Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will. Find out just what people will submit to and you have found out the exact amount of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them and these will continue till they have resisted either with words or blows or with both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance those of whom they suppress. —Fredrick Douglass (1849)
Three Former Minnesota Officers Who Watched George Floyd Die are Convicted By Lauren Victoria Burke, NNPA Newswire Contributor
Darnella Frazier. What resulted was worldwide attention on police brutality, the general treatment of Black people in the U.S. and a “racial reckoning” that endured conversation and financial pledges of support toward equal rights. In 2021, Chauvin was convicted of murder and sentenced to 22 and a half years behind bars. Former officers Kueng and Lane are seen on the video assisting Chauvin to restrain Floyd after he was handcuffed and placed face down on the pavement on a Minneapolis street.
The prosecution argued that the officers knew that Floyd was in medical trouble and did nothing though they had a duty to intervene. Attorneys for the three officers argued that the three more junior officers trusted Chauvin and were not aware that what he was doing was illegal. The decision on the three officers arrived after 13 hours of deliberation. Their trial was a month long. “The Justice Department will continue to seek accountability for law enforcement officers whose
actions, or failure to act, violate their constitutional duty to protect the civil rights of our citizens,” Attorney General Merrick Garland said in a statement on Feb. 24. “George Floyd should be alive today,” he added.

“Ashamed”: Newspapers Apologize for Decades of Negative Coverage on Black Communities By Lauren Victoria Burke, NNPA Newswire Contributor
The review of the historical coverage of Blacks by many large newspapers also highlights the lack of diversity that continues to persist even in newsrooms in cities with large Black populations. In a stark reminder of the importance of the Black Press established in the U.S. in 1827 by Sam Cornish and John Russwurm, American papers are beginning to analyze their coverage of African Americans. In at least two instances that historical analysis by the newspapers themselves has been followed by an apology. The papers in the predominantly Black cities of Baltimore, Philadelphia and Kansas City studied and confronted decades of negative news coverage on Black communities.
The efforts also highlight the lack of diversity that continues to persist even in newsrooms in cities with large Black populations. The Kansas City Star, established in 1880, issued an apology to their readership for what they admitted was consistently negative coverage of the local Black community. The Star’s apology, published in Dec. 2020, entitled The Truth in Black and White; An Apology From the KC Star, stated, “Our reporters searched court documents, archival collections, cong ressional testimony,

The LA Police Commission Meets Regarding Pretexting By Police For Car Stops By Clifton Harris
A jury convicted Tou Thao, 36; Alex Kueng, 28; and Thomas Lane, 38 of violating the constitutional rights of George Floyd. On February 24 in a St. Paul, Minneapolis federal courthouse, a jury convicted Tou Thao, 36; Alex Kueng, 28; and Thomas Lane, 38 of violating the constitutional rights of George Floyd. This case is likely the first time in history that a federal court has charged police officers for failing to intervene when witnessing police brutality by another officer. On May 25, 2020, George Floyd was killed by former Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin. Floyd’s killing was captured on video by a teenage bystander,
Editorial Highlights from the desk of
minutes of meetings and digital databases… Reporters were frequently sickened by what they found — decades of coverage that depicted Black Kansas Citians as criminals living in a crime-laden world. They felt shame at what was missing: the achievements, aspirations and milestones of an entire population routinely overlooked, as if Black people were invisible.” The Star went on to verify that Black news in the community was consistently underplayed and ignored. Their apology, which arrived months after the May 25, 2020 murder of George Floyd, was part of the effort around the country resulting from Floyd’s death that galvanized discussions on race in America. On February 18 of this year, the Baltimore Sun did the same as the Kansas City Star. “The Baltimore Sun frequently employed prejudice as a tool of the times. It fed the fear and anxiety of white readers with stereotypes and caricatures that reinforced their erroneous beliefs about Black Americans. Through its news
coverage and editorial opinions, The Sun sharpened, preserved and furthered the structural racism that still subjugates Black Marylanders in our communities today,” the Sun editorial board bluntly stated. “A f r i c a n Americans systematically have been denied equal opportunity and access in every sector of life — including health care, employment, education, housing, personal wealth, the justice system and civic participation. They have been refused the freedom to simply be, without the weight of oppression on their backs,” the Baltimore Sun editorial Board continued, adding that they were “ashamed” of past coverage of the Black Community. The Philadelphia Inquirer published an article by Wesley Lowery analyzing the Philadelphia Inquirer’s history on race and the newsroom’s lack of diversity. “Mentions of Black Philadelphia appeared in the white papers primarily through the lens of crime. To read The Inquirer then would leave one wondering if continued on page 3
The Los Angeles Police Department defines a pretextual stop as one in which officers conducting a minor traffic or code violation escalate it into an investigation of a more serious crime unrelated to the initial violation. According to the Office of the Inspector General, there were "pretty substantial racial disparities" in stops, many of which were pretextual stops, conducted by the department in 2019, and "a fairly small number of them yielded evidence of serious crimes or ended up resulting in any kind of arrests." Those findings led the commission to request that the department update its policy, according to Commission President William Briggs. "Those pretextual stops do not result in guns being taken off the streets, those pretextual stops do not result in curtailing murders and curtailing shootings... there is no data that anyone can point to that establishes that pretextual stops curtail violent crime in our city," said Briggs, adding that data collected for the Racial and Identity Profiling Act "shows just the opposite." Under the updated policy, officers making a pretextual stop will have to articulate on their body-worn video cameras the reason for the change. "A n off icer's t raining, experience and expertise may
be used in articulating the additional information the officers used to initiate the stop," the policy update states. The policy also states that pretextual stops can only happen if officers "are acting upon articulable information" and not a "mere hunch or on generalized characteristics," including race. Failure to articulate the information that prompted the officer to make a pretext stop will result in "progressive discipline beginning with counseling and retraining." The policy adds that discipline will escalate as more violations of the policy are made. City Councilman Marqueece Harris-Dawson joined the police commission meeting and called the policy update a "huge step in the right direction." He noted that public trust in the police is "so easily degraded when a person is stopped and they can't figure out why they were stopped or that the reason they were given just doesn't add up for them." He added, "I don't know of an African American male driver, (and) I know very few Latino male drivers, who don't have half-a-dozen stories about being stopped by police for reasons that didn't make sense." "It's clear to them, or at least leaves the impression, that: `I am a person, I'm an individual in this space and for some reason, this officer has decided that I'm continued on page 7

