These districts are being formed as community districts, where there exists state laws, for the formation of geographic areas which are qualified as private federal contractors, under local parishes, the lower rung of hierarchy in the church, under the dioceses, where the mother is the Archdiocese of Detroit, where the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops take oaths of fealty to a foreign nation state called the Vatican, or perhaps, GoldmanSachs DeutcheBank, but, hey, what do I know?
I know what gerrymandering is in the era of modern day human trafficking.
The statues that are being torn down are registered with the U.S. Geological Survey, for global recognition of authority, but authority under what corporate parent?
This is how the U.S. is being invaded.
Praise the lord.
Detroit neighborhood names could be changed, under proposed ordinance
Historic Indian Village on Detroit's east side. This Historic District is on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places since 1972 and has many architecturally- significant homes built in the early 20th century.
Detroit residents may soon get a chance to rename their neighborhood under a proposal sponsored by City Council President Pro Tem Mary Sheffield.
If passed, the proposed Neighborhood Renaming Ordinance would allow Detroiters to submit an application to give their neighborhood an official moniker or rename an existing one.
"In the midst of the revitalization that is happening in our city and as neighborhoods begin to redevelop, there's going to be a desire to want to change names," Sheffield told the Free Press on Thursday. "But it's important that council has a voice and it's important the neighborhood is also engaged in the process, too."
Across the country, statues have been taken down, sports teams have changed their names and buildings are getting new titles. Gov. Gretchen Whitmer over the summer stripped the name of slave owner Lewis Cass from a state office building, now called the Elliott-Larsen Building.
"In light of what's really going on nationally, we're seeing a lot of monuments being taken down and people wanting to research what names really stand for," Sheffield said.

A draft ordinance is under consideration by the City Council's Neighborhood and Community Services Standing Committee. Next, a public hearing will take place during which residents can suggest changes to the ordinance. After that, it will be up to City Council to approve. Sheffield said the goal is to have it pass before the council recesses in November.
One contender for renaming is Indian Village.
Resident Jared TenBrink, who wrote a letter in July calling for a name change of his neighborhood, said the ordinance is a positive development and one around which he and about a dozen other residents are mobilizing.
They started a petition this week for the application and have collected 30 signatures as of Thursday. Their goal is to get 50% of residents, or roughly 375 people, to sign on. Since the application requires a 20% buy-in, TenBrink said they would settle for about 150 but they want a majority to be on board.
Indian Village on Detroit's east side has been on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places since 1972.
In his letter, TenBrink, 41, of the Nottawaseppi Huron Band of Potawatomi said the name is historically inaccurate because there is no record of an American Indian settlement on that site.
"If Land O'Lakes Butter can remove the American Indian woman off of their packaging, we can remove American Indian references off of our neighborhood name because the name wasn't chosen to uplift or empower people, it was chosen to sell houses," TenBrink said.
An Aug. 3 neighborhood association meeting didn't lead to a resolution, TenBrink said. But it did lead to their newsletter being renamed to "The Indian Village Newsletter" instead of "Smoke Signals."
There are some neighbors who disagree with the name change. But TenBrink said the ordinance, which proposes a formal process, may help.
"I think we can create a new identity and we can create a new neighborhood perception together. But it is still a big shock for people," he said. "That's one of the big things ... that can come out of something like this. It'll really empower communities to decide how they want to identify."
Though they have a few dozen signatures to date, Indian Village residents may be calling their neighborhood "The Village."
Still, some Detroit residents don't want to change their neighborhood name.
The idea for the ordinance came after some Virginia Park residents expressed concern when the city proposed possible name changes for their community, Sheffield said.
Some ideas included "Henry Ford Neighborhood" or "Herman Kiefer Neighborhood," Julian Witherspoon, president of the Virginia Park Citizen District Council, said.
"We are adamant about being known as the Virginia Park neighborhood. ...We have a history of accomplishments," Witherspoon, 63, said.
Witherspoon said the ordinance may give Detroit residents "a voice at the table" to express opinions and concerns.
Under Detroit city code, parks can be renamed. Sheffield said her ordinance is another formal process to now change the name of neighborhoods.
If approved, Detroiters can start submitting applications between June 1 and July 1. The person who submits the paperwork must be 18 or older.
