A 96-year-old woman is fighting back against the senior living housing project that wants to boot her out of the unit where she has lived for 22 years.

Years ago, she signed a deal with Pacific Grove Senior Living in Pacific Grove, California, that she could live in the complex until her death, according to KSBW.

Then came Aug. 16. The complex manager delivered what Jean Jacques called a “nasty letter,” telling her to pay what the complex decided she owed in three days or be evicted, according to Monterey Now.

“I’d be on the street. I wouldn’t even have a tent,” Jacques said. “I’d be in a bad way.”

The letter claimed she owed almost $110,000, according to KSBW.

“I’m not going. They’ll have to bury me because I have no place to go,” Jacques said. “They have all my money.”

Jacques made her deal with California-Nevada Methodist Homes, which sold the complex to Pacifica Senior Living in 2022.

Existing contracts were grandfathered in, but not the previous owner’s policies.

Bob Sadler, president of the Pacific Grove Senior Living’s Residents’ Association, said “lifetime care” contracts were unconditional under the former owner, even if they outlived the savings given the complex. He said the facility balanced what it lost on residents who outlived their savings with what it gained from those who died before using up their savings.

The eviction notice is under scrutiny from Elizabeth Campos, ombudsman project manager at the Alliance for Aging. She said the notice did not have required approvals and also failed to explain how it can be appealed.

“You do get angry knowing that it’s an elderly person,” Campos said. “Where is this person going to go?”

“She’s devoted all of her savings and money to this place,” Sadler said. “I don’t care what the legal ramifications are here. This is morally unthinkable.”

The complex has not responded to media inquiries, nor has Jacques heard from it since the eviction notice was delivered.

Patricia McGinnis, founder of California Advocates for Nursing Home Reform, told Monterey Now that the notice is not in compliance with the rules.

“To do that to a 96-year-old woman … they should be ashamed of themselves,” McGinnis said.

As her allies work to wage a legal fight on her behalf, Jacques said her plan is to defy the notice.

“They’ll have to drag me out of here screaming and hollering,” she said.

Many new events have taken place since the August 9th email shared in the most recent article on MSG (Ret) Jeremy Brown was written.

Per Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure Rule 43(b)2, it is Jeremy Brown’s right to elect to hold his misdemeanor hearing either absent his presence at all or by video (Zoom) if he did not wish to appear in person. 

The U.S. Government sought to oppose Brown’s right to elect not to appear in person, and the reasons which were given were largely focused upon the importance of an in-person assessment of Brown’s demeanor being necessary–despite Rule 43(b)2 expressly stating that for misdemeanor offenses punishable by one year or less, that a person has the right to choose not to even appear at all. 

The motion to grant Brown a trial by Zoom was denied by Judge Mehta, even though the September 4th trial is a bench trial and not a jury trial.

In a decision which flies in the face of judicial economy, Mehta ordered Brown to be moved from the Citrus County Detention Facility in Florida to the DC gulag, where Brown is now being held with the general population and NOT in protective custody with the other J6ers.

I have spoken with Brown and he has emphasized that the conditions where he is being held are “filthy and like a dungeon.” 

Why did Judge Mehta believe it was worth the use of government resources to bring whistleblower Jeremy Brown to DC so that he could stand trial and have his demeanor assessed only by Mehta himself for two misdemeanors?

The transcript of the hearing in which this decision was made by Mehta is not yet available, but it is reported that Mehta indicated that it was important for HIM to be able to assess Brown’s demeanor in person and that he wanted to see his face. 

(And, for what it’s worth, Ray Epps WAS allowed to attend his sentencing by a DC judge for his plea deal via Zoom.)

Why did Judge Mehta, prior to denying Brown’s right to elect not to appear in person per Rule 43(b)2, ALSO deny Brown’s motion to stay the misdemeanor trial while there is still a pending appeal of the verdict for which Brown is currently serving time, and for which the validity of the search warrant is called into question? That same search warrant in question is pertinent to the misdemeanor trial, and so the stay should have been granted until the conclusion of the appeal. 

