Jeffrey Epstein’s predatory enabler, Ghislaine Maxwell, has been found guilty on five of six counts related to her participation in sexual assaults of minors.  Four women testified that Maxwell was the facilitator of their abuse, essentially grooming them to be raped by Epstein.

Maxwell was found guilty of conspiracy to entice minors to travel to engage in illegal sex acts; conspiracy to transport minors with intent to engage in criminal sexual activity; transportation of a minor with intent to engage in criminal sexual activity; sex trafficking conspiracy; sex trafficking of a minor.  The lone count on which Maxwell was acquitted, enticing a minor to travel to engage in illegal sex acts, applied only to one Jane Doe victim.

NEW YORK (AP) — The British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell was convicted Wednesday of luring teenage girls to be sexually abused by the American millionaire Jeffrey Epstein.

The verdict capped a monthlong trial featuring sordid accounts of the sexual exploitation of girls as young as 14, told by four women who described being abused as teens in the 1990s and early 2000s at Epstein’s palatial homes in Florida, New York and New Mexico.

Jurors deliberated for five full days before finding Maxwell guilty of five of six counts. As the verdict was read, Maxwell appeared to show little reaction behind a black mask. She stood with her hands folded as the jury filed out, and glanced at her siblings as she herself was led from the courtroom, but was otherwise stoic.

She faces the likelihood of years in prison — an outcome long sought by women who spent years fighting in civil courts to hold Maxwell accountable for her role in recruiting and grooming Epstein’s teenage victims and sometimes joining in the sexual abuse.

When CDC Director Rochelle Wolensky talks, she is speaking to a diminishing audience of branch covidians.  As the official guidance from the U.S. medical community (NIH, FDA, CDC) shifts drastically, more people are awake to the political motives behind the rules.  This reality is now becoming a serious issue for them.

Earlier today, CDC Director Wolensky spoke to several stenographers about the changes.  On ABC she stated there was no recommendation to “test out” of quarantine after five days, because the CDC is now admitting the PCR tests are useless.  As she stated, “PCR tests can stay positive for up to 12 weeks” after the infection.  This is an issue now, because the politics of the quarantine has changed.  WATCH:

.

In another interview the CNN stenographer, now sensing the dam collapsing, asked directly if this shift in quarantine guidance was due to the “business” or economic impacts of COVID as it relates to the ever-shifting science.

Dr. Robert W. Malone MD, MS, has been permanently suspended from the Twitter platform for violating acceptable speech rules related to COVID-19.

The larger issue is not related to Twitter’s individual and arbitrary rules, but rather all Americans should consider that communication about COVID-19 is being restricted by various compliance officers operating on behalf of the state. We are living in a communication era of Orwellian proportions.

We are also entering into a very dangerous phase in our national history.  People are eyes-wide-open to the vaccine propaganda, messaging and inherent conflicts from officials in the institutions of government and health.

While it may sound like a good outcome to have massive numbers of Americans awaken to their new reality, and that outcome results in a complete collapse in confidence with government officials, the downstream consequence of such severe destabilization comes at a much higher cost than the virus itself.

Dr. Malone can be found on the Substack platform where he shares the following message:

We all knew it would happen eventually.

Today it did. Over a half million followers gone in a blink of an eye. That means I must have been on the mark, so to speak. Over the target. It also means we lost a critical component in our fight to stop these vaccines being mandated for children and to stop the corruption in our governments, as well as the medical-industrial complex and pharmaceutical industries.

If you listen to most champagne socialists, they will tell you they believe airline travel has become too affordable and just about anyone is able to fly now.  For a few decades this has been a source of consternation amid the Democrat cocktail party class, whenever the subject is approached.

It stands to reason the people behind Joe Biden will eventually concede the issue of mandatory vaccine passports for domestic air travel to the administrative state and their donors amid the Branch Covidians.  They’re in  the same group circles where Anthony Fauci is venerated and appreciated.

However, I doubt it will happen until after the U.S. universal passport system, the ¹vaccination ID, is put into place – because currently, the airline companies would stand to lose too much revenue.

WASHINGTON DC – President Biden said Tuesday he would impose a mandate that Americans be vaccinated against COVID-19 to travel domestically if his medical team recommends it.