The proposed name — either an individual or an entity — should come with an application package including signatures of 20% of the residents who live in the neighborhood; the historical, cultural or social significance of the new name; a map or photographs of the area; a summary of public outreach with neighborhood, business and commercial property owners associations.
The Department of Neighborhoods would receive and review the application — like checking for duplicates or inappropriate suggestions — which would then be forwarded to City council for approval. There would also be a public hearing prior to the potential name change.
"I think there's going to be a lot of different forthcoming possible proposals that we haven't seen yet," Sheffield said. "But we want to have an effective process in place to make sure it happens with transparency and with community at the table."

This is about Parental Rights.

11 Men See Charges as AG's Clergy Abuse Investigation Hits 2-year Mark
LANSING – Millions of documents have been reviewed and 11 men have been or are being prosecuted by Attorney General Dana Nessel’s office since authorities executed search warrants two years ago on all seven of Michigan’s Catholic dioceses as part of the state's investigation into clergy abuse.
Forty-two Michigan State Police troopers, five officers from different law enforcement agencies and 15 special agents from the Attorney General’s office executed search warrants on Oct. 3, 2018, at Michigan’s seven dioceses. In that effort, they seized 220 boxes of paper documents and more than 3.5 million digital documents.
Due to a slowdown in court operations as a result of COVID-19, no charged cases have been resolved through plea deals or trial since late 2019. However, the review of documents has continued along with other steps to further the investigation. To date, the department has:
- Completed the paper document review of the Gaylord, Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo, Lansing and Marquette dioceses. Of the 220 boxes of paper documents seized, about 78 boxes remain;
- Completed the electronic document review of the Gaylord, Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo and Marquette dioceses;
- Hired and trained a full-time victim advocate to support the hundreds of victims identified in the course of the investigation;
- Continued to refer the completed criminal investigations back to the respective dioceses; and
- Followed up with victims who have not been interviewed with a trauma-informed interviewer – including those whose cases are barred by the Statute of Limitations, where the accused priest has died or any other reason that makes criminal prosecution impossible.
Through the department’s review of paper documents alone, 454 accused priests and 811 reported victims have been identified. That number may change as investigatory efforts continue.
As of Sept. 28, the Attorney General’s Clergy Abuse Investigative Team had reviewed more than 2.24 million of the digital documents seized.
Attorney General Nessel recorded a video message to outline the progress her office has made
“I am deeply proud of the work our Clergy Abuse Investigative Team has done – and we are dedicated to continuing this incredibly important work,” Nessel said. “We are committed to ensuring that every case of sexual abuse and assault is thoroughly reviewed and that whenever we are able to pursue justice for a victim, we do so aggressively and relentlessly. We must all commit to breaking down the walls of silence that so often surround sexual assault and abuse. In the end, we hope this investigation provides a voice to those who have suffered in silence for so long and shines a light on those offenders who have escaped punishment for their crimes by hiding in shadows.”
In addition to the paper and digital documents seized from the dioceses, information is also received through the Attorney General’s clergy abuse tip line: 1-844-324-3374. That has generated 750 tips related to abuse, leading to 112 police investigations, 180 victim interviews and 285 police reports.
The Michigan Department of Attorney General’s clergy abuse investigation has resulted in 11 cases being prosecuted so far:
- Vincent DeLorenzo, who was a priest at Holy Redeemer Church in Burton, Michigan was arrested in Marion County, Florida in May 2019 and charged with three felony counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct and three felony counts of second-degree criminal sexual conduct.

Of Parental Rights: What Amy Coney Barrett Did Not Disclose On Her SCOTUS Confirmation Hearing Application: "How Did You Get Those Tiny Haitian Humans?"
Well, I guess it is just pro forma when you take a foreign oath of fealty to intentionally omit how you traffic tiny humans.
John Roberts did it, so why not Amy?
Besides, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops need her on November 4th to cloak the stealin' the children, land and vote, more readily recognized as gerrymandering.
If not, the heavens shall fall and Catholic Charities will no longer be able to acquire goods to procure and purvey tiny humans through Foster Care and Adoption, making all the assets of their tiny human trust funds, toxic.
Not one member of the Senate Judiciary Committee asked Amy how she got those tiny Haitian Humans.

Some White colonizers "adopted" Black children. They "civilized" these "savage" children in the "superior" ways of White people, while using them as props in their lifelong pictures of denial, while cutting the biological parents of these children out of the picture of humanity. https://t.co/XBE9rRnoqq

(CNN)Judge Amy Coney Barrett initially failed to disclose two talks she gave in 2013 hosted by two anti-abortion student groups on paperwork provided to the Senate ahead of her confirmation hearing to become the next Supreme Court justice.
Barrett, President Donald Trump's nominee to succeed Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, gave the talks -- a lecture and a seminar -- in 2013 in her capacity as a law professor at the University of Notre Dame. The seminar was co-sponsored by the school's Right to Life club and constitutional studies minor, and the lecture was held by the law school's Jus Vitae club. CNN's KFile found advertisements for two lectures on social media and in a weekly Notre Dame faculty newsletter.
Late on Friday night, hours after this story published, the Senate Judiciary Committee released a supplemental update to Barrett's committee questionnaire that includes the lecture and seminar, as well as a paid advertisement she signed that criticized Roe v. Wade and reaffirmed support for Notre Dame's "commitment to the right to life." The release came after CNN asked the White House about the advertisement earlier on Friday.
It is not known what was said in the two events, though both centered on abortion court cases. In a separate instance, CNN's KFile found a publicized talk that Barrett gave to coincide with the 40th anniversary of Roe v. Wade -- a seminar Barrett disclosed in her Senate paperwork -- was removed by the university from YouTube in 2014. A school spokesman told CNN the video is now lost.
Content by CNN Underscored
Barrett's confirmation to the Supreme Court would strengthen its current conservative majority -- creating a 6-3 bloc of conservative justices -- and could limit abortion access.
Barrett's initial failure to disclose the two events also raises questions about whether the questionnaire is complete or whether there will be any consequences from the Republican-led Senate Judiciary Committee, which oversees her confirmation hearing. Past chairmen of the powerful committee have halted the nomination process after judicial nominees omitted information in their Senate paperwork but under committee Chairman Lindsey Graham that scenario is unlikely.
The committee has slated a hearing for Barrett on October 12 in an effort to confirm her by the full Senate before the election.
Senate Democrats on the Judiciary Committee sent a letter to the Justice Department this week that said Barrett did omit materials concerning Roe v. Wade and asked if Barrett omitted any more materials after the National Review reported that Barrett signed a letter on a "right to life" ad in 2006 that called for the end of the landmark legal decision.
White House spokesperson Judd Deere told CNN in an email, "Judge Barrett submitted her lengthy Senate Judiciary Questionnaire, spoke with an overwhelming majority of the Senate Judiciary Committee, and continues to be transparent throughout her confirmation process. She looks forward to answering questions from the Senators next week."
A spokesperson for the Senate Judiciary Committee told CNN "it is a very normal practice" for Supreme Court nominees to update their questionnaire, noting that several current Supreme Court justices also supplied updated copies.
CNN reached out multiple times to Barrett through her law chambers but did not get a response.
While Barrett's association with anti-abortion groups has come under scrutiny -- including signing a Right to Life ad in 2006 -- little has been examined about her work with anti-abortion groups at Notre Dame. Barrett gave the talks hosted by the anti-abortion student groups while she was also a member of the Notre Dame chapter University Faculty for Life, which staunchly opposes abortion.
In 2016, the group sent a letter asking the university to rescind an award honored to then-Vice President Joe Biden in recognition for his work as an American Catholic. The group called it "a scandalous violation of the University's moral responsibility (as the American bishops wrote in 2004) never to honor those who act in defiance of fundamental moral principles about the sanctity of life" and attacked his views on abortion.
Barrett initially failed to disclose two seminars she gave students on Roe v. Wade
In April 2013, Barrett gave a small hour-long seminar "for students on changes to law and life for women after Roe v. Wade" entitled "Being a Woman After Roe."
According to a copy of the Facebook event advertising the seminar, spots were limited to 15 students. A student publication promoted the event as an informal seminar, small group setting in which students can learn more from faculty members who oppose abortion.
"The Right to Life Seminar Series was begun as an opportunity for students and professors to discuss a variety of issues related to human life and dignity," an advertisement for the event reads.
The conservative judge also did not disclose that in November 2013 she spoke to Jus Vitae, the law school's Right to Life club, on "The Supreme Court's Abortion Jurisprudence." The law school advertised the lecture as focusing on Roe v. Wade and the cases that followed it, including cases that were being litigated on the lower courts at that time.
The lecture Barrett did disclose was entitled "Roe at 40: The Supreme Court, Abortion, and the Culture War that Followed," taking place in January 2013 and open to the university community. It was co-sponsored by the university's Constitutional Studies minor.
However, video for the lecture, which CNN's KFile found on the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine was advertised by the school as being available on YouTube, was removed by the user in 2014, according to a YouTube spokesperson.
Of 11 lectures publicized as available to watch on the school's event, only Barrett's was removed from YouTube.
After CNN inquired to obtain video of the event, a university spokesperson, Dennis K. Brown, told CNN, "We have checked with the organizer of the event [sic] have no information on what has become of the video of that lecture."
Several on-campus publications covered the event and Barrett's remarks at the time.
The Observer, Notre Dame's student newspaper, wrote that Barrett said, ''I think it is very unlikely at this point that the court is going to overturn Roe as curbed by [Planned Parenthood v.] Casey. The fundamental element, that the woman has a right to choose abortion, will probably stand," she said.
The Irish Rover, a student publication covering Catholic identity, quoted Barrett as saying, "whether or not Roe gets overturned is irrelevant," saying the question of abortion would return to the state level and could still be legal in certain states.
Anti-Biden letter
As Barrett gave talks on abortion to groups associated with the on-campus Right to Life groups, Barrett was also a member of the university's chapter of the University Faculty for Life from the group's founding in 2010 until 2016, according to her Senate paperwork.
While she was a member of the group, the group unanimously passed a resolution for a letter calling on the university to rescind an award given to then-Vice President Biden because of his beliefs on abortion.
"Notre Dame claims to award the Laetare Medal 'annually to an American Catholic in recognition of outstanding service to Church and society,'" the letter reads. "But our Faculty for Life Chapter agrees with Bishop Kevin Rhoades that the awarding of the Laetare Medal to Vice-President Biden is a scandalous violation of the University's moral responsibility (as the American bishops wrote in 2004) never to honor those who act in defiance of fundamental moral principles about the sanctity of life."
The faculty letter attacks Biden's position on abortion for not wanting to "impose" the Catholic Church's teachings on abortion upon a woman or a doctor, supporting the death penalty and for rejecting "the truth that human life begins at conception." It also states that public officials like Biden have "an especially grave duty to preserve" life.
Preserving the residuals of the peculiar institution is just the work of the foreign tax exempt god.
Praise the lord.

As Vatican faces financial review, pope condemns ‘idolatry’ of neoliberal economy
ROME – Pope Francis Thursday condemned the prioritizing of money over people and touted several steps the Holy See has taken to ensure financial transparency.
The pope was speaking to representatives of Moneyval, the Council of Europe’s anti-money laundering watchdog, who are in Rome conducting its annual review of the Vatican, following a year of money-related scandals.
The pope thanked them for the visit, saying their work is “dear to my heart” because it is closely tied to “the protection of life, the peaceful coexistence of the human race on earth, and a financial system that does not oppress those who are weakest and in greatest need.”
“It is all linked together,” he said, and pointed to his new encyclical Fratelli Tutti, in which he condemned neoliberal economic structures as having failed in the wake of the COVID-19 coronavirus, calling for resources to be invested in development in impoverished countries to end hunger and assure citizens of a dignified life, rather than in “fear or nuclear, chemical and biological threats.”
Catholic social teaching, he said, “has underscored the error of the neoliberal dogma which holds that the economic and moral orders are so completely distinct from one another that the former is in no way dependent on the latter.”
“In light of the present circumstances, it would seem that the worship of the ancient golden calf has returned in a new and ruthless guise in the idolatry of money and the dictatorship of an impersonal economy lacking a truly human purpose,” he said, insisting that “financial speculation fundamentally aimed at quick profit continues to wreak havoc.”
Francis’s remarks echo sentiments expressed in Fratelli Tutti, published Oct. 4, and in which he argued that in many countries, “a concept of popular and national unity influenced by various ideologies is creating new forms of selfishness and a loss of the social sense under the guise of defending national interests.”
