An attorney for one of the women accusing New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo of sexual harassment is claiming that the governor is interfering with a state attorney general investigation.
Debra Katz, who represents Cuomo accuser Charlotte Bennett, complained in a letter to New York Attorney General Letitia James. It follows an Albany Times Union report that the administration was offering attorneys to meet with staffers before James’ office interviewed them, and even to accompany them to the interviews. Katz said she understood that the attorneys were also “debriefing” employees after the interviews.
Katz argued that having attorneys from Cuomo’s office speak with employees could have a “chilling effect on potential witnesses or other accusers who wish to come forward but fear job-related retaliation” if they speak out. She claimed that she has already spoken to witnesses who told her that they were afraid of facing retaliation “if they refuse to cooperate with the Executive Chamber’s lawyers” and felt “constrained” from speaking about Cuomo’s conduct and their work environment in front of administration attorneys.
“We believe that this offer of counsel constitutes a deliberate attempt by the governor to interfere with your office’s investigation,” Katz said.
The Spring Breakers were having a jolly good time down at South Beach. Skin was soaking up the sunshine; mouths were imbibing the tequila and hands were grabbing anything they could. But this was too much for the local gestapo; they went into action CRASHING the party goers. What was that all about?
Pointing to over 1,000 arrests in one of the nation’s top party spots, Miami Beach officials warned Sunday that the unruly spring break crowd gathering by the thousands, fighting in the streets, destroying restaurant property and refusing to wear masks has become a serious threat to public safety.
Commissioners gathered virtually Sunday and extended for another week the emergency declaration issued Saturday in response to the unruly South Beach crowds, CBS Miami reported.
Damn it! Where are the police when you need them. Seattle, Portland, Detroit, Minneapolis, Philadelphia, New York, St Louis. We just can’t understand why the Police have jumped in here, but not where cities were being burned to the ground, the MEN IN BLUE WERE TOLD TO STAND ASIDE. There is no explanation for this desperate action. And please remind us of the hundreds of thousand illegals who crossed our borders, many of them wanton criminals, who were green lighted by the Biden administration. No arrests there for murder, rape, child molestation, etc.
The National Task Force for the West Philippine Sea released pictures of the vessels
The Philippines government voiced concern — without lodging a formal protest — over some 220 Chinese vessels allegedly sighted at a South China Sea reef claimed by both countries.
Although an international tribunal in 2016 invalidated China’s claim to 90% of the South China Sea maritime region, Beijing does not recognize the ruling.
What was seen at the reef?
A Philippines government body that oversees the disputed area said the vessels were seen moored at Whitsun Reef, which Manila calls Julian Felipe, on March 7.
The National Task Force for the West Philippine Sea released pictures of the vessels, alleged to be manned by maritime military personnel, lying side by side in formation.
“Despite clear weather at the time, the Chinese vessels massed at the reef showed no actual fishing activities and had their full white lights turned on during night-time,” the task force said in a statement.
The presence of the boats was “a concern due to the possible overfishing and destruction of the marine environment, as well as risks to safety of navigation,” it added.

China has already built airstrips and buildings on man-made islands in the Spratly Islands maritime region
What could the Philippines do?
When asked if he would file a diplomatic protest, Foreign Minister Teodoro Locsin said he would do so: “Only if the generals tell me.”
“In my watch, foreign policy is the fist in the iron glove of the armed forces,” he said.
The Reuters news agency on Sunday cited Philippines Defense Minister Delfin Lorenzana, saying the presence of the vessels, apparently still at the site, was “a clear provocative action of militarizing the area.”
“We call on the Chinese to stop this incursion and immediately recall these boats violating our maritime rights and encroaching into our sovereign territory.”
Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte has nurtured friendly ties with Beijing since taking office in 2016.
He has been criticized for not standing up to China’s perceived aggressive behavior and not seeking Chinese compliance with the international arbitration ruling.
“When Xi says ‘I will fish,’ who can prevent him?” Duterte said, defending his non-confrontational approach.
“If I send my marines to drive away the Chinese fishermen, I guarantee you not one of them will come home alive,” Duterte said.
Duterte has meanwhile sought infrastructure funds, trade and investments from China, which has also donated and pledged more COVID-19 vaccines to the Philippines as the country faces an alarming rise in coronavirus infections.
“Gov. Whitmer made the same policy choice as Gov. Cuomo, forcing contagious senior citizens into close proximity with other medically vulnerable people.”
he state of Michigan is facing a lawsuit whose plaintiffs are seeking information on Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s coronavirus-related executive order regarding the state’s nursing home residents.
