Teaching of Sexually Explicit Language by Oregon School District Sparks Outrage

The teaching of sexually-explicit language by an Oregon school district to its 10th grade students in the name of combatting pornography has prompted outrage on social media.

According to a report by parents, the students were confronted with phrases relating to pornographic content.

A post shared by the Oregon Moms Union Facebook page detailed how students were subjected to slides in a lesson with explicit language informing them of different types of pornography.

In an interview with Fox News, Oregon Moms Union co-founder MacKensey Pulliam said the content would likely make “a lot of grown-ups blush.”

“The way that they went about teaching it, and some of the content that was on the slides was really explicit,” Pulliam stated in the interview.

According to a spokesperson for the Hillsboro School District, the series of slides about pornography are part of a state mandate. The mandate specifies a requirement for students to receive age-appropriate instruction to facilitate recognizing and responding to unsafe situations and to increase awareness of child sexual abuse, Fox News reported.

“Pornography is not promoted in these lessons. Similar to how we approach suicide prevention lessons, we utilize research-based materials and clear language as we teach students these sensitive topics,” according to a statement written by Hillsboro School District communications officer Beth Graser to Fox News.

This view, however, was not shared by parents of Oregon Moms Union.

According to Pulliam, one parent parent shared photos of the slides with the group after being granted permission to view the curriculum in person at a school. Conversely, there also was criticism towards the concerned parents by some online commenters, who accused them of being “out of touch.”

“You’re all getting triggered by the explicit words, but the message is obviously a warning that they should not believe the situations depicted in porn are normal. These kids live on the internet. Your teen children have all discovered porn, and they will not tell you that,” one commenter wrote.

Pulliam, along with other upset parents, however, say the language in the slides goes too far, despite the good intentions.

REPORT: COVID Vaccines Are Causing SEVERE Neurological Complications Including Bell’s Palsy and Strokes.

The COVID-19 vaccines – including Pfizer, Moderna, AstraZeneca, and Johnson & Johnson – have been causing a number of severe, life-changing neurological complications and syndromes, according to a review conducted by the European Journal of Medical Research (EJMR).

These revelations come soon after studies discovered the vaccines, among other things, “increase menstrual disturbance chances by up to 41 percent” and have a strong link to post-vaccination tinnitus.

According to the EJMR, which relied upon research, case reports, and articles related to “adverse effects” to conduct their review, “the short-term outcome of COVID-19 vaccination is promising, but in the medium and long-term, especially with some vaccines, side effects have been reported that are worrisome.”

The study states explicitly that “[e]ach type of vaccine can play a different role in increasing the risk” of the manifestation of the following disorders:

“COVID-19 vaccination can sometimes have severe side effects on [the] nervous system, including the brain, spinal cord, cranial nerves, and peripheral nerves, and has been shown to have adverse vascular, metabolic, inflammatory, and functional effects on the brain.”

Neurological Complications.

Adenovirus vaccines, which allow fragments of mRNA or genomes to enter the human body, including AstraZeneca, Johnson and Johnson, and Sputnik, have been especially linked to complications such as thrombocytopenia, cerebral venous sinus thrombosis, ischemic stroke and intracerebral hemorrhage in the brain.

Whereas mRNA vaccines, such as Pfizer and Moderna, are more generally linked to demyelinating syndromes such as transverse myelitis, first manifestation of MS, and neuromyelitis optica, states the EJMR report.

Who is Affected?

The vaccines have “several local and systemic neurological complications that occur in different people, from mild to severe, depending on age, sex, history of the disease, and pre-existing immunity,” states the report.

At Least 5 Whistleblowers Come Forward Against Biden Family

At least five whistleblowers have come forward to allege wrongdoing by the Biden family in connection with business schemes and corresponding coverups.

The whistleblowers are in addition to the multitude of witnesses that Republican members of Congress have interviewed behind closed doors.

The whistleblowers range from an IRS agent to an Obama administration stenographer, encompassing alleged corruption in Ukraine and Mexico, along with the FBI and DOJ.

1) Chuck Grassley: Whistleblowers Say FBI Has Evidence Joe Biden Involved in Family Business Schemes

Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA), who testified before the House’s new Select Subcommittee on Political Weaponization in 2023, said whistleblower disclosures indicate the FBI has evidence that Joe Biden is aware of the family business schemes, a statement that directly contradicts the president.