Gavin Newsom and CDPH officials that declining COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations allow us to see light at the end of the pandemic tunnel. Reaction to today’s announcement will be mixed. Simply put, while some students are ready to immediately remove their masks, others remain very afraid. We urge local school districts to continue to work with educators and families and to act cautiously while prioritizing the safety of students, educators, and their families. “From day one, safety has been and continues to be the priority for California educators who have spent the last two years confronting COVID’s everevolving challenges as individuals,

Multilayered mitigation strategies including vaccines, strong testing programs, good school ventilation systems and masks have been key to ensuring the stability of in-person teaching and learning. We continue to encourage all students and adults who are eligible to get vaccinated and booster shots as needed. “Change is never easy, and today’s announcement is bound to disrupt and destabilize some school communities. As we transition to the next phase of living with COVID-19, we must go forward with respect, understanding, and care for each other.”

SB Symphony Starts Season with Shakespearean Saga

Community /Education News
The San Bernardino Symphony Orchestra is currently preparing for the start of their 93rd performance season which begins with “Romeo and Juliet vs. West Side Story” on March 12, 2022. The concert considers Shakespeare's iconic tale of tragic love through some unique artistic perspectives. “I’m excited that the San Bernardino Symphony will have the opportunity to examine the Shakespearean tragedy of Romeo and Juliet through three completely different lenses; that of three colossal talents - Tchaikovsky, Prokofiev, and Bernstein,” shared San Bernardino Symphony Orchestra Music Director and Conductor Anthony Parnther. In the first half, the orchestra will perform the story of young Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet with Sergei Prokofiev's sweeping ballet, Romeo and Juliet, and the captivating Fantasy Overture by Piotr Illych Tchaikovsky. Explained Maestro Parnther, “Tchaikovsky was the first of the three to take a musical ‘swing’ at this material and it resulted in one of the most recognizable melodies of the entire Classical repertoire. Prokoviev creates tremendous drama in his ballet version of the story of which we’ll perform a few select movements, including the tense and angular Montagues and Capulets which has become the most famous excerpt from the work.” The concert’s second half will include selections from West Side Story by Leonard Bernstein. “In 1957, Bernstein and Sondheim changed Broadway forever when they combined forces to create West Side Story

Black Women, Legal Scholars Praise Ketanji Brown Jackson’s SCOTUS Nomination Nyah Marshall | Howard University News Service
Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson honors Judge Constance Baker Motley as she accepts President Biden's nomination to the U.S. Supreme Court. (HUNS Screen Shot) Americans around the country, including legal scholars and Black women, are praising President Joe Biden’s announcement last week nominating Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to replace Associate Justice Stephen Breyer on the U.S. Supreme Court. If confirmed, Jackson would make history as the first Black woman and the first former federal public defender to serve as a Supreme Court justice. “For too long, our government, our courts haven’t looked like America,” Biden said at the White House, flanked by Vice President Kamala Harris and Judge Jackson. “I believe that we should have a court that reflects the full talents and greatness of our nation with a nominee of extraordinary qualifications and that will inspire all young people to believe that they can one day serve our country at the highest level,” Biden said. Jackson, 51, currently sits on the District of Columbia (D.C.) Court of Appeals and has broad judicial, academic and practical legal experience. She was three times confirmed by the Senate, twice unanimously, when picked to serve on the U.S. Sentencing Commission and when appointed by President Barack Obama to be on the D.C. Federal District Court. In her acceptance speech, Jackson revealed that she shares a bir thday with Constance Baker Motley, the first Black woman appointed to serve as a federal judge. “Today, I proudly stand on Judge Motley’s shoulders, sharing not only her birthday, but also her steadfast and courageous commitment to equal justice under law,” Jackson said. “Judge Motley – her life and career -- has been a true inspiration to me, as I have pursued this professional path,” she explained. “And if I’m fortunate enough to be confirmed as the next Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, I can only hope that my life and career, my love of this country and the Constitution,
and my commitment to upholding the rule of law, and the sacred principles upon which this great nation was founded, will inspire future generations of Americans.” “Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson is an outstanding nominee,” said Danielle Holley-Walker, dean and professor at the Howard University School of Law, whose alumni include Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall. Hol ley-Wal ke r said a noteworthy aspect of Jackson’s background is that she has devoted most of her career to serving the public. As a federal public defender, Jackson represented defendants on appeal who did not have the means to pay for a lawyer and worked to identify errors that occurred during their trials. “I think one of the most important things for those of us who are interested in issues of justice and equality is that she served as a public defender, and she would not only be the first Black woman on the Supreme Court. She would also be the first public defender to ever serve on the Supreme Court,” she added. Jackson was bor n i n Washington, D.C., in 1970 and grew up in Florida with her parents who are both graduates of HBCUs. After graduating from Harvard, Jackson clerked for three federal jurists, including retiring Justice Stephen Breyer. Later, she began representing clients in criminal and civil appellate matters at Goodwin Procter LLP, appearing before the Supreme Court in the case McGuire v. Reilly. In this case, she represented Massachusetts reproductive rights groups, arguing that the state law prohibiting antiabortion protesters from harassing people seeking reproductive health care should be upheld. During her seven years as a district judge, Jackson issued several rulings on topics like federal environmental law, employment discrimination and
the Americans with Disabilities Act. The most notable one included Committee on the Judiciary v. McGahn, in which she ruled that Don McGahn, the former White House counsel to President Donald Trump, was required to testify before the House Judiciary Committee as part of its investigation into Russia’s interference in the 2016 election. Jackson was involved in the case against Trump’s efforts to block the release of documents related to the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol. A federal district judge in Washington rejected Trump’s request to block the disclosure of the documents, and the D.C. Circuit, in an opinion by Judge Patricia Millett that Jackson joined, upheld that ruling. Biden’s announcement came nearly a month after Justice Stephen Breyer announced his retirement and two years to the day Biden pledged to appoint a Black woman as the next Supreme Court justice. “I’m looking forward to making sure there’s a Black woman on the Supreme Court to make sure we in fact get everyone represented,” Biden said during the South Carolina primary in February 2020. Biden’s selection of Jackson gives him a chance to deliver on this campaign promise to Black voters, who were crucial to his election win. In fact, 86% of Black women voters supported prioritizing such a nomination, according to a poll by Change Research and Higher Heights for America, an organization that describes itself aa a “political home” for Black women and allies to organize. Biden met with at least three potential Supreme Court nominees, all of whom are Black women, before choosing Jackson. They included Leondra Kruger who sits on the California Supreme Court, and J. Michelle Childs, who sits on the U.S. District Court for
the District of South Carolina. “ T he re we re lot s of exceptionally qualified capable women to choose from, but Biden’s selection of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson demonstrates that there’s no need for America’s highest court to be off limits to Black women anymore,” said strategist and political commentator Donna Brazile, who is the Gwendolyn S. and Colbert I. King Endowed Chair in Public Policy at Howard University. Jotaka Eaddy, founder of #WinWithBlackWomen (WWBW), shared similar se nt i me nt s. “ Wit h t h is nomination, President Biden and Vice President Harris will once again elevate a woman, and in this case, a Black woman, to a position that has long been covered by a cement ceiling,” Eaddy said in a statement. “Today that ceiling is shattered into a million pieces.” Known for making a significant impact on the historic election of the nation's first Black woman Vice President, #WinWithBlackWomen also stated that it will work to “ensure that Judge Jackson receives a fair and expeditious confirmation process.” WWBW is a collective of Black women leaders from public and private sectors committed to advancing and uplifting Black women, families and communities. Though Jackson’s appointment would be historic, it will not change the ideological makeup of a Supreme Court that has a majority of conservative justices. “We’ve only had seven justices in the entire history of the U.S. Supreme Court who have not been White men,” HolleyWalker explained. “So, I think it's both an incredible day for our country, specifically for Black women, and also to have such a highly qualified nominee. We hope to see her confirmed in the way that is represented in terms of her credentials.” Howard law professor Alice Martin Thomas also sees Jackson as a highly qualified nominee who will be a fair judge. “I believe she's a tenacious personality,” Thomas said. “I believe she will not shrink. And she's going to have to stand up against a torrent of negativity and ugliness that we've all had to deal with. … She is more than capable and able of doing it graciously” “She will advance her point of view. And she'll be fair. That's all we can ask of a judge. I’m also glad she's young. She has her whole life in front of her,” Thomas concluded.

