Sefer Chasidim (205) One who is involved in oaths for angels or demons or magic incantations will not come to a good end. He himself will suffer physically or his children all his life. Therefore a person should distance himself from such activities as well as questioning through dreams to know which woman to marry or what business investment will be successful.. rather he needs to simply trust in G-d. and pray to Him.

Capitol Police chief tears into Tucker Carlson for claims about Officer Brian Sicknick

Washington’s medical examiner found this week that Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick died a natural death on Jan. 7, a day after he clashed with protesters at the Capitol. That official determination, coming months after the event, was at odds with earlier assertions by Capitol Police that Mr. Sicknick succumbed to injuries incurred during the Capitol riot. Here is how the account of Mr. Sicknick’s death unfolded.

Within hours of Sicknick's death, the Capitol Police released a statement late January 7 that Sicknick died "due to injuries sustained while on-duty" while "physically engaging with protesters" at the Capitol.[31] On January 8, the United States Department of Justice published a statement by Acting Attorney General Jeffrey A. Rosen, which attributed Sicknick's death "to injuries he suffered defending the U.S. Capitol, against the violent mob who stormed it".[8] Months later on April 19, the medical examiner reported that there was no evidence that Sicknick had any injuries.[1]

That evening, Officer Sicknick texted his brother to say he had been “pepper-sprayed” but was in “good shape,” his brother told ProPublica. But shortly before 10 p.m., according to the Capitol Police, he collapsed after returning to his division office and was taken to a local hospital. At some point over the next 24 hours, Officer Sicknick’s condition apparently deteriorated. He was put on a ventilator and treated for a blood clot and a stroke, his brother said. He died at about 9:30 p.m. on Jan. 7.

What to know about the Tucker Carlson January 6 footage

The new Sicknick footage does not disprove the medical examiner’s conclusion that January 6 influenced Sicknick’s death, and it doesn’t erase the fact that Trump supporters assaulted Sicknick that day.
Fox News stands in legal peril. It says defamation loss would harm all media
https://www.npr.org/2023/03/06/1161221798/if-fox-news-loses-defamation-dominion-media
In its legal briefs, Fox leans heavily on the idea that news organizations must be allowed to convey allegations by major public figures to their audiences — even wild allegations. Rutgers' Chen says that doesn't hold up if Fox was motivated by profit instead of the newsworthiness of the claims being presented in its programs.
"The fact that there was arguably a motive by Fox to publish these accusations against Dominion based on its own economic interests in retaining Trump viewers would, if believed by the jury, probably destroy that argument," Chen says.

Tucker Carlson releases exclusive Jan. 6 footage, says politicians, media lied about Sicknick, 'QAnon Shaman'
New York Post columnist Miranda Devine called the charges against Chansley "very sad," saying that the footage proves that he was "harmless."
"You can see the way those people were walking through the Capitol… they are walking meekly, politely queuing, very peaceable. They don't mean any harm. They are treating the Capitol with reverence," Devine told Carlson. "That doesn't excuse the others, the minority of the protesters who did break windows and fight police and injure police and cause mayhem. But the people who are now being picked up and some of them have been jailed without trial for months, even years on end, did not commit violence. They walked through open doors, they were escorted by police, they felt that this was okay. And I think Jacob Chansley is a classic example of that."
