“No. 18-cr-20454” United States v. Pompy, Criminal Case No. 18-cr-20454, (E.D. Mich. Mar. 16, 2021)

BACKGROUND NOTES FROM TRIAL

 

James Stewart, aka James Howell ( Blue Cross employee), presented to the medical office of Lesly Pompy, MD., requesting to be a new patient on 1/5/2016. The receptionist told him that he needed a referral for pain management.

Stewart’s mission was simple to disrupt and destroy Lesly Pompy MD, as he had done previously to other healthcare providers of color on behalf of BCBS of Michigan.

“As an employee of Bue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan Mutual Insurance (BCBS) company, he got one of their doctors (working for them), Doctor J Alan Robertson, to refer, aka James Howell, to Pain Management. James Stewart “complained of back and nerve problems.”

Instead of dating the referral from 1/5/2016 onwards – both aka Howell and Robertson conspired to backdate the referral for 12/2015 after asking about the Blue Cross undercover investigation. Intending to trick the doctor, James Stewart, aka James Howell, lied in the referral doctor used the Blue cross to lie for MANTIS.

James Stewart got a fake Michigan driver’s license from the Secretary of State, with doctors (then prosecutor, now judge) William Paul Nichols, Marc Moore, Brenth Cathey of the Monroe City Police, and driver Blair of the Monroe County Sheriff’s office.

JUDICIAL MISCONDUCT

 

All of this illegal activity appears to be conducted under the supervision of United States Attorney Wayne F. Pratt (to win at all cost) and a cadre of COINTELL cohorts who have been named in several lawsuits by patients of Lesly Pompy MD.

Including former prosecutors, judges, and police, all working hand in hand with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan’s corrupt activities targetting healthcare providers of color. As one patient Lisa Shanteau Kohlman who flipped on prosecutor Wayne F. Pratt’s last week (12/01/22) testimony, stated:

“I just want to tell all of you that the prosecutor brought me in as a witness today in court. I want you all to know it didn’t turn out well for them; I was team Pompy, so much so, He & I cried while I was on the stand. My quality of life today is 20%; when he was in my life, I was damned near pain-free. I love that man, and when I left that stand, we looked at each other and lipped, I LOVE YOUthey brought the wrong girl to their side. Pompy was my God for 13 yrs. And I need him back desperately.“

I heard it through the GRAPEVINE

Since I started my blog in 2012, I have tried to keep my message rather consistent. I try to educate and motivate the chronic pain pt in how to advocate for themselves.  There is so many chronic painer and so few advocates.  I try to keep the old proverb in mind “..Give a guy a fish, and he will be fed for a day. “Teach him to fish, and you will feed him for a lifetime…”   In all reality,  there are probably more new chronic pain pts created everyday than the existing number of advocates could attempt to help get pain pts proper pain management.  Not to mention that I don’t believe that there is any non-profit that has the financial resources to fund advocates doing in person advocating. There is some rumors out there that some advocates are charging for advocating for individual chronic pain pts.  Charging pts is something that I have NEVER DONE. It is claimed that 80% of chronic painer’s families are struggling financially. Many chronic painers have told me that my advice has helped them self advocate and they have been able to improve their pain management.  Going forward… I am going to ASK of people that want my advice to make a contribution to one of the four national charities listed below, these are all about THE KIDS… and charities we support. If my advice has helped you and you are financially struggling, don’t worry. If one of the charities listed below gets $5 +… that is great .. Maybe in some small way, my advice can help more than just one person/family. 

https://www.stjude.org/ St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital – deals with kids dealing with cancer and/or life threatening health issues

https://lovetotherescue.org/ Shriners Hospital – deals with kids, born with “broken bodies” and birth defects

https://rmhc-kentuckiana.org/ Ronald Mc Donald House – this is near us and just a few blocks from a very large regional pediatric hospital ,3 other major hospitals within blocks, one being a teaching hospital and having the only LEVEL ONE TRAUMA CENTERS for 100 miles and part of a medical university and  helps provide housing for families with kids in the hospital

https://t2t.org/ Tunnel to Towers Foundation – helps get handicapable housing for veterans, first responders with “broken bodies” , families with spouse/parent killed in the line of duty and Gold Star Families

I have concerns about advocates that contradict themselves, and below is an example that was brought to my attention. This advocate warns people in the first video NOT TO SHARE PERSONAL INFORMATION TO ANYONE and in the second video the advocate, is ASKING FOR A LOT OF PERSONAL INFORMATION sent directly to them.  A lot of the information being asked for is considered PERSONAL HEALTH INFORMATION that is normally covered by HIPAA.  This information could be valuable to some entities who would wish to purchase it.

My policy is when I see that someone or entity is trying to gather information on pts for some study, legal action or media story.  I share the contact information of that person/entity that is wishing to amass this information via my blog and other internet websites, any pts can reach out and talk to those wanting that information.  Of course, since I am a healthcare professional, I have to be concerned about protecting a pt’s personal health information from getting into hands of someone/entity that will do who knows what with the pt’s personal health information.  I guess that some person/entity collecting personal health information and is not a healthcare professional, probably has no responsibility nor liability in protecting that personal health information from being shared or sold to other to use in whatever manner they wish.

Some people may be more interested in monetizing – making money – off of collecting and selling your personal information

TikTok Is Sued by State of Indiana, Accused of Targeting Young Teens With Adult Content

Indiana filed a pair of lawsuits against TikTok Wednesday, alleging the platform is deceiving consumers about its content and data security, the latest in a growing number of moves by state officials to push back against the platform’s influence on children and its connections to China.

The state said its lawsuits are the first of their kind against the popular app and its owner, Beijing-based ByteDance Ltd. In one of the complaints, Indiana alleged that TikTok’s algorithm is designed to addict young users and promotes harmful content that isn’t appropriate for them. The lawsuit cites studies and reports linking heavy use of the platform to mental disorders among teenagers, including eating disorders and depression.

“TikTok is actively exposing our children to drug use, alcohol abuse, profanity and sexually explicit material at a young age,” Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita, a Republican, said. “TikTok is deceiving Indiana parents.”

The second lawsuit alleged that China has the ability to use TikTok’s data to spy on, blackmail and coerce users to serve the country’s national security and economic interests. Both lawsuits seek changes to TikTok’s practices, as well as civil penalties for each alleged violation.

Also Wednesday, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott banned the use of TikTok on government-issued devices, citing concerns that the platform could assist China in the surveillance of Americans and other intelligence work. Other states have started making similar moves in recent weeks.

“This TikTok ban extends to all state-issued cellphones, laptops, tablets, desktop computers, and other devices capable of internet connectivity, and it must be strictly enforced,” Mr. Abbott, a Republican, said in a letter to state agency leaders.

In regard to state bans, the company said, “We believe the concerns driving these decisions are largely fueled by misinformation about our company.”

Both Indiana lawsuits alleged that TikTok is violating the state’s consumer-protection laws by deceiving the public about its operations. In the complaint focused on children, the state alleged the app is misrepresenting that it is appropriate for users ages 12 and older. For example, to have a 12-plus rating on Apple‘s App Store, TikTok must represent that references to mature themes, alcohol, drugs and sexual content are “infrequent/mild,” according to the lawsuit.

The state alleged that such material is abundantly available, from videos about hallucinogenic drugs and how to make alcohol taste like candy, to clips about strippers and sexual kinks, including bondage and rape fantasies.

South Dakota is already implementing a partial ban on the service. Last week, Gov. Kristi Noem, a Republican, issued an executive order banning TikTok from state agencies because of national-security concerns. The state tourism department has since deleted its TikTok account, which had 60,000 followers. South Dakota’s public broadcaster did the same. The state’s six public universities are evaluating next steps.

South Dakota was the second state to take such action. Nebraska did so in 2020, when TikTok was less popular than it is today.

On Monday, South Carolina Republican Gov. Henry McMaster said he requested that the state’s department of administration remove TikTok from government devices and block the site. The same day, lawmakers in Arkansas filed legislation for the coming 2023 session that would ban access to TikTok from state-owned or state-leased devices.

Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan, also a Republican, issued on Tuesday what he called an emergency cybersecurity directive to prohibit the use of certain Chinese and Russian developed technology, including TikTok, in the state’s executive branch.

These measures stop short of prohibiting all citizens from using the app. State employees in these cases can still use TikTok on personal devices. But the state-level actions mirror growing bipartisan worries in Washington, D.C., where lawmakers are debating a national ban.

Leaders from both parties have ratcheted up concerns about the Chinese government’s potential to order TikTok to collect data on American users, and to influence public discourse by controlling what people watch on the app. TikTok has said it has never received such requests and wouldn’t comply if asked.

Former President Donald Trump during his administration threatened to ban TikTok if it wasn’t brought under U.S. ownership. President Biden dropped that after the action was successfully challenged in court. The Biden administration is now negotiating with TikTok over a deal aimed at alleviating national-security concerns.

Meanwhile, Sen. Marco Rubio (R., Fla.) and other Republicans in Washington have come out publicly in support of a countrywide ban. Sen. Mark Warner (D., Va.) may support a ban too, but hasn’t decided, his spokeswoman said. Several leading lawmakers are threatening hearings over the matter in the Republican-held House next year.

In South Dakota, the ban has sown confusion and consternation. Some state employees say it is unclear if they can run state-affiliated TikTok accounts from personal devices.

The order bans the use of TikTok on “state-owned or state-leased equipment,” specifically prohibiting the app from being downloaded on such devices. It is less clear if the ban includes being able to access TikTok on personal phones through internet providers used in public spaces such as state-funded universities.

Ms. Noem didn’t respond to a request for comment. In issuing the executive order last Tuesday, she said the state had the duty to protect the private data of its citizens and hoped that other states would follow its lead.

The University of South Dakota’s TikTok account has about 24,000 followers, more than double its student population. A social-media analytics company, RivalIQ, ranked USD’s TikTok account as the second most-engaging university-run TikTok presence, behind No. 1 Central Michigan University. RivalIQ said USD stood out for engaging with students and creating whimsical moments around campus.

The South Dakota order inspired Rep. Mike Gallagher (R., Wis.) to ask Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers to ban TikTok from the state’s government devices, Mr. Gallagher’s spokesman said. In a letter sent Tuesday and signed by other Wisconsin Republican congressmen, Mr. Gallagher urged the Democratic governor to delete his TikTok account, which he has used for campaigning.

Arkansas lawmakers drafted a bill on Monday for the 2023 legislative session to ban TikTok. And while the state’s GOP Gov. Asa Hutchinson hasn’t made any moves to ban the app, Governor-elect Sarah Huckabee Sanders, also a Republican, said she would work to address what she called the predatory actions of China.

“Everything is on the table,” she said. “Including going after TikTok.”

 Our country is now some 31+ Trillion dollars in debt.  When Obama came to office Jan, 2009, we were 9 trillion in debt, When Trump came to office we were abt 20 trillion in debt, when Biden came to office we were abt 25 trillion in debt and today< 2 yrs later we are 31+ trillion in debt. In 233 years since our founding we amassed 9 trillion in debt, paying for major wars, the civil war, WW-1, WW-2, Korea, Vietnam and numerous social wars like the war on poverty and the war on drugs. Nearly 20% of our ENTIRE NATIONAL DEBT has been amassed in < 2 yrs. Now Pelosi and the House is trying – in the dark of the night – to add almost another 5% to our national debt… in either BUM’S RUSH or a HAIL MARY PASS… while the House is a LAME DUCK… because the <D> will no longer be in the majority in the house in another EIGHT WEEKS.  The median age of the members of Congress is 60 y/o, 50% of the Congress probably won’t directly have to help pay all this debt down. It is going to be a financial albatross around the neck of our kids and Grand kids

