear to be nuclear strikes but are not.)  In reality, this gives the Alliance the opportunity to activate the military worldwide and implement a form of martial law to bring down the Cabal Illuminati in the largest global military operation in history.  (A fake WWIII is a dangerous thing.) During martial law, Satan-worshipping child-sacrificing world elites are arrested and their 34 Satanic empty landmarks worldwide, destroyed. Including the Vatican, the White House, Washington DC, including the Washington Monument, the Getty Museum, Buckingham Palace, China's Three Gorges Dam, Royal Castles, the CIA headquarters at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland. A vast network of underground tunnels for the Satan-worshipping world elite containing their network of child traffickers, CIA Mind Control laboratories, Adrenochrome production, organ harvesting and Bitcoin production facilities. Ten Days of Darkness: This blackout would occur worldwide for a short time before the transition to Tesla Free Energy(?). While mass arrests continue, Project VERITAS will take down the MSM satellites while the new Star Link System with EBS takes over to broadcast seven presidential messages for three days and eight hours of educational videos 24/7 for ten days each. Martial law will be in place until the various countries are able to hold free, transparent and instantaneous elections using their mobile phones and computers, along with the Quantum Computer, have established to appoint governments based on concepts from the original Constitution.    Into the Nuclear Bunkers RT - 28 Mar, 2020 / Updated 1 year ago (David's notes in red) On 8/27/21 William Steenland wrote, "Sure seems odd, especially now that NORAD & NORTHCOM went underground” (It has nothing to do with C/19 as they are saying.. the military knows that this is not a problem and it is actually the vac/ci/nes that are the plague. They will prosecute those who foisted this depopulation scam on the world. It's a fake WWIII scare to get all the militaries of the world out so they can then go against the DS world wide.  They are saying there will be a nuke scare because the nuclear reactors are hacked.  This is a WWIII scare to bring people to desire the covenant.  After both WWI and WWII the world fearfully made peace covenants, the League of Nations after WWI and then the UN after WWII.  Both were attempts to stop coming World Wars. This time the WWIII scare is to force the world into the tribulation dragon covenant which I predicted when Hidden Manna was written many years ago. So what if the left is planning on making this a real WWIII?)  The text off the link that Bill sent is below and is from last year when the military went to the underground bunkers claiming it was preparation for the Pand/emic however if a real pan/demic broke out all of the military leadership and political leadership being in close quarters could get wiped out by just one infected soldier. These bunkers are under the ground of 2000' of granite to withstand a nuclear war. The left tried to start a nuclear war at least twice under Obama, which would have legally kept the sitting President in power but everyone was wise to him.  What if the right in their planning a fake Nuclear WWIII to scare the world into the Nesara/Gesara "covenant with many", while the left plans on then making it into a real WWIII to stay in power using their agent provocateurs in the midst to strike at all sides, which they are so good at? Look at the preparation for nuclear WW here under the guise of preparing for Co/vid: Run for the hills! Pentagon sends teams into MOUNTAIN BUNKERS as pandemic preparations go into full swing. The US' Northern Command has sent teams of essential staff deep underground to wait out the Covid-19 pandemic. On the surface, more than a million grunts won't be quite as cocooned. Air Force General Terrence O'Shaughnessy heads up the US' Northern Command, as well as the North American Aerospace Defense Command – a joint US/Canadian operation that monitors the skies over North America for missile and airborne threats. Earlier this week, O'Shaughnessy told reporters via Facebook that some of his watch teams would be moved from their usual command center at Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado to a number of hardened underground bunkers. One of these facilities is the Cheyenne Mountain bunker complex, a warren of tunnels buried under 2,000 feet (610m) of granite, and sealed behind blast doors designed to withstand a 30 megaton nuclear explosion.  “Our dedicated professionals of the NORAD and NORTHCOM command and control watch have left their homes, said goodbye to their families, and are isolated from everyone to ensure they can stand the watch each and every day to defend our homeland,” O'Shaughnessy said. He also said that personnel sent underground will share the bunker with other members of the military, but he is “not at liberty to discuss who's moving in there.” Another team has been sent to an undisclosed location, O'Shaughnessy added. Installations like Cheyenne Mountain are integral to the US government's plan to survive a doomsday scenario. In the event of an existential threat to the US, a nuclear attack for instance, the president and his officials, as well as a contingent of political, military and civilian leaders would be immediately evacuated to four secure facilities to run the country from deep underground. These facilities are Cheyenne Mountain, the Presidential Emergency Operations Center under the White House, Raven Rock Mountain Complex in Pennsylvania, and Mount Weather Emergency Operations Center in Pennsylvania. While the ongoing Covid-19 crisis has not triggered a mass exodus from Washington, it has prompted military leaders to take steps to ensure they remain combat ready. After admitting that the US military's readiness could be affected by the pandemic, Defense Secretary Mark Esper stated on Thursday that the Pentagon would stop publishing precise details of Covid-19 cases within its ranks, to avoid revealing weaknesses to America's adversaries. As some of O'Shaughnessy's forces head for the hills to wait out the pandemic in hermetic isolation, millions more on the surface will not have the same luxury. Army engineers have already been deployed to New York to scout locations for field hospitals, as the Empire State accounts for more than a third of the country's 112,000 cases of the illness. With the crisis deepening, the US military appears to be adopting an ‘all hands on deck' approach, both on the ground and under. Though the US military is forbidden from carrying out law enforcement duties on American soil, President Trump signed an executive order on Friday authorizing the call-up of up to a million reserve and retired Army, Navy, Air Force and Coast Guard personnel.  These reservists could be called upon to assist civilian authorities in responding to the pandemic, as the nearly 10,000 National Guard troops already deployed have been doing. On Saturday, Esper announced a modified law that would provide federal funding for states looking to deploy more of these troops. On top of this, two hospital ships have been sent to assist with treating patients in New York and Los Angeles.  (This nuclear scare to bring all nations into a covenant at this time could become real because there is a covenant expected in September that will begin with the Lord appearing in His Man-child reformers whose “recompense is before Him” and then a real WWIII comes. What do we know is coming and possibly in September when the seven day (representing seven years of the) feasts of Trumpets and Tabernacles begin the tribulation with a "covenant with many”? A coincedence? The Man-child and tribulation and beginning of WWIII is seen here. Rev 6:1-8  And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures saying as with a voice of thunder, Come.  2  And I saw, and behold, a white horse, and he that sat thereon had a bow; and there was given unto him a crown: and he came forth conquering, and to conquer. (Jesus manifested in the Man-child ministry by Word and Spirit.)  3  And when he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, Come.  4  And another horse came forth, a red horse: and to him that sat thereon it was given to take peace from the earth, and that they should slay one another: and there was given unto him a great sword. (Notice: We started with a fake WWIII and now we're ending up with a real WWIII) 5  And when he opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature saying, Come. And I saw, and behold, a black horse; and he that sat thereon had a balance in his hand.  6  And I heard as it were a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, A measure of wheat for a shilling, and three measures of barley for a shilling; and the oil and the wine hurt thou not. (A food shortage as is starting now.) 7  And when he opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, Come.  8  And I saw, and behold, a pale horse: and he that sat upon him, his name was Death; and Hades followed with him. And there was given unto them authority over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with famine, and with death, and by the wild beasts of the earth.   Soon Coming Tribulation and Beast Covenant David Eells - 8-29-21 I have said for a long time that Nesara/Gesara is good in the beginning because Trump as Cyrus is using it to free the people of God from Babylonish captivity and giving them the money to rebuild the Kingdom of God. The second stage of this covenant I have been quiet about for several reasons that are of God. The people of God need to accept this first stage because it is a good repetition of history that rebuilds the Kingdom.  