  2. New Zealand Authorities Legally "Kidnap" A Child New Zealand authorities have lawfully ‘kidnapped’ a child from his parents to forcibly perform medical treatment on him when there was an equally valid treatment available that the parents supported. Baby William required a blood transfusion which the parents agreed to as long as the blood was from unvaccinated donors. The parents had found suitable donors for the request yet NZ health authorities declined it. The matter ended up in the courts which ruled in favor of the authorities. The judge said the parents would remain the guardians of the child but all health matters would now be determined by the State. The Mother was not allowed to hold Will all night. She was not allowed to cuddle him. She was also not allowed to sleep all night, as she was told that if she did any of this, she would be forcibly removed back to the ward, from the pre-op room, and would not see the baby before the operation. The traumatic way in which this situation has been treated does not make sense. This video is confronting but it is the reality of what medical tyranny means.
  3. Ted L. Reitz, age 84 of DuBois, PA died Thursday, December 8, 2022 at Christ The King Manor. Born on November 14, 1938 in Brookville, PA, he was the son of the late Paul G. and Dorothy F. (Feldman) Reitz. On December 30, 1971 he married his wife of 50 years, Addie L. (Hayman) Reitz. She survives. Along with his wife, Ted is survived by his children; Tracie Young and her husband Bill of Charlotte, SC, Ginger Reed and her husband Brian of Creekside, PA, Vickie Watters and her husband Tom of Indiana, PA, Michael Reitz and Ann Reitz Krieger both of League City, TX, nine grandchildren, thirteen great grandchildren and one sister; Nancy Micks and her husband John of DuBois, PA Ted was born into a family of hard workers. His parents instilled a tremendous work ethic in him that carried him throughout his life. Over his 42-year career, he successfully worked in many facets of the grocery business founded by his family, Riverside Markets. Though he ended his career as an executive with Penn Traffic, his favorite job was driving trucks. Ted Reitz was an exemplary man. His personal accomplishments were many, but it was his strength of character, integrity, work ethic, willingness to help others, spirited personality, and twinkle in his eye that are the attributes for which he will surely be remembered. Ted was a man of few words, letting his actions speak for him. He was truly a decent human being, and will be dearly missed. He loved golf, cards, spending time with friends and family, business, travel, keeping an immaculate lawn, and helping others. He was a proud veteran of the United States Marine Corps, and involved in many aspects of the community.

  8. Rebloom Your Amaryllis Bulb Cheryl J Shenkle PSU Jefferson County Master Gardener December 2022 Getting an Amaryllis to re-bloom is dependent on the size of the bulb, how well it was fed the summer before, and if it experienced sufficient dormancy. It must also be repotted in fresh potting soil then given about 3-4 weeks at room temperature to send up the scapes which are the flowering stalks. Waxed Amaryllis are not intended to live beyond the current year because the rooting Basal Plate has been cut off before being waxed. The flower will still open but like a rose in a vase, there is no way for the bulb to grow roots again. A box store Amaryllis is fed just enough to bloom through the current season, so even with good follow up care, it may take a year or more to return the bulb to blooming weight again. In order for a purchased Amaryllis bulb to bloom the following year, once it is done blooming at Christmas, remove the faded flowers immediately at about ½ inch from the bulb. Place plant into a slightly larger pot with large drainage holes and treat like a tropical plant in a bright window with partial sun. Feed lightly and keep watered. Once the outside temperatures are about 50 degrees with no frost at night, it’s time to send it outdoors for the summer to build up the newly developing flower cells for the next winter blooms. It will need a sunny location with a little shelter from the hot afternoon sun. You can also set the entire plant with the pot into a garden bed where it will be fed and watered. It must eat like a pig all growing season. Use a quality liquid 10-10-10 fertilizer at half strength when watering from March till flowering begins or slow release 2-3 times a growing season. Once the temperatures start to drop, before a frost, bring the plant into a cool brightly lit window. It will need 8 weeks of rest in order to force the bloom, then 3-4 weeks to actually bloom. If you have followed all the care instructions and the bulb is as well fed as possible, in completely dry soil and sitting in a cold dark location, then after growing time it will be ready to bloom again. To force dormancy, take the entire plant with the root ball out of the pot and onto a newspaper. It should dry out fairly quickly. Once you are sure that the soil and bulb are completely dry, then place plant back into the pot and set in a cold dark closet, cool garage or dry basement that stays between 40-50 degrees for 8 weeks. Do not water it! This will put the bulb to sleep and preserve the life inside of the bulb without danger of rot from moisture. Do not store in a refrigerator where there are apples. Once rested properly, replant the bulb in fresh planting medium and return to a low 70s location in bright but not direct sun which could burn the new leaves. Water once but not again till you see leaves. It will begin producing flower stems which should bloom in approximately 3-4 weeks. After blooming, return to treating it like a Tropical plant. Tropical Plants with No dormancy required! My Amaryllis lovelies are planted in a large deep window box that goes out into my deck garden all summer and back into the house to the front window for the winter. Right now in early December they are developing stems and buds. Once they are done flowering, I reduce watering slightly till about March. They can remain in that container for years as long as they are not too crowded and are fed and watered properly. In a cold commercial greenhouse near me, the owner had about 50 bulbs in a very large garden pot. They automatically bloomed for years and people came from all over to photograph it. Remember that in the tropics, Amaryllis grow outdoors all year unbothered and successfully figure out when to bloom themselves with just a cool spell in which to rest. Although the stores assume you will have given up, tossed your Amaryllis and will buy another one the next December, you won’t have to because you already have a healthy bulb to spoil and fatten up all summer.

