Paterson Renaissance?

From the Record:

The Great Falls are essential to Paterson’s economic and cultural future

There aren’t many urban centers in America that have a waterfall a stone’s throw away from their downtown district. Well, part of Paterson’s point of difference is the Great Falls and the tremendous potential that the mighty cataract possesses.

When Alexander Hamilton saw the Falls, he saw the future. Therefore, in honor of our city’s founding father we are harnessing his vision to spark a renaissance in Paterson.

The rebirth of Hinchliffe Stadium was a significant step in our revitalization efforts. It put Paterson back in the win column with many more victories on the horizon. One of those wins is the anticipated opening of the Charles Muth Museum, which will help us tell the story of American integration with a nostalgic nod to the heroes of Negro League Baseball.

Just above Hinchliffe Stadium is Vista Park, the highest point in Paterson. It is an underutilized property that has tragically become a dumping ground. However, our plan is to invest $4 million in the site to transform it into a state-of-the-art park.

The Paterson Planning Board recently approved our ambitious vision for a rooftop restaurant, a food hall and a culinary arts school in the Great Falls District. The unanimous vote by the aforementioned body speaks to the synergy surrounding our desire to become a top-notch tourist destination.

The Paterson City Council gave our plan to auction off the former site of the Libby’s Lunch its stamp of approval. The property is ideally located and possesses the potential to be a restaurant, a café, or maybe even a boutique hotel.

    I like this. Rumors, false allegations. I guess in SK you can do something.

    Gonna be interesting if they are successful here. Slander and libel seem to be two areas of weakness in American court systems.

    A guy being called a pedo by a group of hyenas when there were no children and now they complain when he hacked them all up. Don’t see one prosecutor charging them with a crime. (they are all lying in court, read the comments.)

    I hope they are able to unmask their mouthy antagonizer.

    It is weird how malicious people are about k pop groups and actors.

    That guy who carved up the teens was probably afraid they would drown him since they kept knocking him down. I hope he’s found not guilty.

  27. Libturd says:

    Gary, you do realize that this inflation is occurring mainly because wealthy people are doing so well they are spending like crazy and producers are raising prices to take advantage of it. Oil keeps moving up because the economy is so hot, the world needs more of it raising the price on a finite resource. But don’t worry. It will trickle down.

  28. Libturd says:

    I’m with you HMB. I watched that whole video and was happy to see the reactions of those drunk kids once they lost one of their own. I do think it’s a case of self-defense considering it was 20 on 1 and I don’t think he even provoked it. Have not really followed the case though. Any idea how he got mixed up with those teenage thugs initially?

    If it was me, I would have popped all of their tubes.

  29. No One says:

    Chi needs to tell me the 10 yr, I’m too lazy to look it up.
    And how to position in fixed income right now?
    At the moment, I’ve got a lot in a short term treasury money market fund that has no downside risk, yields over 5%, better than most CDs, and is liquid. Not a great return but what can offer more? Muni spreads seem narrow vs treasuries at the moment. Long term treasuries don’t offer much benefit, other than to maybe hedge against a future recession and a possible return to ZIRP, though odds are against that.
    Credit spreads I think are very low, so that doesn’t look very good.
    TIPS? Taxes eat up most of the yield, right?
    Or leave it in the ST treasury money market and wait for other asset prices to fall.

  30. Libturd says:

    3B,

    I told you the FED stopped too early. They need to pull a Volcker. Where’s the pain?

    I think he was snorkeling looking for a phone someone in his group dropped in the river and the teens started with him.

  33. leftwing says:

    Brutal, chi. Thank god I dumped that T position at a manageable loss…

    Otherwise, those ‘free’ hedges I threw on for my larger more liquid positions working. Also I mentioned last week or so I put on a directional SPX trade…screen says that’s up 107% and part of what is keeping me slightly green (essentially flat) so far. Need to keep an eye and manage that, it’s close to expiry and once the initial shock wears off I do feel – no data, feel – there is a BTD mentality out there so would prefer to maybe book some gains than leave all on the table…

    May dabble in VIX today, to decrease, depending where she goes next few hours. Levered directional trade.

  34. 3b says:

    Lib: I have been saying the same thing, stopped too early, and those silly 25 bp baby steps. Worst Fed ever!

  35. Libturd says:

    Hey, at least they raised the rates a little. :P

  36. Boomer Remover says:

    Agreed, raises should have been > 100bp only. Pissed away what, two years of increased debt borrowing costs? One incendiary hike this year that will be too little too late.

  37. Phoenix says:

    Lib, HMB.

    Older people are like Marlboro men.

    Young kids collaborate. Constant communication, manipulation.
    I watch them plan to get things over on my boss when they don’t like her decisions.
    Each plans to take a turn at her from different angles.
    They text in stealth to communicate. Even from one side of the table to the other.
    They take photos of management, and use apps to make jokes about them. I know how they operate.

    They called this guy a pedo, no kids around. One girl, who was not in the group, started the whole thing with her mouth, getting in his face and pushing him. It’s alleged he punched her which primed up the ol’ “you don’t hit a woman” hero mentality in the drunk male primates. Funny how she is the one person who refused to be filmed for the YouTube videos in order to testify. Skank.

    Go back to Old Dads. Watch the part where his wife demands he leave his house when he did nothing to her. Why is the man always to leave? Why do the cops all do this to people when there are domestics? Why do female teachers molest 14YO males, smile, then walk out of court all happy with no jail time?

    Imagine being this old guy, looking for a phone in the river where it was dropped. Some little skank in his face telling him to leave like she is some sort of feminist boss chick. A skank not even related to the group of the tubers where it started. She should never have been there at all. None of her business. The phone is in a location that is fixed. If the tubers were “uncomfortable” or “scared, ” float the fucc away.

    The guy needs to be in the spot where the phone was dropped. They don’t need to.

    Teens, alcohol, skanky women. Calling an Alpha Romanian man a pedo? The wolfpack attacked a lone wolf and now are crying.

    Jail or not, the one punk ain’t coming back. His dopey friends are damaged internally.

    Next time help the Gen X guy find his phone. Could have been heroes, now they are Gen Zeroes.

    I hope he is found not guilty, and that this video is shown in every middle and high school each year. Along with the verdict from the jury.

  38. No One says:

    Libturd,
    The narrative of greedy companies somehow creating inflation is a false one. The US government and central planners at the central bank have policies that devalue our currency. And set other policies that drive up costs, like mandating more expensive energy, mandating more expensive and complicated cars, licensing services, regulating all sorts of production, imposing tariffs and taxes, passing laws and mandates that force up labor costs directly and indirectly. And of course government borrowing from tomorrow to fund consumption today. All of these forces will tend to drive up nominal costs of goods and services. Overall, companies are merely the messenger. And they are generally trying to produce as efficiently as they can within their constraints. Inflation would be much worse if it were government making production decisions instead, under these circumstances. Or you could just have shortages while pretending prices/costs aren’t moving.

    With all this noise about greedy food companies and shrinkflation (wasn’t Mayor Bloomberg desperate to tax and shrink drinks and unhealthy snacks – shouldn’t he be celebrating?) I investigated the financial ratios of the global/US consumer staples sector and food industry. And what I found was that since 2020 their inflation adjusted cash flow return on invested capital has dropped slightly, not risen. They are not quite even passing along their rising costs. Not dramatic, because returns are quite steady in these industries over time, but they are doing what they usually do.

    Blaming companies or capitalism is lazy and weak. You’re being misdirected by your own government, who creates problems and then needs scapegoats. And by the persistently anti-capitalist intellectuals who have taken over our school systems, and our media, including most of the “business” media.

  39. Phoenix says:

    And the kids were saying “for the culture.”

    Wonder what it means?

    Doing it for the culture is our way of ensuring that we have something to pass on to future generations. Even if it’s something as simple as taking a selfie. That picture proves that we exist, that we existed. Doing it for the culture means that we have a legacy to pass down.

  40. Libturd says:

    It’s just more of the selfishness that has proliferated in the last decade. I don’t know if Trump caused it, but he is definitely a shining example of it.

  41. leftwing says:

    “JP Morgan pro says the Fed has it backwards on inflation, and that the Fed should be lowering rates to lower inflation. He goes on to say high shelter costs are the cause of inflation.”

    How about undoing the backward ass shelter component that is OER?

    Or is the JPM basically arguing that two very bad negatives equals a positive? Did this guy take his CFA with Crayola?

  42. Phoenix says:

    Your government is run by companies and capitalism.

    It’s not a government of the people, for the people.

    It’s a government of the lobbyists, for the lobbyists. Bought and paid for.