Whitmer could soon find herself under scrutiny similar to that faced by a fellow Democrat, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, the Michigan men taking the legal action against Whitmer say.
Plaintiffs Steve Delie and Charlie LeDuff outlined the purpose of their lawsuit in an article published Friday by USA Today. Delie is an official with the think tank Mackinac Center for Public Policy, while LeDuff is a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist.
Turkey has stuck a finger in the eye of NATO too many times. Their cozying up to China, Iran and Russia is reason enough to bounce them from this auspicious organization. An important point to make is their purchase of S-400 missile defense system form Vlad Putin. Biden is no match for Xi, in fact his mouth is a holster for Xi’s gun.
TURKISH ECONOMY IMPLODING. Lira and Turkish stocks collapse after Erdogan fires central bank chief, as other emerging market currencies struggle. The dollar USDTRY, 10.04% rose by as much as 15% vs the Turkish lira, and the BIST-100 stock-market index XU100, -9.54% traded 8% lower after President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s decision to replace Governor Naci Agbal with Sahap Kavcioglu — the third change at the Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey (CBRT) in two years. Turkey’s central bank last week hiked interest rates by 2 percentage points to 19%, a full percentage point more than expected. ERDOGAN TAKING IT UP WHERE THE SUN DON’T SHINE.
The guy is a worldwide trouble-maker, time to take him out for lunch the Putin way.
U.S. sanctions Turkey over purchase of Russian S-400 missile system
TWO BIRDS OF A FEATHER FLOCKING TOGETHER – 10% OF GERMANY CONSISTS OF TURKS
PUBLISHED MON, DEC 14 20201:08 PM ESTUPDATED TUE, DEC 15 20209:11 AM EST
The Trump administration imposed sanctions on Turkey on Monday over its multibillion-dollar acquisition of a Russian missile system.
In 2017, Turkish President Recep Erdogan brokered a deal reportedly worth $2.5 billion with Russian President Vladimir Putin for the S-400 mobile surface-to-air missile system.
The S-400 system is said to pose a risk to the NATO alliance as well as the F-35, America’s most expensive weapons platform.
The flying azzle award goes to Stoltenberg. The guy has been duped by Turkey, Russia, Iran and the tree huggers.
The China Virus has killed close to 3 million people, yet the governments around the world have not taken any action to punish the CCP. China’s Silk road policy is mean to buy, harass and steal the life-blood of every country on earth – a world takeover. They must pay, the WHO must pay. Only one country has to step up to get the ball rolling.
XI – A MURDERER – NUMBER ONE ON THE WORLD’S MOST WANTED LIST
DON’T FORGET THE “WHO HEAD” WAS COMPLICIT IN THIS MOTHER OF ALL COVER-UPS
The WHO chief’s subsequent lavish public praise of China’s leadership for its efforts to combat the disease came even as evidence mounted that Chinese officials had silenced whistleblowers and suppressed information about the outbreak. His remarks prompted criticism from some member states for being over the top. U.S. President Donald Trump has led the charge, accusing the WHO of being “China-centric” and suspending American funding of the health agency.
Tedros is “obviously frustrated” by Trump’s move and feels the WHO is being used as a “political football,” the person familiar with the discussions said.
It is widely known that when the new coronavirus emerged in December 2019, the Chinese government downplayed the pandemic threat for several critical weeks. Less commonly known is those same authorities deliberately sacrificed health workers to maintain their lies.
The Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) calculated cover-up enabled the coronavirus to go global. By silencing doctors, Beijing not only fueled this pandemic but also compromised the world’s ability to spot the next one.
Why the CCP decided to cover up the outbreak is unclear. It may have been a reluctance to cancel political meetings, a fear of public panic—especially around the Chinese New Year—the embarrassment of another pathogen being born on Chinese soil, or the simple instinct to squash bad news ingrained into officials in an authoritarian system.
This series looks at how many experts missed the mark in the early days of the pandemic—and what we can learn for next time.
Among experts: Social scientists thought they knew what impact the pandemic would have. They were very wrong.
In the U.S.: Public health experts thought they had a world-beating pandemic response in place. That overconfidence doomed 500,000 Americans.
Pandemics are like wars. The first casualty is truth.
