Each witness whotestified on behalf of the Debtors in connection with the Confirmation Hearing was credible,reliable, and qualified to testify as to the topics addressed in his testimony.L. Compliance with the Requirements of Section 1129 of the BankruptcyCode.13. The Plan complies with all applicable provisions of section 1129 of theBankruptcy Code as follows:a. Section 1129(a)(1) – Compliance of the Plan with Applicable Provisions of theBankruptcy Code.14. The Plan complies with all applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code,including sections 1122 and 1123, as required by section 1129(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code.i. Section 1122 and 1123(a)(1) – Proper Classification.15. The classification of Claims and Interests under the Plan is proper under theBankruptcy Code. In accordance with sections 1122(a) and 1123(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code,Article III of the Plan provides for the separate classification of Claims and Interests at each Debtorinto Classes, based on differences in the legal nature or priority of such Claims and Interests (otherCaCsaes e2 42-49-09507557 5 D oDcoucmumenetn 2t 9266-32 FFiilleedd iinn TTXXSSBB oonn 1021//3113//2245 PPaaggee 91 0o fo 1f 3143510than Administrative Claims, Professional Fee Claims, and Priority Tax Claims, which areaddressed in Article II of the Plan and Unimpaired, and are not required to be designated asseparate Classes in accordance with section 1123(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code). Valid business,factual, and legal reasons exist for the separate classification of the various Classes of Claims andInterests created under the Plan, the classifications were not implemented for any improperpurpose, and the creation of such Classes does not unfairly discriminate between or among holdersof Claims or Interests.16. In accordance with section 1122(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, each Class ofClaims or Interests contains only Claims or Interests substantially similar to the other Claims orInterests within that Class. Accordingly, the Plan satisfies the requirements of sections 1122(a),1122(b), and 1123(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Codeii. Section 1123(a)(2) – Specifications of Unimpaired Classes.17. Article III of the Plan specifies that Claims and Interests in the classesdeemed to accept the Plan are Unimpaired under the Plan. Holders of Intercompany Claims andIntercompany Interests are either Unimpaired and conclusively presumed to have accepted thePlan, or are Impaired and deemed to reject (the “Deemed Rejecting Classes”) the Plan, and, ineither event, are not entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan. In addition, Article II of the Planspecifies that Administrative Claims and Priority Tax Claims are Unimpaired, although the Plandoes not classify these Claims. Accordingly, the Plan satisfies the requirements of section1123(a)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code.CCaassee 2 244-9-900557755 D Dooccuummeennt t2 29663-2 F Fileiledd i nin T TXXSSBB o onn 1 021/3/113/2/245 P Paaggee 1 101 o of f1 1334511iii. Section 1123(a)(3) – Specification of Treatment of Voting Classes18. Article III.B of the Plan specifies the treatment of each Voting Class underthe Plan – namely, Class 3 and Class 5. Accordingly, the Plan satisfies the requirements of section1123(a)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code.iv. Section 1123(a)(4) – No Discrimination.19. Article III of the Plan provides the same treatment to each Claim or Interestin any particular Class, as the case may be, unless the holder of a particular Claim or Interest hasagreed to a less favorable treatment with respect to such Claim or Interest. Accordingly, the Plansatisfies the requirements of section 1123(a)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code.v. Section 1123(a)(5) – Adequate Means for Plan Implementation.20. The Plan and the various documents included in the Plan Supplementprovide adequate and proper means for the Plan's execution and implementation, including: (a)the general settlement of Claims and Interests; (b) the restructuring of the Debtors' balance sheetand other financial transactions provided for by the Plan; (c) the consummation of the transactionscontemplated by the Plan, the Lock-Up Agreement, the Restructuring Implementation Deed andthe Agreed Steps Plan and other documents Filed as part of the Plan Supplement; (d) the issuanceof Exchange Notes, the New Money Notes, and the Noteholder Ordinary Shares pursuant to thePlan; (e) the amendment of the Intercreditor Agreement; (f) the amendment of the FacilityAgreement; (g) the amendment of the Senior Secured Term Loan Agreement; (h) theconsummation of the Rights Offering in accordance with the Plan, Rights Offering Documentsand the Lock-Up Agreement; (i) the granting of all Liens and security interests granted orconfirmed (as applicable) pursuant to, or in connection with, the Facility Agreement, the ExchangeNotes Indenture, the New Money Notes Indenture, the amended Intercreditor Agreement and theCCaassee 2 244-9-900557755 D Dooccuummeennt t2 29663-2 F Fileiledd i nin T TXXSSBB o onn 1 021/3/113/2/245 P Paaggee 1 112 o of f1 1334512Senior Secured Term Loan Agreement pursuant to the New Security Documents (including anyLiens and security interests granted or confirmed (as applicable) on the Reorganized Debtors'assets); (j) the vesting of the assets of the Debtors' Estates in the Reorganized Debtors; (k) theconsummation of the corporate reorganization contemplated by the Plan, the Lock-Up Agreement,the Agreed Steps Plan and the Master Reorganization Agreement (as defined in the RestructuringImplementation Deed); and (l) the execution, delivery, filing, or recording of all contracts,instruments, releases, and other agreements or documents in furtherance of the Plan. Accordingly,the Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1123(a)(5) of the Bankruptcy Codevi. Section 1123(a)(6) – Non-Voting Equity Securities.21. The Company's organizational documents in accordance with the SwedishCompanies Act, Ch. 4, Sec 5 and the Plan prohibit the issuance of non-voting securities as of theEffective Date to the extent required to comply with section 1123(a)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code.Accordingly, the Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1123(a)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code.vii. Section 1123(a)(7) – Directors, Officers, and Trustees.22. The manner of selection of any officer, director, or trustee (or any successorto and such officer, director, or trustee) of the Reorganized Debtors will be determined inaccordance with the existing organizational documents, which is consistent with the interests ofcreditors and equity holders and with public policy. Accordingly, the Plan satisfies therequirements of section 1123(a)(7) of the Bankruptcy Code.b. Section 1123(b) – Discretionary Contents of the Plan23. The Plan contains various provisions that may be construed as discretionarybut not necessary for Confirmation under the Bankruptcy Code. Any such discretionary provisionCCaassee 2 244-9-900557755 D Dooccuummeennt t2 29663-2 F Fileiledd i nin T TXXSSBB o onn 1 021/3/113/2/245 P Paaggee 1 123 o of f1 1334513complies with section 1123(b) of the Bankruptcy Code and is not inconsistent with the applicableprovisions of the Bankruptcy Code. Thus, the Plan satisfies section 1123(b).i. Section 1123(b)(1) – Impairment/Unimpairment of Any Class of Claims orInterests24. Article III of the Plan impairs or leaves unimpaired, as the case may be,each Class of Claims or Interests, as contemplated by section 1123(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code.ii. Section 1123(b)(2) – Assumption and Rejection of Executory Contracts andUnexpired Leases25. Article V of the Plan provides for the assumption of the Debtors' ExecutoryContracts and Unexpired Leases as of the Effective Date unless such Executory Contract orUnexpired Lease: (a) is identified on the Rejected Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease List;(b) has been previously rejected by a Final Order; (c) is the subject of a motion to reject ExecutoryContracts or Unexpired Leases that is pending on the Confirmation Date; or (4) is subject to amotion to reject an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease pursuant to which the requestedeffective date of such rejection is after the Effective Date. Thus, the Plan satisfies section1123(b)(2).iii. Compromise and Settlement26. In accordance with section 1123(b)(3)(A) of the Bankruptcy Code andBankruptcy Rule 9019, and in consideration for the distributions and other benefits provided underthe Plan, the provisions of the Plan constitute a good-faith compromise of all Claims, Interests,and controversies relating to the contractual, legal, and subordination rights that all holders ofClaims or Interests may have with respect to any Allowed Claim or Interest or any distribution tobe made on account of such Allowed Claim or Interest. Such compromise and settlement is theproduct of extensive arm's-length, good faith negotiations that, in addition to the Plan, resulted inCCaassee 2 244-9-900557755 D Dooccuummeennt t2 29663-2 F Fileiledd i nin T TXXSSBB o onn 1 021/3/113/2/245 P Paaggee 1 134 o of f1 1334514the execution of the Lock-Up Agreement, which represents a fair and reasonable compromise ofall Claims, Interests, and controversies and entry into which represented a sound exercise of theDebtors' business judgment. Such compromise and settlement is fair, equitable, and reasonableand in the best interests of the Debtors and their Estates.27. The releases of the Debtors' directors and officers are an integral componentof the settlements and compromises embodied in the Plan. The Debtors' directors and officers: (a)made a substantial and valuable contribution to the Debtors' restructuring, including extensive preandpost-Petition Date negotiations with stakeholder groups, and ensured the uninterruptedoperation of the Debtors' businesses during the Chapter 11 Cases; (b) invested significant timeand effort to make the restructuring a success and maximize the value of the Debtors' businessesin a challenging operating environment; (c) attended and, in certain instances, testified atdepositions and Court hearings; (d) attended and participated in numerous stakeholder meetings,management meetings, and board meetings related to the restructuring; (e) are entitled toindemnification from the Debtors under applicable non-bankruptcy law, organizationaldocuments, and agreements; (f) invested significant time and effort in the preparation of the Lock-Up Agreement, the Plan, Disclosure Statement, all supporting analyses, and the numerous otherpleadings Filed in the Chapter 11 Cases, thereby ensuring the smooth administration of the Chapter11 Cases; and (g) are entitled to all other benefits under any employment contracts existing as ofthe Petition Date. Litigation by the Debtors or other Releasing Parties against the Debtors'directors and officers would be a distraction to the Debtors' business and restructuring and woulddecrease rather than increase the value of the estates. The releases of the Debtors' directors andofficers contained in the Plan have the consent of the Debtors and the Releasing Parties and are inthe best interests of the estates.CCaassee 2 244-9-900557755 D Dooccuummeennt t2 29663-2 F Fileiledd i nin T TXXSSBB o onn 1 021/3/113/2/245 P Paaggee 1 145 o of f1 1334515iv. Debtor Release28. The releases of claims and Causes of Action by the Debtors, ReorganizedDebtors, and their Estates described in Article VIII.C of the Plan in accordance with section1123(b) of the Bankruptcy Code (the “Debtor Release”) represent a valid exercise of the Debtors'business judgment under Bankruptcy Rule 9019. The Debtors' or the Reorganized Debtors' pursuitof any such claims against the Released Parties is not in the best interests of the Estates' variousconstituencies because the costs involved would outweigh any potential benefit from pursuingsuch claims. The Debtor Release is fair and equitable and complies with the absolute priority rule.29. The Debtor Release is (a) an integral part of the Plan, and a component ofthe comprehensive settlement implemented under the Plan; (b) in exchange for the good andvaluable consideration provided by the Released Parties; (c) a good faith settlement andcompromise of the claims and Causes of Action released by the Debtor Release; (d) materiallybeneficial to, and in the best interests of, the Debtors, their Estates, and their stakeholders, and isimportant to the overall objectives of the Plan to finally resolve certain Claims among or againstcertain parties in interest in the Chapter 11 Cases; (e) fair, equitable, and reasonable; (f) given andmade after due notice and opportunity for hearing; and (g) a bar to any Debtor asserting any claimor Cause of Action released by the Debtor Release against any of the Released Parties. Theprobability of success in litigation with respect to the released claims and Causes of Action, whenweighed against the costs, supports the Debtor Release. With respect to each of these potentialCauses of Action, the parties could assert colorable defenses and the probability of success isuncertain. The Debtors' or the Reorganized Debtors' pursuit of any such claims or Causes ofAction against the Released Parties is not in the best interests of the Estates or the Debtors' variousCCaassee 2 244-9-900557755 D Dooccuummeennt t2 29663-2 F Fileiledd i nin T TXXSSBB o onn 1 021/3/113/2/245 P Paaggee 1 156 o of f1 1334516constituencies because the costs involved would likely outweigh any potential benefit frompursuing such claims or Causes of Action30. Holders of Claims and Interests entitled to vote have overwhelmingly votedin favor of the Plan, including the Debtor Release. The Plan, including the Debtor Release, wasnegotiated before and after the Petition Date by sophisticated parties represented by able counseland advisors, including the Consenting Creditors. The Debtor Release is therefore the result of ahard fought and arm's-length negotiation process conducted in good faith.31. The Debtor Release appropriately offers protection to parties thatparticipated in the Debtors' restructuring process, including the Consenting Creditors, whoseparticipation in the Chapter 11 Cases is critical to the Debtors' successful emergence frombankruptcy. Specifically, the Released Parties, including the Consenting Creditors, madesignificant concessions and contributions to the Chapter 11 Cases, including, entering into theLock-Up Agreement and related agreements, supporting the Plan and the Chapter 11 Cases, andwaiving or agreeing to impair substantial rights and Claims against the Debtors under the Plan (aspart of the compromises composing the settlement underlying the revised Plan) in order tofacilitate a consensual reorganization and the Debtors' emergence from chapter 11. The DebtorRelease for the Debtors' directors and officers is appropriate because the Debtors' directors andofficers share an identity of interest with the Debtors and, as previously stated, supported and madesubstantial contributions to the success of the Plan, the Chapter 11 Cases, and operation of theDebtors' business during the Chapter 11 Cases, actively participated in meetings, negotiations, andimplementation during the Chapter 11 Cases, and have provided other valuable consideration tothe Debtors to facilitate the Debtors' successful reorganization and continued operation.CCaassee 2 244-9-900557755 D Dooccuummeennt t2 29663-2 F Fileiledd i nin T TXXSSBB o onn 1 021/3/113/2/245 P Paaggee 1 167 o of f1 133451732. The scope of the Debtor Release is appropriately tailored under the factsand circumstances of the Chapter 11 Cases. In light of, among other things, the value provided bythe Released Parties to the Debtors' Estates and the critical nature of the Debtor Release