Approval - Request to move funds from Jail-Lapse Salaries to Inmate Medical to cover expected shortage for remainder of FY 23/24. The Over Cost Pool Limit (OCP) for Southern Health Partners for April was higher than the previous months due to two inmates with serious medical conditions that required hospitalization which resulted in an invoice that was almost quadruple the previous month's cost. Because of this, the budget line may fall short for May and June's OCP invoices.

Today on "Breaking with Brett Jensen," Brett shares the story of a deleted Tweet from the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services that was quickly, and suspiciously, deleted. As Brett saw the department tweet a reply to a post regarding abortion in Missouri, one unidentified individual decided to share their thoughts on the Tweet. As he was about to ask the department about the appropriateness of the Tweet, he noticed it had been deleted.  This raised many questions, such as who was behind the Tweet and how was it allowed + the clues he's seen that makes him doubt the account was hacked.

As the philospher Goethe wrote: “No man is more hopelessly enslaved than he who WRONGLY BELIEVES that he is free.”When your mind allows you to accept and understand that the United States, Great Brittan and the Vatican are Corporations which are nothing but fictional entities which have been placed in your mind, you will understand our slavery remains primarily because we believe in false fictions.The Illusion is MUCH larger than the irrefutable 30 points above, and the 30 points above are not even the tip of the tip of the iceberg. But it is, at least a starting point.

Announcements ACP State Regulatory Public Comment Period from SMED "Join us Friday Aug. 18th to tell the NC Dept of Environmental Quality to reject the 401 water  quality certification for the Atlantic Coast Pipeline. The construction of the ACP threatens our wetlands, streams, rivers, springs and wells. Additionally it will destroy sites sacred to the Lumbee and Tuscarora peoples, and sieze people's family farms for the private gain of  energy companies like Duke Energy and Dominion. The fracked gas that the ACP will bring to market will create greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to constructing 20 new coal plants or adding 14 million cars to the road. In the meantime please submit a public comment to the DEQ by Aug 19th telling them to reject the ACP:     Mail your own comments to: 401 Permitting, 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC, 27699-1617.     Email your own comments to: PublicComments@ncdenr.gov (include “ACP” in the email's subject line)" To learn more about Smoky Mountain Eco Defense you can visit listen to an interview that Bursts did with Whitney, who spoke about the logistical and environmental impacts the pipeline would have plus the impact on human and non human life, plus some of the context to its resistance.