  43. Phoenix says:

    Closing on the trial now. Now we wait for the verdict.

  44. Libturd says:

    “The narrative of greedy companies somehow creating inflation is a false one.”

    I don’t see it as a narrative. Just the laws of supply and demand at work. Though, I don’t disagree with most of what you said about government intervention. And I am well aware of the impact of inflation adjusted numbers. It’s funny. When my true Libturd friends were all celebrating the market hitting record highs in their ultra liberal echo chamber, I pointed out how inflation over the past three years has made them less wealthy in their 401K now even if they had slightly more money in their account today compared with what was in their account three years ago. Of course, their response was that it is never measured that way. I claimed that this is intentional and in an ideal world, you would see your inflation adjusted returns, not just your total return. They all thought I was cuckoo.

  45. leftwing says:

    “Gary, you do realize that this inflation is occurring mainly because wealthy people are doing so well they are spending like crazy and producers are raising prices to take advantage of it. Oil keeps moving up because the economy is so hot…”

    Kind of have your political blinders on there, no?

    Yeah, people are spending but pull apart the components of CPI increases…shelter, transportation, medical care were the upsies along with energy, no? Not really discretionary spending by the wealthy…

    And I would disagree with the view that oil is up because of hot economy…while demand is there if you track it much of the move has been geopolitical, including the US taking out Iranian Rev Guards in a strike on Syria. Not mainstream news headlines as it doesn’t generate clicks but your marginal moves are on the back of the Middle East.

  46. leftwing says:

    “TIPS? Taxes eat up most of the yield, right?”

    Good article in reputable source I saw recently if you feel like googling did a study that TIPs haven’t really worked for holders in the way they were intended in recent environment…can’t recall specifics as not a security I really considered but if you are looking at them may be worth a search first…

    “Market will continue to melt up. Today will be ugly. By this time next week, we’ll be right back to where we were.”

    The VIX I hopped into for next week are praying you’re right!!

    Bang. Like an F’n earthquake.

  50. BRT says:

    I didn’t see the baby steps as the problem. The problem was declaring victory too early, it was obvious this wasn’t the case. The baby steps could and should have continued.

  51. Libturd says:

    Left,

    I think it’s a little of both and I read that article on TIPs, or something similar. TIPs are nearly impossible to use effectively anyway.

    I think the largest problem, with all of the data we are reviewing to handicap the market, is this split between the haves and have nots. You almost need two sets of data. The steerage are defaulting on car and credit cards and the rich are buying 5 million dollar homes in cash. I don’t ever recall the disconnect being so large.

    I am not surprised by this inflation report whatsoever. I was in Florida for 9 days having returned on Monday. It was an interesting trip in that we drove over 700 miles as we had a lot of turf to cover for various reasons. Though, we didn’t really do anything terribly fancy, this was probably the most costly 9 days of my life. Keep in mind, I’m extremely frugal when it comes to travel. Here are some of the crazy charges we paid.

    We flew out of JFK so we could get two reward tickets and the other two were $300 each (not bad for Easter weekend travel). No real inflation there.

    Unfortunately, driving to JFK (flight times were not transit friendly, but driver friendly) was $29 in tolls (pure insanity) and $270 in parking (pre-paid, long-term Lefferts lot). Inflation here for sure.

    The rental car (mid size SUV from Budget) was $300. Relatively reasonable considering we were starting at West Palm and finishing in Orlando, though definitely impacted by inflation somewhat.

    First hotel was reasonable for Boca ($221/night for 2 nights).
    Second hotel in Siesta Key half a block from shared beach, was a bargain at ($200/night for 1 night).
    Third hotel in Gainesville was a Priceline special ($100).
    Fourth hotel in Clearwater Beach (Resort, $931 for three nights + $25 a day parking). Most of the other places of similar luxury were $500 a night.
    The last hotel was an airport hotel in Orlando which I nailed on priceline for $75.

    I would say all of the hotels were pretty good deals, and not much more than I would have paid five years ago. None the less, it’s getting harder and harder to find a good hotel deal. None of these hotels were lower than 3 stars and most were significantly better. Even Captain Cheapo has standards. When it comes to lodging, it can’t be a truck stop or an hourly joint.

    Now, where inflation reared its ugly head was at the restaurant. Breakfast entrees are now $12-$15. We rarely ate lunch out. Dinner is reaching ludicrous levels. We ate at a pizza joint that specializes in 12-inch personal pizzas. They started at $15 and went up to $30. This was not a fancy place. Very traditional joint. $120 for 6 people. No drinks. Just 4 pies, a kids meal and 2 shared salads. In a Jersey pizza joint, that’s $80 tops. Most standard mom & pop joints are now $22 to $32 an entree. The average dinner for four is about $120. Add the $60 breakfast and maybe kids size ice cream cones at Kohr’s or Carvel and your easily at $50 per person just to eat frugally. We easily spent $2,000 on food and one of the four of us eat’s of the kids menu and I barely eat these days. Eating out costs are simply out-of-control. Though, I am beginning to think it’s not just inflation, but more the lease cost of the restaurant and the impact of the increases in minimum wage.

    We also played a lot of amazing miniature golf. We played 5 courses focusing on what were supposed to be the best courses in Florida. Mini golf at the Jersey shore is usually around $10 or $12 a person. Sometimes as little as $5 if you play early. This is not the case in Florida. Heck, Tiger Woods and some other pro have opened up a bunch of these modern courses (think banked walls instead of brick, lots of bumps and drink and club holders at every hole. You score on an app and there are leaderboards at the bars and restaurant. You can even order food and drink to be delivered to you at each hole. The felts are very fast and the holes are challenging. $35 plus tax per person! Place was mobbed. My back of the envelope estimate (not including restaurant and bar revenue) was $2.5K an hour easy (including labor). We also went to a great course called Putt A’round in Del Ray ($15) and Castle Golf in Fort Meyers ($15). There was a decent course in Indian Beach near Clearwater called Congo Falls ($20 a person) with lots of steps (185). Finally, we went to one of the most fun courses at Disney the night before we left, which had 100 foot par 4 and par 5 holes. It was really an amazing course, despite the Disney pricing ($25). It did take four of us nearly 90 minutes to complete with no waiting. The D loves mini-golf and we are getting very good at it due to all of our practice. I actually beat par on 3 of the five courses. I sucked at Tiger Woods joint.

    So this trip had to cost us somewhere around $4,000. We had a great time, but I think I would much rather cruise to Bermuda or take advantage of a casino. My advantage play trips tend to cost me closer to $1,000 for a group of 4 and are much more luxurious. Be it Biloxi, New Orleans, Tahoe, etc. All my meals are covered (in fancy fancy restaurants too), half the airfare typically, the hotel suites which are 4-star or better, drinks, you name it. Often, I only pay for a rental car and tips on these trips. Or when I cruise, I get a free balcony room and only have to pay for tips and port fees/taxes. Figure $400 a person for a 7-day vacation. Sometimes less. This is one of my draws with Nevada. Smart gambling can really pay off in spades or clubs, hearts and diamonds.

    How was the vacation? We had a great time, despite the costs. Siesta Key was really quite nice as was Clearwater Beach, though I would take the Jersey Shore over both of them. Of course, you are limited to the Summer up here. We were able to swim in the ocean down there. Florida is basically strip-mall hell with a lot of old people until you get near the beach. It’s already hot this time of the year at mid day and the humidity in the evening is already kicking in. I really am not sure of the great attraction.

  54. leftwing says:

    “That’ll cost Biden”

    This morning on CNBC their liberal host (Ross-Sorkin, who I like a lot) made a funny comment…

    Post CPI he was interviewing a former Fed Pres and wanted his view of what the Fed was thinking now, but editorialized a bit…

    “So tell me what is going on inside the walls of the Fed, I mean we know they’re partying down in Mar-a-Lago…”

    Overnight you went from 56% to 16% of a rate cut in June….July likewise had a 32 percentage point negative swing…

    I maintain the market is offsides on September which is still showing a 67% probability of at least one cut…

    If it doesn’t happen June/July it’s not happening in September unless the economy is in core meltdown…either way a lose/lose for Joe…even if there is a cut that close to the election they don’t filter through the economy in six weeks, ie. while he’ll get the headline no one will see a difference IRL activities.

  55. leftwing says:

    Lib, on the inflation front, generally agree with your post and experienced same with two of my kids recently…did a low effort, destination trip for a 4/5 day weekend. Similar data points. Would add the following…

    Airlines have become much better on yield management and fares are fucking stubborn. Played chicken with United starting 90 days out as their prices were basically fixed as far out as the eye could see, ie. they posted a high ask with little calendar variability…won, kind of, got the last ticket two weeks before departure for $450, down from the $600 mark…purchase price was still quite high to historical, ask was 2x prior.