to thePlan, the Debtor Release is appropriate.v. Release by Holders of Claims and Interests33. The release by the Releasing Parties (the “Third-Party Release”), set forthin Article VIII.D of the Plan, is an essential provision of the Plan. The Third-Party Release is: (a)consensual as to those Releasing Parties that did not specifically and timely object or properly optout from the Third-Party Release; (b) within the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court pursuant to28 U.S.C. § 1334; (c) in exchange for the good and valuable consideration provided by theReleased Parties; (d) a good faith settlement and compromise of the claims and Causes of Actionreleased by the Third-Party Release; (e) materially beneficial to, and in the best interests of, theDebtors, their Estates, and their stakeholders, and is important to the overall objectives of the Planto finally resolve certain Claims among or against certain parties in interest in the Chapter 11Cases; (f) fair, equitable, and reasonable; (g) given and made after due notice and opportunity forhearing; (h) appropriately narrow in scope given that it expressly excludes, among other things,any Cause of Action that is judicially determined by a Final Order to have constituted actual fraud,willful misconduct, or gross negligence; (i) a bar to any of the Releasing Parties asserting anyclaim or Cause of Action released by the Third-Party Release against any of the Released Parties;and (j) consistent with sections 105, 524, 1123, 1129, and 1141 and other applicable provisions ofthe Bankruptcy Code.34. The Third-Party Release is an integral part of the agreement embodied inthe Plan among the relevant parties in interest. Like the Debtor Release, the Third-Party ReleaseCCaassee 2 244-9-900557755 D Dooccuummeennt t2 29663-2 F Fileiledd i nin T TXXSSBB o onn 1 021/3/113/2/245 P Paaggee 1 178 o of f1 1334518facilitated participation in both the Debtors' Plan and the chapter 11 process generally. The Third-Party Release is instrumental to the Plan and was critical in incentivizing parties to support thePlan and preventing significant and time-consuming litigation regarding the parties' respectiverights and interests. The Third-Party Release was a core negotiation point in connection with thePlan and instrumental in developing the Plan that maximized value for all of the Debtors'stakeholders and kept the Debtors intact as a going concern. As such, the Third-Party Releaseappropriately offers certain protections to parties who constructively participated in the Debtors'restructuring process—including the Consenting Creditors (as set forth above)—by, among otherthings, facilitating the negotiation and consummation of the Plan, supporting the Plan and, in thecase of the Backstop Providers, committing to provide new capital to facilitate the Debtors'emergence from chapter 11. Specifically, the Notes Ad Hoc Group proposed and negotiated thepari passu transaction that is the basis of the restructuring proposed under the Plan and provideda much-needed deleveraging to the Debtors' business while taking a discount on their Claims (inexchange for other consideration).35. Furthermore, the Third-Party Release is consensual as to all parties ininterest, including all Releasing Parties, and such parties in interest were provided notice of thechapter 11 proceedings, the Plan, the deadline to object to confirmation of the Plan, and theCombined Hearing and were properly informed that all holders of Claims against or Interests inthe Debtors that did not file an objection with the Court in the Chapter 11 Cases that included anexpress objection to the inclusion of such holder as a Releasing Party under the provisionscontained in Article VIII of the Plan would be deemed to have expressly, unconditionally,generally, individually, and collectively consented to the release and discharge of all claims andCauses of Action against the Debtors and the Released Parties. Additionally, the release provisionsCCaassee 2 244-9-900557755 D Dooccuummeennt t2 29663-2 F Fileiledd i nin T TXXSSBB o onn 1 021/3/113/2/245 P Paaggee 1 189 o of f1 1334519of the Plan were conspicuous, emphasized with boldface type in the Plan, the DisclosureStatement, the Ballots, and the applicable notices. Except as set forth in the Plan, all ReleasingParties were properly informed that unless they (a) checked the “opt out” box on the applicableBallot or opt-out form and returned the same in advance of the Voting Deadline, as applicable, or(b) timely Filed an objection to the releases contained in the Plan that was not resolved beforeentry of this Confirmation Order, they would be deemed to have expressly consented to the releaseof all Claims and Causes of Action against the Released Parties.36. The Ballots sent to all holders of Claims and Interests entitled to vote, aswell as the notice of the Combined Hearing sent to all known parties in interest (including thosenot entitled to vote on the Plan), unambiguously provided in bold letters that the Third-PartyRelease was contained in the Plan.37. The scope of the Third-Party Release is appropriately tailored under thefacts and circumstances of the Chapter 11 Cases, and parties in interest received due and adequatenotice of the Third-Party Release. Among other things, the Plan provides appropriate and specificdisclosure with respect to the claims and Causes of Action that are subject to the Third-PartyRelease, and no other disclosure is necessary. The Debtors, as evidenced by the VotingDeclaration and Certificate of Publication, including by providing actual notice to all knownparties in interest, including all known holders of Claims against, and Interests in, any Debtor andpublishing notice in international and national publications for the benefit of unknown parties ininterest, provided sufficient notice of the Third-Party Release, and no further or other notice isnecessary. The Third-Party Release is designed to provide finality for the Debtors, theReorganized Debtors and the Released Parties regarding the parties' respective obligations underthe Plan. For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary, anyparty who timely opted-out of the Third-Party Release is not bound by the Third-PartyRelease.CCaassee 2 244-9-900557755 D Dooccuummeennt t2 29663-2 F Fileiledd i nin T TXXSSBB o onn 1 021/3/113/2/245 P Paaggee 1 290 o of f1 133452038. The Third-Party Release is specific in language, integral to the Plan, andgiven for substantial consideration. The Releasing Parties were given due and adequate notice ofthe Third-Party Release, and thus the Third-Party Release is consensual under controllingprecedent as to those Releasing Parties that did not specifically and timely object. In light of,among other things, the value provided by the Released Parties to the Debtors' Estates and theconsensual and critical nature of the Third-Party Release to the Plan, the Third-Party Release isappropriatevi. Exculpation.39. The exculpation described in Article VIII.E of the Plan (the “Exculpation”)is appropriate under applicable law, including In re Highland Capital Mgmt., L.P., 48 F. 4th 419(5th Cir. 2022), because it was supported by proper evidence, proposed in good faith, wasformulated following extensive good-faith, arm's-length negotiations with key constituents, and isappropriately limited in scope.40. No Entity or Person may commence or continue any action, employ anyprocess, or take any other act to pursue, collect, recover or offset any Claim, Interest, debt,obligation, or Cause of Action relating or reasonably likely to relate to any act or commission inconnection with, relating to, or arising out of a Covered Matter (including one that alleges theactual fraud, gross negligence, or willful misconduct of a Covered Entity), unless expresslyauthorized by the Bankruptcy Court after (1) it determines, after a notice and a hearing, such Claim,Interest, debt, obligation, or Cause of Action is colorable and (2) it specifically authorizes suchEntity or Person to bring such Claim or Cause of Action. The Bankruptcy Court shall have soleand exclusive jurisdiction to determine whether any such Claim, Interest, debt, obligation or Causeof Action is colorable and, only to the extent legally permissible and as provided for in Article XI,CCaassee 2 244-9-900557755 D Dooccuummeennt t2 29663-2 F Fileiledd i nin T TXXSSBB o onn 1 021/3/113/2/245 P Paaggee 2 201 o of f1 1334521shall have jurisdiction to adjudicate such underlying colorable Claim, Interest, debt, obligation, orCause of Action.vii. Injunction.41. The injunction provisions set forth in Article VIII.F of the Plan are essentialto the Plan and are necessary to implement the Plan and to preserve and enforce the discharge,Debtor Release, the Third-Party Release, and the Exculpation provisions in Article VIII of thePlan. The injunction provisions are appropriately tailored to achieve those purposes.viii. Preservation of Claims and Causes of Action.42. Article IV.L of the Plan appropriately provides for the preservation by theDebtors of certain Causes of Action in accordance with section 1123(b) of the Bankruptcy Code.Causes of Action not released by the Debtors or exculpated under the Plan will be retained by theReorganized Debtors as provided by the Plan. The Plan is sufficiently specific with respect to theCauses of Action to be retained by the Debtors, and the Plan and Plan Supplement providemeaningful disclosure with respect to the potential Causes of Action that the Debtors may retain,and all parties in interest received adequate notice with respect to such retained Causes of Action.The provisions regarding Causes of Action in the Plan are appropriate and in the best interests ofthe Debtors, their respective Estates, and holders of Claims or Interests. For the avoidance of anydoubt, Causes of Action released or exculpated under the Plan will not be retained by theReorganized Debtors.c. Section 1123(d) – Cure of Defaults43. Article V.D of the Plan provides for the satisfaction of Cure Claimsassociated with each Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease to be assumed in accordance withsection 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code. Any monetary defaults under each assumed ExecutoryCCaassee 2 244-9-900557755 D Dooccuummeennt t2 29663-2 F Fileiledd i nin T TXXSSBB o onn 1 021/3/113/2/245 P Paaggee 2 212 o of f1 1334522Contract or Unexpired Lease shall be satisfied, pursuant to section 365(b)(1) of the BankruptcyCode, by payment of the default amount in Cash on the Effective Date, subject to the limitationsdescribed in Article V.D of the Plan, or on such other terms as the parties to such ExecutoryContracts or Unexpired Leases may otherwise agree. Any Disputed Cure Amounts will bedetermined in accordance with the procedures set forth in Article V.D of the Plan, and applicablebankruptcy and nonbankruptcy law. As such, the Plan provides that the Debtors will Cure, orprovide adequate assurance that the Debtors will promptly Cure, defaults with respect to assumedExecutory Contracts and Unexpired Leases in accordance with section 365(b)(1) of theBankruptcy Code. Thus, the Plan complies with section 1123(d) of the Bankruptcy Code.d. Section 1129(a)(2) – Compliance of the Debtors and Others with the ApplicableProvisions of the Bankruptcy Code.44. The Debtors, as proponents of the Plan, have complied with all applicableprovisions of the Bankruptcy Code as required by section 1129(a)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code,including sections 1122, 1123, 1124, 1125, 1126, and 1128, and Bankruptcy Rules 3017, 3018,and 3019.e. Section 1129(a)(3) – Proposal of Plan in Good Faith.45. The Debtors have proposed the Plan in good faith, in accordance with theBankruptcy Code requirements, and not by any means forbidden by law. In determining that thePlan has been proposed in good faith, the Court has examined the totality of the circumstancesfiling of the Chapter 11 Cases, including the formation of Intrum AB of Texas LLC (“IntrumTexas”), the Plan itself, and the process leading to its formulation. The Debtors' good faith isevident from the facts and record of the Chapter 11 Cases, the Disclosure Statement, and the recordof the Combined Hearing and other proceedings held in the Chapter 11 CasesCCaassee 2 244-9-900557755 D Dooccuummeennt t2 29663-2 F Fileiledd i nin T TXXSSBB o onn 1 021/3/113/2/245 P Paaggee 2 223 o of f1 133452346. The Plan (including the Plan Supplement and all other documents necessaryto effectuate the Plan) is the product of good faith, arm's-length negotiations by and among theDebtors, the Debtors' directors and officers and the Debtors' key stakeholders, including theConsenting Creditors and each of their respective professionals. The Plan itself and the processleading to its formulation provide independent evidence of the Debtors' and such other parties'good faith, serve the public interest, and assure fair treatment of holders of Claims or Interests.Consistent with the overriding purpose of chapter 11, the Debtors Filed the Chapter 11 Cases withthe belief that the Debtors were in need of reorganization and the Plan was negotiated and proposedwith the intention of accomplishing a successful reorganization and maximizing stakeholder value,and for no ulterior purpose. Accordingly, the requirements of section 1129(a)(3) of the BankruptcyCode are satisfied.f. Section 1129(a)(4) – Court Approval of Certain Payments as Reasonable.47. Any payment made or to be made by the Debtors, or by a person issuingsecurities or acquiring property under the Plan, for services or costs and expenses in connectionwith the Chapter 11 Cases, or in connection with the Plan and incident to the Chapter 11 Cases,has been approved by, or is subject to the approval of, the Court as reasonable. Accordingly, thePlan satisfies the requirements of section 1129(a)(4).g. Section 1129(a)(5)—Disclosure of Directors and Officers and Consistency with theInterests of Creditors and Public Policy.48. The identities of or process for appointment of the Reorganized Debtors'directors and officers proposed to serve after the Effective Date were disclosed in the PlanSupplement in advance of the Combined Hearing. Accordingly, the Debtors have satisfied therequirements of section 1129(a)(5) of the Bankruptcy Code.CCaassee 2 244-9-900557755 D Dooccuummeennt t2 29663-2 F Fileiledd i nin T TXXSSBB o onn 1 021/3/113/2/245 P Paaggee 2 234 o of f1 1334524h. Section 1129(a)(6)—Rate Changes.49. The Plan does not contain any rate changes subject to the jurisdiction of anygovernmental regulatory commission and therefore will not require governmental regulatoryapproval. Therefore, section 1129(a)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code does not apply to the Plan.i. Section 1129(a)(7)—Best Interests of Holders of Claims and Interests.50. The liquidation analysis attached as Exhibit D to the Disclosure Statementand the other evidence in support of the Plan that was proffered or adduced at the CombinedHearing, and the facts and circumstances of the Chapter 11 Cases are (a) reasonable, persuasive,credible, and accurate as of the dates such analysis or evidence was prepared, presented orproffered; (b) utilize reasonable and appropriate methodologies and assumptions; (c) have not beencontroverted by other evidence; and (d) establish that each holder of Allowed Claims or Interestsin each Class will recover as much or more value under the Plan on account of such Claim orInterest, as of the Effective Date, than the amount such holder would receive if the Debtors wereliquidated on the Effective Date under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code or has accepted the Plan.As a result, the Debtors have demonstrated that the Plan is in the best interests of their creditorsand equity holders and the requirements of section 1129(a)(7) of the Bankruptcy Code are satisfied.j. Section 1129(a)(8)—Conclusive Presumption of Acceptance by UnimpairedClasses; Acceptance of the Plan by Certain Voting Classes.51.

