Michael Avanatti has been sentenced to 30 months in prison for trying to extort Nike.

The Judge: "Mr. Avenatti's conduct was outrageous. He hijacked his client's claims, and he used those claims to further his own agenda."

On the latest Fusion GPS/Alfa Bank developments we posted:

Fusion GPS attorney is risking sanctions to try to settle the case with Alfa Bank. Why the desperation?

It could have to do with the "500 critically important documents" Alfa Bank demands to see - including internal Fusion correspondence.

Expansion of the Supreme Court is really a threat against "conservatives" on the Court: stay in line or there will be changes.

Does this explain Justice Kavanaugh and Barrett's lack of fortitude?

Twitter suspended COVID reporter Alex Berenson after today’s White House announcement.

It’s gonna start getting uglier out there.

This isn't about the "truth."

It is about seizing power over what can be said.

“The only way to win at this scheme is not to play; to go on the attack; to continually point out how intensely political the motives are, then start applying massive amounts of ridicule upon the House Democrats.”

The FBI (and its informants) have been accused of conceiving the idea to kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer.

FBI Agent Richard Trask helped with that effort.

Here is the full probable cause affidavit detailing how Agent Trask assaulted his wife.

A deeper dive into the history of the CDC:

After the Vietnam War, tens of thousands of Veterans and their children reported diseases and birth defects caused by Agent Orange.

The CDC responded by twisting the science on Agent Orange to deny their benefits.

To follow friend BAP:

Hello frends. Just saw about Twatter suspension. I'm looking into it. But even if I can get account back, you see it is unstable situation there. Therefore I will be poasting on here for a bit, at least until situation is resolved. I will poast here regularly from now on.

If I can provide context on current developments -

NYC mandates vaccines for restaurants. The press calls for banning the unvaccinated for travel and blames the unvaccinated for our current situation.

The unvaccinated have become the scapegoat.

To paraphrase Rene Girard, their accusations make it possible to blame disasters on people who are blameless.

The unvaccinated have become the COVID scapegoats.

They say it's about health. Make no mistake - it is also political.

On the increasing calls to shame and punish the unvaccinated into compliance:

This is a huge admission from the Gov't on the January 6 cases:

"We possess some information that . . . law enforcement authorized [people] to enter the restricted grounds, e.g., images of officers hugging or fist bumping rioters, posing for photos with rioters, and moving bike racks."

Two years dead and gone:

Revisiting the DC DOJ's efforts to protect Jeffrey Epstein and violate the rights of his victims.

Including the names of the high-level DOJ officials who helped cover it all up.

Friends, a brief programming note.

We’ve done extensive work on criminal justice and political matters, from Special Counsel Mueller to the Flynn case to Jeffrey Epstein.

With vaccine mandates now a real possibility, we will increase our focus on COVID, the vaccines, and the CDC/FDA.

The WHO narrative on the origins of COVID-19 is starting to shift.

WHO official Dr. Peter Ben Embarek alleged in February 2021 that the likely COVID-19 origins were from the Wuhan wet market.

He now (a quote from today's The Sun) believes it could have jumped "from a bat to a human" at the Wuhan lab.

A concession that the origin is the Wuhan lab - but they're doing everything they can to dispute COVID-19 was a Wuhan lab creation.

It's not gonna work. One day they won't be able to deny the truth.

As promised, a closer look at the CDC and COVID vaccines -

The CDC is relying on flawed studies to support COVID vaccination of pregnant women.

We went through the studies. They aren't good - and their authors admit the deficiencies.

The WSJ reports Special Counsel John Durham is "examining potential criminal charges against several lower-level FBI employees, and people who aren’t in government."

We discuss what this might mean - and who might be charged:
