2023.06.02 17:10 Wapulatus Respect Beast I, Goetia (Fate/Grand Order)

"Then I shall show you. The end of your journey. The demise of human history that will redo this planet. The moment my great undertaking is completed!"

Goetia

Shikisai ~The Time of Parting Hath Come~
This thread is a collaboration with InverseFlash and rsthethird, who helped with feat-gathering, as well as Proletlariet, who helped with formatting. Thanks!

Background

Beast I. One of the Seven Evils of Humanity, possessing the principle of "Pity".
The King of Mages, Solomon, gathered 72 demons in his life that he fashioned into "a system to promote reason in humans"--a sort of magical logic network. After some time, the demons gained self-awareness and merged into a collective being.
This being, the amalgamation of the 72 Demons, became known as Goetia.
When Solomon died, the demons were sealed away inside his corpse. The awakened Goetia at first assumed Solomon's identity. Through his eyes, they witnessed the extent of human suffering that Solomon, for all the king's vast power, had failed to address. They became disillusioned with their host, and hatched a plan to remake the world without its imperfections by travelling back in time.

Elements of Goetia's in-game profile and Fate/Grand Order material IV entry (translated by castor212) are freely quoted in this thread to help explain abilities that might not show up explicitly in the series very often.

King of Mages - "Solomon"

"Plead for help. Raise your mewling voice. For it is the time for you to drown in the sea of anguish! Behold this festival of flame that set ablaze the altar, rendered in its resplendence!"
The Time of Coronation Hath Come
Prior to revealing himself, Goetia posed as King Solomon while possessing his corpse..
Controlling Solomon granted Goetia a variety of abilities, namely the class container of "Grand", which allowed him to outclass any normal Servant by virtue of this.

Physical Feats/Power

Clairvoyance

It has been said that Solomon's clairvoyance can see through the past and the future.
Because Clairvoyance is a skill furnished on the flesh, Goetia can also use it.

Beast I - Goetia

"Well, I will rid myself of the title "King of Mages.”
"There's no more need for deception. I had no name, but if you want to call me something, call me this:"
"I am the one who shall attain true wisdom, as was desired of me. I am the one who shall devour you to reach a new height, and create a new planet."
"I am the one who shall gather 72 curses, and set flame to all of history. I am the Ritual for the Incineration of Humanity."
"I am Goetia, the King of Demon Gods."
Shikisai ~The Time of Parting Hath Come~
The form Goetia takes after he abandons Solomon's corpse partway through the final battle.
His body is a central core surrounded by the 72 "Demon Pillars" that comprise him.

King of Humans - Goetia

"The Demon Gods have burned away. My temple is destroyed. My grand plan for the Incineration of Human Order dies with me. But, I will at least deny you this final victory. Let us begin... Master of Chaldea. I shall annihilate you, and all you've achieved, with my own hands."
GRAND LAST BATTLE
Despite Ars Nova ending Solomon's spell that bound the 72 Demons together, Goetia manages to linger long enough for one last fight. However, in this weakened state he can be defeated by a punch from Ritsuka.

Noble Phantasms

Ars Almadel Salomonis: The Time of Birth has Come, He is the One who Masters All

"Then I shall show you. The end of your journey. The demise of human history that will redo this planet. The moment my great undertaking is completed! Third Noble Phantasm, deploy. The Time of Birth has Come, He is the One who Masters All. Now, burn up like trash!"
"Ars Almadel Salomonis!"
  • Rank: EX
  • Type: Anti-Unit/Anti-Human Order Noble Phantasm
  • Range: ?
  • Maximum target: ? person
Goetia's third Noble Phantasm. The "" of original sin. A belt of light that announces mankind’s demise.
Goetia is able to manipulate this belt of light in order to collect, accelerate and converge portions of it, travelling through the timestream or otherwise influencing it.
Singularities
For his plan to work, Goetia needed to make cause and effect stop working, so he can set fire to multiple periods of time in history at the same time.
He enables this by destabilizing human history with Singularities. These are turning points in human history that he's sent Holy Grails (powerful magic artifacts) to change important historical events.
Reference of what Holy Grails can do
Creation
Structure/Attributes
Incineration of Human History
Once human history is destabilized, Goetia 'sets fire' to every moment of it and lets it burn. The energy is then collected as "Spiritrons" (magical energy) and raw heat.
Of course, this has catastrophic affects on the timeline.
Bands of Light
Finally, this energy is then channeled into Goetia's temple, and refined into bands of light that he can control and release at will. Either as weapons, or as fuel to for his ultimate goal: time travel to the creation of the Earth.

Ars Paulina: The Time of Crowning has Come, He is the One who Begins All

  • Rank: A
  • Type: Anti-World Noble Phantasm
  • Range: 999
  • Maximum target: ? person
A Reality Marble that Goetia fabricated by amplifying the remains of King Solomon, forming a magical workshop in "void space" that exists outside the normal flow of time.
Reality Marbles are essentially self-contained dimensions that 'paint over the world' in a given area. Here's a better schematic explaining what they do.
Physical Structure and Location
Properties

Ars Nova

  • Rank: D
  • Type: Anti-Unit Noble Phantasm
  • Range: -
  • Maximum target: 1 person
Goetia: Light Band Convergence Ring
Solomon: The Time of Parting has Come, He is the One who Lets Go of the World

Individual Demon Pillars - Unique Abilities

While it's likely that Goetia possesses all these abilities as the composite of all Demon God Pillars, some of his components developed wills of their own and gained unique abilities before and after his destruction at the hands of Chaldea.

Flauros

Andras

After separating from Goetia, Andras gained a self-awareness and will to live, and escaped from the Temple of Time near-death, but died afterwards. Even then, its 'vindictive desires' remained as a corpse that could maintain a being by fusing to a Heroic Spirit, summoning and doing so with Chacha and Hijikata to create a singularity-like space.

"Huh, who would have known? ...Tragically short, and yet, strangely fascinating... So, this is what human life is..."

2023.06.01 20:54 rlnjkm Is LISK a Bisexual Sadist Sexual Serial Killer?

Is LISK a bisexual sadist serial killer; grooming, attacking and murdering both men and women and why do few people really want to consider this?
A reasonable case for this can be made with just allowing one’s perspective to see all of the overarching evidence and challenge law enforcement’s one dimensional, myopic and hastily put together narrative.
As stated many times before, SCPD believes “Asian Male” to be an outlier, a surprise to LISK, who being all heterosexual, beat this person to death in a fit of rage. On the surface, this is a plausible assessment; that is, if there weren't any other males found in proximity (location and time), to female victims, or found in some sort of female clothing. How does that align when SCPD also has a keen eye on Andre Jamal “Sugar Bear'' Issac, going so far as to incorporate a link to the Gilgo News website, and “owning” the case, despite their torso being found in Arverne, in a female bodysuit and skirt?
The link, or links?
As my research progressed, using my map, it became rather obvious to me that there was something more going on than the narrative suggests. The list of male victims I’ve compiled are not conclusive and there could very well be any number of reasons and tons of other POI’s, but if “Asian Male” and Sugar Bear and the Manorville Males are in LISK’s orbit, then so too are the men I will introduce below.
SCPD, subsequently and consistently has denied any link between the three murdered males found in Manorville, 2000, 2003 and 2012, despite being in relative proximity to Jessica Taylor and Valerie Mack (who were also found along Ocean Parkway in the Gilgo Beach area).
But, is this accurate?
Not by a long shot…..here is why…
What if LISK selected both women and men, to moderately groom and ultimately murder?
Before I get to that, I wanted to thoroughly look at Sexual Serial Killers in general. Many SK’s are compulsion killers- driven towards certain criteria and/or opportunities, but predominantly, sexually driven:
There are precedents of bisexual serial killers:
Serial killers have many overlapping traits, which seem like MO’s to the average person, but this is actually not the case. Each known serial killer is wholly unique and while there are some similarities, it is foolish to try to relegate any one of them into a box of characteristics and call it expertise, or “definitive”.
LISK clearly has a female “preference”. Petite, 5’-5’5”, 100 -110 lbs., hazel/green eyes. The “attributed” LISK Victims all share these characteristics. (Side note: less than 5% of the world’s population has hazel eyes, in the US, it’s closer to 18%). The narrative here is that it was easier to “control” smaller, lighter women, but not necessarily the case. Eye color preference is a derivative of paraphilia and may represent for LISK, a catalyst, rooted in his childhood or early developmental experiences or fantasies.
With the males we see a different trend, notably because males tend to be larger overall. But the methods of their deaths have some consistency.
For now, I will focus on just the time frame of 1990-2016. I will add background where relevant. To be fair, some of the criteria I used is lacking depth and is tenuous, however, for example, at that time, it was well known that a male wearing one earring is representing themselves as gay in many circles, whereas nowadays, it is not.
Also notable:
Here is a more detailed list that incorporates both attributed and possible victims:
Connectivity Avenues:
It appears that victims who worked the streets were dismembered, compared to escorts who advertised online, (assuming the same for FIJD, Peaches).

2023.06.01 17:19 Sad_Camper_473 While camping on the New Jersey side of the Delaware River, Rangers ticketed us for possession of marijuana because it was on federal property.

