April 19, 2024
Dear Patriot,
Once again we end a fast news week with the nuggets of golden good news.
1- Sidney had very good news this week!
An important victory for the law itself and for Sidney Powell.
The Dallas Court of Appeals has affirmed the Texas state court’s dismissal of the Texas Bar’s case against Powell. After three years of litigation, the Court of Appeals held the Bar had no evidence Powell violated any disciplinary rule in filing four federal lawsuits in the aftermath of the 2020 election.

2- The amazingly resilient President Trump who is suffering through a kangaroo trial in New York City, managed to sneak in some campaigning in Harlem. As a result, he snagged the endorsement of a group of hard working business owners.
THOUSANDS of NYC Bodegas Just Issued a Stunning Statement Backing Donald Trump
QUOTE: The Bodega and Small Business Group (BSBG), which represents thousands of bodegas in New York City, has issued a statement backing President Donald J. Trump, slamming local District Attorney Alvin Bragg, and hitting out at local politicians who have ignored the widespread criminality occurring in the city.
“The Bodega and Small Business Group (BSBG)… is honored to host President Donald J. Trump at the Blue Moon bodega in Manhattan where Jose Alba was arrested for simply defending himself and his business against a convicted felon, the statement began.
“The Manhattan DA, Alvin Bragg, only backed off after an angry public campaign from store owners and their supporters united behind Mr. Alba and his Constitutional rights. The Bodega and Small Business Group appreciates President Trump’s support on behalf of tougher enforcement for retail thieves that are making our stores more dangerous and less profitable at the same time.
“President Trump’s visit and support comes at a time when our own state legislators have refused to strengthen the laws against repeat retail theft offenders: ‘Legislative Democrats have formally rejected Gov. Kathy Hochul’s proposal to make it a felony for assaulting a retail worker, a reflection of how the party remains split over criminal justice issues and how to address voters’ concerns over public safety.’
BSBG president, Fransisco Marte, said: “The visit of President Trump highlights just how much we have lost the way in New York. It is our hope that a former president coming to support NYC’s smallest stores, and also to demonstrate his support for stronger laws and enforcement, will spur our own elected officials to action.”

You will be entertained and angry at the same time.
Josh Hawley Leaves Biden Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm Flustered and Stammering While Obliterating Her for Lying About Owning Individual Stocks
QUOTE: On Tuesday, Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) obliterated far-left Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm over lying about owning individual stocks and proclaimed her the face of “institutionalized corruption” at the department.
As the New York Post notes, Granholm last year admitted to delivering false testimony to the panel last April by claiming she didn’t own any individual stock.
Granholm, the former Democratic governor of Michigan, laughably claimed during the hearing she made a “mistake” and had no clue she owned several stocks when she took over as Energy Secretary. In other words, she said she did not know her own stock portfolio.
Granholm then claimed she informed the committee as soon as she realized her testimony was false. But Hawley was having none of her nonsense. He introduced a board with a timeline showing Granholm quietly sold her individual stocks and then waited nearly a month before writing to the committee.
Hawley continued to pepper her with questions that left her flustered and stammering, including one about stocks in at least six companies that she offloaded in May 2023. He also pounded her questions regarding the foreign billionaires funding the Energy Department conferences and whether she was actually running the department. This just made her more flustered and angry.
As one will see, the destruction was so through that not even Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) could save Granholm.
4- A major purveyor of propaganda in Hollywood is shutting down the spigot, because no one wants to watch the lies.
Hollywood Depression: Participant, Studio Behind ‘An Inconvenient Truth’ & More Woke Message Movies, Shuts Down
QUOTE: Left-wing billionaire Jeff Skoll’s woke film studio, Participant, is reportedly shutting down operations and eliminating most of its staff — the latest victim of Hollywood’s sharp downturn that has seen a bloodbath of layoffs and budget cuts.
Participant, founded in 2004, often financed projects with social justice and globalist themes, including former Vice President Al Gore’s climate change documentary An Inconvenient Truth and its sequel. Other titles include the Obama’s Netflix documentary American Factory and the Ruth Bader Ginsburg doc RBG.
The studio also helped bankroll two best-picture Oscar winners — Green Book and Spotlight.
Jeff Skoll broke the news to Participant’s staff of roughly 100 on Tuesday, with almost all of them set to lose their jobs, according to a Variety report. There will be no new content development or production, while a skeleton crew will remain to oversee the studio’s library of about 135 titles.
Participant also experienced a number of high-profile box office flops — including the environmentally themed Dark Waters, starring Mark Ruffalo, and the Matt Damon thriller Stillwater.
Other Participant tiles include Steven Soderbergh’s Contagion, which portrayed the World Health Organization as a heroic force during a global pandemic; and the documentary Page One: Inside the New York Times, a behind-the-scenes look at the Grey Lady.

Protest against WHO pandemic treaty in Japan
QUOTE: That's weird. There was just a massive protest against the WHO and the mRNA vaccines in Japan, yet there was absolutely nothing about it on the mainstream media.
Tens of thousands of people took part in the massive protests - yet silence in the media.
The people in Japan were protesting against the WHO pandemic treaty and "the new world order".
Most people haven't heard about it for the simple reason that the media has continued to ignore it, they hope this will just go through without anybody noticing that power is being handed over to a bunch of unelected elites.
You can watch the video of the protests on Rumble. https://rumble.com/v4pixrc-thousands-attend-demonstration-against-who-and-new-world-order-across-multi.html
Not only were they protesting against the WHO, but also against the mRNA gene therapy "vaccines".
Things will get a whole lot worse than during covid if the pandemic treaty goes through. You see, the WHO will get the power to introduce lockdowns at will. They will gain a new level of power and control. For example to force countries to introduce vaccine passports, quarantines and even to force countries to censor speech that the WHO deems to be "misinformation".
No wonder that the Japanese are protesting against it.
The mainstream media is completely ignoring this.
6- The simultaneous efforts to rip away medical freedom in the world is hitting roadblocks of truth.
WHO Official Admits Vaccine Passports Failed; WHO Knew Vaccines Didn't Prevent Transmission
QUOTE: In a groundbreaking court case, a top WHO vaccine expert has admitted that COVID vaccine passports were unnecessary and misleading, as the vaccines failed to prevent transmission. This revelation, along with the tireless efforts of health freedom advocates, exposes the unconstitutionality of these passports and the erosion of fundamental rights under the guise of public health. As the truth unfolds, it is time for citizens to demand accountability from their governments and protect their liberties against overreach and coercion.
In a stunning courtroom revelation, Dr. Hanna Nohynek, the World Health Organization's chair of Strategic Group of Experts on immunization, testified that she advised her government against implementing COVID vaccine passports, as the vaccines did not stop virus transmission and the passports gave a false sense of security.1 The admission came to light during a lawsuit in Helsinki, where Finnish citizen Mika Vauhkala is suing the government after being denied entry to a café for not having a vaccine passport. Dr. Nohynek stated that the Finnish Institute for Health knew by the summer of 2021 that the COVID-19 vaccines did not stop virus transmission, yet vaccine passports continued to be required.1
Dr. Aseem Malhotra, a British cardiologist, will also testify in the case, stating that "during the COVID pandemic, some authorities and medical professionals supported unethical, coercive, and misinformed policies such as vaccine mandates and vaccine passports, which undermined informed patient consent and evidence-based medical practice."2 In his written testimony, Dr. Malhotra emphasizes that "there was never any evidence justifying any COVID-19 vaccine mandates, passports or any of the other coercive measures adopted by various governments worldwide."2 He also argues that "the time has come to stop misleading evidence flowing downstream into media reporting and clinical decision making and resulting in unethical and unscientific policy decisions."2
The revelations from Dr. Nohynek and Dr. Malhotra raise serious questions about the necessity and efficacy of COVID vaccine passports, which restricted citizens' freedoms and may have provided a false sense of security during the pandemic.
7- Every single day that children are protected from this insane savagery is a good thing.
Supreme Court Allows Idaho to Suspend Child Sex Changes While Appeals Against State Ban Are Ongoing.
QUOTE: The United States Supreme Court has ruled that Idaho can enforce its ban on sex changes for minors while an appeal is pending. The court’s directive was issued in response to an emergency request from the Gem State.
Two teenage plaintiffs have challenged the law. The Supreme Court ruled they, specifically, are to be exempt from its implementation while their appeals are ongoing, but it can be enforced across the state more generally.
The Idaho law outlaws mutilating surgeries and the administration of puberty blockers, hormones, and other medical therapies to minors.
The evidence such therapies are an effective treatment for “gender dysphoria” is extremely thin, however, with England among several jurisdictions that have now banned the routing prescription of puberty blockers to children.
Evidence is emerging that such treatments have dangerous and often irreversible side effects, however, and that most gender-confused children grow out of their delusions naturally.

8- This is happening, very quietly. We must pray for these young people. And pray that more will find "the way, the truth and the light."
‘God Is Moving’: Thousands of U.S. Students ‘Hungry for Truth’ Flood Revivals as Hundreds Are Baptized
QUOTE: A group that began during a massive revival at Auburn University in September is seeing God move among young people at its events on other campuses in America.
The Christian Post reported Tuesday that the group Unite US hosted an event at Florida State University in February where approximately 300 people were baptized. Another 260 were baptized at the University of Alabama in March.
In a social media post on April 4, Unite US said 7,000 students had gathered near the University of Georgia to worship Jesus the night before. “Afterwards, hundreds of students gathered for baptisms outside of Fiji, a fraternity house parking lot, to celebrate decisions to live their lives for Jesus. God is moving in college students and we believe this is just the beginning!!”:
The founder of Unite US, Tonya Prewett, told the Post that the movement “was birthed from a vision God gave me after mentoring college students and hearing about their pain, anxiety and depression.” She says the hundreds of baptisms are due to “a move of God that can only be explained by Him” because young people are “hungry for truth and hope.”
PRAY for divine intervention. PRAY for warriors. PRAY for all children.