But they need to opt out of the second stage because it leads to a one world order uniting of all nations, a world currency, and the mark of the beast. This part is a return of the same kind of communist DS tyrants we are being rid of in stage one. Although we must refuse their mark we do not make physical war against it for it is prophesied by God in order to separate the tares from the wheat.  So if the Nesara/Gesara covenant is ultimately the “covenant with many” which is upon us, does this make P. Trump "the antichrist”?  Many will think so but they will be wrong as they usually are and as we will see. We should not lose sight of the fact that history is repeating because God is on the throne and he said it always will. Cyrus of the Medio-Persian Beast Empire conquered the Babylonian Beast Empire so they are both Beasts… But Cyrus Trump is setting us free in stage one so give the Lord through him the credit.  In stage one the Babylonian DS faction including their “Church” faction crucified the Man-child and Bride before the tribulation to get them ready to lead, teach, and reform the Church in their stage two wilderness tribulation crucifixion. It is the same M.O. for two different groups of people and two different times. First we must be educated of the real Kingdom and its demands and then we need to take the test, the tribulation or trial.  Why are we wrong to think Trump is “The Antichrist”?    The Coming Prince of the Covenant  David Eells - 8-29-21 The majority of God's people will not recognize the beast and subsequently the covenant because of traditional, carnal, letter interpretations. (Dan.9:26)…The people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and even unto the end shall be war; desolations are determined. Notice that “the prince” whose people destroyed Jerusalem in 70 A.D. is also “he” in the same sentence who makes the covenant with many almost 2,000 years later! (27) And he shall make a firm covenant with many for one week…. The prince here is either a 2,000-year-old man, which Trump is not, or he is resurrected before the “first resurrection” that John saw after the Tribulation, or he is a spirit prince. Since the first conclusions are obviously not possible, we are left with a spirit prince. Here is a clue to the solution. All of the princes in Daniel's text were either angel princes or demon princes, who are called “principalities” in Ephesians 6:12. Of the three evil principalities mentioned, the first ruled over the Persian beast, the second ruled over the Grecian beast, and the third ruled over the Roman beast, which was the “prince that shall come” whose people destroyed Jerusalem. In Daniel's vision, a man clothed with linen who is described like Christ, said, (10:13) But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days; but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me.… (20)…I return to fight with the prince of Persia: and when I go forth, lo, the prince of Greece shall come. After the principalities of Persia and Greece came the principality of Rome. The sixth beast head of the world was Rome, which died and will be resurrected in the Tribulation. (Rev.13:3) And [I saw] one of his heads as though it had been smitten unto death; and his death-stroke was healed: and the whole earth wondered after the beast. The Roman Empire is being revived in our day. Its principality is returning “and he shall make a firm covenant with many for one week.” We also see here an angel prince, Michael, warring with these demon princes. (Dan.12:1) And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince who standeth for the children of thy people…. Notice that just as Michael is a prince from heaven, over a body inhabited by Christ the King, so this principality is returning from the abyss to rule over a beast body inhabited by Satan, a king. (Rev.17:8) The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and is about to come up out of the abyss, and to go into perdition…. This last beast with the seven heads, represents the seed of all the previous beasts in one UN body, which is the body of all lost mankind, whose spirits and souls are born from the abyss through the seed of hordes of demons from the abyss. (Joh.8:23) And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world. (For a much more complete teaching on this read our book Hidden Manna for the End Times.)   