BOSTON (CBS/AP) – Former Massachusetts Sen. Brian Joyce “violated the public’s trust” and “decided to take the path of greed” by using his office for personal profit to accept up to $1 million in bribes and kickbacks in exchange for official actions, federal investigators said Friday.
Joyce, a longtime attorney and Milton Democrat who was arrested Friday, is accused of then hiding that money by creating a shell company and disguising it as “legal fees.”
“We believe Mr. Joyce was greedy, plain and simple,” FBI Special Agent in Charge Hank Shaw said.
Federal authorities arrested Joyce, 55, at his Westport home on Friday. Joyce pleaded not guilty to the charges before a federal magistrate in Worcester Friday afternoon.
The 113-count indictment against Joyce, stemming from a two-year investigation, includes charges of racketeering, extortion, wire fraud, conspiracy to defraud the IRS and money laundering. His lawyer, Howard Cooper, said in an email to The Associated Press that he is still reviewing the charges.
The indictment alleges that Joyce secretly profited from his position as state senator by accepting “a stream of concealed bribes and kickbacks” that included a free Jeep and hundreds of pounds of Dunkin Donuts coffee, in exchange for official actions before the state Legislature. He is accused of pressuring state and municipal officials to take official action on government matters.
Acting U.S. Attorney William Weinreb said Joyce, who as a state senator represented more than 100,000 constituents across Milton, Randolph, Avon, Canton, Stoughton, West Bridgewater and parts of Braintree, East Bridgewater and Sharon, ran his public office as a “criminal enterprise.”
“He had a duty to serve (his constituents) honestly, and he violated that duty by accepting bribes and kickbacks in exchange for his official action,” Weinreb said.
In February 2016, the FBI and IRS raided Joyce’s Canton law office. Months later, Joyce reportedly sold his Milton home and also sold his family burial plot in Milton, where he grew up.

Joyce is accused of participating in a number of complex schemes dating back to 2010 that netted him hundreds of thousands of dollars and concealing the payments by using his law office as a “money laundering conduit.” Prosecutors say he also lied to the state’s ethics commission and used the panel as a “cloak of legitimacy for his corrupt schemes.”
In one case, prosecutors alleged Joyce used his position to exert influence on behalf of a New York-based energy brokerage business and formed a shell company to collect secret kickbacks from the firm. In another scheme, prosecutors say Joyce pressured the Milton Planning Board to approve a waiver sought by a developer, who gave Joyce a Jeep from one of the developer’s car dealerships.

The indictment also accuses Joyce of taking legislative action to aid a Dunkin Donuts franchise whose owner was paying him tens of thousands of dollars for “purported legal fees” and providing him with hundreds of pounds of free coffee. Investigators allege Joyce took steps to conceal this by submitting backdated checks to the State Ethics Commission and instructed the franchise owner and his relative to falsely represent to the Ethics Commission that they had agreed to provide Joyce coffee in exchange for legal services.
The indictment also alleges that Joyce attempted to use his Senate position to collect money for “legal work” from representatives of a Philadelphia solar company who sought Joyce’s assistance with local permitting and pending legislation.
Joyce is also charged with conspiring to defraud the IRS in connection with his purchase of more than $470,000 in common stock from the energy brokerage firm and falsely reporting the stock purchase as a tax-exempt retirement account rollover in his personal tax return.
Weinreb would not say whether charges would be brought against any of the companies accused to be involved in the schemes but said the investigation remains ongoing.
Joyce, who had served as assistant majority leader, announced last year that he would not seek re-election in 2017. He had represented his district since 1998.
A 1980 graduate of Milton High School, Joyce received a bachelor’s degree from Boston College School of Management and a law degree from Suffolk University Law School.
As a state legislator, Joyce served as chairman of the Special Senate Committee on Government Expenditures and the Vice Chair of the Senate Committee on Redistricting. He was also a member of the Joint Committee on Telecommunications, Utilities and Energy as well as the Joint Committee on Health Care Financing.
In an unrelated case last year, Joyce agreed to pay nearly $5,000 to resolve issues raised by state campaign finance regulators, including using campaign funds for his son’s 2014 high school graduation party. Joyce said there had been no finding of wrongdoing on his part in that case.
The arrest is the second blow to the state Senate in the past week.
