The I did not know is a lame excuse. As a well paid Council member , he represents Ward 8 as well as our city. He also needs to denounce Louis Farrakhan for his racists remarks about Jews and white people. Our city can not tolerate such hateful talk by Louis Farrakhan and Trayon White citing old anti-Antisemitism conspiracy ( twice). Council members who jump to forgive so quickly also do a discredit to our city. People should not point to other states like Illinois as this is just a distraction so not to fix our own city. Anti-Antisemitism has been growing, even in our city and it is NOT related to the Trump administration. Look at our churches who push to criticize Israel. The UN recently only criticized Israel but said nothing about the murdering by Syrian President Bashar al-Assad of innocent Syrians including mostly women and children. Also about 2 years ago an American Un student painted a Nazi swastika on a wall. It was not a white supremacist who did that. I once taught there. Now we read/hear that Trayon White also seemed to blame the CIA , government of pushing drugs in black communities as he spoke on Kojo Nnamdi show. As a "conspiracy theorists " he has demonstrated by his words and behavior that he is not capable of serving on committees and helping his Ward 8 constituents. He continues to divide our city and more will continue to come to light. Where is the Ethics Committee. and has it been updated or have new honest people? Such a disappointment for our city. As signs state Hate has NO place Here. Nanci Link

Dear Trayon, 

As my family and I prepare for Passover, and in the wake of the youth-led March for Our Lives that took place this past weekend in Washington and Baltimore and over 800 places around the world, I was reflecting back on my colleague Rebecca’s writing about getting arrested back in January while doing civil disobedience to stand with Dreamers, undocumented immigrant youth: 

…every person in our community is essential. We are all leaders and followers at the same time. This Passover season, I’m seeing more clearly how we must all find our balance between boldness and humility. Following can be bold. Leading can be humble. 

If you missed Rebecca's letter, you can read it here. But more importantly, as one of JUFJ’s leaders, I am proud of our boldness and our humility. We need both as we fight for justice from Annapolis to Baltimore to DC. 

In Annapolis this session, we are working to stop the expansion of mass incarceration in Maryland; to protect tenants who have been victimized by the rent court system; and to keep education affordable for Maryland’s Dreamers. 

In DC, we are working to ensure fair elections where all candidates can run, not just those with corporate funding; to make the paid family leave program we worked so hard for a reality; and to make the Council write a budget that funds vulnerable people's needs, instead of tax giveaways for the ultra-wealthy.  

In all of our work, we are following — as we always strive to — our partners from communities directly affected by the issues — even as we lead and organize our Jewish communities. 

We are also standing up for ourselves. Our partner and DC Councilmember Trayon White made an anti-Semitic remark a few weeks back, and we are working with him to doteshuva, undo the harm he caused, and to help him learn what he didn't know about our community and our history. 

And we need all the help we can get, so that we can give all that is needed. Please join me in making a gift to JUFJ — a monthly donation would be particularly helpful. If you’ve already made your gift, thank you. If you’d still like to, please take the time now. 

Thank you, and Chag Pesach Sameach, a joyful and meaningful Passover, 

Jacob Executive Director 

P.S. I’m also going to share Rebecca’s P.S.: I’ve always found deep wisdom in the fact thattzedek (justice) and tzedakah (charity) are built from the same Hebrew root. With your gift, you help us to continue to follow and lead as we pursue justice in Baltimore, Montgomery County, DC, and beyond. Thank you.

From: Joan Powers Sent: Wednesday, March 28, 2018 8:00 PMTo: Lockridge, Wanda (Council)Subject: Councilman White's remarks

Dear Ms. Lockridge: I understand from Councilman White's website that you are his Chief of Staff. I am writing to you as a 40-year resident of the District of Columbia, and I am Jewish. His recent remarks about the "Rothschilds controlling the weather, the World Bank, etc." demonstrate a level of profound ignorance, anti-semitism and conspiracy theory that is usually associated with right-wing neo-Nazi groups in America. It is all the more shocking to be coming from an elected official serving the District of Columbia. His idiotic statements are totally incompatible with the values of an informed democracy. His shallow apology was totally unconvincing. If he ever runs for higher office in DC, please be assured I will support his opponent, whoever it is. Sincerely, Joan Powers Ward 3

Greetings Ward 8 Residents,

As you may have heard, I recently made a statement on social media about climate

control. Unfortunately, because I had little knowledge about the history behind the

environmental theory, my statement has disappointed not only myself, but the entire

community. I misspoke on a theory that I have since researched and found was historically

rooted in rhetoric of hate and division— social injustices that I am fiercely opposed to.

During my research, I also learned that this theory on climate control was also used

against the Jewish community not only here in the United States, but around the globe; a

heartbreaking discovery that is not only inhumane, but unacceptable.

These past few days, I have been filled with much grief and remorse, as I now

comprehend the impact and historical context of these comments. I sincerely apologize to

my fellow Councilmembers, staff, constituents and all whom I have hurt or offended. My

comments, despite having demonstrated a lack of accuracy, were not made in a spirit of

malice. I am committing myself and staff to an immediate and rigorous personal education

on this issue. This will include beginning what will be an ongoing dialogue with leaders of

our local Jewish community. I am listening to each of them and learning.

This is a teachable moment that will last me a lifetime. I am very sad that my comments

disrespected the Jewish legacy of so many Jews who have suffered and died for the very

freedoms that we all have today. In addition, much of my newly acquired knowledge on this

subject has been taught to me by my Jewish colleagues here on the Council and other

leaders.

Armed with this knowledge, please rest assured that I am rededicating myself here at the

Council, as well as in my personal life, to being more aware, respectful, compassionate

and understanding of the history of the Jewish faith and other groups to not only the

District of Columbia, but also the nation and, the world. The statement I made was out of

my concern for the environment and I will indeed become a wiser, and more well-versed

student of the environment, as well.

Finally, I remain very appreciative of the words of support during this difficult time, as well

as the rightfully deserved criticism. As a leader, I work hard everyday to combat racism

and prejudices of all kinds. I make it my priority and life's work to fight for social justice for

all people and to eliminate discrimination based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender, class,

disability, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, and many other categories. We are

striving to build a Ward and city that is inclusive, vibrant, and a great place to work and

raise families. Our diversity is our strength, and I will redouble my efforts to make Ward 8

and the District a community that realizes it's potential by honoring the experience of all of

it's citizens.

It is an honor to serve the residents of Ward 8, and I look forward to the work ahead.

Let's "Do Something!"

Best regards,

Trayon White, Councilmember

The active work zone will be identified with cones and restricted to contractor and NPS personnel only, to ensure public and worker safety; park users are asked to remain outside of the identified work zone at all times.

Hi Trayon, I would love to talk with you about black-Jewish relations in the next ten days. You should talk to me more than anyone in the Jewish community because I have always been a friend to the African American community. The morning after the Baltimore riots, I went up to Baltimore to help the black store owners clean up. I stayed despite the police not guaranteeing my safety. Please see pictures including one with Freddie Gray’s Pastor Jamal Bryant (see Bmore3). I came in peace to help and I am coming in peace to talk to you. I have an internationally known hobby of collecting Jewish memorabilia of famous Jews in sports, entertainment and politics among other areas. You can learn more about it by going to my website – www.NeilKeller.com. Back on October 5, 1998, I spoke in DC at Operating Understanding. This group was created to unite blacks and Jews and I spoke about many famous “black Jews” and the audience loved it. Please see attachment. There are many famous “black Jews” including Drake (the rapper), Rashida Jones (Quincy Jones’ daughter), Lisa Bonet (Cosby Show), Andre Tippett, Sammy Davis Jr., Lenny Kravitz (music), Yaphet Kotto, Elliot Maddox, Jordan Farmar, Rain Pryor (Richard Pryor’s daughter), etc. Anyone I want to have a friendly talk and tell you about the many “black Jews”. I want to tell you about my good friend Red Auerbach. (see photos). Red is in the basketball Hall of Fame, is Jewish and he integrated African Americans into the NBA more than anyone on the planet. In 1950, Red drafted Chuck Cooper, the very first black player in the NBA. In 1964, Red went further by starting the first all African American team in an NBA game. And in 1966 when he retired, Red hired Bill Russell, as the first black coach. Red and I often had lunch and I always admired him for helping the black community. I want to tell you about Joel Spingarn as he helped establish the NAACP. When the NAACP was founded in 1909, the leadership was primarily Jewish. This included Spingarn, Jacob Billikopf, Rabbi Emil Hirsch, Julius Rosenthal, Jacob Schiff, Lillian Wald and Rabbi Stephen Wise. Spingarn served as the NAACP Chairman from 1913 until his death in 1939. Since 1915, the NAACP annually gives out the prestigious Spingarn Medal to an African American for outstanding achievements. You may know about Spingarn High School in DC as the Green Wave and where Elgin Baylor and Dave Bing went to play ball. I want to tell you about my good friend Abe Pollin. I use to call him, “Uncle Abe” and he did much more than owner the Wizards; he helped countless DC students with their education. I am sorry about writing a long email but I bet we would get along great. I am a DC native and I was born at Washington Hospital Center. One funny note – I am a Jewish and if I could control the weather, I would want 85 degrees year round in DC with palm trees. Thank you for your time and consideration. I hope to hear from you soon. Thank you. Your friend, Neil Keller

From: MB Sent: Sunday, March 25, 2018 7:54 PMTo: White, Sr., Trayon (Council)Cc: The Washington PostSubject: Congratulations, Trayon White

It's official, Trayon White -- you're an idiot. Jews control the weather, you say. "I have spoke to leaders and my friends..." you say. You really have a way with words, don't you? Obviously, educated in the DC Public Schools system. You refer to yourself as "a leader." In fact, you are absolutely typical and emblematic of the "leadership" of DC municipal government: Racist, stupid, inarticulate and incompetent. Sadly, those traits ensure your success in DC government. Or, as Mayor Bowser says, "Dishtrict government." My advice to you: Study English grammar. Study -- and practice -- ethics. Try to be a man. Write back and defend yourself if you have any guts. And write it yourself. Don't have someone who knows English grammar write for you. Show the REAL Trayon. I dare you. MB

CM White,

Gentrification is OFFENSIVE!

De-funding MBSYEP is offensive!

Denying thousands of youth summer jobs (hardest hit are Ward 7 & 8 youth) is OFFENSIVE!

Pushing Black (Aboriginal) families out-of-their homes (Barry Farms and many other housing complexes in the District) is OFFENSIVE!

Under funding small not-for-profits in Wards 7 & 8 who serve youth and families is OFFENSIVE!