Using an alt account because I don’t want this story attached to my other account.
Storytime…
I’m sharing this story because it was such a ridiculous experience and show of force and authority in an area we’ve been going to for years for the sole purpose of soaking up the peace and natural beauty.
A few weeks ago a group of friends all in our mid-thirties / early-forties spent a weekend canoe camping on the Jersey side of the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area.
We’ve been doing this trip more or less since 2006 and have never EVER run into a ranger.
It was about 8 am, I was pouring a cup of coffee when three rangers walked into (ambushed) our site. While the lead ranger announced his presence and asked everyone still in their tents to come out slowly (so ridiculous), the other rangers spread out eyeing everything we had in the camp. Their tone was friendly but at the same time oddly aggressive.
The lead ranger immediately states that he smells weed and wants to know who has it. Although yes, we had weed in various forms, it’s camping who doesn’t, it was all in very small quantity and absolutely no way he could’ve smelled it because it was 8 am and no one was burning anything.
Knowing that weed is now legal in New Jersey, those who had it fessed up not really thinking twice about it. Ranger got an immediate boner and began his lecture about how it’s still banned federally and because we are in fact on federal land (but still in NJ) we have broken the law.
They corralled us into a circle around our smoldering fire pit and had us all sit while they conducted “an investigation”.
The two rangers created a perimeter around us watching our every move. Even asking us at times not to move or to put our coffee mugs down implying we might use them as weapons. Again, oddly aggressive. The lead ranger asked where it was and led us one by one to wherever we had the weed stored.
It got a little tense because we couldn’t exactly remember where we had put it the previous night before falling asleep. In our bags? In our pants we wore the previous night? On the table? It’s camping, things get strewn about all over the place and of course we had been drinking and smoking the night before so things were a little foggy…and it’s fucking 8 am.
Our one friend couldn’t seem to find his stash or remember exactly where it was, so lead officer began rummaging through his bag and tent himself. Not even sure that was legal. Finding nothing in the tent or bag, he then had our friend place his hands behind his back. Lead officer grabbed both his wrists and pushed them hard into his lower back. An aggressive move making it difficult for friend to stand straight. Lead officer began a pat down of our friend finding nothing.
He turned to us, we gave him what we had (two pre-rolls and two cartridges). He’d go on to cut us a “break” and give us one $280 ticket instead of the three he was threatening us with. And just like that they were on their way.
Thankfully we all kept our cool and sort of instinctually realized that if one of us tried to challenge the lead ranger we were going to jail. He just had that look like he was itching to ruin our weekend and would’ve loved every second of it.
In the end, it really felt like their intention was a quick money grab to show their superiors they’re good at their jobs and can bring in revenue. The unintended consequence of that is a hit to tourism, because I can tell you right now that was our last time we’ll ever camp in the DWG area and if anyone else experienced something like that up there this past weekend, I imagine they’re thinking the same.
So, for those planning on bringing the devils lettuce on a canoe camping trip on the banks of the Delaware River this summer, this is your warning. Hide it well and deny any searches.

2023.06.01 06:00 Analypiss Respect Juggernaut! (Marvel, 616)

Respect Juggernaut

This won’t hurt me! Nothing can!
♫Theme
Cain Marko was the son of nuclear scientist Kurt Marko, who worked in Alamogordo, New Mexico with Brian Xavier. After Brian died in a lab accident, Kurt married Brian’s widow Sharon for her family’s money, resulting in Cain becoming the stepbrother of the Xavier’s son Charles, the eventual founder of the X-Men. Kurt proved to be an abusive father to both Cain and Charles, which combined with Cain’s jealousy over his brother’s telepathy, fostered a lasting resentment between the two of them. After Kurt died saving them from another lab accident, Charles and Cain would end up serving with the army together in Korea. During their service, Cain would stumble across a cave that had a temple dedicated to the powerful mystic being known as Cyttorak. Touching a crimson gem at the heart of the temple, Cain was transformed into Cyttorak’s avatar on Earth, an unstoppable human Juggernaut. Shortly after, the cave collapsed, with Xavier barely managing to escape. Years later Cain would dig his way out and seek revenge on Charles for the perceived slights he had inflicted upon him. In doing so, Cain would come into conflict with the X-Men, Hulk, Spider-Man, Thor, Doctor Strange, and many other superheroes before eventually burying the hatchet with his brother. However, despite joining the X-Men and later Thunderbolts, Cain would return to being a villain each time. Throughout his life and various goals and motivations, only one constant has remained for Cain Marko. No matter the obstacle, he will never stop.

2023.05.31 23:02 flxje Buying i30N (maybe)

So I’ve been considering an i30N for a while now, I work at a Hyundai dealership and basically there is one staring me in the face everyday, currently I have scirocco 2.0tsi that is fully paid off but it’s old and I’m very worried that it will become a money pit, the i30N would be costing on a rough estimate about £380 per month, insurance wise it is actually slightly cheaper than my rocco and get better mpg and tax aswell as the piece of mind with the 5 year warranty (21 plate is the one I’m looking at) any advise at all is appreciated as I’m doing circles

2023.05.31 05:26 _Kat_5028 Have you seen my stolen white hyundai sonata? Life is falling apart piece by piece Buffalo, ny

My white Hyundai sonata was taken from the parking lot across the street from El Pueblo corner mart and Elcarajo sport bar. The parking lot is right on the corner of virginia st. and west ave in buffalo, ny. My car was previously broken into a couple months ago (rear passenger window completely smashed and ignition tampered with) but it was never stolen. I wasnt able to afford to put a new window in it so i covered it to the best of my ability with a plastic shower curtain and white duct tape. Fast forward to today, i walk out to my car so i can get groceries and its gone. I have a UAlbany sticker on the windshield (passenger side) and a green circle sticker on the driver side windshield that says “permit” written in red or white- ironically the sticker is, or at least was, my parking permit for the parking lot my car was stolen from. I attend Ualbany and im currently trying to pay off my last semester (5000$) before the next upcoming fall semester so i can attend. I cant go to work without a car, therefore i cant pay the 5000$ to attend college. And If i do find a job where i can commute via public transportation, all that money will be redirected into buying a new car because i commute about an hour and 15 minutes to college and without a car, what am i suppose to do? Take a 200$ Uber? The best part is i cant even get a new car without paying off my previous semester first. If i work just to buy a new car, i still have 5000 to pay off just so i can attend college. This is going to set me back, Im going to have to wait until the spring semester- which at that point i dont even want to attend anymore. Im sick of life treating good people badly. I had a stuffed bunny in my car, i had it since i was a baby. It was extra sentimental because i had gotten it before my dad passed away. Its the only physical thing i have that connects me to that point in my life. Whoever took my car, you took away the most important part of my childhood. I miss my dad everyday, you know he died in the bed with me and my mother? I woke up laying next to my dead fathers body, to my mom screaming bloody murder, red and blue lights bounced along the walls. I was a young kid, all i had after that was my stuffed bunny and you TOOK THAT. Please help me find my car, i need my stuffed bunny. Its the only thing i have from when he was alive. My mother also just got diagnosed with a rare brain disease which doesnt make this situation any better. In fact, it makes it 10000x worse. Now im 4 hours away from her with no car! All i want is to research cancer and help all people, thats why im devoting my college years to biochemistry and molecular biology, so one day, i CAN actually be researching cancer and helping humanity. Dont know if that’ll be possible considering i can never catch a break in life. Im a poor college student, not rich. My last 20$ that i was going to use for groceries was in my car. Im so so so done with life. Please share this post and If you see my car please let me know…

Last challenge:
R1: Delaware. Five states are using a plain circle as (primary) state highway signs: Delaware, New Jersey, Iowa, Kentucky, Mississippi. As we see a sign to Wilmington (the largest city in Delaware) and Philadelphia (keep in mind: Pennsylvania has a unique state highway sign) we are most likely in Delaware or maybe New Jersey. We see a sign for I-495. When you turn around you see signs for US 13 and US 40. I-495 and US 13 only run through Delaware (and other states) but not through New Jersey. Furthermore, the car in front of us has a Delaware license plate (dark blue background, golden letters). The location itself was a bit tricky. The exit number was the only specific clue where to look. 2 perfect scores. :-)
R2: The new sign of Idaho with just the state outline and without the state name. Older signs also show the state name. Most of southern Idaho lies in the Snake River Plain. Mountains are in northern and south eastern Idaho. The single digit road numbers are clustered in the northern part of Idaho. Many players found the intersection. 12 perfect scores. :-)
R3: New Jersey. There are several clues for New Jersey. You can see the yellow license plates of New Jersey everywhere. The street sign for Nassau Street shows the circle highway sign. This is very common in Delaware and New Jersey. However, a circle with a black background on a green sign is very common in New Jersey and seems to be unique to New Jersey. New Jersey also has signs like in R1. Therefore, a missing black background is not a hint that you are not in New Jersey. The most important clue was written on the newspaper box: Princeton, NJ ;-). 6 perfect scores. :-)
R4: State outline of Arkansas. I-555 is a spur of I-55. Both are easy to find in eastern Arkansas. You could see the freeway entry ramp when you looked north east. 4 perfect scores. :-)
R5: The flag of Colorado on the state highway sign. You could see a sign for I-25 when you turned around. I-25 is the only north-to-sounth interstate in Colorado and is easy to find on the map. CO-14 also runs through the sparsely populated eastern Colorado and is quite easy to find on the map. Many players found CO-14. Our intersection was right next to a railway track. Railway tracks might me easier to find on the map than road names. 5 perfect scores. :-)

2023.05.30 19:24 Ok-System-5213 Thoughts on best US cities to move to?

