Ohio Governor DeWine, Director of Health Acton and Lt. Governor Husted started handling the Coronavirus outbreak with faulty modeling,
while ignoring critical real-time data. Now the trio suppresses critical data. Ohioans:  aware, enraged and bracing to fight for the truth.


The backdrop

COVID-19 first made an indelible mark on Ohioans when Governor Mike DeWine canceled the 2020 Arnold Sports Festival, which was
schedule to start March 5.  On March 16, Governor DeWine backed a lawsuit seeking to
postpone the primary election scheduled for the next day. The suit was filed by Ohioans who feared voting in person would expose voters and poll workers to COVID-19.

 
Franklin County Common Pleas Judge Richard Fry declined to postpone the election, but Fry’s decision did not stop DeWine. In the late hours of election eve, Ohio Department of Health Director Amy Acton declared a healthcare emergency to force polls closed. The emergency powers are granted by the Ohio Revised Code and have been in effect since March 16. 

Early data flawed

Nearly a week before the stay-at-home order was issued, Imperial College epidemiologist Neil Ferguson modeled the COVID-19 outbreak. Ferguson’s model became the point of reference for leaders across the globe, influencing lockouts and sheltering policies.

Ferguson himself backtracked on his model’s accuracy just weeks later after the projections tanked. The swing and miss on COVID-19 is not Ferguson’s first projection whiff.  Ferguson predicted 200 million would die from the bird flu in 2005--deaths totaled 455. In 2009 Ferguson predicted 65,000 people would die in the U.K. from swine flu—the death toll was 392.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH OHIO/OHIOANS?

An open Letter to members of Ohio Get Back to Work Parade, Open Ohio Now and all Patriots.

At the time of this writing, we have had a total of 8 Rallies/Protests now.  I have personally been to 4 of them.

What do I see?  The first rally I attended had about 3 to 400 people, I will give it 500 on the high side.  The second one had a much better showing, I would take a guess at about 7 to 800.

The third rally I attended was Monday, April 27th.  The turnout was pathetic; 150 to 200 . . . tops.  There was no speaker.  A gentleman without any experience got thrown into being one.  (Hhe did his best and came back strong at the May 1 rally.)  The crowd had very little energy; it was bad!

The forth rally I attended was on May 1.  The crowd was probably our strongest, yet.  I don’t think we hit 1000 people, but I give it a good mark.  The energy was there.  Compared to the other rallies, this one was probably the best.

Now, with that being said, I ask once again, "what is wrong with Ohioans?"  Michigan put together a rally some 50,000 strong, on their first attempt!  Wisconsin put together a huge rally, over 5000 strong, on their first attempt.

California put together a rally the other day; you could not even count the number of people flooding the area.  Pennsylvania put together a rally of over 5000 strong on their first attempt.

We have had 8 Rallies now!!  What is wrong with Ohio? WHY can we not even get 10,000 strong, after 8 attempts?  Why do we not have the support of a good majority of the business owners who are closed right now?

Blast from the Past - "The Spirit of Resistance"

The following is the written testimony of William Boylan to the CT General Assembly Task Force On Gun Violence Prevention And Children's Safety, given on 28Jan2013. His condensed oral testimony, derived from the written, is presented in the video.  The task force was formed as a reaction to the Newtown Massacre with the express intent of enacting even greater limitation to the people's right to keep and bear arms.


The Middletown Insider wishes to thank you, Palin Smith, for recording this and for your many years of dedication to the cause of liberty.  It is a pleasure and honor to know you, Patriot. 

Ladies and gentlemen,  

First, let me remind everyone that the elected official and the public servant are the servants of the People, not their masters.

There is a contract between the People and the government.  That contract consists of the United States and Connecticut constitutions.  These are the Supreme law of the land and a restriction on the powers of government, not on the rights and powers of the people.  All government power is derived from the people.

Sec. 15 of the Connecticut Constitution states, “Every citizen has a right to bear arms in defense of himself and the state.”  This is clear and unambiguous.  It identifies the “who”, “every citizen”, the “what”, “a right to bear arms” and the “why”, “in defense of themselves and the state”.

The Second Amendment states, “A well regulated militia, being necessary for the security of a free state, the right of the People to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.”  Because of the evolution of language and dismal failure of our education system, this requires explanation.

The Second Amendment is two fold.  The first “what”, “A well regulated militia,” refers both to a right and a responsibility of the People.  What is the militia?  To answer that, it is necessary to look at the writings of those who drafted, debated and ratified the Bill of Rights.

George Mason said, "I ask, sir, what is the militia? It is the whole people, except for a few public officials." 1)

James Madison said, “A well regulated militia, composed of the body of the people, trained to arms, is the best and most natural defense of a free country ..." 2)

These are just two examples of the Founder’s statements regarding the militia.  It is clear that the militia is the whole body of the people.

World Domination - Part Two

I will share an idea with you; it is one of several. This will be a longer message, as I have to support it with reason.

We have a group of very powerful and wealthy people who I refer to as the medical scientists agenda group.  It involves the WHO, CDC, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Warren Buffet  9who is a chairman of the Bill Gates Foundation   0, The Clinton Foundation, Anthony Faucci,  (who has been a part of WHO and the Gates Foundation), and several other very powerful people across the world.

This is a power play, and it is for world power.  The Gates Foundation wants vaccines for everything, and they want a universal flu vaccine to cure the flu and viruses like corona virus.  This vaccine will also, (supposedly), prevent future flu and viruses.  They want these vaccinations to be mandatory, worldwide.  These people are trying to take the place of God.

If you look at Ohio, Amy Acton, the public health director, is calling all the shots, not DeWine.  If you look at President Trump’s press conferences, who is primarily calling the shots?  Anthony Faucci and Linda Byrx.  This is happening not only in the United States, but also in many other countries across the world.  Why is India quarantining 1.3 billion people when they had 700 cases and less than 100 deaths?  Why are so many countries in Europe under the same stay-at-home order as we are?  It is because of the advice of the medical "experts".  The health departments are holding the ultimate authority in all of our counties in Ohio, as well as many other states.

Why are the medical scientists holding the ultimate authority in this country, as well as many others?  There is definitely an agenda, here.

China Update Biosecurity, Biosafety, Bioweapons, and China’s Dual-Use Bioresearch

By Daria Novak
 
Daria is also a former State Department official and co-host of  "The American Political Zone" and friend.
 
The current Wuhan Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has focused much-needed attention on China’s dual-use bio-research programs. “Dual-purpose bioresearch refers to bioscience research that can be used for beneficial purposes or abused for harmful ends,” wrote four Chinese scientists from Wuhan last summer, according to a Journal of Biosafety and Biosecurity. One of the researchers, Yuan Zhiming, is director of the Chinese National Biosafety Laboratory and a researcher at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV). 
 
The three other researchers include another WIV researcher, Ma Haixia, a Chinese Academy of Sciences researcher Liang Huigang, and Xiang Xiaowei of the Huazhong University of Science and Technology in Wuhan. Together they explained that China lacks a law solely dedicated to biosafety regulation, or a complete supervisory system for handling new biotechnologies.
 
These scientists are not the only ones aware of the deficits in China’s biosafety regimes for its research labs. They are, however, among the few scientific elite in China writing about the specifics of biosafety prior to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Months later, February 14, 2020, President-for-Life Xi Jinping addressed the need for comprehensive new and revised laws to deal with biohazards in a talk to senior members of the State Council. What is most revealing, however, is his choice of words. With the change of only one character, his speech morphed from a talk on biosafety to one on biosecurity.

Reading the English version, one might not notice the change of “shengwu anquan” to “shengwu anbao.” In some languages, biosafety and biosecurity are one concept comprised of a single word. In China, this is no longer the case. Less than a decade ago, Beijing split the term into two separate and critical concepts.

“Biosafety” now references organism-related, human or non-human factors, that may pose a risk to life, including public health, the economy, social stability, and the natural environment. Biosafety therefore focuses primarily on the principle technologies and physical practices in a laboratory that prevent the unintended exposure of pathogens and toxins to the outside environment.
 
In contrast, “biosecurity” addresses the use of biological agents, or biotechnology, as bioweapons or bioterrorism, including the organism’s ability to harm the national security of the state. This is what apparently concerned President Xi in his February address and should concern the world today.

Are we going after and blaming those ultimately responsible for what is going on in our states and nation?

Part One concentrates on the main point; a point I want people just to thing about.  Part Two will be more speculation on my part, almost "conspiracy theory" I guess you could say; but, then again, maybe not.  I encourage everyone to read Part One.  As far as Part Two, that is totally up to the individual.  It is controversial.  And, it is speculative.  For some, it may be very disturbing.  I will separate the two parts though, so you have a choice on what to read.

I think it is time to wake some people up to an idea.  I have thought long and hard, searching for answers to try and find the true agenda behind what is going on in the world with this whole Covid19 mass panic and scare.

I am going to start off with a list of very wealthy, very powerful individuals and groups that I want you to acknowledge:

WHO, CDC, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Warren Buffet (who is a chairman of Gates Foundation), Anthony Fauci (who is involved with the WHO and the Gates Foundation); and, The Clinton Foundation.  This is a small list; the full list involves many more, worldwide.

Has anyone noticed that the heads of our communities, the heads of our states, and even our president to a certain degree, are NOT the ones calling the shots?

Star Parker - CNN Hits a New Low


Center for Urban Renewal and Education

Fellow Conservative,
 
With everything going on, it is important to remember who is really in charge – God.
 
