On Tuesday Igor Danchenko was acquitted on all four charges against him for lying to the FBI.
Danchenko and Christopher Steele made up the entire Trump-Russia narrative and the FBI-DOJ ran with it for years.
Not one of the criminals at the FBI-DOJ who participated in the coup against President Trump will be punished.
My favorite thing about Igor Danchenko is that he was investigated by the FBI as a Russian agent and later was on their payroll as an informant as they were using the false claims he made to Christopher Steele about Trump/Russia to investigate and spy on President Trump. https://t.co/hHh9YZJfkb

Following the announcement today General Michael Flynn, whose life was ruined by the lies and corruption of the Department of Justice, responded to the jury verdict.
Investigative reporter Paul Sperry, who covered the FBI’s Trump-Russia hoax better than anyone, reported.
Paul Sperry: BREAKING: Gen. Michael Flynn, who was Trump’s national security adviser, told me in the wake of the Danchenko trial, which ended in the acquittal of the anti-Trump dossier fabricator, that Durham should be ashamed of himself for losing another case in the Russiagate scandal. “The whole episode makes the DOJ and FBI look wholly corrupt or wholly incompetent or a combination of the above, neither of which is good for the country and neither instills any confidence in the rule of law for the average citizen,” Flynn said. “It’s disgraceful, and clear evidence exists that treason or certainly fraud occurred by the Clinton campaign and by the leadership inside both organizations. Durham should be ashamed. Whatever his reputation as a thorough prosecutor was is now gone”