Salaam everyone,
I'm in the process of deciding where I go to for grad school, and I wanted to come here and ask for some opinions about different regions in the US since I don't have very much experience outside Illinois. Some of the most common advice given to people in my position applying to this type of program is to heavily consider the geographic location of the school you're attending in addition to the quality of education and financial aid. Some people would say it's actually even more important, depending on the specific situation. The reason being is that the location of the school is often really heavily associated with employment prospects because it is MUCH easier to find work in the state you studied in (like 85-90% of your graduating class will stay in that state for at least the next 10 years if not the rest of their lives). It also becomes difficult to move out of the state later, though it's not impossible. I'd be open to staying where I am but I'm also open to moving and settling somewhere else, not particularly committed to either.
My question here is does anyone have thoughts as to what cities/state in the US are best for young Muslims to move to? I feel like whenever I've heard this topic being discussed before or read about it on here, it's always in the perspective of places best for families rather than young adults moving alone. People usually mention Cali, Texas, Chicago, and NY/NJ for reasons like lots of halal restaurants, mosques, large communities, and Islamic schools. I think those are all important factors and I definitely want to consider them because I'll probably be there long term, but as a young single person I have different needs/priorities right now than I would later in my life when I'm settled with a family. Right now, my Muslim friend circle isn't very large but I feel like my area is a little clique-y and if you didn't make/join a friend group in college/high school, there's an additional hurdle to get past. It seems to be easier if you're married/starting a family, but that's not a decision I want to rush into lol just because I wanna make some more friends.
Ideally, I'd like to move somewhere where it's easy for me to make a lot of Muslim friends and there's a lot of activities/things to fill my social life with. What do you guys think about the different cities/regions in terms of openness/welcoming to newcomers and difficulty in making friends as a young adult?

2023.05.30 16:50 ResponsibleQuarter84 Sod Question

Sod Question
I planted sod where trees got removed. Grinded stumps, removed chips, put down top soil, fertilizer, then laid sod down. It’s been a little over six weeks. Sod looked amazing for the last 4-5 weeks but I went out today to check moisture of soil and to water and noticed semi dead patches right in the middle of the circle where I planted the sod. I followed a strict watering schedule. I’m in NJ so I’ve been watering it the last week or so every other day or every two days depending on air temp and sun exposure since it seemed set. Do these patches look like it’s from over or under watering? Might put down some light starter fertilizer.. just not sure if there’s something else I need to do.

2023.05.28 22:50 dogsandpeaceohmy Met some amazing people on Friday

I had a blast on Friday. Hung with some amazing strangers who looked out for each other all evening. I wish I would have gotten names! So if you were at the Green Stage pretty close to the stage and this sounds familiar DM me!
There was a friend duo who meet up at concerts - one was from Georgia and the other was from Wisconsin. There was the Nurse Practitioner from NJ who was a die hard DKM fan. The couple who brought a circle charger that turned into a chair and gave me water. All these great souls who seriously made a great concert absolutely amazing.
Seriously in one afternoon: was given two cans of water, had 4 people come to my aid when someone ran into me so hard i stumbled, my niece got ZERO harassment (she’s trans so it’s not unusual to get looks or comments), we all stopped at the beginning of Foos when someone fainted and made sure to make space for EMS and shined our lights for them, and we “saved” space upfront when one of the group would leave to use the bathroom or get drinks. Like this was seriously my best concert experience!

2023.05.27 23:21 sejiro7 LONG INFO, BUT GOOD READ (PT 2.)

EXAMPLES OF ORGANIZED GANG STALKING HARASSMENT

Slashed Tires, Threatening Phone Calls, Verbal Assaults by Strangers, Property Damage, Death Threats, Following on Foot or by Vehicle, Bizarre Notes and Drawings Left, Loitering, Anonymous False Accusations to Friends, Family, and Neighbors, Character Assassination, Smear Campaigns, "Black-Listing", Psychological Abuse, etc.

TACTICS AND METHODS USED BY THESE ORGANIZED GANG STALKING AND HARASSMENT GROUPS

The following techniques are several types that are often used against Targeted Individuals. There are other techniques used, but these are some of the primary ones.

ANCHORING

Anchoring is a technique employed by stalkers to implant a false motivation or reason behind the stalking preventing the victim from discovering the truth. In more sinister examples, Anchoring involves the implantation of evidence to persuade the victim some other group or organization is responsible for the abuse. Anchoring http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anchoring. In Organized Gang Stalking, Anchoring is used to make the target have fear with things happening in your daily life that's considered to be normal. That can be done with frequent demonstrations. The key is the frequency just like other Organized Gang Stalking methods. For example, People show you a pen every where you go, and their attitude is rude or crazy against you. You don't know them. You just wonder what's going on. Imagine that happens everyday, for a week, for a month, for a year, then, that makes you have fear with a pen. In this case, a pen is ANCHORED with your state of fear. It can be anything. An open car door or trunk, a pencil, a cell phone, notebook computer, a medical mask, clothes of the same color, anything. Every time I go somewhere during the day, an anchoring threat is made by car or truck with a door(s) or trunk open and no one in it sitting in someone's driveway along my route. This is a sign to get out!

AIR STALKING

This is when helicopters or planes are used to track targets that are on foot, or in cars. They fly over head and follow the targets from one location to the next. Some will monitor the targets shortly after they leave their homes.

BAITING/ENTRAPMENT

The term Baiting is a stalking tactic used to lure a victim into environments, or situations, which cause further problems to the victim. Often Baiting involves tricking a victim into committing a crime or unknowingly engaging in an illegal activity. To lure into dangerous, difficult, or a compromising situations. Members of these Organized Stalking and Harassment groups will try to lure targets into various situations for the sole purpose of setting them up. Setting up targets could involve getting them arrested, institutionalized, set up on fake sexual harassment charges, drug charges, illegal pornographic materials, etc. Once this happens, it put's targets at risk for entrapment into becoming members themselves.

BRIGHTING

Brighting is shining or flashing bright head lights on targets As targets walk on the street, usually at night, members of these Organized Gang Stalking will turn on their high beams. This might be flashed once or twice at targets. This might be used to let targets know they are being watched, however these signals might also be a way for Informants in cars at night, to communicate with their fellow counterparts. The foot patrols will then communicate back to the Informant in the car, using a combination of hand signals you will see members of these groups riding around during the day with their headlights or hi beams on. The victim is usually followed and may be "flashed" from either a "tail-gating" vehicle or a passing or on-coming one. "Brighting" also occurs when bright lights are flashed into a victim's home-windows.

CAR ACCIDENTS

Targeted Individuals complain about being cut off, driven off the road, and near fatal or fatal car accidents. Pedestrian targets complain about cars that consistently cut them off, being hit by cars, and other almost near mishaps.

CROWDING / MOBBING

When the target is in public, members of these Organized Gang Stalking groups will usually try to box the target in. Eg. They will surround the target in a square like formation if possible. They will stand too close to the target, or swarm them. QUOTE "We experienced being mobbed by vehicles from CT NY and NJ at the beginning of our trip. Some of the gangs talkers were couples with their children along! Some smirked at us and showed weapons to us through their windows, though none actually fired upon us".

COLOR HARASSMENT

Color Harassment is literally the use of color to harass a victim. Usually, monochromatic color schemes are used, though this choice is pretty much up to the stalkers. An example of Color Harassment would be a line of stalkers, in red shirts, circling a victim. Color Harassment is often combined with other stalking tactics.

CONVOY

Convoy is a tactic of stalkers referring to the practice of a group of "tail-gaiting" cars passing repeatedly in front of the home of the victim. Vehicles used may be of the same color, and stalkers may honk the car horn or flash the car headlights as they pass.

CYBER-STALKING

Cyber Stalking or Cyber Harassment is a related group of harassing behavior occurring via internet/online. Cyber Stalking includes, but is not limited to; Computer Hacking, "Trolling", Spamming (Often including "Porn Deluges", Verbal Assaults, Character Assassination, and Impersonations of the victim. Online harassment is a plank of the harassment protocol. If you have a website devoted to Organized Stalking you may have people emailing you to flame you, or claiming that they are victims & asking for support with the intention of discrediting you. You may receive unsolicited email that parallels a current event in your life. Again, surveillance is used primarily for harassment. Or you may receive covert insults & threats. If you join a support group, you may also receive harassment via threads posted on message boards. Like other mediums of harassment, the topics of these threads may be about events that are unfolding in your personal life, as well as threats or insults covertly directed at you. This will probably happen repeatedly by the same person or people. They may also employ some Gaslighting, or Jacketing tactics. Jacketing was often used during Cointelpro to make genuine activists look like informants. Some internet groups which help stalking victims are heavily populated with perpetrators posing as victims. Some of these perpetrators seem to be very vocal & popular members of these support groups.

DIRECTED CONVERSATIONS

Directed Conversation is a term referring to a stalking tactic using stranger's conversation to both intimidate and to convey to the victim that they are under surveillance. During Directed Conversation, two or more stalkers will approach near to the target and engage in "normal" conversation with one another. The conversation is purposefully made at a level so that the victim can adequately hear what is being said. During Directed Conversation, personal information concerning the victim is inserted into the speech and emphasized by the stalkers in a fashion that most non-victims would not be able to discern as harassment. The purpose of Directed Conversation is to harass a victim, as well as make the victim appear mentally unstable should they attempt to complain about such abuse.These are conversations that complete strangers will have out in public relating to the target and their personal situations. Eg. They will repeat things a target said in their home, or on the phone. They will drop very personal details into the conversation, that could only be related to the target. Eg. Member #1. It's a shame Uncle Ed won't be able to come.Member #2. Yeah since he died golfing on Saturday. The target will just have learned of a death of a favored uncle, (possibly named Ed.) while out golfing.