 It's been a week since the elections here in theUnited States and there's still a lot of conversation as well as confusion as to what's going to happen, and of course there is a great deal of speculation as to why Donald Trump was successful and why Kamala Harris was not even though it seemed that the contest for the presidency was quite even. Well one of the reasons is that I pointed out many years ago was that Donald Trump was not only an entrepreneurial businessman, but he had a great deal of experience learning how to use the modern media and was the big star in a very successful TV program.  The man knew how to use the microphone and be in front of the camera... And most of the competitors against him had virtually no experience with the modern marketing mass media. Well let me tell you the story and I think it could be very helpful to you because things are going to change and they're going to change a lot in 2025, and I want you to be ready to make your Mark, be more successful, live with less fear, and have a greater confidence in your abilities because you are learning how to be better at who you are and what you do!

My name is Rainetta Jones, I was born in Port of Spain Trinidad and Tobago. I came to theUnited States at the age of 14 with my family. I attended Martin Luther King Jr. HS in Manhattan NYC. I would like to note that I do not have any memories of High School Lunch Break for three years. I graduated at 17 years of age and attended University of Buffalo. My tenure at UB was short lived due to serious neurological anomalies which I later learned was “Brain Scrambling Technologies. While at UB I wanted to pursue a degree in Micro and Molecular Biology; however, that didn't pan out. After Buffalo, I attended Sheffield University in England as a study abroad student. Upon returning to the US, I took time off to Invent, Model, and Dance. In 2000 I had a meeting with a “friend” about my two inventions, the iPod and Kindle and also a novel conceptual hosiery design. All of which were stolen. Later on I learned he had connections to Steve Jobs and was invited by him to the launch of iTunes in Cupertino California. After that meeting I was followed by a Russian Jew who befriended me. He invited me to go to England a couple of days after September 11th, 2001. It wasn't until 2016, I was told that both David and Yuri were Mossad agents and that they had to get me out of the US for the launch of the iPod. I later became a Certified Administrative Professional and worked at the United Nations andseveral other Government agencies in NYC. In 2019 I graduated from Empire State College inBusiness Administration. I have no memories of a Secret Space Program however, I do knowthat my life has been filled with extraterrestrial experiences. After graduation I created the Micro- Business Model using business concepts on a micro-scale for those who would like to start a business with very little money. Today I do spiritual consultations and teach online classes oncea month.

