Michael
Garrett’s death has been classified as “accidental,” due to
cardiovascular disease with a contributing factor of an overdose of
synthetic marijuana.
A gangster rapper convicted of murder and facing a life term without
the possibility of parole has died of a drug overdose at a high-security
federal prison in Brooklyn, the Daily News has learned.
Michael Garrett, 40, the co-leader of a Brooklyn gang called Together
Forever Mafia who also doubled as a hip-hop impresario, died at the
Metropolitan Detention Center on Feb. 28.
A spokeswoman for the city medical examiner said Garrett’s death has
been classified as “accidental,” due to cardiovascular disease with a
contributing factor of an overdose of synthetic marijuana.
“I’m incredulous,” said Garrett’s former lawyer James Lisa after the Daily News informed him Friday of the autopsy results. Former Harlem drug dealer celebrates Columbia graduation
“He was in federal custody. That’s not like Rikers Island or a county facility.”
The U.S. Bureau of Prisons did not respond to questions about Garrett’s
death or whether there is an investigation of how the drugs were
smuggled inside the jail.
Cherie Nolan, a prison consultant, said it is unusual for an inmate in a
federal jail to die of an illegal drug overdose, especially at a
high-security facility like the Brooklyn lockup, where international
terrorists are held, and where drug lord Joaquin (El Chapo) Guzman will
soon reside after he is extradited from Mexico.

“The feds usually do a good job of keeping contraband out,” Nolan said.
“The security in place for people going into and out of facilities, and
the performance of staff, has greatly improved.”
Last spring, before his trial in Brooklyn Federal Court, Garrett had
tested positive for marijuana shortly after receiving a visit from his
girlfriend, according to court papers. She was removed from his
visitor’s list for a period of time. Garrett and co-defendant Paul
Rivera were both convicted of racketeering, murder, sex trafficking of
underage prostitutes and drug trafficking.
Prosecutors said the TF Mafia music operation, based in a tattoo parlor in Brownsville, was a front for illegal activities.

Since Garrett hadn’t been sentenced yet, Federal Judge Kiyo Matsumoto
vacated his conviction posthumously and the restitution he had to pay
his victims.
The government, in turn, removed the lien on a $55,000 settlement
Garrett had received from a 2011 lawsuit against the city alleging he
was falsely arrested, and the money will go to the dead man’s estate.
His death is wholly due to the G.H.W. Bush-orchestrated War On Drugs. Oh, that's not correct; wasn't this championed by Nancy Reagan, right? "Just say NO?"
Nancy may have been the frontsman, but trust me, it was Poppy's black ops teams reaping the rewards of this venture.
Always follow the money...99% of crimes can be solved by simply determining WHO BENEFITS.
Who benefits here? The ones who create/grow said drugs. The opium, once grown in Mena, Arkansas (the op responsible for the taking of the lives of children Don Henry and Kevin Ives), had to be moved to Afghanistan when the murders of those boys became too hot. That opium becomes heroin, which is processed and shipped back to the various gangs and others who then add their special formulae of cut and packaging, to be distributed to waiting and hungry clients.
It's good business sense - buy low, sell high, keep a monopoly on the market. If only it didn't waste so many lives. It could be made safe, as there are now plans to have safe houses when users can safely feed the monkey...maybe wean it off and get back to a regular diet.
But safety isn't their goal - junkies are the goal.
Well, that's all well and good, but what does synthetic marijuana have to do with heroin?
Incidentally, not much at all...but do you think anyone in their right mind would even consider smoking some crap made up who bloody knows where, rather than something that grows from the ground and has such amazing medicinal qualities that it was a prime ingredient for pain relief? This is before the NSAIDs became prevalent.
It also is a proven cure for cancer. There are government patents that attest to that.
Let's see...the real deal; or some faux garbage?
This is my similar argument for real food versus FrankenFood.
The bastards want us eating their FrankenCrap, devoid of nutritional value and ultimately dangerous to our digestive systems and who knows what bloody else, while they have their pick of wholesome, tasty, REAL FOOD. I told you the employees at Monsanto don't even ingest their own creations!
Consider the opposite situation, where Henry Ford paid his employees a salary that allowed them to purchase the cars they produced; as I've stated before, the best advertising one could get...and he had already paid for it!
That's what I call money smarts. He didn't have to maneuver or leverage; he just paid his employees a fair wage, and they worked without complaint. The disparities between employee salaries and managerial compensation have grown far too wide.
The fight for the $15 minimum wage has gone off the rails, and I posit that it's because they went with fast food workers.
Why not focus upon home health aides? If anyone deserves fairer compensation, I dare say that someone who cares for others who fit the bill far better than some barely competent button pusher who may be spitting on your food, not for any good reason, but just because.
Just like that asshat who slashed a woman in her wheelchair with a razor.
Just...BECAUSE.
It's possible that this shitlord was ingesting what's becoming known as lean, a concoction made by dropping Skittles into Mountain Dew.
If that sounds, familiar, it's because it's supposed to...but I digress.

Orlando police ID man who killed 'Voice' singer Christina Grimmie
By Boris Sanchez, Ralph Ellis, Joe Sutton and Azadeh Ansari, CNN
Updated 1:52 AM ET, Sun June 12, 2016
Police identify killer as Kevin James Loibl, 27
Singer Christina Grimmie shot dead as she was signing autographs
Orlando, Florida (CNN)Florida authorities answered one of the major questions in the shooting death of Christina Grimmie, the 22-year-old singer who made her name on NBC's "The Voice."
The man who killed her was Kevin James Loibl, 27, of St. Petersburg, Florida, according to Orlando police.
But they didn't give any background on Loibl or offer a possible motive.
A handwritten note is posted on Kevin James Loibl's family home in St. Petersburg, Florida.
CNN
affiliate WFTS photographed a handwritten note posted on Loibl's family
home. It reads, "Deepest sorrow for lost (sic) to the family, friends
and fans of the very talented, loving Christina Grimmie. No other
comments."
Grimmie was signing
autographs late Friday after a show at The Plaza Live theater when a man
approached and opened fire, police spokeswoman Wanda Miglio said.
She was rushed to a hospital, where she died.
I got the background - he was her ex.
Were her bodyguards getting serviced in the storeroom?!? Bloody hell.
I have an ex...she has nothing whatsoever to fear from me.
It was a win-win for the boys in Black Helicopters...until Gary Webb ruined it all by getting Freeway Ricky Ross to give up the goods.
Two shots to the back of the head.
What else?
This is of a personal nature...which is why it was posted to Facebook as a status:
"I was going to post regarding the shenanigans of calling a version of
HFCS "fructose", and how it affect the brain (negatively!), but my body
has decided it wants to identify as a jar of YooHoo."
Okay...but that still doesn't justify such a uncaring title, does it?
Actually, it's my clumsy segue into that actual item. Dr. Ted Broer mentioned this on his HealthMasters podcast (MP3), and I've been curious as to just how that could occur just as a happenstance of HFCS production.
Ha ha ha ha ha! That was a JOKE!!!
Read this study from UCLA (the first line is GOLD):
Eating more omega-3 fatty acids can offset damage, researchers say
Elaine Schmidt |
[Correction: Paragraph 5 of
this release was changed from an earlier version to reflect that the
study focused on fructose generally, not specifically on high-fructose
corn syrup; that high-fructose corn syrup is not necessarily "six times
sweeter" than cane sugar; and that Americans consume approximately 35
pounds of high-fructose corn syrup per capita annually, not "more than
40 pounds." The researcher's quote in Paragraph 6 has also been changed
slightly to avoid the implication that the study focused solely on
high-fructose corn syrup.]
Attention, college
students cramming between midterms and finals: Binging on soda and
sweets for as little as six weeks may make you stupid.
A
new UCLA rat study is the first to show how a diet steadily high in
fructose slows the brain, hampering memory and learning — and how
omega-3 fatty acids can counteract the disruption. The peer-reviewed
Journal of Physiology publishes the findings in its May 15 edition.
"Our
findings illustrate that what you eat affects how you think," said
Fernando Gomez-Pinilla, a professor of neurosurgery at the David Geffen
School of Medicine at UCLA and a professor of integrative biology and
physiology in the UCLA College of Letters and Science. "Eating a
high-fructose diet over the long term alters your brain's ability to
learn and remember information. But adding omega-3 fatty acids to your
meals can help minimize the damage."
While earlier
research has revealed how fructose harms the body through its role in
diabetes, obesity and fatty liver, this study is the first to uncover
how the sweetener influences the brain.
Sources
of fructose in the Western diet include cane sugar (sucrose) and
high-fructose corn syrup, an inexpensive liquid sweetener. The syrup is
widely added to processed foods, including soft drinks, condiments,
applesauce and baby food. The average American consumes roughly 47
pounds of cane sugar and 35 pounds of high-fructose corn syrup per
year, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
"We're less
concerned about naturally occurring fructose in fruits, which also
contain important antioxidants," explained Gomez-Pinilla, who is also a
member of UCLA's Brain Research Institute and Brain Injury Research
Center. "We're more concerned about the fructose in high-fructose corn
syrup, which is added to manufactured food products as a sweetener and
preservative."
Gomez-Pinilla and study co-author
Rahul Agrawal, a UCLA visiting postdoctoral fellow from India, studied
two groups of rats that each consumed a fructose solution as drinking
water for six weeks. The second group also received omega-3 fatty acids
in the form of flaxseed oil and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), which
protects against damage to the synapses — the chemical connections
between brain cells that enable memory and learning.
"DHA
is essential for synaptic function — brain cells' ability to transmit
signals to one another," Gomez-Pinilla said. "This is the mechanism that
makes learning and memory possible. Our bodies can't produce enough
DHA, so it must be supplemented through our diet."
The
animals were fed standard rat chow and trained on a maze twice daily
for five days before starting the experimental diet. The UCLA team
tested how well the rats were able to navigate the maze, which contained
numerous holes but only one exit. The scientists placed visual
landmarks in the maze to help the rats learn and remember the way.
Six weeks later, the researchers tested the rats' ability to recall the route and escape the maze. What they saw surprised them.
"The
second group of rats navigated the maze much faster than the rats that
did not receive omega-3 fatty acids," Gomez-Pinilla said. "The
DHA-deprived animals were slower, and their brains showed a decline in
synaptic activity. Their brain cells had trouble signaling each other,
disrupting the rats' ability to think clearly and recall the route
they'd learned six weeks earlier."
The
DHA-deprived rats also developed signs of resistance to insulin, a
hormone that controls blood sugar and regulates synaptic function in the
brain. A closer look at the rats' brain tissue suggested that insulin
had lost much of its power to influence the brain cells.
"Because
insulin can penetrate the blood–brain barrier, the hormone may signal
neurons to trigger reactions that disrupt learning and cause memory
loss," Gomez-Pinilla said.
He suspects that
fructose is the culprit behind the DHA-deficient rats' brain
dysfunction. Eating too much fructose could block insulin's ability to
regulate how cells use and store sugar for the energy required for
processing thoughts and emotions.
"Insulin is
important in the body for controlling blood sugar, but it may play a
different role in the brain, where insulin appears to disturb memory and
learning," he said. "Our study shows that a high-fructose diet harms
the brain as well as the body. This is something new."
Gomez-Pinilla,
a native of Chile and an exercise enthusiast who practices what he
preaches, advises people to keep fructose intake to a minimum and swap
sugary desserts for fresh berries and Greek yogurt, which he keeps
within arm's reach in a small refrigerator in his office. An occasional
bar of dark chocolate that hasn't been processed with a lot of extra
sweetener is fine too, he said.
Still planning to
throw caution to the wind and indulge in a hot-fudge sundae? Then also
eat foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids, like salmon, walnuts and
flaxseeds, or take a daily DHA capsule. Gomez-Pinilla recommends one
gram of DHA per day.
"Our findings suggest that
consuming DHA regularly protects the brain against fructose's harmful
effects," said Gomez-Pinilla. "It's like saving money in the bank. You
want to build a reserve for your brain to tap when it requires extra
fuel to fight off future diseases."
The UCLA
study was funded by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and
Stroke. Gomez-Pinilla's lab will next examine the role of diet in
recovery from brain trauma.

The Scorpion And The Frog - The Ongoing Saga Of Wall Street
I'm certain that you've all heard this story...but do you really know it?
A
scorpion and a frog meet on the bank of a stream and the scorpion asks
the frog to carry him across on its back because the scorpion cannot
swim. The frog asks, "How do I know you won't sting me?" The scorpion
says, "Because if I do, I will die too."
The frog is satisfied,
and they set out, but in midstream, the scorpion stings the frog. The
frog feels the onset of paralysis and starts to sink, knowing they both
will drown, but has just enough time to gasp "Why?"
They
are caught, and time and time again, they insist that they can police
themselves, and so, laws that would absolutely prohibit the stealing of
our monies are never passed, and time and time again, the bastards STEAL
FROM US YET AGAIN.
How many frogs must die before we clamp down on that scorpion?
Got a chance to do some fun shopping at Fairway this weekend.
After polishing off our repast, I tinkered with a couple of PCs in my
humble abode.
Yes...I did say couple. I have one hunk of junk that
works best with a Linux installation...but I think it finallly bit the
big one. At any rate, I have a very low-tech PC that I use to listen to
tunes.
And, so it was on Sunday morning, that I came to select a two-hour show from INN World Report's Rule Of Law Radio - Free Speech Radio at Its Best:
Enjoy
the show...especially hour #2 - Webster Griffin Tarpley has some very
powerful insights to pass along...but what I wish to bring to your
attention is something the host, Tom Kiley, brought up in both hours of
the show.
He noted that while you and I are mandated to paying 8.75% tax on transactions, Wall Street isn't so mandated.
He stated that in just one year, Wall Street made financial transactions in the amount of 3.7 QUADRILLION DOLLARS.
Let's spell that out, shall we?
That number is, once again, $3,700,000,000,000,000,000.00 - an impressive sum, wouldn't you say?
So...what if we were to tax that at, say...1%?
I
believe the amount accrued would more than pay off the national debt,
plus over-fund every ailing program in America, and possibly cover
foreign expenditures.
So...remind me as to why Wall Street was bailed out again?

$600 trillion derivatives market = opportunity to reduce

A

pay off the debt without cuts in Social Security, Medicare or Medicaid.

When Charles Barron ran for Mayor in 2005, I
advised him to go for a stock transfer tax of one per cent. If memory
serves me right, I believe it was in place prior to the Koch
administration. I saw it as a way of opening up another revenue stream.
There are many ways to handle the national
debt. So why are we having such a problem doing it? Because every single
way involves taking money from the rich!!!! Oh My Dear God! Did I just
say anyone would take some money from the rich???
And.. there's the other alternative to cut Medicare along with any othe rprogram which currently even slightly helps the poor.
Obviously
the government realizes that none of the poor have the right of a voice
so that's exactly what they'll do! Cut any money going to them to shut
them up completely.

Last Thursday, I was saddened to discover that Abe George was no
longer running for the office of Brooklyn District Attorney. I heard
the news just as it was being announced over the airwaves that evening.
That sadness, however, was mitigated by the idea that now we are going
to bear witness to quite the event: Hynes vs. Thompson, with Abe
George in Thompson's corner.
Oh, bubbie...do you really want all
of the headache that's sure to come with this? Brooklyn D.A. was such a
waste of everyone's time - I wrote that I was going to review the last
three episodes, but you know what? I decided not to waste my beautiful mind on that hot garbage. Jabbar Collins' lawsuit should have you making Yoo-Hoo in your Depends right now, if you aren't doing so naturally.
The writer, Shmarya Rosenberg of FailedMessiah.com, begins the piece thus:
"[Michael].
Vecchione is a proud and confident fellow. As recently as 2006, he
declared in a court affidavit that “I and I alone determined the course
of our investigation.” He insisted, “I still have a clear recollection
of it.” Under questioning by Mr. Collins’s lawyer last month, Mr.
Vecchione suffered rapid memory loss. Asked why his signature appeared
to be forged on key documents, and asked about all manner of
irregularities, Mr. Vecchione took rhetorical refuge in a forest of
iterations of “I don’t recall.” He says these words over 300 times.…"
And need I mention the Sam Kellner lawsuit? I'd put my favorite Ben Stern quote here, but that would just be mean.
In other news...Mike's soda ban went into the gutter, as you all well know - Bloomberg's ban on big sodas is unconstitutional: appeals court I'm not gloating.
Really.
I
will, however, take issue with this quote: "Bloomberg also said that
more than 2,000 New Yorkers had died from diabetes since March 12, when
the law was struck down just one day before it was to take effect."
Oh, sure...and if we had just obeyed your utterly bankrupt edict, we could have saved those 2,000 wayward souls, right?
Your soda size ban would have rid them of their disease!
"You are all HEALED,
by the power of my soda size ban! Aren't you all glad I had a hundred
million bucks to blow on a re-election that I shouldn't have had in the
first place? I barely beat a sleepwalking Bill Thompson by four
percentage points! Imagine if I had some competition - I might have had
to send even more of those mailings to your domiciles!"
The homeless could have erected shelters out of that wasted card paper. I
wrote a piece regarding the fluorescent lamps that were to be mandated
by law to replace our incadescent bulbs that described the hazards
that these bulbs posed to you and I.
One of the 'incentives" to using said bulbs was that we were supposed to enjoy a hugely extended lifetime.
I'm here to tell you that this claim is UTTER BUPKIS.
I found the following information on a complaint forum:
Date of Manufacture: January, 2002 through April, 2003. The date code
is BHWWYY or BHWWY where WW signifies the number of the week that the
product was produced and YY or Y signifies the year in which the product
was manufactured. Therefore, date code BH0702 signifies that the lamp
was manufactured in the 7th week of 2002, or BH342 signifies that the
lamp was manufactured in the 34th week of 2002.
Hazard: The
lamps were manufactured with parts that UL did not investigate. These
parts can fail and melt a hole in the enclosure, posing a fire hazard
and exposing the user to hazardous voltage. These lamps are not
authorized to bear the UL Mark.
Identification: On the
product: The units are marked “Globe Mini-Spiral, 13 W, 120V, 60Hz,
225mA". The products also bear an unauthorized UL Mark with the UL file
number “E197131"
In the past, when I was living in
my bachelor pad, I had one of these bad boys FLAME OUT and drop onto my
carpet not four feet from my head.
The model in question was installed and lasted for less than one bloody month.
Explain that, please.
Think
about this, also...these bulbs aren't just supposed to be thrown into
the trash, like our light bulbs of old. They contain mercury, and
present further dangers to you and I.
I'm going to ask someone in the know as to just how exactly this bulb should be discarded.
I'll post that information once it's been received.
You
know...it's absolutely a possibility that we would, in November, have
welcomed Anthony Weiner in as Mayor of New York City, if he hadn't...you
know...shown everyone his.
Understand this, Anthony - you can