Grassley said the whistleblower disclosures “make clear the FBI has within its possession very significant, impactful, and voluminous evidence with respect to potential criminal conduct by Hunter and James Biden.”

It is unclear why the FBI has not acted on the alleged evidence.

The FBI is in possession of Hunter Biden’s infamous “Laptop from Hell,” which has caused many to dub the Biden family the “Biden Crime Family.”

2) Former Hunter Biden Partner Tony Bobulinski Meeting with Senate Investigators to Turn Over Information

Tony Bobulinski, a former business associate of Hunter, personally met with Joe and Hunter Biden in 2017 for an hour to discuss “the Bidens’ family business plans” for a Chinese energy deal. That deal appears to have never been finalized. The deal included ten percent “held by H for the big guy,” who Bobulinski said was Joe Biden.

“We discussed the Bidens’ history, the Bidens’ family business plans with the Chinese, with which he was plainly familiar at least at a high level,” Bobulinski told reporters in 2020 about the business meeting with Joe Biden.

Joe Biden Pushes Ban on ‘Assault Weapons’ and ‘100-Round’ Magazines

President Joe Biden used a tweet on Sunday to reiterate his push for an “assault weapons” ban, but he also took aim at “100-round” ammunition magazines.

Biden tweeted:

Biden pushed an “assault weapons” ban on the campaign trail and has continued to push for one during his first two years as President.

Six months into his presidency, during a CNN townhall, Biden floated a “push to eliminate” 9mm pistols.

He said, “The idea you need a weapon that can have the ability to fire 20, 30, 40, 50, 120 shots from that weapon, whether it’s a 9mm pistol or whether it’s a rifle, is ridiculous. I’m continuing to push to eliminate the sale of those things.”

On May 30, 2022, Breitbart News reported on Biden falsely claiming that a 9mm bullet will “blow the lung out of the body.”

EU Cannot Punish Someone for Raping an Animal, Commission Says

The European Union does not have the power to implement laws punishing someone for raping an animal, the Commission has said.

A member of the European Commission has said that the EU has no powers to punish people for raping animals, saying that the controls for such legislation lie solely in the hands of member states.

The statement was made in response to a question from one member of the European Parliament, who criticised recent laws passed by the Spanish government which they said made it “ambiguous” whether beastiality was fully illegal in the country, before asking the commission whether the EU had a view and if they could step in.

In an answer published on Friday, Health and Food Safety Commissioner Stella Kyriakides responded that, while the EU does not approve of sexually abusing animals, the body largely had no control over the issue, with the ability to legislate on the matter of raping animals being left in the hands of individual EU nation-states.

“Deeply regrettable as they are, such [sex] acts as described remain solely under the competence of the Member States, as they cannot be said to affect the functioning of the internal market and therefore interfere with EU competences,” she said.

The commissioner went on to claim that, while the bloc’s Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union did touch on the rights of animals, it nevertheless “does not provide a legal basis permitting [the EU] to address all animal welfare issues”.

“[T]he Commission can only act within the limits of the competences (sic) conferred to it by the Treaties and therefore is not empowered to propose rules addressing sexual abuses against animals such as those covered by the Spanish law at issue,” Kyriakides went on to say.

Such a statement on behalf of the commission is notable for it being a straight admission of a lack of EU control in a particular area, with top Eurocrats largely fighting for more control to be handed to Brussels by national governments.

China Sends Ex-Russian Ambassador on ‘Peace Talks’ Mission to Ukraine

The Communist Party of China confirmed that a delegation led by former ambassador to Moscow Li Hui would begin a tour on Monday of several European states, including Ukraine and Russia, in an attempt to galvanize “peace talks” between Kyiv and its Russian invaders.

China announced that it would send such a delegation shortly after genocidal communist dictator Xi Jinping held a phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in April, the first top-level communication between the two countries since Russia announced a “special operation” to oust Zelensky in February 2022. China is one of Russia’s closest geopolitical allies and Xi visited Moscow in March before agreeing to converse with Zelensky.

While enjoying friendly ties to Russia, Beijing insists it is impartial regarding Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and has long maintained amicable ties to Kyiv. Zelensky spent much of the past year asking Xi to speak to him and inviting Chinese companies to rebuild the parts of his country destroyed by the invasion following its conclusion. Ukraine is also a member of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), China’s global debt-trap infrastructure program, and depends heavily on China for its global trade.