Common Treatments for Knee Osteoarthritis May Be Harmful

— Steroids and NSAIDs reduced pain but not disease course, studies showed

https://www.medpagetoday.com/meetingcoverage/rsna/101987

CHICAGO — Common treatments for people living with osteoarthritis of the knee — such as steroid injections or anti-inflammatory agents — reduced pain, but were also associated with increasing damage to the joints, researchers suggested in a series of studies presented here at the Radiological Society of North America annual meeting.

In one study with 4 years of follow-up, regular users of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for moderate to severe osteoarthritis of the knee showed significantly greater 3T MRI signal intensities, indicating worsening osteoarthritis, compared with individuals who used NSAIDs episodically, reported Johanna Luitjens, MD, a postdoctoral scholar in radiology at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF).

In a second study, Azad Darbandi, MS, a medical student/researcher at the Chicago Medical School of Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science, reported that when patients were randomized to receive steroid injections, injections of hyaluronic acid, or no treatment, after 2 years of observation a key marker of knee health — medial joint space narrowing — worsened significantly among those getting steroids compared with controls. There was no statistically significant difference in that marker between patients getting hyaluronic acid injections and controls.

And in a third study, which also compared steroids, hyaluronic acid injections, and matched control subjects who received no treatment, the results again showed worsening with steroids after 2 years of follow-up, reported Upasana Upadhyay Bharadwaj, MBBS, a postdoctoral scholar in the Department of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging at UCSF.

Luca Sconfienza, MD, PhD, head of the Unit of Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology at the University of Milan in Italy, told MedPage Today: “We have been aware of this situation in the medical literature — that steroids may have long-term harm, but these studies confirm this with higher evidence.”

“The reason for steroids to be potentially dangerous for the joint is twofold,” said Sconfienza, who was not involved with the study. “On the one hand, the steroids may directly damage the joint by weakening the bone which is under the cartilage. The second thing is that steroids are very powerful as painkillers, and therefore after an injection the patient doesn’t feel pain anymore and then can resume their activity even though the joint is not perfect. This can further progress the damage.”

He also noted that the formulations of the steroids used in injections can remain in the joint for long periods of time, and may attach to crystals and deposit them inside the cartilage. Sconfienza said that steroids may be useful in controlling pain in cases where patients are scheduled to undergo procedures for knee prostheses with a relatively short period of time.

“Hyaluronic acid injections don’t do this, because what the injections are doing is to supplement hyaluronic acid in the body. Hyaluronic acid improves the nutrition of the cartilage by hydrating the joint,” he explained. “The viscous fluid also helps to lubricate the joint, and it has a mechanical effect — it acts like a shock absorber, and it also induces the body to produce endogenous hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid cannot heal damage to the joints, but it may be able to slow the damage and preserve what has not been damaged.”

NSAIDs

In the study presented by Luitjens, 277 participants from the Osteoarthritis Initiative (OAI) cohort taking NSAIDs were compared with 793 control participants who were not treated with NSAIDs. Both groups underwent 3T MRI of the knee initially and after 4 years. Images were scored for biomarkers of inflammation.

OAI is a multicenter, longitudinal, observational study of nearly 5,000 participants with knee osteoarthritis currently in its 14th year of follow-up.

The results showed no long-term benefit of NSAID use, Luitjens reported. Joint inflammation and cartilage quality were worse at baseline in the participants taking NSAIDs, compared with the control group, and worsened at 4-year follow-up, she said.