The December 7, 1941, surprise attack on Pearl Harbor thrust theUnited States into World War II. Just six months later in May 1942,flying new C-47 transport aircraft, the 60th Troop Carrier Group ledthe way as the first U.S. TCG to deploy to England and the EuropeanTheater of Operations in World War II. Leading the way to victory,the 60th TCG's first mission—dropping U. S. paratroopers outside ofOran, North Africa—was not only the first combat airborne missionin U.S. Army history, but also the longest airborne mission of theentire war. This drop spearheaded Operation TORCH, also known asthe Invasion of North Africa, by taking key Axis airfields just inlandfrom the amphibious landing zones. The 60th TCG went on to fly some of the first combat aeromedical evacuation missions and the first combat mission towing CG-4A “Waco” gliders during Operation HUSKY—the Invasion of Sicily. As the new airborne, air land,aeromedical evacuation, and glider missions matured in World WarII, the 60th TCG continued to play a major role, paying in blood forvaluable lessons learned in the school of hard knocks. The group laterflew dramatic missions into Yugoslavia, supporting Partisans as partof the secret war in the Balkans, an episode of World War II historystill all but unknown today and dropped British paratroops in theairborne invasion of Greece. The Group was inactivated at the end ofthe war. Today's guest is Col. Mark C. Vlahos, author of “Leading the Way to Victory: A History of the 60th Troop Carrier Group 1940-1945.” We look at the group's battles, adversity, hardships, and triumphs from inception through the Allied victory in Europe.