Holding hearings whereby, consistently, majority White people testify FIRST and majority Black people testify LAST, is OFFENSIVE!

Since you have committed yourself to education, please hold a information session, so that all can be educated after you have read, The Invention of the Jewish People "When and How Was the Jewish People Invented? It is a study of the historiography of the Jewish people by Shlomo Sand, Professor of History.

Not apologizing for the below IS OFFENSIVE!

Between 1608 and 1621, a handful of ships chartered by Jewish merchants in Amsterdam transported slaves from West Africa to the Americas.

A number of wealthy Jews were involved in the slave trade in the Americas, some as shipowners who imported slaves and others as agents who resold them. In the United States, Isaac Da Costa of Charleston, David Franks of Philadelphia and Aaron Lopez of Newport, Rhode Island, are among the early American Jews who were prominent in the importation and sale of African slaves.

Some Jews were involved in the trade in various European Caribbean colonies. Alexandre Lindo, a French-born Jew who became a wealthy merchant in Jamaica in the late 18th century, was a major seller of slaves on the island.

Greetings Ward 8 Residents,

As you may have heard, I recently made a statement on social media about climate

control. Unfortunately, because I had little knowledge about the history behind the

environmental theory, my statement has disappointed not only myself, but the entire

community. I misspoke on a theory that I have since researched and found was historically

rooted in rhetoric of hate and division— social injustices that I am fiercely opposed to.

During my research, I also learned that this theory on climate control was also used

against the Jewish community not only here in the United States, but around the globe; a

heartbreaking discovery that is not only inhumane, but unacceptable.

These past few days, I have been filled with much grief and remorse, as I now

comprehend the impact and historical context of these comments. I sincerely apologize to

my fellow Councilmembers, staff, constituents and all whom I have hurt or offended. My

comments, despite having demonstrated a lack of accuracy, were not made in a spirit of

malice. I am committing myself and staff to an immediate and rigorous personal education

on this issue. This will include beginning what will be an ongoing dialogue with leaders of

our local Jewish community. I am listening to each of them and learning.

This is a teachable moment that will last me a lifetime. I am very sad that my comments

disrespected the Jewish legacy of so many Jews who have suffered and died for the very

freedoms that we all have today. In addition, much of my newly acquired knowledge on this

subject has been taught to me by my Jewish colleagues here on the Council and other

leaders.

Armed with this knowledge, please rest assured that I am rededicating myself here at the

Council, as well as in my personal life, to being more aware, respectful, compassionate

and understanding of the history of the Jewish faith and other groups to not only the

District of Columbia, but also the nation and, the world. The statement I made was out of

my concern for the environment and I will indeed become a wiser, and more well-versed

student of the environment, as well.

Finally, I remain very appreciative of the words of support during this difficult time, as well

as the rightfully deserved criticism. As a leader, I work hard everyday to combat racism

and prejudices of all kinds. I make it my priority and life's work to fight for social justice for

all people and to eliminate discrimination based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender, class,

disability, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, and many other categories. We are

striving to build a Ward and city that is inclusive, vibrant, and a great place to work and

raise families. Our diversity is our strength, and I will redouble my efforts to make Ward 8

and the District a community that realizes it's potential by honoring the experience of all of

it's citizens.

It is an honor to serve the residents of Ward 8, and I look forward to the work ahead.

Let's "Do Something!"

Best regards,

Trayon White, Councilmember

Greetings Ward 8 Residents,

As you may have heard, I recently made a statement on social media about climate control. Unfortunately,

because I had little knowledge about the history behind the environmental theory, my statement has

disappointed not only myself, but the entire community. I misspoke on a theory that I have since

researched and found was historically rooted in rhetoric of hate and division— social injustices that I am

fiercely opposed to.

During my research, I also learned that this theory on climate control was also used against the Jewish

community not only here in the United States, but around the globe; a heartbreaking discovery that is not

only inhumane, but unacceptable.

These past few days, I have been filled with much grief and remorse, as I now comprehend the impact and

historical context of these comments. I sincerely apologize to my fellow Councilmembers, staff,

constituents and all whom I have hurt or offended. My comments, despite having demonstrated a lack of

accuracy, were not made in a spirit of malice. I am committing myself and staff to an immediate and

rigorous personal education on this issue. This will include beginning what will be an ongoing dialogue with

leaders of our local Jewish community. I am listening to each of them and learning.

This is a teachable moment that will last me a lifetime. I am very sad that my comments disrespected the

Jewish legacy of so many Jews who have suffered and died for the very freedoms that we all have today.

In addition, much of my newly acquired knowledge on this subject has been taught to me by my Jewish

colleagues here on the Council and other leaders.

Armed with this knowledge, please rest assured that I am rededicating myself here at the Council, as well

as in my personal life, to being more aware, respectful, compassionate and understanding of the history of

the Jewish faith and other groups to not only the District of Columbia, but also the nation and, the world.

The statement I made was out of my concern for the environment and I will indeed become a wiser, and

more well-versed student of the environment, as well.

Finally, I remain very appreciative of the words of support during this difficult time, as well as the rightfully

deserved criticism. As a leader, I work hard everyday to combat racism and prejudices of all kinds. I make

it my priority and life's work to fight for social justice for all people and to eliminate discrimination based on

race, ethnicity, religion, gender, class, disability, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, and many other

categories. We are striving to build a Ward and city that is inclusive, vibrant, and a great place to work and

raise families. Our diversity is our strength, and I will redouble my efforts to make Ward 8 and the District a

community that realizes it's potential by honoring the experience of all of it's citizens.

It is an honor to serve the residents of Ward 8, and I look forward to the work ahead.

Let's "Do Something!"

Best regards,

Trayon White, Councilmember

Hi, Councilmember White —  You may be interested in the work that Rev. Delman Coates is doing on these intersectional issues — monetary reform, anti‐semitism, faith‐based groups, Black clergy — and yes, climate change (but not in the way that your Facebook page described).  Rev. Coates is based in Clinton, MD, at Mt. Ennon Baptist church. Along with a growing national and international movement, he is asking deep questions that we humans have not been asking in our public discussions: — What is money? A commodity or a social contract? — Who creates money? How does it enter the economy? — What do banks do with the money that is deposited with them? ….and many other questions that have to do with public money  You can learn more about Rev. Coates’s work here: New Abolitionism Campaign NAC  A few other resources include: Monetary History Calendar Free weekly list of historical moments in the history of money. — To subscribe, email Greg Coleridge (Ohio) [email protected] — To see the calendar year-to-date, go to https://monetarycalendar.wordpress.com/ Green Party (U.S.) Greens for Monetary Reform Positive Money (UK) The original “positive money” group Positive Money (Europe) http://www.positivemoney.eu International Movement for Monetary Reform (global) IMMR The umbrella organization for many of the other groups Conference Oct. 2018, Chicago The 13th annual American Monetary Institute (AMI) conference will take place in downtown Chicago. http://www.monetary.org/2018-ami-monetary-reform-conference Climate change and monetary system The main reason why our monetary system is causing climate change is because our debt-based money creation (which Rev. Coates has keyed on) causes vast over-production — of everything (including food and other agricultural products). If you’re interested in other resources on this specific connection, I would be happy to help. We are all learning together on this complex issue. You may be interested in a blogpost that I wrote after the events in Charlottesville last summer: Monetary science and healing for white supremacists, Jews, and other confused Americans In my opinion, the blame can be applied to all of us. I am 66 years old and I’m just now starting to understand this deep lack of knowledge. Let’s start the money conversation from square #1.  I hope this is useful information.

Subject: The FY2019 Budget must serve ALL students

Elected Leaders,

Dear Mayor Bowser,

As a member of the Washington Teachers’ Union, I am dedicated to serving DC Public

School students to meet their full potential. Admittedly, SY2017-18 has been a particularly

challenging year YET we look ahead towards work towards improvement. The resources

provided by in the FY19 budget will have a major impact on my students’ ability to learn and

succeed AND acts as an indicator -- are authentic improvement plans in place?

As educators, we have dedicated our lives to serving the students of Washington, DC; for me,

Ballo High School SPECIFICALLY. We work hard to provide INNOVATIVE world class

educational opportunities for each and every student, regardless of race, ethnic group or zip

code. Through the DC budget, DC government can do more to create greater opportunities

for all students and to close the rapidly-growing opportunity gaps between students of color

and white students, as well as between low-income students, who are burdened with

problems stemming from living in poverty, and their more affluent peers.

In the Fiscal Year 2019 budget, the Washington Teachers’ Union (WTU) calls on the District

of Columbia to equitably resource schools to meet growing needs, fund commitments made

to District students, invest in the readiness of DC schoolchildren, and strive to serve the

academic, social-emotional and health needs of all students.

Equitably Fund Schools to Meet Growing Needs

The Fiscal Year 2019 School Funding Formula Increase Should Be Enough to Cover

Growing Enrollment, Rising Cost of Living, and Resource Equity

Page 129: americarisingarchive.com Smith, Brackett W. (Council) From: Sent: Thursday, March 29, 2018 5:01 PM To: Mendelson, Phil (COUNCIL); michelle.boorstein@washpost.com; Bowser@aol.com; Bowser,

125

DC school funding remains well below what schools need to prepare all PreK to 12th grade

students for success. There are distressing differences between the educational outcomes for

white students and students of color. Economically disadvantaged students are also faring far

worse than their wealthier peers. More educators and support staffers are needed to meet the

needs of students. We urge DC leaders to increase the Uniform Per Student Funding

Formula (UPSFF) based on what is required to meet three critical needs:

- growing enrollment,

- rising cost of living,

- and improving the equity of resources.

Fund Commitments DC Government Has Made to District Students

Implement the 2014 Special Education Reforms: Early Intervention for More Children, Faster

Evaluations, and Better Transition Planning

Many special education students in DC do not get the supports they need to succeed; by high

school, fewer than one in 10 are college and career ready. Three critical special education

reforms would align services with best practices and would better support teachers, but have

been on hold since 2014 due to lack of funding. Families have been waiting too long. It is time

for DC leaders to commit to: early intervention for more children, faster evaluation, and better

transition planning.

Stop School Push-out: Provide More Resources for Restorative Justice in Schools

Black students in Washington, DC are more than seven times more likely to be suspended

than their white peers. This racial disparity has been allowed to grow for too long. We must

invest in the programs that better serve the social and emotional needs of our students. DC

leaders should also allocate money for a Positive School Climate Fund, empowering teachers

and schools to pursue other evidence-based solutions to stop school push-out.

