Private school announces ban on staffers who take coronavirus vaccines, as they might threaten the health of students

(Natural News) The Centner Academy in Miami sent out an email to its staff this past week warning them not to take any Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) injections because of the serious risks involved.

Administrators at the private school explained that it is simple too risky for “unvaccinated individuals” to have injected people roaming around campus. Any staff member who does get vaccinated will not be allowed to remain employed.

“Until further notice, we ask any employee who has not yet taken the experimental COVID-19 injection, to wait until the end of the school year,” the email reads.

“We also recommended that all faculty and staff hold off on taking the injection until there is further research available on whether this experimental drug is impacting unvaccinated individuals.”

Until further information is known about these experimental injections and how they impact others, Centner has made it an official policy to not employ anyone who has received one.

“Tens of thousands of women all over the world have recently been reporting adverse reproductive issues from being in close proximity with those who have received any one of the COVID-19 injections,” the email goes on to explain.

Former Gaetz associate strikes deal to plead guilty and cooperate with prosecutors

This guy's cooperation will probably bring down a sitting Congressman (and full-on sleazebag)

Former Gaetz associate strikes deal to plead guilty and cooperate with prosecutors
By Katelyn Polantz, CNN

Updated 3:36 PM ET, Fri May 14, 2021

(CNN)An indicted close confidant of Florida Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz, has struck a deal with federal prosecutors to greatly reduce his criminal case and plans to help investigators in their sprawling investigation that includes a sex trafficking probe.

Joel Greenberg, a former Seminole County, Florida, tax commissioner, had faced decades in prison on 33 federal counts that ranged from identity theft to sex trafficking of a minor, as well as fraud and bribery allegations.
He plans to now plead guilty to six federal charges, after striking a deal with prosecutors, including a count of sex trafficking of a child, according to a new court filing.

READ: Plea agreement from former Gaetz associate Joel Greenberg http://www.cnn.com/2021/05/14/politics/ ... index.html
The Greenberg plea documents released Friday paint the picture of a man gone wild -- using popular cellphone apps to make contacts, paying thousands of dollars for sex with younger women, having drug-laced, multi-person rendezvous at hotels like an Embassy Suites, and repeatedly taking advantage of his public office's power and financial coffers.
The Orlando-based federal court revealed on Thursday that Greenberg was planning to plead guilty next week, but details weren't initially available.
Federal investigators are still examining whether Gaetz broke federal sex trafficking, prostitution and public corruption laws and whether he had sex with a minor. Gaetz has not been charged and denies any wrongdoing. The congressman isn't mentioned in the 86 pages of plea deal documents released on Friday.
A spokesperson for Gaetz did not immediately respond to CNN's request for comment following the plea deal documents' release.
Previously, CNN reported that Greenberg had been providing information to investigators about how he and Gaetz had encounters with women who were given cash or gifts in exchange for sex.
And prosecutors hint at others whom Greenberg was in contact with.

As part of his plea deal, Greenberg plans to admit in court that he introduced a child "to other adult men, who engaged in commercial sex acts with the Minor in the Middle District of Florida," according to the document filed Friday.
After he was arrested, Greenberg also contacted the victim, "directly and through one of the Minor's friends" to encourage the person to lie, the document said.
Prosecutors describe the sex trafficking scheme in the plea documents as a series of "sugar daddy"-style relationships where Greenberg frequently tried to hide some of his 150 or more payments to women.
He paid women more than $70,000 for sex over two years through December 2018, the document detailing his admissions says.
Greenberg sought out women on a website for "sugar daddies," prosecutors said, then paid them through his personal Venmo account, bank account and credit card. He also used an American Express card from his tax collector's office.
When he would send the payments of a few hundred dollars over the mobile app Venmo, Greenberg would mark them as school-related, "food" or "ice cream" expenses.
A girl who at the time was younger than 18 had met Greenberg over the website, prosecutors said, and told him she was an adult. They then communicated over Snapchat, another messaging app, until they met on a boat.
On the boat, they didn't have sex, but Greenberg still paid the girl $400, prosecutors say. Later, Greenberg paid more than $400 for sex with the girl at a hotel in central Florida, he admits in the plea deal.

The hotel meetings then became more frequent -- as did Greenberg's communications with the victim in 2017. And Greenberg began to offer paying her and others to take the drug Ecstasy, Greenberg admitted in his plea documents.
"Greenberg and the Minor met at hotels in the Middle District of Florida, often with others, at which Greenberg and the Minor engaged in commercial sex acts," at least seven times, his plea admissions document says.
Greenberg also is admitting as part of his plea deal to a cryptocurrency scam, where he used tax collector funds to buy crypto, to scamming the federal coronavirus aid program, and to harassing a teacher who was his political opponent.
He also admits that he leveraged his access to a state driver's license system to make fake IDs. The women he paid for sex he also offered some of the licenses he stole, prosecutors say.

I read the plea agreement in its entirety.
They are only using six of the thirty three counts in the indictment, but those six are pretty bad. :-o
His buddy, Florida Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz, L-) is going to be toast after this guy is finished singing. :))

Former Matt Gaetz associate Joel Greenberg pleads guilty to six federal charges

https://edition.cnn.com/2021/05/17/poli ... index.html

Washington (CNN)Joel Greenberg, a former Florida tax collector and close confidant of Florida Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz, formally pleaded guilty on Monday morning to six federal charges in a court hearing, admitting to a federal judge that he had knowingly solicited and paid a minor for sex.

Greenberg spoke sparingly throughout the 45-minute hearing and with a tone of dejection, responding "yes" and "I do" as the judge read the details of his plea agreement. He wore a dark jumpsuit and had his hands shackled in front of him.
The guilty plea from Greenberg, a former Seminole County, Florida, tax commissioner, comes after he struck a deal with federal prosecutors to avoid some of the other 33 federal charges he had faced that ranged from identity theft to fraud and bribery allegations.
As part of the plea, Greenberg has agreed to give "substantial assistance" to prosecutors as part of their sprawling investigation, including by testifying at trials or in federal grand juries if needed and in turning over all documents he might have that could help the federal inquiry.
Federal investigators are still examining whether Gaetz broke federal sex trafficking, prostitution and public corruption laws and whether he had sex with a minor. Gaetz has not been charged and denies any wrongdoing.
Previously, CNN reported that Greenberg had been providing information to investigators about how he and Gaetz had encounters with women who were given cash or gifts in exchange for sex.
The Greenberg plea documents released Friday document how he used popular cellphone apps to make contacts, paid thousands of dollars for sex with younger women, had drug-laced, multi-person rendezvous at hotels and repeatedly took advantage of his public office's power and financial coffers.

Gaetz isn't mentioned in the 86 pages of plea deal documents released last Friday, which his spokesman, Harlan Hill, pointed to on Friday when in a statement responding to the plea agreement.
Greenberg's admitted sex charge carries a mandatory minimum sentence of 10 years in prison, yet prosecutors in the plea deal said that if he helped them significantly, he may be able get a sentence less than the minimum.
Greenberg's cooperation with the government was briefly addressed in the hearing. Judge Leslie Hoffman told Greenberg how his cooperation could potentially impact his final sentence, and Greenberg acknowledged that he understood.
As part of the agreement, Greenberg also pleaded guilty to charges of fraud and stalking a political rival. He will have to register as a sex offender and pay restitution to the minor victim.
Roger Handberg, the prosecutor handling the case, told the court that the plea agreement discussed Monday was the entirety of the agreement -- no portion of the agreement remained under seal and out of the public eye.
Brian Beute, the former competitor of Greenberg's for the tax collector seat whom Greenberg admitted to harassing Monday, told reporters ahead of the hearing that he was satisfied with the plea agreement.
"I have a renewed hope and satisfaction with our federal system," Beute said.

It seems it's not only Gaetz who's in hot water. Giuliani, Sidney Powell, Lin Wood and the pillow guy might also be. What a merry band of kooks, charlatans and grifters. Or as Epoch Times and RT would say 'noble and distinguished'.

He observed all the social distancing protocols, apparently 14 people turned up to hear him so they were well spaced, the other 2900 or so ticket holders failed to appear.
