Cripes, I really think we've stumbled upon another piece of the puzzle. I'm dipping in and out of work at the moment to do this. Don't have time to to a proper write up. Hope you won't mind me dumping info here..

Apparently Nygard got into trouble in St Kitts with his stem cell project...

June 2016:

St Kitts govt denies unauthorised stem cell project

Minister of State with responsibility healthcare, Wendy Phipps has denied that a stem cell research project is being undertaken at a hospital in St Kitts and Nevis and that the country’s chief medical officer (CMO) was forced into retirement last week because he spoke out about it.

“I wish to state categorically that neither the Ministry of Health nor the JNF General Hospital is engaged in any stem cell project,” she said in a statement in which she dispelled the claim of former CMO Dr Patrick Martin that the stem cell research was being done at the Joseph N. France (JNF) General Hospital without approval.

“The private sector partners of the project include the St Kitts Marriott (Royal Plastics Group); St Kitts Biomedical Research Foundation, in an advisory capacity; Canadian businessman, Mr Kevin Klein; and two other investors, including a Brazilian medical group.”

As for Dr Martin’s allegation that a non-resident medical doctor was performing the alleged stem cell research, despite not having a licence to practice in St. Kitts and Nevis, Phipps said the Brazilian expert who is attached to the project, Dr Silvia Lagrotta, does not and has never administered any therapies to any patients in St Kitts and Nevis.

“Her presence thus far has been strictly limited to observing the process as a representative of the investor group’s Brazilian partner,” the minister said...

Brazilian doctor you say?

There is definitely something going on with the food and restaurant business that ties in with the private car hire companies and the new apps that are being developed...Samuelsson is an advisor to The Institute of Culinary Education in New York City.

In the fall of 2012, Samuelsson, together with Clarion Hotels, launched a restaurant concept called Kitchen & Table. The concept's first restaurant opened at Clarion Hotel Arlanda Airport[13] and during 2013 and 2014 it will take place at all Clarion Hotels in Sweden and Norway... In 2015, Marcus partnered with the Hamilton Princess & Beach Club to open the restaurant Marcus' in the Bermuda hotel.[16] The restaurant re-opened with a new menu and decor in March 2017.[17] In late 2016, Samuelsson opened Marcus at MGM National Harbor in Oxon Hill, Md. [All of those hotels need looking into.]

Samuelsson serves on the board at City Harvest and serves as co-chair of the board of directors for Careers Through Culinary Arts Program (C-CAP).[35] He also has been a UNICEF ambassador since 2000, and is the co-founder, along with his wife Gate, of the Three Goats Organization.

Samuelsson was selected as a guest chef at the White House under the Obama Administration, where he planned/executed the administration’s first state dinner honoring Prime Minister Singh of India. He has several philanthropic projects and serves as a UNICEF Ambassador, a member of the U.S. State Dept’s Chef Corps and as the co-chairman for the organization Careers Through Culinary Arts Program, which works with public schools across the country to prepare underserved high school students for college and career opportunities in the restaurant and hospitality industry. This chef sounds like Chef Andre. The chef with the creepy restaurant pics and connections to Hillary.

Oprah seems to be involved in all the underworld's baby making factories: Epstein, John of God and Peter Nygard. Nygard's sweat shop factories in places like Thailand and Cambodia have terrible reputations for how the women workers are treated.

Also, I don't know if this is anything and I have no time to look further but..Peter Nygard has a son Kai Bickle Nygard. The very first person he followed on Twitter was Ashton Kutcher. Remember that time Kutcher was caught coming out of a Thai massage parlour in LA.? Possible trafficking? See this voat post : Ashton Kutcher, a Thai Massage Parlour, Studio City in North Hollywood, military connections, an Indian orphanage and the Clinton Global Initiative : 6 degrees by cantsleepawink.

Nygard's female employees in these countries also tend to 'disappear'.

Stem cell research and treatment facility to be established in St Kitts

March 2015:

BASSETERRE, St Kitts (WINN) -- Plans are in the works to establish a stem cell research and treatment center in St Kitts in the near future. The plans were make public at a press conference organized by the St Kitts biomedical Research Foundation following the Foundation’s Strategy Conference on Reverse Aging Treatments in the presence of several international scientists and stem cell research experts.

The plan is to have established at Christophe Harbor, a luxury health and wellness spa to deliver stem cell treatments to reverse the failure of the body’s own stem cells to replace critical cell populations and its contribution to aging.

A group of investors in this initiative is led by Peter Nygard, chairman of Nygard International. He explained the importance of stem cell treatment and its economic potentials.

Report: Yale professor Eugene Redmond sexually assaulted 5 students on St. Kitts

August 2019

A Yale Medical School professor sexually assaulted five students at a research facility he operated on the island of St. Kitts, beginning in 1994, and Yale University’s policies and procedures failed to stop the abuse, according to an investigation commissioned by the university.

Dr. D. Eugene Redmond Jr., who retired in 2018 when he learned that he was being investigated, had been a member of Yale’s faculty since 1974. He claimed that he had shut down an internship program on the Caribbean island after three students complained of sexual misconduct and harassment in 1994, but again recruited students between 2001 and 2017, according to the report of the investigation, which was released Tuesday.

Yale President Peter Salovey ordered the investigation of Redmond on Jan. 28, hiring former U.S. Attorney Deirdre Daly, now an attorney with Finn Dixon & Herling in Stamford, to lead it. According to the 54-page report, delivered to Salovey on Aug. 14, Daly’s team found at least 16 instances of sexual abuse or misconduct involving Redmond.

Based on our investigation, we have concluded that Redmond sexually assaulted five students in St. Kitts while he was a Yale professor. These assaults occurred on five separate occasions, when he initiated and engaged in nonconsensual sexual contact with each student,” the report states. “Each of these incidents occurred in a bedroom that Redmond required each student to share with him and after each of the students had been drinking with Redmond.”

The investigation also found Redmond had conducted three “purported medical exams of students that included inappropriate genital and/or rectal exams” and other acts “involving at least eight other undergraduates or recent graduates and one high school student in St. Kitts, New Haven, and other locations. Two of the assaults and two of the exams occurred in the early 1990s; the remaining three assaults and the third exam occurred between 2010 and 2017. Most of the other misconduct occurred after 2005,” the report states.

Daly’s report says that the victims included young males and one transgender adult and that their accounts were “highly credible.” It continued: “When interviewed, the students were candid and straightforward; they neither embellished facts nor appeared vindictive. There were no eye-witnesses to the assaults, and each of the students acknowledged that they were intoxicated at the time of the assaults. … The strongest corroboration for the assaults is the striking similarity between the students’ accounts of what happened, despite the fact that the incidents occurred years, and, in some cases, decades apart, and the students do not know one another or the nature of their individual accounts.”..

....

..In 1982, Redmond launched the nonprofit St. Kitts Biomedical Research Foundation, where he studied vervet monkeys, which are common on the island. “Some current or former co-investigators at Yale and other institutions confirmed that Redmond’s study of vervet monkeys exposed to MPTP, a drug which induces Parkinsonian features, contributed to the development of a model that was the ‘gold standard’ for Parkinson’s disease research in the 1980s and 1990s,” the report states.

He also had experimented with transplanting fetal tissue into patients with advanced Parkinson’s disease as well as working with genes and stem cells in monkeys with induced Parkinson’s.

Earlier in his career, Redmond had received a patent for clonidine, used as a treatment for opiate withdrawal.

Parties at Redmond’s home

Starting in 1976, Redmond was a fellow at Morse College and since 1998 had advised more than 70 Morse students. He also gave frequent parties at his house and at the Axion Research Foundation, a nonprofit he founded, both of which are near Yale’s campus. Axion paid students who interned in St. Kitts a stipend.

“Witnesses who attended the parties were encouraged to bring friends, and alcohol was served, including to underage students,” the report states. “Witnesses reported that the attendees were overwhelmingly male, and often young, attractive, and athletic. Through these parties, Redmond cultivated a circle of young, male acquaintances.

He also invited several young men from St. Kitts to come to the United States and at least six attended Yale, Southern Connecticut State University or Quinnipiac University, “and at various times, lived at Redmond’s house rent-free while they were in school. In addition, Redmond adopted a young Kittitian man who later graduated from a U.S. university and became a successful doctor,” the report states.

None of the St. Kitts students reported any sexual misconduct, according to the report.

Both Axion and the St. Kitts facility were co-founded by Redmond and a Yale professor identified only as Professor 1 in Daly’s report.

The report states that “Professor 1 has closely collaborated with Redmond for over 35 years, been a member of the Axion and SKBRF boards since their inception, and became the acting president of Axion when Redmond stepped down from that position.” Professor 1 signed a settlement agreement after the 1994 investigation on behalf of Axion, according to the report.

Daly wrote, “We find Professor 1’s conduct to be particularly concerning because: (1) he did not confront, or seek further information from, Redmond about the 1994 complaints; and (2) he failed to enforce the Settlement Agreement and the SKBRF housing policy.”...

An article about Nygard in St. Kitts..excerpts:

June 2016:

Nygard SKN stem cell project in trouble

Bahamas permanent resident, controversial fashion mogul and would-be stem cell entrepreneur Peter Nygard has caused a ruckus in St. Kitts and Nevis, where he is reported to be behind a scandal at the island nation’s St. Kitts’ Joseph N France General Hospital, and connected to an American tourist arrested with a gun at the country’s Robert L. Bradshaw International Airport. Once again, Nygard’s involvement has led to calls for the resignation of a prime minister. The affair has led former St. Kitts-Nevis Prime Minister Dr. Denzil L. Douglas to demand the resignation of Prime Minister Timothy Harris and Health Minister Eugene Hamilton.