Election Fraud Prosecution at an ‘All-Time High’: Texas Attorney General’s Office
An official in Texas’ Attorney General’s office testified during a state House hearing that the number of election fraud cases in Texas is at an “all-time high.” The amount is “higher than our historical average by a long shot,” said Jonathan White, the head of the election fraud agency within the Texas Attorney General’s Special Prosecution Division, to the Texas House Elections Committee last week, reported The Texan. When asked by a state lawmaker if there were trends in election fraud prosecutions, White said that “have 510 offenses pending against 43 defendants in court right now,” saying it’s “for several reasons probably.” He did not elaborate. White said that about 80 percent of those pending cases involve alleged mail-in ballot fraud, and 60 percent of resolved cases involved mail-in voting. The attorney general’s office prosecuted 534 election fraud-related cases committed by 155 people since 2005, according to the report. “I think we …
We Were Told That Election 2020 Reports Of Late Night Ballot Drops In White Vans In Multiple States During After The Deadline Was A “Conspiracy Theory” | The Only Problem Was More Video Was Discovered Showing Late Night/Early Morning Ballot Drops 8 Hours After The Deadline | Video: 7 Minutes 21 Seconds
Gateway Pundit received and published video of a Detroit city van delivering tens of thousands of ballots in USPS boxes that were not sealed, that had no chain of custody documentation and that arrived nearly 8 hours after the deadline to accept ballots. As a reward for their investigative reporting on election integrity, they were permanently banned from Twitter.
Exclusive: Suspicious Vehicle Seen Escorting Late Night Election 2020 Biden Ballot Van at TCF Center
Gateway pundit published two videos of ballots being dropped off hours after the deadline in Detroit, Michigan, debunking Big Tech and the mainstream media’s election fraud narrative. They were deleted from Twitter and Facebook. The Gateway Pundit founder was permanently banned by Twitter. In this video, a black Hyundai Elantra also drove into the TCF Center in the early morning on November 4th. Small items were exchanged in two recorded trips through the driver’s open window with someone from inside the TCF Center who came out to meet the car’s occupant.
They Banned Discussion Of Possible Election Fraud Via Computer Systems While “533 Million Facebook Users Had Private Information Leaked Today, Zuckerberg Knew In January And Did Nothing” | Wonder Why. . .
Today Facebook was shaken by the revelation that the personal information of more than 500 million users was leaked to the public. Buried in the reports is the fact that Facebook knew about this leak as early as January of this year, and did nothing to contain it.
Hackers published the personal information, including phone numbers, Facebook IDs, full names, locations, birthdates, bios, and email addresses publicly on a hacker forum earlier today. Shockingly, Facebook – and the wider Internet – was made aware of this breach as early as January of this year, and the big tech platform seemingly did nothing to mitigate the damage.
Business Insider reported that “A Facebook spokesperson told Insider that the data was scraped due to a vulnerability that the company patched in 2019” and “he leaked data could provide valuable information to cybercriminals who use people’s personal information to impersonate them or scam them into handing over login credentials, according to Alon Gal, CTO of cybercrime intelligence firm Hudson Rock, who first discovered the entire trough of leaked data online on Saturday.”
All 533,000,000 Facebook records were just leaked for free.
This means that if you have a Facebook account, it is extremely likely the phone number used for the account was leaked.
I have yet to see Facebook acknowledging this absolute negligence of your data. https://t.co/ysGCPZm5U3 pic.twitter.com/nM0Fu4GDY8
— Alon Gal (Under the Breach) (@UnderTheBreach) April 3, 2021
The leak was first publicized earlier this year, when a hacker attempted to sell access to the private information on a hacking forum. Motherboard reported that “A user of a low-level cybercriminal forum is selling access to a database of phone numbers belonging to Facebook users, and conveniently letting customers look up those numbers by using an automated Telegram bot.”
Facebook apparently knew about this breach since at least this time, and Facebook has apparently done nothing to mitigate the damage. A cyber security expert acknowledged that the big tech platform would likely not be able to stop the damage, but ” Facebook could notify users so they could remain vigilant for possible phishing schemes or fraud using their personal data.”
Facebook has yet to publicly acknowledge the breach or release of the information on its press release web page. Of their recent releases, two pertain to COVID-19 vaccines, one relates to the Oculus virtual reality system owned by Facebook, and another discusses changes to the platform’s news feed.
One Of The Biggest Media Loudmouths Opposing Even The Thought That Computer Systems Can Be Hacked In An Election, Gets Hacked | “Statement From Atlantic Media on Unauthorized Access of Its Servers”
On March 1, 2021, Atlantic Media, a minority shareholder and former corporate owner of The Atlantic, became aware that a serious issue was affecting its systems. Upon deeper investigation, it was discovered that an unauthorized actor had accessed its servers. Atlantic Media immediately engaged external forensics experts to lead an in-depth investigation into the situation and took measures to safeguard its systems as a team worked aggressively to restore the security and functionality of both systems and servers.
The forensic investigation found no evidence that any subscribers’, customers’, or clients’ financial or sensitive information was involved.
Regrettably, however, as Atlantic Media today informed employees, the investigation determined that certain portions of the network file-share server were potentially briefly accessible to the unauthorized actors. The potentially accessible folders on that server included one containing W-2 forms, W-9 forms, and other tax documents that contain names and Social Security Numbers of certain current and former employees of Atlantic Media; its current and former subsidiaries and affiliates, including The Atlantic; and some specific independent contractors. Atlantic Media does not have evidence of any fraudulent use or public disclosure of these data.
Atlantic Media is mailing an official notice to anyone employed in the U.S. by Atlantic Media or its affiliates or subsidiaries between January 1, 2011, and December 31, 2020, as well as to certain independent contractors. The letter will include information about enrolling in complimentary credit-monitoring and identity-restoration services. As an additional resource, Atlantic Media has also established a dedicated call center so that anyone impacted can call with questions or to request more information. To reach the call center, you may call, toll-free, 833-416-0935. (If calling from outside the United States, a toll call can be placed to 936-265-7650 using any applicable international dialing code).
Atlantic Media takes this incident very seriously, and sincerely regrets the inconvenience it has caused. In addition to the extensive security safeguards already in place, the company has subsequent to this incident taken a number of additional steps to enhance the security of its systems and the data it maintains––and this will remain an ongoing priority.

Mainstream Media Debunked Again | “Pennsylvania Forced to Remove 21,000 Dead People Off Its Voter Rolls: Settlement”
The state of Pennsylvania removed more than 20,000 deceased voters from being able to vote after a lawsuit that was settled by the Public Interest Legal Foundation, according to an announcement from a public interest group, which said it reached a settlement with Pennsylvania state officials this week. The lawsuit (pdf) was filed in November and alleged that some 21,000 dead people were still on the state’s voter rolls during the 2020 presidential election. Pennsylvania agreed to compare its voter-registration database with the Social Security Death Index before removing the names from the rolls. “This marks an important victory for the integrity of elections in Pennsylvania,” Public Interest Legal Foundation President and General Counsel J. Christian Adams said in a statement in announcing the court’s decision. “The Commonwealth’s failure to remove deceased registrants created a vast opportunity for voter fraud and abuse. It is important to not have dead voters active on …

Dan Crenshaw Debunks Liberal ‘Racist’ ID Claims with Joe Rogan
The race card is the Democrats’ favorite card to play. It’s their UNO Draw Four card that gets them out of having intellectually honest debates. That’s why when the Georgia voting integrity bill comes up, instead of discussing the actual bill, their responses range between “it’s like injecting horse tranquilizers into Jim Crow’s testicles” and “it’s totes the same as apartheid.” You also have BlueAnon conspiracy theorists like Elizabeth Warren irresponsibly alleging election fraud in the 2018 Georgia governor’s election. SPOILER: Stacey Abrams still lost.
Rep. Dan Crenshaw paid a visit to Joe Rogan’s gingivitis-colored studios, where they tried to make sense of the claim: “How is needing ID to vote raaaaaaaaacist?”