Why has the U.S. Government insisted on bringing Brown to DC for a trial that they only weeks ago tried to make go away through the offer of a plea deal? Brown believes that he has been moved to DC unnecessarily with the intent to deliberately place him in harm’s way.

Why would the government go through the trouble, the time, and the expense of ensuring that Brown is in DC for a trial that they have already indicated that they would rather see go away?  

How is this (above) not an abuse of our justice system? Why is the U.S. government responding in this way to two MISDEMEANOR charges that they, only weeks ago, were offering this whistleblower a plea deal for? 

Former Green Beret Jeremy Brown was told that if he rejected the plea deal that the government would consider adding on ADDITIONAL charges. 

It now looks like they are gearing up to tack on charges of seditious conspiracy or some other felony charges which would ensure a continued process of punishment for Brown.

What do “hundreds of messages on various Oath Keepers Signal chats” have to do with proving beyond any reasonable doubt the alleged misdemeanors? Where is this coming from?

Why would the government, 3 1/2 years after January 6, and after Brown had already spent over 1000 days behind bars, offer a plea deal on a trespassing charge that came with an implied threat of additional charges if the deal was not accepted?

Despite having labeled Brown an unindicted co-conspirator alongside other Oath Keepers who were charged with felonies, Brown was only charged with two misdemeanors.

Yet, it is clear that the U.S. Government is seeking to abuse the judicial process with attempts to try Brown for charges other than the misdemeanors he is set to stand trial for on September 4th.

As Jeremy Brown often cites, “The process is the punishment.”

The U.S. Government appears to be using whatever they can find in their arsenal to keep Brown from speaking on the record at trial.

Why? Because, unlike other J6 political prisoners, Brown is also a whistleblower who released a recording of his conversation with the two FBI JTTF agents who tried to recruit him to be a confidential human source in the days leading up to January 6, 2021.

The recording is available for the public to hear, which has given the Government motive to target Brown for blowing the whistle.

The audio recording of the JTTF agents is evidence that points to the involvement of federal agents with regard to the events of January 6th, and to allow that evidence to be put on the record in a court of law would undermine the U.S. Government’s argument that those who have been and who continue to be charged, tortured, and punished at the hands of our own government are “insurrectionists.” 

The recording was not permitted to be heard by the jury when Brown was tried and sentenced for weapons charges resulting from the unconstitutional raid of his home, during which grenades were “found” in exactly the same way that the pipe bombs were “found” on January 6th.

They were “found” exactly where they were planted as part of a set up. Forensic analysis supports Brown’s claims that the grenades that were “found” are not his; but the DNA of two males IS on those grenades. WHOSE DNA IS IT? It isn’t Brown’s.

The U.S. Government doesn’t ask questions when they don’t want the answers made known.

That is why, despite Brown’s home raid having been labeled a domestic terrorism investigation, and despite Brown being labeled an unindicted co-conspirator in the Oath Keeper’s trial (to which they unsuccessfully tried to join his misdemeanor case), MSG (Ret.) Jeremy Brown has never ONCE been interrogated by a member of law enforcement. 

Jeremy Brown is NOT suicidal.  

Brown reportedly intends to represent himself pro se on September 4th before Judge Mehta.

As the government continues to try to make an argument that this retired 20-year decorated combat veteran is a domestic terrorist threat, it should be kept in mind that the FBI reported in mid-January 2021 that Brown was no threat, even noting that he did not ever enter the Capitol.  (See below)

Foot Locker announced on Wednesday its decision to relocate its corporate headquarters from New York City to St. Petersburg, Florida.

The sneaker retail giant cited the Empire State’s exorbitant tax burden and operational costs as primary factors in this strategic shift, according to the New York Post.

“To better support our strategic progress, increase team member collaboration, and maintain ongoing expense discipline, we made the decision to relocate our headquarters to St. Petersburg,” said CEO Mary Dillon in its second quarter financial results.

