NEW YORK - The world Jewish community including the Vilnius Jewish community has responded with shock, anger and horror at the Lithuanian government’s decision to develop a conference center on the grounds of a 500-year old cemetery. The Jewish cemetery located in Piramont (Shnipishok), Vilnius, Lithuania is the same cemetery where the famous Torah scholar, the ‘Vilna Gaon’ was buried. 

In 2005, the country as a newly established sovereign state authorized the desecration of a 500-year old Jewish cemetery (Piramont in Shnipishok) in Vilnius, where two apartment blocks were constructed on the site. 

In 2008, the U.S House of Representatives passed a resolution condemning the Republic of Lithuania’s government for the desecration and human rights violation.

Despite world outrage at Lithuania’s antisemitic action, Lithuanian officials recently announced approval of their plan to develop an International Conference Center on the 500-year old Piramont cemetery, where the famous Torah scholar, the ‘Vilna Gaon’ was buried.

Rabbi Elchonon Baron, a leading Jewish activist who is involved in a number of causes, expressed dismay at the Lithuanian government’s decision. “The government has reneged on previous undertakings with us that it would not proceed with the development. We feel betrayed and badly let down,” Rabbi Baron stated.

Independent media reports indicate that there is concern the Lithuanian government and Turto Bankas, conducted illegal monetary transactions to secure the support of a rogue Jewish interest group who could rubber stamp their conference development plan, so that it could receive automatic approval. An official investigation by the STT, (the Special Investigations division dedicated to prosecute corruption), into the alleged illegal transactions could not be confirmed.

The full extent of the Lithuanian government’s desecration of the old cemetery in Vilnius can be viewed is a short YouTube video.

The latest antisemetic action, which is considered a consequence of systemic racism and antisemitism in the Lithuanian government, places Lithuania’s membership with NATO in jeopardy. Additionally, relief funding earmarked for the coronavirus fallout from the EU, is expected to come under reconsideration.

Following the death of George Floyd, nation-wide protests have emerged, alongside a serious acceptance of the fact that Black Lives Matter. Many organizations that once shied away from the topic, on account of it being too ‘political’, have entered the limelight, giving their two cents on the matter.

In their effort to show solidarity to the struggles of black people, a multitude of organizations have been actively rectifying actions that are deemed as problematic. Certain big oil companies have also shared their stance on the matter. Among them is Marathon Oil – who has recently terminated their partnership with Balch and Bingham.

The law firm Balch and Bingham was previously their DC lobbying partner, however, taking into account the many allegations against the law firm, Marathon Oil believes that the partnership should be ceased. The law firm has been accused of many cases of alleged racist misconduct and alleged tokenism in their hiring practices before.

With various online blogs like BanBalch.com actively reporting issues relating to the law firm’s alleged racist misconduct, the decision by Marathon Oil to cease their partnership is being seen as a positive one by many.

Solidarity towards the Black Lives Matter movement is being shown by an array of big oil companies. Among them is Chevron, whose CEO, Mike Wirth shared some of his thoughts on issues like systemic racism that prevail in America.  Mike stated, “I share the anger and pain felt by so many Americans at the recent killings of unarmed black men and women. Racism and brutality have no place in America. Yet these incidents still occur. And they impact people well beyond those directly affected by such tragedies. Including people at our company. I absolutely believe we are stronger when we embrace our differences, and now is an important time to do just that.”

About BanBalch.com:

BanBalch.com is an online blog that covers various unsettling controversies surrounding Balch & Bingham.

The advocacy group originally called for the Trump Administration and Congressional Leadership to ban Balch & Bingham. They now, want Balch clients to suspend their relationship with the embattled firm.

MEMPHIS, TN. August 3, 2020 – There is a saying that whatever is posted online will stay there forever. The adage implies that negative information published online will always be easily found. But that’s not so says Wesley Upchurch, owner of SearchResults.repair. His company, which launched quietly a few months ago has already helped dozens of clients remove their criminal history from Google’s top results, even for searches of their individual names.

Wesley Upchurch has helped dozens of clients improve their online reputation. But his company goes beyond reputation repair. In fact, it actually deletes criminal records from online databases, including many of the background check services that employers and landlords rely on. After significant testing and refining of the process, his team is excited to finally offer this service to the public. SearchResults.repair is now live and it’s making bold promises.

“We are confident that we can remove almost any negative result from Google’s first page,” Upchurch says, “if we can’t help you, we’ll let you know. But in most cases, we are able to push bad press down.” This is important because most people that search you on Google never look past the first page.  When potential employers, customers, or even dates look you up they aren’t likely dig much further, but even if they do it won’t matter. After just a few weeks, his clients often find that the articles which used to linger in the first few results are often buried more than three pages deep.