Its story is that of the modern American newspaper: The last half-century began with begrudging efforts at racial integration of both staff and coverage sparked by public pressure and protests; the decades to follow saw expanded efforts to recruit minority journalists before the industry cratered and many

The
Batman
War Comes to Kyiv...continued
By Dwight Brown NNPA News Wire Film Critic
Robert Pattison in The Batman photo Courtesy of Warner Bros. Pictures
Robert Pattison and Jeffrey Wroght costar in The Batman photo by Jonathan Olley Crime is rampant in Gotham City. Murders. Manslaughter. Blood soaks the streets. Citizens live in terror and the police are stumped. On desperate nights a Batman signal lights up the sky and the caped man jumps into action, but even he can’t stem the tide: “It’s a big city. I can’t be everywhere.” The Dark Night is the pinnacle of superhero movies. That Batman saga set a very high standard for style, content, acting and production values. It drew you into its dark world with strong visuals and plenty of balletic action that pulled you into Batman’s orb, from spectacular fight scenes to gliding magically in air. Arguably, this new chapter is the only other Batman close to that caliber, a stature set by actors Christian Bale and Heath Ledger, director/ writer Christopher Nolan and an incomparable cast and crew. In this incarnation, The Batman, a string of high-profile and sadistic slayings confounds the police. Lt. James Gordon (Jeffrey Wright, Angels in America) works tirelessly with his ally Batman (Robert Pattinson) to solve the homicides. As the killings ensnare mayoral candidates and city officials, pressure grows to find the serial killer (Paul Dano, 12 Years a Slave) who leaves behind cryptic riddles. A trail of clues leads to an underworld club and key figures: Selina Kyle (Zoë Kravitz) a cocktail waitress, Oswald “Oz” Cobblepot (Colin Farrell) the nightclub owner and Carmine Falcone (John Turturro) a crimelord. All know more than they’ll admit. A clandestine world of payoffs, informants and corruption is revealed. The primary characters are
courtesy of DC Comics. Director/ writer Matt Reeves (Planet of the Apes) and screenwriter Peter Craig (The Town) add in additional people who are vital to the central crime plotline. They are well developed, three-dimensional and indelible. All spew tone-setting dialogue. The kind that resonates from scene to scene. E.g., as the enigmatic Batman assesses how others perceive him, he defines his own persona: “They think I’m hiding in the shadows. But I am the shadow.” Add in a very timely premise about out-of-control big city crimewaves and viewers will be hooked for the duration. Reeves’s directorial style emphasizes pageantry over motion. A series of stunning set pieces are peppered with movement, though genre fans may prefer movement seasoned with drama. Which is why, as this whodunit nears the threehour mark, younger audiences may get a bit rambunctious. But if they wait, and they’ll have to, Reeves rewards them with bursts of kinetic energy (car chases, fistfights, aerial displays). It’s almost enough to make up for any lapses in pacing (editors William Hoy, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes and Tyler Nelson; Mindhunter). The filmmaker’s other blemishes include an inability to bring the footage to an evocative ending. The climax swells perfectly, the final moments do not.

