East Chicago ends sanctuary city law after AG Rokita files suit
A northwestern Indiana city is now following state law banning sanctuary city policies and no longer facing a lawsuit from Attorney General Todd Rokita.
On Tuesday, Rokita announced his office has voluntarily withdrawn its lawsuit against East Chicago after officials there last week repealed the city’s “Welcoming City Ordinance.” The 2017 city law prohibited its agencies and employees from investigating an individual’s citizenship or immigration status or aiding another office’s inquiry into one without a court order.
Rokita filed the dismissal paperwork on Monday, three weeks after he filed the lawsuit in Lake Superior Court. That suit came after Rokita warned officials in East Chicago and other Indiana cities and counties earlier this year that his office claimed to have laws or policies in place that protect undocumented immigrants from facing removal.
Those letters were spurred by a law the Indiana General Assembly passed earlier this year. That law empowers the attorney general’s office to compel communities to abide by the state’s statute regarding sanctuary city ordinances and policies.
Last Wednesday, East Chicago Common Council members voted to repeal the old law. The one-page document stated that the city “remains committed to upholding” both the U.S. and Indiana constitutions as well as federal and state laws. Further, “the City has determined that (The Welcoming City Ordinance) is not effective or necessary for the protection of the rights of residents and visitors nor to ensure the health and safety of” those individuals.
East Chicago Mayor Anthony Copeland signed it into law on Friday.
Rokita said his office is satisfied now that the town 25 miles southeast of Chicago on the shores of Lake Michigan has agreed to adhere to state law.
“This is a big win for hardworking Hoosiers and legal immigrants who came to our great nation the right way,” he added.
The state still has one lawsuit ongoing with a community that it claims still has policies to protect the undocumented. Days after taking East Chicago to court, Rokita filed a suit against Monroe County Sheriff Ruben Marte and his department.
Marte’s department in Monroe County, home to Bloomington and Indiana University, has policies in place, Rokita said that block county personnel from aiding immigration agents in investigations and release suspected illegal immigrants into the community rather than keep them detained after their scheduled date of release.
“We will continue exercising our new enforcement authority by pushing forward with our lawsuit against Monroe County officials over their unlawful immigration policy and evaluating other local units of government that refuse to follow the law,” Rokita said.

Comptroller Nieshalla and Treasurer Elliott Applaud Pension Plan’s Fast Action to Divest Assets from China 🇨🇳
STATEHOUSE – Indiana State Comptroller Elise Nieshalla and Treasurer Daniel Elliott offer their praise for the speedy action taken by the Indiana Public Retirement System (INPRS) to divest assets from China. Both Comptroller Nieshalla and Treasurer Elliot are INPRS board members. In 2023, Indiana became the first state to enact a law, Senate Enrolled Act 268, requiring the public pension system to divest within five years from “any investment that is domiciled, issued, incorporated or listed in the People’s Republic of China or the Chinese Communist Party.”
The law passed both chambers with unanimous, bipartisan support. As of July 1, 2024, just one year later, the pension plan has divested 100 percent of the $1.2 billion investments in Chinese entities. “China is one of the foremost threats against our country’s national security, and INPRS has nobly exceeding the parameters set forth in the law by divesting Hoosier’s pension dollars from China ASAP,” Comptroller Nieshalla said. “By divesting from China and focusing on investments in countries that value the principles of democracy, capitalism and freedom, we are safeguarding the best financial interest of Hoosiers and our nation,” said Treasurer Elliott. Both Comptroller Nieshalla and Treasurer Elliott commend Senators Chris Garten, Aaron Freeman and Travis Holdman who authored SEA 268, and the Indiana General Assembly for passing this necessary common-sense legislation.

FREE ENERGY!!!!
AETHER was the free energy produced by the earth and provided to Evansville residents. Look at these two existing buildings in VANDERBURGH County. Have you ever really looked at the buildings? The “TELSA Energy of the late 1800’s powered the city of Evansville and worldwide for FREE. Those “lighting rods on the top of Homes or those andirons in fire less “fire places” were conduits of the aether energy to heat, cool, and illuminate the homes and businesses.
In the early 20th century, General Electric, a “Corporation” suppressed the Tesla Energy and enslaved the public to a fee based system of “Utilities”. Thomas Edison was the face of this weaponized scheme.
The more you know!
The video explains the free energy experiment. We need to fire CenterPoint and the corrupt politicians and return to the free energy.
Attaching a copper wire to the end of a drone and find that, the higher you go the higher the charge gets from the aether.
The old world architecture was precisely tuned to harness this.

It’s time to seriously consider Home Schooling your Children! This just happened in the State of Vermont!!
Schools have been given the green light to vaccinate children with Covid-19 mRNA shots without parental consent by the Vermont Supreme Court which ruled that schools are protected under the PREP Act which provides immunity from liability.
The decision by the Vermont Supreme Court opens to the door for educators to further encroach upon the rights and responsibilities of parents by vaccinating children against the wishes of their parents and facing no legal consequences.
The court set the precedent during a case involving a child, labeled L.P. in the original complaint, who was vaccinated in November 2021 at a clinic hosted by the Windham Southeast School District.
L.P. was a student at the district’s Academy School at the time of the forced vaccination.
L.P.’s father told a school official days prior to the clinic the child was not to be vaccinated, court documents say. The school official acknowledged the father’s directive, according to Friday’s ruling.
The school child also reminded the staff that her father did not want her to be vaccinated.
However, clinic workers forced L.P. to have one dose of the Pfizer mRNA vaccine.
According to the school, the child was allegedly “misidentified,” according to the court ruling.
Academy School officials realized the “mistake” and called L.P.’s parents to explain and apologize, which led to L.P.’s parents removing their child from the school.
According to the Vermont Supreme Court ruling on Friday, state and school officials involved in vaccinating the child without parental consent cannot be sued or prosecuted because they are are protected by the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness (PREP) Act, which grants liability immunity.
Fox29 report: In the event of a public health emergency, the PREP Act ensures certain “covered persons” are immune from claims causally related to the use of a “covered countermeasure.” A vaccine is considered a covered countermeasure.
“To avoid dismissal on immunity grounds, plaintiffs would have had to present wellpleaded allegations showing that (1) at least one defendant was not a covered person, (2) some conduct by a defendant was not causally related to administering a covered countermeasure, (3) the substance injected into L.P. was not a covered countermeasure, or (4) there was no PREP Act declaration in effect at the time L.P. was injected,” the ruling reads.
The high court’s ruling affirms a January 2023 decision by a state superior court.
COLBERT COMMENT:
Those that listened to Colbertreport video on Rumble (Republican in bad Standing) episode on the Indiana Senate Bill #4, #1 and Resolution 50……do not think for one minute the Indiana Health Department, operated by the CDC Foundation Director, will not exercise their perceived authority to enforce the PREP Act as justification to “vaccinate” a child without parental consent. The Indiana Legislature enabled the Indiana Health Department via Senate Bill #4 to inact “Health Laws”. ⚠️ WARNING!!!! They are coming for our children!

While everyone steers their attention to the woke Olympics and the US election, the biggest crime in human history is still ongoing.
A South Korean father is calling himself “a great sinner” after pushing the COVID shots on his teenage daughter.
Everything seemed fine until she suddenly collapsed at home from a brain hemorrhage.
Ye-won’s family prayed for two weeks in the hospital at her bedside, but tragically, she did not survive.
In their grief, the family found solace in Ye-won’s organ donations saving five lives, but the father’s guilt remains.
Despite reassurances from officials, the father regrets believing in the vaccine's safety and is now calling for thorough investigations.
In the face of this, Dr. Peter Hotez is calling on NATO, the DOJ, and Homeland Security to deal with “anti-vaccine aggression.”
It doesn’t get much more evil than this. Watch.