ELECTRONIC HARASSMENT

Electronic Harassment is the use of technological devices to spy on or cause harm to targeted victims. For example, exposure to a high magnetic field has been shown to induce hallucinations in humans while exposure to intense microwave radiation induces psychotic episodes and causes brain damage. A frequent form of Electronic Harassment involves beaming a low frequency "hum" or "tone" into a victim's home or general area. Over time, the exposure causes the victim to lose sleep, become agitated, and suffer the effects of prolonged stress. Such tactics are also being used in cases of hostage situations as well as covert government operations. Electromagnetic weapons and frequencies will be used on a target on their homes. The purpose of using the EMF (Electromagnetic Frequency) on targets ad their belonging are multifaceted. Electronic frequencies can destroy electronic equipment. Electronic frequencies can be used for monitoring and tracking inside the home, and at work. It can also be used for purposes of sleep disturbance. When those conducting these covert investigations feel that they have psychologically destroyed the target to where they are near breakdown they will start to use these weapons. They will also use these weapons if targets are not going along with their harassment protocol. Electronic Harassment http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_haras... Michigan Legislature Acknowledges the Existence of "Harmful Electro-Magnetic Devices" http://www.targetedindividuals.com/subliminal-acoustic-man…/

FAKE CREDIBILITY REPORTS

Fake Credibility Reports. fake credibility reports are being used to subtly discredit and attack legitimate websites regarding Organized Gang Stalking, including the Gang Stalking World website. Under the guise of doing good for the community. www.gangstalkingworld.com

FILES

It has been indicated that targets will have warning markers placed against their files. The information is then shared with relatives, store keepers, friends, and the community at large. The files are usually not left behind, but they are used to prejudice and slander individuals against the target. These files can be used to engender the corporation of friends and associates of the targets. The files might have a picture of the target, and information about some alleged crime, incidents, that the target has been flagged for, or is under investigation for. The information is usually very convincing and helps to further get targets harassed by those around them.

GAS LIGHTING

Gas Lighting is a Psychological technique used my members of these groups The purpose of Gas Lighting is to make a victim question his or her sanity. Doing little things to try to make the target think that they are going crazy. Gas Lighting simply is trying to convince someone that they are crazy or "imagining things" Example if you mention Organized Gang Stalking to someone who knows about it and they tell you your crazy or paranoid they ARE Gas Lighting you. The term Gas-Lighting originates from the 1944 film Gaslight. In the movie, the character of Gregory Anton, played by actor Charles Boyer, attempts to drive the character Pauline, played by actress Ingrid Bergman, insane. The phrase Gas-Lighting has come to mean similar actions and behavior, as used in the film, against a victim. 1944 Gaslight staring Ingrid Bergman
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaslight_%281944...

GHOSTING

The term Ghosting refers to the practice of rearranging, or moving, of a victim's home furniture, lawn decorations, desk decorations at work, etc. The purpose of Ghosting is to make a victim question his or her sanity. Ghosting is also designed to make others question the sanity of the victim, especially if the victim attempts to complain of the abuse.

GESTURES

Hand Gestures such as intentionally touching hand to face or bringing fist or hand to face while around person being targeted. Arm Gestures which involves members of these Organized Stalking and Harassment groups repeatedly driving by a targeted victims location or home holding their arms out of vehicle windows, usually in an unnatural awkward low position. As part of the Organized Stalking crime, victims are being daily subjected to and psychologically harassed by manipulated individuals participating in this intentional bizarre Arm Gesture harassment. It is a known fact that the individuals involved in the Organized Stalking and Technological Harassment crime syndicate are also involved in Criminal Racketeering/Sexual Exploitation/Human Trafficking Operations via the criminal utilization of Remote Neural Monitoring satellite technology, where these criminal individuals are illegally profiting (Racketeering) off of the technological Sexual Exploitation of victims. In some cases, these Arm Gestures are being utilized as a male masturbation sexual harassment reference that is designed to sexually harass and degrade targeted victims. It should also be importantly noted that female victims also report being harassed in a similar manner by individuals involved in the harassment by placing their fingers in their mouths while around the victim which is meant to be a female masturbation reference. The fact is the manipulated individuals involved in the Organized Stalking crime repeatedly and deliberately convey things to victims through symbolic references and numbers, which is also an attempt to cause targeted victims to falsely appear to be exhibiting signs of paranoid schizophrenia such as 'delusions of reference' when victims attempt to explain that they are being harassed by individuals holding their arms out of vehicle windows or making other gestures to them. The Arm gesture harassment has been continuously documented by victims and uploaded to the internet.

ILLEGAL SURVEILLANCE

This involves setting up audio and some visual surveillance of the target. Bugging the targets phone. Surveillance in the targets residence Listening to cell phone and hard line conversations. Hacking into their computers and learning all about what the target is doing, sites they frequent. or planting things, This also helps to build a profile of the target, and it's also used for later psychological attacks against the target, via Parroting and Directed Conversations.

Examples Of Illegal Surveillance

Illegal Criminal Electronic Monitoring

Illegal Criminal Phone And Computer Taps

Illegal Criminal Remote Neural Monitoring

MIMICRY

Mimicry or mirroring is a specialized form of harassment in which the stalkers publicly imitate every movement made by the victim. This is trying to copy things in a targets life. Leaving when they do. Dressing like they dress. Throwing out the garbage. Going to the bathroom Doing whatever the target is doing. This is all designed to be psychological warfare, so that the target again feels like they are under observation at all times.

MOBBING

Mobbing is a term that describes "Group Bullying". Of itself, Mobbing is not equated with Gang Stalking. However, Mobbing may be a tactic used by the perpetrators of Gang Stalking. Mobbing http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobbing

NOISE HARASSMENT CAMPAIGN

A Noise Harassment Campaign is an orchestrated effort to produce stress in a victim through prolonged exposure to significant noise levels. A Noise Campaign can range from multiple neighbors routinely playing loud music, individual stalkers with air-horns or fireworks, or organized "repair work" that involves a high level of noise This will include anything from Loud vehicles, Loud mufflers doors slamming above you and below you. Garbage disposal slamming doors, Hammering intentionally slamming car doors loudly, loud stereos, stomping, at specific times, loud coughing, pots slamming, water running, cupboard doors being slammed, fridge motor running all night, power tools, etc.

NUMBER HARASSMENT

Number Harassment is literally the use of numbers to Harass a target and victim, This can include the brainwashed members of these cults driving by a victims home at a certain time, exiting or entering the neighborhood at a certain set time, or performing a Harassment task or skit, at a certain time of the day or night, for the purpose of harassment to the target and victim. The Number Harassment may be done in synchronicity with other members of these cults, For example a member of the cult arrives home at 7:07 in the afternoon and another member of the cult leaves at 7:07 at the same time, The next morning, one of the same members of the cult leaves home at 7:07 followed by another member of the cult. The individuals that belong to these cults are using local police 10 ham radio codes, to harass and to convey harassment related themes to the individual being targeted for years at a time, the only logical explanation that can be drawn as to why these brainwashed cult members are using local police 10 codes to Harass other citizens, is that they have been deluded into thinking that they are somehow police,the idea behind the Number Harassment, is to get the individual being targeted sensitized to certain numbers, so that they can be constantly Harassed by use of these numbers. Most importantly the members of these cults have already been sensitized, conditioned, and brainwashed to these specific numbers, and are constantly looking to their watches and clocks, to see what the time is, in case they have a Harassment skit or order to perform at a specific time of the day or night, that has been passed to them by their criminal leader and organizer via a cell phone text. that's correct these cult members are actually being given a Harassment task and Street Theater Scripts to perform at a certain time of the day for the purpose of Harassment to another individual, despite the fact that the individual being targeted can easily document this Harassment and Cult behavior using a video camera with a date and time stamp, and sue the individuals for damages of Harassment and Emotional Distress.

SENSITIZATION

Sensitization is a psychological term referring to the forced association between a stimuli and a corresponding reaction. Members of these groups use Sensitization to psychologically abuse a victim. For example, if a stalker constantly harasses a victim while wearing a blue baseball cap, then overtime the victim will begin to believe anyone wearing a blue baseball cap is a stalker and is coming to harass. Sensitization This is getting targets sensitive to an everyday stimuli. Eg. Colors, patterns or everyday actions. Eg. Red, stripes, pens, whistles, loud coughing, clapping, waves, keys jingling. Eg. Joe will be mobbed at work and as part of that daily mobbing his coworkers will loudly cough at him every time they harass him by calling him names like loser, worthless, lame, demented. They will slander him and have others as they are slandering him show disgust by glaring and coughing at him. Out in public they will follow him loudly and obnoxiously coughing at him. When he goes to stores they will get others to do the same. After months or years of this, Joe has become sensitive to this stimuli and it can be used to harass him without the names and the glaring looks. The association has been formed because of all the other harassment. Eg. A girl is sexually assaulted and a sock is shoved in her mouth during the assault. To keep her quite or stop her from pressing charges, the assailant, his friends and family will follow her around and throw socks in her path, mention it everywhere she goes and show her their socks every chance they get. She will get the message they are sending. Because of the brutal attack, she and what's happened after she is now sensitized. Sensitization undoubtedly creates an extreme level of fear in a victim, in direct fulfillment of the intentions of the stalkers. Sensitization http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensitization

STREET THEATER

Street Theater is a term used to describe the odd-actions and behaviors that stalkers sometimes neighbors do in public, in an attempt to rile the victim. Such behavior often borders on the extremely bizarre and is aimed at a blurring of the boundaries between reality and fantasy in the minds of the victims. This is running into people that are acting very unusual, or people that are putting on a show or production, known as street theater. Eg. This could be as minor as public rudeness, or people acting out a harassment skit . There will usually be someone near by to see how you react to it. This is again looking for weakness or reactions. If you show an adverse reaction they will try to embellish on this and use it against you later on. Street Theater is Harassment skits done by strangers and neighbors who have been 'recruited' into these Stalking and Harassment groups. Examples of Street Theater: Baiting, Brighting, Color Harassment, Convoys, Directed Conversation, Ghosting, Mimicry, Noise Campaigns, etc.