Rosenberg announced Monday he was stepping aside as president of the chamber during a Senate Ethics Committee investigation into the circumstances surrounding reported sexual misconduct allegations by several men against his husband, Bryon Hefner.
Harriette Chandler, a Worcester Democrat who is serving as acting Senate president, said in a statement about Joyce that she’s confident the “justice system will come to a fair and just conclusion in the days to come.”
Republican Gov. Charlie Baker called the allegations against Joyce disturbing.
“People in public life need to respect the offices they hold and that means not using them for personal gain, and if the feds believe there’s enough there to justify an indictment then the investigation needs to be thorough and move forward accordingly,” Baker said.
JERUSALEM – In response to US President Donald Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as the Israeli capital, the Palestinian National Authority has announced that it will recognize Texas as a state of Mexico since it was violently annexed by the United States in the 1840s.
“The territory north and east of the Rio Grande is very important to the Mexican people,” explained a PNA spokesperson. “Before American settlers showed up and implemented slavery, Mexico oversaw this land. Then, President Polk sent his armies to invade the rest of these Mexican territories, and force the country to give up California, New Mexico, most of Arizona, Nevada, and Utah, and parts of Wyoming and Colorado. We may soon recognize these states as part of Mexico too.”
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas says that this is a new approach to Mexican-US relations, and hopes it will help ease the tension between the two countries over security and immigration.
“We understand that the Mexican state of Texas is a sacred place for many large-buckled Americans, but they can rest assured that a two-state solution or a wall was not feasible,” explained Abbas.
“Besides, most people in Texas speak Spanish.”
The Palestinian consulate in Mexico City will soon be moved to Houston to formally recognize the seized territory as part of Mexico.
At press time, President Trump hopes that his recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital will offer a new path for Middle East violence.
My name is Tetyana Obukhanych. I hold a PhD in Immunology. I am writing this letter in the hope that it will correct several common misperceptions about vaccines in order to help you formulate a fair and balanced understanding that is supported by accepted vaccine theory and new scientific findings.
Do unvaccinated children pose a higher threat to the public than the vaccinated?
It is often stated that those who choose not to vaccinate their children for reasons of conscience endanger the rest of the public, and this is the rationale behind most of the legislation to end vaccine exemptions currently being considered by federal and state legislators country-wide.
You should be aware that the nature of protection afforded by many modern vaccines – and that includes most of the vaccines recommended by the CDC for children – is not consistent with such a statement.
I have outlined below the recommended vaccines that cannot prevent transmission of disease either because they are not designed to prevent the transmission of infection (rather, they are intended to prevent disease symptoms), or because they are for non-communicable diseases.
People who have not received the vaccines mentioned below pose no higher threat to the general public than those who have, implying that discrimination against non-immunized children in a public school setting may not be warranted.
Polio Vaccine
IPV (inactivated poliovirus vaccine) cannot prevent transmission of poliovirus. Wild poliovirus has been non-existent in the USA for at least two decades.
Even if wild poliovirus were to be re-imported by travel, vaccinating for polio with IPV cannot affect the safety of public spaces.
Please note that wild poliovirus eradication is attributed to the use of a different vaccine, OPV or oral poliovirus vaccine. Despite being capable of preventing wild poliovirus transmission, use of OPV was phased out long ago in the USA and replaced with IPV due to safety concerns.
DTaP Vaccine
Tetanus is not a contagious disease, but rather acquired from deep-puncture wounds contaminated with C. tetani spores. Vaccinating for tetanus (via the DTaP combination vaccine) cannot alter the safety of public spaces; it is intended to render personal protection only.
While intended to prevent the disease-causing effects of the diphtheria toxin, the diphtheria toxoid vaccine (also contained in the DTaP vaccine) is not designed to prevent colonization and transmission of C. diphtheriae. Vaccinating for diphtheria cannot alter the safety of public spaces; it is likewise intended for personal protection only.
The acellular pertussis (aP) vaccine (the final element of the DTaP combined vaccine), now in use in the USA, replaced the whole cell pertussis vaccine in the late 1990s, which was followed by an unprecedented resurgence of whooping cough.
An experiment with deliberate pertussis infection in primates revealed that the aP vaccine is not capable of preventing colonization and transmission of B. pertussis. The FDA has issued a warning regarding this crucial finding.