REPUBLICAN GOVERNOR NOMINEE MIKE BRAUN REVISES PROPERTY TAX PROPOSAL EVEN BETTER…..HERE’S THE UPDATE.
Braun revises property tax plan; Todd Huston, Indiana Speaker of the House of Representatives, calls it starting point that it meets the goal he set out last week of resetting all tax bills for owner-occupied homes to 2021 levels.
Braun announced the change Tuesday, acknowledging the proposed increases in homestead deductions in his initial plan would leave an undetermined percentage of homeowners without savings.
Republican House Speaker Todd Huston told State Affairs that Braun’s plan was a “great proposal to start from” but that he had not yet closely studied its impact.
Braun: all homeowner bills to ‘reset’ to 2021 levels
Braun’s plan released Friday centers on increasing homestead deductions to reduce the assessed value of homes. He
proposed imposing a maximum 3% annual cap on property tax bill increases, with a 2% cap for senior citizens, low-income residents and families with children under the age of 18.
Braun’s campaign released a statement Tuesday saying that “most Hoosiers have found they will see significant property tax cuts by resetting their tax bills to 2021 levels due to enhanced homestead deductions.
However, some Hoosiers in high-tax districts would still find little relief.”
Braun’s statement said his plan was being revised so that “all Hoosier homeowners’ tax bills will be reset to the lower of their 2021 tax bill or the new bill based on enhanced deductions in my plan.”
Total property tax bills on owner-occupied homes increased statewide by 9% in 2021, 9.2% in 2022 and 16.7% in 2023, according to a Legislative Services Agency report.
“As Governor, I will embrace feedback from everyday Hoosiers on how to improve our state,” Braun said in the statement. “To ensure all homeowners benefit from my plan, I’m introducing an additional feature to this plan to guarantee all homeowners have their bills reset to at least their 2021 pre-Biden/Harris inflation levels.”
Braun’s campaign has not released any calculations on how much his proposal would reduce property tax collections and whether the tax burden would be shifted to business, agricultural or rental properties.
His campaign did not answer questions Wednesday from State Affairs on whether such an analysis was being prepared for release.
Braun has not proposed a possible replacement for potentially hundreds of millions Braun’s proposal comes as the Legislature’s State and Local Tax Review Task Force continues its work on a review of the state and local tax structure, including property taxes, ahead of the new legislative session starting in January.
Huston said that if Braun is elected governor, his proposals will be considered along with whatever is produced by the task force led by House Ways and Means Committee Chair Jeff Thompson and Senate Tax and Fiscal Policy Committee Chair Travis Holdman.
“Senator Braun, like many of us, has heard our constituents’ concerns about property taxes, and he’s put together a proposal and I appreciate his leadership on that,” Huston said in an interview with State Affairs. “As we go into the next legislative session, it’s a great place, a great proposal, to start from. We’ll work with him and his team and our Senate colleagues to get something passed that addresses the property tax concerns of Hoosiers.”
Huston wasn’t ready to endorse the specifics of Braun’s proposal.
“We really haven’t had a deep discussion on it. Like anything involving property taxes, there’s things you have to work through,” Huston said. “We’ll work together with them on it to get something accomplished.”