Invest in the Readiness of DC Schoolchildren

Afterschool and Summer Enrichment Opportunities for Every Low-Income Student

As teachers, we understand that after school and out of school time (OST) programs improve

academic, social, and health outcomes, and give parents peace of mind knowing their

children are in a safe environment while they work. There are now more children waiting to

get into afterschool programs than are enrolled. A lack of summer opportunities means low-

income students and students of color are more likely to fall behind their peers. DC should

Page 130: americarisingarchive.com Smith, Brackett W. (Council) From: Sent: Thursday, March 29, 2018 5:01 PM To: Mendelson, Phil (COUNCIL); michelle.boorstein@washpost.com; Bowser@aol.com; Bowser,

126

invest $25 million for the nearly 6,000 children without afterschool options and the 25,000

children without summer programming.

Pay Providers Enough to Give Quality Care & Education to Infants & Toddlers

Quality early learning environments help infants and toddlers enter PreK3 ready for school

and they help accelerate their growth in the classroom. DC should build on our Pre-K

successes and realize our responsibility to fully support the education of infants and toddlers.

Legislation under consideration by the DC Council charts a path towards identifying and

funding the full cost of educating low-income children in the subsidy program. We urge DC

leaders to adopt that legislation and set aside money to implement it, starting with $11 million

in Fiscal Year 2019.

Schools Should Serve the Whole Person

Empower Community Schools to Better Support Families & Neighborhoods

Schools are among our most important and trusted community institutions. Under the

“Community Schools” model, schools build partnerships with community-based resources to

deliver services like health care, afterschool programs, adult education, or early childhood

programming. These “integrated student supports” in turn can lead to engaged families,

stronger communities, and better academic outcomes. In the coming year, every school that

wants to become a “Community School” should have enough resources to become one.

Ensure a Full-time Nurse in Every School

Every school have a full-time nurse to care for the needs of students. A third of District

students have a chronic illness including asthma, ADHD, and others. School nurses support

DC students and teachers by decreasing chronic absenteeism, improving outcomes for

students with chronic health conditions, increasing immunization compliance and raising

retention rates for students with mental health conditions. The WTU joins our fellow school

workers, the members of the District of Columbia Nurses Association, in calling on DC

government to fully fund the Public School Health Services Amendment Act of 2017.

Please share this with the councilman…HE’S AN IDIOT.   

A D.C. lawmaker responded to a brief snowfall Friday by publishing a video in which he espoused a conspiracy theory that Jewish financiers control the weather.

D.C. Council member Trayon White Sr. (D-Ward 8) posted the video to his official Facebook page at 7:21 a.m. as snow flurries were hitting the nation’s capital. The video, shot through the windshield of a car driving west on Interstate 695 through downtown Washington, shows snowy skies while White narrates.

“Man, it just started snowing out of nowhere this morning, man. Y’all better pay attention to this climate control, man, this climate manipulation,” he says. “And D.C. keep talking about, ‘We a resilient city.’ And that’s a model based off the Rothschilds controlling the climate to create natural disasters they can pay for to own the cities, man. Be careful.”

The Rothschilds are a famous European business dynasty descended from Mayer Amschel Rothschild, an 18th-century Jewish banker who lived in what is today Frankfurt, Germany. The family has repeatedly been subject over the years to anti-Semitic conspiracy theories alleging that they and other Jews clandestinely manipulate world events for their advantage.

Metro announces service changes for Wednesday in anticipation of winter storm Metro is preparing to fully deploy resources in response to an expected winter storm that could significantly impact travel on Wednesday, March 21. Based on the current forecast, Metro is advising customers of several service changes:

Metrobus

Metrobus service will begin Wednesday on a Moderate Snow Plan, representing a roughly 60 percent reduction in service. 

Under the Moderate Snow Plan, some bus routes do not operate, while others are subject to detours to avoid hilly terrain, narrow streets or other areas that are prone to hazardous conditions. CLICK FOR DETAILS AND MAPS. 

If District of Columbia Public Schools and Public Charter Schools are open Wednesday, Metrobus will operate special trips to provide connectivity. These trips will not operate if schools are closed. 

All bus customers should plan for delays and increased wait times due to road conditions.  Additional service changes may be necessary as conditions warrant.

MetroAccess

MetroAccess customers are strongly encouraged to cancel all non‐essential travel on Wednesday. Customers should travel only if absolutely necessary. 

Due to weather/road conditions, service delays are expected.  There must be a clear and safe path from the MetroAccess vehicle to the outermost exterior door of the pick‐up 

or drop‐off location in order to provide door‐to‐door service. If this condition is not met, the location is considered non‐serviceable for door‐to‐door, and the driver will render curb‐to‐curb service. 

Metrorail

Metrorail will open at 5 a.m. with trains running on a modified weekday schedule. At this time, it is expected that trains will operate both above and below ground. 

Metro will deploy deicing trains overnight and will have plows on standby to help keep the tracks clear. Additional crews are being brought in to clear station platforms, walkways, and parking areas. 

The upper levels of Metro parking garages may be closed due to snow accumulation.  Every effort will be made to maintain rail service; however, weather‐related delays are possible. If weather 

conditions become severe, service may be further curtailed. 

Due to the severe weather, Metro's Rush Hour Promise program will not be in effect Wednesday.

Metro will continue to monitor conditions throughout the day and will restore service when it is safe to do so. Customers are encouraged to stay informed. All changes will be announced via MetroAlerts text or email messages, on Metro's Status and Alerts page and through Metro's social media channels at @Metrorailinfoand @Metrobusinfo.

Regarding the Rothschild

WOW! I am (somewhat) surprised -- but shouldn't be -- and disheartened to hear the CM issue such a release -- making a public statement against his African-American brother and colleague Trayvon White -- when the latter has already apologized. Why throw more gasoline on the fire? I found the statement to be totally unnecessary and can't help but wonder, what was the motivation in making it; just what was the intent of the end game? The reason I'm not surprised, but remain disheartened, is because it doesn't seem the CM has evolved from an earlier disappointing statement I heard him make after first being elected. I was in the room at the Pew Center, when CM White, Jr. appeared on a panel with 5-6 others, right after he was elected, and remembered him during his introductory remarks, (almost), apologizing for being "black;" lamenting that he often feels as though he can't speak-up or speak-out on behalf of black people, without offending whites. I remember it quite vividly, because right after he spoke, CM Silverman, who was also on the panel spoke; and the first words out of her mouth (as a segue into her intro) were, "I'm not going to apologize for being Jewish." Both of those statements, for me, were profound -- telling -- disappointing and confirming at the same time. I was disappointed in my brother -- CM White, Jr. -- but uplifted by my Jewish sister -- CM Silverman -- for not being apologetic for who or what she was. As a Muslim/African-American -- a lifelong DC resident -- I have long stood fast against all kinds of odds, without losing, (but maintaining), my integrity and my reputation for being who and what I am; all of it, the good and the bad -- whatever it is I bring to the table -- no apologies -- take ownership. I can only hope that CM White, Jr. will one day find the courage of his own convictions, by first deciding, if you can't support your brother, (and colleague), because you think he's wrong, at least don't speak out publicly against him.

As I have taken the time to learn more about how anti-Semitic conspiracy myths have been used to justify bigotry and hatred toward Jewish people, it made me sad to realize that, though I work closely with Jewish colleagues and advocates, I did not know something that was so central to their community's history of oppression and that it would be so painful for them. I have long known of the bond between the Black and Jewish communities on the front lines of the Civil Rights movement. From national efforts, like Julius Rosenwald’s historic investments and partnership with Booker T. Washington to build 5,400 schools in the South for Black communities that lacked adequate school buildings during the Jim Crow Era; to the Selma March, where Rabbis locked arms with Black leaders; to local District traditions, like the annual interfaith Seder with Rabbi Rain Zohav and St. Martin’s Catholic Church, Jewish and Black communities have a rich history of a shared fight for peace and equality. Anti-Semitism has no place in the District of Columbia or anywhere else. I do believe that Councilmember Trayon White sincerely did not realize the implication of his statement, and I believe his apology is heartfelt. I hope that, rather than driving a wedge between communities, we who are not Jewish can use this experience to further our understanding of the history of our Jewish brothers and sisters and to renew the historic kinship between the Black and Jewish communities.

Congratulations you idiot.

You are now officially enrolled in the KKK and all the other Alt-Right groups and organizations that collectively hate Jews and Blacks.

I bet you never heard of the Freedom Riders who gave their lives and their bodies trying to bring an end to segregation and Jim and Crow and obtain voting rights for the Blacks in the south.

You have made David Duke and all his kind proud of you for being so stupid and ignorant.

Quick, name the two Jews and the Black murdered by the Klan in MS in 1964. I knew you couldn't.

When I think how much the Jews were involved in the Civil Rights Movement on the personal side and on the financial side when every time Martin needed money he went to the Jews and despite the fact that they were controlling the weather making snow and storms they gave him the money to make the movement a success.

You make me ashamed that I put my life on the line for the likes of you and I told Andy Young that when I met him in the Atlanta airport years ago. He was embarrassed too and he got fired from being the UN Ambassador because of his double dealing.

Did you know that Abraham Lincoln was planning to send the blacks back to Africa after the Civil War if he had lived?

You have made a mockery of the good name of millions of Blacks by your abject stupidity.

The comedian Jon Stewart, a Jew, said it best, "Insult the Jews. Apologize. They forgive you."

I don't and won't forgive you and your name will become a laughing stock among decent Americans forever.

Why don't you read something about the Jews because when they're not controlling the weather and the world they will actually find the cure for Sickle Cell Anemia and the hundreds of cures and world changing inventions including Polio? I don't even think you can read.

I do know you hate that is why you have been enrolled in the KKK.

Do your race a favor and resign gracefully and move to Liberia, another country founded by Abolitionists who thought that would be the saving grace for the "Negroes" in the south and in America.

What happened? The freed slaves killed the leaders in the area of Liberia and enslaved the Black natives. Read a history book, if you can read.

Give my regards to Hymietown Jessie Jackson, the non-reverend and Louis Farrakan.

I wish that Jews did control the weather and the world because if they did you wouldn't be on it.

Do you want to know why the Alt-Right doesn't target Blacks as they used to?

Because the Blacks have killed them when attacked so the cowards are left only with the Jews who don't have a history of violence and they lack a violence gene as pointed out by Dennis Wade in his book "Impossible Genes".

That is the only thing I truly regret that the Jews are not violent. I wish they were.

