coexist in the country, employing more than 468,000 full-time officers. It is an overwhelmingly white and male police force. Only one in four officers is African American or Hispanic, according to the Justice Department's Office of Judicial Statistics (BJS).

Aunque nadie podría describir a Estados Unidos como un Estado policiaco, en el país coexisten más de 12,000 departamentos locales de policía que emplean a más de 468,000 oficiales de tiempo completo. Se trata de una fuerza policial abrumadoramente blanca y varonil. Sólo uno de cada 4 oficiales es afroamericano o hispano, de acuerdo con la Oficina de Estadísticas Judiciales (BJS) del Departamento de Justicia. Es indiscutible que existen razones legítimas para el uso de la fuerza, en ocasiones letal, por las fuerzas del orden. Por ejemplo, cuando el agente policial cree razonablemente que un atacante representa una amenaza significativa para la integridad física del policía o de otras personas, o si un sospechoso escapa y puede representar una amenaza para otros. Bajo esas reglas, la muerte del afroamericano George Floyd en Minneapolis, Minnesota ha sido declarada como un “homicidio”. Derek Chauvin, el policía que la aplicó una presión de rodilla en el cuello durante 8 minutos y 53 segundos, incluidos casi 3 minutos cuando el sujeto estaba inmóvil, fue acusado de asesinato en tercer grado. (Nota del editor: desde que escribió, el cargo de Derek Chauvin ha sido elevado a asesinato en segundo grado) De acuerdo con cifras de Campaign Zero, un total de 253 personas desarmadas fueron muertas por la policía en 2014 en los Estados Unidos. Noventa y un incidentes letales empezaron por simples violaciones de tráfico. La pregunta pertinente es: ¿Qué debe hacer la sociedad para reducir el uso excesivo de la fuerza policías y las muertes innecesarias? No hace falta escarbar mucho para encontrar las mejores prácticas policiales no sólo en otros países sino dentro de los Estados Unidos. Entre las recomendaciones de los expertos: Un extenso entrenamiento cultural obligatorio de agentes policiales para proteger a las comunidades, especialmente a las minorías, sin recurrir al uso de la fuerza letal, como ocurre en Alemania o Inglaterra; revisar las reglas del uso de la fuerza, incluido contra vehículos en movimiento; establecer un requerimiento para los departamentos de policía que reporten y revisen incidentes violentos; uso mandatorio de cámaras de video corporales; terminar con la transferencia de equipo militar a

La respuesta policial a las protestas detonadas en más de 70 ciudades por la muerte de George Floyd confirma sin embargo la dificultad de lograr cambios rápidos y significativos.

Ni intimidación, ni militarización son la solución al problema.

hree people die every 24 hours in the United States at the hands of the police, according to data from a report made last year by the investigative site "Mapping Police Violence". About 24% of the victims are AfricanAmerican, despite being only 13% of the country's population. It is in recent years become an alarming trend that has been made visible like never before by the omnipresence of cell phones and social networks. Although no one could describe the United States as a police state, more than 12,000 local police departments

It is indisputable that there are legitimate reasons for the sometimes lethal use of force by law enforcement. For example, when the police officer reasonably believes that an attacker poses a significant threat to the physical integrity of the police officer or other persons, or if a suspect escapes and may pose a threat to others. Under those rules, the death of AfricanAmerican George Floyd in Minneapolis, Minnesota has been declared a "homicide”. Derek Chauvin, the police officer who applied knee pressure to his neck for 8 minutes and 53 seconds, including nearly 3 minutes when the subject was immobile, was charged with thirddegree murder (Editor’s note: since writing, Derek Chauvin’s charge has been raised to second-degree murder). According to Campaign Zero figures, a total of 253 unarmed people were killed by police in 2014 in the United States. Ninety-one fatal incidents started with simple traffic violations. The pertinent question is: What should society do to reduce the excessive use of police force and unnecessary deaths? You don't have to dig deep to find the best police practices not only in other countries but within the United States. Among the experts' recommendations: Extensive compulsory cultural training of police officers to protect communities, especially minorities, without resorting to the use of lethal force, as in Germany or England; review the rules of the use of force, including against moving vehicles; establish a requirement for police departments to report and review violent incidents; mandatory use of body video cameras; end the transfer of military equipment to the police, among others. The police response to protests sparked in more than 70 cities by the death of George Floyd, however, confirms the difficulty of achieving rapid and significant change. Agents are being accused of using rubber bullets, pepper spray, and tear gas indiscriminately, including against peaceful protesters. Neither intimidation nor militarization are the solution to the problem. The fight over firearms regulation shows that no profound change is easy, but doing nothing would be the worst offense to the memory of the victims. For more information visit www.laredhispana.com.

ome European countries have announced plans to reopen their borders in a bid to kickstart summer tourism after the coronavirus pandemic. Italy has opened its borders again; Germany is set to lift its ban on international travel, but the United Kingdom continues to quarantine foreign arrivals. ITALY Italy allowed free movement between regions and opened its borders to European Union countries on Wednesday after almost three months of closure due to the outbreak. The country was one of the worst infection hotspots in Europe with more than 233,500 confirmed cases and 33,500 deaths. It has been gradually reopening after bringing the contagion under control and tourism is high on the list of priorities as it is one of the main industries for the nation. After some opposition from regional leaders, especially in the south and on the islands, which were not as badly affected as the north, it was agreed to lift travel restrictions. Each region can impose its own measures to screen arrivals for possible infections, including temperature checks, rapid testing, health questionnaires and recording people’s movements during their stay.

CONCERNED ABOUT ASTHMA AND ¿PREOCUPADO POR EL ASMA Y LAS ALLERGIES DURING COVID-19? ALERGIAS EN TIEMPOS DE COVID-19?

llergy season is causing congestion, coughing, itchy eyes and other classic symptoms for people across the country. However, this year brings new concerns as COVID-19 has dramatically impacted everyone's lives, and people with asthma and allergies have many questions. "With the coronavirus pandemic coinciding with allergy season, many people with asthma and allergies have questions about symptoms, risks and medication," says allergist Dr. J. Allen Meadows, president of the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (ACAAI). "It's more important than ever to use medications to control symptoms while taking precautions to stay healthy. Remember that your allergy symptoms usually happen annually. So if symptoms seem familiar and you've had them in the past, there's a pretty good chance it's your allergies at work again."

"ACAAI recomienda que cualquier persona que tenga alergias o asma debe seguir las orientaciones de los CDC, como usar tapabocas cuando está en un lugar público, mantener una distancia apropiada de las demás personas, lavarse las manos con agua y jabón durante 20 segundos como mínimo, y no tocarse los ojos, la nariz ni la boca", aconseja Meadows.

intranasal corticosteroids for nasal allergies and your inhaled corticosteroids or biologic therapy for your asthma. There is no data to show that continuing these allergy and asthma medications will have any effect on increasing your risk of getting COVID-19, or if you get the infection, lead to a worse outcome.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention considers asthma to be one of the chronic illnesses that may increase the chance of a severe case of COVID-19. Here's what you need to know if you or a family member suffers from asthma:

"It's more important than ever to take medications and control allergy and asthma symptoms because they may lead to misdiagnosis of COVID-19 as there is some overlap of symptoms," says Meadows.

Respiratory viruses trigger asthma flares

It is important if you have been diagnosed with COVID-19 (or suspect you may have COVID-19) and are using a nebulizer at home, that you know the virus may persist in droplets in the air for 1-2 hours. Therefore, you should use a nebulizer in a location that minimizes exposure of droplets to members of your household who aren't infected.

Respiratory viruses are the most common trigger for asthma flares - the severe worsening of the condition that typically requires oral steroids to relieve symptoms. Not all viruses affect asthma patients equally and some viruses such as influenza and rhinovirus are more likely to trigger asthma flares than others. "Right now, we don't know if COVID-19 is one of those viruses that tends to trigger an asthma flare," says Meadows. There's not a higher risk of contracting COVID-19 Currently, there is no clear evidence that patients with asthma are at a higher risk of contracting COVID-19. However, asthma is an underlying medical condition that may be associated with more severe disease if you are infected with this virus. "ACAAI recommends that anyone with allergies or asthma should follow CDC guidelines such as using a face mask while in public, keeping an appropriate distance from others, washing your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, and avoiding touching your eyes, nose and mouth," says Meadows. Asthma and allergy medications don't increase COVID-19 risks You may be concerned about using your

Take precautions if you do get COVID-19

"Choose a location for your treatment where air is not recirculated into the home," Meadows says. "Places like a porch, patio or garage with surfaces that can be cleaned more easily are good options." Reach out to an allergist with questions Allergists recommend people with asthma stay on medications to control symptoms. If you have questions about your symptoms or current medications, contact your allergist. Many now offer telemedicine where they meet with you remotely via video or phone. And many telemedicine visits are covered by insurance. "Allergists are asthma specialists. They can help answer questions, provide guidance and ease concerns regarding both asthma and allergies. You can find a local allergist at acaai.org/locate-an-allergist," says Meadows. "If you do become infected with COVID-19, use caution and avoid experimental treatments unless the treatment is specifically recommended by the physician caring for you."

a temporada de alergias está causándoles congestión, accesos de tos, irritación en los ojos y otros síntomas clásicos a los estadounidenses. Sin embargo, este año se añaden nuevas preocupaciones, pues la COVID-19 ha ejercido un impacto sin precedentes en las vidas de todos, y las personas con asma y alergias se formulan muchas preguntas al respecto. "Como la pandemia de la COVID-19 está coincidiendo con la temporada de alergias, muchas personas con asma y alergias tienen preguntas sobre los síntomas, riesgos y medicamentos¨, afirma el Dr. J. Allen Meadows, alergólogo y presidente del American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (ACAAI). "Es más importante que nunca el uso de medicamentos para controlar los síntomas, y tomar precauciones para mantenerse sanos. Debemos recordar que, por lo general, los síntomas de alergia aparecen anualmente. Por tanto, si los síntomas le parecen conocidos y los ha sentido con anterioridad, es muy posible que se trate del regreso de sus alergias". Los Centros para el Control y Prevención de Enfermedades de los Estados Unidos (CDC), consideran que el asma es una de las enfermedades crónicas que pudieran incrementar la posibilidad de un caso grave de la COVID-19. A continuación, lo que debe saber si usted o un familiar padecen de asma: Los virus respiratorios desencadenan crisis asmáticas Los virus respiratorios son el desencadenante más común de crisis asmática, el grave empeoramiento del trastorno que requiere generalmente el uso de esteroides por vía oral para aliviar los síntomas. No todos los virus afectan a los asmáticos de igual manera, y algunos como la influenza y el rinovirus son más propensos a provocar crisis asmáticas que los otros. "En estos momentos, no sabemos si la COVID-19 es uno de esos virus que tienden a provocar una crisis asmática", asegura Meadows. El asmático no corre más riesgos de contraer la COVID-19 que los demás En la actualidad, no existe evidencia convincente de que los pacientes con asma corren más riesgos de contraer la COVID-19. Sin embargo, el asma es un trastorno médico subyacente que puede vincularse al empeoramien-

Es probable que esté preocupado por el uso sus corticosteroides intranasales para aliviar las alergias nasales, y los corticosteroides inhalados o la terapia biológica en caso de asma. No existen evidencias de que continuar usando esos medicamentos para el asma y la alergia implique un efecto en el incremento del riesgo de contraer la COVID-19, ni de que, en caso de contagio, provoquen un resultado peor. "Es más importante que nunca tomar medicamentos y controlar los síntomas de asma y alergia, porque los mismos podrían conllevar a un diagnóstico erróneo de la COVID-19 debido a la coincidencia de sintomatología", añade Meadows. Tomar precauciones en caso de contraer la COVID-19 Es importante saber que, si le diagnostican con la COVID-19 (o sospecha que pudiera haberla contraído) y está usando nebulizador en casa, el virus pudiera persistir en núcleos de gotas por el aire durante 1 a 2 horas. Por tanto, debe usar el nebulizador en un sitio que minimice el contacto de esas gotas persistentes con las personas que viven en la casa y no se han contagiado. "Escoja un lugar para su tratamiento donde el aire no recircule hacia el resto de la casa", aconseja Meadows. "Sitios como el porche, patio o garaje, con superficies que se puedan limpiar, más fácilmente son excelentes opciones". Si tiene preguntas, consulte a un alergólogo Los alergólogos recomiendan a las personas con asma que sigan usando los medicamentos para controlar los síntomas. Si usted tiene alguna pregunta sobre sus síntomas o medicamentos actuales, póngase en contacto con su alergólogo. Muchos profesionales están prestando sus servicios por telemedicina, y ofrecen consultas a distancia por teléfono o video. Además, hay numerosas consultas de telemedicina cubiertas por las aseguradoras. "Los alergólogos son especialistas en asma. Ellos pueden responder preguntas, asesorar y reducir las preocupaciones con respecto al asma y las alergias. Usted puede encontrar un alergólogo local en el sitio web acaai.org/ locate-an-allergist", recomienda Meadows. "Si se contagia con la COVID-19, sea precavido y evite los tratamientos experimentales, a menos que sean recomendados específicamente por el médico que le atiende", concluye el experto.

HOW DOES RACISM AFFECT HEALTH? ¿CÓMO AFECTA EL RACISMO A LA SALUD? LOS MÉDICOS DE CALIFORNIA HABLAN CALIFORNIA DOCTORS SPEAK OUT ENGLISH

ESPAÑOL

Claudia Boyd-Barrett California Health Report

nización ha estado al tanto de las desigualdades relacionadas con la raza que afectan la salud de los niños durante años, pero ahora se está moviendo de manera más agresiva para abordar el problema.

t’s not uncommon for Dr. Ilan Shapiro to confront ailments in his child and teen patients that defy a straightforward medical explanation. At his practice at AltaMed Health Services in Los Angeles, the pediatrician has treated children with insomnia, teens whose hair is falling out and kids who have stopped trying in school, despite being academically capable. Often, these children are struggling with depression, anxiety and stress. But there’s also a deeper, less tangible cause, Shapiro said. Racism, whether overt bullying at school, or the less obvious day-to-day toll of social exclusion and economic disadvantage, underpins many of these children’s health issues, Shapiro has found. Experiencing racism can undermine a child’s physical and mental wellbeing from an early age, and increase the risk of lifelong health problems, research shows. “It’s a cumulative effect,” Shapiro said. “Some kids are fine and resilient, but others respond physically to what’s happening … Over the long term you start seeing the kids that have issues with the way they’re managing anger, depression. All those little things start adding up.”

"El racismo es un problema difícil de abordar, es un problema que hace que muchas personas se sientan incómodas,” dijo. Sin embargo, “si queremos lograr nuestra misión de salud para todos los niños, debemos enfrentar el racismo de frente. Existe una evidencia cada vez mayor que muestra que sí, los niños y las familias experimentan racismo, y estas experiencias tienen un impacto negativo en sus resultados de salud.”

larly acute, said Mayra Alvarez, president of The Children’s Partnership, a California-based health advocacy group. She’s heard from schools, clinics and community organizations about increased incidences of race-related bullying. Alvarez said some immigrant families live in fear of taking their children to the park, local events or even the doctor. “That takes a mental toll on children and their wellbeing,” she said.”We know that racism, the environment of fear, of a lack of safety, has translated into increased anxiety in our kids, increased levels of depression.”

Medical providers in California and nationwide are increasingly recognizing that racism and discrimination affect children’s health, and they’re seeking to tackle the problem. Last month, the American Academy of Pediatrics issued its first policy statement on how racism affects the health and development of children and teens. The academy called racism a “socially transmitted disease” with historical origins that continue to affect the circumstances children grow up in, how they’re treated and the opportunities they have today.

Alvarez said California is making progress in addressing health inequities related to racism. She applauded a bill now before the governor that would require all doctors, surgeons and nurses to receive training on how to reduce bias in patient treatment. Gov. Gavin Newsom has appointed a surgeon general, Dr. Nadine Burke Harris, who is an expert on early childhood trauma, including the impact of racism. And the state plans to pay for routine trauma screenings for children and adults enrolled in Medi-Cal starting next year.

African American, Latino and Native American children, for example, are more likely than white children to live in low-income households, lack access to quality education and be involved in the juvenile justice system. On top of this, racism and unconscious bias can lead people such as health care providers, teachers or law officers to treat minority children differently than white children. In turn, children may internalize biased attitudes, leading to negative, self-limiting beliefs about themselves and others, the academy said.

But more can be done, Alvarez and Johnson said. At the clinic level, doctors must make sure their practices are welcoming to people of different cultures and ethnicities, Johnson said. Educators and law enforcement officers, as well as health care providers, should receive anti-bias training, she added. More broadly, the state needs laws that tackle structural racism by supporting fair housing and reducing criminalization of youth, for example, Johnson said.

Dr. Tiffani Johnson, a pediatric emergency physician at UC Davis Health and member of an American Academy of Pediatrics committee on health equity, said the organization has been aware of race-related inequalities affecting children’s health for years, but is now moving more aggressively to address the problem. “Racism is an issue that is difficult to take on, it’s an issue that makes a lot of people feel uncomfortable,” she said. However, “If we want to achieve our mission of health for all children, we need to tackle racism head on. There’s just such a growing body of evidence showing that, yes, children and families experience racism, and these experiences have a negative impact on their health outcomes.” Current anti-immigrant policies and political rhetoric have made the need to address the health impacts of racism on children particu-

Alvarez agreed that tackling racism requires a multi-pronged approach. Given the political environment, providers especially must make sure they’re aware of how immigration policies are affecting people’s health, she said. And communities need to do more to connect vulnerable families with legal aid and health services that can help reduce their anxiety, she added. For Shapiro, helping children and their parents cope with racism can start with naming the problem. Talking about racism helps children better understand the issue and how it affects them. Then they can come up with strategies to deal with it, he said. “It makes everybody happier, because at least you’re acknowledging that there’s something there,” Shapiro said. “It’s important to understand that (racism) is not going to go away, and we need to be prepared to talk about it with our kids, with our families … We can help them improve their resiliency.”

o es raro que el Dr. Ilan Shapiro confronte dolencias en sus pacientes infantiles y adolescentes que desafían una explicación médica directa. En su práctica en AltaMed Health Services en Los Ángeles, el pediatra ha tratado a niños con insomnio, adolescentes cuyo cabello se está cayendo y niños que han dejado de intentarlo en la escuela, a pesar de ser académicamente capaces. A menudo, estos niños luchan con la depresión, la ansiedad y el estrés. Pero también hay una causa más profunda y menos tangible, dijo Shapiro. Shapiro descubrió que el racismo, ya sea la intimidación manifiesta en la escuela o el número menos evidente de exclusión social y desventaja económica en el día a día, es la base de muchos de los problemas de salud de estos niños. Experimentar el racismo puede minar el bienestar físico y mental de un niño desde una edad temprana y aumentar el riesgo de problemas de salud para toda la vida, según la investigación. "Es un efecto acumulativo,” dijo Shapiro. "Algunos niños son buenos y resistentes, pero otros responden físicamente a lo que está sucediendo ... A largo plazo, comienzas a ver a los niños que tienen problemas con la forma en que manejan la ira y la depresión. Todas esas pequeñas cosas comienzan a sumarse.” Los proveedores de servicios médicos en California y en todo el país reconocen cada vez más que el racismo y la discriminación afectan la salud de los niños, y están tratando de abordar el problema. El mes pasado, la Academia Estadounidense de Pediatría emitió su primera declaración de política sobre cómo el racismo afecta la salud y el desarrollo de niños y adolescentes. La academia calificó el racismo como una "enfermedad de transmisión social" con orígenes históricos que continúan afectando las circunstancias en que crecen los niños, cómo son tratados y las oportunidades que tienen hoy. Los niños afroamericanos, latinos y nativos americanos, por ejemplo, tienen más probabilidades que los niños blancos de vivir en hogares de bajos ingresos, no tienen acceso a una educación de calidad y se involucran en el sistema de justicia juvenil. Además de esto, el racismo y el prejuicio inconsciente pueden llevar a las personas, como los proveedores de atención médica, los maestros o los funcionarios legales a tratar a los niños de minorías de manera diferente a los niños blancos. A su vez, los niños pueden internalizar actitudes sesgadas, lo que lleva a creencias negativas y autolimitadas sobre sí mismos y los demás, dijo la academia. El Dr. Tiffani Johnson, médico de pediátricas en UC Davis Health y comité de equidad de salud de Estadounidense de Pediatría, dijo