Beginning in 2022, andcontinuing through 2025, the US Mint will issue up to five new reversedesigns each year.“美国女性铸币项目”是从2022年至2025年发行的一套25美分的硬币系列，每年设计五款硬币，纪念那些对美国发展做出巨大贡献的女性。 The front of the coin features GeorgeWashington, the founding father and first president of the United States, andthe reverse side features a prominent American woman. Women with diverse ethnicand regional backgrounds are honored for their outstanding contributions to theUnited States in the fields like battling for voting rights, civil rights, abolition and government.该系列硬币的正面为美国国父兼第一任总统乔治·华盛顿的头像，硬币背面是一名杰出美国女性。被表彰的女性需在选举权、民权、废奴、政府、人文、科学、太空、艺术等领域中对美国作出卓越贡献，并来自不同的种族和地域背景。 Anna May Wong was born Wong Liu-Tsong in1905 in Los Angeles to second-generation Chinese-American parents. Wongalways had an obsession with movies and often spent her time and money as a childseeing films in nickelodeon theaters. As early as the age ofnine, Wong began asking filmmakers for roles, and by age 11 she had come upwith her stage name: Anna May Wong.1905年1月3日，黄柳霜出生在洛杉矶唐人街一户开洗衣店的贫穷家庭。她从小就对电影很感兴趣，甚至会攒钱逃课溜进片场观摩。年仅9岁的她开始向制片人投递简历，11岁那年，她给自己取了艺名：Anna MayWong。 Anna MayWong is considered by many to be the first Chinese-American Hollywood moviestar. Shestarred in dozens of productions, with some of the more famous ones being ShanghaiExpress (1932), Bits of Life (1921), and The Toll of theSea (1922), which was one of the very first films made in color.此后，黄柳霜成为好莱坞第一位华裔电影明星，主演过几十部电影，包括1932年的《上海快车》、1921年的《人生》和1922年的《海逝》。其中，《海逝》是最早的彩色电影之一。 She was a figure of exoticfashion around the world, feted by high society in London, Berlin andelsewhere. In1934, the Mayfair Mannequin Society of New York voted her the "world'sbest dressed woman"; in 1938 Look magazine named her the "world'smost beautiful Chinese girl." 此外，她也是异国时尚界的宠儿，深受伦敦、柏林等地上流社会的追捧。1934年，黄柳霜被纽约模特组织 Mayfair Mannequin Society 誉为“全球衣品最佳女性”。1938年，美国《展望》杂志称其为“全球最美华裔女孩”。 Throughouther 40-year career, Anna May Wong battled racism in Hollywood. The limited leading roles, the rigidcasting and the huge pay gap between her and other white co-stars were allexamples of the inequities of the industry at the time.放眼40年的职业生涯，黄柳霜始终在与好莱坞的种族主义作斗争。有限的主角、刻板的选角，以及她与白人演员之间巨大的片酬差距，都体现出当时影视行业的不平等。 In The Toll of the Sea, sheplayed a character named Lotus Flower who falls in love with an American manonly to be abandoned by him. At the end of the film, Lotus Flower takes her ownlife. The term "lotus flower" would go on to representthe stereotype of a disposable female Asian love interest. Anotherstereotype, "the dragon lady," the kind of very barbarousand villainous kind of seductress, also stemmed from one of Wong's most prominent roles, 1931's Daughter of theDragon.在电影《海逝》中，黄柳霜饰演的角色名叫莲花，爱上了一个美国男人，却被他抛弃，最终含恨自戕。“莲花”因而代指一种刻板印象：亚洲女性恋爱时常常遭遇始乱终弃。而另一个刻板印象，“龙女（the dragon lady）”，也源于黄柳霜最著名的角色之一，出自1931年的《龙的女儿》，往往象征着野蛮而邪恶的引诱者。 Wong wasalso vocal about her frustrations with Hollywood, and she worked against the limitations. "I was so tired of the parts Ihad to play," she said in an interview with Film Weekly. "Whyis it that the screen Chinese is nearly always the villain of the piece, and socruel a villain — murderous, treacherous, a snake in the grass. We are not likethat."黄柳霜直言不讳地表达了她对好莱坞的不满，也一直在努力突破限制。她在接受《电影周刊》采访时表示，“我厌倦了那些千篇一律的角色。为什么银幕上的华人几乎总是反派，而且是如此残忍的反派——滥杀无辜、背信弃义、阴险狡诈，我们不是那样的人。” She broke through the barriers ofpolitics, race and gender, and became a remarkable international star amid theanti-Chinese trend and skepticism, leaving a unique oriental phantom in theshinning golden age of film history. In the 1930s, she returned to China andsupported anti-Japanese war by selling off her jewelry.她突破政治、种族和性别的藩篱，在排华风潮及质疑声中成为引人瞩目的国际明星，在群星闪耀的影史黄金时代留下一道别致的东方魅影。上世纪三十年代，她还毅然回到中国，变卖自己的珠宝家当，支持抗战。Six decades after her death, Wong'slegacy lives on in film and fashion: her iconic looks revived 1920s modernstyles, and her patriotic love as well as anti-racism lives on today.黄柳霜去世六十年后，她的遗产仍在影坛与时尚界广为流传：她的标志性造型使20世纪20年代的摩登风格再度流行，而她不忘祖国、反抗种族主义的精神也被世人传诵至今。abolition英[ˌæbəˈlɪʃn] 美[ˌæbəˈlɪʃn]n.废除，废止obsession英[əbˈseʃn] 美[əbˈseʃn]n.着魔；使人痴迷的人（或物）stereotype英[ˈsteriətaɪp] 美[ˈsteriətaɪp]n.刻板印象prominent英[ˈprɒmɪnənt] 美[ˈprɑːmɪnənt]adj.突出的，杰出的patriotic英[ˌpætriˈɒtɪk] 美[ˌpeɪtriˈɑːtɪk]adj.爱国的

中国人吃什么容易过敏？最新研究：海鲜、芒果和……Chineseresearchers concluded a new study which shows that Chinese adults and childrenare more likely to be allergic to seafood, and less likely to be allergic to peanuts compared to people in theUnited States and Europe.8月26日，中国疾控中心英文周报发布了一系列关于中国不同人群食物过敏的研究论文，其中一项研究得出结论：中国人更容易海鲜过敏，欧美人更容易花生过敏。The study highlights an allergysurvey conducted in Jiangxi Province in 2020, which distributed 21,273 foodallergy screening questionnaires and involved 11,935 adults and 8,856children.该研究重点介绍了2020年在我国江西省所做的过敏性调查，该调查共发放21273份食物过敏筛查问卷，涉及11935名成人和8856名儿童。 According to the study, shrimp,mangos and shellfish are the top three common food allergens in China's Jiangxiprovince, followed by eggs, fish, beef, milk and mutton.结果显示，江西人民的常见过敏原食物从高到低排序依次为虾、芒果、贝类、鸡蛋、鱼、牛肉、牛奶和羊肉，以动物源食物为主，与欧洲以花生、大豆为主有差异。 This difference means thatdifferent cultures, diets, industrialisation and biological factors can allinfluence the allergy patterns of local people.这一差异意味着不同地区的文化、饮食、工业化程度以及生物因素都会影响当地人民的过敏模式。Chen Hongbing, a professor atNanchang University who was involved in the study, said the results were inline with reality and consistent with previousresearch.南昌大学教授陈红兵参与了此项研究，他表示研究成果符合生活实际，与以往的研究结果一致。 "For instance, in a previousstudy on self-reported food allergies among children, seafood topped the list,followed by fish, eggs, fruits and milk," he said.陈教授称：“比如，以往的研究统计了儿童自我报告的食物过敏现象，发现常见的过敏源由高到低排序为：海鲜、鱼、蛋、水果和牛奶。”Chen saidmore epidemiological research is needed to address these discrepancies and to determine if various dietaryhabits across China result in varied food sensitivity.不过，他也表示，我们还需要更多流行病学研究来解释研究结果间的差异，同时判断中国各地的不同饮食习惯是否导致了食物过敏模式。 In a separate study also publishedin China CDC Weekly last week, researchers found that the prevalence of food allergies in the populationwas 8 percent from 2009 to 2018, up from 5 percent from 1999 to 2008,"indicating that the prevalence of food allergies in China is on therise".还有一篇着重分析总结了2000年至2021年关于中国人食物过敏的24项研究成果。相关研究成果显示， 2009年至2018年，食物过敏的流行率为8%，高于1999-2008年（5%），这表明中国食物过敏的流行率正在上升。Luo Xiaoqun, a doctor at FudanUniversity's Huashan Hospital, said during an interview with media outletYXJ.org.cn that the increasing rate of food allergies is a phenomenon observedworldwide, driven by changes in lifestyles, eating habits, as well as growinghealth awareness and diagnostic ability.复旦大学华山医院一名医生接受《医学界》采访时表示，食物过敏率上升是一个全球性现象，这是由生活方式、饮食习惯的改变，以及人们健康意识的提高和医学诊断能力的进步所导致的。 So how do you avoid food allergies?那么，如何避免食物过敏呢？Breastfeed your baby. Breastfeeding may reduce the risk of allergy and islinked to other health benefits.尽量母乳喂养。母乳喂养可以减少过敏的风险，且对健康有益。An allergy test can determine whether your body has an allergic reaction toa known substance.怀疑有过敏症状，及时到医院进行过敏原测试。Avoid your allergens and take your medicines as prescribed.避免接触过敏原，出现症状时及时吃药遏制。allergic英[əˈlɜːdʒɪk] 美[əˈlɜːrdʒɪk]adj. 过敏的；反感的consistent英[kənˈsɪstənt] 美[kənˈsɪstənt]adj. 一致的；连贯的discrepancy英[dɪsˈkrepənsi] 美[dɪsˈkrepənsi]n. 差异，不一致prevalence英['prevələns] 美[ˈprɛvələns]n. 流行；盛行；普遍diagnostic英[ˌdaɪəgˈnɒstɪk] 美[ˌdaɪəgˈnɑstɪk]adj. 诊断的