Furthermore, the 2013 meeting of the Board of Scientific Counselors at the CDC revealed additional alarming data that pertussis variants (PRN-negative strains) currently circulating in the USA acquired a selective advantage to infect those who are up-to-date for their DTaP boosters, meaning that people who are up-to-date are more likely to be infected, and thus contagious, than people who are not vaccinated.
Flu Vaccine
Among numerous types of H. influenzae, the Hib vaccine covers only type b. Despite its sole intention to reduce symptomatic and asymptomatic (disease-less) Hib carriage, the introduction of the Hib vaccine has inadvertently shifted strain dominance towards other types of H. influenzae (types a through f).
These types have been causing invasive disease of high severity and increasing incidence in adults in the era of Hib vaccination of children. The general population is more vulnerable to the invasive disease now than it was prior to the start of the Hib vaccination campaign.
Discriminating against children who are not vaccinated for Hib does not make any scientific sense in the era of non-type b H. influenzae disease.
Hepatitis B Vaccine
Hepatitis B is a blood-borne virus. It does not spread in a community setting, especially among children who are unlikely to engage in high-risk behaviors, such as needle sharing or sex.
Vaccinating children for hepatitis B cannot significantly alter the safety of public spaces.
Further, school admission is not prohibited for children who are chronic hepatitis B carriers. To prohibit school admission for those who are simply unvaccinated – and do not even carry hepatitis B – would constitute unreasonable and illogical discrimination.
In summary, a person who is not vaccinated with IPV, DTaP, HepB, and Hib vaccines due to reasons of conscience poses no extra danger to the public than a person who is. No discrimination is warranted.
Vaccine Adverse Events
How often do serious vaccine adverse events happen?
It is often stated that vaccination rarely leads to serious adverse events. Unfortunately, this statement is not supported by science.
A recent study done in Ontario, Canada, established that vaccination actually leads to an emergency room visit for 1 in 168 children following their 12-month vaccination appointment and for 1 in 730 children following their 18-month vaccination appointment.
When the risk of an adverse event requiring an ER visit after well-baby vaccinations is demonstrably so high, vaccination must remain a choice for parents, who may understandably be unwilling to assume this immediate risk in order to protect their children from diseases that are generally considered mild or that their children may never be exposed to.
Measles Outbreaks
Can discrimination against families who oppose vaccines for reasons of conscience prevent future disease outbreaks of communicable viral diseases, such as measles?
Measles research scientists have for a long time been aware of the “measles paradox.” I quote from the article by Poland & Jacobson (1994) “Failure to Reach the Goal of Measles Elimination: Apparent Paradox of Measles Infections in Immunized Persons.”
Arch Intern Med 154:1815-1820:
“The apparent paradox is that as measles immunization rates rise to high levels in a population, measles becomes a disease of immunized persons.”
Further research determined that behind the “measles paradox” is a fraction of the population called low vaccine responders.
Low-responders are those who respond poorly to the first dose of the measles vaccine. These individuals then mount a weak immune response to subsequent RE-vaccination and quickly return to the pool of “susceptibles” within 2-5 years, despite being fully vaccinated.
Re-vaccination cannot correct low-responsiveness: it appears to be an immuno-genetic trait. The proportion of low-responders among children was estimated to be 4.7% in the USA.
Studies of measles outbreaks in Quebec, Canada, and China attest that outbreaks of measles still happen, even when vaccination compliance is in the highest bracket (95-97% or even 99%). This is because even in high vaccine responders, vaccine-induced antibodies wane over time. Vaccine immunity does not equal life-long immunity acquired after natural exposure.
It has been documented that vaccinated persons who develop breakthrough measles are contagious. In fact, two major measles outbreaks in 2011 (in Quebec, Canada, and in New York, NY) were re-imported by previously vaccinated individuals.
Taken together, these data make it apparent that elimination of vaccine exemptions, currently only utilized by a small percentage of families anyway, will neither solve the problem of disease resurgence nor prevent re-importation and outbreaks of previously eliminated diseases.
Is discrimination against conscientious vaccine objectors the only practical solution?
The majority of measles cases in recent US outbreaks (including the recent Disneyland outbreak) are adults and very young babies, whereas in the pre-vaccination era, measles occurred mainly between the ages 1 and 15.
Natural exposure to measles was followed by lifelong immunity from re-infection, whereas vaccine immunity wanes over time, leaving adults unprotected by their childhood shots. Measles is more dangerous for infants and for adults than for school-aged children.
Despite high chances of exposure in the pre-vaccination era, measles practically never happened in babies much younger than one year of age due to the robust maternal immunity transfer mechanism.
The vulnerability of very young babies to measles today is the direct outcome of the prolonged mass vaccination campaign of the past, during which their mothers, themselves vaccinated in their childhood, were not able to experience measles naturally at a safe school age and establish the lifelong immunity that would also be transferred to their babies and protect them from measles for the first year of life.
Luckily, a therapeutic backup exists to mimic now-eroded maternal immunity. Infants as well as other vulnerable or immunocompromised individuals, are eligible to receive immunoglobulin, a potentially life-saving measure that supplies antibodies directed against the virus to prevent or ameliorate disease upon exposure.
Conclusion: Discrimination Against Unvaccinated Children Unnecessary
In summary:
1) due to the properties of modern vaccines, non-vaccinated individuals pose no greater risk of transmission of polio, diphtheria, pertussis, and numerous non-type b H. influenzae strains than vaccinated individuals do, non-vaccinated individuals pose virtually no danger of transmission of hepatitis B in a school setting, and tetanus is not transmissible at all;
2) there is a significantly elevated risk of emergency room visits after childhood vaccination appointments attesting that vaccination is not risk-free;
3) outbreaks of measles cannot be entirely prevented even if we had nearly perfect vaccination compliance; and
4) an effective method of preventing measles and other viral diseases in vaccine-ineligible infants and the immunocompromised, immunoglobulin, is available for those who may be exposed to these diseases.
Taken together, these four facts make it clear that discrimination in a public school setting against children who are not vaccinated for reasons of conscience is completely unwarranted as the vaccine status of conscientious objectors poses no undue public health risk.

Companies Yank Ads from YouTube over Disturbing Comments on Videos of Children
Corporations have begun pausing advertising on YouTube after ads for their products were appearing alongside inappropriate comments — some of which discussed pedophilia.
The Wall Street Journal reports that many advertisers have paused their advertising campaigns on YouTube after ads for their products appeared alongside videos that appeared to attract pedophilia-related comments. Advertisers such as Mars Inc., Adidas AG, supermarket chain Lidl, alcohol manufacturer Diageo PLC, and British satellite TV operator Sky PLC subsidiary Now TV have all suspended their advertising campaign on YouTube as the video-sharing platform works to better control content on their platform.
A YouTube spokesperson told the Wall Street Journal that videos and comments sexualizing or exploiting children were expressly forbidden on the platform and stated, “There shouldn’t be any ads running on this content and we are working urgently to fix this.” One of the videos that featured advertisements was of a young, pre-teen girl dressed in a nightdress, this video alone drew 6.5 million views.
Many other videos featured young girls, sometimes filming themselves, often in various states of undress. Nearly all of these videos featured pedophilic remarks in the comment section.
”We are shocked and appalled to see that our adverts have appeared alongside such exploitative and inappropriate content,“ said candy manufacturer Mars in a statement. ”We have taken the decision to immediately suspend all our online advertising on YouTube and Google globally… Until we have confidence that appropriate safeguards are in place, we will not advertise on YouTube and Google.”
A spokesperson representing supermarket chain Lidl’s UK division said that it was, “completely unacceptable that this content is available to view, and it is, therefore, clear that the strict policies which Google has assured us were in place to tackle offensive content are ineffective.” German sporting goods manufacturer Adidas stated that they were working closely with YouTube parent company Google and taking, “all necessary steps to avoid any re-occurrences of this situation.”
An extensive test of Google’s brand safety measures was performed as many as 20,000 times by BT Group, who reported that they work but “a small number of ads slip through and appear next to inappropriate content or content with inappropriate comments.”