From: Lockridge, Wanda (Council)Sent: Tuesday, March 20, 2018 2:50 PMTo: White, Sr., Trayon (Council)Subject: update letter to staff and members

Dear Members and Staff of the Council of the District of Columbia:  

Let me say at the outset that I am one hundred percent in support of the statement issued by Council Chairman Phil Mendelson earlier today during the Committee of the Whole.  

Truthfully, I read some misinformation and as a result, misspoke on matters that I know very little about. I was subsequently disappointed to learn that similar language and rhetoric of hate and division have been used against the Jewish population not only here in the United States, but around the globe.  

These past forty-eight hours have been filled with much self-inflicted pain, as I now fully comprehend the impact of my hurtful and insensitive comments. I have hurt and disappointed many, including myself, my Council colleagues, constituents and countless members of the Jewish community here and abroad.   

I sincerely apologize to the Members, staff and all whom I have hurt and offended. I would like to reiterate that my comments, despite having demonstrated a lack of compassion and accuracy, were not made in a spirit of meanness. Rather, they were made without an understanding or appreciation of the history and suffering of my fellow Americans who are Jewish to American society.  

Accordingly, I am committing myself and staff to an immediate and rigorous personal education on this issue. This will include beginning what will be an ongoing dialogue with leaders of our local Jewish community. I am listening to each of them and learning.   

In all honesty, if I were of Jewish descent, I would also feel disrespected and offended by such comments. Honestly, I do not all believe the Jewish community controls the weather.   

I was only trying to get a clear understanding on this Resilient Cities piece. Somehow, I read and misconstrued both the Rockefeller and Rothchild theories. Based on quick research, I attempted to explain these theories during a press conference a month and a half ago. A short time later, I heard Rockefeller theory mentioned again at the recent Mayor/Council breakfast.  

At that breakfast, I indeed misspoke, was really misinformed on the issue and ran with false information. I think I heard other similar information before about the theory around the World Bank and put it all together. Amazingly, I did not know that my MEMBERS AND STAFF OF THE COUNCIL OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA MARCH 20, 2018 PAGE 2  

comments, nor the related theories, were even remotely anti-Semitic. Even with all of this, there is still no excuse for my comments.

To be clear, I do not want my remarks to be taken lightly by anyone. Public service is my life and I never want to use my influence or voice to tear down anyone, but rather, only to edify.   

This is a teachable moment that will last me a lifetime. Words have consequences. I am very sad that my comments disrespected the Jewish legacy of so many American Jews who have suffered and died for the very freedoms that we all have today.   

In addition, much of my newly acquired information on this subject has been taught to me by my Jewish colleagues here on the Council and other leaders. I was intrigued, and it made me eager to learn more about their struggles. Frankly, the struggles of the Jewish people are very similar to those of the struggles of my ancestors. I have also learned, for example, that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., was not only a powerful voice against racism and for the civil rights of African-Americans, but persons of the Jewish faith as well.   

Armed with this knowledge, please rest assured that I am rededicating myself here at the Council, as well as in my personal life, to being more respectful, compassionate and understanding of the history and positive contributions of members of the Jewish faith and other groups to not only the District of Columbia, but also the nation and indeed, the world.   

Finally, I remain very appreciative of the words of support during this difficult time as well as the rightfully deserved criticism. As a result, I am a much better person than I was on last Saturday. God is not through with me yet.   

Sincerely,   

Trayon White, Sr. Councilmember, Ward 8

“By now, Trayon recognizes how hurtful and offensive his remarks were to the Jewish community and to all Washingtonians. I appreciate the way that our city’s own Jewish leaders are working closely with him, rather than isolating him, to ensure an understanding of anti‐Semitism and science‐based climate change. This response by our Jewish community exemplifies the long and close relationship between the Jewish and African American communities in

the District and in our country. Jewish Americans have always been African Americans’ closest allies in the ongoing struggle against racism. Their own history here and in many countries throughout the world with bigotry and worse has led to a bond between Jews and Blacks like no other in our country. 

“All the residents of this great and diverse city—African Americans, Jews, whites, Latinos, Muslims, Asian Americans, Christians, the LGBT community, and others who make D.C. representative of the world—have long worked together to fight prejudice of all kinds and not only against what we ourselves encounter. The District of Columbia is a city that understands that we are all in this together.”

From: Lockridge, Wanda (Council)Sent: Tuesday, March 20, 2018 2:07 PMTo: Austin CooperSubject: more proofing from the cm

Please proof that in red below. Dear Members and Staff of the Council of the District of Columbia: Let me say at the outset that I am one hundred percent in support of the statement issued by Council Chairman Phil Mendelson earlier today during the Committee of the Whole. Truthfully, I read some misinformation and as a result, misspoke on matters that I know very little about. I was subsequently disappointed to learn that similar language and rhetoric of hate and division have been used against the Jewish population not only here in the United States, but around the globe. These past forty-eight hours have been filled with much self-inflicted pain, as I now fully comprehend the impact of my hurtful and insensitive comments. I have hurt and disappointed many, including myself, my Council colleagues, constituents and countless members of the Jewish community here and abroad. I sincerely apologize to the Members, staff and all whom I have hurt and offended. I would like to reiterate that my comments, despite having demonstrated a lack of compassion and accuracy, were not made in a spirit of meanness. Rather, they were made without an understanding or appreciation of the history and suffering of my fellow Americans who are Jewish to American society. Accordingly, I am committing myself and staff to an immediate and rigorous personal education on this issue. This will include beginning what will be an ongoing dialogue with leaders of our local Jewish community. I am listening to each of them and learning. In all honesty, if I were of Jewish descent, I would also feel disrespected and offended by such comments. I do not all believe the Jewish community control the weather. I was trying to get clear understanding on this Resilient Cities piece with the Rockefeller and somehow must read and misconstrued both Rockefeller and Rothchilds based on some quick search I attempted to do during press conference a month and a half ago and when I saw the Rockefeller mentioned again at the Mayor/Council breakfast. I indeed misspoke and was really misinformed and ran with false information. I think I heard other similar information before about the theory around World Bank and put it all together somehow not knowing it was even remotely Anti-Semitic. Even in all of this, it is no excuse. To be clear, I do not want my remarks to be taken lightly by anyone. Public service is my life and I never want to use my influence or voice to tear down anyone, but rather, only to edify. This is a teachable moment that will last me a lifetime. Words have consequences. I am very sad that my comments disrespected the Jewish legacy of so many American Jews who have suffered and died for the very freedoms that we all have today.

MEMBERS AND STAFF OF THE COUNCIL OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA MARCH 20, 2018 PAGE 2

In addition, much of my newly acquired information on this subject has been taught to me by my Jewish colleagues here on the Council and other leaders. I was intrigued, and it made me eager to learn more about their struggles. Frankly, the struggles of the Jewish people are very similar to those of the struggles of my ancestors. I have also learned, for example, that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., was not only a powerful voice against racism and for the civil rights of African-Americans, but persons of the Jewish faith as well. Armed with this knowledge, please rest assured that I am rededicating myself here at the Council, as well as in my personal life, to being more respectful, compassionate and understanding of the history and positive contributions of members of the Jewish faith and other groups to not only the District of Columbia, but also the nation and indeed, the world. Finally, I remain very appreciative of the words of support during this difficult time as well as the rightfully deserved criticism. As a result, I am a much better person than I was on last Saturday. God is not through with me yet. Sincerely, Trayon White, Sr. Councilmember, Ward 8

What is resilience and why is it being incorporated into the Comprehensive Plan? As part of the Comprehensive Plan Second Amendment cycle, OP is leading an effort to create a new chapter dedicated to resilience to help District communities be more resilient to the impacts of major shocks and day-to-day stresses. In addition to the new Resilience Element, new resilience policies will be woven throughout the existing Citywide and Area Elements of the Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan’s new focus on resilience is also supporting the development of a Resilience Strategy as part of the District’s participation in the Rockefeller Foundation’s 100 Resilient Cities program. Washington, DC is uniquely vulnerable to an array of natural and manmade threats. Because we are home to the United States Federal Government – and destination to millions of tourists each year – we are susceptible to terrorist and cyber security attacks.

We also face natural and environmental threats like 2012’s derecho, one of the most destructive and deadly fast-moving, severe thunderstorm complexes in North American history, and the 5.8 magnitude earthquake that hit our city in 2011. And now, the changing climate is creating new and significant challenges for Washington, DC. We have partnered with the scientific community to study the issue, and we expect more frequent heat waves and catastrophic flooding stemming from the rivers at the heart of our city. These natural events threaten to disrupt our power grid, harm our economy, and cost lives. As a result, the Department of Energy and Environment has crafted a Climate Adaptation Plan to assess our vulnerabilities and identify solutions to reduce risk and to direct major investments in infrastructure and neighborhood planning. We have also implemented a number of measures to make Washington, DC a more sustainable and energy-efficient city.

Among American cities, Washington, DC has nearly the highest disparity between the rich and the poor. Income inequality is only one of the forms of inequality that affects DC, with significant inequalities in educational attainment, social capital, health outcomes, exposure to violent crime, and other factors. Although our economy has grown and diversified in recent years, our affordable housing stock is reaching historically low levels. These inequalities are reflected in our population clusters, leaving some of our most vulnerable residents at greatest risk in the event of a shock.

Subject: Trayon White's Comments are not OK

Dear Mayor Bowser, Councilmembers, Attorney General Racine, Deputy Attorney General Fisher and Alper and President Jacober  Councilman's White's comments and apology are just not enough. It is shocking in this day and age that such insensitive and ignorant comments would come out of a DC Councilman's mouth.  He confused the Rockefellers with the Rothschilds. He thought the Jewish people caused climate change, Even Trump has not stooped that low.   I ordered a film by a well known award winning DC film maker Aviva Kempner called "Rosenwald" http://rosenwaldfilm.org. I will personally deliver this to Mr. White's office.   I've attached a link to this remarkable movie about an incredible man Julius Rosenwald, one of the founders of Sears and Roebuck. He built along with Booker T. Washington over 5000 schools for Black children all around the US, including 17 in Prince Georges County alone. He helped the careers of the most famous black artists of the day, Langston Hughes, Marion Anderson and dozens more. Even our own former Councilwoman Dr. Charlene Drew Jarvis father was helped by Rosenwald and so he was able to help thousands of people with his research.   Dr. Charlene Drew Jarvis, whose father Dr. Charles Drew received a Rosenwald Fund grant and pioneered blood storage methods used by the American Red Cross, is also a member of the UDC Board of Trustees. She notes, “Julius Rosenwald recognized the enormous potential, strength of character and unparalleled talent existing in the African-American community. That’s why when Booker T. Washington asked, he gave his time and treasure to help build 5,000 schools for black children in the south.”   Washington Hebrew Congregation as well as many Synagogues in DC have been working for decades on community relations, bringing together people of all faiths, adopting schools, working on Christmas and other non Jewish Holidays to help the community.   Education is the answer not only an apology.  Creatively Yours;  Margery    ‐‐

Subject: Questions regarding Councilmember Trayon White

Good afternoon Chairman Mendelson and DC Councilmembers,  I'm reaching out today regarding Councilmember Trayon White and the press he has drawn recently. As a DC resident, I would request that Mr. White immediately tender his resignation as a representative of the District.  At your earliest convenience, I would appreciate if you could provide information regarding the following concerns: 

1. If a rank‐and‐file DC government employee (for instance, a DCPS teacher) were to promote a racist conspiracy theory online, would that employee not face consequences, including the potential loss of their job? Why should Mr. White enjoy privileges and protections that other public servants do not? 