Monsanto Case Reveals That Power Conspiracies On A Massive Scale Do Happen | Think Election 2020 Fraud
German chemical giants Bayer admitted Monday its subsidiary Monsanto could have kept lists of key figures — for or against pesticides — “in other European countries”, and not just in France.
Bayer apologised Sunday after it emerged that Monsanto had a PR agency collate lists of French politicians, scientists and journalists, with their views on pesticides and GM crops.
“I think it’s very likely that such lists also exist in other European countries,” Matthias Berninger, Bayer’s head of Public Affairs, told journalists in a conference call.
Disparate treatment in two fund-raising fraud cases renews debate over dual Justice system
Just a few short weeks apart, the U.S. Justice Department settled two major fund-raising cases involving foreign money injected into American elections.
In February, a longtime Democratic bundler named Imaad Zuberi, who also donated to Donald Trump’s inauguration, was sentenced to 12 years in prison and millions in fines in a criminal information that alleged he routed foreign money into U.S elections, sometimes through straw donors.
Last week, Nigerian-Lebanese billionaire Gilbert Chagoury, 75, a large donor to the Clinton Foundation, got a fine, no prison and deferred prosecution for allegedly routing his foreign money to straw donors to help Mitt Romney’s 2012 presidential campaign and some GOP congressional candidates. An associate also made a secret loan to Obama-era Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood, who failed to disclose the assistance.

Finding of Absentee Ballot Fraud in local Mississippi race requires a new election
Massive 78% of mail-in ballots proved fraudulent in aldermanic race in Aberdeen, Mississippi. A judge in Mississippi has ordered a new election because of absentee vote fraud.
ABERDEEN, MISS. (WCBI) – A judge is ordering a new runoff election for the Ward 1 alderman seat in Aberdeen.
In the sixty-four-page order, Judge Jeff Weill not only calls for a new election but also finds evidence of fraud and criminal activity, in how absentee ballots were handled, how votes were counted, and the actions by some at the polling place.
In his ruling, the judge said that sixty-six of eighty-four absentee ballots cast in the June runoff were not valid and should never have been counted. Nicholas Holliday was declared the winner by a 37 vote margin. Robert Devaull challenged the results in court.
Judge Weill found many irregularities with absentee ballots. He issued a bench warrant for notary Dallas Jones, who notarized absentee ballots. During a hearing, Jones admitted violating notary duties. . . .

Ex-CDC Director Says He Believes Coronavirus Escaped from a Chinese Lab
by Chuck Ross
Dr. Robert Redfield, former director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), cast doubt on the prevalent theory about the origins of the coronavirus, saying in an interview released Friday that he believes the virus escaped from a science lab in China.
“I do not believe this somehow came from a bat to a human,” Redfield told CNN’s Sanjay Gupta for a special on the virus that airs Sunday.
“Normally, when a pathogen goes from a zoonot to human, it takes a while for it to figure out how to become more and more efficient in human to human transmission,” Redfield said.
Redfield, who helped lead the Trump administration’s response to the coronavirus pandemic, said that he believes that the virus started transmitting in Wuhan, China, in September or October of 2019, likely as the result of a leak from a lab in the city.
“That’s my own feelings. And only opinion. I’m allowed to have opinions now,” he said in the interview.

Epidemiologist: We Could Have Reached Natural Herd Immunity in 6 Weeks | Video: 1 Hour 12 Minutes 27 Seconds
Why do governments persist with lockdowns, or the threat of lockdowns, given a growing body of evidence showing that lockdowns don’t save lives? Will lockdowns that were meant to only ‘flatten the curve’ now be sidelined because COVID vaccines are considered the panacea?
This week on Speaking Naturally, we interview Knut Wittkowski, Ph.D. He is an eminent scientist with a long track record as a biostatistician and epidemiologist. He was one of the earliest to call out the folly of lockdowns. His main recommendations to shield or treat early the most vulnerable, while letting the infection run its normal course through healthy populations — stated as early as March 2020 — subsequently became the basis of the Great Barrington Declaration.

