Ghislaine Maxwell will be sentenced today for her role in the sex-trafficking crimes of Jeffery Epstein and his high-profile clientele. Seven of Epstein’s victims, including Virginia Guiffre and Annie Farmer, will face the former socialite in court Today at 11 AM.

Despite a plea for a much lesser sentence, Maxwell faces more than 50 years in jail after being convicted for her crimes.

In December, a jury found Maxwell guilty on five of six outstanding charges against her.

Those charges included the following:

  • Count 1: Conspiracy to entice a minor to travel to engage in illegal sex acts – maximum sentence of five years
  • Count 3: Conspiracy to transport a minor with the intent to engage in criminal sexual activity – maximum sentence of five years
  • Count 4: Transporting a minor with the intent to engage in criminal sexual activity – maximum sentence of 10 years
  • Count 5: Conspiracy to commit sex trafficking of minors – maximum sentence of five years
  • Count 6: Sex trafficking of minors – maximum sentence of 40 years

Last week Maxwell was placed on suicide watch, raising public concern for Maxwell’s safety as the circumstances were similar to those that preceded Epstein’s death. The billionaire’s death has sparked much controversy, a source of many conspiracy theories. 

Updates will be provided as more information becomes available.

Update as of 1:11PM EST

So far, we have:
The probation department recommends 240 months in prison.
The defense asks for 4 to 5 years in prison.
The prosecution asks for 30-55 years in prison.

Vatican Praises Court Decision on Roe v Wade, No Official Word from Pope Francis

The first 24-hour cycle after the overturn of Roe v Wade saw a spectrum of public responses ranging from jubilation to violence. While many leftist pundits, personalities, and politicians have angrily called for “action”, a department of the Vatican has actually come out in praise of the decision.

Pope Francis himself has yet to release a statement on the US Supreme Court ruling, however, the Pontifical Academy of Life did release an official statement.

As per the Catholic News Agency:

The Pontifical Academy of Life said Friday that the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade “challenges the whole world.”

“The court’s opinion shows how the issue of abortion continues to arouse heated debate. The fact that a large country with a long democratic tradition has changed its position on this issue also challenges the whole world,” the Vatican academy wrote in a statement on June 24.

“The protection and defense of human life is not an issue that can remain confined to the exercise of individual rights, but instead is a matter of broad social significance. After 50 years, it is important to reopen a non-ideological debate on the place that the protection of life has in a civil society to ask ourselves what kind of coexistence and society we want to build,” it said.

The academy’s statement was the first official reaction to the court’s decision issued by an entity linked to the Roman Curia. Pope Francis has condemned abortion using strong language, referring to it as “murder” and on multiple occasions comparing the act of killing an unborn child to hiring a “hitman” to solve a problem.

Archbishop Vincenzo Paglia, the president of the academy, said: “In the face of Western society that is losing its passion for life, this act is a powerful invitation to reflect together on the serious and urgent issue of human generativity and the conditions that make it possible.”

Despite the statement, many Christian conservatives are leery of the Vatican, Pope Francis in particular, as he has met many times with pro-abortion Democrats.

Pope Francis has even called Joe Biden “a good Catholic”.

The lack of a statement from Francis comes amid speculation the Pontiff is poised to step down, ostensibly for health reasons.

Will Roe V Wade Overturn Be the Inciting Incident for an Impending Civil Proxy War?

By ,

We’ve officially crossed the Rubicon folks, and the culture war seems to be on the verge of a gruesome crescendo. The Supreme Court has sided with the state of Mississippi and overturned Roe v. Wade. Laws related to abortion will now once again be decided by the states. 

Justice Samuel Alito asserted that Roe was “egregiously wrong” and had been “on a collision course with the Constitution from the day it was decided.”

“Roe was egregiously wrong from the start,” Justice Samuel Alito wrote. “Its reasoning was exceptionally weak, and the decision has had damaging consequences. And far from bringing about a national settlement of the abortion issue, Roe and Casey have enflamed debate and deepened division.”