2. Considering the recent rise of visible Antisemitism in our country, do you have any concerns that Mr. White's continued tenure would imply the Council's tolerance of such attitudes? 

3. In the same vein, considering the wild propagation of conspiracy theories online that have had real‐life consequences (Comet Ping Pong comes to mind), I'm concerned that a refusal to demand Mr. White's resignation will implicitly condone politicians' beliefs in conspiracies. More specifically, would a councilmember who promoted the birther conspiracy against President Obama, or the "crisis actor" theory regarding Parkland students not be called to resign? How are the circumstances different with Mr. White's claims? 

4. Lastly, because Mr. White genuinely seems to believe that human beings can control the weather, does the council not have concerns regarding his mental stability and capacity for basic reasoning? 

I do not believe that Mr. White should continue to be employed as a public servant. Inaction on this issue would not only be a huge disservice to DC residents who love this city for its unapologically progressive values, but also puts our city's government in line with our current federal government in being passively complicit to promoting racist, regressive, and flat‐out wrong ideas.  I recognize that you all likely get tons of emails each day, but this issue is incredibly important to me. I look forward to your response. Thank you!  Best, J. Song

Dear Ms. Lockridge ‐  I'm writing to you as CM White's Chief of Staff as I was unable to find a direct email address for him. I wanted to write to express my displeasure in the abhorrent conspiracy theories Mr. White has expressed on more than one occasion. I worry that as a key decision‐maker for Washington, DC ‐ a city I have lived in for 16 years ‐ he is not of sound mind to make critical decisions regarding the governing of our fine city. Most notably, in a time of "Fake News" and the need to be critical in what information we as citizens digest, CM White is showing a lack of this critical thinking that is so desperately needed by lawmakers.  Perhaps along with his commitment to discuss the history of antisemitism his comments refer to with Jewish community leaders, Mr. White should also take a course on critical thinking at a local university to aide him in distinguishing unfounded conspiracy theories with real news. It baffles me that a lawmaker in our town could believe that not only have humans developed the ability to control the weather, but a single group of people control this ability, while also controlling the largest, multi‐lateral development institution in the world. Please have the Council Member reflect on how bizarre this theory is, and work with him to address his critical thinking skills going forward.  Thank you for your time and my apologies for contacting you directly ‐ if I could find CM White's email I would have contacted him.  Best regards, Adam Rubinfield

Hello,   I'm a reporter seeking a comment on remarks made by Council Member White in a Feb. 27 meeting.   He said the following according to a video of the meeting:  “There’s this whole concept with the Rothschilds -- control the World Bank, as we all know -- infusing dollars into major cities. They really pretty much control the federal government, and now they have this concept called resilient cities in which they are using their money and influence in local cities."   I know the council member has apologized for his remarks accusing the Rothschilds of controlling the climate but has not responded to these about them controlling the federal government.   Do you have any comment?  Thank you,  Tamar Lapin

From: Francesca DeBiase, McDonald’s  

Date: Tuesday, 3/20, 8:00am CST 

Subject: McDonald’s New Climate Commitment 

Good morning, 

As you’ve seen, at McDonald’s we’re committed to using our scale for good and raising the bar on what it means to be a responsible company committed to people and the planet. 

Climate change is the biggest environmental issue of our time, affecting McDonald’s customers, employees, our communities and our supply chain. Today McDonald’s becomes the first global restaurant company in the world to set a Science Based Target to significantly reduce our greenhouse gas emissions. 

 

Today’s Announcement: McDonald’s Approved Science Based Target We are proud to share our target, approved by the Science Based Target initiative (SBTi), which includes our plans to: 

Page 177: americarisingarchive.com Smith, Brackett W. (Council) From: Sent: Thursday, March 29, 2018 5:01 PM To: Mendelson, Phil (COUNCIL); michelle.boorstein@washpost.com; Bowser@aol.com; Bowser,

Partner with franchisees to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from McDonald’s restaurants and offices by 36% by 2030 from a 2015 base year. 

Through collaboration and partnership with our suppliers and producers, McDonald’s also commits to a 31% reduction in emissions intensity (per metric ton of food and packaging) across our supply chain by 2030 from 2015 levels. 

Through actions across our supply chain, restaurants and offices, we expect to prevent 150 million metric tons of C02 equivalents (CO2e) from being released into the atmosphere by 2030. 

 150 million metric tons of C02e is the equivalent of: 

Taking 32 million passenger cars off the road for an entire year 

Planting 3.8 billion trees and growing them for ten years 

Nearly the carbon footprint of Belgium, Vietnam or the Czech Republic 

When you operate 37,000 restaurants in 120 markets, serving 69 million people each day, every change makes a big difference. But what makes our target unique?  

First restaurant company: We are excited to be the first global restaurant company with an approved Science Based Target to reduce emissions. 

Supply chain and franchisees: In partnership and collaboration, we will work with our extensive system of suppliers, producers and franchisees to achieve this ambitious target In a franchise restaurant business with a global supply chain, this means working with thousands of independent businesses – large and small – to address our collective emissions. 

Growing our business, not emissions: Our climate target will be integrated into our company DNA as part of our vision for a better McDonald’s. The target will enable McDonald’s to grow as a business without growing our emissions. 

Reporting our progress: McDonald’s remains committed to transparency and will expand its measurement systems, and annually communicate about challenges, progress and milestones. 

We will achieve our target by running more environmentally efficient restaurants and developing innovative solutions that reduce the greenhouse gas emissions in our supply chain from farm to restaurant. In collaboration with franchisees, suppliers and producers, we’re prioritizing action on the largest segments of our carbon footprint: beef production, restaurant energy usage and sourcing, packaging and waste. Combined, these account for approximately 64% of McDonald’s global emissions.  

We know we can’t achieve this alone, and we’re excited to take this next step in our sustainability journey with partners across the McDonald’s system and beyond. Building on the momentum of existing programs on forests, agriculture and energy efficiency, we will work together to continue identifying practical solutions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and bring them to scale. 

To learn more about our climate target, please visit our website and watch our video. Excited about the announcement? Please share on Twitter. We are thrilled to share this announcement with you and welcome any questions. We’re committed to continuing progress on our climate initiative and will keep you up to date with any future sustainability commitments.  

Best,

Council Member White, I am one of the directors of a DC based (at American University) research and policy organization that works on the governance of research on proposed "geoengineering" technologies. These technologies are all proposals at this point, none are being used, but there are research efforts under way in several U.S. states, and in a number of other countries. The U.S. Congress is considering two bills on research at the moment, for Federally funded efforts. My organization is focused on how decisions are made about the research into these technologies, who gets to have a voice in those decisions, and especially that the most vulnerable are considered. Im writing to see if it might be of interest for one of our staff to visit you at your offices, or set up a call, to brief you on this research. We'd be happy to discuss the state of what exactly is and isn't happening, and answer any questions you might have. Briefing lawmakers is a normal part of our work in this field. We understand you recently expressed some concerns about the concepts of weather and climate control. This is why we are reaching out. Let us know if we might brief you, at your convenience. Sincerely, Michael Thompson ‐‐   Michael Thompson Managing Director Forum for Climate Engineering Assessment School of International Service, American University www.ceassessment.org  o - 202 885 2459 m-   Let's talk!

Dear Wanda, Nate & Dana, It was good seeing you all last Saturday; that was a very good event! I hope you're all holding up under the firestorm. We have been careful not to pile on publicly, but we are, like so many others, very troubled by the CM's comments. I called twice yesterday but wasn't able to get through. I hope to be able to speak with the CM today. We're very relieved that there have been good communications between your office and JUFJ, CM Nadeau & CM Silverman, and encouraged that the anti-Semitism issue is being dealt with. There will always be folks who aren't satisfied, but most people are settling down on that front. Now, the climate change conspiracy theory is coming to the forefront and must be dealt with. Our members take climate change seriously, and it is particularly harmful to people of color, as the disaster in New Orleans demonstrates. Any dismissal of climate change as a conspiracy undermines efforts to deal with it. There is also the broader issue of speaking out about conspiracy theories. We are very concerned that the CM's reputation is being harmed by these statements. Given that he's talking on powerful interests, people will use every opportunity to discredit him and these statements are powerful ammunition. Given the delicacy of these issues, I have refrained from writing to the CM and still hope to talk with him in person. In the meantime, please let me know if I can help. Best, Kesh

D.C. Council member Trayon White Sr. (D-Ward 8) posted the video to his official Facebook page at 7:21 a.m. as snow flurries were hitting the nation’s capital. The video, shot through the windshield of a car driving west on Interstate 695 through downtown Washington, shows snowy skies while White narrates.  

“Man, it just started snowing out of nowhere this morning, man. Y’all better pay

attention to this climate control, man, this climate manipulation,” he says. “And

D.C. keep talking about, ‘We a resilient city.’ And that’s a model based off the

Rothschilds controlling the climate to create natural disasters they can pay for to

own the cities, man. Be careful.”

The Rothschilds are a famous European business dynasty descended from Mayer

Amschel Rothschild, an 18th-century Jewish banker who lived in what is today

Frankfurt, Germany. The family has repeatedly been subject over the years to

anti-Semitic conspiracy theories alleging that they and other Jews clandestinely

manipulate world events for their advantage. Are you CRAZY...  I will do everything in my power to see you have no career in politics...  You are crazy.....  Sheila Diamond

To Trayon White and your entire staff: 

I am writing to express my contempt and disgust for you personally, as well the comments you made about Jews controlling and influencing climate change. As a man of color, and as a person who is presumably educated and in the public eye, you know perfectly well how powerful words are. It was reprehensible of you to single out a group of people and make such a disturbing (and idiotic, unfounded, and false) statement. Guess what? This is called hate speech. 

You should be ashamed of yourself and your insincere apology fools no one. You remind me of a bully who is following the big guys‐‐just because certain people in the White House make outrageous, fictional comments does not mean it’s right. 

And the fact that you are a democrat? I don’t know whether to laugh or cry. You are not representing my party. 

I ask you: how do you expect my Jewish children to respond in school when other students say hateful things to them, quoting you? What have they done wrong, except to be born into a religion? Think about how you, as a father, would feel if such a thing happened to your own children. What would you say? How would you reassure them? How would you explain people’s ugliness? 

As you are also aware, you have the Jewish community to thank for even sitting in your chair. I will echo the comments 

of Rabbi Daniel Zemel of Temple Micah in Northwest Washington: “This kind of anti‐Semitism is unacceptable in any 

public official. This so diminishes what America is about and adds to the oppressive feeling going on in the country right 

now.”  

Congratulations. You have added to a culture of hatred. Is that what you work for as a council member?

Hi, I was thrilled to see your video posted on the fake snow. Not often one sees a DC lawmaker exposing climate terrorism by the globalists! 

Of course WP and google will debunk it but I wish you had not apologized – I can only assume you were threatened... 😠 

But calling out the Rothschilds and Rockefellers is not ”anti-Semitism” (that’s Marxist Alinsky tactics to shut down the conversation) by those why don’t want the truth out there. One has to hit back at these tactics.  

The “globalists”, headed by the Rothschilds, the Vatican and the British Crown are of all denominations, or so they pretend, they are generally Satanic worshipping Lucifer. 

Several people have already tested and analyzed this new conspicuous ”snow”... and its anything but snow. Its chemicals. Have you ever seen snow burn rather than melt over a flame? 

Next time do like the rest of us… and Trump – call them Globalists. Even though Rothschild is one of the foremost leading families, there are many.

Dear Councilmember White,  Through the wonders of the modern internet, I've become aware of the recent controversy involving some comments that you made.  While I appreciate sensitivity towards not being insulting towards people on the basis of stereotypes based on race, I hope that does not mean that you do not acknowledge the influence that rich and powerful people and families can have on our lives.  I really don't care about the race nor the religion of the Rothschild's family.   But surely that does not mean that we have to ignore that they are rich and powerful and indeed can have a powerful impact on the world and the lives of others.  I suppose I'm old‐school and feel that class and economic status is more important than race.  That seems to put me out of touch with a world where asking "Who's Your Daddy?" is the first and only question that is asked to define a person.  Its  money that makes the world go round.  And its class and economic status that largely defines our futures and our struggles.  I would strongly object to someone who says in a racist manner that "the Jews are responsible".  But I wonder what is going on when you criticize a rich and powerful family and are then attacked as being anti‐semitic?  I hope this does not mean that watching and criticizing the rich and powerful is no longer allowed, and that we must give up our struggles to make sure that others also have access to the resources to live safe, healthy and peaceful lives.  I have no idea of whether or not some sort of weather control technology is responsible for winter storms.  On one hand, there has certainly been research into controlling the weather.  But there were also big east coast winter storms long before this research.  So who knows?  I was laughing earlier today that the Brits are currently blaming the Russians for a different winter storm.  Of course the Russians are responsible for everything bad in the world.  And interestingly enough, that is not really considered a racist comment in this day and age.  The key would appear to be that we need to find language that lets us talk about the impact that the rich and powerful  can indeed have on the lives of ordinary people.  I don't know if they can control the weather, but the rich and powerful can effect markets, move industries and buy governments.   And it does seem as if the more old‐school language where we talk about class appears to set the groundwork for such a discussion without it becoming racist in nature.  And it has the extra bonus that it can bring African‐Americans and Italian‐Americans, and German‐Americans and Chinese‐Americans and even Russian‐Americans and everyone else together in a common struggle where people who have the same problems fight against common enemies.  Best wishes, Marc Schuler  Rocky Mountains.

My dear sir, 

I came across a brief article this morning pertaining to you and I wanted to offer a question for you to ponder.. A few questions really, but first name one thing that mankind has always feared? (weather/"acts of God") 

Weather manipulation is real, and we all can see it is. Its not even secret ( http://csat.au.af.mil/2025/volume3/vol3ch15.pdf ). In the past couple years though it has become a world‐wide issue. 

Unfortunately history has shown us that a select group of families have consistent involvement in war on all sides for their personal benefit. To them we are a resource to be managed. We are dealing with greed my friend; with people(regardless of ethnic background) that wish to be gods of this world.. 

I have a personal experience with the damage that weather manipulation can cause; and no amount of "gas‐lighting" will make me doubt what I have witnessed. What does your heart tell you when you look up and see a checkerboard sky? When the average Joe can test his rainwater and see the evidence of heavy metals that are being used in these dispersants. Why after years of doing this are they now talking it about in articles and news as if it is some new thing, and a possible solution to global warming? The truth is not being spoken and questions are silenced with ridicule. They pulled the race card on you sir, and I am sorry. 

Please never stop asking questions; no matter what. Truth is like a diamond, buried and hardened by pressure and time. Indestructible; and thanks to granular convection will always return to the surface as all things buried eventually do.. 

I once had the unfortunate blessing of meeting a Rockefeller. He was a regular at the restaurant I worked at.. One of my teachers is Christ and I try to live by his example; during a conversation with my manager (was tending the bar) I quoted John Lennon. "All you need is Love", to which the Rockefeller smirked and retorted, "All you need is Fear." This sums up these families. Evil does not care about the color of one's skin; the shape or history of the vessel.. 

Thank you for taking the time to read this. 

Blessings, Stewart B.

Dear Ms. Harrison,  I am writing regarding Council Member White's recent comments regarding the weather and the Rothschild family. I won't spend a great deal of time recounting why this is anti‐semitic. I am sure you have already heard but I would be happy to discuss if not.  As a resident of Ward 8, I was very proud to see a home grown son of the ward join the District council. I hoped that Council Member White would be a force for positive change in the Ward but also serve as an inspiration for young people growing up in the community that there is no ceiling to their ambitions if they work hard.  Council Member White's disparaging anti‐semitic remarks have deeply hurt me but they cause the most hurt to the Jewish community in Washington, DC. Worse, they diminish Council Member White and show a level of ignorance that is not acceptable in a Council Member.   I hope that Council Member White takes some time to deeply reflect and educate himself. Prejudice comes in many shapes and forms and he would do well to learn from this. An apology is more than just saying sorry on Twitter. If Council Member White would like my continued support, he will not just utter an apology but act on it by being on the forefront of educating our community about his error and working to bring our diverse communities together. This is the least he can do if he wishes to command the respect of his community and our children.   Regards,  Micah Winograd Ward 8 Resident

From: Jill Melamed Sent: Monday, March 19, 2018 1:16 PMTo: Lockridge, Wanda (Council)Subject: Information/Dialogue/Anti-Semitism

Dear Ms. Lockridge, I wanted to take the opportunity to reach out to Mr. White's office. I did not see any way to email him directly. I think it is important to speak up in the face of any expressions of racism/prejudice. Mr. White recently apologized for perpetuating old anti-Semitic stereotype/conspiracy theories. I believe the best way to respond to Mr. White is with open-heartedness and not with anger. I am a Jew--culturally. I happen not to be religious and do not hold a belief in God. With that said, I am very much attached to my Jewish identity. The Jews have a long and varied history. My grandparents came here in the early 1900s. They were dirt poor. There is poverty among Jews and there is a long history of Jew hatred. It's baffling, really. I think stereotypes are perpetuated in ignorance (NOT stupidity. Ignorance. Ignorance meaning the person spreading ideas really doesn't know.) Now, Jews and African Americans have indeed suffered under racism; however, it is true that the Jews have fared better economically and socially. Is it because we are white and so get a better shake? Is it because we Jews came here on our own---albeit we came here fleeing terrible conditions. At any rate, I wanted to reach out to Mr. White and his office because I know that there is resentment among many people toward the Jews. But remember, we are individuals with a rich culture. We Jews have always been at the forefront of Civil Right's movement. In fact, my own parents were kicked out of their building back in 1949. The building was owned by Met Life and was mean for GI's after WWII. Well, it was discovered that black families were being turned away. My parents were among the people who fought for equal rights. As a result, their lease was not renewed. This is some info on that period: https://www.dnainfo.com/new-york/20110519/lower-east-side-east-village/filmmaker-inspired-by-stuyvesant-town-integration-battle And then their is Israel. In my opinion, Israel is a gift to anti-Semites because all the hatred for the Jews can be focused on Israel. People who claim to have legitimate criticisms of Israel eventually show their true anti-Jewish colors. So, in closing, please know that the Jews haven't conspired to bankrupt the world. We don't control the banks or the media. Many Jews have been successful, but that is because there is a strong value placed on academic achievement and on social responsibility. Also,we were the immigrants and wanted to do better than our ancestors. I hope you take my note in the spirit I intended. Thank you for reading this far. -Jill Melamed

Hi Wanda, 

I want to reach out to Councilmember White, and realize he is probably getting a ton of negative emails right now. I was an ANC Commissioner from 2001‐2013 on Capitol Hill.  I'm a Jew. I sincerely appreciate Councilmember White's apology. Via twitter, I invited him to visit the US Holocaust Memorial Museum with me. My schedule is extremely flexible, and we don't need any experts from the museum and we do not need to make it a media event (however, if your office would like to, we can). I took an amazing class in University on the Holocaust and have researched it and how it affected my family extensively. I'm not an 'expert' but I know a ton about it. 

We could then meet an expert (or we can just read and discuss this amazing article ‐ https://www.timesofisrael.com/in‐germanys‐extermination‐program‐for‐black‐africans‐a‐template‐for‐the‐holocaust/) to learn about the German Genocide against German Congo in Africa 30 years before.  It was the precursor and practice for the mass slaughter that would occur from 1933‐1945. This is not a set up, or political cat fishing. It's sincere from me. It's an opportunity for our communities to learn together and build some bridges!

