The People’s Report: DEATH OF A THOUSAND CUTS by Leon Prather, The Progressive Watchman (CONTINUED)
changers/Banksters tables and called the place the Robbers’ Den. It’s awfully funny after that the Banksters/Money Changers said IMMEDIATELY He had to go and then I’ll add in BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY. Please excuse my analogy! See there is truth in my analogy across all spectrums, but most peeps can’t handle the truth and believe in a lie.
Back to the chart. In the financial arena charts are used for decision making. All the chart is in simple terms is the highs and lows of a daily, weekly or yearly closing prices of anything when plotted out gives a visual trend which is history. That’s where the term called ‘the trend is your friend’, therefore you can make an educated guess based upon a chart because it’s all math, history and physics. When you hear talk of a “strong U.S. dollar,” don’t be fooled. The U.S. dollar is only strong in comparison to other rapidlydepreciating currencies. This is why President Biden and others before him gets to call shots along with our strong military, however, the BRIC Nations mainly the Russia, India, China along with Middle Eastern countries like Saudi Arabia the other oil producing countries in that region along with African Bloc where 2/3 of the worlds’ population lives and Gross domestic product (GDP) off the chain is challenging the hegemony of the USA and this is the real reason for the worldwide sanctions against Russia and the USA messing with China. IT’S ABOUT THE MONEY! POWER AND CONTROL!!! This bloc is introducing another financial system which is backed by physical assets mainly gold, silver and commodities which those countries have an abundance of. They are also some main users of Decentralized Crypto to skate around the USA Dollar and influence and it’s also why the SEC is Messing with XRP; because they XRP uses a new MONEY CHANGING ON DEMAND LIQUIDITY system that runs on the decentralized Blockchain which is a new paradigm shift that is taking hold based upon the development in the space.
With those other world currencies dying a ‘death of a thousand cuts’ the USA cartel days is numbered because of the gross mismanagement in the economies of the world. There’s also a real chance that Saudi Arabia starts selling their oil on the new Shanghai Exchange further denting the USA’s petrodollar influence. We can thank President Biden for calling them a Pariah State which means scum of the earth. They have already rejected him 3 times. Then add in the Pusherman Powell trying to break the Sons of Perditions back financially in a ‘clash of titans’. Death of a thousand cuts inside of the Cat 7 Cyclone is a slow death but in this case death can come rapidly and painfully because of the Category 7 Cyclone.
The governments of the world will introduce a CBDC which they think is the answer which they think will stop one of the main cuts. Let me pose this question do you want the CBDC to steal your money slowly over time or all at once? LOL!!! The governments run by the Sons of Perdition around the world are betting on ‘all at once’. This is why those whose ears and eyes of their understanding has been enlightened will move away centralization. And will counterpunch in the decentralized arena.

Boy, 11, fatally shot in Dallas by teen arguing with another
DALLAS (AP) — A 14-yearold girl fatally shot an 11-yearold boy at a Dallas apartment complex parking lot after retrieving a gun during an argument with another child, police said.
Police said that the 14-year-old shot in the direction of the girl she was fighting with, but the shot ended up striking the 11-year-old bystander on Sunday afternoon.
“Everyone involved are juveniles and this is just a horrible incident,” police Sgt. Warren Mitchell said.
The 11-year-old was taken to a hospital, where he died.
Police say the 14-year-old ran from the scene of the shooting and was later taken into custody at a nearby apartment complex. Police said the 14-year-old is being held at a juvenile justice center and is expected to be charged with murder.
The weapon was recovered, according to police, who continue to investigate.
The Unforgettable Play written by Garret Davis
More Americans are living with Alzheimer’s disease – an estimated 6.5 million Americans. Older Black Americans are twice as likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease than White Americans. Black Americans are less likely to receive a diagnosis. Further, when they are diagnosed, it is typically in the later stages of the disease, when their medical needs are greater.
To help raise awareness of the impact of Alzheimer’s on Black American communities, Gdavis Productions and Films, LLC and the Alzheimer’s Association have joined together to create a new stage play titled, Unforgettable, which is coming to The Black Academy of Arts and Letters in Dallas on February 18, 2023. You can reserve your free tickets at www. unforgettableplay.com. This dynamic and unique stage play shines a spotlight on how one family navigates this devastating disease while caring for a loved one living with Alzheimer’s. The story will showcase the emotional toll on families, while emphasizing the importance of early detection and treatment and the benefits of clinical trial participation.
If you need assistance today, the Alzheimer’s Association offers free 45-minute online e-Learning classes. With over 20 topics to choose from, there is something for everyone. Perhaps you are a caregiver seeking to increase your caregiving skills and confidence, or a friend wanting to understand how to support a neighbor living with the disease, or a life-long learner looking to expand your personal knowledge. You might even be an educator seeking opportunities for your students to earn extra credit outside the classroom. Each course provides a personal certificate of completion that may be downloaded. By increasing community awareness about brain health, we might help to shift mindsets and reduce stigmas and myths surrounding this disease. Check out our complete catalog of classes at alz.org/training, or for more information call the 24/7 Helpline at 800.272.3900.
When you hire a lawyer, it’s because you need them to use their expertise to navigate the law in order to accomplish your goals. However, in order to do their job properly, your attorney has needs of you as well. This week we’ll talk about what a few of those needs are, and why they are so important for the success of your case.
The most important thing that I need from my clients is their trust and honesty. I tell each of my clients that there are two people that you need to be completely honest with, your attorney and your doctor. Without trust and honesty, I cannot adequately do my job. If
there are bad facts in your case, I need to know them so that I can properly prepare to defend against them. You don’t want the first time your attorney hears about your assault charge to be in the middle of a trial. During your consultation tell your attorney all of the facts both the good and the bad. We’re here to help you, not judge you.
Next is your responsiveness. Your attorney will reach out to you for various reasons. Sometimes it is merely to update you on the status of your case, but other times it is because something important is needed. If you receive an email asking for documents, your signature, or questions pertaining to your case; you need to respond appropriately as soon as you are able. There are times where a case can come to a standstill because a client has gone MIA when something is needed from them.
On the other hand, your attorney also needs space to properly work on your case. If you are calling them every hour on the hour, they won’t have the time they need to do the work necessary for your case. As mentioned above you will need to trust that they are working hard in your favor, even when they are not talking you through each step.
Finally, sometimes your attorney just needs you to listen to their advice. For example, if you attorney advises you to stop communicating with the opposing party in writing, please listen to them. They are not trying to control you; they are trying to keep you from giving the other side evidence to use against you.

Kayla Kelley Update: Body Found Near Boyfriend's Home After He Was Arrested For Kidnapping By Suneeta Sunny

33-year-old woman in Texas has been missing for over a week and police have now found a body near her boyfriend's house.
Ocastor Ferguson was put behind bars last week on suspicion of kidnapping Kayla Kelley. The unidentified body of a woman was later discovered minutes away from Ferguson's residence, WFAA reported.
"Investigators with the Collin County Sheriff's Office and Texas Rangers located a deceased female in a Grand Prairie field. The located remains will be further examined by the Tarrant County Medical Examiner's Office," the sheriff's department said in a news release Wednesday.
Officers said they will release additional information if there are any new developments.
Kelley was reported missing on Jan. 11 after her friends said they did not see her for several days. When police began the investigation, they found Kelley’s vehicle in a burneddown condition in a deserted area. They determined that the “incident was not consistent with a natural fire,” WFAA reported.
Ferguson was arrested on Jan. 14 after investigators found evidence that Kelley had planned to confront her boyfriend before she vanished, the arrest affidavit revealed.
Kelley had been dating Ferguson for around six months, but the latter was using a different name, Kevin. When Kelley recently learned about her boyfriend’s real identity and that he was married, she reportedly threatened to expose him, NBC DFW reported citing the arrest affidavit.
After examining Ferguson’s phone records, cops found out he was at work on Jan.10 and then left for his home in Grand Prairie. He then reportedly drove to Kelley’s duplex and to the area where her burned car was located before returning home.
When cops questioned Ferguson, he denied knowing anything about Kelley’s current location or what had happened to the vehicle. However, he admitted to driving the car and said Kelley was in the back seat.
The man’s wife told investigators that she received a text from an unknown number on Jan. 4, saying they needed to tell her something. However, she reportedly could not contact the person as her phone had been broken since then.
Ferguson is currently held in the Collin County Jail on bonds of more than $1 million, reports said.