The Chinese Foreign Ministry confirmed on Friday that Li and his team would begin their travels on Monday, without clarifying if that meant that they would leave China on Monday or arrive at their destinations then. The Foreign Ministry has also not clarified the order in which the delegation is scheduled to visit the countries on its itinerary.

“Starting from May 15, Special Representative of the Chinese Government on Eurasian Affairs Li Hui will travel to Ukraine, Poland, France, Germany and Russia for communication on a political settlement of the Ukraine crisis,” Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin told reporters on Friday. “This upcoming visit by the Chinese representative again reflects China’s commitment to promoting peace talks and staying on the side of peace.”

Wang promoted the Chinese government’s “Political Settlement” document laying out what Beijing calls a peace plan for the country. The Communist Party published the document in February, the anniversary of the Russian “special operation,” which offers such advice for the countries as a request that Ukraine and Russia “calm down as soon as possible.”

“Dialogue and negotiation are the only viable solution to the Ukraine crisis. All efforts conducive to the peaceful settlement of the crisis must be encouraged and supported,” the paper stated, without offering specifics on those efforts. Neither Ukraine nor Russia has expressed any authentic interest in the Chinese “plan,” though the Kremlin described China has having “impressive potential for mediation” in April.

“President Xi Jinping has put forward four principles, called for joint efforts in four areas and shared three observations on Ukraine, which outline China’s fundamental approach to the issue,” Wang said on Friday. “On this basis, China released its Position on the Political Settlement of the Ukraine Crisis, which reflects the above core ideas of China’s stance and takes into account the legitimate concerns of all parties, and has thus received extensive understanding and recognition from the international community.”

Wang, hosting another regular press briefing on Monday, offered no specifics on where, exactly, Li Hui and his delegation are going.

“We have provided information a few days ago on Special Representative of the Chinese Government on Eurasian Affairs, Ambassador Li Hui’s visit to Ukraine, Poland, France, Germany and Russia,” Wang told reporters. “We will share more about the visit in due course. Please check back for updates. China will continue to work with the rest of the world to play a constructive role in the political settlement of the Ukraine crisis.”

Five Migrants on Terror Watch List Arrested near AZ Border Post-Title 42

Border Patrol agents in a single border sector arrested five migrants later discovered to be on the FBI’s Terrorist Screening Database (TSDB) watch list. The apprehensions occurred on Friday in the Tucson Sector of the United States Border Patrol shortly after the end of Title 42. According to a source within Customs and Border Protection, not authorized to speak to the media, the migrants were referred to the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task for further investigation and identity confirmation.

The source says the arrests of the foreign nationals who illegally crossed the border and attempted to avoid detection and apprehension occurred in separate incidents throughout the day and evening on Friday. Information regarding the demographics and nationalities of the arrested migrants was not available.

According to a U.S. Customs and Border Protection report, a total of 80 migrants who are listed in the Terrorist Screening Database have been apprehended after entering the United States along the southwest border between ports of entry this fiscal year. Two more were apprehended after crossing the northern border with Canada.

The data includes migrants apprehended between October 2022 and March 2023. The migrants whose names are listed in the TSDB differ from migrants who are scrutinized as being from special interest countries.

According to the FBI, Terrorist Screening Database contains information related to specific individuals reasonably suspected to be involved in terrorism (or related activities). A person’s name being listed in the TSDB triggers a reporting process that alerts the FBI to an encounter by the Border Patrol. The source says the additional scrutiny triggered by the encounter includes verification that the migrant whose name matches a name on the list is in fact the same person.

The source says that the investigation and additional interviews by the FBI’s JTTF determine the subsequent actions taken by DHS related to the consequences a migrant may face after initial processing.

The FBI’s Terrorist Screening Center (TSC) maintains the database and provides the information to several law enforcement agencies including the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Defense. The TSC does not confirm anyone’s status on the watchlist. According to the FBI, most people on the terrorism watchlist are not Americans and they have no known connection to the U.S.

Play it Again Uncle Sam… Debunked Syrian Chemical Weapons Card in Ukraine

Western media are now accusing Russian forces of preparing to use chemical weapons (CW) of mass destruction in Ukraine, thereby making the case for greater NATO military intervention.