Although the stem cell project was approved by Harris’ Cabinet, the chief medical officer (CMO) was in the dark about it. Three rooms in the private ward were separated to accommodate the stem cell project, and doctors and local nurses were assigned to provide medical assistance. All this was done without the CMO’s knowledge, leading some press reports to label the project “illegal”.

The issue has cast a shadow over Harris’ so-called “Team Unity Government”, with Douglas, former Health Minister Dr. Asim Martin, former economist at the United Nations Willa Liburd and others all weighing in on the matter, demanding answers.

And West Basseterre Member of Parliament Konris Maynard of the opposition St. Kitts-Nevis Labour Party is hunting for answers in the wake of what is being called “the Stem Cell Scandal”.

Kentucky billionaire Richard Westin, found with a gun in his luggage while being screened for departure from the R.L. Bradshaw airport, was identified as one of the patients involved in the stem cell project.

Westin was charged by St. Kitts-Nevis Customs and Excise with filing a false customs declaration and

importation of a weapon, and police charged him with failing to declare a weapon. He pleaded guilty to filing a false customs declaration and importation of a weapon. He paid the EC$10,000 fine immediately.

It is being reported that Westin was one of the patients involved in what amounted to an unauthorized stem cell operation involving Peter Nygard: CMO Dr Patrick Martin did not approve the stem cell project..

Richard A. Westin, Professor Emeritus of Law at University of Kentucky, joined the College of Law faculty in 1998. He was a member of the faculty of the University of Houston College of Law from 1984 until 1998, where he taught in the areas of business and tax law.

Professor Westin has published a number of books on tax law, including Federal Tax Planning (Shepards'/McGraw Hill 1990), Federal Income Taxation of Business Enterprises (with J. McNulty and R. Beck, 1995), Tax Fraud and Money Laundering (with R. Hishon and B. Green, 1993), and International Taxation of Electronic Commerce (Kluwer, 2000), as well as numerous book chapters and articles. He is presently working on two books, Federal Income Taxation of Individuals (Aspen/Little Brown, with Prof. J. McNulty of Berkeley Law School) and Federal Officeholders, a study for foreign students of the selection, control and removal of federal judges, legislators and executives.

He is currently a member of the International Fiscal Association and has been a member of the Board of Advisors to the Journal of Natural Resource and Environmental Taxes, and a consultant to the United Nations, the Russian Federation, the Canadian Ministry of Mines & Energy and the People's Republic of China.

Found on Facebook:

DID DILLARDS KNOW THAT PETER NYGARD, THEIR CORE WOMEN’S WEAR MANUFACTURER WAS HARVESTING EMBRYONIC STEMS CELLS FOR PERSONAL USE?

Enraged Moms all over the world cry shame and shout BOYCOTT

Medical ethicists and the governments of Thailand and in the Caribbean are being asked to investigate allegations that Peter Nygard, the Canadian Women’s Apparel merchandiser for Dilliards, the department store giant may have improperly and illegally used his sperm to fertilize eggs taken or harvested from barely legal age girls and used these embryos to harvest their Stem Cells which were injected into him.

Nygard has publically boasted that he is the world’s first human being to have an “autologous Stem Cell Transplant” claiming he funded researchers in the Far East to get the nucleus of his own Stem Cell from his skin and into him.

Most developed country Governments which have looked at the 21st century advent of Stem Cell medicine have adopted stringent protocols against the use of embryos to collect or grow Stem Cells for human use.

Reports are now being received that Nygard has on at least four separate occasions used his frozen sperm to cause in vitro fertilization using donor’s eggs. The most shocking reports come from Caribbean and Bangladesh.

The complaints are that girls have been impregnated and their babies aborted and these Stem Cells have been used for what medical science views as a most nefarious practice.

Nygard brands himself with a video essay in which he claims he wants to live forever.

Women in the United States, the Caribbean, the Far East and South America are outraged over Nygard’s conduct and action groups are rising up in major cities calling for a boycott of Dillard’s Department Store chains which Nygard’s sweat factories in Bangladesh produce more than 70 per cent of the merchandise under various brand names.

Ethicists are united on the position that Stem Cell Science should not be the personal purview of anyone and therefore a personal adventure into this field where scientists are hired to “do questionable and highly improper experiments and research to satisfy the vanity of an individual is unfathomable and a misadventure,” according to one medical journal.

The federal Government in the United States and in Canada are reportedly investigating these complaints.

“What Nygard has done and what Dillard’s is concealing would amount to the most violent criminal trespass on Women in the modern era,” says Dr. Nieu Than, who recently stopped working at a laboratory in Thailand connected to and funded by Nygard. — with Dillard's, Dillard's, Dillard's, Dillard's, Dillard's, Dillard's, Dillard's, Dillard's, Dillard's, Dillard's, Dillard's, Dillard's and Dillard's at Dillard's.