SYNCHRONIZED HARASSMENT ACTIVITIES

Synchronized activities refers to the synchronized activities done by members of these groups to Harass a target which may include but not limited to neighbors arriving home at the same time or leaving home at the same time, or strangers or neighbors leaving or arriving home at the same time. E.g. One neighbor leaves his or her house at the same time another neighbor arrives home . E.g. 2 A neighbor arrives home and at the exact same time a complete stranger or pedestrian walks by a targets home. This synchronized activity is one of the main techniques used in harassing a target and is repeated. E.g. 3 A target leaves his or her home at the exact same time a neighbor who has been recruited into the harassment leaves their home followed by a airplane or helicopter flying overhead.this synchronized harassment will turn into a pattern and may include the use of numbers such as 2 neighbors arriving home At 3:13 and 2 other neighbors leaves their home at 3:30, the same neighbors arrives back home at 3:43. Synchronized Harassment Activities can be done with almost anything: Neighbors arriving/exiting at the same time aircraft flying overhead as neighbors are leaving or arriving home, Harassment telephone calls made to the targets home just as neighbors who have been recruited into the Harassment are leaving or arriving they key to this is timing and frequency. The main motivation behind Synchronized Harassment Activities is again that if the target complains about this type of Harassment he or she may be perceived as mentally ill.

Sky News: https://news.sky.com/story/lucy-letby-trial-latest-nurse-baby-murders-prosecution-sky-news-blog-12868375
Chester Standard: https://www.chesterstandard.co.uk/news/23543140.live-lucy-letby-trial-may-24---cross-examination-continues/
Chester Standard:
Nicholas Johnson KC, for the prosecution, will now cross-examine Lucy Letby.
He first asks about the 'conspiracy gang' of four doctors, as Letby previously said there was in the Countess of Chester Hospital last Thursday.
Here was our story about it last Thursday: https://www.chesterstandard.co.uk/news/23532467.letby-gang-four-consultants-pinned-baby-deaths/
He clarifies a minor matter about it.

Child E

Mr Johnson KC asks about the case of Child E.
Letby says: "Possibly yes" to the question if there was medical incompetence that led to Child E's death, in that the night shift team "could have reacted sooner" to the child's bleed.
She says once Child E was bleeding at 10pm, a transfusion could have been made sooner.
She says the "collective team" were responsible.

Letby says it was "an important thing to know" that plumbing issues were a potential contributory factor to the decline of babies' health in the unit.
She said "raw sewage" would come out of the sinks in nursery room 1, as flowback from another unit.
Mr Johnson asks if Letby ever filled in a Datix form for that. Letby says she did not.
​ From Sky News:
Letby then says it is an "important factor to note there were often plumbing issues within the unit".
Letby is asked what this has to do with the death of Child E - or any of the children involved.
She says there was "raw sewage coming out of the sinks and running onto the floor in the intensive care unit".
She says this could have had an effect as well as staff being unable to properly wash their hands.
​ Chester Standard:
Mr Johnson says Letby did fill in a Datix form for Child E.
The form is shown to the court. It is dated August 4, 2015, at 5.53am, which is when the form was signed and filed.
It is classed as a 'clinical incident'.
The risk grading was 'high potential harm'. Letby says she is "not sure about that", as it also says 'Actual harm: None (No harm caused).
It refers to the death of Child E at 1.40am. 'Description: Unexpected death following GI bleed. Full resus unsuccessful. Time of death 01:40.'
The baby's history is recorded in the events leading up to his death. It was filled in by the incident review group panel.
Letby's input on the panel is reporting the incident on the first page of the nine-page report.

Letby is asked if she remembers sending a text message to Jennifer Jones-Key saying it was "too Q word" on August 2, 2015. Letby says she cannot recall, but accepts that would be something she could send.
The 'Q word' is 'quiet', the court hears.
Letby says "there is always something to do", but "sometimes they can be long nights if you haven't got many babies".
She says she enjoyed being busy "when it was managed".

Letby is asked why she, and not Child E's designated nurse Melanie Taylor, signed a correction to a prescription for Child E. Letby says it's standard practice for two nurses to administer prescriptions, and corrections on the form are not based on seniority. She agrees she was keen to raise issues if they needed correcting.
NJ: "Had you fallen out with Melanie Taylor by this stage?"
LL: "No."
Letby denies she had fallen out with anyone.
She agrees she had confidence in her clinical competencies.
NJ: "Do you agree you were a cut above some other nurses, including Mel?"
LL: "No."

A nursing note for Child E from the evening of August 3, 2015 is shown. Letby agrees he was progressing well, although he needed insulin.
Letby agrees Child E at this stage showed no sign of gastro-intenstinal problems.
A rota is shown to the court, showing Letby was the desingated nurse for Child E and Child F in room 1. No other babies/nurses were allocated in that room that night.
Letby is asked if there was anything wrong with this arrangement. Letby: "No."
Mr Johnson says when Letby was giving evidence to Mr Myers, she said when the mother arrived at the unit, she was "bringing milk". Letby says she does not recall from her memory. Mr Johnson says that was what she said on May 5.
Letby: "I can't recall right here right now."
Letby says she cannot remember it specifically, but accepted that version of events. "I don't have any clear memory."
Mr Johnson refers to the transcript from that day, in which Letby told Benjamin Myers KC she believed Child E's mother had arrived at the unit bringing expressed breast milk.
Letby says: "I said 'I think' she brought expressed breast milk." She says it's the same thing.

Mr Johnson asks about the significance of 9pm that night. Letby says: "I don't know what you mean."
Mr Johnson says it's the mother's evidence that she knew Child E was due a feed at 9pm, so came down to the unit for that feed.
Mr Johnson says Letby's recollection that Child E's mother brought milk with her fixes the time as being 9pm.
Letby: "I don't agree."
Mr Johnson asks about the 16ml 'mucky aspirate', which Letby agrees was taken before 9pm.
Mr Johnson asks where the milk for the 9pm feed was coming from.
Letby says the milk would come from the milk fridge in nursery room 1. She says she does "not remember" where the milk would come from for this feed specifically.
No feed was recorded for 9pm.
Mr Johnson says the SHO did not record no feed for 9pm, having said in evidence that would be the sort of thing he would record for a baby.
Letby says sometimes doctors don't record such notes
​ The same exchange from Sky News:
On 3 August 2015, Child E was recorded as making very good progress. He would be dead less than 24 hours later.
"I wouldn't say he was very well, but yes he [was] making progress with his feeds," Letby tells the court.
The twins were the only occupants of nursery one - and Letby was the only nurse in this specific room. All other babies were elsewhere being looked after by other staff.
"You had the nursery to yourself?" Nick Johnson, prosecuting, asks.
"I was the only nurse allocated babies, yes," Letby replies.
Child E's mother brought expressed breast milk to the unit to feed her children - Letby is now asked about what happened when she appeared.
She says she does not remember. Nick Johnson then reads a transcript from her questioning by her defence lawyer, Ben Myers, from last week.
Myers: Do you recall why she had come down?
Letby: I don't recall specifically no.
Myers: Did she have anything with her?
Letby: I think she brought breast milk down.
He asks why Letby was unable to answer the question a few minutes ago.
The insinuation is the mother brought the milk at 9pm - at the time it was believed Child E was already bleeding, and when he was due a feed.
Letby says she believes Child E's mother came down later.
Letby says she spoke to an on-call doctor about omitting his 9pm feed. But the prosecution is suggesting this "conversation never happened".

Letby is asked why the 'large vomit of fresh blood' is not recorded on the observation chart for 10pm. Letby says she recorded it in her nursing notes, and Dr David Harkness was present when it happened.
Letby is asked why she waited over an hour for the observation of the aspirate to be raised with the doctor.
LL: "I don't recall speaking to a doctor", but Letby recalls speaking to an SHO on the phone about it.
Letby says there was no observation of blood prior to 10pm.
NJ: "Was [Child E's mother] telling the truth about you?"
LL: "In what sense?"
NJ: "In the sense of what you said to her - when she says she came down to see her boys, she saw [Child E] with blood around his lips."
Child E's mother's illustration of what she says was present on Child E's lips is shown to the court.
NJ: "Did you ever see anything like that?"
LL: "[Child E] did have blood like that - after 2200."
Letby adds "there was no blood prior to that."
Letby accepts she was alone in room 1 when the mother came down. She says that would have been around the handover time at 8pm.
NJ: "You are not telling the truth about that, are you?"
LL: "Yes I am."
Letby says she does not accept causing an injury to harm Child E. She denies at any stage 'having a fall out' with Child E's mother.
Letby says she has never seen a baby with blood like that around her mouth in her career. She agrees it was "wholly exceptional".
She denies telling Child E's mother the cause of the bleed was via insertion of the naso-gastrinal tube. She says the insertion could cause "a small amount of blood" from the tube.