The American people are more than sick and tired about the deception: Crimes knowingly and intentionally committed to our people by Talmudic jewishcons demons: clones: mafioso as Jeff Bezos, owner of the Washington Post: genocidal agent Bill Gate: Jorge Soros terroristcon, and as well all their corporal fuckwits agents, = US, = paid for hire whores as the CIA: FBI: The media: Worldwide Royalscons: Big Pharma: Hollywood: Disney: The police, and counties whores as corporal judges, counties clerks, and last but not least the BAR (attorneys: esquires: referees: public notary: the police), = Banks, = the whores that works together on mortgage fraud: evicting the American people from their homes, all in violation of public trust, violation of public peace: infringement, contract fraud: racketeering, = all working together with the Israeli jewish- saudis- Russian mobs. ~ – = For all be destroy: Report them: Indict them: Arrest them: Shoot them: Lockdown all their corporal courts: Their prison for profit system: All banks: AND all other local fuckwits as in building association boards: Associations, and or private entities that are utilizing: working together with these criminals committing the above crimes to our people for greed, prestige, and control; report them, arrest them, shoot them.
We want all be vanished unto minuscules molecules of nothingness in perpetuity.
Thank you for the lesson learned…
We the people want all that has been taking from us back, inclusive for all land: our wealth: and our freedom from manipulators.
This is a few weeks published article worth publishing again since we are on the path for waking up our people from the false propagandas by criminals that aim has been keeping us ignorant.
We must use discernment… Further, we do not doubt that other beings might be with us sharing earth, however, we must keep in mind that we are the ultimate power from our creator first life essence. Meaning we have the God spark that ignite the highest power: force within us.
NOT for a minute underestimate our power within
Further, and for keeping in mind, any entity from Antartica connected with Skull and Bones Society, etc, is ultimate evil: does not have the least for the betterment for humanity. We say this because these guys from this society, inclusive of John Carey, the Rockefeller, etc., and or any corporal agent have been coming in and out from Antartica all the time, and for a long time! Now we are not saying that all Antartica is loaded with evil entities, as we are known that it is a large continent, however something fishy is taking place in here that we are not so clear about.
These mysteries must be expose immediately for the American people and the world.
Collected: consciously we the people from planet earth must wholeheartedly ask questions, do our own do diligent; check our intuition, and trust our god feelings! Don’t fucking believe anything until you have thoroughly research everything within, and out.
Period.
AND keep in mind that the Devil= evil= the destroyer is always there, however, when we become aware of this knowing; we are in control of our actions: our lives!
We must have courage, and confront our enemies: Destroy them before they destroy us all!
AND we are going to say something that we know for certain not many people are going believe this, however is never earlier enough to start implanting within our consciousness the highest truth as a step ahead for our spiritual journey: And that is that all that we see: our world… everything ever created: Be: is all within our minds!
Please do not despair, as we are all cleaning ourselves from the piles of garbage within our cellular body that has been there for billions of years piling up. This truth with time we will be able to see it: experience it each one individually. AND this is awesome! Fantastic!
THEN, and only then we all would remember what we are saying here. So be good to yourself: your cells: others, and our creator would be most happy leading us through the ultimate path that we are here for in the first place: KNOWING who we are!
BE the beautiful you! Be courageous! Be discerning! Be the power that be! Connect with others… Form ecclesia: communities… Love our beautiful little planet and honor its creations… Remember that ONLY united as ONE we’ll overcome surviving this physical journey. DO not forget this.
Love for all, all ways, always.

According to a retired FBI and career military source, US Special Forces acting under the authority of the Department of Defense and with other global military authorities have been arresting members of a Satanic pedophile group that has infiltrated multiple levels of government in the United States, European Union, and other national governments. The numbers of individuals associated with the global pedophile group according to the source, who chooses to remain anonymous, has greatly exceeded what the military had expected.
The retired FBI/military source shared a six page report of what the Special Forces had discovered with secret space program whistleblower, Corey Goode. Goode says that he has known the source since 2008 when they met in several courses organized by the Department of Homeland Security.
In a personal skype communication, Goode shared certificates of two courses he says he attended with the source who sat by him, and where they had “a conversation about conspiracies, ET/UFO/SSP.” Goode’s long association with the source and his military/law enforcement background supports the reliability of the information he passed on to Goode.
Course completed by Corey Goode & FBI/Military Source
Course attended by Corey Goode & FBI/Military Source
On August 9, Goode released an update about what his FBI/military source had told him. He begins by describing the history of his relationship with his FBI/Military source:
I have recently had meetings with a highly placed contact. I met him in the FEMA Mass Casualties response course when I was still in the Texas State Guard. He stopped talking to me when I began Cosmic Disclosure. He suddenly contacted me again right after the elections had concluded. He shared a cluster of Intel with me before going dark again… Until now.