    Similar for rental cars in that depart/return locations really matter. If they don’t want a return to a certain location they won’t even price, just show ‘no availability’ for that trip…meanwhile they’ll price and take dozens of car choices in a city just 90 miles away…frustrating, but used it to my advantage tweaking our trip a bit. The actual charge I found at or below historical.

    Hotels, seems the opposite. lots of availability at what I would consider historical. Again, requires some shopping and yeah if someone is trying to take a family to a beach location during Spring break all bets are off but seems prices are not unreasonable otherwise.

    Food, forget about it…Higher end grocery chains I literally buy BOGO or not at all. Eating out, similar. Happy hours or nightly specials. Basic menu item prices at even local joints (not talking high end steak joints here) are insane. On a percentage increase basis it seems the local place inflation has far outpaced the higher end place inflation…burgers are up over 2x, my steaks are up by not as much….

    Seems typing the above the market is recognizing your ‘two world’ bifurcation…if someone needs or wants to see prices not much above what would otherwise be historical norms they can get it if they want to put a little effort/compromise in….if you’re just dropping the Platinum and not caring about it or dealing with it later that’s the offer….

    A woman has been sentenced to seven years in prison after admitting cutting off her lover’s penis by tricking him into thinking she was going to perform a sex act on him.

    The 38-year-old was handed her jail sentence after striking a last-minute deal with prosecutors at the start of her trial at a court in Barcelona yesterday.

    She convinced her partner, also her boss, to cover his eyes with a napkin after promising him to give him oral sex, claiming she didn’t want him to look because it made her feel embarrassed.

    She then took out a knife she had hidden into her pocket and sliced off his manhood.

    As well as dating the man she mutilated, he was also her boss at a bar in Sant Andreu de la Barca near Barcelona. They had been seeing each other for four years.

    That makes a lot of sense, $8,000 times 5 days = $40,000 x 50 weeks( allowing 2 weeks off for vacation) = $2 million a year. Somebody likes to exaggerate , VSG is another one who lets DJ Trump live rent free in his noggin, yet is OK with 25% inflation courtesy of lying Joe. Joe promised at least one interest cut today before the election . I guess we can finally figure out the White House got to J. Powell. It is all political, no doubt about that, lets get back to virtual zero. If anything rates should be increased, 7% certainly has not slowed down real estate, so lets cut it even more.

    Inflation is completely on the current administration , giving over 3 million immigrants free housing , healthcare, food and clothing. Giving Ukraine 100 billion dollars creates even more inflation because 75% of that money stays here in America for bombs, ammunition, tanks, trucks, basically all supplies for war come from our factories and inflates our economy. Blaming companies , wealthy people, the last president is nothing but a ploy by the politicians to divert blame from themselves. Yet you all swallow the bait hook line and sinker….and you actually believe it. Even the paying off of student loans , so Joe can get more votes is pathetic, while colleges raise their tuition 5- 10%…because they can, and will. Even though most major colleges have over 10% of the educators making over 1 million plus.

Then, he rallied his misinformed missives to break through police lines, many with gas masks and cable ties, to break into the Capitol Building to disrupt the ratification of the election results.

Or a supreme court judge who says one thing today, and does a 180 tomorrow. That’s some real kangaroo court shit right there.

    But yes, you have the right to choose crazy over corruption. I checked out X (twitter) yesterday. Musk should have renamed it Illuminate or Conspiracy. What a giant flaming tire fire of misinformation. And don’t get me wrong. I believe in the right of such a cesspool of nonsense to exist. It’s just incredibly disturbing to realize there is a huge segment of the population (mostly MAGA), that believe this garbage. Then again, MyPillow guy has ruined has bankrupted his ten million dollar bullshit gig aligning himself with crazy.

  99. Libturd says:

    I’ll give you the russian collusion thing and the hair sniffing thing was strange. But besides Hunter’s corruption, there really is next to nothing else. Trump’s four years, J6, the Supreme Court rulings, the Populists in Congress now, heck, their behavior alone at the SOTUA. All of MAGA supports Trump’s desire to become a dictator. So much for being Constitutionalists and Patriots. The entire thing is one flaming tire fire. Everything is a conspiracy. Every crime gets a pass by the orange supporters. And all you really got is Russian collusion and Biden shit’s his pants.