The CW card is a complete dud. That Western media are playing it shows they are also complete duds, and that their role is as sinister as mass drug-dealing.

Deliberate provocation by Western powers is the watchword. Britain this week supplying long-range missiles, as well as depleted uranium artillery shells, and drone attacks on the Kremlin are part of a sequence to solicit never-ending escalation. Accusing Russia of planning to use chemical weapons of mass destruction, as with earlier claims of Russia willing to use nuclear weapons, is all part of the orchestrated provocation.

The degradation of Western media standards has become so bad that they can get away with retailing such nonsense to consumers of this “information”.

First of all, Russia does not have any chemical weapons. As a signatory to the international treaty known as the Chemical Weapons Convention (1997), the Russian Federation verifiably destroyed all of its arsenals as per its signatory obligations. The complete decommissioning of these weapons by Russia in 2017 was verified by the Organization for the Prohibition on Chemical Weapons (OPCW).

The United States is the only major power that has not fully implemented the CW convention by retaining stockpiles of these weapons.

Not only is speculation about Russian forces possibly using CW in Ukraine baseless, but the Western media are also deploying the shoddy lie used earlier against Syria. Incredibly, for anyone cognizant of the facts, such calumny is still peddled to blame the wrong people when the real perpetrator in Syria was Western-backed militants and their CIA and MI6-sponsored media accomplices, the so-called White Helmets.

Western media continue to claim that the Syrian government forces of Bashar al Assad used CW against civilians during the decade-old civil war in the Arab country. Russia supported the Syrian army to defeat NATO-backed radical extremists.

Now the Western media are moralizing that the United States and other Western powers took no punitive action against Syria over CW which, it is contended, is acting as a precedent for Russia to use these weapons in the Ukraine conflict.

Euronews quotes Hamish de Bretton-Gordon, a former British military intelligence officer, as saying: “The international community needs to reaffirm that any use of chemical or biological weapons would not be acceptable in any shape or form… I’m sure NATO and the West would act if they [Russia] used chemical weapons in Ukraine. But having said that they stood by when Assad used such weapons in Syria and that might embolden Putin.”

This is an outrageous lie being propagated by the Western media. It has been documented by independent investigations that the CW attacks in Syria were actually carried out by NATO-backed mercenaries in false-flag operations to provoke Western military intervention. One of those false flags in the city of Douma in April 2018 succeeded in its nefarious aims. Following the incident – dutifully amplified at the time by Western media for gaslighting the Western public – U.S. President Donald Trump bombed Syria “in revenge” along with British and French allies.

However, it turned out later that Syria, Russia and Iran were vindicated in their initial claims that the CW incidents in Syria were false-flag stunts. Indeed, it was shown that personnel in the UN watchdog, the OPCW, engaged in a cover-up to implicate the Assad government when the real perpetrator was the jihadists backed by the West, as reported by Aaron Maté and other independent journalists.

“Independent” Ukrainian “Kill List” Actually Run By Kiev, Backed by Washington

Late last year, my name was added to a blacklist published online by the Ukraine Center for Countering Disinformation. I joined over ninety others deemed to be “speakers who promote narratives consonant with Russian propaganda.“

These included Manuel Pineda and Clare Daly, both leftist Members of the European Parliament (MEP); Also counted are people on the right, such as Doug Bandow of the Cato Institute, neocon and former IDF officer Edward Luttwak, a slew of rightist MEPs; Ex CIA officer, Ray McGovern; former military and intelligence figures such as Scott Ritter and Douglas McGregor, as well as academics such as John Mearsheimer and Jeffrey Sachs. Journalists on the list included Glenn Greenwald, Tucker Carlson and Eva Bartlett, Roger Waters from Pink Floyd, and even actor Steven Seagal.

What was my crime? It said my “pro-Russian narrative” was claiming that “NATO’s proxy war with Russia is taking place in Ukraine”. Of course, a NATO proxy war is exactly what is happening there, as this article will only further confirm.

The listing helpfully provided a link with the evidence, an article I wrote for Mayadeen English called “How disinformation works: Western intelligence agencies global war on the left.” It contained a single, 176-word paragraph on Ukraine titled “‘Russian Disinformation’ or Ukrainian lies?” It recounted several examples of Ukrainian misinformation and concluded that “Anyone who mentions any particular truth is derided for echoing Putin’s ‘talking points’.” In the event I was actually denounced as an “information terrorist” who might be guilty of “war crimes.”

Being added to the blacklist concentrates the mind wonderfully on the forces ranged against the possibility of truth and justice in the crisis-ridden West. When I was first accused, over a decade ago now, of antisemitism, my response was to intensify my research and writing activities on the organizations involved in defaming me. Since then I have produced a long catalog of work on the Zionist movement as well as on Western propaganda activities. Of course, the defamatory attacks encourage an atmosphere where social media threats can be made. But the issue of Nazism in Ukraine will be seen in retrospect as a defining issue of our era and it is important to remember that the reason I and many others are threatened by the Ukraine government and their NATO backers is because we in turn threaten to expose them for what they are: Nazi collaborators.

Back on 17 April 2015, several interested people had also tracked the original web address (psb4ukr.org) directly to nato.int without the intermediary “CDN” domain suggesting that Myrotvorets had been hosted there from near the beginning. Other IP history records show that the Operation Butterfly domain discussed above was also hosted on psb4ukr.nato.int, as were two other sites:

• zoperativ.info which we noted above was part of the Myrotvorets operation;

• informnapalm.org

The latter was described “as anti-Russian propaganda site.” While this is certainly true, that designation seriously underestimates the importance of that domain in this story, as we shall see.

A day or so after this exposure in April 2015, Oxsana Tinko registered a new site for the project: psb4ukr.ninja. Perhaps foolishly, perhaps in an attempt to lean into the disclosure, she gave her location as Estonia and her company as NATO CCDCOE – the NATO Cooperative Cyber Defense Center of Excellence. For added authenticity, she used the correct street address and phone number.

The NATO center quickly put out a statement denying any link, reading:

In fact, the Centre of Excellence has absolutely no connection with the site mentioned… Oxana Tinko … has no affiliation whatsoever with the NATO Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence… [She] appear[s] to have hijacked the Centre’s public information and we are taking steps to get the false information removed.”

It is also noteworthy, however, that a Ukraine Ministry of Defense psyops Powerpoint from 2015, leaked in the same month of that year (April), refers to the NATO cyber center as one of seven Western groups with which it had “cooperation”.

Nevertheless, the link to the NATO servers remained in the page source of the Myrotvorets websites. It was not until the NATO connection became an issue again in late August 2022 that anything was done about this. This was after Henry Kissinger had been added to the site in May. Then on August 24, independent journalist Eva Bartlett (who was named on both the Myrotvorets and Center for Countering Disinformation lists) reported that the page source code for Myrotvorets included links to resources held at psb4ukr.natocdn.net. Later, on October 14, she drew attention to the fact that Elon Musk had been listed on the site briefly after he threatened not to continue supplying his Starlink system to the Ukraine military for free. Musk responded “Is this list real?” Within eight days the page source links to natocdn.net were gone.

West acknowledges direct involvement in conflict in Ukraine — Russian UN ambassador

Vasily Nebenzya noted that now the entire military machine of the West is working to keep the war going

The West has outright acknowledged its direct involvement in the conflict in Ukraine, Russia’s UN Ambassador Vasily Nebenzya told a meeting of the UN Security Council on Monday.

"Recently [German Foreign Minister] Annalena Baerbock said that possible arms supplies by third countries to Russia were unacceptable because they could be equated to participation in the conflict," the permanent representative pointed out. "And what about the fact that now the entire military machine of the West is working to keep the war going?" Nebenzya asked.

"This is yet another open admission of direct Western involvement in the conflict," Nebenzya said.

Pennsylvania Settles Voter Roll Lawsuit with Judicial Watch

Here’s the latest in our many successes for cleaner elections.

Judicial Watch settled an important federal election integrity lawsuit against Pennsylvania and five of its counties. Pennsylvania admitted in court filings that it removed 178,258 ineligible registrations thanks to Judicial Watch pressure. The new settlement specifically commits Pennsylvania and five of its counties to extensive public reporting of statistics regarding their ongoing voter roll clean-up efforts for the next five years, along with a payment to us of $15,000 for legal costs and fees.

In November 2021, we filed an amended complaint in our ongoing National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) lawsuit. The amended complaint sought to compel Pennsylvania and five of its counties (Luzerne County, Cumberland County, Washington County, Indiana County and Carbon County) to comply with their voter list-maintenance obligations under Section 8 of the NVRA (Judicial Watch, Inc. v. Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, et al. (No. 1:20-cv-00708)).