ROBERT PATTINSON, COLIN FARRELL and JOHN TURTURRO costar in THE BATMAN photo by Jonathan Olley IMAX viewing mandatory. The footage’s very dark look (color palette by art director Grant Armstrong, Gravity) sets an ominous mood. Elaborate sets— from Bruce Wayne’s mansion to Oz’s glamorous club scene—draw you into a netherworld. Batman’s armor, Catwoman’s skintight outfits and The Penguin’s suits fit like a glove (costumes designer David Crossman, Glyn Dillon and Jacqueline Durran). Props, clothes, locations and people are all welllit and lensed (cinematographer Greig Fraser (Dune: Part One). And, if the visuals won’t astound viewers, the eerie audio track will. Michael Giacchino’s musical score intensifies the gloomy, soul searching and fearful atmosphere. Creepy sounds (adr editor Bobbi Banks, When They See Us) fray nerves. This is the kind of tech team directors/ producers gleefully take into battle. The kind that wins Oscars. Actor Robert Pattison has been prepping for this iconic role for 14 years. First, he built a fan base with the teen heartthrob Twilight franchise, which started in 2008. His gritty performance in the cri/ thr Good Time, mysterious turn in the adv/bio The Lost City of Z and gravitas in the art film The Lighthouse have primed him. The dual role of furtive Bruce Wayne and brooding Batman is his destiny. He commands attention. Supporting cast members work their spells too. A scene in which Batman and Lt. Gordon furiously interrogate Oz features acting so fiery and accomplished it underlines Pattison, Wright and Farrell’s brilliance. That heaviness is nicely balanced by
Kravitz’s lighter, coquettish, downtown vibe that she displays as the plucky young lady who becomes a feline crusader. FYI, Bat and Cat have chemistry. Andy Serkis as Batman’s valet Alfred is stately. Barry Keogan’s interpretation of Officer Stanley Merkel exhibits an in-your-face, badass New Yorker attitude that’s so apropos. Colin Farrell hides within the Oz/The Penguin character, shielded by makeup (Kat Ali), a fat suit and prosthetics that make him invisible. Dano, as the film’s chief villain, lacks the screen time it takes to build a lasting impression. Ledger as Joker had more scenes, which helped him sear that villain’s image into pop culture history. While Turturro’s sociopathic Carmine Falcone works the screen in a way only DeNiro or Brando could duplicate. Expect The Batman to stun mature audiences. It’s not so easy to judge whether this very adult approach, complex storyline and lack of moment-to-moment action scenes will hook teens and twentysomethings enough to make repeated screenings an addiction—a prerequisite for boosting box office grosses into the billion-dollar stratosphere. TBD. Reeves, Pattison and the talented cast and crew have created a crime/ action/drama extraordinaire. A close to perfect superhero film that nips at the heels of the untouchable The Dark Night.

War Comes to Kyiv By Joshua Yaffa The New Yorker other veterans in the area, securing supplies, deciding who would do what when the attack came. I asked whether he thought their makeshift barrier could impede a Russian assault. “We won’t just be shooting from here,” he said. “But from the houses, from the yards, from the basement— we’ll be spread out everywhere. We know this place. It’s ours.” Closer to Kyiv, the checkpoints
were manned by professional soldiers who seemed uninterested in wasting time, and we were quickly on our way. As we rode into town, the streets were marked with an ominous quiet. Kyiv was hit with missile and rocket strikes from the very start of Russia’s invasion, on February 24th; that same day, Russian paratroopers continued in last 2 columns
Kyiv residents take shelter inside the Beresteiska metro station. The fighting on Friday evening had been particularly nasty. “This night the enemy will use all the forces available to break our resistance,” Zelensky had warned. “This night we have to withstand. The fate of Ukraine is now being decided.” The impact of ballisticcontinued on page 7

morning, I stopped to get out at one—an improvised construction of cement blocks and sand bags— and was greeted with wary suspicion by a sizable middleaged man with a silver beard. He told me that he was a veteran of Ukraine’s war against Russian proxy forces in the Donbass region and, for the last several months, had been preparing for an invasion: gathering together
out of town or to spend the night in the neighborhood bomb shelter. Two women in their seventies who live nearby had come to have a look. One of them had heard that a family had, in fact, been inside when the building was struck— but they were already having breakfast in the kitchen, and the missile tore through the bedroom, leaving them unscathed. Didn’t scenes like this make her want to leave? “It’s terrible, of course,” she said. “But we’re sticking around to help.” A number of men in her neighborhood had formed their own selfdefense unit. “If nothing else, I can make them sandwiches.”

Residents are facing nightly air strikes, food shortages, and the prospect of taking up arms to defend the capital.
A woman walks past an apartment building in Kyiv that was damaged in a missile strike on Saturday morning. Photographs by Emanuele Satolli for The New Yorker The road into Kyiv is lined with military checkpoints, many of which are manned by local volunteers from whatever town the highway passes through. In the outskirts of the city on Saturday
tried to capture a military airfield just outside city limits—an attack that was initially successful, then repelled, and then, if reports are to be believed, ultimately decisive. The northern suburbs have seen ongoing gun battles. It is clear that Russia’s invasion has little to do with the unresolved war in the Donbass, which had been seen as an obvious pretext, and is instead focussed on regime change. To remove Ukraine’s President, Volodymyr Zelensky, and install a pliant, pro-Russia replacement, however, requires taking the capital. We pulled up to an apartment block on Lobanovskyi Prospect, a wide boulevard in the city’s southwest. At 8 a.m., a missile strike had torn through the building’s right side, leaving a three-story gash in its façade. Chunks of concrete and iron swayed in the breeze; every now and then, a piece of rubble crashed noisily onto the asphalt below. Glass dusted the street for blocks. In a way, the residents of the building were saved by how intense the nighttime shelling in Kyiv has already been: nearly everyone had left, either heading

