December 17, 1968: Mary Flora Bell (age 11), was sentenced to life in detention at "Her Majesty's pleasure" at Newcastle Assizes, for the murder of two boys: Martin Brown (aged 4) and Brian Howe (aged 3). The case attracted huge media attention. In 1980, at age 23 she was released from prison. Given her early childhood horrorific abuse by her mother it's not much of a surprise. A lifelong court order granted her anonymity, which has since been extended to protect the identity of her daughter and granddaughter. She has since lived under a series of pseudonyms.

Half of the articles on InfoWars' main page are about drones. Crazy times.



Pennsylvania is run by some of the stupidest people imaginable. A senator amping up the nonsense...




Biden's DOJ announced it WILL NOT prosecute MCKINSEY & Co. for advising Purdue Pharma to "turbocharge" OxyContin sales amidst the opioid crisis.

ONE exec made a plea deal with a max sentence of 1 year.

Pathetic. A slap in the face to everyone who lost a loved one to the crisis.


DOJ Announces Resolution of Criminal and Civil Investigations into McKinsey & Company’s Work with Purdue Pharma


For added context, the DOJ also settled with the Malvern, PA based Endo Health for a fraction of what was being sought. Even the judge presiding over the case was confused: "I just don’t understand how it went from $1 billion to $200 million."

The consulting firm WestExec that became Biden admin’s cabinet in wait, where both Blinken at state and Lisa Monaco at DOJ worked, had McKinsey as a client. WestExec boys consulted for consulting giant Mckinsey on consulting for other clients.



McKinsey's consulting work has also been influential in establishing many of the "norms" of how governments and corporations are run. The company has been influential in the British Department of Health for many years and was heavily involved in the discussions around the Health and Social Care Act 2012. Many of McKinsey's alumni become CEOs of major corporations or hold high level government positions. In doing so, they influence the other organizations with McKinsey's values and culture. McKinsey's alumni have been appointed as CEOs or high-level executives at Google, American Express, Boeing, IBM, Westinghouse Electric, Sears, AT&T, PepsiCo, and Enron. McKinsey alumni have held positions with Tony Blair's office.

McKinsey's fingerprints can be found at the scene of some of the most spectacular corporate and financial debacles of recent decades.

Over the years McKinsey has been convicted of fraud, theft, corruption and money laundering; business as usual. This firm is a monster - one of three of the largest strategy mgmt consulting firms in the world. Hillary's daughter, Chelsea Clinton was a former employee and Tony Podesta was a McKinsey consultant.