The True Nature of “The Antichrist" David Eells - 8-29-21 The majority of God's people have always been wrong on any given issue, so we dare not look for the truth in traditions. The people of God have been deluded by the traditions of men concerning the antichrist. While they are waiting for the handsome, charismatic, Satan-possessed leader to rise up and conquer the world, it is happening in the spirit under their noses. If you are not willing to add to or take away from the Word, look up the term “antichrist” everywhere it is used in the Bible and you will get a revelation. In fact, you will wonder where the traditional idea of him as an individual came from, provided you respect only the Scriptures. Among these verses we are told how to tell who the antichrist is. (1Jn.4:1) Beloved, believe not every spirit, but prove the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Notice that God speaks of discerning the spirits, plural, in men. (2)…Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: (Notice that the question is not has Christ come in the flesh but is He presently in the flesh of the people you are discerning.) (3) and every spirit that confesseth not Jesus is not of God: and this is the [spirit] of the antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it cometh; and now it is in the world already. We see that “every spirit” that is false is “the [spirit] of the antichrist.” The antichrist incorporates all whose spirit does not confess that Christ is in them. (4) Ye are of God, [my] little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world. There are only two corporate spirits, “he that is in you” (the Spirit of Christ), or “he that is in the world” (the spirit of the antichrist). All are one in Christ because they have His Spirit. (Gal.3:28)…Ye all are one [man] in Christ Jesus. (Rom.8:9)….If any man hath not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. However, Solomon revealed that the corporate body of the beast has one common, unregenerate spirit. (Ecc.3:18) I said in my heart, [It is] because of the sons of men…that they may see that they themselves are [but as] beasts. (19)…yea, they have all one breath (Hebrew: “spirit”)…. The Holy Spirit first recreates in one corporate man, the Body of Christ, the born again “life-giving spirit” (1Cor.15:45) of Jesus from heaven and then fills that spirit with Himself. A corporate body of unholy spirits also recreates in one corporate man a corporate spirit born from the abyss, the antichrist. (1Jn.5:19) We know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in the evil one. The beast is the body of man that is filled with the spirit and nature from below (Rev.17:8). In Daniel's vision of future great kingdoms that would rule the world, “four great beasts came up from the sea” (Dan.7:3). Scripturally there have been many corporate beasts but the one world corporate beast of Revelation is also coming. In Jesus' teachings we can see these opposing corporate men in the bodies of Christ and antichrist. (Mat.12:30) He that is not with me (Christ) is against me (antichrist)….(For a much more complete teaching on this read our book  Hidden Manna for the End Times.) (We suggest there is a fake WWIII that brings the Man-child body and a real WWIII at the beginning of the Tribulation. And there is an Armageddon war at the end of the Tribulation.) Some verses received by faith at random on 8-27-21 that point to a coming judgment of war. Larry. Jer 4:20-22  Destruction upon destruction is cried; for the whole land is laid waste: suddenly are my tents destroyed, and my curtains in a moment.  21  How long shall I see the standard, and hear the sound of the trumpet? (The first of seven trumpet judgments of the tribulation) 22  For my people are foolish, they know me not; they are sottish children, and they have no understanding; they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge. Amber. Jer 51:11  Make sharp the arrows; hold firm the shields: Jehovah hath stirred up the spirit of the kings of the Medes; because his purpose is against Babylon, to destroy it: for it is the vengeance of Jehovah, the vengeance of his temple. (This is the Lord's vengeance on Babylon for destroying His Temple, who are now the people of God, who are thoroughly conquered by the spirit of Babylon.) Winnie. Dan 5:18-21  O thou king, the Most High God gave Nebuchadnezzar thy father the kingdom, and greatness, and glory, and majesty:  19  and because of the greatness that he gave him, all the peoples, nations, and languages trembled and feared before him: whom he would he slew, and whom he would he kept alive; and whom he would he raised up, and whom he would he put down.  20  But when his heart was lifted up, and his spirit was hardened so that he dealt proudly, he was deposed from his kingly throne, and they took his glory from him:  21  and he was driven from the sons of men, and his heart was made like the beasts', and