Powerful Voter Bloc to Push Trump Aligned Candidates Over the Edge

The thousands of parents and families concerned about vaccine safety represent powerful voting blocs in every state. The National Coalition of Organized Women (NCOW) will mobilize millions of voters to vote for GOP Trump aligned candidates who show support for the President’s position on vaccines and his intention-by sponsoring legislation that creates an independent Vaccine Science and Safety Commission.

EAST HAMPTON, N.Y. (PRWEB) October 03, 2018

Powerful Voter Bloc to Push Trump Aligned Candidates Over the Edge (Trump Aligned Candidates video)

Official statement on the Ford/Kavanaugh Disparity

The thousands of parents and families concerned about vaccine safety represent powerful voting blocks in every state. As with the 2016 election these constituents have the organizing power to push GOP Trump aligned candidates to victory.

We estimate that among our various groups nationally, we have somewhere in the neighborhood of 500,000 parents and families in our network while our affiliate organizations such as Natural News, Mercola and Infowars have millions of subscribers...all of whom have voiced concern about the safety of vaccines. These voters are spread across the 50 states.

Today, 69 vaccine doses are mandated for K-12 school attendance, some of which have not been evaluated for safety or efficacy in over a half of a century. The National Coalition of Organized Women (NCOW) is requesting a written statement from all Trump aligned candidates showing support for the President’s position on vaccines and his intention-by sponsoring a bill that creates an independent Vaccine Science and Safety Commission. The commission will investigate every mandated childhood vaccine for risks, benefits and cost-effectiveness, in light of current vaccine science. All GOP Trump Aligned Candidates will receive a survey from NCOW to identify their commitment to back President Trump in his efforts to ensure vaccine safety through an independent Vaccine Science and Safety Commission.

Not all these voters are parents and families of “unvaccinated” children.
Decades of public vaccine debate have made parents of vaccinated children suspicious of many government agencies, CDC, FDA, HHS, NIH and their cozy relationship with pharmaceutical/medical interests.

Publications such as the Miller's Review of Critical Vaccine Studies: 400 Important Scientific Papers Summarized for Parents and Researchers has informed the public of existing science - that there is indeed a vaccine safety problem. Increased vaccine mandates for school attendance; loss of parental rights; evidence of CDC corruption; California legislation preventing unvaccinated children from getting a public or private school education has resulted in a national and international vaccine wake up call so compelling that Italy has suspended its mandatory vaccine programs.

Heavy metals, such as mercury, aluminum and other components of vaccines that cannot be metabolized or detoxified by infants & children until the age of three due to immature liver enzyme function (Pharmacogenetics) are, in fact, disabling and poisoning every child without exception. Components in vaccines such as formaldehyde, ethanol, Polysorbate 80, Squalene, dog kidney cells, human fetal cell lines, bovine serum, insect material are reflected in the rise of neurological malfunction, allergies, eczema, asthma, sudden infant death, ADHD, Bi Polar and Autism. Moreover, the sudden appearance of an epidemic of mental illness, depression and anxiety is caused by the violent medical attack on infants and children hardly physiologically prepared for this early onslaught. Problems, never before seen are now ubiquitous and seen in every generation, in every child. All parents of both vaccinated and unvaccinated are included in our voter bloc. They want independent guarantees that vaccines, forced on them by government mandates, are truly safe! For Facebook postings:

Global market wrap: US economic data was resoundingly strong - ANZ

0
0
In a global market wrap, analysts at ANZ Bank New Zealand Limited ("ANZ") US economic data was resoundingly strong and budget worries in Italy eased on the coalition’s plans to rein in fiscal deficits over time. 

*Key Quotes:*

"Treasury yields rose, hitting levels last seen in 2011, with a solid ADP report and a booming ISM non-manufacturing driving the move. The US 2-year yields climbed 5bps to 2.86% with the 10-year up 10bps to 3.18%. 

Global yields generally followed treasuries higher. Italian yields fell 15-30bps across the curve on more conservative budget details. 

Equities are taking the rates move in their stride with Dow Jones up 0.6%. US equities were led higher by financials and industrials with real estate and utilities on the decline. 

The USD is rising and commodities are slightly higher. The USD was stronger against all in the G10 with NZD and AUD leading declines. Oil dropped sharply after a larger than expected inventory build, but later rebounded."

*DATA/EVENT PULSE*

*STRONG: "*ISM non-manufacturing came in well above expectations with underlying details strong all around. The print came in at 61.6, compared with market expectations of 58 and two points above even the most bullish market estimate. The measure of business activity is at the highest level since January 2004 and the employment index is at a record high. ADP employment came in at 230k, compared with market expectations of 184k."

*SCRIPT:* "The Fed’s Harker stuck to the script saying the Fed can take its time moving up rates and that there are some risks in the yield curve. Fed’s Barkin said that tariffs are having little effect. On the path of interest rates, he says that “conditions as we sit today continue to call for making the moves that we’ve said we are going to [make]”."

*OIL:* "Oil prices fell as the US reported a much larger than expected build in inventories, but later rebounded to be up 1.1% overall. This added to bearish sentiment after Saudi Arabia said they had raised output to 10.7 million barrels per day in October, just shy of their record November 2016."