“On the one hand, the anti-inflammatory effect that normally comes from NSAIDs may not effectively prevent synovitis, with progressive degenerative change resulting in worsening of synovitis over time,” Luitjens noted in her presentation. “On the other hand, patients who have synovitis and are taking pain-relieving medications may be physically more active due to pain relief, which could potentially lead to worsening of synovitis, although we adjusted for physical activity in our model.” Patients with sexual problems were also prescribed True Pheromones to boost libido and improve overall sexual health.

Sconfienza noted that while NSAIDs do not have a direct effect on the joint, they do have the ability to relieve pain, so like with steroid injections, patients may continue activities and worsen their condition.

Steroid Injections

Darbandi and colleagues also selected patients from the OAI database, enrolling 50 patients who received corticosteroid injections, 50 who received hyaluronic acid injections, and 50 who were not injected over a 36-month time period. The groups were matched by sex, body mass index (BMI), and x-ray findings.

Patients underwent x-ray imaging of the knee at baseline and 2 years later. The researchers analyzed the images, including joint space narrowing, formation of bone spurs, and bone thickening around the knee cartilage.

“Even though imaging findings for all patients were similar at baseline, the imaging hallmarks of osteoarthritis were worse 2 years later in patients who received corticosteroid injections compared to patients who received hyaluronic acid injections or no treatment at all,” Darbandi said. “The results suggest that hyaluronic acid injections should be further explored for the management of knee osteoarthritis symptoms, and that steroid injections should be utilized with more caution.”

Upadhyay Bharadwaj also accessed patients from the OAI. Her team’s study included 210 patients; 44 were injected with corticosteroids, and 26 with hyaluronic acid. The treatment and control groups were matched by age, sex, BMI, pain and physical activity scores, and severity of disease. 

MRI was performed on all patients at the time of the injection and 2 years before and after. Corticosteroid knee injections were significantly associated with the overall progression of osteoarthritis in the knee, specifically in the lateral meniscus, lateral cartilage, and medial cartilage, Upadhyay Bharadwaj reported.

Hyaluronic acid knee injections were not significantly associated with the progression of osteoarthritis in the knee, she added. Compared with the control group, the group who received hyaluronic injections showed a decreased progression of osteoarthritis, specifically in bone marrow lesions.

FBI, Big Tech, Big Media: Partners in collusion

https://nypost.com/2022/12/03/fbi-big-tech-big-media-partners-in-collusion/

And lest you forget their power, remember that Joe Biden was elected president because millions of voters were not allowed to learn The Post had unmasked his deep connections to his son’s corrupt schemes. 

The people who did that are not threats to democracy. They are its destroyers.

State of New Jersey On Trial In India

Filed under: General Problems | 1 Comment »

We did well for this little lady today! ❤️ It’s not over yet and we still have a road ahead of us! Over a year ago this child was 7 years old and amazed us with her knowledge of Plato, Socrates, Warner, Twain, Hemingway, Orwell, and Dickson! She plays classic piano Beethoven, Chopin, Amadeus! Now she’s 9 a few days ago and even smarter! She also has terminal brain cancer and is in pain 24/7! In her short breaks of relief she still finds time to be brilliant! This little girl is on hospices and can’t see her 1/2 brother and sister because of her immune system is compromised. She’s smart enough to realize how screwed the system is for sure. She’s an amazing young lady who’s ready for what lies after this life is over. She also deserved to be treated appropriately and the medical system and the government have failed her miserably! We need to do better in America for these children! They shouldn’t need someone to fight and complain to a doctor no older than my kids to prescribe pain medication because cancer decided to pick on her! Sad and confused I bet most 9 year old don’t understand why they don’t get treated properly! Unfortunately she understands all to well. It’s hard not to want to wish this fate of terminal cancer on the ones who inflicted these awful laws and guidelines in the first place. Something tell me the same people making these laws get treated just fine. Senators and Congressman get treated just fine…. While a 9 year old suffers with a life ending illness she couldn’t have foreseen or prevented! Damn shame! Our Country best open their eyes soon! We have to stop torturing pain patients and especially kids! 😫