Letby is asked if she recalls telling police in the case of Child N that NG Tubes can cause bleeding. Letby says it does cause blood, but not in the mouth.
Mr Johnson says Letby has said that previously it can cause oral bleeding. Letby: "Ok."
She denies saying that happened in this case.
She says "medically speaking", "any baby" could have a bleed like the sort seen by Child E.
A text message from Letby to Jennifer Jones-Key is shown: "...He had massive haemhorrhage could have happened to any baby x"
Letby says "at the time" it was thought Child E could have NEC, and "any baby could have had the condition [Child E] had."

Letby is asked to look at her defence statement.
She says Child E's mother had come down with some expressed milk. The statement is dated February 2021.
Letby, in her statement, said "This may have been later than 2100".
Mr Johnson says Letby is now ruling out a time before 2200.
Letby says she cannot say it definitively, but there was no blood prior to 2200.
Letby is asked why she did not mention the vomit when blood went down the NG Tube in her defence statement.
Mr Johnson says Letby is lying by adding additional detail afterwards. Letby denies this.
Mr Johnson asks about the 'mucky aspirate' for Child E, asking if that is 16ml of 'bile', as per Letby's defence statement. Letby says there was bile in the mucky aspirate.
Mr Johnson says there is a difference between 'bile-stained' and 'bile'. Letby accepts 'there was 16ml of bile' in her defence statement is "an error".
She is asked why she put that in, in those terms.
LL: "I don't know."
Letby says this is a clarification of her earlier statement.
NJ: "You are lying, aren't you?"
LL: "No."
The defence statement also refers to 'blood in the nappy' for Child E after he died. Mr Johnson says if that has been heard in her evidence. Letby says she cannot recall.
Letby says it is written in her nursing notes, and nothing was done about it as Child E was deceased by that time.
Letby is asked to look at her nursing notes.
​ Sky News:
Letby is asked as to why her case "has changed" since she gave a full statement to the police. A number of details, the prosecution claims, now contradict what she is saying in court.
"You are lying, aren't you Lucy Letby," Nick Johnson asks, not for the first time referring to her by her full name.
"No," Letby replies.
She is then asked about a statement she made claiming there was blood in Child E's nappy after his death.
She says she wrote something about this in her nursing notes.
The prosecution then hands her a copy of her nursing notes - a short break is called so Letby can reread her notes.
Before the break, Letby was handed a copy of her nursing notes from the night Child E died.
She previously claimed she had recorded in her notes there was blood in his nappy. Letby now tells the court her notes show she did not write anything about blood in Child E's nappy.
"You knew that wasn't true," Nick Johnson, prosecuting, asks.
"No, I couldn't recall my notes specifically at that time."
The prosecution claims Letby has repeatedly falsified medical notes - this being another example of how her recollection of events has changed.
​ Chester Standard:
Mr Johnson says Letby's nursing notes for Child E, as read by Letby during the break, do not record blood in the nappy.
Letby says she could not recall her notes specifically at this time.
Mr Johnson reads about what other medical staff observed following Child E's collapse.
Dr David Harkness recorded, for Child E's observations following the collapse, 'kind of strange purple patches that appeared on the outside of his tummy'. Letby says it was purple, but not patches.
Letby said the other parts were 'more pale' than the pink described by Dr Harkness.
Dr Harkness said he'd only ever seen it before with Child A.
Letby disagrees. She says it was "not the same".
Asked to explain the differences between the two, Letby says it was a "solid block of purpleness" for Child E, and a "more mottled look" for Child A.
Letby agrees it was over the abdomen, but disagrees the purple patches moved around.
Mr Johnson reads through another doctor's observations, who said she had not seen the discolouration, but Dr Harkness was "animated" when he was describing what he had seen to her.
Letby says she was not there for any conversation between the two of them.

Letby is asked to read her retrospective nursing note for Child E, which described Child E's collapse and subsequent decline until he died in his parents' arms at 1.40am.
The note would have been made with reference to medical notes, Letby tells the court.
Letby is asked to look at an observation chart and a blood gas chart.
Letby says when things are going on, it would be standard practice to write, also, on the back of handover sheets or spare bits of paper.
Letby is asked about a "purple band" of discolouration she had recorded for Child E. In her police interview, Letby accepts struggling to recall the size of it at that time.
Mr Johnson says for May 5's evidence, Letby said it was a "red horizontal banding across his abdomen", and only on the abdomen.
Letby agrees with Dr Harkness it was on the abdomen, but does not agree with Dr Harkness's observation it was patches.

Letby is asked to look at a chart showing aspirates for Child E, which included 'minimal aspirates' prior to the collapse.
Letby agrees that showed no signs of gastro-intenstinal issues for Child E, until the 9pm reading of 16ml 'mucky' aspirate, in her writing.
Letby "cannot recall" why Belinda Simcock had written in the 10pm aspirates column. Letby "assumes" the blood came out following those 10pm readings.
"Why was Belinda there at all?"
"I can't say for sure."
Letby says Belinda had come to assist for the 16ml aspirate observed an hour earlier.
Letby says she "cannot say" why Belinda was carrying out observations at that time.
Letby says she "cannot explain" why the blood aspirate is not recorded in the aspirate chart, but is in her nursing notes.
Letby is asked to read a note on the schedule for Child E, in which it is said Belinda Simcock gave a feed to a child in room 2 at 10pm.
Letby says she cannot recall why Belinda Simcock had come to room 1 for the 10pm readings.
Mr Johnson asks if Belinda Simcock was brought in to sign paperwork at the time of the collapse to cover for Letby's actions. Letby denies this.
Letby said Belinda Simcock had carried out the drip readings for Child E, and signed it, as specific information like that is not passed on from one nurse to another.

Letby is asked if she recalls who rang Child E's mother when Child E collapsed.
She said it would have been a "collective decision" to contact the midwifery staff.
Letby accepts Child E's mother made a phone call at 9.11pm, but does not accept the evidence of the conversation about Child E 'bleeding from his mouth' and there was 'nothing to worry about'.
Benjamin Myers KC, for Letby's defence, rises to say Letby cannot say what was or was not said in a phone call she was not part of.
NJ: "You killed [Child E], didn't you?"
LL: "No."
NJ: "Why in the aftermath were you so obsessed with [Child E and F's mother]?"
LL: "I don't think I was obsessed."
Letby says she "often" thought of Child E and Child F.
Mr Johnson says the name of Child E and F's mother was searched for nine times, and the name of the father once.
Letby said she searched "to see how [Child F] was doing."
One of the searches was when Child F was on the neonatal unit.
Letby said the other searches were made after Child F had left the unit, so "collectively" what she had said was correct.
Mr Johnson says Letby was looking for the family's reaction. Letby disagrees.
One of the searches is on Christmas Day. "Didn't you have better things to do?"
Letby said the family were on her mind.