Ok full disclosure, I’m Jewish always have been always will be.   Also I have no idea who you are what you do and what your political positions are.  I’m not insulted by your comment.  It was a good line IF you really meant to be in a sarcastic way.  Only you know.   I just saw that comment as sort of comical, wise guy sarcasm, the kind of stuff I would say.  One of my pet peeves is political correctness towards anybody.  In my mind every man, woman, ethnic group, religion sexual orientation etc is fair game for  sarcasm or being the butt of a well intended joke told by anyone. In my book a black guy can tell a joke with a white guy on the butt end or vice versa.   That goes for everyone of every flavor.  When we can accept that, that’s when we get over all the isms — racism, sexism, etc.  If people are overly sensitive, in my mind, they are by definition racists or sexist or whatever because they put way too much importance on the very characteristic we are trying not to isolate on.  People just have to get over their self importance and sensitivity.  The trend is really f’ing up the world.   I don’t know where this comment falls.  Unfortunately public figures have to be as tight assed as a frog these days.  Even comedians are taking flak.  If Chappell or Carlos Mencia had said that in a bit I doubt it would garnish a raised eyebrow.   So, as I said, only you know what you meant.  Apology — not necessary.

From: Samantha Dercher Sent: Monday, March 19, 2018 12:02 PMTo: White, Sr., Trayon (Council)Subject: I respectfully urge Trayon White Sr. to resign

As a DC resident (Ward 6, zip code 20003), I would like to register my concern regarding the continued presence of Trayon White Sr. on the D.C. City Council.  Last Friday, Ward 8 Council member Trayon White Sr. posted a video to his official Facebook page that included a famously anti‐Semitic conspiracy theory that the Rothschilds, a European Jewish family, control the weather and create natural disasters so that they can "own the cities." He issued a warning for DC to "be careful," because Mr. White saw and believed an anti‐Semitic, anti‐science, anti‐logic conspiracy theory and felt the need to share it with a public audience, not just on a personal account, but in his official capacity as a representative of the District of Columbia.  I understand that Mr. White has since apologized and denied that he intended anti‐Semitism. I feel that this apology is insufficient considering the nature of Mr. White's offense, which should disqualify him from public service for a variety of reasons.  Anti‐Semitism Should Have No Place in DC's Governance "Accidental" anti‐Semitism is still anti‐Semitism. It is still dangerous, it still makes Jews unsafe, and it is still deadly. My grandparents were put into death camps because their fellow Europeans believed the same kinds of conspiracy theories as Mr. White ‐ that Jews control the world. My grandparents' entire families were murdered because no one cared if Jews lived or died. And no one cared if they lived or died because of propaganda machines pushing conspiracy theories that Jews controlled everything, from weather to banks to international law to local finances.  Anti‐Semitic incidents surged nearly 60% in 2017. This is the largest single‐year increase on record, and it is the highest level of anti‐Semitic attacks in two decades.   Mr. White should resign because his comments make Jews less safe, whether he intended them to or not.  Conspiracy Theories Should Have No Place in DC's Governance Even if this conspiracy theory was not anti‐Semitic, it should disqualify Mr. White from public office. It is dangerous to push information out to the public over official government channels when that information has no basis in reality or fact. DC as a whole is made less safe when its residents cannot trust that our representatives know what they are talking about or care about the truth. How can anyone who lives in DC believe anything a member of our government says, now that we know they are susceptible to believing even the most patently absurd conspiracy theories? How are we supposed to have any faith or trust in our government?   Mr. White should resign because his comments foster mistrust in government at a critical time in our nation's history.  Anti‐Science Should Have No Place in DC's Governance If DC wants to continue to be a beautiful, diverse, vibrant, wonderful city to live in, it needs to live in the real world. And in the real world, scientists believe that our climate is changing because of human‐created factors. Government officials do not know more about this than scientists, environmentalists, and those who have spent their lives researching these issues in evidence‐based and fact‐based capacities. Again, how can DC's residents have faith that our leaders will address climate change and other environmental concerns properly, if our representatives use their official accounts to oppose science and reason?  Mr. White should resign because his comments reflect a disdain for fact, reason, and science that disqualify him from public office.  I would appreciate a response from you on why you think Mr. White should continue to represent DC, given these disqualifying factors.   Respectfully, Samantha ‐‐‐

Just because a person happens to be of a particular race, religion, or gender, does NOT mean one is speaking of the entire group when referring to an individual.

Dear Councilmember White, I write with shock and anger at your anti-Semitic comment blaming rich Jews for climate change. I appreciate your apology but urge you to do way more to educate yourself. I have no idea how you think a family could affect the climate. It's obviously all of us -- 9 billion people using up resources are causing climate change -- and terrible policies to rely on gasoline, make energy-abusing bitcoin, chemicals. As to you Anti Jewish statement, anti-Jewish beliefs go back centuries and lead to terrible things happening to people. My step-fathers' mother left Poland and survived but her parents and two of her brothers were murdered at Auschwitz. Her younger brother lived in a barn of a Polish family that risked their lives to hide him for five years. As a Jew growing up in Ohio, I was called anti-Jewish slurs. Please visit the Holocaust Museum and educate yourself on what horrible things can happen because of anti-Semitism. Also, please read up on the attacks on Jews in Europe. Just last week, PBS Newshour ran a story on the rise of anti Jewish views in Germany: To douse growing anti-Semitism, Germans call for Holocaust education for recent migrants

I am glad you are working with Jews United for Justice and hope you use this time to repeatedly apologize and educate yourself about a 2,000 year old hostility and violence against Jewish people. I attend Bet Mishpachah, an LGBTQ Jewish synagogue at the DC Jewish Community Center. If you would like to attend, please let me know. I recommend you visit other synagogues and even attend a Seder on March 30 and 31. There are LGBT Seders and Labor Seders. Jewish people are diverse. We are gay and lesbian. We are African American and Latina. And, we are afraid of the virulent anti-Jewish statements and acts in the world.

Hi Council member (hopefully soon to be ex‐Council member) White,  The fact that you believe in a conspiracy theory as asinine and impossible as the Rothschilds controlling the weather shows that you are likely mentally and intellectually unfit to hold public office. And much like saying "I have Black friends" does not excuse anti‐Black racism, saying your "Jewish friends" are helping you doesn't excuse your anti‐Semitism. I'm not even Jewish, and the increasing attacks on people of the Jewish faith, such as the spreading of truly idiotic conspiracy theories, is absolutely sickening. How dare you claim to be a public servant while espousing hate against members of the DC community?  You have failed to serve your constituents, and you no longer deserve to collect your cushy $138,000 salary. I've worked in the public sector before as a charter school teacher in Ward 8, and my $50K‐earning self would have rightfully been fired if I said anything like this. But since you're in a higher pay grade, I guess accountability and human decency don't matter. Act like you have some semblance of morality and resign, you absolute disgrace.  Best, Jane

Dear Councilmember White: I am a resident of Ward One. I wonder if you understand how truly hurtful and ignorant your comments on a Rothchild conspiracy are. I don't think so or you never would have said it out loud or even thought it. These conspiracy theories have been used over the centuries as a justification for actions taken by individuals and governments against the Jewish populations all over the world. These "theories" is why my grandfathers family had to change their surname to clearly identify them as Jewish, why the prohibitions against owning property and the types of employment that could be held by Jews were enacted. Here you are an elected government official buying into this, well, crap. Have you never studied history? Gotten your information from someplace else than online? I don't buy your apparently private apology to my Councilmember even is she does, because after all some of your best colleagues are Jewish. Think about the Jews you do not know. Can you truly answer the question "will you shelter me" with a yes from a Jew you do not know? I will accept an apology from you when you actually have read about and understand why what you said is so offensive. Until then you are an embarrassment to the District of Columbia and the residents you serve. Denise Denise L. Wiktor Attorney at Law

What you said was not anti-semitic. They are purely at fault for driving the helm of global warming. The Rothschilds are not a Semitic people, YOU are a Semitic man, so do not let them confuse you. I hope you have not. A divided house cannot stand against itself, so since you are of the original Semites and not the false ones, they are sadly mistaken. They seek to confuse you, but you are not confused - they are. If they think a simple comment stating a fact is 'anti-semitic', then they are anti-Semitic for speaking out against you.

You did not need to apologize for telling the truth. -- ###This message and any attachments thereto, is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.

Dear Mr. White,   Thank you for your apology regarding your Rothschilds affecting weather comment the other day.  I just wanted you to know how it affected me as a Jewish woman in Atlanta.  It was so hurtful.  All my life, I was taught by my family, and then I modeled to our four sons and others, how to be a kind and generous person, not just to my fellow Jew, but to my fellow person.  I was raised to be sensitive to the plight of others, and I raised our children to be sensitive to the plight of others.  That means volunteering our time and donating money.  This included one son who helped build a home for Habitat for Humanity.  Another son volunteered to teach English to Native Americans while he was in graduate school.  Another son helped acquire backpacks filled with school supplies to send to victims of Hurricane Katrina.  Another son volunteered by playing his bass guitar at the local children’s hospital.   My husband and I also have done and do many things too to help including reading with children at schools, coaching baseball and soccer, helping find jobs for others, volunteering our legal skills.    I am still shocked in this day and age that people still blame the Jewish nation for all sorts of calamities.  It sounds like you were raised with a good compass according to your biography.  I am sure that your comment on social media was meant to be funny, but there was a sting to it.  Somewhere in your background, you learned that the Rothschilds ‐ the Jews have great control of the world.  Maybe it was one bad egg and if so, I’m sorry for that.  But, you can’t blame an entire group of people.  I know you know that.  I think everyone is so connected to social media that it’s easy to make mistakes.  We feel like we have to post and say something everyday.  And, as you know, a comment on social media finds it’s place worldwide very quickly.  We need less of that and more of action and speaking one on one to people again.  I hope you find that my email speaks to you.  Thank you again for your apology.  I hope and pray that you grow from this experience and that you continue to do positive things for our world.   Warmly, Pam Williams

Mr. White: Yes, your promoting the notion that climate change is part of a Jewish conspiracy was indeed stupid; however, it’s clear from your comments that you are, frankly, a dim-witted, ignorant, and inept man. I don’t doubt that you’d like to do what's right for your constituents and I applaud your good intentions, but you don’t have the chops to understand what needs to be done or how to interpret and articulate the many varied interrelated parts, patterns, and elements at play in our everyday world. Your representation of your constituents is bound to be ineffective because of your utter lack of qualifications. No intelligent, educated, experienced voter could bring themselves to vote for someone who canbarely speak English. Some examples of your gibberish include:

“The Jewish community have been allies with me in my journey to help people. I did not intend to be anti-Semitic, and I see I should not have said that after learning from my colleagues”;

“Man, it just started snowing out of nowhere this morning, man. Y’all better pay attention tothis climate control, man, this climate manipulation”; and

“And D.C. keep talking about, ‘We a resilient city.’ And that’s a model based off the Rothschilds controlling the climate to create natural disasters they can pay for to own the cities, man. Be careful.”

If you can’t at least speak above a third-grade level, does it make sense that you could ever understand the complexities of the world in order to act rationally on behalf of your constituents? Joseph M Gaffney

Dear Councilman White,  You are absolutely right about there being something wrong with the weather.  The metropolitan banks have much to do with it.  No one has the power to cause dangerous weather, but the investments made by big banks enabling projects like the tar sands pipelines are causing climate change that is causing weather disasters.  It has been warmer several days this winter in Fairbanks Ak, and at the north pole, than it was in Burlington VT.  That is not normal.  For millions of years daily "weather systems", powered by the oceans, have not regularly expanded to the polar regions . The polar regions didn't used to have much weather at all.  It was just very cold and clear with a couple inches of snow accumulation a year, and powerful winds.  Snow and ice accumulated because it never melted.  Now the size of ocean storms sweeps the polar regions several times a month making them warmer and driving snow storms to the deep south.  The northeast has had three major "Nor'easters" in two weeks and are anticipating a fourth.  The fringes of these storms have swept the North Atlantic, well above the Arctic circle as they pass out to sea.  The deep low pressure created over the Atlantic that creates the massive cyclone storms has sucked down subzero Artic air to New England this weekend (below zero this morning and yesterday), and has warmed Arctic regions. The only solution is to stop warming seawater.  It is about CO2, NO2, Methane (natural gas leaks), and the other "greenhouse gasses". The trapped sunlight is heating the sea surface and upsetting the climate.  There is no real scientific disagreement.  It is time to stop fossil fuel use, and stop the big banks from profiting from these destructive investments.  Business as usual will create climate chaos.  Thank you for your apology to our Jewish community, and thank you for seeing the crazy weather. Your upset is justified, but please focus your anger at the real source of the problem, fossil fuels (Kochs, and friends in the GOP).  The effort must include every racial, ethnic, and religious minority (and as an aging white Unitarian I am in a minority ‐ even if a "privileged" one).  We face a singular powerful adversary in the climate battle.  And this conflict is just one of several that we need to be unified to overcome (hate crimes, guns, poverty, criminal justice, wealth imbalance, voter suppression, immigration, ...).  Peace and solidarity.  Ed Hutchinson  Plainfield, VT

From:Sent: Monday, March 19, 2018 8:06 AMTo: White, Sr., Trayon (Council)Subject: response to comment about Jews controlling the weather

Dear Sir, with all due respect, the idea that any specific person or group of people could control the world wide weather, 

or any small area of the country is an idiotic expression and shows profound ignorance of science. I know that 

Republicans have these kinds of thoughts but I never thought I would hear of a Democrat thinking the same way. The 

weather is based on the amount of water and heat in the atmosphere, which the US is contributing to heating up, and 

that means thousands of feet up and to the bottom of the ocean. Then when one considers how much pollution there is 

in the oceans that are put there by the population of the world, which also effects the ocean’s temperature and the 

destruction storms cost, you would be wise to go to college and learn some science. 

And you should also learn the Transcendental Meditation technique (TM). It will result in you being a lot smarter and 

kinder. Look at www.tm.org, www.mum.edu, www.permanentpeace.org, www.tmbusiness.org, www.doctorsontm.org.

Laurence Topliffe 

 

The killing of an animal creates bad karma. It is the soul that has the body that is responsible for the act. Killing 

animals is one of the basic reasons for war. As long as humans kill animals, humans will kill humans.  

What Is Karma and How Does it Work?  

Judith Johnson, Author, Educator, Coach and Interfaith Minister 

The term "karma" is often used with great casualness, with little understanding of its profundity. People dismissively say 

"it's my karma," suggesting that their destiny or fate is merely the luck or bad fortune of the draw. This use of the term 

suggests a lack of personal power or responsibility for being at both the cause and the effect of what occurs in one's life. 

Using the phrase "it's my karma" suggests victimhood, and karma is anything but victimhood. 

In Christianity, according to the American Heritage Dictionary, the term "sin" is commonly defined as missing the mark 

through "deliberate disobedience to the known will of God." This missing of the mark, also called karma, is the spiritual 

accountability for our actions. Thus, "karma" is not what we commonly think of as "good" or "bad" fortune, but rather 

the causal responsibility for those results.  

This deeper understanding of karma rests upon our essential identity as souls ‐‐ spiritual beings who are animated by a 

vital and divine force. As souls we are spiritually held accountable for what we create, promote, and allow in our lives. 

We are constantly in the process of accruing and/or balancing out karmic debts of responsibility for our creations. Karma 

is not physical, it is spiritual, and we carry karma forward through time within a given lifetime or, as some believe, from 

one lifetime until the next. Once accrued, the balancing action of karma plays out on the stage of our everyday lives 

through our bodies, thoughts, feelings, relationships, circumstances, and experiences. The name of the game of life is to 

Page 313: americarisingarchive.com Smith, Brackett W. (Council) From: Sent: Thursday, March 29, 2018 5:01 PM To: Mendelson, Phil (COUNCIL); michelle.boorstein@washpost.com; Bowser@aol.com; Bowser,

pay off our karmic debts rather than accruing new ones so we can come to know ourselves and others as divine beings 

and enter into the consciousness of God.  

Just as gravity is a law of the physical world, so is karma a law of the spiritual world. We are held responsible for our 

actions and, more precisely, for the intention of our actions. This responsibility exists within the context of an individual 

soul's relationship with God. When one deliberately disobeys the will of God, karma is accrued. It is the intent of one's 

actions that generates karma. All major religions have some version of the seven deadly sins to caution followers in 

avoiding yielding to desires, illusions, and choices that take us away from the will of God. The causal relationship 

between our current actions and future occurrences is referenced in Galations 6:7 (King James Version) "Be not 

deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap."  

Spiritually, as well as physically, the type and quality of seeds one plants will determine the quality of the crop to be 

harvested. As souls, what we do comes back to us according to God's design. If we have imbalances in our consciousness 

(known as karmic debts), we either find ourselves presented with the same lesson again and again within one lifetime 

until we gain the wisdom and value of the lesson being presented, or we re‐embody, carrying the karma over from one 

lifetime till the next. Spirit is forever patient with our process of learning.  

Karma is not about retribution, vengeance, punishment or reward, but a reaping of the harvest we ourselves have 

planted. Through our thoughts and behaviors, we sow seeds that are later harvested.  

When karma comes present in our lives, it is because we are being given the opportunity to reap our harvest. There is no 

such thing as a good harvest or a bad harvest. It is just our harvest. It is our opportunity to make different choices in life 

than those that caused our karmic accrual in the first place. Karma is at once the consequence of past actions and the 

opportunity for healing and balancing in the present. It is a balancing action that offers us chances through life 

circumstances, situations, and relationships to learn important spiritual lessons. It has been my experience that gaining 

understanding of how the karma has been manifesting in our lives comes only after the balancing and learning have 

already occurred ‐‐ like a kind of 20/20 hindsight. Understanding these lessons sharpens and clarifies the lens through 

which our consciousness perceives, and in so doing, elevates our awareness of the presence of Spirit in our lives.  

If you espouse the belief that this world is somehow a classroom and we, as souls, are here to learn, then you probably 

appreciate the law of karma as an exquisite design to tailor our lessons to our own personal needs. The irony is that the 

personality and mind of our ego self is subject to a higher authority when it comes to determining the nature of the 

lessons to be learned and how and when they will be taught. 

If you believe in God, you probably think that the unpredictability of karmic payback is pretty smart too. While we are in 

total control of whether or not we create new karma for ourselves, we don't get a say in how and when payback comes. 

So, a worldview with God in it is rather like being a kid trying to behave because Christmas is coming. You know your 

behavior has consequences and that you are accountable for your choices. 

The goal here is not to have an absence of karma. We are here because we have karma to work out and lessons to learn. 

However, learning our lessons and seeking a healthy relationship with God seems to be a really smart strategy. 

Here are a few great quotes about karma: 

Men are not punished for their sins, but by them. ‐‐ Elbert Hubbard  Thoughts lead on to purposes; purposes go forth in action; actions form habits; habits decide character; and character fixes our destiny. ‐‐Tryon Edwards  There are the waves and there is the wind, seen and unseen forces. Everyone has these same elements in their lives, the seen and unseen, karma and free will. ‐‐ Kuan Yin

Boy, are you a halfwit. Nobody has that kind of climate control--and if they did, they would make much more money selling their services to governments.

By the way, nobody believes that you didn’t know you were being “anti‐Semitic” when you deliberately invoked the Rothschilds in your simple‐minded‐‐and untrue‐‐conspiracy theory. Where have you been getting all your anti‐Jewish sophistry‐‐Breitbart News?  Suggestion: buy some history books, learn to write correctly and cut off the dreads so you look more like a respectable politician than a Jamaican ganja saleman. And perhaps go back to school.   “Control the climate” indeed. We can’t even predict the local weather with more than 60%‐75% accuracy three days out. And yes, there is a difference between “climate” and “weather”‐‐look it up.   As an educated black man, ignorant, bigoted people like you embarrass the hell out of me.

Dear Councilman White, If you really spoke and posted that strange statement about the Rothschilds controlling the brief DC snowfall the other day, you should not only be ashamed of yourself, but you really should read more widely.  Not only does nobody control the weather (rich or poor), but certainly blaming a Jewish European banking family whose days of financial success are long in the past, is the silliest and most uneducated kind of thinking. No person or family or wishful thinking causes weather. If you had any kind of primary school education, you should have learned that. That you would blame a highly‐regarded Jewish banking family shows that you have not been paying attention to the world around you, to history, or to real events that occur every day.  I truly hope you will apologize to every Jewish person and organization you have insulted with your thoughtless, ugly, and misinformed comments. And get this—there is no worldwide Jewish power or financial conspiracy controlling this country or any other, either. If that were true, there would be no Jewish poverty, unemployment, or misery. I assure you all of that exists in this country and everywhere around the world.  Sincerely, Ellen Abrams

Dear Councilmember White,  

Please educate yourself before repeating idiotic fake news conspiracy claims. Your comments are particularly misplaced as your constituents are among the most susceptible to climate change impacts and most likely to benefit from charitable efforts to improve resiliency. Your ignorant comments are an embarrassment to all residents of Washington, DC. The people of Washington, DC deserve an apology, as do the members of the Jewish community.

Councilman, I read where you said the inclement weather was controlled by the Rothschild family. For someone who graduated Magda cum laude, this pronouncement is absurd, racist and bigoted. Remember, you were elected to represent the interests and aspirations of your constituents. You do a disservice to them and the people of DC with this anti‐Semitic nonsense. That sound of rushing air coming out of the balloon is your career whistling away.  Sent from my iPad