Instead of notifying the World Health Organization (WHO) about the outbreak of atypical pneumonia and evidence of human spread, the authorities censored information, concealed the virus, and silenced doctors who tried to warn their colleagues. Hospital leaders refused to authorize masks or other personal protective equipment (PPE) on the grounds that it would cause panic. As patients infected health care workers and health care workers infected one another, hospital leaders insisted that spread among humans was impossible—that no staff members were infected—even altering diagnoses that suggested otherwise.
Beijing’s official line through Jan. 19, 2020 was that the outbreak began in late December 2019, that all cases had been infected by an unidentified animal source at the Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market, and that no health care workers were infected. But even when the government conceded human spread on Jan. 20, it reported only a fraction of the real numbers.
These falsehoods influenced the WHO’s decision not to immediately declare a Public Health Emergency of International Concern, a step it had previously taken over Ebola, Zika, and the H1N1 virus. It also informed the widespread belief that COVID-19 spread in a similar manner to influenza—by large droplets landing on surfaces and transferred by touching rather than through airborne microdroplets. That misdirection contributed to the early and persistent focus in the West on surface disinfection and hand hygiene rather than masks—considerably more effective.
Coercing work associates to comply with a dictum manifest the action of one who is desperate. In the case at hand, the sexual deviate of Albany had pressured state employees to sign on to his good nature in addition to becoming a witness in alleged accusations against him.
Sorry to say the “signing on” to this fabrication did not go well. The raucous tormentor has threatened numerous associates to heel. Not only that he told another member of the administration that if he was a dog he would mount her. But taking the liberty to fondle a breast of a subordinate is beyond the pale. He wanted her to take one for the team. In case you we are alluding to a monster of the Empire State. A picture of this cold blooded wanton killer provides a significant clue.
A murder roams the street by day, a sex derived pervert roams the hall of power by night.
Report says aides to Gov. Andrew Cuomo sought to discredit one of his accusers
Lindsey Boylan claims the aides made calls for information on her. Lindsey Boylan, the first woman to publicly accuse New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo of sexual harassment, claims the governor’s network of aides has sought to discredit and tarnish her reputation.
The Journal’s report also said advisers to the governor drafted a letter attacking Boylan’s credibility. The first drafts were reported by The New York Times which said that Cuomo’s advisers ultimately decided against releasing the letter.
All the big guns are now pointed at the Killa. The SWAT TEAM has arrived. They are utilizing all available methods to coax out the Mass Murderer. They have given him time before smoking him out. But their patience is wearing thin. Ultimatums have been given to no avail. We suspect the beast will soon come to his senses and give up. If not, all hell will break loose with blood will being spilled.
We know the end of this play; not very pretty. Mentally deformed Joe Biden has hit the skids. We won’t go into any of his gaffes, rest assured there are hundreds. But hopefully you are abreast of his latest slip up, aka the Bidenfall. If you are not alarmed by this, be alarmed. This “CLOWN” has the ability to push the “button.” Think about it. His mental acuity has imploded in the past dozen years. Now we know why he ran a “cellar dweller campaign.” His lack of communication skills is gone. In fact, Joe Biden’s brain is gone; most likely eaten away by the same powder his drug addicted son was hooked on.
We don’t think any of this is funny, nothing to laugh about here. What we are worried about is him cracking his head open on the next “Bidenfall” which would bring a lying marijuana head into the presidency. Bet she inhaled more than MJ. We are looking at a total disaster here. The possibility of him stepping down is also a probability.
We see clearly what took place in 2020, Joe Biden did not have the capability to campaign, we know that now, we knew that then. Coming to light is his lack of fluid in his cranium needed to carrying on a conversation. The question has to be asked, was this a sham election? Joe Biden was the only person who could attract middle of the road voters. There was no one else in the running that could do that. The Democrat candidates were all “RULES FOR RADICAL” candidates.
America was buffaloed by the social media outlets and biased news organizations who did not fairly report the news. Their power unabated to promote a socialist anti-Amerian agenda The proof was the implosion by all of the candidates, even Harris; she couldn’t attract a fly. And now she is one breath away from the Oval Office. The only way to RIGHT THIS WRONG IS FOR THE MILITARY TO STEP IN BY AUTHORIZATION OF THE SUPREME COURT.
Think about what is happening today; our country is being invaded by a foreign power. Biden has invited them in, he has given them the green light to rape, murder and invade our country. If hot stopped now, When? OUR COUNTRY IS AT STAKE. THIS ABUSE OF POWER MUST BE STOPPED.