This relocation is just the latest in a series of high-profile exits from New York, as companies flee the state’s oppressive tax regime and increasingly hostile business environment. Foot Locker’s move is not just a blow to New York but also a significant win for Florida.

According to the press release:

In partnership with the City of St. Petersburg and Pinellas County, the St. Petersburg Area Economic Development Corporation (St. Pete EDC) welcomes today’s announcement that Fortune 500 company Foot Locker, Inc. has chosen St. Petersburg as its new home for its corporate headquarters. The global retailer will move from New York City to St. Petersburg in late 2025.

In an earnings call, Foot Locker, Inc. President & CEO Mary Dillon said of the move, “What this really does is build on what already is a very meaningful commercial and executive team presence in the St. Pete market. We have a large center of gravity there already[we] have a large concentration of folks there already, and we think it’s a great place for us to continue to grow and do business and continue to attract top talent. We will maintain a limited presence only in New York, but we will have a presence connecting us to sneaker culture, sports, fashion. We think this is going to continue to give us better opportunities, both for further collaboration across the business, and there’s some financial benefit over time as well.”

St. Petersburg Mayor Kenneth T. Welch shared, “Foot Locker’s move represents a significant corporate relocationand importantly, it’s another example of impactful and inclusive economic development in our city and the Tampa Bay region. On the heels of the generational Historic Gas Plant District project approval, St. Pete has now attracted a Fortune 500 company that will create 150+ more jobs and further diversify our workforce. Our partners who helped to secure Foot Locker share the City’s commitment to fostering a vibrant, diverse business environment.”

Foot Locker will be the third Fortune 500 headquarters based in St. Petersburg, and the fourth in Pinellas County, joining St. Petersburg’s Jabil and Raymond James, and Largo’s TD Synnex. The Tampa Bay metro area is second only to Miami in Fortune 500 headquarters in Florida. The company will be offered base and hiring incentives pending City Council approval.

“Foot Locker is so well-aligned with St. Pete,” says St. Pete EDC President & CEO Mike Swesey. “Foot Locker’s creative focus on their young, diverse customer base mirrors the creativity and diversity found here, and we’re a city where people sport sneakers both in the boardroom and by the bay, so we welcome our new sneakerhead neighbors.”

One of St. Pete’s attractions for business is its responsive government. Leaders from the City of St. Petersburg, Pinellas County, and the State of Florida are working together to welcome Foot Locker. Cynthia Johnson, Director of Pinellas County Economic Development, said, “One reason we are the ideal business climate is the collaboration among business and government at all levels. We saw this in the recruitment of ARK Invest and Dynasty Financial, who also relocated their headquarters from New York. We look forward to partnering with Foot Locker as they expand their presence in St. Petersburg with their headquarters relocation.”

Foot Locker’s move is expected to take place in late 2025. Foot Locker is working with JLL’s Location Economics Practice to identify the new headquarters site.

Burning Man 2024 is turning out to be exceptionally degenerate with an ‘orgy dome,’ ‘virgin sacrifice parties’ and ‘horny alien encounters.’

Burning Man is a yearly drug-infested music and art festival in Northern Nevada, in Black Rock City.

Tens of thousands of ‘Burners’ flocked to the Nevada desert this year to engage in debauchery.

The Daily Star reported:

Thousands of thrill-seekers have flocked to Nevada’s Black Rock Desert to get stuck into what many are calling the “wildest festival of the year”.

This year’s bash, themed Curiouser & Curiouser, doesn’t skimp on the zany action the program’s chock-full of bizarre happenings that’ll raise more than just eyebrows. Known for its hedonistic vibes and “erotically charged” atmosphere, it’s no shocker that a chunk of this year’s events leans toward the saucy side.

The infamous Orgy Dome at Burning Man is hosting regular consent chats and providing a space for “couples and moresomes” to get their groove on. Other spicy events include “virgin sacrifice parties”, which the organiser promotes as: “Virgin Sacrifice ceremonies every 30 minutes! Lost Treasure cocktails at the bar, DJ pumping jungle vibes.”