When asked when he would make a decision on domestic travel vaccine requirements while out for a walk in Rehoboth Beach, Del., Biden told reporters, “when I get a recommendation from the medical team.”

Politico is reporting that former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is dead at the age of 82.

Politico – […] Reid, who was the longest-serving senator in Nevada‘s history, had been battling pancreatic cancer. His wife, Landra Reid, released a statement Tuesday night, calling her husband a “devout family man and deeply loyal friend.” They were married for 62 years. (more)

Hopefully everyone has done their preparatory diligence and are well situated to assist their family, because prices on fast turn consumable goods (groceries) are now less than 30 days from entering exponential increase phase.  CTH has been counting down the days to impact as the contract terms of 30, 60 and 90 days have begun expiring.

The Wall Street Journal has seen the first pricing notification memo from Kraft-Heinz food group to the buying offices of major U.S. retailers.  Here’s how the WSJ presents it: “Kraft Heinz Co. told retailer customers that it would raise prices across many of its products including Jell-O pudding and Grey Poupon mustard, with some items going up as much as 20%, according to a memo viewed by The Wall Street Journal.”  VIDEO:

Keep in mind a few points:

(1) The outlined price increases noted are against current price terms and contracts.  Meaning, these are price increases from right now to the next fulfillment.  These are not inflation price increases which are compared to a year ago.  These are 5% to 20% increases from the current price right now.

(2) The price increases are not the final price increase.  This is the price of a contract today from the field to the distribution center.  The retailer also has additional price increases (transportation, energy, labor, etc) which they need to add to the wholesale price before you see the final price at retail (grocery store).

The final field to fork price is not yet known but will be higher than noted above.  We are only seeing the notifications from field, through processing and into warehousing and distribution.

The CDC changed guidance on quarantine times yesterday, highlighting their motive as always driven by politics and money, not public health {Go Deep}.  Many people immediately recognized this, but the visible intent of the change is problematic for the government institutions.

To defend the administrative state, the media -incapable of admitting what is transparently obvious- now need to reconcile the CDC quarantine changes through the false prism of public health.

The result is 100 percent demonstrable gaslighting.  Look at this spin:

(Philly Inquirer) – “The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention updated its guidelines this week for what people should do if they’re exposed to or contract COVID-19, following new research that shows most transmission occurs early in the course of illness.

The update comes as people return home from holiday gatherings with friends and family, and schools prepare to reopen — as the highly contagious omicron strain continues to spread. The new guidelines, which reduce the amount of time asymptomatic people must quarantine at home after exposure, are an attempt to reduce the risk of transmission while minimizing the disruption to people’s daily routines.” (read more)

Everything about that claimed justification for the quarantine changes is demonstrably and provably false.

Last night Dr. Anthony Fauci openly admitted the only reason the CDC changed the quarantine times was because they needed to help corporate employers reduce sick time, or time “out” of work.  Twitter Video:

The Washington Post, the primary outlet for the Fourth Branch of government operations, is publishing information from the Lawfare operatives that work inside the Jan-6 committee showing their timeline.

Deep state operative Mary McCord (not named but transparently visible) and administrative insiders tell WaPo, “The rough timeline being discussed among senior committee staffers includes public hearings starting this winter and stretching into spring, followed by an interim report in the summer and a final report ahead of November’s elections.”

The early 2022 hearings will target GOP primary candidates and the effort of Democrats to influence the primary elections.

The summer interim report will be dropped after the primary races are finished and will be intended to influence the summer campaign season.  The final report will drop as the coordinated DNC/Lawfare “October surprise”.  None of this should come as a surprise to those who follow the deep weeds of DC politics.

The coordinated Lawfare and Democrat fingerprints are obvious even in the WaPo report.  The Legislative Branch will work with the Fourth Branch (intelligence apparatus writ large) to blend the senate “federal election reform bill” with the recommendations from the J6 committee:

In an effort to keep the Daily Open Thread a little more open topic we are going to start a new daily thread for “Presidential Politics”. Please use this thread to post anything relating to the JoeBama Administration and Presidency.

“This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can’t be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won’t be done. The Founders’ Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.”

“But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.”

~ Mike Vanderboegh

For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †
