This past Friday Apple introduced its newest phone, the Apple Pro 18. On the same day, in the US and around the world, protestors exposed the company’s technological collaboration with Israel to commit genocide in Gaza and its purchase of minerals extracted in conflict zones, often with child labor, in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. At San Francisco’s Union Square Apple, participants spoke out, using the campaign slogan “No to Blood Tech.” Pacifica’s Steve Zeltzer interviewed Tariq Ra’ouf of Apples Against Apartheid.

Last week we aired a segment from the Canadian Parliamentary Allison Inquiry – Listening to Canadian COVID-19 Vaccine Injured. Today we’ll hear a segment from the Inquiry seemingly ripped from a TV police drama a la “Serpico” starring a whistle-blowing detective trying to get to the bottom of a medical mystery featuring dead infant babies. Ottawa Police Detective Helen Grus is questioned by Inquiry lawyer Shawn Buckley about her job as a police detective investigating a spike in child and infant deaths starting within a few months of the COVID-19 vaccine rollouts of late 2020, early 2021. She reveals some inner workings of police procedures by exposing failures and shortcomings surrounding her department’s investigations of this spike in deaths. She also details disciplinary charges lodged against her by police superiors in an effort to shut down her inquiries and her ongoing struggle for both justice and truth about the devastating consequences of government mandated experimental COVID 19 vaccines.
As referenced in the segment, a documentary by filmmaker Todd Harris called Silencing Detective Grus is available for viewing at https://grusjusticeproject.org/.