  9. Yes, It's stuff we already knew they were doing. Now we need to know what files James Baker deleted or tried to delete in round 1 of the Twitter Files. We're they FBI related?? We're waiting ..... THE TWITTER FILES PART TWO TWITTER’S SECRET BLACKLISTS. 1. A new #TwitterFiles investigation reveals that teams of Twitter employees build blacklists, prevent disfavored tweets from trending, and actively limit the visibility of entire accounts or even trending topics—all in secret, without informing users. 2. Twitter once had a mission “to give everyone the power to create and share ideas and information instantly, without barriers.” Along the way, barriers nevertheless were erected. 3. Take, for example, Stanford’s Dr. Jay Bhattacharya (@DrJBhattacharya) who argued that Covid lockdowns would harm children. Twitter secretly placed him on a “Trends Blacklist,” which prevented his tweets from trending. 4. Or consider the popular right-wing talk show host, Dan Bongino (@dbongino), who at one point was slapped with a “Search Blacklist.” 5. Twitter set the account of conservative activist Charlie Kirk (@charliekirk11) to “Do Not Amplify.” 6. Twitter denied that it does such things. In 2018, Twitter's Vijaya Gadde (then Head of Legal Policy and Trust) and Kayvon Beykpour (Head of Product) said: “We do not shadow ban.” They added: “And we certainly don’t shadow ban based on political viewpoints or ideology.” 7. What many people call “shadow banning,” Twitter executives and employees call “Visibility Filtering” or “VF.” Multiple high-level sources confirmed its meaning. 8. “Think about visibility filtering as being a way for us to suppress what people see to different levels. It’s a very powerful tool,” one senior Twitter employee told us. 9. “VF” refers to Twitter’s control over user visibility. It used VF to block searches of individual users; to limit the scope of a particular tweet’s discoverability; to block select users’ posts from ever appearing on the “trending” page; and from inclusion in hashtag searches. 10. All without users’ knowledge. 11. “We control visibility quite a bit. And we control the amplification of your content quite a bit. And normal people do not know how much we do,” one Twitter engineer told us. Two additional Twitter employees confirmed. 12. The group that decided whether to limit the reach of certain users was the Strategic Response Team - Global Escalation Team, or SRT-GET. It often handled up to 200 "cases" a day. 13. But there existed a level beyond official ticketing, beyond the rank-and-file moderators following the company’s policy on paper. That is the “Site Integrity Policy, Policy Escalation Support,” known as “SIP-PES.” 14. This secret group included Head of Legal, Policy, and Trust (Vijaya Gadde), the Global Head of Trust & Safety (Yoel Roth), subsequent CEOs Jack Dorsey and Parag Agrawal, and others. 15. This is where the biggest, most politically sensitive decisions got made. “Think high follower account, controversial,” another Twitter employee told us. For these “there would be no ticket or anything.” 16. One of the accounts that rose to this level of scrutiny was @libsoftiktok—an account that was on the “Trends Blacklist” and was designated as “Do Not Take Action on User Without Consulting With SIP-PES.” 17. The account—which Chaya Raichik began in November 2020 and now boasts over 1.4 million followers—was subjected to six suspensions in 2022 alone, Raichik says. Each time, Raichik was blocked from posting for as long as a week. 18. Twitter repeatedly informed Raichik that she had been suspended for violating Twitter’s policy against “hateful conduct.” 19. But in an internal SIP-PES memo from October 2022, after her seventh suspension, the committee acknowledged that “LTT has not directly engaged in behavior violative of the Hateful Conduct policy." See here: 20. The committee justified her suspensions internally by claiming her posts encouraged online harassment of “hospitals and medical providers” by insinuating “that gender-affirming healthcare is equivalent to child abuse or grooming.” 21. Compare this to what happened when Raichik herself was doxxed on November 21, 2022. A photo of her home with her address was posted in a tweet that has garnered more than 10,000 likes. 22. When Raichik told Twitter that her address had been disseminated she says Twitter Support responded with this message: "We reviewed the reported content, and didn't find it to be in violation of the Twitter rules." No action was taken. The doxxing tweet is still up. 23. In internal Slack messages, Twitter employees spoke of using technicalities to restrict the visibility of tweets and subjects. Here’s Yoel Roth, Twitter’s then Global Head of Trust & Safety, in a direct message to a colleague in early 2021: 24. Six days later, in a direct message with an employee on the Health, Misinformation, Privacy, and Identity research team, Roth requested more research to support expanding “non-removal policy interventions like disabling engagements and deamplification/visibility filtering.” 25. Roth wrote: “The hypothesis underlying much of what we’ve implemented is that if exposure to, e.g., misinformation directly causes harm, we should use remediations that reduce exposure, and limiting the spread/virality of content is a good way to do that.” 26. He added: “We got Jack on board with implementing this for civic integrity in the near term, but we’re going to need to make a more robust case to get this into our repertoire of policy remediations – especially for other policy domains.” 27. There is more to come on this story, which was reported by @AbigailShrier @ShellenbergerMD @NellieBowles @IsaacGrafstein and the team The Free Press @TheFP. Keep up with this unfolding story here and at our brand new website: thefp.com. 28. The authors have broad and expanding access to Twitter’s files. The only condition we agreed to was that the material would first be published on Twitter. 29. We're just getting started on our reporting. Documents cannot tell the whole story here. A big thank you to everyone who has spoken to us so far. If you are a current or former Twitter employee, we'd love to hear from you. Please write to: tips@thefp.com 30.