Hands-Only CPR Increases the Chance of Survival in Someone Having Cardiac Arrest By Linda Thrasybule
While most Americans feel ill equipped to perform CPR during an emergency, experts say you’re better off doing it than not. Find out how you can save a life.

Would you know what to do if someone went into cardiac arrest? Many people don’t, according to a 2019 national poll from the American College of Emergency Physicians. Most adults are either completely unprepared or lack the confidence to help if a medical emergency occurs.
While poll participants were confident in their ability to help someone in a non-life-threatening emergency, like fainting, 41 percent felt unprepared to administer hands-only CPR, a technique that can double or even triple a cardiac arrest victim’s chance of survival, according to the American Heart Association (AHA). mouth-to-mouth, the most important thing is to perform chest compressions,” says Jose Torradas, MD, an emergency physician at St. Mary Medical Center in Langhorne, Pennsylvania, and an American College of Emergency Physicians spokesperson. “Chest compressions move the oxygen in the blood to the brain, and that’s what matters most.”
On average it takes about six to nine minutes for EMS to arrive, says Dr. Torradas, which often isn’t soon enough to save a life. “During cardiac arrest, brain cells get injured the moment they don’t get oxygen, so after 5 to 10 minutes, the chances of survival are slim to none.”
Research shows that handsonly CPR can help save a life. According to a large Swedish study published in April 2019 in the journal Circulation, handsonly CPR doubled a person's odds of surviving at least 30 days after cardiac arrest.
“People think they might hurt someone [when performing chest compressions], but actually you’re much better off performing CPR on someone who doesn’t need it than not performing it on someone who needs it,” says Charles Pozner, MD, an emergency physician and an associate professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School's department of emergency medicine in Boston.
What Happens During Cardiac Arrest?
Cardiac arrest is an abrupt loss of heart function that occurs when the heart’s electrical system malfunctions. Although a heart attack is often mistaken for cardiac arrest, it is not the same thing. A heart attack is caused by the blockage of blood flow to the heart. Unlike cardiac arrest, in which a person is unresponsive and loses consciousness, a person having a heart attack is usually able to talk and breathe.
People who have heart disease are at higher risk for cardiac arrest. But it can happen to people who appear healthy, too.
About 9 out of 10 people who have cardiac arrest outside a hospital setting don’t survive it, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Since about 350,000 cardiac arrests occur outside of the hospital each year, that means hundreds of thousands of people can die from the condition annually, according to the AHA.
Cardiac arrest is often fatal without taking immediate steps like administering CPR or using a defibrillator. Unfortunately, only 46 percent of people who experience cardiac arrest get the immediate help they need before professional help arrives, reports the AHA.
How Do You Know if Someone Is Experiencing Cardiac Arrest?
If you suspect someone is suffering from cardiac arrest, first try to rouse the person by tapping them and shouting. If they are unresponsive, yell for someone to call 911. If you’re alone, make the call yourself. Then check for a pulse and see if the person is breathing.
If they aren’t breathing or are having trouble breathing, such as gasping for air, you should begin chest compressions until help arrives. When someone on the street collapses, it's likely they’ll have oxygen in their blood and their lungs, notes Dr. Pozner. In other words, chest compressions can move the blood and whatever oxygen is there through the bloodstream and to the brain. “Every second counts,” he says.
If you do perform CPR and the person starts to breathe again, Torradas recommends laying the person on their side, also called a recovery position, and wait with them for EMS.
How to Perform Hands-Only CPR
Hands-only CPR involves pushing hard and fast in the center of the chest at the rate of 100 to 120 pushes per minute. One easy way to do this is to time your pushes to the beat of songs like Beyoncé’s “Crazy in Love,” Lady Gaga’s “Just Dance,” or “Staying Alive,” by the Bee Gees. There’s even a "Songs to do CPR to" playlist on Spotify.