his dwelling was with the wild asses; he was fed with grass like oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven; until he knew that the Most High God ruleth in the kingdom of men, and that he setteth up over it whomsoever he will. - - (They were then rebuked for abusing the vessels of God's house and the hand writing of God came on the wall that brought the fall of Babylon to Cyrus. Trump will take office when this is fulfilled.) Leon. Eze 31:15-18  Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: In the day when he went down to Sheol I caused a mourning: I covered the deep for him, and I restrained the rivers thereof; and the great waters were stayed; and I caused Lebanon to mourn for him, and all the trees of the field fainted for him.  16  I made the nations to shake at the sound of his fall, when I cast him down to Sheol with them that descend into the pit; and all the trees of Eden, the choice and best of Lebanon, all that drink water, were comforted in the nether parts of the earth.  17  They also went down into Sheol with him unto them that are slain by the sword; yea, they that were his arm, that dwelt under his shadow in the midst of the nations.  18  To whom art thou thus like in glory and in greatness among the trees of Eden? yet shalt thou be brought down with the trees of Eden unto the nether parts of the earth: thou shalt lie in the midst of the uncircumcised, with them that are slain by the sword. This is Pharaoh and all his multitude, saith the Lord Jehovah. (If Egypt is indeed a type of the world you can see what a world war can do.) DF. Rev 18:14-20  And the fruits which thy soul lusted after are gone from thee, and all things that were dainty and sumptuous are perished from thee, and men shall find them no more at all.  15  The merchants of these things, who were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and mourning;  16  saying, Woe, woe, the great city, she that was arrayed in fine linen and purple and scarlet, and decked with gold and precious stone and pearl!  17  for in one hour so great riches is made desolate. And every shipmaster, and every one that saileth any whither, and mariners, and as many as gain their living by sea, stood afar off,  18  and cried out as they looked upon the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like the great city?  19  And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and mourning, saying, Woe, woe, the great city, wherein all that had their ships in the sea were made rich by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.  20  Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye saints, and ye apostles, and ye prophets; for God hath judged your judgment on her. (The great city is world Babylon.)   Select LanguageAfrikaansAlbanianAmharicArabicArmenianAzerbaijaniBasqueBelarusianBengaliBosnianBulgarianCatalanCebuanoChichewaChinese (Simplified)Chinese (Traditional)CorsicanCroatianCzechDanishDutchEsperantoEstonianFilipinoFinnishFrenchFrisianGalicianGeorgianGermanGreekGujaratiHaitian CreoleHausaHawaiianHebrewHindiHmongHungarianIcelandicIgboIndonesianIrishItalianJapaneseJavaneseKannadaKazakhKhmerKinyarwandaKoreanKurdish (Kurmanji)KyrgyzLaoLatinLatvianLithuanianLuxembourgishMacedonianMalagasyMalayMalayalamMalteseMaoriMarathiMongolianMyanmar (Burmese)NepaliNorwegianOdia (Oriya)PashtoPersianPolishPortuguesePunjabiRomanianRussianSamoanScots GaelicSerbianSesothoShonaSindhiSinhalaSlovakSlovenianSomaliSpanishSundaneseSwahiliSwedishTajikTamilTatarTeluguThaiTurkishTurkmenUkrainianUrduUyghurUzbekVietnameseWelshXhosaYiddishYorubaZulu Powered by Translate Printer-friendly version

Shadowing the Ganja Godfather, Rogers witnesses it all standing next to the Boss himself: violence, drugs, celebrities, girls, construction hustles, crime-family business meetings and social gatherings. From strip clubs in Atlantic City to Sunday night dinner with the wife and kids, Rogers experiences whatever the Ganja Godfather does on any given day. As exhilarating as Silvio's life had become, it certainly was much more stressful behind the scenes. Being the Empire State's spliff king was undoubtedly the hardest job in New York. And it was only after Silvio finally got to the top of the mountain that he realized just how easy it was to fall over the edge. With a wife and kids, dysfunctional family business obligations, and an out-of-control social life all pulling him in conflicting paths, Silvio struggled keep the empire moving forward without detection from law enforcement. But when he was introduced to a Colombian cocaine princess with aspirations to become a model, he saw an opportunity to expand the family's profit margins to unimaginable heights and risked it all despite the collision course with disaster he saw right before him.

She was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma, an incurable blood cancer. The situation intensified when 5 months after Sally's diagnosis, her husband was diagnosed with a genetic form of cancer. 8 months later, Pete passed away. At the age of 47, Sally had become widowed, was raising three kids, working full time, and living with multiple myeloma.   As a way to manage the stress, Sally started running up the stairs during her lunch break. This activity became more official as she transitioned into competitive stair climbing. She began channeling all of her energy raising money for charities with this new sport. Over the years Sally has raised over $110,000 for charities including the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation (MMRF). All the while, rising in the rankings for the tower runs to 5th in the United States and 20th overall in the world. But as her rankings improved, her cancer worsened, and she needed to start treatment in 2016. After a year of treatment, Sally underwent an autologous stem cell transplant in 2017.   Facing Multiple Myeloma has not been easy for Sally, it has its ups and downs. Though Sally is currently in remission, cancer looms large in her life. She still takes chemo as maintenance therapy, and since her husband's cancer was genetic, she worries about her kids needing to fight battles of their own.  Her resiliency and tenacious spirit powers her through all of this uncertainty and helps her to spread positivity and hope to others dealing with similar challenges. https://www.sallykalksma.com/book   ---   ATTN Trainers, Coaches, & Fitness Enthusiasts in the NJ, NY & Mid-Atlantic States   “An Evening of IMPACT with Todd Durkin” Keynote/Inspirational Talk & Social (LIVE & IN-PERSON) (as part of a DEKA Fit Event) Sept 17, 2021   A motivational talk (Live & IN-PERSON) for trainers, gym owners, fit-pros, and anyone who wants 90-minutes of pure adrenaline infused into their veins.

Season 2: Episode 9 Jon Platt   Welcome to Episode 9, Season 2 of Song Chronicles. Our special guest is Jon Platt, the Chairman and CEO of Sony Music Publishing – a man Jay-Z proclaimed as the “the Obama of the music industry.”     Jon took a quite unusual path to becoming one of the most powerful and influential (music) publishers of the past 25 years," according to Variety. Born in Philadelphia and raised in Oakland, Jon was a high school student in Denver when he took his first step into the music industry. While working in a sporting goods store, he befriended a local DJ named Thomas Edwards, who showed Jon the deejaying basics and he soon became a popular club DJ.   Jon with Chuck D. photo by Desiree Navarro/Wire Image   Jon's next life-changing moment came when Jon was MC'ing a Public Enemy/Ice Cube concert. He got to talking with Public Enemy's front-man, Chuck D, who told Jon not to settle for just being a DJ. “My music dream started the next day from that day,” Jon reveals in our conversation.   with Jay-Z   Inspired by Chuck D's words, Jon began managing some songwriters and producers in Los Angeles. In 1995, he got a low-rung job in EMI's A&R department and quickly struck gold by signing Marqueze Etheridge, co-writer of the TLC's smash, “Waterfalls,” one of the year's – and the decade's – mega hits. He credits his “DJ instincts” for his talent for breaking records like “Waterfalls” as well as his role behind the making of the Jay-Z/Alicia Keys smash single, “Empire State of Mind.”   Jon (on the right) with Sean Combs, Jay-Z, and Clarence Avant, one of Platt's mentor figures. Photo by Kevin Mazur/Getty Image   At EMI Music Publishing, Jon signed Kanye West, Jay-Z, Diddy, Beyoncè, Drake, and Usher, while working his way up to being President of North America, Creative in 2011. He later moved Warner/Chappell, where he was appointed Chairman and CEO in 2015. Then in 2019, he took the same positions at Sony Music Publishing, the world's No. 1 global music publisher with a catalog of over three million songs.       Highly respected inside and outside the music business, Jon has received such honors as SESAC's Visionary Award, Morehouse College's Candle Award in Music, Business and Entertainment, and Black Radio Exclusive Magazine's Man of the Year, and has been a perennial presence on Billboard's prestigious Power 100 list.   with Pharrell Williams. Photo by Frazer Harrison, Getty Images   Jon's most cherished honor, however, is the City of Hope's Spirit of Life Award - because the event raised more than $6 million for the hospital. He wholeheartedly believes in the importance of helping people because you can help. This belief is underscored in the story he shares about assisting in getting Kanye West onto Usher's Confession tour along with his many philanthropic endeavors – such as starting the Big Jon Platt Scholarship Program in 2005 to help Denver high school students go to college.   Jon with his wife, Angie, Usher, and Rita Ora   He's extremely proud too for being able to assist songwriters during the pandemic. Jon, who has championed songwriters throughout his career, helped to have Sony's COVID Global Relief Fund donate over $2 million to songwriters – and not just Sony Music Publishing songwriters -worldwide. We also discuss the Music Modernization Act, which he believes is a step in the right direction for songwriting compensation. It's important, Jon says, “to do the right thing by songwriters.”   Photo by Mary Beth Koeth   Please enjoy this very special conversation with Jon Platt as he offers his perceptive personal insights along with talking about his unique place in the music business, and his love for music and music-makers.  

Tuesday 17th August 2021 Markets remain unsure as to the speed of the global recovery, but there's mounting evidence that the full extent of the rebound will be delayed. That's obviously the case in Australia, but the US we reported on Friday's falling consumer sentiment, overnight the Empire State manufacturing index underwhelmed. This will increase the focus on US retail sales today. Overnight, though, the response has been to data from China, where retail sales, industrial production and fixed asset investment – were all weaker than anticipated, with the unemployment rate ticking up a little too. NAB's Ray Attrill talks through NAB's revised forecast for China's growth. Locally the RBA minutes are out today, but they are somewhat out of date, given the change in circumstances.

NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced his resignation on Tuesday, a week after State AG Tish James issued a scathing report detailing accusations of sexual harassment and one day after state lawmakers convened for impeachment proceedings. Underscoring both the tarnished brand of her soon-to-be predecessor and the public's desire for a reset, Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) is signaling the start of a new era in Albany politics as she prepares to become the Empire State's first female governor and the first governor since Grover Cleveland to represent Western New York. Public Strategies' NY team, including Ken Fisher, Stuart Shorenstein, Katie Schwab, Rose Christ, and Jamie Ansorge, discuss Ms. Hochul's experience and leadership style, how it stands in sharp contrast to Cuomo's, and what the transition may mean for the future of New York City and State.

There are two major scandals making their way across the media today. However, like much of what passes for "news" in this country, the coverage is shoddy and incompetent at best. Yes, Biden has extended the CDC's eviction moratorium, but the reporting about a "Constitutional Crisis" is overblown. And as for what is happening, or more accurately what is not happening, in New York State, the reports I've seen are a pale reflection of the atrocity of injustice that is underway in the Empire State. If we want to handle both of these situations properly and justly, we need to start with a clear eye and an objective look at what has really happened. Only then can we react to seek liberty and justice for all involved. 

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo announces the terms of his own exit, (although he did nothing wrong), after the Empire State attorney general's announcement that he violated state and federal law by sexually harassing 11 women. Why do we let our elected officials flagrantly violate societal norms, workplace rules and actual laws?

I guess nothing is sacred any longer in the United States—certainly not elections, legal process, fairness, or the presumption of innocence. In a 165-page report by New York's Attorney General, Andrew Cuomo was accused of a pattern of sexual harassment involving eleven women. The governor denied it, but has now announced his intention to resign from office. Seriously? Were I a New Yorker, I would feel betrayed, especially if I had voted for the man. He owes more to the people of the Empire State that this ignominious retreat from confronting charges he denies. We've become a republic of pusillanimous wimps. The claims against Cuomo are that he kissed, hugged, and groped women with whom he worked, and that he sometimes talked about sex with them.  He was single. He hugs and kisses men, too. What next, a parade of men who he's hugged or kissed under the banner #HimToo? I was hopeful that the #MeToo movement had run its course during the pandemic, the hysteria spent and now flowing in other directions. My hopes are dashed. Flirtation is a crime and victimhood the new national pastime. Cuomo's decision to cut and run is a major disappointment. I thought he was a fighter. He's not. He's a pussy.

Earlier this year, New York joined the growing list of states to legalize recreational marijuana. But the Empire State's law goes a step further by automatically expunging hundreds of thousands of cannabis-related criminal convictions, offering a clean slate to those hampered by aggressive enforcement in the past. Law360 reporter Marco Poggio joins the show this week to break down the impact of this provision, the challenges that lie ahead, and the likelihood of other states following New York's lead. Also this week: intrigue in Florida where a federal judge ordered a new trial after learning government prosecutors had deliberately spied on defense strategy meetings; and a huge jury award for a former Walmart employee fired after the company refused to accommodate her disability.