Goode’s secret space program disclosures through his Cosmic Disclosure show with David Wilcock beginning in July 2015, led to his FBI/military source backing away from Goode, presumably for him sharing highly sensitive military information about secret space programs.
For those who have followed Goode’s information, he says that inearly 2016, he was abducted multiple times by personnel from a US Air Force run secret space program that were trying to find the sources that were leaking him sensitive military information.
Apparently, the USAF run program determined that Goode’s information was accurate and coming from off-planet sources. The senior USAF officer running Goode’s interrogations, “Sigmund” then began sharing sensitive information with Goode about Antarctica, and arranged for him to give briefings to select aerospace officials. In return, the USAF space program wanted to learn what Goode’s off planet sources were telling him.
Shortly after the positive change in his relationship with the USAF Secret Space Program, Goode’s FBI/military source began sharing information again. Goode wrote about what his source had told him immediately after the election of President Donald Trump:
I had reported that there were teams of US Special Forces that were conducting domestic surveillance and investigations of a Satanic group that had infiltrated all aspects of government agencies and the military. These Special Forces teams have been in place since the middle of the election cycle.
Apparently, a week ago, a new level had been reached in these Special Forces arrests whereby what was occurring needed to be publicly shared. Goode had a six page report read to him by his FBI/military source and wrote:
He gave me this report about a week ago and contacted me again stating it was important to get some of it out to the public. I was informed that a secret report on how pervasive these infiltrations are is more shocking than what was expected. Strangely, this report also had notes from several secret grand juries that are active right now in D.C.
The report states that the conspiracy involves the majority of powerful people in within the UN, EU, US, State and local (City) power structures. These government organization are completely complicit in what is going on. All the way down to local Post Offices and Police Offices. I have to tell you, this was a very creepy report.
These military investigators have expressed their shock and anger to their superiors as well as their desire to take them down. They report that it is so systemic that they are at a loss of how to counter and defeat these people without a military coup, which would involve US Special Forces and trusted “Military Contractors” that come from Alliance countries (And are already in place in the US).
Goode goes on to reveal that some Special Forces have been summarily executing some of these Satanic pedophiles, and have been taken off the investigation:
Some of these Special Forces Investigators have been removed from the investigation because they are HIGHLY suspected as being involved in torturing and killing some of these low level “Pedo-Gate” suspects. The scope of this cult takeover of government is shocking to even the people that think they have seen it all. They can’t figure out how the government was infiltrated to such a degree.
In our skype communication, Goode added:
Most of these SF teams have been directly involved in investigations of crimes against humanity in places we would all recognize…. They have “seen it all” in other countries and are shocked at what is occurring in the West under their noses.”
Goode’s information is well supported by the research of authors such as John DeCamp who wrote about the Franklin Cover-up, which detailed pedophile rings abusing children that compromised senior politicians in federal and state governments. More recently, Robert David Steele, a retired CIA/USMC official has also been speaking about the high level pedophile groups that have infiltrated many governments.
In a related development, Goode shared in our skype conversation that he has also been warned to back off his disclosures about military research and development activities in Antarctica:
I received ANOTHER warning for US (Everyone I work with) to NOT report on the R&D or Space Port facilities in Antarctica…. Info on Ancient Civilizations is fair game, info on the R&D Facilities is deemed too sensitive to report. If we continue to report on this topic they will attack us relentlessly and make it impossible to get any of the other information out.
Goode also shared that the R&D facilities on Antarctica are massive in scale and activity. He was told that “the ‘Dulce Base’ stories are nursery rhymes compared to what is going on there”. Most disturbing is the extensive collaboration with a Reptilian extraterrestrial group called the Draconians in Antarctica. He said:
Dracos work with people on the base and oversee the operations of the bases. They work along with humans in the lower levels while people on the upper levels never see or hear about them.
In a detailed 18,000 word report on the Dulce Base written on September 25, 2003, I covered the extensive human rights abuses occurring there, and the involvement of Draconian Reptilians. It is therefore not that surprising that the same thing, albeit on a much larger scale, is occurring in Antarctica.