“Revenge of The Horny Alien Scientists” also features in the list, as it reads: “Never before seen footage of the real history of Burning Man. Airing all day, every day.” And the festival proves its inclusivity by also hosting “Best Sex of your Life living with Herpes and STIs”, which doesn’t go into detail what it actually entails…

Earlier this week it was reported authorities are investigating after a woman died on the opening day of the Burning Man on Sunday.

A woman was found “unresponsive,” and lifesaving measures were unsuccessful.

The deceased woman was identified as 39-year-old Kendra Frazer.

“It is with heavy hearts that Burning Man Project confirms the death of a participant in Black Rock City in Nevada’s Black Rock Desert. Our thoughts and condolences go out to the family and friends affected by this loss. The participant has been identified by the Pershing County Sheriff’s Office,” Burning Man announced.

Last year, authorities investigated at least one death at Burning Man, as 73,000 people were trapped in a muddy hellhole.

‘Burners’ engaged in sexually degenerate activities such as “whippings by a dominatrix priestess,” “circle jerks,” “c*ck fights” and orgies.

Then the heavens opened up and drenched the festival with 3 months’ worth of rain in 24 hours.

At least one man died last year, and several attendees suffered from hypothermia.

In a new chapter on escalating authoritarianism in Brazil, Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes suspended Twitter/X in the country on Friday, 30.

Moraes summoned Elon Musk directly on the social network, demanding he appoint a representative of the big tech company in Brazil. However, Musk did not comply. Amidst the case, Moraes ordered the blocking of Starlink accounts in Brazil—also owned by Musk—under the pretext of ensuring payment of fines levied against X.

The justice ordered Brazil’s National Telecommunications Agency to be immediately notified and take all necessary steps to halt X’s operations in the country.

Moraes also issued orders to Apple and Google, given that their mobile devices run on iOS and Android operating systems. According to the justice, these companies must remove the X app from their stores.

Additionally, there are restrictions concerning VPN services. The Supreme Court justice’s ruling specifically mentioned Proton VPN, Express VPN, NordVPN, Surfshark, TOTALVPN, Atlas VPN, and Bitdefender VPN. De Moraes imposed fines of up to $8,874 a day for any user found using VPNs in Brazil.

Yesterday, Twitter/X warned that the Supreme Court justice would take down the platform. The company explained that this would occur because X refused to comply with his unlawful orders.

X stated:

“Soon, we expect Judge Alexandre de Moraes will order X to be shut down in Brazil – simply because we would not comply with his illegal orders to censor his political opponents. These enemies include a duly elected Senator and a 16-year-old girl, among others.

When we attempted to defend ourselves in court, Judge de Moraes threatened our Brazilian legal representative with imprisonment. Even after she resigned, he froze all of her bank accounts. Our challenges against his manifestly illegal actions were either dismissed or ignored. Judge de Moraes’ colleagues on the Supreme Court are either unwilling or unable to stand up to him.

We are absolutely not insisting that other countries have the same free speech laws as the United States. The fundamental issue at stake here is that Judge de Moraes demands we break Brazil’s own laws. We simply won’t do that.

In the days to come, we will publish all of Judge de Moraes’ illegal demands and all related court filings in the interest of transparency.

Unlike other social media and technology platforms, we will not comply in secret with illegal orders.

To our users in Brazil and around the world, X remains committed to protecting your freedom of speech.”

Moreover, according to X, the company will publish “all of the minister’s unlawful demands and all related court documents for the sake of transparency.”

The takedown of Twitter/X is yet another chapter in the ongoing clash between Moraes and Musk, which began in the wake of the Twitter Files Brazil leaks.

Recently, leaked messages reported by Folha de S.Paulo revealed that Moraes used the structure of the Superior Electoral Court, where he was president, to bolster investigations in the Supreme Court and pursue opponents of former conservative President Jair Bolsonaro.