“Listen to Me Like You’ve Never Listened to Me Ever in Your Life!” By: Lou Yeboah
Lou Yeboah The World is Now on the Eve of Destruction, and near the great deception that was foretold in the Bible. The Great Tribulation with the Antichrist is almost upon us. The agencies of evil are combining their forces and consolidating. The stage is being set for the Final, the Great, Apostasy. [Revelation 13]. Listen to me like you’ve never listened to me ever in your life! When the Lord tells you to run don’t hesitate, don’t argue, and don’t look back. As the angels urged Lot, saying, "Hurry! Take your wife and your two daughters who are here, or you will be swept away when the city is punished. [Genesis 19:15-26]. Flee for your lives! Don’t look back, and don’t stop anywhere in the plain! Flee to the mountains; for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon the people. For these are the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled. [Luke 21:21-23]. Listen to me like you’ve never listened to me ever in your life! Jesus warned that just prior to His Second Coming, an allencompassing World War would threaten the very survival of mankind. We are living in those
times today. There are four prophetic developments occurring right now that demonstrate how close we are to the Euphrates River War, otherwise known as World War III. I can’t tell you exactly when this is going to happen, but the Bible tells us where World War III will originate. [Revelation 9:1415]. According to Bible prophecy, it will be the Battle of Armageddon which destroys all things. It will be when Israel is attacked by Russia and Iran [Gog and Magog]. I tell you, when the Lord tells you to run don’t hesitate, don’t argue, and don’t look back because the setting up of the Abomination of Desolation will mark a time of danger that will come so swiftly that in [Luke 21:34-35] Jesus said it would be like a snare—catching us completely off guard. Isaiah compared it to the collapse of a high, swelling wall “whose breaking comes suddenly at an instant.” [Isaiah 30:13]. Do not be deceived. Take heed, be alert, watch and pray because current events right now, show this day rapidly approaching. Jesus spoke of these major world events to come before His return in what is called His Olivet Prophecy. [Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21]. His disciples began by asking Him, “What will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?” Christ’s reply included this warning of an unprecedented time of trouble: “For then there will be
SB Symphony Starts Season with Shakespearean Saga...continued from page 2 Bernardino Symphony Orchestra once again, having last been seen 15 years ago performing selections from The Phantom of the Opera under Maestro Carlo Ponti, Jr. No stranger to the score of West Side Story, he most recently appeared as Tony in Los Angeles in 2018. He also performed for Sir Arthur Laurents, famed playwright and screenwriter who wrote the show, when he was a finalist for the Broadway revival. Some of his other notable roles include the west coast premiere of Light in the Piazza (Fabrizio), Cinderella at the Fireside Theatre in Wisconsin (Prince), Joseph… (Joseph), Fiddler on the Roof (Perchik), My Fair Lady (Freddy), Pirates of Penzance (Frederick), Sweeney Todd (Antony), and he originated the role of Arthur Davies/Captain Hook in the Off-Broadway cast of Lost Boys. He was also featured as French artist Charles Gounod on the cast recording of Felix and Fanny, the story of the Mendelssohn composers. Sponsored, in large part, through a generous grant from the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians, the concert begins promptly at 7:30 p.m. at the California Theatre of the Performing Arts, 562 W. Fourth Street in downtown San Bernardino. "This will be a truly enchanting evening and we cannot think of a better way to welcome back our beloved audience than to present a concert based upon such an internationally treasured tale," shared Symphony Board of Directors President Dean McVay. Agreed Maestro Parnther, “This is a concert not to be missed!” Updated Safety Protocols The San Bernardino Symphony Association has updated its COVID-19 safety protocols to align with the California Department of Public Health, now welcoming
both vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals to attend concerts. As at the past two live concerts, fully vaccinated patrons may provide an electronic, photo, or paper copy of their vaccination record and a matching governmentissued ID. Unvaccinated patrons may bring an electronic, photo, or paper copy of a negative COVID-19 test result received from a completed lab-certified antigen COVID-19 test within 24 hours prior to entering the concert venue, or a negative test result received from a completed PCR COVID-19 test within 48 hours prior to entering the concert venue. The BinaxNOW COVID-19 proctored Antigen Home Test (the version requiring a virtual appointment with a medical professional) is an acceptable option when accompanied by he alt hca re prov ide r documentation. Negative test results must be accompanied by a matching government-issued ID. A lt e r nat ively, med ical documentation of recovery from COVID-19 within the prior 90 days will be accepted in lieu of proof of vaccination or a negative test. Self-administered home tests not conducted under the supervision of a medical professional who has provided documentation are not acceptable. Masking is required for all patrons while in the California Theatre. The Symphony’s full Covid-19 safety policy is available on their website. Six Season Concerts Remain While the 2022 season is scheduled for all live concerts, it will represent a hybrid in terms of location. This is because state-funded renovations will be underway at the California Theatre. The Symphony will continued in next 2 columns
great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect’s sake those days will be shortened.” [Matthew 3; 21-24]. When you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation is near. Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, let those who are in the midst of her depart, and let not those who are in the country enter her. For these are the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled… For there will be great distress in the land and wrath upon the people. They will fall by the edge of the sword and be led away captive into all nations. And Jerusalem will be trampled by Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled. [Luke 21:20-24; see Revelation 11:2; emphasis mine]. Listen to me like you have never listened to me ever in your life. The weapons will be used. The world will be destroyed. Cities will disappear. No nation will be spared. The apocalyptic revelations are a warning to all mankind. The end is coming – sooner than we think! And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch! This is not only a commandment, it is a warning. [Mark 13:37]. The Day is real, and the hour is set ... [Zephaniah 1:1418]. The Antichrist will rise and conquer ... [Revelation 6:1-2]. A
Great War will ignite the Earth ... [Revelation 6:3-4]. Global famine will follow… [Revelation 6:5-6]. One-fourth of Mankind will be destroyed ... [Revelation 6:7-8; Revelation 9:13-15; Revelation 9:16-19]. One-third of all trees on Earth will burn [Revelation 8:7] One-third of all life in the sea will die ... [Revelation 8:8-9; Revelation 16:3]. One-third of all fresh water on Earth will be poison ... [Revelation 8:10-11]. One-third of the light of the Sun, Moon, and Stars will be blocked ... [Revelation 8:12-13). Rivers and springs will turn to blood ... [Revelation 16:47]. A great heat will scorch the Earth ... [Revelation 16:8-9]. A thick, darkness will cover the Earth ... [Revelation 16:10-11]. Millions who come to the Lord will be executed ... [Revelation 14:13; Revelation 20:4; Revelation 6:9-11]. A massive Earthquake unlike any other in the history will convulse and change the face of the Earth ... [Revelation 16:18-20; Isaiah 24:19-20].