Child G

Mr Johnson tells the court he is now looking at the case of Child G. He will go 'out of sequence', chronologically, and deal with Child F at a later point.
Letby says she cannot recall what Child G's due date would have been [Child G having been born at a gestational age of 23 weeks and 6 days on May 31, with the date of one of the events "not standing out" to her.
A message from Letby's phone to a colleague: "Due date today!"
Letby says she knew at the time [September 21, 2015].
Letby says the date of the event for Child G was "a coincidence".
Letby says Child G had "extreme prematurity" which had complications requiring additional care.
Letby disagrees that Child G was "fine" by the time she came to the Countess of Chester Hospital, saying she had a number of ongoing issues.
​ From Sky News:
Child G was born extremely premature, at a different hospital, before being moved to the Countess of Chester.
Letby initially claims she did not remember Child G's due date.
But a September 2015 text shown to the court says: "Due date today!"
"By the time she arrived at Chester [Hospital], she was fine, wasn't she?" Nick Johnson, barrister for the prosecution, asks.
"I don't agree she was fine, she had a number of ongoing issues," Letby replies.
The prosecution says Child G was due to go home when she first collapsed - she was in nursery four, the one for the lowest dependency babies.
Letby disputes this.
"Are you exaggerating her problems?" Mr Johnson asks.
"No," Letby replies.
She says Child G was still being tube fed and needed a higher level of care. But the prosecution asks Letby what specific problems the infant may have had that meant she wasn't due to go home imminently.
"As of the 7 September, what were the unusual problems that Child G had?" Mr Johnson asks.
"I can't answer that," says Letby.
​ Chester Standard:
Letby denies that Child G was ready to go home by the date of the first event on September 7, saying babies in the special care room, nursery 4, can still be there for several weeks.
Letby says Child G had a number of previous problems including relating to feeding, and had sepsis.
Letby says Child G was on oxygen and had feeding issues by September 7, 2015.
Mr Johnson asks Letby to look at Child G's nursing records for her days leading up to her projectile vomit. Letby agrees there is nothing "unusual" in those days.
Feeding charts are shown for Child G for September 5 and 6. Child G is being fed expressed breast milk via the NGT or bottle. Letby agrees the picture is looking good for Child G from these charts.
Mr Johnson says the feed at 11pm on September 6 would not have been done twice by mistake. Letby says she has never suggested that has happened.
Letby agrees the observations for Child G before 2am on September 7 are "good".
​ From Sky News
Letby has claimed Child G still needed oxygen - but charts from the time show this was removed two days prior.
"I know she was back on it by the 7 September," Letby says.
"Of course, she was because by that point she had brain damage," prosecution lawyer Mr Johnson replies.
He then asks: "Would you agree, all the signs on the 5th are good?"
"Yes."
Letby also agrees Child G's vitals were "good" the following day.
"Do you agree the picture shown by the data is a good one?" Mr Johnson asks.
"Yes."
Child G first collapsed as she celebrated a particular life milestone - which the staff had been planning to mark.
A text Letby sent to a colleague after the first collapse is show to the court.
It said: "Awful isn't it. We'd all been sat at desk at start of night making banner".
​ Chester Standard:
NJ: "You knew this was day 100 of [Child G's] life, didn't you?"
LL: "Yes."
NJ: "It was a big day for her."
LL: "Yes."
Letby agrees she and other nurses would celebrate 100-day-old babies on the unit, and a banner had been prepared to mark the occasion.
A staffing rota for the night shift of September 6-7 is shown to the court. Letby is in room 1 as the designated nurse for one baby, and Ailsa Simpson is the designated nurse for one other baby in room 1. A nursing colleague is in room 2 as the designated nurse for Child G.
Letby rules out staffing levels or staff incompetence as a contributory factor in Child G's death.
Asked if anyone had made a mistake, Letby says "potentially", Child G had been overfed by a nursing colleague, but that was not what she was saying had happened.
Letby: "I can't say for definite that didn't happen. I'm not saying she did do that, but it is a possibility."
Letby says it is a "possibility" the amount of milk was mismeasured when calculating the feed.
NJ: "Are you suggesting it's a realistic possibility?"
LL: "No."
​ From Sky News:
Nick Johnson, the prosecution barrister, is continuing to question Letby's claims her colleague (who cannot be named for legal reasons) overfed Child G.
"To have fed Child G twice as much presumably would have taken twice as long?" Mr Johnson asks.
"Yes," Letby replies.
Letby says the experts presented evidence of overfeeding.
"How would they know? Which experts?" Mr Johnson asks.
Letby takes a sip of her water and does not reply to this question, staring straight ahead in silence.
Mr Johnson then asks about the scene when Letby and her colleagues discovered Child G had vomited onto the floor.
​ Chester Standard:
Nicholas Johnson KC continues to cross-examine Lucy Letby in the case of Child G.
Letby says it was a "possibility" Child G was overfed by a nursing colleague, but adds: "I don't believe that happened."
Mr Johnson says to overfeed Child G twice as much would have taken twice as long.
Letby says 45mls of milk feed would take around 15-20 minutes.
Letby refers to medical experts Dr Evans and Dr Bohin that overfeeding was a possibility.
Mr Johnson describes what Letby had seen, including that Child G's abdomen was "firm and red", with the sight of that and vomit on the floor leaving her "shocked".
"That was a clear recollection you had last week, giving evidence?"
Letby says that happened at approximately 2.15am.
Her nursing note is shown to the court: '[Child G] had large projectile milky vomit at 0215. Continued to vomit++. 45mls milk obtained from NG tube with air++. Abdomen noted to be distended and discoloured. Colour improved few minutes after aspirating tube, remained distended but soft...to go nil by mouth with IV fluids...'
Letby says she disagrees with the evidence of Dr Sandie Bohin, saying a pH reading of 4 can be obtained from milk aspirated from the stomach

A photo of Child G's cot, with circles marking where the vomit fell outside of the cot, is shown to the court.
Letby is asked to look at her police interview for Child G.
Letby said it was in her cot.
NJ: "This was an extraordinary vomit, the likes of which you had not seen in your career."
LL: "I have, but not in neonates."
Letby says it's an "oversight" she had not mentioned the extent of the vomit in police interview.
Letby says Child G was "still vomiting" when she went in to see Child G with Ailsa Simpson.
NJ: "You were not there with her, were you?"
LL: "Yes I was."
Letby is asked to look at her police interview. She says at the time of the vomit she did not remember where she was, then went into the room where Child G was.
Letby is asked why there is no mention of Ailsa Simpson in the interview. Letby says she was describing her own response.
The neonatal schedule is shown to the court for Child G.
Mr Johnson says Letby deliberately misstated the time at which Child G had her vomit [at 2.15am], and says it was much closer to 2am. Letby disagrees.

Sky News:
The prosecution now says Letby "misrepresented" the time Child G vomited - which she says was 2.15pm.
Letby claims she and a colleague (who cannot be named for legal reasons) were at the nursing station at the time Child G collapsed.
But notes from the unit show this colleague was feeding a different baby at 2.15pm - and the length of time it would have taken for her to defrost and warm that baby's milk would have made it impossible to be where Letby says she was.
This colleague also says she was called to Child G at 2.35pm.
The prosecution says Letby changed the time to try to point suspicion in the direction of the colleague, who was her "best friend".
"No," Letby says.
"You deliberately overfed her," says Mr Johnson.
"No, that's not true," Letby says.
​ Chester Standard
Mr Johnson refers to Dr Alison Ventress's notes 'Called to v [Child G] at 2.35'.
He says that is an accurate time, and Letby had misstated the time so Letby's colleague could instead be blamed for overfeeding, and Letby overfed Child G.
Letby: "That's not true."
Mr Johnson asks where the air came from before 'Neopuffing'. Letby says she cannot say without looking at the nursing notes.
Letby's note: '...45mls milk obtained from NG Tube with air++...'
The note does not mention Neopuffing. Letby says that is "an oversight".
Mr Johnson: "The truth is that you injected [Child G] with milk and air, didn't you?"
Letby: "No."

Letby is asked to look at her second police interview for Child G.
In it, Letby said air had got in through the feeding syringe.
She tells the court it had been suggested to her as a possibility.
Mr Johnson refers to Child G's 3.15am collapse, with Dr Alison Ventress recalling 'blood-stained fluid coming up'.
Letby denies inserting something into Child G's airway and/or causing the deterioration.
​ Sky News:
Child G's attacks had "echoes" of the deaths of babies C and E, prosecuting barrister Nick Johnson says to Lucy Letby.
Mr Johnson: "You inserted something into Child G's airway, didn't you?"
Letby: "No."
Mr Johnson: "You caused the bleeding, as you did with many of these children."
Letby: "No, that's not true."
​ Chester Standard
Dr Ventress and a doctor colleague said '100ml of aimilk' had been aspirated from Child G following the 6.05am desaturation.
Letby says she does not recall the 100mls coming out, and asks if it was documented.
Dr Alison Ventress's note is shown to the court. It includes '...NG aspirated as abdo appeared v large ~100mls aspirated...'
Letby: "I don't know how the air got there. It's after Neopuffing."
She accepts the note as an account of what happened.
Letby is shown nursing notes made for the following day shift by a colleague. Letby agrees there are no signs Child G had a build-up of fluid or air from the notes made.
​ Sky News:
After Letby finished her shift, she returned to the neonatal unit later that day - she claims to sign some paperwork.
"You went to visit Child G didn't you?" Nick Johnson, the prosecution barrister, asks.
"I didn't visit Child G, no. I went to do what I needed to do," she says, adding that she was sorting some documentation.
"Were you looking for an opportunity to finish her off?" Mr Johnson asks.
"No," Letby says.
Mr Johnson asks Letby about a statement from Child G's father that, on 7 September, she was no longer the same baby.
"I can't comment on that," Letby says - saying that nobody knows their own child like the parents.
​ Chester Standard: ​

Child G, 2nd Charge

Mr Johnson refers to the second bout of vomiting on September 21, 2015. Letby said she thought she recalled the mother was there as it was during visiting time.
Letby had said she did not believe it was an emergency, and did not recall Child G "going blue".
Asked if she agrees with Child G's father that Child G was "not the same" after the first deterioration, Letby replies: "I can't comment on that, nobody knows their babies like the parents do."
Mr Johnson asks why Letby was giving Child G the 9.15am feed on September 21.
Letby: "She wasn't awake and she was due her immunisations."
Letby says, "feeding wise", she had no concerns with Child G. She said there was an ongoing issue with Child G's low temperature.

For that September 21 day shift, the court is shown the rota, and Lucy Letby was the designated nurse for Child G that day in room 4, along with two other babies.
Lucy Letby was also responsible for a fourth baby 'rooming in with parents'.
NJ: "Did it annoy you that you were in nursery room 4?"
LL: "Not at all."
Mr Johnson says that Letby, when giving evidence, aspirating can interrupt digestion. Letby said when fully aspirating, that can happen.
She tells the court on this occasion, NGT feeds would be preferable for babies receiving immunisations as they can be quite unwell after them and may need rest.