    Like I said. It’s become the party of crazy. I pray it can be returned to something more viable. What’s worse than a two party system is a one-party system.

Heck, or a Gaza Dream pillow case.

  114. Juice Box says:

    Can someone explain how Joe Biden can tell the DOJ to drop all charges against Julian Assange? And will a Judge even approve it? A grand jury indicted Assange on 17 espionage charges and one hacking computer charge.

    My understanding is the President does not interfere with in the DOJ although they ultimately report to the President under the Executive branch.

    Isn’t the Attorney General supposed to disregard and disobey the President’s direction to indict someone?

    Most things I have been reading over the last few years on this is that the Attorney General and subordinate prosecutors must not accept direction from the President but must make the ultimate decisions about how to conduct individual investigations and prosecutions, even at the risk of being fired for disobeying the President. This goes back to Nixon days, lots of firings and resignations and legislation to make the DOJ independent.

    President’s enumerated power under the Constitution vs Attorney General’s implied authority under legislation. Prosecutors must answer to the law, not the President.

    Let’s see how they twist this to curry favor with young voters, that is the only reason why Sleepy Joe is brining it up now during an election year.

Then the thrice-divorced former reality TV star with a history of sexual misconduct, ceased the opportunity for a photo op to maintain his position as defender of the Christian faith. The Times and Post twisted it to fit a narrative. Sadly, they didn’t need to. Though, some could argue that if the park wasn’t cleared, he could not have played make-believe Christian.

    He is on his fourth partner. He was a former reality TV star. His history of sexual proclivities began with his need to meet his teenage beauty pageant contestants and continued with Jean Carroll finger banging. Then there were allegations of rape by his former wife Ivana. A Jill Harth groping. The list of women who claimed they were grabbed by the pussy is about 50 deep. There are Epstein home allegations too. As for him holding a bible in front of a church? Trump’s cardinal virtues appear to extend only to the accumulation of wealth and fame.

    Whatever LAX.

    It’s OK to force unneeded and not fully tested substances into my child’s body over his consent but yeah, you keep going on barking about the other side trying to keep something in someone else’s body…

    How about this…

    YOU keep your hands off MY body and I promise I won’t object to whatever anyone else wants to do with their body.

    Seems ‘fair’ right?

    Whoops, I forget…the Left’s definition of ‘fair’ is ‘whatever we want to do and cannot justify’……

    MY body is MY body….

    Who’s that? never happened. You mean heal-light? That’s the disinfectant that was the subject at the time. It’s called the “Injecting Bleach Hoax”

    Your opinion is not your own. It was assigned to you.

    THE PRESIDENT: Thank you, Bill.

    Q Mr. Bryan —

    THE PRESIDENT: Thank you very much. So I asked Bill a question that probably some of you are thinking of, if you’re totally into that world, which I find to be very interesting. So, supposing we hit the body with a tremendous — whether it’s ultraviolet or just very powerful light — and I think you said that that hasn’t been checked, but you’re going to test it. And then I said, supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some other way, and I think you said you’re going to test that too. It sounds interesting.

    ACTING UNDER SECRETARY BRYAN: We’ll get to the right folks who could.

    THE PRESIDENT: Right. And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in a minute. One minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning. Because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs. So it would be interesting to check that. So, that, you’re going to have to use medical doctors with. But it sounds — it sounds interesting to me.

    So we’ll see. But the whole concept of the light, the way it kills it in one minute, that’s — that’s pretty powerful.

    when this first hit, I posted this journal article from 2018. The gut reaction from many on this board was paranoia about the UV light and a clear misunderstanding of how UV light can be safely used to treat various things.

    https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6122858/

    Ultraviolet blood irradiation (UBI) was extensively used in the 1940s and 1950s to treat many diseases including septicemia, pneumonia, tuberculosis, arthritis, asthma and even poliomyelitis. The early studies were carried out by several physicians in USA and published in the American Journal of Surgery. However with the development of antibiotics, UBI use declined and it has now been called “the cure that time forgot”. Later studies were mostly performed by Russian workers and in other Eastern countries and the modern view in Western countries is that UBI remains highly controversial.