On August 15, 2004,China began to implement the Administrative Measures for the Examination andApproval of Permanent Residence of Foreigners in China.Hearingthe name of the file above, you may feel very strange. But in fact, this is thedocument issued when the Chinese green card began to be issued.The termgreen card originates from the United States and is essentially a document forthe permanent residence of a foreign national in the territory of the country.Why is it called a green card? Originally, the original version of theresidence permit for foreigners in the United States was green, and more than20 versions were designed until 2010, when it was changed back to green.Although there are several versions of the color that are indeed not green, theterm green card is still used today.In 2004,the country began to issue green cards to foreigners. The conditions are asfollows:(1)Direct investment in China, stable investment for three consecutive years andgood tax payment record;(2)Holding positions such as deputy general manager or deputy factory director inChina, or having a deputy senior professional title such as associate professoror associate researcher, or enjoying the same treatment, having served in Chinafor four consecutive years or not less than three years in four years, andhaving a good tax payment record;(3)Those who have made major or outstanding contributions to China or whosespecial needs are needed by the State;(4) thespouses of the persons referred to in subparagraphs (1), 2 and 3 of thisparagraph and their unmarried children under the age of 18;(5) Thespouse of a Chinese citizen or a foreigner who has obtained permanent residencestatus in China, who has been in a marital relationship for five years or more,who has resided in China for five consecutive years, who has resided in Chinafor not less than nine months per year, and who has a stable living guaranteeand a domicile;(6)Unmarried children under the age of 18 who have turned to their parents; (7)Those who have no immediate family members abroad, who have defected to theirimmediate family members within the territory of China, who have reached theage of 60, who have resided in China for five consecutive years, who haveresided in China for not less than nine months per year, and who have a stableliving guarantee and domicile. The years referred to in this article refer tothe consecutive years preceding the date of application.Theseconditions may not sound so difficult to achieve, but the number of green cardsissued in our country will surprise you. By the end of 2011, China issued atotal of more than 4752 green cards, an average of 248 per year, and for theforeign population that has permanently resided in China, thousands of"Chinese green cards" have been issued in more than 10 years, whileother countries have issued more than 100,000 green cards a year, and theUnited States, where the most concentrated population, has to issue millions ofgreen cards a year, which is enough to show that the conditions of"Chinese green cards" are too hard to achieve.Inaddition, the Chinese green card also has some restrictions, he can not be usedlike the ID card, in some occasions to handle business is more difficult.Nevertheless,every year, many expats want to fight for a Chinese green card, and wheneverthey get this Chinese green card, they are ecstatic and very happy.

Not because we deserve it, but because He is a God of mercy, and grace, andkindness, and He delights in showing mercy…*Review modern human history, you will see that… The freedoms, abundance, and libertieswe have enjoyed cannot be understood in any way other than having come from the handof God.*We are a people with a country! We are a people with a mighty God! We are a peoplewith a future, filled with possibility, if we will once again turn in humility and honorAlmighty God and continue to recognize Him as our source.*My prayer…Thank you Lord for our country…and…God bless America, again!2. Our nation is unique… It was founded upon biblical principles by people with a desire to find anopportunity to worship the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, without interferencefrom a king or a state church. They weren't perfect…but they wanted a country based on a Judeo-Christianworldview, derived from the Bible. We cannot afford to forget our past— good andbad… Christians have led the fight for the poor, for children, for women, and for theabolition of slavery. 52 of the 55 signers of the Declaration of Independence were orthodox, deeplycommitted Christians… And…The other three all believed in the Bible as divinetruth, and in the God of Scripture and in His personal intervention in history. It's the same Congress that formed the American Bible Society. Immediately aftercreating the Declaration of Independence, the Continental Congress voted topurchase and import 20,000 copies of Scripture for the people of this nation. *We have a culture that runs deep with Christian values. Freedom, honesty, hardwork, sacrifice, integrity, and generosity are not encouraged, or even applauded, inevery culture. God loves people from every nation, race, language, and tribe. But…I believe… TheUnited States is a unique representation of the grace and mercy of God. We areunique among the nations of the world— both in our history and our foundingdocuments— and in the mission of faith from which our nation was birthed. It doesn'tmean that we are perfect or that our history is perfect. But…In our complaints andbitterness about our own nation… we can overlook what the rest of the world is like… The nations of the world do not enjoy the liberties and the freedoms, the abundance,and the opportunities that we take for granted. If it were universal in scope, therewouldn't be millions of people making terrific sacrifices to come to this nation. I have freedom—to vote, to speak, to travel, to live. We enjoy a level of freedompeople in repressed nations cannot even fathom.2 I don't know exactly how my ancestors got here…but thank God they did…3. What we celebrate…we propagate… The great blessings that God has shown us comes with a great responsibility…. Every generation has to determine which principles will guide us. This is atremendous responsibility… it only requires three generations for an principle to belost. If we fail to embrace those things that brought us liberty and freedom, and toteach them to the next generation, we are abandoning our responsibilities. The Church is God's idea, but our primary goal as the ecclesia is not just to go toHeaven, but to do the will of God while we're on earth. God has given us liberty andfreedom and blessing and abundance so that we could take the gospel of theKingdom to the whole world.

MOZART, BEETHOVEN & MAS begins a series with USA composers in the 20th century, startingwith CHARLES IVES, considered by many to be the most representative of the 20th century in theUnited States of America.

Article 2Section 1The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America.He shall hold his Office during the Term of four Years, and, together with the Vice President, chosen for the same Term, be elected, as follows:Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or Person holding an Office of Trust or Profit under the United States, shall be appointed an Elector.The Electors shall meet in their respective States, and vote by Ballot for two Persons, of whom one at least shall not be an Inhabitant of the same State with themselves.And they shall make a List of all the Persons voted for, and of the Number of Votes for each; which List they shall sign and certify, and transmit sealed to the Seat of the Government of the United States, directed to the President of the Senate. The President of the Senate shall, in the Presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the Certificates, and the Votes shall then be counted. The Person having the greatest Number of Votes shall be the President, if such Number be a Majority of the whole Number of Electors appointed; and if there be more than one who have such Majority, and have an equal Number of Votes, then the House ofRepresentatives shall immediately chuse by Ballot one of them for President; and if no Person have a Majority, then from the five highest on the List the said House shall in like Manner chuse the President. But in chusing the President, the Votes shall be taken by States, the Representatives from each State having one Vote; a quorum for this Purpose shall consist of a Member or Members from two thirds of the States, and a Majority of all the States shall be necessary to a Choice. In every Case, after the Choice of the President, the Person having the greatest Number of Votes of the Electors shall be the Vice President. But if there should remain two or more who have equal Votes, the Senate shall chuse from them by Ballot the Vice-President.The Congress may determine the Time of chusing the Electors, and the Day on which they shall give their Votes; which Day shall be the same throughout the United States.No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.In Case of the Removal of the President from Office, or of his Death, Resignation, or Inability to discharge the Powers and Duties of the said Office, the Same shall devolve on the Vice President, and the Congress may by Law provide for the Case of Removal, Death, Resignation or Inability, both of the President and Vice President, declaring what Officer shall then act as President, and such Officer shall act accordingly, until the Disability be removed, or a President shall be elected.The President shall, at stated Times, receive for his Services, a Compensation, which shall neither be encreased nor diminished during the Period for which he shall have been elected, and he shall not receive within that Period any other Emolument from the United States, or any of them.Before he enter on the Execution of his Office, he shall take the following Oath or Affirmation:-"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."Section 2The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States; he may require the Opinion, in writing, of the principal Officer in each of the executive Departments, upon any Subject relating to the Duties of their respective Offices, and he shall have Power to Grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offences against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.He shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law: but the Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments.The President shall have Power to fill up all Vacancies that may happen during the Recess of the Senate, by granting Commissions which shall expire at the End of their next Session.Section 3He shall from time to time give to the Congress Information on the State of the Union, and recommend to their Consideration such Measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient; he may, on extraordinary Occasions, convene both Houses, or either of them, and in Case of Disagreement between them, with Respect to the Time of Adjournment, he may adjourn them to such Time as he shall think proper; he shall receive Ambassadors and other public Ministers; he shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed, and shall Commission all the Officers of theUnited States.Section 4The President, Vice President and all Civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.

  Do Yule Know when and where did the first Christmas tree originate? Germany is credited with starting the Christmas tree tradition as we now know it in the 16th century when evergreens were decorated and celebrated in winter in anticipation of spring.  Later, Christians began bringing fir trees into their homes and adorning them with Festoons or carved and painted ornaments to celebrate everlasting life.  Some people built Christmas pyramids of wood and decorated them with evergreens and candles if the wood was scarce.  Other names for Christmas Tree Ornaments include gimcracks,  pokerwork,  and fiddleheads! One of the main reasons it took time for Christmas trees to catch on (in theUnited States)  is that it was challenging to find a tree unless you lived near a forest or wooded area.  But now the US has over 15,000 Christmas Tree Farms, producing over 350 million trees, and only about 2% of families Christmas Trees are cut from the wild by folks who go Christmas Chopping:) What's a word for those fallen pesky Christmas Tree needles?  Diddledees!