emergencias miembro del la Academia que la orga-

Las políticas y la retórica política antiinmigrantes actuales han hecho que la necesidad de abordar los impactos del racismo en la salud de los niños sea particularmente aguda, dijo Mayra Álvarez, presidenta de The Children’s Partnership, un grupo de defensa de la salud con sede en California. Ella ha escuchado de escuelas, clínicas y organizaciones comunitarias sobre el aumento de la incidencia de la intimidación relacionada con la raza. Álvarez dijo que algunas familias inmigrantes viven con el temor de llevar a sus hijos al parque, eventos locales o incluso al médico. "Eso tiene un costo mental para los niños y su bienestar,” dijo. "Sabemos que el racismo, el ambiente de miedo, la falta de seguridad se ha traducido en una mayor ansiedad en nuestros hijos, mayores niveles de depresión.” Álvarez dijo que California está haciendo progresos para abordar las inequidades en salud relacionadas con el racismo. Aplaudió un proyecto de ley ahora ante el gobernador que requeriría que todos los médicos, cirujanos y enfermeras reciban capacitación sobre cómo reducir el sesgo en el tratamiento del paciente. El gobernador Gavin Newsom nombró a un cirujano general, la Dra. Nadine Burke Harris, experta en trauma de la primera infancia, incluido el impacto del racismo. Y el estado planea pagar los exámenes de detección de trauma de rutina para niños y adultos inscritos en Medi-Cal a partir del próximo año. Pero se puede hacer más, dijeron Álvarez y Johnson. A nivel clínico, los médicos deben asegurarse de que sus prácticas sean acogedoras para personas de diferentes culturas y etnias, dijo Johnson. Los educadores y los funcionarios encargados de hacer cumplir la ley, así como los proveedores de atención médica, deben recibir capacitación contra el prejuicio, agregó. En términos más generales, el estado necesita leyes que aborden el racismo estructural apoyando la vivienda justa y reduciendo la criminalización de la juventud, por ejemplo, dijo Johnson. Álvarez estuvo de acuerdo en que combatir el racismo requiere un enfoque múltiple. Dado el entorno político, los proveedores deben asegurarse especialmente de estar conscientes de cómo las políticas de inmigración están afectando la salud de las personas, dijo. Y las comunidades necesitan hacer más para conectar a las familias vulnerables con asistencia legal y servicios de salud que pueden ayudar a reducir su ansiedad, agregó. Para Shapiro, ayudar a los niños y a sus padres a enfrentar el racismo puede comenzar por nombrar el problema. Hablar sobre el racismo ayuda a los niños a comprender mejor el problema y cómo les afecta. Entonces pueden idear estrategias para lidiar con eso, dijo. "Hace a todos más felices, porque al menos estás reconociendo que hay algo allí,” dijo Shapiro. "Es importante entender que (el racismo) no va a desaparecer, y necesitamos estar preparados para hablar de ello con nuestros hijos, con nuestras familias ... Podemos ayudarlos a mejorar su capacidad de recuperación.”

LAS IMPACTANTES PROFECÍAS DEL PASTOR DE JAPÓN

Mario Jiménez Castillo El Observador

ace unas semanas, exactamente el día dos de mayo, tuve la oportunidad de platicar con Ricardo Salazar, Pastor de “Iglesia Global House". Ricardo es un Pastor de origen peruano, que vivió por más de dos décadas en Japón y fue allí donde inició su ministerio y su canal en YouTube, en el cual ha venido anunciando profecías desde ya hace varios años. La verdad, estoy sorprendido de la certeza con la que han ocurrido los acontecimientos que ha predicho, y que hoy nos embargan de pesar y llenan de dolor al mundo entero. Ese día antes de finalizar la entrevista, el Pastor me comentó “que un evento muy desafortunado ocurriría en Estados Unidos durante el mes de mayo" y añadió que el gobierno impondría el toque de queda en casi todo el país. Predijo los saqueos, la violencia y todos los hechos terribles que han ocurrido durante los últimos días. El Pastor Salazar ha venido hablando de estas profecías a lo largo de los últimos años. Al principio mucha gente le criticaba y le lanzaban toda clase de insultos. Le llamaron loco, demente y desquiciado. En aquel entonces nadie quizá imaginaba el desastre que ocurriría en este año 2020. En su canal de YouTube hay centenares de videos proféticos y enseñanzas cristianas, él me relató que desde hace muchos años, ha venido recibiendo mensajes celestiales y visiones de los hechos que están ocurriendo y que están por ocurrir en nuestro planeta. Entre las profecías más alarmantes de las que me habló, predice el choque de rocas del espacio con la Tierra, serán dos cometas los que llegarán; uno de ellos pasará muy cerca que es de tamaño más pequeño o si llegara a impactar no le haría tanto daño al planeta, el otro de tamaño más grande, si chocará con nuestro mundo en el Caribe y, nos hará mucho daño. Habló también de un conflicto armado que ocurrirá tras la posible invasión de Estados Unidos a Venezuela. Dicho conflicto podría enfrentar a la nación norteamericana con Rusia y China principalmente, a los cuales también se les uniría Irán, quienes son países que saldrán en defensa de Venezuela; este hecho puede provocar el inicio de la tercera guerra mundial, guerra en la que Estados Unidos no saldría vencedor. Además me platicó acerca de un potente terremoto que pudiera ocurrir en el área de Los Ángeles, pues él vio como se venía abajo esa ciudad, la costa oeste de USA sería muy afectada, situación que comprometerá del mismo modo a México, aunque con menor intensidad. También habló sobre el cierre de fronteras mexicanas, tras la debacle estadounidense, vio múltiples disparos para evitar que los ciudadanos americanos ingresen ilegalmente al sureño país, principalmente por

