'I WILL NOT BE DISRESPECTED'
Adams doubles down on slave owner jab at woman, 84, who fled Nazis
June 30, 2023
Mayor Eric Adams defended his strident takedown of an 84-year-old tenant activist, justifying his comparison of her to a plantation owner because she “disrespected” him.
He’s not backing down.
Mayor Eric Adams defended his strident takedown of an 84-year-old tenant activist, justifying his comparison of her to a plantation owner because she “disrespected” him.
“[H]er behavior was acting in a disrespectful way,” he told 1010 WINS radio Friday morning.
“I came from a family that my mom made it clear: Never allow someone to be disrespectful to you.”
Adams headlined a town hall Wednesday evening in Hamilton Heights, where he was interrupted by Jeanie Dubnau, a housing rights advocate and an assistant professor of biology at Rutgers University.
She challenged him for backing a recent decision that will lead to an increase in rents for rent-stabilized apartment dwellers across the five boroughs.
“Don’t stand in front like you treated someone that’s on the plantation that you own,” Hizzoner chastised her during the panel.
Adams argued that it was Dubnau’s tone of voice and finger-pointing that triggered his reaction.
“She disrupted [the meeting], and then she was degrading on how she communicated with me. I’m not going to allow civil service to be disrespected, and I’m not going to be disrespected as the mayor of this city,” Adams continued during the radio interview.
He also said her outburst was also part of a larger national movement trending toward disrespect of police officers, religious groups, and other government workers.
“I’m a representative of this city, and we need to start having a better dialogue on how we communicate with each other, both locally and nationally on how we communicate.”
Dubnau was born in Belgium shortly after her parents fled the terrors of the Nazi regime in Germany.
After hiding out in Belgium and France throughout World War II, Dubnau and her parents emigrated to New York City, where she has resided since she was 8 years old.

“Oh, he’s not going to apologize,” she told The Post. “I mean, you know the mayor. He thinks he’s the greatest and doesn’t want to be criticized.”

Popular ‘Benzo’ drugs linked to suicide, brain damage — even if you stop taking them: study
June 30, 2023
Over 30 million Americans a year use benzodiazepines, or “benzos,” including Xanax, Valium, Ativan and Klonopin.
Benzodiazepines are prescribed to treat anxiety disorders, insomnia, muscle spasms, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, seizures and epilepsy.
But this widely used class of drugs is linked to severe side effects and life impacts that can last for years — even after people have stopped taking the drugs — a new study finds.
“Patients have been reporting long-term effects from benzodiazepines for over 60 years. I am one of those patients,” Dr. Christy Huff, a cardiologist and co-author of the study, said in a news release.
Huff, who is co-director of a patient advocacy group, Benzodiazepine Information Coalition, noted that she took the medication as prescribed and has not taken any benzodiazepines in four years, yet still experiences symptoms daily.
“My life is quite frankly a living hell,” Huff wrote in a 2016 statement on the group’s website.
“The only thing that has kept me going is the fact that I have a husband and 5-year-old daughter,” she added. “Honestly this is probably the only reason I have not ended my life.”
Benzodiazepines side effects
The new research, published in PLOS One, includes a lengthy list of side effects that a majority of benzo users experienced more than a year after they stopped taking the drugs.
Those long-lasting symptoms include low energy, difficulty focusing, memory loss, anxiety, insomnia, sensitivity to light and sounds, digestive problems, symptoms triggered by food and drink, muscle weakness and body pain.
Alarmingly, users also struggled with severe life impacts: 54.7% reported suicide attempts or suicidal thoughts, for example.
Other negative life impacts included being fired or loss of employment, marriage and relationship problems, lower income or loss of income, increased medical costs and violent thoughts or actions.
“This should change how we think about benzodiazepines and how they are prescribed,” Dr. Alexis Ritvo, assistant professor of psychiatry at University of Colorado Medicine, said in the news release.
The researchers surveyed 1,207 people who were still using benzodiazepines, were reducing their dosage of benzos (“tapering off”) or had completely stopped taking the drugs.
Several members of the research team — which included experts from the University of Colorado and Vanderbilt University Medical Center — have personal experience with benzodiazepines, which helped guide the survey questions.
Stuck in a BIND
The researchers have coined the term BIND, or benzodiazepine-induced neurological dysfunction, to describe the long-lasting effects of benzo use.
Though BIND is a new term and the condition is not yet well-defined or universally accepted by doctors, the study authors believe it could be a result of brain changes resulting from benzodiazepine use.
BIND could occur in roughly one in five long-term users of benzodiazepines. The risk factors for BIND are not yet understood, and more research is needed to define the condition and treatment options, according to the news release.

Shoplifting in NYC is so bad supermarkets are locking up, installing anti-theft devices on $6 ice cream: ‘This is the age we live in now’
June 30, 2023
Freeze, thieves!
Shoplifters are running so wild in the Big Apple that pints of high-end ice cream now have special locked lids to thwart cold-hearted crooks.
The Fairway supermarket on the Upper West Side is guarding $6 cartons of Häagen-Dazs with bolted plastic tops — which can only be removed with a device at the register — as other shops padlocked freezers of the treats.
A sign at Fairway gives shoppers the scoop on why there’s now a barrier on the popular summertime sweets.
“To help maintain the lowest possible cost, a protective lock has been placed on some units of ice cream,” it reads.
“This lock will be removed at checkout by a store associate. We apologize for any inconvenience.”
Customers at the store, at Broadway and 74th Street, called the goodie-guarding gadget a sign of the times.

MSCHF's crumb-sized bag sells for over $63,000
June 29, 2023
A microscopic handbag "smaller than a grain of salt" has been sold for $63,750 (£50,569) at auction.
A microscope is needed to view the bag's design, with the tiny object measuring 657 x 222 x 700 micrometres.
"Narrow enough to pass through the eye of a needle, this is a purse so small you'll need a microscope to see it," the art collective behind the bag said.
Art collective MSCHF, based in Brooklyn, is known for its controversial designs.
They include shoes that contain human blood, trainers with holy water in the soles, a cologne that smells like WD-40, and giant red rubber boots.
This time, the collective decided to take the trend of small handbags to the extreme.
"There are big handbags, normal handbags and small handbags, but this is the final word in bag miniaturisation," MSCHF said in a post about the bag.
The bag features luxury handbag designer Louis Vuitton branding, but has no connection to the brand.
It is made of photopolymer resin and was created using a 3D printing technology often used to make tiny mechanical models and structures.
While it was being created, some of the tiny bag samples sent to be reviewed by the brand were so small that they were lost by the MSCHF team, the Smithsonian magazine reports.
But loss of the item should be less of a worry for the new bag's owner, as a microscope with a digital display was included in the purchase.
Microscopes with digital displays can be bought from online retailers and can range in price from $60 to thousands of dollars.
The auction site did not list the price of the microscope separately from the bag. Bids for the item started at $15,000.
Speaking about the use of Louis Vuitton branding on the bag, MSCHF's chief creative officer, Kevin Wiesner, told the New York Times earlier this month that the group had not sought permission from the brand to use it. "We are big in the 'ask forgiveness, not permission' school," he said.
MSCHF settled a lawsuit with Nike in 2021 over its sale of modified trainers containing a drop of human blood. It is also appealing in a Vans trademark lawsuit.

Green: https://sleepydude.substack.com/p/quick-comms-green
Sleepydude defines green as symbolizing propaganda.
"Green is a funny sort of color. In places where life flourishes it’s the most prevalent.
Green is the color which allows plants(paid liars) to take in sunlight(attention) and water(information/instructions) and show off all their pretty flowers(news topics). They release pollen(honey/sweet lies) and their seeds(plans) go on to make even more plants all over the fields.
Alright, let’s get down to the nitty-gritty.
Green is synonymous with propaganda. It’s “cover” and “growth” that sorta just takes care of itself. You plant the seeds in a population and they take it from there to produce all sorts of theories and stories about “what’s really going on.” You typically can’t tell how active the wind(rumor/gossip) is unless you watch the leaves move. Apply that logic to having to listen to a lot of rumors and gossip to get an idea of what’s going on in any happenings and you see the connection.
Green, itself, is a good omen as it means there’s plenty of opportunity to survive. Deserts are void of any of the green stuff, so it’s not the place you wanna be. Droughts denote a lack of knowledge/intel(water) and a surplus of attention(sunlight) that makes hiding impossible.
Applying the propaganda angle a bit more requires one to think about a stage play. What is a “prop”? Can cardboard-cutouts of trees, bushes, and landscape backdrops be used to hide the actors behind the curtain as they change in and out of their costumes?
That’s what propaganda is in the context of greenery. It’s anything that “props” up a story and makes it more believable. Stage-setting stuff. Background-objects.
In that same sense, greenery also has a place in folk lore. Bad things always tend to happen in the woods. All sorts of rituals and occult goings-on take place in the cover of night during the spring and summer seasons where there’s plenty of foliage to hide your torches, lanterns, candles, or what-have-you. Once again, the color green is representative of “cover.” You’re free to sacrifice all the children you want as soon as all the leaves pop out to block the villagers from spotting you dancing nude under the full moon light.
You know, Bohemian Grove stuff. That sort of thing…