Lack of concern for the poor and vulnerable “can hide behind a populism that exploits them demagogically for its own purposes, or a liberalism that serves the economic interests of the powerful,” he said, noting that in both cases, “it becomes difficult to envisage an open world that makes room for everyone, including the most vulnerable, and shows respect for different cultures.”
“It seems that in many places the supremacy of money over human beings is taken for granted,” he said in Thursday’s remarks, noting that at times, “in the effort to amass wealth, there is little concern for where it comes from, the more or less legitimate activities that may have produced it, and the mechanisms of exploitation that may be behind it.”
“Thus, situations can occur where, in touching money, we get blood on our hands, the blood of our brothers and sisters,” he said.
The Moneyval representatives are in Rome to review the Holy See’s efforts to fight money laundering and financial terrorism. The review comes after a year of financial scandal that has left many wondering whether the Vatican might be blacklisted, meaning it would be frozen out of international markets and could face higher financial transaction costs.
In 2009 the Vatican signed onto the EU Monatery Convention, thus submitting to the body’s evaluation process, in an effort to clean up its financial image, which for a longtime had been seen as an offshore tax haven laden with scandal.
In the past, Moneyval has criticized the Vatican for failing to follow-up on dozens of suspicious transaction reports from the Financial Information Authority (AIF), the Vatican’s financial watchdog. However, last year Vatican prosecutors opened an investigation into a shady London property deal in which the Vatican’s Secretariat of State sunk some 350 million euros (nearly $400 million) into the property using funds donated to papal charities.
An investigation was launched after the Secretariat of State requested a loan from the Vatican bank to buy the property, reportedly without following reporting requirements under new financial transparency laws decreed by Francis earlier this year. Several officials have been fired or suspended amid the investigation; however, so far non one has been indicted.
As part of that initial inquest, the Vatican police seized documents from the AIF’s offices, leading the Vatican being to be temporarily suspended from The Egmont Group, the world’s main international anti-money laundering federation, over security concerns.
The Egmont Group readmitted the Vatican in late January, despite the fact that in the meantime the head of AIF, Swiss lawyer Rene Brülhart and a former vice-chair of the Egmont Group, was forced out of his Vatican position the previous November.
On Sept. 24, Pope Francis fired Italian Cardinal Angelo Becciu from his post as head of the Vatican’s saint-making office.
– who in his previous role as sostituto, or “substitute,” in the Secretariat of State, a position traditionally likened to the Chief of Staff for a U.S. president – from his post as head of the Vatican’s saint-making office.
Becciu served as sostituto in the Secretariat of State from 2011-2018 – the sostituto, or “substitute,” is a position traditionally likened to the Chief of Staff for a U.S. president – meaning the London deal happened under his watch. Becciu has denied any fault in the matter and has insisted that his ousting was related to allegations that he gave Holy See contracts to companies run by his brothers – accusations which he denies.
Speaking to Moneyval representatives, Pope Francis stressed that policies meant to counter money laundering and terrorism “are a means of monitoring movements of money and of intervening in cases where irregular or even criminal activities are detected.”
Referring to the Gospel passage in which Jesus drove merchants from the temple, he said that “once the economy loses its human face, then we are no longer served by money, but ourselves become servants of money.”
“This is a form of idolatry against which we are called to react by reestablishing the rational order of things, which appeals to the common good whereby money must serve, not rule,” he said.
To this end, Francis highlighted several new laws the Vatican has introduced this year aimed at “ensuring transparency” in its financial affairs preventing financial crimes, including a June 1 procurement law meant to combat nepotism and feudalism by centralizing control over the awarding of contracts for goods and services in the Administration of the Patrimony of the Apostolic See (APSA), the body managing the Vatican’s assets.
He also pointed to an Aug. 18 Ordinance of the President of the Governorate requiring volunteer organizations and juridical persons of the Vatican City State to report suspicious activities to AIF.
Though he did not mention it in his speech, Francis on Oct. 5 established a new commission charged with determining which of the Vatican’s economic activities should remain confidential, judging on a case-by-case basis.
Pope Francis closed Thursday’s remarks by thanking Moneyval reps for “the service you provide,” saying the measures and structures they are evaluating are designed to promote “a clean finance, in which the merchants are prevented from speculating in that sacred temple which, in accordance with the Creator’s plan of love, is humanity.”