In the settlement agreement, Pennsylvania agreed to publish the total number of registered and eligible voters (active and inactive) in the five counties by June 30 of each year on the Department of State’s website, for the next five years. It also agreed to publish the total number of address confirmation notices sent to registered voters and the number returned as undeliverable or not responded to. It also will publish the total number of voters removed from the registration rolls on account of death, or for failing to respond to an address confirmation notice and failing to vote in the two most recent federal general elections.

We alleged a “multi-year failure” to take reasonable steps to maintain accurate voter registration lists as required by federal law. On April 22, 2021, we sent a notice-of-violation letter to the Pennsylvania Secretary of the Commonwealth setting forth a range of violations by the Commonwealth and 27 identified counties.

In September 2021, Pennsylvania informed the court:

Upon receiving the [April 22, 2021] letter, the Secretary [of the Commonwealth] immediately took action by investigating the issues raised and working with the identified 27 counties to remove outstanding inactive voters who had failed to return a confirmation notice and did not participate in the subsequent two consecutive federal elections. With the Secretary’s assistance, the counties removed every single inactive voter eligible for removal from the rolls. The total inactive voters removed was 178,258.

Separately, a 2020 letter from us to Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, led to the removal of 69,000 outdated registrations. According to a January 14, 2020, CBS news report, “This mountain of faulty registrations has now courted the attention of the conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch.” David Voye, Elections Manager for the county told CBS, “I would concede that we are behind on culling our rolls,” and that this had “been put on the backburner.” Allegheny County later confirmed to us on January 31, 2020 that the removals had occurred.

Cyprus says in talks with Israel over pipeline linking gas fields

"Our objective is low-cost electricity production … so natural gas should come from the area," a politician said in energy plan discussions.

Cyprus and Israel are in talks over the construction of a pipeline linking their offshore gas fields, Cyprus's energy minister said on Monday.

But George Papanastasiou appeared to play down prospects for an "EastMed" pipeline taking eastern Mediterranean gas to continental Europe, saying a shipping corridor could be set up instead from a hub in Cyprus to transport liquefied gas.

"Our objective is low-cost electricity production … so natural gas should come from the area," Papanastasiou told journalists after briefing an opposition party on the energy plans of the new administration, elected in February.

Papanastasiou, who held senior posts in the oil and gas industry before his ministerial appointment this year, said Cyprus would host a workshop with industry stakeholders on May 29.

He said a liquefaction plant could take about 2.5 years to build, and a pipeline with Israel about 18 months.

Pipeline to connect world regions

Plans for a 2,000-kilometer (1,243-mile) pipeline to take eastern Mediterranean gas to Europe have been under discussion for about a decade, and the project could potentially be part-funded by the European Union.

However, there was a setback in early 2022, when the US pulled its previous support, saying it was too expensive and would take too long to build.

"It will be a corridor, that will exist. Instead of a pipeline, it will be a connection between Israel and Europe which can be done through Cyprus," Papanastasiou said.

"It could be a virtual pipeline which would link through Cyprus to the rest of Europe in liquefied form," he added, saying liquefied gas could be dispatched from Cyprus to any market, including Asia.

Kentucky Democrat Lawmaker Dead at 45 After Suffering ‘Significant Medical Emergency’

Kentucky Democrat state Rep. Lamin Swann passed away at the age of 45 on Sunday after suffering a ‘significant medical emergency.’

Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear asked for prayers for Rep. Lamin Swann’s family.

A 45-year-old Kentucky state House Democrat has died just days after his mother said he suffered a “significant medical emergency.”

Lamin Swann, who represented District 93 in the Lexington area, passed away Sunday after being admitted to a hospital on Tuesday last week, according to his mother Pam Dixon.

“There are no words to fully describe the grief and impossible loss that others and I feel right now after saying good-bye … to my beloved son, Lamin,” Dixon said in a statement. “Beyond our faith, what comforts us is knowing the positive and lasting impact he had on so many.”

Days earlier, Dixon said her son was receiving hospital care for a “significant medical emergency” and that “during this difficult time, those of us who love him dearly are requesting both prayers and privacy.”

Pamela Dixon, the mother of Lamin Swann, released a statement on her son’s sudden passing.