San Diego. Salazar también habló sobre la caída económica mundial en diciembre de 2018 y recientemente dijo a finales de 2019 que ocurrirá el cambio de moneda física a la moneda digital. El Pastor Salazar, vaticinó la aparición del virus el 19 de noviembre de 2019 y lo confirmó el 9 de diciembre en donde dijo que una pandemia llegaría al mundo entero, mucho antes de que se diera el primer caso de contagio en Wuhan. Habló de eso en su canal a finales del 2019. "Afirma al mismo tiempo, que otro virus está por aparecer y que la vida normal que conocíamos antes, solo será un recuerdo de lo que fue el mundo, porque nunca más se volverá a recuperar la antigua sociedad que hoy está cambiando para siempre. El agua será envenenada pasando la mitad de año (2020) y este otro virus, será esparcido por obra de la elite oscura, muy pronto aparecerá el Anticristo y la Marca de la Bestia, la cual será impuesta a millones de personas alrededor del mundo. Además señaló que conoceremos a los “hermanos mayores”, una raza de seres no humanos que pronto se mostrarán al mundo para señalar entre otras cosas que ellos son los dueños del planeta y que nosotros hemos sido simplemente “los invitados”, señaló el Pastor. Muy impactantes son estas predicciones, pero no tienen nada de extraño pues en el libro de Revelaciones o Apocalipsis de la Biblia, se habla de muchos desastres que ocurrirán antes de la segunda venida de Jesucristo. Parece ser como lo dice el Pastor de Japón, que estamos ya entrando y viviendo en la gran tribulación de la cual se habla en las sagradas escrituras. En la nota positiva, nos dijo que en sus visiones observó que después de la catástrofe que está por ocurrir, Estados Unidos abrirá las puertas a los inmigrantes hispanos, porque ellos colaborarán grandemente con la reconstrucción de este país. “Dios quiere que despertemos del largo letargo y abandono espiritual en el que vivimos, debemos ser mejores seres humanos. Existe mucha avaricia, violencia y maldad en el mundo, y esto definitivamente va a cambiar por el bien del planeta y por el bien mismo de la humanidad, recalcó el Pastor Ricardo Salazar" Que la luz de Dios se haga presente en nuestras vidas, sólo Él, puede rescatarnos del caos y de la incertidumbre en la que vivimos actualmente. Y sólo Él, sabe el día y la hora de lo que se conoce como día del juicio final. Las profecías, mensajes y enseñanzas del Pastor Salazar, las pueden encontrar en YouTube, buscando “Iglesia Global”.

Suzanne Potter California News Service

ACRAMENTO, California - Grupos de conservación latinos dicen que combatir la pandemia va de la mano con la lucha contra el cambio climático, porque la mala calidad del aire exacerbada por el cambio climático hace que las personas sean más vulnerables a COVID-19. Juanita Mora, CEO del Chicago Allergy Center, dijo que las comunidades latinas se ven desproporcionadamente afectadas por la pandemia y la mala calidad del aire.

"Cuando se habla de la importancia de las tierras públicas, los latinos no solo están hablando del acceso. También estamos hablando de cómo se relacionan con la salud, el patrimonio cultural, la historia, el empleo y la economía", dijo Cabello. Cabello está pidiendo al Senado que tome el paquete de tierras públicas aprobado por la Cámara de los Estados Unidos, que preservaría cientos de miles de acres como parte de la Ley de Protección del Patrimonio de la Costa Central de California.

Suzanne Potter California News Service

ACRAMENTO, Calif. -- Latino conservation groups say battling the pandemic goes hand in hand with fighting climate change, because poor air quality exacerbated by climate change makes people more vulnerable to COVID-19. Juanita Mora, CEO of the Chicago Allergy Center, said Latino communities are disproportion-

"Hasta el 20 de mayo, más del 60% de las muertes reportadas por COVID-19 fueron de la comunidad hispana o latina", dijo Mora. "Los latinos en este país enfrentan numerosos riesgos para la salud asociados con la contaminación del aire y el cambio climático, lo que empeora la calidad del aire".

"Financiaría total y permanentemente el Fondo de Conservación de la Tierra y el Agua, que llega a los parques de todos los condados de los Estados Unidos y aparentemente proporciona $ 4 en beneficios por cada dólar que se invierte en él", dijo Edberg. Michelle Burroughs, subdirectora del Centro para Comunidades Saludables de la Facultad de Medicina de UC Riverside, dijo que aumentar el acceso a espacios verdes ofrecería importantes beneficios de salud a las comunidades de bajos ingresos. "Muchas de las comunidades de color viven justo al lado de áreas industriales o cerca del intercambio de autopistas", dijo Burroughs, "y por eso han aumentado la exposición a la contaminación nociva". Hispanic Access Foundation ha creado un extenso juego de herramientas del Congreso disponible en su sitio web para ayudar a los defensores y legisladores a comprender mejor el papel de la comunidad latina en la promoción de la conservación. Graciela Cabello, directora de participación juvenil y comunitaria en Los Padres ForestWatch en Santa Bárbara, dijo que los problemas son multifacéticos.

