Plane that flew over DC crashed almost straight down at high speed, report says
June 20, 2023
An unresponsive business jet that flew off course over the nation’s capital plunged in a “near-vertical descent” into a Virginia mountain at a “high velocity” before bursting into flames, according to a federal report released Wednesday. The preliminary findings shed little light on what might have caused the June 4 crash, which killed four people. However, outside observers and the plane’s owner have theorized that a lack of oxygen may have led to the crash. Federal investigators found no cockpit voice recorder or flight data recorder at the crash site, the National Transportation Safety Board report said. The plane took an erratic flight path — turning around over New York’s Long Island to fly directly over Washington, DC, some of the most heavily restricted airspace in the nation. That alarmed the U.S. military and prompted the Pentagon to scramble six F-16 fighter jets to intercept, causing a loud sonic boom over the region. Pilots of the fighter jets reported that the small plane’s pilot appeared slumped over. The plane’s cockpit was destroyed by the crash’s impact, while the wreckage was fragmented and scattered around a main crater, the NTSB said. Maintenance inspection records indicated that the plane was equipped with a cockpit voice recorder, the report stated, although the aircraft was not required to have a flight data recorder, which monitors things like altitude, airspeed and heading. Air traffic controllers were initially in normal communication with the pilot. He was cleared for higher and higher altitudes as the plane began its ascent from Elizabethton, Tennessee. But after about 15 minutes, the pilot stopped responding, the NTSB report stated.

41-year-old model ends life due to vaxx injuries
June 26, 2023
Los Angeles, CA – Katerina Pavelek, a Slovakian model and Hollywood actress, ended her life in a Swiss clinic on June 1, 2023 at the age of 41. “The booster jab I received over a year ago destroyed my health, my body, and my life completely.” Kat would probably have received her COVID-19 mRNA vaccine booster shot in Los Angeles either in Dec. 2021 or early 2022. Kat was an actress, so she also had to follow the vaccine requirements stipulated by the entertainment industry and unions if she wanted to be able to work. But then Kat became very sick. This past weekend, Kat’s friends – many of them in entertainment – held a picnic and a last farewell for their actress friend on a beach in Malibu. In late 2021, Kat worked on the Brad Pitt and Margot Robbie movie “Babylon” – was she required to be COVID-19 vaccinated to have a role in the movie? Kat was an avid traveler, traveling to Hawaii in June/July 2021 and Greece in August 2021. [Global Research]

Teresa Taylor, an early drummer for the indie rock band Butthole Surfers who had a small but memorable role in the 1990 film Slacker as a “pusher” trying to sell an unusual Madonna souvenir, died Sunday of lung disease, her former bandmates announced. She was 60. Taylor, who sometimes used the stage name Teresa Nervosa, “passed away peacefully this weekend after a long battle with lung disease,” the Butthole Surfers tweeted today. “She will live in our hearts forever. RIP, dear friend.” Aside from her drumming career, Taylor is remembered for an attention-getting performance in Richard Linklater’s breakthrough film Slacker, portraying a character credited as Pap Smear Pusher who tries to sell a jar containing what she claims is a pap smear belonging to Madonna. Taylor’s character, dressed in a black T-shirt, sunglasses and ball cap, was featured on the movie’s poster and home video packaging. “I don’t get recognized,” she said in 2006. “Nobody recognizes my face, but when I’m in public, and I’m going off on something, people will be, ‘Are you the chick from Slacker?’ But it’s always because I’m ranting and raving about something.”

Westminster’s “vaccination” mandate for faculty:
Perhaps our best defenses against COVID-19, consistent with our educational promises, are vaccinations and masking. Our deadline for compliance with our vaccination mandate is October 15, but we’ve asked everyone to complete attestation forms as soon as possible and no later than next week. As of yesterday, 69% of our employees have already responded, with a 98% vaccination rate. Among students, 45% have responded so far, with a 95% vaccination rate. Combined, thus far, half of our total community remembers have completed our attestation forms, with a 96% rate of vaccination. This is great progress and should give us some measure of confidence as we continue with in-person activities and events.
Of course, vaccine hesitancy continues, and some people have good reasons for remaining unvaccinated. The attestation surveys provide directions for people seeking medical exemptions, disability accommodations, and religious accommodations, and there should be no judgment of individuals who pursue those options. People who remain unvaccinated, without seeking or receiving an exemption or accommodation, should expect to be contacted by the appropriate college office or supervisor regarding the next steps.

Westhampton Beach, NY — The Westhampton Beach community was rocked by an unthinkable loss recently that left a little girl, 10, an orphan. A GoFundMe, "Help Keely With Her Immediate Needs and Future," was created by Alice Eisenberg. “On Tuesday, June 13, our community was shaken by the sudden loss of Lauren Jill (LJ) Delman Hanechak, who passed away unexpectedly from acute myeloid leukemia (AML) only four days after she had been diagnosed," Eisenberg wrote. LJ's husband, Rob, died only three years ago in March 2020. "Keely, their beloved 10-year-old daughter, is now suddenly left without her parents," she said. "LJ had named me, Alice, as Keely’s legal guardian if she were to die — and I will make sure that Keely is always cared for and knows how much she is loved."

Kids, ‘drugs, sex toys,’ dead man in South Boston apartment: ‘Sickening’
June 20, 2023
Four children living in squalid conditions while being hidden from first responders were found in an apartment filled with “alcohol, drugs, sex toys” and a dead man, according to an incident report and outraged officials. “This is sickening,” said At-Large City Councilor Michael Flaherty. “I was informed by people at the scene that there were drugs, alcohol, sex toys all around the apartment as well as a dead body on the floor.” That fire department report, obtained by the Herald and confirmed by police response, states that a BFD crew was sent to Old Colony Avenue Saturday morning for a call that a man had gone into cardiac arrest and required medical attention. That address is the Mary Ellen McCormack Housing complex run by the city. However, according to the incident report, firefighters found more than just a routine medical emergency. “The apartment was in extremely unsanitary conditions. Approximately 6 adults, who appeared to be males, were seen in the apartment,” they wrote, saying they subsequently found “four children in the back bedroom being hidden by an adult male from first responders.” According to the incident report the children ranged from ages 5 to 10. “All of the adult parties were being uncooperative and did not provide helpful information. All adults present denied having children inside the apartment,” they wrote. The fire crews, according to the incident report, performed CPR on the person in cardiac arrest, who apparently died. The Boston Police Department is investigating. A fire department spokesman confirmed a call came in for that address.

One person is dead after what appears to have been a medical incident on Highway 89 near Conoco and Matador Coffee on Monday morning. Traffic slowed on the highway when Coconino County [AZ] Sheriff’s Deputies and other first responders blocked the right-most lane of traffic heading north toward Flagstaff. According to Coconino County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO) spokesperson Jon Paxton, a woman had experienced what investigators believe was a medical emergency while behind the wheel of her car. According to CCSO, passers-by found her car rolling off the roadway with the driver slumped over the steering wheel.

Except for 'all y'all' here, no one in my life even sees
the genocide, or believes me when I tell them we are
in a massive die off post jab.
For the most part, they are people who do not use
any internet, just the usual radio and tv. I cannot
direct them to this Substack. I suppose they
may die not knowing 'what hath killed them'
as so many have already. What an effing trip
this is. Best to all in the TRUTH CLUB.
So terribly sad and tragic. It feels like this is accelerating. 💔