Maybe you should stay home and enjoy your family. Why don't you give Huma a big hug for being a trooper?
Tell her the big guy says she deserves it.
I hope that what I am about to reveal to you is not standard policy at Metro.
Metro
is one of the free daily newspapers offered to New Yorkers. The
publication is also offered in Boston and Philadelphia. I prefer their
publication because they actually made the effort to place staples in
the spine to bind the pages. As a free daily, you'll find copies of it
adorning subway platforms and seats...but at least, they're in one
piece.
So...let's get to the meat of my latest piece. My last two
postings have concerned the nature of high fructose corn syrup, or HFCS,
in our soft drinks. I have done my own independent research into the
properties of HFCS, and found them not to my liking.
I was very
happy to see my position vindicated by today's Metro; first, in the
polling: "Yesterday, we asked: is high fructose corn syrup an ingredient
you avoid when buying food and drinks?"; 65% indicated that they do
indeed avoid HFCS; 35% indicated they did not. The second instance was
found in today's letters to Metro:
"RE:
Corn Syrup: A Syrup By Any Other Name?: Corn Syrup is sugar the same
way that anthrax is organic. Aside from the obesity issue, there are a
host of impurities in the corn syrup refining process that are not
present in cane sugar. Similar to GMO producers who don't want their
products labeled, the Corn Refiners Association is deliberately
attempting to mislead a poorly informed public." - Kevin Kolack, Ph.D, Woodside
"High
fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is not the same as sugar (sucrose). Most
HFCS is 55 percent fructose and about 43 percent glucose, meaning it has
about 25 percent excess fructose over glucose. Fructose increases serum
triglycerides, increasing risk of heart disease and contributing to
obesity. It is also the most chemically reactive of common sugars and
forms formaldehyde, a carcinogen and promoter of asthma, among other
adverse health effects. Changing the name is like putting a sugar
coating on a toxic slurry." - Prof. Glen Lawrence, Yorkville
Thank you, gentlemen. It's nice to have independent verification of one's studies.
However, I wish to present to you something you have not seen on Metro's online article: my initial comment.
If you go to the page, you will not see any instance of my having posted said comment.

Imitation. The best compliment a writer can get
Here, I will discuss this very topic, in light of the very thing the article mentions having had happened, only with a different name, and a different formulation. HFCS By Any Other Name Is Still The Same
Now there is a version of HFCS that contains 90% fructose, and so, it is going by the name fructose. There has to be something that can be done in that regard; this is utterly false advertising.