    This chapter discusses the potential of UBI as an alternative approach to current methods used to treat infections, as an immune-modulating therapy and as a method for normalizing blood parameters. No resistance of microorganisms to UV irradiation has been reported, and multi- antibiotic resistant strains are as susceptible as their wild-type counterparts. Low and mild doses of UV kill microorganisms by damaging the DNA, while any DNA damage in host cells can be rapidly repaired by DNA repair enzymes. However the use of UBI to treat septicemia cannot be solely due to UV-mediated killing of bacteria in the blood-stream, as only 5–7% of blood volume needs to be treated with UV to produce the optimum benefit. UBI may enhance the phagocytic capacity of various phagocytic cells (neutrophils and dendritic cells), inhibit lymphocytes, and oxidize blood lipids. The oxidative nature of UBI may have mechanisms in common with ozone therapy and other oxygen therapies. There may be some similarities to extracorporeal photopheresis (ECP) using psoralens and UVA irradiation. However there are differences between UBI and ECP in that UBI tends to stimulate the immune system, while ECP tends to be immunosuppressive. With the recent emergence of bacteria that are resistant to all known antibiotics, UBI should be more investigated as an alternative approach to infections, and as an immune-modulating therapy.

    “This is a guy, Jared Kushner, who had no expertise, no qualification whatsoever to be in the White House while he was there. He made it his account to work in the Gulf Arab states. He basically helped lead the cover-up for [Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud]. Get him in from the cold after the murder of Jamal Khashoggi.”
    Rhodes said Kushner securing a $2 billion investment from Saudi Arabia six months after leaving the White House is a way for Salman to exert influence on U.S. foreign policy if Trump returns to the Oval Office after the November election.
    “Basically, what we can take from that investment is that in a second Trump term, U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East and around the world will be made entirely with the interests of Mohammed bin Salman in mind,” Rhodes said.
    Kushner oversaw Middle East policy during his time in the Trump administration. The investment was scrutinized after the Times reported in 2022 that the Saudi sovereign’s advisory panel was in favor of giving funds to Kushner’s firm, arguing because of his “inexperience,” but the decision was reversed by a bigger board headed by Salman.
    “He chose to work on issues in the Middle East, and he chose to work with the Gulf Arab states, knowing that the payout would be on the back end,” Rhodes said, pointing to the impeachment inquiry into President Biden by House Republicans, who allege his son, Hunter, used access to his father for profit.

    Actually what where the odds of the Anti Vaxers going for blood purification with UV light or bleach anyway.

  173. Fabius Maximusa says:

    Umm,

    I think you need to understand Net Neutrality a bit better. It has nothing to do with Obama.

    Back in the day Netflix stood back while the ISPs pushed to get rid of NN. The view then was that it would be a benefit to Netflix as they could pay to have the streaming prioritized. It was the Trump appointed FCC head that dumped NN. The ISPs were then Netflix, FU Pay me or we can actually downgrade you.

    So now Netflix wants to get back to the old world of NN, where they are on the even playing field.

    First Safety Study Utilizing Ultraviolet A Light Catheter as a Prospective Anti-Infective in Critically Ill, Intubated SARS-Cov-2 Patients

    ENGLEWOOD, CO / ACCESSWIRE / December 28, 2020 / Aytu BioScience , Inc. (NASDAQ:AYTU), a specialty pharmaceutical company (the “Company”) focused on commercializing novel products that address significant patient needs announced the completion of the safety study evaluating the Healight™ ultraviolet A light catheter technology. This single center, U.S.-based study evaluated the safety and proof of principle of the Healight device in newly intubated critically ill patients on mechanical ventilation diagnosed with COVID-19.

    The data collected from this clinical investigational-use-only study will be presented to the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) as part of the review process for Healight as a COVID-19 treatment. The results from this study will also be submitted for publication.

    Josh Disbrow, Chief Executive Officer of Aytu BioScience, commented, “This is an important milestone, and we look forward to continuing discussions with the FDA on the advancement of the Healight technology.”

    The Healight technology platform employs proprietary methods of administering intermittent ultraviolet (UV) A light via a novel respiratory tract device. Pre-clinical findings indicate the technology’s significant impact on reducing a wide range of viral and bacterial loads, including the coronavirus HCoV-229E, which is associated with the common cold. Recently published pre-clinical data have been the basis of discussions with the FDA for a path to enable human use for the potential treatment of SARS-CoV-2 in intubated patients in the intensive care unit (ICU).