The Pastoral Plays Of Jorge: Pompeo, China, The Vatican & The Integration Corporate Parental Rights
How very special!
The U.S. and the Vatican want to integrate chattel law in China.
Why?
Because it is so passe' to use the term assimilation.
Oh, and UNIDROIT et al is rewriting chattel law to create Corporate Parental Rights, or rather to recodify the hierarchy of human asset management to better maximize revenues in what the world is coming to see as modern human trafficking in the name of the tax exempt god.
Naughty, naughty, very naughty Pence & Pompeo!
People may conjure images of Native American christian boarding schools, whose histories are exclusively excluded from U.S. curriculae and literature, because, you know, if we preserved the legacies of this nation, I would not have to constantly document this crap covering up the residuals of the peculiar institution which is the Child Welfare System, for they only slapped a cross on the salvific plantations after the Emancipation Proclamation, because you have to be over the age of 15 years to qualify.
China has lots of people who make lots of babies the private corporations like to use to make those wonderful, magical pills to cure all your ills, researched and administrated by the Vatican.
Do not let me mention the revenue maximization possibilities of all those absolutely glorious churches, who shall evangelized that turn key Detroit transposable model of stealin' the children, land & vote, the same thing they did in Russia.
CRS' HISTORY IN CHINA
Since 2004, CRS has supported the development of the emerging social service sector in China, with a particular focus on providing care and support services for people with HIV and their families. CRS expanded in 2012 to include services for cancer patients and their families.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the number of cancer cases is rising “ferociously” in China. About 2.2 million people die every year from the disease. For men, the most commonly diagnosed form of the disease is lung cancer. For women, it is breast cancer. WHO says many deaths could be prevented, mainly by reducing the country’s very high smoking rates. There are more than 300 million smokers in China with more than half of all men as regular smokers. WHO says air pollution, particularly in urban areas, is also a contributing risk factor for cancer in China.
I wonder what will happen when the people do not want to accept the christian integration socioeconomic model when the find out it failed, miserably, in its first test pilot City of Detroit.
*awkward*
The evangelical corporate parental rights human asset forfeiture network is already up and running.
I want to know why Pompeo is engaging in private matters on behalf of private corporations like the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, who are the ones running all the child welfare contracts when it comes to trafficking tiny humans.
Is christian integration election interference or are we to stick with the more traditional evangelical term of gerrymandering?
Better yet, I want to know why Pompeo is touching anything dealing with Catholic Charities when he should be fully aware of a matter pending before SCOTUS on whether or not to terminate the right to keep and bear the arms of the United States on November 4, 2020, the day after the 2020 Presidential Election, which is based upon the Electoral Vote of Electors who cast ballots, and not the Popular Vote by Qualified Voters who vote for the Electors, who will constantly change the the vote, by blackmail or bribe of a foreign actor, rather a christian corporation, registered under a state seal, with foreign oaths of fealty, like Christ, but the children's trusts are a completely different subject matter in dealing with all that money laundering out the IOR, more readily recognized as the Vatican Bank, by and through DeutscheBank and GoldmanSachs, in the heavy presence of Detroit legal situations.
The Vice President is over foreign policy and the Secretary of State is the signator, which tells me Trump has been falsely advised as these people develop false claims narratives to cover up what they are doing and what they have done since the very first Papal Bull.
To be continued because I need to breathe....

The Michigan Pedophilic Network - Foster Care & Adoption Trafficking Tiny Humans Through Google & Microsoft - MARE
Are you lonely and broke?
Do you have a penchant for skin to skin contact with tiny humans?
Well, why not become a foster parent and join the global community of Those Who Like To Do Nasty Things To Tiny Humans.
This is what the online pedophilic propaganda is covering up - Foster Care & Adoption.
Besides, you can get paid and never get caught getting your freak on in the name of the tax exempt god.

"Let me hold you in my arms and make you forget about going home to your family."
Michigan Department of Health and Human Services is marketing, through the Michigan Adoption Resource Exchange, the promotion of hugging and kissing on foster kids in the online free games in exchange for watching the videos for extra play credits to an AI google inspired, targeted population, of older adults who are lonely and in need of a side income.
Think about that.
Now, think about this.
MARE is private, not public, which means it operates behind the iron curtain because there are not FOIA or civil rights.