"As of May 20, over 60% of the reported COVID-19 deaths were from the Hispanic or Latino community," Mora said. "Latinos across this country face numerous health risks associated with air pollution and climate change, which is making air quality worse." Advocates are calling on Congress to pass the Great American Outdoors Act. Shanna Edberg, director of conservation programs at the Hispanic Access Foundation, said the bill would fund thousands of conservation projects across the country, creating jobs to limit the economic fallout from COVID-19. "It would fully and permanently fund the Land and Water Conservation Fund, which reaches parks in every county in the U.S. and apparently provides $4 in benefits to every dollar that is invested in it," Edberg said.

Los defensores piden al Congreso que apruebe la Ley Great American Outdoors. Shanna Edberg, directora de programas de conservación de la Fundación Hispanic Access, dijo que el proyecto de ley financiaría miles de proyectos de conservación en todo el país, creando empleos para limitar las consecuencias económicas de COVID-19.

Michelle Burroughs, deputy director of the Center for Healthy Communities at UC Riverside School of Medicine, said increasing access to green space would offer significant health benefits to low-income communities. "A lot of the communities of color live right next to either industrial areas or close to the freeways interchange," Burroughs said, "And so they have increased exposure to harmful pollution." The Hispanic Access Foundation has created an extensive Congressional Toolkit available on its website to help advocates and lawmakers better understand the role of the Latino community in promoting conservation. Graciela Cabello, director of youth and community engagement at Los Padres ForestWatch in Santa Barbara, said the issues are multi-faceted. "When you talk about the importance of public lands, Latinos are not just talking about access. We're also talking about how they relate to health, cultural heritage, history, jobs and the economy," Cabello said. Cabello is calling on the Senate to take up the public lands package passed by the U.S. House, which would preserve hundreds of thousands of acres as part of the California Central Coast Heritage Protection Act.

JUSTICE ADVOCATES EXPRESS RELIEF OVER NEW CHARGES IN FLOYD CASE

The police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis has resulted in global protests over the treatment of African-Americans by police. Photo Credit: Unsplash

ENGLISH

Mike Moen Public News Service

INNEAPOLIS -- All four former Minneapolis police officers involved in the death of George Floyd now face criminal charges. Justice advocates say they have mixed feelings about the latest developments in the case. The office of Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison is now overseeing the investigation. Ellison says Derek Chauvin, the white officer caught on video kneeling on Floyd's neck for several minutes, is now charged with second-degree murder. And the other three officers involved have been charged as well. Michelle Gross, director of Communities United Against Police Brutality, calls it a first step in establishing systemic changes in honor of Floyd and all the other black individuals victimized by authorities. "We have so many changes that need to be made and people have cried out for these changes for so long, only to be ignored," she states. "So now the next step has to be, you know, sitting down, figuring out what it is that we need to do to bring about the changes so that something like this never, ever happens again." Gross and other advocates say they're not convinced the state's civil rights investigation of the Minneapolis Police Department will result in anything substantial. The Department of Human Rights insists its probe will be thorough in examining mistreatment of black residents by police. Derek Chauvin was initially charged with third degree murder and manslaughter

before the new charges were announced. The other three officers are charged with aiding and abetting a murder. Their union leader said he will fight for their jobs, while blaming city and police leaders for the protests and chaos that erupted in Minneapolis following the incident. Jaylani Hussein is executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations - Minnesota, part of a broad coalition of groups demanding justice for Floyd's death. He agrees that there's mixed emotion in the air following Wednesday's announcement. "It's generally a relief at this moment, but we are we are not going to be satisfied until the system that killed George Floyd is also transformed," he stresses. Hussein, along with Floyd's family, say they want Chauvin charged with first-degree murder. But Gross says that could complicate matters by requiring the involvement of a grand jury and hindering any hopes of securing a conviction.

EW YORK -- A federal lawsuit claims many people with disabilities are being excluded from New York state's expanded absentee ballot program. To help keep voters safe during the COVID-19 pandemic, New York is allowing anyone to apply for an absentee ballot that can be mailed in rather than going to the polls. But many people with visual or physical disabilities such as paralysis, dystonia and tremors cannot independently and privately mark a paper ballot. According to Susan Dooha, executive director of the Center for Independence of the Disabled New York, New York already has an alternative system that could work.

"What better way to celebrate than to enfranchise New Yorkers with disabilities?" The court filing is online at dropbox.com. Disclosure: Center for Independence of the Disabled New York contributes to our fund for reporting on Disabilities.