WITNESS FOR JUSTICE #1088
Professional Consultants for Dysfunctional Societies Brooks Berndt The popular thing to do these days when your organization or company is facing a sizable problem is to hire a consultant. I figure our society could use some consultants to address the climate crisis, so I took it upon myself to identify a select group of individuals who have extensive experience in forcing societies into a moment of reckoning—a reckoning that profoundly jolts and rocks their status quo. In the United States especially, the group of boat rockers whom I have identified happen to have immense cultural capital and influence a large portion of the voting public, who avidly consume their teachings on a regular basis. This sometimes peculiar and often
rebellious bunch are collectively known as the Prophets. From Moses to Mary, they have a multitude of lessons for us today, but I will focus on three crucially important lessons that they shared in my consultations: L e sson #1 f rom t he Prophet Moses: Confront the Powerful with a Demand This lesson may seem obvious in both ancient and modern contexts, but it warrants emphasis. Imagine the story of Moses without him confronting Pharoah with his famous demand, “Let my people go!” (Ex. 5:1, NRSV). Without continued in next 2 columns
Professional Consultants for Dysfunctional Societies...continued this, there really is no story. Moses’s life would have largely consisted of tending to Jethro’s flocks. Similarly, imagine if our approach to the climate crisis boiled down to making better consumer choices or living “a simple life” without ever making demands of the government officials who hold power in our society. One can live a morally pure life tending to sheep, but change comes by applying one’s morals to those on the throne. Lesson #2 from the Prophet Jeremiah: Go Public with Courage Jeremiah was a youth when God instructed him to be “a prophet to the nations,” and, like Moses, the idea of taking on the prophetic mantel of confronting rulers filled him with fear and trepidation (Jer. 1:5, NRSV). Jeremiah was given the unenviable divine authority to “pull down” and “overthrow” kingdoms (Jer. 1:10, NRSV). With such a daunting task placed upon him, Jeremiah was to “gird up” his “loins” and make his denunciations “in the hearing” of all Jerusalem (Jer. 1:17 and 2:2, NRSV). The social part of social change requires taking action in public. Jeremiah could have conducted a private letter writing campaign with King Josiah, but undoubtedly none of us would now know his name. Similarly, if we truly want to change the system that has brought us to this point, we will
need to muster up the courage to go beyond online action alerts, petitions, and tweets to make our demands in the public square. Lesson #3 from the Prophet Mary: Justice Is Our Cry In one of the most revolutionary passages in the Bible, Mary declares that God “has brought down the powerful from their thrones, and lifted up the lowly” (Luke 1:52, NRSV). As a teenage Jewish Palestinian girl in the backwaters of a mighty empire, her faith centered upon the kind of justice that rises as the people rise. To think of the climate crisis as simply a science problem in need of technological solutions is an act of denial. The leading environmental justice scholar Robert Bullard notes that underlying the climate crisis is an “apartheid system of global decision-making.” He observes, “Equity has to take center stage because people who have contributed the least to climate change and global warming are the ones that feel it first, worst, and longest. So justice can’t just be a footnote. Justice has to be at the center of everything.” The Rev. Dr. Brooks Berndt is the Environmental Justice Minister for the United Church of Christ and the author of Cathedral on Fire: A Church Handbook for the Climate Crisis.
Inland Empire Center for Entrepreneurship Publishes Annual Report of Community Impact The cumulative impact of the IECE is approaching $400 million Lifestyle/National News (San Bernardino, CA) March 01, 2022 – The Inland Empire Center for Entrepreneurship (IECE) at California State University, San Bernardino (CSUSB) has published the 2021 Impact Report and the data shows that the IECE continues to have a growing and impactful economic presence in the region. Among the findings is that in 2021, the IECE had a total net positive economic contribution of slightly more than $70 million when the total loans, contracts and exports are combined. “That's the direct economic impact, that doesn't account for any multiplier effects.” said Mike Stull, Director of IECE. IECE was also responsible for the creation and retention of approximately 17,000 jobs in 2021. The jobs are representative of a variety of industries including hospitality, logistics, tech, construction and retail services.
Another category of jobs is for the entrepreneurs themselves who become self-employed after launching their ventures. “Due to the pandemic a great deal of focus in last years impact to the economy was in assisting companies in keeping employees on the payroll. We did a lot of work to keep people employed and to keep their employees inhouse. And so that's reflected in that number as well,” said Paul Nolta, Manager of the IECE Small Business Development Center. The report also details that IECE held more than a thousand training and networking events last year with more than 17,000 attendees. Women-owned and minority-owned businesses were also heavily featured in the IECE training and assistance programs with more than 2,000 and 2,500 businesses facilitated respectively.