Someone looking to dig up dirt on their clients would have to dig pretty deep. And before they find something negative they will have to dig through page after page of positive information. This is what SearchResults.repair means by reputation repair. They don’t just hide the negative information, but actually replace it with positive content. A number of former criminals have used his service to get a fresh start at life. Without this kind of help, a convict’s information could continue to haunt them forever.

Although there has been some criticism that this information should be public, Wesley Upchurch is a man on a mission. He says, “The ongoing publication of criminal records actually leads to higher recidivism rates by making it harder for people with prior criminal history to gain lawful employment. If one can’t find lawful work, he’ll have no choice but to return to unlawful means of providing for himself.” Besides, he says people who have served their time and paid their debt to society should not continue to have their past used against them.

About SearchResults.repair

SearchResults.repair is an online reputation management company. It was founded by Wesley Upchurch, an internet marketing professional who understands how much impact negative online media has on the lives of regular people who, like himself, once faced criminal charges. In many cases, these news stories contain inaccurate information or are otherwise unnecessarily defamatory. SearchResults.repair was founded with the idea that no man should be defined by his past.

Every now and then persons trying to make up their minds where to put their money ask me if real estate ventures are more or less profitable, compared to other businesses opportunities around.

My response is always that apart from its potential for yielding significant profits, investing in real estate often confers long terms benefits.

I discuss five such advantages below:

1. You Can Refurbish (to Enhance the Value of) Real Estate

After you buy a stock, you hold it for a period of time and hopefully sell it for a profit. The success of the stock depends on company management and their corporate success, which is out of your control.

Unlike other conventional investment instruments, like stocks, for instance, whose rate of returns, depend on third parties (e.g. company management), real estate investments are directly under your control.

Even though you will not be able to control changes that may occur in demographic and economic aspects, or impact of nature induced changes, there are many other aspects that you can control, to boost the returns on your investment in it.

Examples include aspects relating to adding repairs, or improvements/enhancements to the physical property and tenants you allow to live in it.

If you do it right, the value of your investment will grow, resulting in increased wealth for you.

2. Real Estate Investing, When Done Right, is Proven to be Profitable Even During a Recession (like the one we're in right now)

It has on several occasions, been used to effect a bail out, from financial setbacks, such as those that many have experienced during the economic downturn happening in Nigeria today.

A considerable number of clients have confided in me that due to the present economic situation, they are not sure of profitable channels to invest their money. Some of them are done with bonds and treasury bills, but are in dire need of a new investment.

We had extensive discussions, and based on my expertise as a real estate consultant, I recommended landed property investment, as the most suitable and secure alternative channel of investment.

Not surprisingly, the client chose to take my advice - and signed up: it was the obvious, common sense thing to do!

3. Real Estate Investments Are Immune to Inflation

In other words, investing your money in ownership of viable real estate can protect you from the harsh effects that inflation usually has on other conventional investments.

This is because the value of real estate generally tends to rise in positive correlation with inflationary pressures. This is why property values and rental rates go up with rising inflation.

The nature of real estate, therefore affords owners the unique advantage of being able to adjust the rates they offer, to match inflation.

Monthly rents for example can be raised to compensate for inflation - thus providing a cushion effect against inflation induced losses that other monetary investments suffer.

4. Real Estate is Uniquely for Being Universally Acceptable as Collateral, Towards Securing Funding from Banks

Today, real estate in form of either building or lands, with proper titles (i.e. Certificate of Occupancy - aka "C of O") is the most recognized and accepted form of collateral in Nigeria - and some other parts of the world.

It has the unique feature of being able to protect the interests of both the borrower and the bank (that's doing the lending), so that funds can be released i.e. after due verification, and terms and conditions are agreed.

This is one of the key advantages a private C of O has over the global C of O, because the former (i.e. private C of O) is what will be needed by the intending borrower, in the event of any future financial dealings with bank in Nigeria.

5. Real Estate Investing Allows Use of Other People's Money

In other words, you can do it even if you do not have enough money. You just need to know how.

This is possible because real estate is physical property or what is called a hard asset. That is an attribute that makes it attractive to financiers i.e. people with money to invest.

This is why many times real estate products are bought with debt - unlike conventional investment products like stocks which are NOT tangible, and therefore perceived as being more risky to invest in.

So real estate investment can be done using cash or mortgage financing. In the latter case, payments can be so arranged to allow payment of low initial sums, provided by you or a willing third party.

Those payments will be happening on landed property which will continue increasing in value throughout the duration of such payments - and indeed beyond. That further inspires confidence in the minds of those financing the acquisition, that their investment is safe.