"People in the armed services and Americans overseas already can vote by an email ballot that is sent to them," she said. The lawsuit, filed in the Southern District of New York, seeks reforms to voting practices in time for the June 23 primary election.

ew York, NY - Una coalición de grupos pro-derechos de las personas discapacitadas presentaron una demanda federal contra la Mesa Estatal Electoral de New York (New York State Board of Elections) por excluir a las personas con discapacidades del programa ampliado de voto de los ausentes. Comenta Susan Dooha (DOO-ah), directora ejecutiva del Centro por la Independencia de los Discapacitados New York ("Center for Independence of the Disabled New York"). Una demanda federal establece que mucha gente con discapacidades está siendo excluida del programa electoral ampliado para personas ausentes, del Estado de Nueva York. Para ayudar a conservar la seguridad de los votantes durante la pandemia de COVID-19, New York está permitiendo que quien sea que solicite una boleta para votar en ausencia pueda recibirla por correo, en vez de acudir a las urnas. Pero muchas personas con discapacidades físicas o visuales, como parálisis, disponía o temblores no pueden marcar su voto en secreto. Según Susan Dooha, quien encabeza el Centro por la Independencia de las Personas Discapacitadas en Nueva York, Nueva York ( Center for Independence of the Disabled New York, New York) ya tienen un sistema alterno que podría funcionar.

Dooha noted that at least six other states have online absentee voting procedures that work for people who are blind or have low vision, or who cannot use their hands to fill in a paper ballot. "We believe that is easily within reach," she said. "Maryland has offered us their solution, as it has to other states."

"La gente del servicio armado y la estadounidense de otros continentes ya pueden votar con una boleta que se les manda por "e-mail'"."

Other states that already have online absentee voting include Colorado, New Mexico, Ohio, Oregon and West Virginia. Dooha pointed out that accessible voting has been an issue in New York for

LOS OBISPOS EPISCOPALES DE NUEVA INGLATERRA DENUNCIAN A LA SESIÓN DE FOTOS DE IGLESIA DE TRUMP

NEW ENGLAND EPISCOPAL BISHOPS DENOUNCE TRUMP CHURCH 'PHOTO OP'

ESPAÑOL

ENGLISH

Laura Rosbrow-Telem Public News Service

Bishop Rob Hirschfeld of the New Hampshire Episcopal Church, who drafted the statement, said he feels the church was trespassed upon.

ONCORD, N.H. - Los obispos episcopales de Nueva Inglaterra unánimemente llaman el lunes la aparición del presidente Donald Trump frente a la Iglesia Episcopal de San Juan en Washington, D.C., como "vergonzosa y moralmente repugnante".

"The blatant use of religious symbols merely to exploit the backdrop and the symbols of our faith -- a Bible, a religious setting -- in order to say, 'I have the church behind me,' and he certainly does not have the Episcopal Church behind him in this," Hirschfeld said.

En un movimiento sin precedentes, publicaron una declaración el martes, también condenando el uso de la fuerza de la ley y gases lacrimógenos para abrir un camino para el presidente a través de manifestantes pacíficos. La exhibición de Trump de la Biblia frente a la iglesia, sin citar las Escrituras, también los molestó. El obispo Rob Hirschfeld de la Iglesia Episcopal de New Hampshire, quien redactó la declaración, dijo que siente que la iglesia fue invadida. "El uso descarado de símbolos religiosos simplemente para explotar el telón de fondo y los símbolos de nuestra fe - una Biblia, un entorno religioso - para decir, 'Tengo la iglesia detrás de mí', y ciertamente no tiene el Episcopal Iglesia detrás de él en esto ", dijo Hirschfeld. Hirschfeld enfatizó que la Iglesia Episcopal tiene congregantes de todos los orígenes políticos. Describió a los líderes de la iglesia en Nueva Inglaterra y en todo el país como "unidos" al objetar la oportunidad de tomar fotos presidenciales en St. John's. Los obispos de Nueva Inglaterra escribieron que la verdadera injusticia es la continua opresión y violencia contra las personas de color

Hirschfeld stressed that the Episcopal Church has congregants from all political backgrounds. He described church leaders in New England and around the country as "united" in objecting to the presidential photo opportunity at St. John's.

La protesta fue en respuesta al asesinato policial de George Floyd, un hombre negro de 46 años, por un oficial de policía blanco en Minneapolis. El obispo Thomas Brown de la Iglesia Episcopal de Maine se hizo eco de la necesidad de curación. "La verdadera preocupación aquí es abordar la desigualdad y el dolor que la gente en todo este país ha estado tratando de decir y ha querido que abordemos", dijo. "Entonces, nosotros, los blancos, los que tenemos autoridad y privilegio, necesitamos estar escuchando, y necesitamos unir a las personas".

Laura Rosbrow-Telem Public News Service

ONCORD, N.H. -- New England's Episcopal bishops unanimously are calling out President Donald Trump's appearance in front of St. John's Episcopal Church in Washington, D.C., on Monday as "disgraceful and morally repugnant." In an unprecedented move, they released a statement on Tuesday, also condemning law enforcement use of force and tear gas to clear a path for the president through peaceful demonstrators. Trump's display of the Bible in front of the church, without quoting Scripture, also disturbed them.

New England bishops wrote that the real injustice is the continued oppression of and violence against people of color in the United States. The protest was in response to the police killing of George Floyd, a 46-year-old black man, by a white police officer in Minneapolis. Bishop Thomas Brown of the Maine Episcopal Church echoed the need for healing. "The real concern here is addressing the inequality and the pain that people throughout this land have been trying to say and have been wanting us to address," he said. "So, we who are white, we who have authority and privilege -- we need to be listening, and we need to be bringing people together." The Episcopal bishops of New Hampshire, Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Vermont signed the letter. More information is online at episcopalnewsservice.org.