Vaccination Is Essential in Fighting COVID-19
State Superintendent Thurmond Declares Urgent Need to Address Student Trauma and Promotes Effort to Recruit 10,000 Mental Health Clinicians...continued
By Dr. Jerry Abraham, Director, Kedren Vaccines at Kedren Health in Los Angeles
his effort to recruit 10,000 clinicians is part of a larger plan to address workforce challenges in the education sector. It’s also a centerpiece of his effort to help students heal from the trauma of the pandemic, recover academically, and thrive as they prepare for the future. Thurmond has simultaneously appointed a workgroup on addressing education sector workforce shortages, which is working to address compensation, training, and recruitment strategies to help offset education staffing shortages in a state that serves six million students. “Supporting the academic recovery of our students is a top priority, but there is nothing more urgent than addressing the social emotional needs of California students,” Thurmond said. Thurmond, who holds a
As we approach the second year of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is gratifying to see that the vaccine is working to prevent some of the worst outcomes of the virus, including hospitalizations and deaths. Sadly, that is not the case for unvaccinated Californians, who are nearly 12 times more likely to be hospitalized with COVID-19, and 17 times more likely to die from COVID-19 than fully vaccinated and boosted people. While no vaccine provides 10 0 p e rce nt i m mu n it y, we know vaccination and boosters remain the most effective way to keep ourselves healthy against COVID-19. However, misinformation about the safety of the COVID-19 vaccines is running rampant, especially in Black and African American communities. As a doctor on the frontlines of the pandemic, I see how misinformation about COVID-19 and the vaccines comes at a high cost — putting our already vulnerable populations at higher risk for infection and death. Misinfor mation car r ies dangerous consequences for Black and African American communities, which are at heightened risk for transmission due to lower-than-average vaccination rates. Misinformation about the pandemic and the vaccines can appear to be informative and factual because it is easily found on social media or online sources. However, it inhibits our judgement to make informed decisions about our health and the health of our loved ones. Ultimately, misinformation about the pandemic and the vaccines is causing cases of avoidable illness and death. The facts are that the vaccines are not new. They were wellresearched prior to being made available to the public. Previous pandemics prompted decades of vaccine research and informed
development of the COVID-19 vaccines; and the mRNA vaccination method used in the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines was in development for at least 10 years prior to the pandemic. COVID-19 will continue to evolve with new strains and variants, and we must continue to prepare for the future — even though we cannot fully predict it. That is why medical experts continue to stress vaccination, booster shots, and mask wearing as safeguards against COVID-19 infection. We know these solutions are effective for keeping ourselves, loved ones and communities safe. A study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) found that unvaccinated individuals who have had COVID-19 were “more than twice as likely as fully vaccinated people to contract COVID-19 again.” The vaccines can also help guard against re-infection. Research shows that the COVID-19 vaccines provide more substantial protection than natural immunity. The vaccines can also reduce the risk of people spreading the virus that causes COVID-19, and boosters increase a person’s immunity almost immediately. While mask mandates at the state level have been shifting, we know that wearing a mask is an important tool to stay safe. Regardless of what the mandates are in your county, I recommend a properly worn mask in indoors public spaces when social distancing is not possible. Make mask-wearing and vaccination part of your tactics to stay safe and healthy during the pandemic. If you come across information about COVID-19 or vaccination that you are unsure about, consult a trusted healthcare provider about your concerns. You should also visit covid19.ca.gov or the CDC.gov for timely, accurate information about the pandemic.

State Superintendent Thurmond Declares Urgent Need to Address Student Trauma and Promotes Effort to Recruit 10,000 Mental Health Clinicians World/Health News SACRAMENTO—Earlier this week, State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond provided testimony to the joint hearing with Assembly Budget Subcommittee No. 1 on Health and Human Services, Assembly Budget Subcommittee No. 2 on Education Finance, and Assembly Select Committee on Early Childhood Development regarding Children and Youth Behavioral Health Issues and Programs, at which he declared an urgent need to recruit mental health clinicians and unveiled to legislators a bill that, if passed, could help to secure 10,000 mental health clinicians in the state. “Sadly, during the pandemic, we are seeing an increase in the number of students experiencing depression, suicidal feelings, or other mental health challenges,” said Thurmond. “At the same time, we are dealing with
ongoing challenges in the state’s ability to provide a sufficient number of counselors to support student mental health needs.” Pointing to California’s historic challenge in filling counseling roles to keep up with community need, Thurmond unveiled Senate Bill (SB) 1229, a bill that could help generate 10,000 new mental health clinicians. The bill would provide grants of $25,000 to aspiring clinicians who commit to serving two years in communities of high need. Seeking solutions to lower student-to-counselor ratios in schools is not a new effort or one unique to California. However, it is believed that with SB 1229, California would be the only state to pursue a plan as ambitious as filling 10,000 new counseling positions. Thurmond described how continued in next 2 columns

In addition to pursuing SB 1229, Thurmond is administering a grant program to equip schools with tools to counter social isolation and is also leading an effort to train school districts on how to draw down more federal dollars (Medi-Cal) to provide counseling services. Senator Mike McGuire is the author of SB 1229 and the California Alliance for Children and Family Services is the co-sponsor of the bill with Superintendent Thurmond.

Ontario Convention Center Celebrates 25 Years World/Local /Health News ON TA R IO, Cal i for n ia (Tuesday, March 1, 2022) – Ontario Convention Center has announced the 25th anniversary of Ontario Convention Center! A community event is planned for late summer to enjoy an open house at the 225,000 square foot venue. “We look forward to a year-long celebration of our 25th Anniversary with several events.” said Shannon Perry, General Manager of Ontario Convention Center. “This building is very well maintained, our clients continue to be impressed by the ageless design and amenities.” Over the years Ontario Convention Center has earned several awards, and today continues to host meetings, conventions, life celebration events and more. In 2016 the main lobby underwent construction to
include Café Connect and a new outdoor patio. Still focusing on the beautiful mountain view this redesigned space provides a place for dining, a cup of coffee on to go, and a place to be outside for relaxation and renovation. It was July of 1993 when the City of Ontario Council selected a 17-acre plot, at a price tag of $8.5M, near Ontario International Airport as the future site to build Ontario Convention Center. With a sale of $90M in bonds is was time to move forward on this project. The project was promised to bring in up to $74M annually and create 789 jobs. A ground-breaking ceremony was held on September 28, 1995. The mid 90’s was a busy time for construction and Grand Openings continued in next 2 columns