Mississippi took the case to the Supreme Court, arguing that both Roe and Casey should be overturned. They cited evidence that fetuses can feel pain as early as ten weeks. Oral arguments were made before the court in December 2021.

On May 2, 2022, a draft opinion written by Justice Samuel Alito was leaked to Politico. In the draft, he wrote that “it is time to heed the Constitution and return the issue of abortion to the people’s elected representatives.”

To absolutely no one’s surprise, the leak prompted a wave of protests and backlash against conservative justices, including the firebombing of pro-life pregnancy centers and a foiled assassination plot against Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

The response to the leak was bad enough, but now that Roe is officially overturned, there are many indications arising which suggest things could get quite heated in regards to the ongoing culture war.

In the wake of the SCOTUS decision, abortion activists were filmed handing out the home address of Justice Clarence Thomas to fellow protestors outside of the Supreme Court.

The pro-abortion group Ruth Sent Us, who originally doxed the justices and called for protests at their homes, has now called for a protest at the home of Justice Thomas on the evening the opinion was announced.

The focus on Thomas is likely due to a concurring opinion he’d written regarding Roe v. Wade reiterating his view that the due process clause does not protect a right to an abortion. He also stated that the court  “should reconsider” previous rulings from SCOTUS codifying rights to contraception access, same-sex relationships, and same-sex marriage.

Thomas wrote, “…in future cases, we should reconsider all of this Court’s substantive due process precedents, including Griswold, Lawrence, and Obergefell. Because any substantive due process decision is demonstrably erroneous.”

Former President Barack Obama and multiple other Democrat politicians have begun to stoke the flames of civil unrest. 

Obama isn’t the only one priming the public for potentially violent action, Democrat Rep. Maxine Waters, the self-appointed ambassador of all black women, responded by telling Americans the Supreme Court has no power to make the decision. “The hell with the Supreme Court! We will defy them!” she threatened, “black women will be out in droves—we will be out by the millions!” She also warned that “black women” will not be intimidated.

Many are claiming that these calls to action are inciting violence in the same fashion it was claimed that Donald Trump incited the Jan. 6th insurrection. The Department of Homeland Security Thursday night warned Catholic churches and pro-life pregnancy centers to be prepared for a “night of rage” by pro-abortion terrorist groups if Roe v Wade gets overturned by the Supreme Court.

Another important aspect of this situation are the ‘trigger bans’ in separate states, meaning abortion immediately becomes illegal once Roe is overturned.

26 states total will likely ban abortion or have a near ban via the Guttmacher Institute:

  1. Alabama—Pre-Roe ban, Near-total ban, State constitution bars protection
  2. Arizona—Pre-Roe ban
  3. Arkansas—Pre-Roe ban, Trigger ban, Near-total ban
  4. Georgia—Six-week ban
  5. Idaho—Trigger ban, Six-week ban
  6. Iowa—Six-week ban
  7. Kentucky—Trigger ban, Six-week ban
  8. Louisiana—Trigger ban, Near-total ban, Six-week ban, State constitution bars protection
  9. Michigan—Pre-Roe ban
  10. Mississippi—Pre-Roe ban, Trigger ban, Six-week ban
  11. Missouri—Trigger ban, Eight-week ban
  12. North Dakota—Trigger ban, Six-week ban
  13. Ohio—Six-week ban
  14. Oklahoma—Pre-Roe ban, Trigger ban (effective November 1, 2021), Near-total ban, Six-week ban
  15. South Carolina—Six-week ban
  16. South Dakota—Trigger ban
  17. Tennessee—Trigger ban, Six-week ban, State constitution bars protection
  18. Texas—Pre-Roe ban, Trigger ban, Six-week ban
  19. Utah—Trigger ban, Near-total ban
  20. West Virginia—Pre-Roe ban, State constitution bars protection
  21. Wisconsin—Pre-Roe ban
  22. Wyoming—Trigger ban

An additional four states have political composition, history and other indicators—such as recent actions to limit access to abortion—that show they are likely to ban abortion as soon as possible without federal protections in place.

  1. Florida—In 2021, the state legislature attempted to ban abortion at 20 weeks of pregnancy and an effort to adopt a Texas-style six-week ban was publicized. In April 2022, a 15-week abortion ban was enacted that is scheduled to go into effect in July.
  2. Indiana—In the past decade, the legislature has enacted 55 abortion restrictions and bans, paving the way for a comprehensive ban.
  3. Montana—For the first time in nearly a decade, new abortion restrictions were enacted in 2021, including restrictions on medication abortion and abortion at 20 weeks of pregnancy. (These restrictions currently cannot be enforced due to a court order.)
  4. Nebraska—Although not one of the most prolific states on enacting abortion restrictions, it was the first to adopt a 22-week ban (in 2010), and in 2020, enacted a ban on the standard method for abortion after 15 weeks.

While we hope that no one will be harmed in the fallout, if the riots of 2020 were any indication that the population was capable of keeping protests peaceful then chances are relatively high that we will see some collateral damage. The real question is whether or not this, in addition to other mounting disagreements, is something that can be mitigated without resorting to a “peaceful divorce” or worse yet, a civil war. 

WHO is Set to Decide Whether Monkeypox Should be Elevated to ‘Public Health Emergency’ Status

The World Health Organization is set to decide this Thursday whether it will declare Monkeypox a global health emergency.

The WHO, a United Nations agency, declared back in January that the virus was an emergency, the upcoming decision will potentially see the threat level rise to “public health emergency of international concern”, which, according to Reuters, is the WHO’s highest level of alert.

Monkeypox does not appear to spread nearly as easily as COVID but it has still raised alarm.

The case count from the current outbreak outside of Africa has topped 3,000 in more than 40 countries, according to a Reuters tally – largely among men who have sex with men – since it was first reported in May. As of yet, there have been no reports of deaths.

The WHO will convene a closed meeting of experts at 12 p.m. (1000 GMT) in Geneva. It remains unclear when the decision will be announced.

Author’s Opinion:  It is uncertain what steps if any will be taken, but if the COVID debacle of 2020 is any indication, if there is wealth to be made, then it’s a sure bet those who are in the know have already positioned themselves to do so, that is including those who have the power to hype up an otherwise non-threat.

Landmark Lawsuit Filed Against Joe Biden By Missouri AG for Colluding with Big-Tech

By ,

Back in May, Missouri’s Attorney General Eric Schmitt’s office filed a lawsuit against the Biden Administration. Naturally, the landmark suit was completely omitted from the mainstream media.

Just last week, AG Schmitt landed a big blow against Biden by filing a motion to prohibit the censorship conspiracy immediately.

You can read a copy of the lawsuit HERE

The AG’s suit against the Biden Admin. also sues some other deserving people and agencies, including:

  • Joe Biden, himself
  • Anthony Fauci
  • The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID)
  • The Department of Homeland Security (DHS)
  • DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas
  • The CyberSecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA)
  • The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
  • Former Ministry of Truth head Nina “Mary Poppins” Jankowicz
  • Former Biden Press Secretary Jen Psaki
  • And several more agencies and officials

The suit, brought along with the Louisiana Attorney General’s Office, is filed in the United States District Court for the Western District of Louisiana.

It’s certainly a long-overdue step in the right direction. Anyone who has dared to challenge the establishment narrative on things like COVID Lockdowns, election fraud, or the Hunter Biden Laptop has been met with outrageous censorship. It is not uncommon to see things like:

  • sudden account termination;
  • account suspension;
  • imposing warnings or “strikes” against accounts to chill future speech;
  • shadow-banning;
  • demonetizing content;
  • adjusting algorithms to suppress or de-emphasize speakers or messages;
  • promoting or demoting content;
  • placing warning labels on content (“This Article’s Claims are False”);
  • suppressing content in OTHER users’ feeds;
  • promoting negative comments on disfavored content; and
  • requiring additional click-throughs to access content, among others.

Let’s hope the Court appreciates the severity of the Constitutional deprivations that have occurred and continue to occur to millions of Americans on a daily basis.