Bahamas Unleash DARE Act On Crypto Regulation
AUGUST 1, 2024 BY LIPIKA DEKA
Bahamas’ Securities Commission has legalized the Digital Assets and Registered Exchanges Act [DARE], marking a new standard in crypto asset regulation. Building upon the foundation established by the DARE Act, 2020, the regulator’s main focus was to ensure the new law aligns with global standards set forth by the International Organization of Securities Commissions standards for regulators and the Financial Action Task Force Recommendations.
Some key takeaways of Bahamas’ DARE 2024 include encompassing a wider range of digital asset activities, including derivatives and staking services, and custody provisions of digital assets. DARE 2024 also introduces a first-of-its-kind disclosure regime for staking digital assets belonging to clients or the operation or management of a staking pool as a business.
The Act defines stablecoins and allows for the registration of existing stablecoins. It also specifies acceptable forms of reserve assets and establishes new requirements for the custody and management, segregation, reporting, and redemption of reserve assets. However, algorithmic stablecoins are prohibited from being issued.
The Caribbean island was at the center of the FTX saga whose eventual collapse left significant implications for the country’s economy and reputation. Despite that, the Bahamas have been steadily picking up pace, and the latest move signals renewed focus on addressing the evolving landscape of digital assets.
Bahamas’ Crypto Revival As Russia Catches Up
Meanwhile, Russia is moving swiftly in its efforts to legalize cryptocurrency for cross-border transactions amidst increasing Western sanctions. The move led by the Ministry of Finance and the Bank of Russia indicates a significant shift in the country’s stance on digital assets. Deputy Finance Minister Alexei Moiseev has advocated for establishing a legal framework for cross-border crypto transactions.
He vouched for home-grown crypto platforms that comply with Anti-Money Laundering [AML] and Know Your Customer [KYC] regulations. The proposed legislation aims to allow legal cross-border payments without integrating cryptocurrency into Russia’s domestic financial system.
This move has gained support from key Russian officials, including the State Duma, which has been advocating for allowing miners to sell cryptocurrency as an export product. The proposed legislation is expected to be launched by the latter half of 2024, marking a significant milestone for Russia’s crypto industry.
COLBERT COMMENT:
I continue to be involved in Cryptocurrency for several years now. There is a proven trend with the BRICS nations to topple the the US Dollar as the World Reserve Currency. We are prepared with the returning to Gold backed currency rather than the Fiat Dollar. It is my “opinion” each Country will have their own stand alone currency, backed by their choice of commodity (Gold, Silver, Oil, Wheat, Crypto, etc) The financial system of each country will be independent of US manipulation.
The “exchange” will occur through, one of many un-encumbered clearing systems such as XRP.
It’s an exciting time to be alive, the World is eliminating itself of the corruption and manipulation of the old financial system too.

Bahamas’ Securities Commission has legalized the Digital Assets and Registered Exchanges Act [DARE], marking a new standard in crypto asset regulation. Building upon the foundation established by the DARE Act, 2020, the regulator’s main focus was to ensure the new law aligns with global standards set forth by the International Organization of Securities Commissions standards for regulators and the Financial Action Task Force Recommendations.
Some key takeaways of Bahamas’ DARE 2024 include encompassing a wider range of digital asset activities, including derivatives and staking services, and custody provisions of digital assets. DARE 2024 also introduces a first-of-its-kind disclosure regime for staking digital assets belonging to clients or the operation or management of a staking pool as a business.
The Act defines stablecoins and allows for the registration of existing stablecoins. It also specifies acceptable forms of reserve assets and establishes new requirements for the custody and management, segregation, reporting, and redemption of reserve assets. However, algorithmic stablecoins are prohibited from being issued.
The Caribbean island was at the center of the FTX saga whose eventual collapse left significant implications for the country’s economy and reputation. Despite that, the Bahamas have been steadily picking up pace, and the latest move signals renewed focus on addressing the evolving landscape of digital assets.
Bahamas’ Crypto Revival As Russia Catches Up
Meanwhile, Russia is moving swiftly in its efforts to legalize cryptocurrency for cross-border transactions amidst increasing Western sanctions. The move led by the Ministry of Finance and the Bank of Russia indicates a significant shift in the country’s stance on digital assets. Deputy Finance Minister Alexei Moiseev has advocated for establishing a legal framework for cross-border crypto transactions.
He vouched for home-grown crypto platforms that comply with Anti-Money Laundering [AML] and Know Your Customer [KYC] regulations. The proposed legislation aims to allow legal cross-border payments without integrating cryptocurrency into Russia’s domestic financial system.
This move has gained support from key Russian officials, including the State Duma, which has been advocating for allowing miners to sell cryptocurrency as an export product. The proposed legislation is expected to be launched by the latter half of 2024, marking a significant milestone for Russia’s crypto industry.