The LA Police Commission Meets Regarding Pretexting By Police For Car Stops...continued from page 1 suspicious,"' Harris-Dawson said. Several people called in to a recent meeting to oppose the motion for allowing pretextual stops to continue at all. Hamid Khan of the Stop LAPD Spying Coalition called the policy update a "facade of reform." "They still want to maintain their capacity to stop people because if this was truly, they wanted to change this, they would completely ban the pretextual stop," Khan told City News Service on Tuesday. "...That pretext is about racial profiling, this is about targeting particular communities and this is about constant harassment and intimidation." Mona Sutton, who identified herself as the representative for the Community Police Advisory Board for the South Bureau and Harbor Area, said she opposed the policy update for limiting officers' ability to make pretextual stops, arguing against others' beliefs that it undermines public trust in the police. Another caller also opposed changes to the policy, saying pretextual stops lead to officers finding firearms and drugs. Pol ic e C h ief M ic h el Moore responded to those concer ns Tuesday. "I've heard thoroughly members of this organization who believe that this policy will stop us from
identifying those responsible for violent crime, stop us from identifying those that are carrying weapons, firearms, engaged in street violence. I firmly believe that that is not the case," Moore said. In a preamble to the policy that will be added to the department's manual, the LAPD notes: "While the exercise of an officer's discretion in initiating a `stop' or conducting a detention is authored under the law, it should reflect the necessary balance of the role of law enforcement in the prevention of crime and receiving and thereafter maintaining the community's trust that the officer's actions are fair and without bias." The statement adds that stops can promote public safety and protect the public, but can subject motorists and pedestrians to "inconvenience, confusion and anxiety," as well as harm the relationship between police and the community, with many considering such stops racially biased or unfair. "To maintain public trust, the Department's use of pretext stops as a crime reduction strategy must be measured in furtherance of achieving the necessary balance between the perception of fairness and identifying those engaged in serious criminal conduct," the preamble adds.
War Comes to Kyiv...continued from page 4 missile strikes let off orange flashes all over the city; on Friday, Ukraine’s military said its forces had shot down a Russian transport plane carrying up to a hundred and twenty-five paratroopers near Vasylkiv, a city south of the capital. Russia possesses a fearsome and perhaps ultimately overwhelming military machine. But it seems that Putin’s invasion plans, which had posited that it could all be over within a few days, were rushed and hubristic. By daybreak on Saturday, at least, it was clear that Kyiv had not fallen. We came to an overpass not far from the zoo, where Ukrainian soldiers had apparently repelled an attempt by Russian forces to infiltrate an advance force and weapons supply deep into the city. It was, by any measure, a terrible scene. Two burned-out shells of military vehicles stood prone in the street, with burn marks and shards of metal and glass trailing for half a mile. Twisted remains of explosive shells dotted the road. On the pavement, I saw pieces of what I thought might be flesh but tried not to pay too much attention. Nearby, at the Beresteiska metro station, dozens of people had gathered to hide out from the fighting above. Near the entrance, I came across a group of three young people, and struck up a chat with one of them, Masha, who is twenty-three and works in I.T. The last few days, she and her friends have been in and out of the metro too many times to count,
she said. “You’re at home, and the siren goes off, so you come here; you wait two or three hours, return home, and before you can have a real nap or meal, it goes off again.” They were tired, and freaked out, and looking to catch a train out of Kyiv; they even had tickets. A taxi was supposedly on its way to drive them to the station, but they had been waiting for hours. Masha told me that her main goal was to donate a portion of her earnings to the Ukrainian effort. In order to do so, she said, “I need a quiet and safe place for me and my laptop.” A burned-out vehicle litters the site of fighting between Ukrainian and Russian forces in Kyiv, on Saturday. I took the escalator down to the platform, which dates to the early seventies, and is set off with a rather striking Soviet-era mosaic showing a square-jawed scientist and a muscular factory worker. Around sixty or so people milled about, most of them lying on blankets on the cold floor. The place had been packed the previous night, when missiles rained down, but it had thinned out as people ventured above ground to get personal items or groceries, which makes for an increasingly complicated quest in Kyiv these days. All restaurants are closed, and only a handful of supermarkets are open, all with lines that can stretch on for hours. That it is no easy task to secure food in a major city in the center of Europe, with a population larger
than that of Rome or Paris, seemed as grimly surreal as the missiles. A pair of three-year-old twins played tag along the platform, shrieking and giggling as they gave chase. Their mom, Victoria, said they had been down here for two days already. “I don’t tell them any fairy tales,” she said. “I say these sirens are for a reason, there are tanks, they are shooting, and you should hide in order to keep safe.” They had a small patch of concrete near a wall, on which Victoria had laid a number of blankets, along with plastic bags of food. Victoria told me that the girls call the air-raid sirens “the cows” because they think they sound like mooing. They already have an established routine: wake up, wash hands, brush teeth, eat some yogurt or pasta that Victoria boiled at home, and then read a book about dinosaurs. The fact that Ukraine’s army has so far held out against the Russian invasion force seems to be a point of near-universal pride in Kyiv. Ukraine’s defense minister has declared that any citizen who wants a rifle can obtain one by showing up at official distribution centers and presenting a passport. Thousands of guns in the hands of everyday citizens scattered all over the city might not fend off an invasion, but they would certainly complicate any occupation. I went to have a look at one such center, set up on the grounds of a public school. A hundred or so people milled
about; dozens of green crates full of rifles stood behind an iron gate. Outside, I ran into two women in their forties, Olena and Oksana, who had signed up the day before. Each had an AK-47 slung over her shoulder. Olena is a university administrator; Oksana owns a wood-processing company. “Of course, it’s scary; it couldn’t be otherwise,” Olena said. But she had to do something, she said. Oksana said that her husband was in the Ukrainian military. “I couldn’t leave him, and my land, all on their own.” The two women, friends for years, had a buoyant, almost cheery energy. We stood on the street and talked about cities in Ukraine and Olena’s Cossack roots and old Russian folk songs—for a moment, you could almost forget about how absolutely terrible this all is. The moment, alas, didn’t last. As the war drags on, Russia’s frustration with the lack of quick victory may translate into more indiscriminate violence. The prospects of wide-scale fighting inside Kyiv are horrific. At 11 p.m., Ukrainian authorities sent out an alert that, overnight, the capital was expected to weather the heaviest barrage of air strikes and rocket attacks seen so far in this long and awful week.