 John W Spring, Late Hour of Russian Nukes, EMP Weapon of Indignation of Russia, Venezuelan Cuban Chinese Russians Iranians, Dangers of Peace Accord without Missile Defenses, Need to Write President Trump NOW, Must Meet with John and Dr Bill, Immediate Dangers of Nuclear War or Delay without Defenses from MidEast Accord, Times are Urgent,Dr Bill Deagle MD AAEM ACAM A4M, NutriMedical Report Show, www.NutriMedical.com, www.ClayandIRON.com, www.Deagle-Network.com,NutriMedical Report Show,Dear Friends,Please read the following letter that I just sent to the President, which is about Venezuela. JWS  John W. SpringP.O. Box 18946Anaheim, CA 92817 April 2, 2019 The PresidentThe White House1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NWWashington, DC 20500 RE: THE VENEZUELAN MISSILE CRISIS ON LA ORCHILA ISLAND LOCATED IN THE CARIBBEAN SEA AND PUNTA HUETE, NICARAGUA IN CENTRAL AMERICA Dear Mr. President: I realize that it has been difficult for you to believe me based upon disinformation, which some of your contacts have sent in such a convincing manner. However, due, now, to your awareness of the situation in Venezuela, they have lost their credibility. So, perhaps, this and my past email letters will finally reach your desk at the Oval Office. The Venezuelan Missile Crisis has actually existed for several years, but it has only been since Dr. Bill Deagle had encouraged me to probe into the Chinese, Cuban and Russian air, military and naval activity in Venezuela that I became aware of it. Although I was already aware of the earlier statement made by Russian President Putin that Russia was developing a HYPERSONIC MISSILE that could reverse its course of direction during flight, it seemed more realistic that the Kremlin would now deploy INTERMEDIATE-RANGE BALLISTIC MISSILES armed with THERMONUCLEAR WARHEADS launched from the Caribbean Sea or Central America. La Orchila Island in the Caribbean Sea is now a Russian Air Force base with a long runway where giant air transports are able to land as well at Punta Huete, Nicaragua located in Central America where missiles can also be unloaded and launched in a veery short period of time. Sincerely, John W. SpringDear Friends,Please read the following letter that I just sent to the President, which is about Venezuela. JWSDear Friends,Please notice my newest email address: halfpastfree@outlook.com. At least at this time, I am unable to access my previous email accounts. This has caused me to lose most of my contact. So, if you know of any persons who are really concerned about our nation and the rest of the world, I would welcome more and new friends. Thank you. JWS  John W. SpringP.O. Box 18946Anaheim, CA 92817 March 29, 2019 The PresidentThe White House1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NWWashington, DC 20500 RE: A NEED FOR A NEW GEOPOLITICAL APPROACH RELATED TO FOREIGN POLICY AND NATIONAL SECURITY CAUSED BY THE RECENT MISSILE CRISES Dear Mr. President: You need my advice for taking a new and different geopolitical approach on matters that are now related to foreign policy and national security, which has been caused by the recent missile crises in North Korea, Nicaragua and Venezuela, because we do not have an effectiveMissile Defense System now in operation. So the only way our nation can survive will be by becoming aware of these current threats, which can only be identified and located with highly-advanced analysis of intelligence that is well beyond the capacity and level of any existing personnel in Washington. Such a new geopolitical approach will require an awareness of the clandestine plans that are now already in operation for striking at theUnited States by understanding the mindset of the enemy or adversary whose advisers and military strategists are exceedingly capable. Therefore, you will need to be in contact with a person with the expertise and education to cover geopolitical aspects of geography and the physical sciences. However, persons who were trained and educated only in government, history, economics, political science or regional studies do not have the adequate “analytical tools” needed that would enable them to function at the required basic level because theChinese and Russian strategists are educated and trained to perform at far higher levels. Besides myself, I would only recommend Dr. Bill Deagle who is the most intelligent person that I have ever met during my entire lifetime. Sincerely, John W. Spring                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           Dear Friends,My new email address is: halfpastfree@outlook.com due to previous Internet accounts being hacked into by apparently foreign agents. Unfortunately, I have been only able to find so very few persons who had received this material. JWS John W. SpringP.O. Box 18946Anaheim, CA 92817 March 28, 2019 The PresidentThe White House1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NWWashington, DC 20500 RE: A NEED FOR DIFFERENT GEOPOLITICAL POLICIES TOWARDS CHINA AND RUSSIA RELATED NOW TO THEIR MILITARY INVOLVEMENT IN VENEZUELA Dear Mr. President: Two Russian military planes carrying nearly 100 troops have recently arrived in Venezuela for the purpose of supporting the regime ofNicolas Maduro at Caracas, which is causing so many Venezuelans now to face hunger and starvation. Already, there are 35,000 Chinese troops from the elite People’s Liberation Special Operation Forces and 46,000 Cuban troops to support and train Maduro’s 360,000-man army. However, of even greater concern is the Russian Air Force base on La Orchila Island with its extremely long runways for landing many giant air transports that can carry mobile launchers with several Intermediate-Range Ballistic Missiles armed with ThermonuclearWarheads capable of striking all regions of the continental United States from Nicaragua and Venezuela within minutes after landing atPunta Huete in Central America or on La Orchila Island in the Lesser Antilles located in the Caribbean Sea. Unfortunately, unlike your advisers, I can provide you with insight about the mindset of military strategists in Moscow and Beijing who are rather capable. However, you will not find an analyst in Washington who has ever reached my level of accomplishments, background, and experience with the required qualifications related to strategic intelligence related to the missile crises now occurring in North Korea,Nicaragua and Venezuela because without any Missile Defense in operation, we must identify and locate these threats by intelligence analysts who are able to act at a level that is well beyond the capacity of any personnel in Washington and time is running out! Sincerely, John W. Spring   John W. SpringP.O. Box 18946Anaheim, CA 92817 March 22, 2019 The PresidentThe White House1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NWWashington, DC 20500 RE: NEED FOR A MISSILE DEFENSE SYSTEM DUE TO DEPLOYMENT OF MANY CHINESE, CUBAN, RUSSIAN TROOPS AND NUCLEAR MISSILES IN VENEZUELA Dear Mr. President: As said by me already, I must inform you of the current Venezuelan Missile Crisis that now exists. For this reason, the development of an effective Missile Defense System must become a higher priority than a Space Force at this time with an additional bureaucracy that would only delay the immediate need to protect our nation from its southern border and coast where we are most vulnerable from Intermediate-Range Missiles armed with Thermonuclear Warheads that can be airlifted to Cuba, Nicaragua and Venezuela in a very short period of time. In terms of numbers, Cuba has deployed 46,000 troops from the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Cuba (FAR). China has deployed 35,000 elite troops from the People’s Liberation Special Operations Forces of the PLA. Russia may have only 400 military contractors in Venezuela, but because most of them are currently involved with the Russian Air Force operations on Isla de La Orchila or La Orchila Island where very long runways have been constructed by Russian personnel that can accommodate the very large Antonov An-124 Ruslanand Antonov An-225 Mriya air transports, which can carry fully-integrated mobile launchers with many Intermediate-Range Ballistic Missiles armed with Thermonuclear Warheads that can be fired within minutes after being unloaded on La Orchila Island in the Caribbean Sea or at Punta Huete, Nicaragua in Central America for striking any regions in the continental United States, even though there may360,000 troops in the Venezuelan Army, the fewer Russians there are our greatest concern. Sincerely, John W. Spring           Dear Friends,Please read the following letter sent to the President. It may be of some interest to also learn more about my accomplishments, background and experience. Also read about Chinese troops in Venezuela on the next page and notice my new email address. JWS John W. SpringP.O. Box 18946Anaheim, CA 92817 March 15, 2019 The PresidentThe White House1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NWWashington, DC 20500 RE: ACCOMPLISHMENT AND CONCERN FOR NORTH KOREA AND VENEZUELA Dear Mr. President: During the Reagan Administration in 1983, I was nominated by U.S. Senator Barry Goldwater who was then Chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence to become the next ASSISTANT to the PRESIDENT and NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISER. However, the White House Office of Presidential Personnel had a different criteria for selecting applicants. As a result, based upon their selected applicants, many current problems created by them still exist today such as the war in Afghanistan, which is now our longest conflict. As for my accomplishments, they were the landing site near Bay of Pigs, the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Nicaraguan Missile Crisis or theInvasion of Grenada, the North Korean Missile Crisis, and the current Venezuelan Missile Crisis plus additional events that can be discussed at a meeting with you.I am very concerned about North Korea because Vice Foreign Minister Choe Son Hui said, “We have no intention to yield to U.S. demands [made at the summit in Hanoi] in any form, nor are we willing to engage in negotiations of any kind.” However, she did state “personal relations between the two supreme leaders [you and Kim] are still good and the chemistry is mysteriously wonderful.” As for Venezuela, that situation is now very serious and may soon require U.S. military action. Sincerely,             John W. Spring   March 14, 2019 RE: CHINESE TROOPS DEPLOYED TO VENEZUELA Dear Friends, According to SomeonesBones, a White House source claims that Chinese President Xi Jinping has already sent 35,000 elite troops—the People’s Liberation Special Operation Forces—to help repel incursions on Venezuelan soil. If a garrison is considered to be about 500 soldiers, then it would be about five such military groups from China that are now in Venezuela. SomeonesBones also reported that on January 23, 2019 an American reconnaissance satellite—USA-139—captured images of a Chinese-flagged container ship offloading troops and armor near Puerto Cabello in Venezuela, which is about 100 miles west of Caracas. Chinese assets included several Type 99 main battle tanks, towed artillery, and a platoon ZBD 97 infantry fighting vehicles. China is bolstering Maduro’s 360,000-man army and also providing logistical support to prevent Maduro from being overthrown. Sincerely,             John W. Spring                      John W. SpringP.O. Box 18946Anaheim, CA 92817 February 19, 2019 Dear Mr. President: Perhaps you may have seen the motion picture titled “Heartbreak Ridge” with Clint Eastwood that tells the story of U.S. armed forces being deployed to Grenada, an island in the Caribbean Sea, to rescue American medical students in 1983 after leader Maurice Bishop of the New Jewel Movement had been placed under house arrest and later executed by the People’s Revolutionary Army firing squad. However, the real reason for the United States invading Grenada was due to a very long runway that was then under construction for the main purpose of providing a stop-over needed for refueling the Soviet air transport before deploying its cargo of Thermonuclear Weaponsto Punta Huete in Nicaragua where another very long airstrip was being constructed, which would have enabled the Soviet Union to launch so many Intermediate-Range Ballistic Missiles armed with Thermonuclear Warheads that would have been able to strike directly at the United States within minutes after landing. Today, that airfield on Grenada is now the Maurice Bishop International Airport. About a decade ago, Russian President Vladimir V. Putin, in violation of the INF Treaty, had authorized the construction of a very long asphalt airport on La Orchila Island located in the Caribbean Sea and administered by Venezuela that can accommodate very large air transports capable of deploying several missile launchers and many Intermediate-Range Ballistic Missiles armed with ThermonuclearWarheads that can be launched within minutes after landing on La Orchila Island or at Punta Huete Airport in Nicaragua, the longest runway in all of Central America. So, not only did La Orchila Island replace Grenada as a Russian Air Force base, but it is in a better location for striking at all regions of the continental United States. Sincerely, John W.