The Most Melancholy Comet We’ve Ever Seen
In 2019, Gennady Borisov, an amateur astronomer in Crimea, discovered his seventh comet. This icy object wasn’t like the others Borisov had found, or like any of the other comets in the solar system. This one wasn’t orbiting the sun.
Instead, it had been drifting alone in interstellar space, following its own path, until one day, it entered our solar system and grazed past the sun. Warmed by the heat of a star, for the first time in who knows how long, the icy comet thawed just a little bit.
Some of Earth’s most powerful telescopes captured the cosmic interloper as it went by. Astronomers could see the comet enveloped in a fuzzy glow of once-frozen dust particles loosed by the sun.
By analyzing these particles from afar, researchers have managed to learn about the comet’s composition, its origins, and its long journey here. One recent finding demonstrates something rather melancholy.
Of the comets astronomers have observed, this one—named Borisov, after its discoverer—is one of the most pristine. “Think of the wind erosion of the mountains, or even the suntan on our skin when we go to the beach,” Stefano Bagnulo, an astronomer at Armagh Observatory, in the United Kingdom, who had studied Borisov, told me. Borisov shows very few signs of another sunny encounter in its journey through space. For a comet to be as unblemished as this one means it has been extremely alone.
Dozens of Plaintiffs Demand Day in Court Against Monsanto as Bayer Tries to Reassure Investors
Ken Moll is girding for battle.
Moll, a Chicago-based personal injury attorney, has dozens of lawsuits pending against the former Monsanto Co., all alleging the company’s Roundup weed killers cause non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and he is now preparing several of those cases for trial.
Moll’s firm is one of a handful that have refused settlement offers made by Monsanto owner Bayer AG, deciding instead to take the fight over the safety of Monsanto’s glyphosate-based herbicide products back into courtrooms around the country.
Though Bayer has assured investors it is bringing closure to the costly Roundup litigation through settlement deals totaling more than $11 billion, new Roundup cases are still being filed, and notably several are positioned for trial, with the earliest set to start in July.
“We’re going forward,” Moll said. “We’re doing this.”
Moll has lined up many of the same expert witnesses who helped win the three Roundup trials held to date. And he plans to rely heavily on the same internal Monsanto documents that provided shocking revelations of corporate misconduct that led juries to award hefty punitive damages to the plaintiffs in each of those trials.

Biden Commerce Secretary Says Trump’s Steel and Aluminum Tariffs Saved American Jobs
Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo told reporters at the White House on April 7 that the Trump administration’s tariffs on steel and aluminum saved American jobs. “With respect to tariffs, there is a place for tariffs.

We have to level the playing field. No one can out-compete the American worker if the playing field is level,” Raimondo continued. “And the fact is, China’s actions are uncompetitive, coercive, underhanded. They’ve proven they’ll do whatever it takes. And so I plan to use all the tools in my toolbox as aggressively as possible to protect American workers and businesses from unfair Chinese practices.” President Donald Trump in March 2018 imposed a 25 …

Official: EU agency to confirm AstraZeneca blood clot link
Marco Cavaleri, head of health threats and vaccine strategy at the Amsterdam-based agency, told Rome’s Il Messaggero newspaper on Tuesday that the European Union’s medicines regulator is preparing to make a more definitive statement on the topic this week.
ROME — A top official at the European Medicines Agency says there’s a causal link between AstraZeneca’s coronavirus vaccine and rare blood clots, but that it’s unclear what the connection is and that the benefits of taking the shot still outweigh the risks of getting COVID-19.
Marco Cavaleri, head of health threats and vaccine strategy at the Amsterdam-based agency, told Rome’s Il Messaggero newspaper on Tuesday that the European Union’s medicines regulator is preparing to make a more definitive statement on the topic this week.
Asked about Cavaleri’s comments, the EMA press office said its evaluation “has not yet reached a conclusion and the review is currently ongoing.” It said it planned a press conference as soon as the review is finalized, possibly Wednesday or Thursday.
Based on the evidence so far, Cavaleri said there’s a clear association between the AstraZeneca vaccine and the dozens of rare blood clots that have been reported worldwide amid the tens of millions of AstraZeneca shots that have been given out.
“It is becoming more and more difficult to affirm that there isn’t a cause-and-effect relationship between AstraZeneca vaccines and the very rare cases of blood clots associated with a low level of platelets,” Cavaleri was quoted as saying.