>also reminds anon of "the 64 thousand dollar question"
Exactly this, same here anon
Note; The scandalous $64,000 question:
THE $64,000 QUESTION : HOW DID THE ‘50s QUIZ-SHOW SCANDAL ENSNARE A TENNESSEE MINISTER?
Nov 5, 1989
except: Week one: Doll and Stoney answered the $2,000 question.
Two days before the second week’s show, however, Stoney was ushered into the office of producer Shirley Bernstein, who began casually discussing “great love stories.” Did Stoney know who wrote a 19th-Century poem similar to “Hero and Leander”?
He didn’t. “It was Thomas Hood,” Bernstein said. Stoney was silent, not knowing what to say.
On the night of Dec. 29, 1957, the dueling Tennesseans were again in their respective isolation booths. Emcee Ralph Story asked Doll the $4,000 question. It was the one about Thomas Hood that Bernstein had asked Stoney.
Doll was a blank.
When Story asked him the question, Stoney almost jumped out of his skin and for an instant considered shouting: “I know the answer, because Shirley Bernstein gave it to me.” But he didn’t. “The answer is Thomas Hood,” Stoney said. He had won $4,000. But his heart sank, for he was off the show.
Stoney was outraged. He learned later from Doll that Bernstein had misleadingly told her to bone up on Shakespeare. In sabotaging Doll, moreover, the show kept Stoney from advancing.
So angry was Stoney that he wrote Time magazine, revealing all. No reply. Next Stoney repeated his story in a letter to The New York Times. Nothing doing. Stoney called the Nashville Tennessean. Not interested. Lastly, he appealed to Tullahoma News publisher Simon. “No one would believe you,” Simon replied.
The man who soon made it possible for Stoney and other estranged contestants to publicize charges of deception was a standby contestant on the CBS daytime show “Dotto,” who produced unrefutable evidence that the current champion won with pre-fed answers.
Reaction was almost immediate. The show was cancelled. Then came newspaper stories detailing former “Twenty-One” champion Herbert Stempel’s charges that he was ordered to lose to the more charismatic Charles Van Doren, a Columbia University professor who went on to become a national icon and regular on NBC’s “Today” program. Although the charges were denied, the dam was bursting. Other quiz show contestants began talking, too. One who was thrilled to unburden himself when a New York Times reporter called, was Stoney Jackson.
Stoney had already applied his winnings to the Christian Bowls debt and to adding a den to the family house. By now, he felt no guilt about “The $64,000 Question,” believing he earned his victory by studying so exhaustively. Still troubled by “The $64,000 Challenge,” however, he had relieved some of his uneasiness by sending Doll a token $400 check10%, he felt, was adequateand writing the show, describing his misgivings and vowing to repay the money in installments if necessary. The response was a written rebuke saying: “Your reasons for wanting to return the money are in your head.”
When word of Stoney’s disclosures in the New York Times reached Tullahoma, its citizens drew their own conclusions about his headand they weren’t flattering. No one berated him for being sucked into a scam offering dirty moneyonly for blabbing about it. For Tullahoma’s big tattletale, there would be no further hero worship, no more opportunities to speak or be honored at social events. A heavy aura of disgrace clung to Stoney, who somehow felt required to apologize for his truthfulness. “I was ordained a minister, not a saint,” he said. Tullahoma would testify to that.
Meanwhile, the quiz shows were investigated by a New York County Grand Jury, which lacked authority to subpoena out-of-state contestants such as Stoney. But a final appearance did await him–in front of the House Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce, which opened its hearings on the quiz shows Oct. 6, 1959.
Stoney followed Van Doren, who stunned the packed chamber by reversing his previous denials and confessing to having won $129,000 fraudulently. Then he left as he arrived, cocooned by an entourage whose presence signified his importance.
When the hearings reconvened after lunch, Van Doren had been succeeded by an entourage of one–Stoney.