North Korea’s rocket engines have been manufactured in Russia at factories in the Moscow Industrial District. North Korea: If Washington continues to exert more pressure on Kim Jong Un, Pyongyang will replace him with a Stalinist hardliner who will become far more hostile towards America. Nicaragua: The very long runway can accommodate the very large air transports that can deploy mobile missile launchers and so many Intermediate-Range Ballistic Missiles armed with NuclearWarheads that can be launched at the United States within minutes after reaching Punta Huete. Sincerely, John W.

In addition to this asphalt runway, the Russians are building a larger airfield that will probably be 3,500 meters or 11,483 feet long and 30 meters or 197 feet wide, which will be able to accommodate many Antonov An-225 Mriya air carriers that are scheduled to be produced this year during 2019 inChina or Russia. The airfield at Punta Huete Airport in Nicaragua has the longest runway in Central America. Sincerely, John W.

So Russia and/or China may already have a fleet available of this massive aircraft for military deployment.

So the only way our nation can survive will be by becoming aware of these current threats, which can only be identified and located with highly-advanced analysis of intelligence that is well beyond the capacity and level of any existing personnel in Washington. Such a new geopolitical approach will require an awareness of the clandestine plans that are now already in operation for striking at theUnited States by understanding the mindset of the enemy or adversary whose advisers and military strategists are exceedingly capable. Therefore, you will need to be in contact with a person with the expertise and education to cover geopolitical aspects of geography and the physical sciences. However, persons who were trained and educated only in government, history, economics, political science or regional studies do not have the adequate “analytical tools” needed that would enable them to function at the required basic level because theChinese and Russian strategists are educated and trained to perform at far higher levels. Besides myself, I would only recommend Dr. Bill Deagle who is the most intelligent person that I have ever met during my entire lifetime. Sincerely, John W.

Already, there are 35,000 Chinese troops from the elite People’s Liberation Special Operation Forces and 46,000 Cuban troops to support and train Maduro’s 360,000-man army. However, of even greater concern is the Russian Air Force base on La Orchila Island with its extremely long runways for landing many giant air transports that can carry mobile launchers with several Intermediate-Range Ballistic Missiles armed with ThermonuclearWarheads capable of striking all regions of the continental United States from Nicaragua and Venezuela within minutes after landing atPunta Huete in Central America or on La Orchila Island in the Lesser Antilles located in the Caribbean Sea. Unfortunately, unlike your advisers, I can provide you with insight about the mindset of military strategists in Moscow and Beijing who are rather capable. However, you will not find an analyst in Washington who has ever reached my level of accomplishments, background, and experience with the required qualifications related to strategic intelligence related to the missile crises now occurring in North Korea,Nicaragua and Venezuela because without any Missile Defense in operation, we must identify and locate these threats by intelligence analysts who are able to act at a level that is well beyond the capacity of any personnel in Washington and time is running out! Sincerely, John W.

For this reason, the development of an effective Missile Defense System must become a higher priority than a Space Force at this time with an additional bureaucracy that would only delay the immediate need to protect our nation from its southern border and coast where we are most vulnerable from Intermediate-Range Missiles armed with Thermonuclear Warheads that can be airlifted to Cuba, Nicaragua and Venezuela in a very short period of time. In terms of numbers, Cuba has deployed 46,000 troops from the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Cuba (FAR). China has deployed 35,000 elite troops from the People’s Liberation Special Operations Forces of the PLA. Russia may have only 400 military contractors in Venezuela, but because most of them are currently involved with the Russian Air Force operations on Isla de La Orchila or La Orchila Island where very long runways have been constructed by Russian personnel that can accommodate the very large Antonov An-124 Ruslanand Antonov An-225 Mriya air transports, which can carry fully-integrated mobile launchers with many Intermediate-Range Ballistic Missiles armed with Thermonuclear Warheads that can be fired within minutes after being unloaded on La Orchila Island in the Caribbean Sea or at Punta Huete, Nicaragua in Central America for striking any regions in the continental United States, even though there may360,000 troops in the Venezuelan Army, the fewer Russians there are our greatest concern. Sincerely, John W.

However, the White House Office of Presidential Personnel had a different criteria for selecting applicants. As a result, based upon their selected applicants, many current problems created by them still exist today such as the war in Afghanistan, which is now our longest conflict. As for my accomplishments, they were the landing site near Bay of Pigs, the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Nicaraguan Missile Crisis or theInvasion of Grenada, the North Korean Missile Crisis, and the current Venezuelan Missile Crisis plus additional events that can be discussed at a meeting with you.I am very concerned about North Korea because Vice Foreign Minister Choe Son Hui said, “We have no intention to yield to U.S. demands [made at the summit in Hanoi] in any form, nor are we willing to engage in negotiations of any kind.” However, she did state “personal relations between the two supreme leaders [you and Kim] are still good and the chemistry is mysteriously wonderful.” As for Venezuela, that situation is now very serious and may soon require U.S. military action. Sincerely,             John W. Spring   March 14, 2019 RE: CHINESE TROOPS DEPLOYED TO VENEZUELA Dear Friends, According to SomeonesBones, a White House source claims that Chinese President Xi Jinping has already sent 35,000 elite troops—the People’s Liberation Special Operation Forces—to help repel incursions on Venezuelan soil. If a garrison is considered to be about 500 soldiers, then it would be about five such military groups from China that are now in Venezuela. SomeonesBones also reported that on January 23, 2019 an American reconnaissance satellite—USA-139—captured images of a Chinese-flagged container ship offloading troops and armor near Puerto Cabello in Venezuela, which is about 100 miles west of Caracas. Chinese assets included several Type 99 main battle tanks, towed artillery, and a platoon ZBD 97 infantry fighting vehicles. China is bolstering Maduro’s 360,000-man army and also providing logistical support to prevent Maduro from being overthrown. Sincerely,             John W.