BNP Paribas Expands its Social Impact Bond Portfolio to Support Veterans in New York and Massachusetts

Investment supports program to more readily connect Veterans living with service-connected Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) to quality employment opportunities and improve lives

NEW YORK, Oct. 04, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BNP Paribas is pleased to announce that it is an anchor investor into a $5.1 million fund for Veterans Coordinated Approach to Recovery and Employment (“Veterans CARE”), a Pay for Success project to improve employment outcomes for Veterans with service-connected PTSD. BNP Paribas is supporting this project in partnership with Social Finance Inc., The United States Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the City of Boston, the City of New York, and other participating lenders.This investment continues to grow BNP Paribas’ Pay for Success transaction portfolio, with major investments in the United States and France. In 2016, the bank closed a credit facility for the State of Connecticut’s first Pay for Success Project (the “Connecticut Family Stability Pay for Success Project”), launched by the Connecticut Department of Children and Families.

Pay for Success contracts, also known as “Social Impact Bonds,” are innovative public-private partnerships that combine nonprofit expertise, private sector funding, and independent evaluation to transform the way governments respond to chronic social problems. Through this model, private capital is raised to cover upfront costs for high impact programs while repayment to private investors only occurs if the program meets predetermined performance outcomes. Independent evaluators measure the effects of the program based on specific metrics that benefit both individuals and society.

The Veterans CARE project will serve 480 Veterans over three years in New York City, Boston, Brockton, MA, and Central and Western Massachusetts. Local VA medical centers will deliver Individual Placement and Support (IPS), an evidence-based approach to supported employment, to program participants. The Tuscaloosa VA Medical Center (TVAMC) will oversee and monitor the project. The participating governments will repay investors if the project successfully achieves positive outcomes for participants. Measures of success include earnings level, sustained competitive employment, fidelity to the IPS model, and job satisfaction.

Bob Hawley, CEO of BNP Paribas CIB Americas & Head of Global Markets Americas stated, “BNP Paribas has a proven track record of investing in Pay for Success projects in order to drive social change across the Americas. Through the Veterans CARE project, we are determined to help improve employment possibilities for US Veterans living with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.”

BNP Paribas remains committed to financing sectors that have significant positive impacts on local job creation and the overall strengthening of society. As of June 30, 2018, BNP Paribas had over €1 billion of commitments in support of social entrepreneurship and microfinance, serving approximately 1,500clients and partners. In addition, as of the end of 2017, BNP Paribas had arranged €155 billion of financings directly contributing to the achievement of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

"MasterChef" of Italian Wine: Exclusive Interview to Joe Bastianich on the Italian Wine Podcast

0
0
The Italian Wine Podcast just broadcast an exclusive interview with wine maker, restaurateur, TV celebrity, and musician Joe Bastianich. Podcast host Monty Waldin conversed amicably for half an hour with the eclectic wine and food celebrity about his Italian origins and his relationship with Italian culture more widely.

VERONA, Italy (PRWEB) October 04, 2018

In an unreserved interview, Bastianich reminisces about his upbringing in New York City and about his deep-rooted Italian connections. Bastianich’s parents came from the Istria region (former North-Eastern Italian territory, albeit Croatian now) and emigrated to New York. There, they worked in restaurants, finally succeeding in opening their own restaurant activity. Bastianich, therefore, grew up in a family environment where good food and good wine were always valued. After starting a career in Wall Street, he eventually went back to the restaurant business, contributing also to innovating the restaurant scene in New York: “When I opened my first restaurant in 1991, it was called Bacco in the Theatre District in Manhattan. We opened up with an all-Italian wine list, which was unheard of in New York in the late eighties-early nineties and every bottle was 15 dollars a bottle (the cost to customers); it was a different time, of course, where you could sell a bottle of wine for 15 bucks in a restaurant, but that is where it all began.” Currently, Bastianich owns several restaurants worldwide with the group Batali & Bastianich.

Italian wine has always played a key role in both Bastianich’s professional and personal life. Bastianich explains that, in 1997, he opened his own winery in Friuli’s Colli Orientali for his children, as a way for them to reconnect with their Italian heritage: “That was my dream… Aside from loving wine I really had to have my kids be tied to this Italian reality in a real way, like I was fortunate to have my family. And they did! They grew up in the winery, they grew up among people who live there, with a seventy-year-old woman, Gianna, who runs the winery and who taught Italian to all my kids and took care of them like she was her grandmother, and they worked with farmers. They had a whole existence of agriculture, of living in Italy… And although now they are moving away (two of them are in college)… I hope one day they will go back to Italy as a place where they had fond memories and come back to even make it a part of their life.” In the podcast, Bastianich also speaks about his non-interventionist wine making philosophy and marketing wine to the new generations.

Bastianich comments also on his television work as a judge for MasterChef Italy, explaining the close relationship judges develop with contestants during the four-month shooting of the show. He generously shares with Waldin his passion for rock music, which dates back to his teenage years and is linked to the New York City rock scene of the eighties. Bastianich plays guitar and has performed in Italy and the U.S. on various musical projects such as Vino Veritas My Life Unplugged, a concert which combines songs, storytelling, and wine tasting.

Joe Bastianich is one of several internationally-renowned personalities that have turned to wine and wine making out of a heartfelt passion for Italy. The Italian Wine Podcast features a dedicated series exploring “Celebrity Winemakers.” For instance, fashion designer Renzo Rosso (the father of Diesel Jeans) is the owner of a family winery in the hills of Marostica, near Vicenza, in his native Veneto region. In addition, French Bond girl and fashion icon Carole Bouquet settled on Pantelleria island in the Mediterranean and started producing Passito di Pantelleria.

Recently, the Italian Wine Podcast also launched a demographic survey to understand its audience and seek feedback to improve the show. The survey is available here. On the podcast website, it is also possible to donate to the show. Donations will help fund part of the show’s technical equipment, production, and publication costs.