The extensive collaboration occurring in Antarctica at secret industrial bases with Draconians underscores the importance of dealing with global pedophile rings. These rings have been claimed to be the means by which children are covertly taken to these Draconian controlled bases and abused.
In his August 9 update, Goode emphasizes the importance of a global meditation scheduled for August 21 at 11:11 am Pacific Coast Time.The meditation will coincide with a conference being organized at Mount Shasta where Goode and I will be speaking.
The meditation is a very good way to begin mobilizing global support for what US Special Forces are doing to help remove heavily compromised individuals from positions of authority, and stop the systematic abuse of children.

NOTE 2016: Lindsey Graham (R-SC) = Announces his PLAN for an “All-Jewish Cabinet” to insure he raise lots of campaign funds to run for President in an interview published today on “Washington Wire,” a Wall Street Journal blog. “The means. If I put together a finance team that will make me financially competitive enough to stay in this thing… I may have the first all-Jewish cabinet in America because of the pro-Israel funding.”
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) spends a lot of time in Jewish company. Graham said of his contemplating a presidential run, but “Bottom Line is, I’ve got a lot of support from the pro-Israel funding.”
So we have to assume “pro-Israel funding” would determine his choice of cabinet secretaries, as well as his policies.

1695 Earliest record of a Jew in Charleston, SC and he acted as interpreter for Governor John Archdale.
1702 Jews appeared in numbers and voted at a general election. The early Jewish communities in the South were made up primarily of Sephardic Jews who had immigrated from London and the Netherlands, where they had settled following expulsion from Spain and Portugal in the late 15th century.
1740-1741 The Jewish community at Charleston grew substantially following a Spanish invasion of Georgia in 1733.
Mid-1700s, Charleston was the preferred destination of Jewish immigrants from London, who represented numerous wealthy merchant families. They became involved in business, trade, finance and agriculture in Charleston, with some owning plantations.
1800 2,000 Jews in South Carolina (overwhelmingly Sephardic and settled in Charleston), which was more than in any other U.S. state at that time.
1820 Congregation Kahal Kadosh Beth Elohim would not accept as converts or any free people of color or any mixed-race children of Jewish men and African-American women.
1830 Charleston remained the unofficial capital of North American Jewry.
1830s Massive increases in Ashkenazi German Jews & Eastern Europe emigrating to America settled largely in New Orleans, Richmond, Savannah, Baltimore, and the Northeast (particularly in Boston, New York City and Philadelphia). They far surpassed the mostly Sephardic Jewish community in Charleston.
1774-1775 South Carolina was the first place in America to elect a Jew to public office

SOURCE OF TIMELINE PULLS FROM MANY SOURCES BUT THIS IS A KEY ONE:
Jews acted much like other white Charlestonians, including owning slaves. Jewish auctioneers like Abraham Mendes Seixas sold slaves along with other commodities. According to one study, 83% of Jewish households in Charleston owned at least one slave; this figure was slightly lower than the 87% of all white households in the city that owned slaves.
Most of the slaves owned by Jews in Charleston were house servants. A handful of successful Jewish merchants in Charleston bought slave plantations in the western part of the state, but most lived in the port city as was the general practice for South Carolina’s planter elite.
Mordecai Cohen owned 27 slaves who worked on his rice plantation.
Becoming a slave-owning planter was a way to ascend the social ladder in Charleston, although it often became a significant financial drain for Jews.
Beth Elohim’s constitution had a provision that banned black converts from membership.
Charleston Jews thoroughly accepted the South’s defense of slavery. Jacob Nunez Cardozo was a local newspaper editor who was a staunch supporter of the South’s cause and slavery.

Charleston – 3,500 Columbia – 2,500 Greenville – 1,200 Myrtle Beach – 425 Spartanburg – 330 Florence area – 220 Sumter area – 160
Beth Shalom is a conservative Reform congregation with roots dating back to the 1830’s in Columbia. Tree of Life is a more liberal Reform congregation dating back to 1896. Congregation Beit Midrash is the local Orthodox congregation.
All of these congregations are located in the Forest Acres area of Columbia.
There is a lot of Jewish history in South Carolina (particularly in Charleston, but also Beaufort, the small town of Kingstree, and here in Columbia).
200 years ago the Jewish population in South Carolina was percentage wise large.
Charleston & Columbia have Jewish elitism of the “Old South”.