Here at the Center for Urban Renewal and Development, we never forget that God is always in control. The Chairman of our Board, Pastor Marc Little, will not allow it.
 
Pastor Little is a man of God and has seen the power of prayer firsthand, so he recently went to the White house to pray over President Trump during this national crisis. Center for Urban Renewal and EducationPlease, watch Pastor Little pray over our nation’s President, and please help us continue our important work.
 
We knew that the media would mock us for this. As Christians, we are used to being laughed at by the liberal media. What we did not expect, was for CNN to gleefully call Pastor Little an “Uncle Tom.”
 
This is what happens when Black America refuses to believe the lies Democrats have been telling us for generations: you cannot survive without the government protecting you. This lie has destroyed the Black family and made generations of Americans dependent on welfare.
 
CURE was started to push back on this false narrative and rebuild the Black Community. As you can tell, this has made the media a little nervous.
 
Pastor Little has forgiven them for this disgusting and racist insult, but I have not.

US Hospitals Getting Paid More to Label Cause of Death as ‘Coronavirus’

First published on April 15, 2020

Senator Scott Jensen represents Minnesota. He’s also a doctor. He appeared on Fox News with Laura Ingram where he revealed a very disturbing piece of information.
Dr. Scott Jensen says the American Medical Association is now “encouraging” doctors to overcount coronavirus deaths across the country.
Jensen received a  7-page document that showed him how to fill out a death certificate as a “COVID-19 diagnosis” even when there isn’t a lab test confirming the diagnosis.
“Right now Medicare is determining that if you have a COVID-19 admission to the hospital you get $13,000. If that COVID-19 patient goes on a ventilator you get $39,000, three times as much. Nobody can tell me after 35 years in the world of medicine that sometimes those kinds of things impact on what we do.”

From Behind Bars - Ending Mass Incarceration - Conclusion

Learning From Behind Bars In The Age Of Coronavirus
Image from Forbes Magazine

Updated 4/07/24

By Michael Liebowitz

A Connecticut prisoner for some 25 years, Liebowitz was formerly housed at Osborn Correctional Institution in Somers, CT.  He has been a free man since November 2022.
Sadly, Melissa Palmeri passed away on Sunday, March 24th.  She was only 44 yrs. old.  Her obituary can be read, here.  Please consider making a ten-dollar donation to help Melissa's son, Vinny and Michael.  Donate here.
Along with Brett McCall, Liebowitz is also co-author of "Down the Rabbit Hole: How the Culture of Corrections Encourages Crime", available at Amazon.  Dr. Stanton E. Samenow, PhD reviewed the work in a 3/12/21 article in Psychology Today magazine.  In his review he writes, "I have found that Liebowitz and McCall are keen observers with a positive objective - to help others become more effective in helping people like themselves to change and become responsible human beings.  This book is definitely worth a read."  Michael's second book, "View from a Cage" is now in print.
Liebowitz is also a regular guest with Todd Feinburg on WTIC AM 1080.  Podcasts of Todd's segments with Liebowitz can be heard, here.

The previous five segment to this series are titled:
· End the War on Drugs
· Widespread Implementation of Functional Family Therapy (FFT) and Multisystemic Therapy (MST); Hold Juveniles Accountable
· Widespread Implementation of Evidence-Based Programs
· Widespread Implementation of Core Correctional Practices
· Remunerate Correctional Officials and Employees Based on Results, i.e., Reduced Recidivism


Privately Fund a Significant Portion of Reform Programs

I would like to see the bulk of the suggested offender reform programs – including education – privately financed. This could be done through charity, social impact bonds, or some combination of the two. Privately funded programs will likely be cheaper, more effective and would avoid the incessant debates about whether tax dollars should be spent in this manner.

The economist David Friedman asserted that anything done by government could be done in the private sector for half the cost. While I don’t know if anyone has ever tested this hypothesis, or if the ratio is exact, I do believe the principle is accurate. This is because when the government funds a project, those in charge of how the money gets spent know that the government can always get more via taxes. Thus, they have little incentive to monitor how much they’re spending, or how they could spend less and achieve the same result. On the other hand, private donors are likely to take a great interest in how efficiently their money is being spent. And given that they aren’t being forced to provide it, they are likely to stop doing so if it isn’t being spent wisely. Importantly, those making spending decisions know this, and are therefore incentivized to make as efficient use of the funds as they can.

Privately funded programs are likely to be more effective than if funded by the government for the same reason they’d be cheaper. Namely, if the programs don’t achieve the results desired by the donors, those doors will likely discontinue funding them. In other words, privately funded programs are likely to be more effective because the financial managers of private programs will be held accountable by those paying their salaries.

Finally, with taxpayers not being compelled to pay for the programs, they’re unlikely to be concerned with how many are being provided. They will have little incentive to protest, petition their representatives, or otherwise complain. And absent pressure from their constituents, such representatives would have little reason to oppose the programs.