The court is shown a feeding chart for Child G. A 40ml feed of expressed breast milk was given at 9.15am, signed by Letby.
After the feed, there were 30ml 'two projectile milk vomits', Letby noted. Child G also had a large bowel motion, 'loose, watery green', and there was a 'review by Drs'. The note is signed by Letby. She says she cannot recall which doctors carried out the review from that note.
The 9am reading is recorded on the observation chart for the temperature. Mr Johnson suggests there are two 'dots' in that column recording temperatures. Letby says she cannot recall what the line is below the dot.
NJ: "Did you go back and cook the charts to make it look like [Child G] was declining?"
LL: "No."
Letby says both dots are "in the normal range".
Letby: "I haven't misdocumented anything." Two dots are recorded in the 3am column [when Letby was not on shift], and Letby suggests someone else has misdcoumented.

Letby's notes for that day are shown to the court.
They include... 'at 1015 x2 large projectile milky vomits, brief self resolving apnoea and desaturation to 35% with colour loss. NG tube aspirated - 30mls undigested milk discarded. Abdomen distended, soft. Drs asked to review. Temperature remains low, tachycardiac >18bpm since vomit.'
Mr Johnson says it's "not an innocent coincidence" that Child G deteriorated one hour after being fed by Letby.
Letby: "Yes it is."
Letby is asked to look at her defence statement. It included: "I did not shout for help as I did not think this was an emergency."
Letby is asked if she sought to minimise what had happened. LL: "No."
Mr Johnson refers to Dr Peter Fielding's note. It says: "[Child G] had an episode @~10.20 where she had 2 projectile vomits witnessed by nursing staff...nurse called for help."
Letby denies 'minimising' events, saying this was a "self-correcting" event for Child G.

Letby sent in a text to her work colleague: '...looked rubbish when I took over this morning and then she vomited at 9 and I got her screened'
Mr Johnson says that text has two lies in it. Letby accepts she got the time wrong but says she was not asked about Child G's colour. Mr Johnson says Child G was doing well.
Mr Johnson shows a nursing colleague's note from the previous night shift and Letby's nursing note from that day shift. "Any suggestion [Child G] was looking 'rubbish'?"
Letby says Child G looked 'pale', but didn't use "rubbish", in clinical notes.
Letby denies deliberately falsifying times or making up negative observations for Child G.
Letby denies "passing off responsibility to other people", as suggested by Mr Johnson.
NJ: "In fact, you are the person causing all these problems."
LL: "No I'm not."

Child G, charge 3

Mr Johnson asks Letby to look at her defence statement for the 3.30pm incident for Child G.
Letby said she looked round the screen and saw Child G's monitor was off, she was alone, and behind the screen.
Mr Johnson asks if that was correct.
Letby: "Yes."
The statement adds Letby wanted the matter of Child G being left alone on the procedural trolley behind the screens by a doctor ["to be reported" seems to be missing from Chester Standard], but a nursing colleague did not want to report this.
Letby agrees it was "an innocent coincidence" that she was the only nurse in the room at this time.
Mr Johnson said Letby had told in evidence that Letby was preoccupied with other babies in the room she was caring for, while doctors tried to cannulate Child G behind screens "for some time".

The court is shown a neonatal schedule for Child G and other babies for September 21. Letby is recorded as having three duties for other babies in the 90 minutes prior to Child G's collapse. One of the three events was for a differently designated nurse's baby in room 2.
Letby says that does not mean she was not preoccupied with the babies, and may have been dealing with their families or other duties.
Letby is asked about the event and her looking behind the screen, that Child G was 'dusky, blue and not breathing'.
Letby is asked if that was true. "Yes."
Letby agrees she picked Child G up, put her in a cot and Neopuffed her. She says the Neopuff equipment would not stretch to the trolley.
A nursing colleague "froze" and went to get a separate nursing colleague.
Letby said, in evidence, she was "very concerned" by what had happened.
Mr Johnson says one thing not mentioned in the defence statement was Letby moving Child G from the trolley to the cot. He asks why Letby had not mentioned that. Letby says she cannot say.
Mr Johnson says Letby "took advantage of a situation that presented itself". Letby: "No."

Mr Johnson says when the cannulation process was taking place, Letby must have been in the room. Letby says she would not have been there all the time.
One of the charts is shown for a baby that Letby was looking after, with the chart requiring readings that took 'about 5 minutes' to make.
Letby says she was "in and out of the nursery all day", on activities that did not require being cotside. She says she does not recall "at any point" being told by doctors they had finished with the cannulation process for Child G.
Letby says it would have been "up to the doctors" to remove the screens and make sure Child G was safely back in her cot following the cannulation.

Child H

Mr Johnson moves on to the case of Child H. Letby says she does recall Child H, due to the chest drains that were put in place.
Letby said chest drains had to be couriered from Arrowe Park Hospital, as it was "unacceptable" they didn't have sufficient supplies at the Countess of Chester Hospital. Mr Johnson asks if Letby filled in a Datix form for that. Letby says she does not recall.
Letby is asked about the text message she sent to Yvonne Griffiths on September 26, 2015 about the "not so positive comments that have been made recently", with regard to Letby and colleague Shelley Tomlins working in room 1, over their relative lack of experience.
Letby says she cannot recall which nurses, specifically, had been making those comments, but they were band 6 nurses. Letby agrees this message followed events for Child H.
Mr Johnson refers to the staffing rota for September 25-26. Letby says it was not the night staff who were making the comments. Mr Johnson asks if it was the day staff, why did they allocate Child H to Letby? Letby replies the comments had come in recent days prior to this.
Letby, in her defence statement, questioned how familiar the doctors were with chest drains.
Letby, when questioned on this, says this would be non-consultants.
In her defence statement, Letby said she could not recall the specific details of Child H's collapses.

Letby is asked to refer to her defence statement, in which she said her memory for both nights when Child H's collapses "merged into one". Letby added she was also looking after a severely disabled baby.
Letby now accepts the disabled baby was born later in the shift.
Letby tells the court staffing levels were not a contributory factor in Child H's collapses.
Letby said she would "question whether the [chest] drains were securely put in" for Child H, as a potential contributory factor in Child H's collapses.
Letby accepts Child H was born in a good condition, and that she recovered quickly.
She tells the court she cannot comment on her interpretation of the security of the chest drains, from her observations.
From Sky News:
Letby has previously said she was looking after "another severely disabled baby" at the time Child H first collapsed.
But paperwork from the unit shows the severely disabled baby in question was born later in the shift.
When asked if medical incompetence contributed to the infant's collapse, Letby says she is not sure.
But she says she questions "if some of the drains were securely put in".
Nick Johnson, for the prosecution, asks: "Do you agree that Child H was born in good condition?"
"I can't comment on that," Letby replies.
Medical notes shown to the court indicate this was the case.
Court is adjourned for the day

No experience necessary for the laborer custodial or maintenance mechanic positions. It helps on the interview but you can surely think of maintenance related experience to relay for an interview. Based on fixing things around your house, the car etc. Always mention working safely.

Pro tip: You can apply for any job that has an exam opening and the test is administered local to yourself. Make sure you're serious and score decently; you can turn down the job offer. Keep a physical copy of your exam score, I believe they are good for two years.
The reason is: These job postings can be posted externally at capacity for testing, meaning they will not allow you to take the exam if they have enough qualified applicants. However, if you have a test score on the books, you are a qualified applicant.

Explanation of MVO/TTO to save time:
MVO= CDL B Can only drive box trucks on public roads, can drive anything for moves on postal property.
TTO= CDL A Can drive anything.

USPS provides the training. (Maintenance jobs at least. TTO and management...GOOD LUCK)

You don't have to be crazy to work here. We'll train you. Everything but proper email usage.

2023.05.23 18:31 OscaraWilde HOA repairing houses and not giving (real) notice of when extremely loud construction will happen - is this legal?

Hi all,
I live in NJ and am renting a house that is owned by our landlord but is in an HOA.
The HOA has decided to do some renovations to all of the houses in the area. In August, we received a notice that this would be happening, as well as a "projected timeline" that said that the repairs would be ongoing starting from then and potentially up to a year or so.
The project has several phases, and each phase only takes ~1-2 weeks for each house, but they do each phase for all of the houses and then circle back for the next, such that, for the vast majority of this time, our house (or any individual house) is not undergoing active construction.
We were given an initial start date for the first phase, which was about six weeks ago. That was mostly accurate, and so I was able to make arrangements for the work. The construction is extremely disruptive: it's extremely loud banging on the front of the building, near the windows, that literally shakes the whole house. I had to take down all the pictures/wall decor in that area; move my car out of the garage and find and use street parking for the duration; arrange for my cat to be kept elsewhere, as after Day 1 it was clear that she was traumatized by the huge amount of noise; and arrange to work elsewhere (I sometimes work from home and 100% could not do that during this).
This morning, apparently Phase 2 has started on our building. I woke up to the same enormous racket. I don't have arrangements in place for the above and don't know what I'm going to do. And, frankly, I'm pissed. I feel that we should have been given notice for this kind of enormous disruption.
Technically, the HOA did give us that letter that said that work would be ongoing during this whole year. But this seems like a spirit/letter of the law thing. Surely they can't just block out an arbitrarily long amount of time, not use 99% of it for work, and then do it whenever they feel like it without any more specific notice?
I have written to them before asking for more specific timelines as well as more specific information (eg before phase 1 I asked if the windows would be removed such that the house was open to the air, because it was still cold outside and I wanted to know if the house temperature would be affected). In all cases, they have given me prompt replies, but totally uninformative ones (they tell me to talk to the crew they've hired to do the work, with no way to contact them; the workers at my house themselves
Do I have a legal leg to stand on here? Can I tell them that they need to give me an actual timeline and report them to someone if not?
Any help appreciated!
