Kirstie Alley addressed her Scientology faith on Twitter. (Photo: Eric McCandless/ABC via Getty Images)
This is a post I accidentally came across on my blog from 2021. A warning from Kirstie Alley warning of the dangers of pedophilia in Hollywood. She is no longer with us as she supposedly was diagnosed with colon cancer just before she passed.
I think it’s interesting that she was put to cremated and put to rest by the Scientology church. The church claims she was still very active in the Scientology community but it was my understanding that she had split from them in the past. I’m not sure which is true.
I think it’s very interesting that just last year she had taken on the mission of exposing the truth about Hollywood pedophiles and that there are many in Hollywood that are very committed to Scientology. Was she on to something? Did the church of Scientology and/or the Hollywood elites feel the need to silence her voice in order for their secrets to remain hidden?
We may never know however it would only be reasonable to assume that Kirstie coming forward and speaking the truth out about the dark side of Hollywood was not looked on kindly.
Let me be clear… I am in no way accusing anyone of wrongdoing. This was only an observation. Something instantly got my attention and the question immediately came to mind when I came across the article I had posted last year. I actually had completely forgotten about it.
Since I am an advocate and somewhat involved in the sex exploitation and trafficking of children these probabilities are in the forefront of my mind. My instincts kick in automatically and my knowledge tells me that it is plausible that someone might have had a motive to shut her up. Let’s face it, there are some very ugly things that happen in this world and murder for hire in order to silence someone is a common practice in certain situations amongst certain people/groups, etc. It is also likely that her death was exactly like they claim, caused by colon cancer. However, No one will ever know for sure because the church of Scientology cremated her therefore no autopsy is possible. Ironic isn’t it?
Below is the link to the blog post on Kirstie Alley’s article if you are interested in reading it.
Feel free to give feedback and your thoughts in the comments. I’m curious about your thoughts and if anyone has information I might not be aware of.
In his new book, “Cause Unknown: The Epidemic of Sudden Deaths in 2021 and 2022,” former BlackRock fund manager Edward Dowd details data showing the COVID shots are a crime against humanity.
Insurance industry research in 2016 concluded that group life policyholders die at one-third the rate of the general U.S. population, so they’re the healthiest among us. Group life policyholders are those employed with Fortune 500 companies, who tend to be younger and well-educated.
In 2020, the general U.S. population had higher excess mortality than group life holders, but in 2021, that flipped. Ages 25 through 64 of the group life policyholders suddenly experienced 40 percent excess mortality, compared to 32 percent in the general population. In short, a far healthier subset of the population suddenly died at a higher rate than the general population.
American disability statistics are equally revealing. In the five years before COVID, the monthly disability rate was between 29 million and 30 million. After the COVID jabs, the disability trend changed dramatically. As of September 2022, there were 33.2 million disabled Americans – an extra 3.2 million to 4.2 million – a three standard deviation rate of change since May 2021.
Since May 2021, the overall U.S. population has experienced an 11 percent increase in disabilities, while the employed – which is about 98 million out of a total population of about 320 million – experienced 26 percent increased rate of disability. So, something was introduced into the workforce that caused working age people to die.
(Mercola) – In this video, I interview repeat guest Edward (Ed) Dowd, a former analyst and fund manager with BlackRock, the largest asset manager in the world. With more than $10 trillion in assets, BlackRock wields greater financial power than any country in the world with the exception of the U.S. and China.
Dowd has a knack for seeing trends, and was able to grow the assets he managed during his time at BlackRock from $2 billion to $14 billion. Ten years ago, he left BlackRock, moved to Maui, and became an entrepreneur. More recently, he’s come out as a whistleblower against the COVID shots and Big Pharma corruption.
In our last interview, we discussed the mathematical certainty of a financial collapse, and how COVID provided a convenient smoke screen to hide this reality.
Data reveal crimes against humanity
Dowd has now published a book, “Cause Unknown: The Epidemic of Sudden Deaths in 2021 and 2022,” in which he details the data showing the shots are a crime against humanity.
“When this product [the COVID shots] came to market, I was very suspicious because I know a lot about health care” Dowd says. “I was on Wall Street and I used to analyze health care stocks. I knew that normal vaccines took seven to 10 years to prove effectiveness and safety.”
He added:
This was an experimental vaccine, a non-traditional gene therapy that had never been tested on humans. I read the literature on the animal tests and they were an abomination. Then, this thing was approved in 28 days. They got rid of the control group. I knew it was Operation Warp Speed, so I was highly suspicious of this whole thing from the get-go.
Then in early 2021, I started hearing anecdotes that people were getting sick and/or injured, or died, from distant friends and relatives. I started reading about sudden athlete deaths, [and] suspected the vaccine right away. I didn’t have the data that I have now, but I said to myself, ‘You know, I’m going to look at insurance company results, funeral home results.’
That eventually led to excess mortality statistics… I’m known as ‘the excess mortality guy’ right now. What I’ve learned through my own personal experience is that Pharma is, on the whole, mostly fraudulent. Most drugs that have been approved by the FDA [U.S. Food and Drug Administration] aren’t really all that safe and effective.
They have to recall so many drugs every year. The FDA has been wholly captured by the pharma industry. 70 to 75 percent of the drug approval pharma arm of the FDA comes from pharma fees, directly from the companies, so this has been corrupted for a long time.
It’s now exposed primarily because [the COVID shot] is [injuring and killing] such a large amount of people. It’s hard to hide this one… This fraud is unveiled and out there for people to see, but it’s only in the echo chamber. Mainstream media is still beholden to Big Pharma because of all the ad spend and the government policymakers… [who] want this to go away.
There’s a giant cover-up going on as far as I’m concerned. The data that I’m going to talk about today is there for the global health authorities to see. They see what I see, and at this point it’s negligence, malfeasance, a cover-up and a crime.
That’s why I’m here, because I don’t believe anybody has a right to tell me what to do with my body, and I can’t believe this actually happened. The numbers I’m going to reveal to you are now a national security concern.
Group life insurance statistics tell a curious story
Dowd’s concerns are based on a variety of statistics, including but not limited to government mortality and disability data, as well as data from private insurance companies, such as group life insurance data. As explained by Dowd, group life policies are policies given to large Fortune 500 corporations and mid-sized companies.
Basically, when you start to work at one of these companies, you sign onto a policy from day one that includes a health care plan and life insurance plan (death benefit), which is typically one or two times your annual salary. The only way you can get a claim on these policies is if you die while employed. If you quit or get fired, you don’t get this claim.
I don’t need to tell you that there’s a problem. You can see what’s happening with your own eyes. Over the past year or so, there has been a strangely large number of healthy, young people who are “dying suddenly.” These poor people are dropping like flies at an alarming rate. At first, stories of young, healthy people “dying suddenly” were peppered here and there, but now, there are so many of these stories, that I can’t keep up with them. And just imagine how many of these “sudden deaths” aren’t being talked about in the media.
Scary thought.
Well, it’s gotten so bad, that people are now taking notice and talking about the “Died Suddenly” phenomenon. And one of those people is a former BlackRock fund manager who has poured through the data and what he found, is startling.
Lifestite reported that in his new book, “Cause Unknown: The Epidemic of Sudden Deaths in 2021 and 2022,” former BlackRock fund manager Edward Dowd details data showing the COVID shots are a crime against humanity.
Insurance industry research in 2016 concluded that group life policyholders die at one-third the rate of the general U.S. population, so they’re the healthiest among us. Group life policyholders are those employed with Fortune 500 companies, who tend to be younger and well-educated.

So, something was introduced into the workforce that caused working age people to die.
Edward Dowd goes on to say:

Flashback: Fauci’s NIH funded experiments on AIDS orphans in New York City
Incarnation Children’s Center (ICC) “began testing drugs on its orphan population in 1992
byWorldTribuneStaff, October 26, 2021
Dr. Anthony Fauci’s National Institutes of Health (NIH) approved drug trial experiments on hundreds of AIDS orphans in New York City. Over 200 of the orphans died during or after the experiments, according to Liam Scheff, the investigative reporter who broke the story.
Scheff said his investigation found that the NIH and Columbia Presbyterian Hospital acted unethically.
The Associated Press reported in June 2005: “The government has concluded at least some AIDS drug experiments involving foster children violated federal rules designed to ensure vulnerable youths were protected from the risks of medical research.”
Fauci was the NIH AIDS Coordinator before being appointed as the first Director of the Office of AIDS research when the office was established in 1988. He served in that capacity until 1994. Fauci became director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) in 1984 and still holds that position.
Scheff reported several deaths in children at the ICC during the drug trials, adding that “although the mainstream denied that any deaths were due to drug toxicity, they admit that over 200 children died.”
In 2005, the City of New York hired the VERA Institute to produce a final report on the drug trials. VERA was given no access to medical records for any of the children used in trials. Their report was published in 2008.
VERA reported that 25 children died during the drug studies, that an additional 55 children died following the studies (in foster care), and, according to Tim Ross, Director of the Child Welfare program at VERA (as of 2009), 29 percent of the remaining 417 children who were used in drug studies had died (out of a total 532 children that are admitted to have been used).
No payment or compensation was ever paid to any of the children used in the trials, or to their families, Scheff noted.
Many of the drugs (like AZT and its analogues) that were used in the experiments on the AIDS orphans in New York City had previously been approved for use in adults and “evidenced life-threatening and fatal toxicities,” Scheff reported. “So why put a drug with severe recorded toxicities into a population of black and Hispanic orphans?”
Scheff noted: “Incarnation’s orphans live at the bottom of the American class system. Often the children of drug users, they were born into ill health and poverty. Additionally (and like all AIDS patients), these children were, because of their HIV status, written off as a loss by the medical authority, before they even got a chance to live.”
Anthony Fauci
Why wasn’t Fauci’s NIH interested in competitive AIDS research?
“That’s the billion-dollar question,” Scheff noted. “That is, if inexpensive micronutrients and competitive disease and treatment models prove more successful than the current research, it will represent a loss of billions for the AIDS drug and research industry.”
Sunlight is the best disinfectant – unless you’re Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman Gary Gensler – who scrubbed evidence of a meeting with former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton from his calendar, along with key details of a meeting with Billionaire leftist-operative George Soros.
He also concealed September 21 meetings with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and former Bill Clinton White House official-turned-DC consultant, Minyon Moore.
Gensler, a former Goldman Sachs executive, Obama administration official, Clinton’s 2016 campaign CFO, and FTX associate, essentially had two calendars. His public calendar showed that on Aug. 7, 2021, he only had a staff meeting, while his private calendar lists a meeting with Hillary Clinton, Fox Newsreports.
Thirteen days later on Aug. 20, 2021, Gensler’s public calendar does list a meeting with Soros, but the agenda was hidden. His private calendar reveals that the meeting was held to discuss an upcoming WSJ op-ed Soros was planning to write in which he slammed BlackRock for launching investment products for Chinese customers, while also applauding the company’s ESG policies.
Gensler’s private calendar revealing the discrepancies was obtained by the watchdog group Energy Policy Advocates and shared with Fox News Digital. The group was only able to obtain the internal records after filing a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit against the SEC.
In recent days, around the time Fox News Digital contacted the SEC, the agency updated Gensler’s public calendar to include his meeting with Clinton in August 2021. As recently as Wednesday the public calendar didn’t include the meeting, and archived copies of the webpage from April also list just a meeting with staff. -Fox News
When contacted for comment, the SEC initially lied – saying that the Clinton meeting was visible on Gensler’s public calendar. When confronted with screenshots to the contrary, the spokesperson said that the agency updates calendars “from time to time” when inaccuracies are discovered (by watchdog groups?).
Gensler also concealed several September 2021 meetings with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), and Minyon Moore – both of which have been now updated on Gensler’s public calendar.
Nancy Pelosi
“That even George Soros is calling out progressive darling BlackRock for craven blundering is striking — even if it did carry the requisite, tribal praise for BlackRock’s truly damaging ‘ESG’ (environmental, social and governance) campaigning to impose their shared ‘climate’ agenda on the U.S., an agenda also much to China’s delight,” said Chris Horner, a lawyer representing Energy Policy Advocates. “That it appears Soros received counsel from Gary Gensler on the mega-donor’s call for more SEC powers as a result is truly astonishing.”
This gives further credence to the widespread concern that Gensler is deeply politicizing a supposedly independent commission,” he continued. “He may have been Hillary Clinton’s ‘Progressive Beacon’ not long ago, but Gary Gensler is now the SEC chairman, and his calendar indicates he knew the purpose of the meeting. It seems important to know whose idea this was, why, what was said arranging it and through what channel.”
According to the SEC spokesperson, Gensler has never asked anyone to ‘draft or submit’ an op-ed, but declined to comment on the meeting with Soros.
Gensler has faced heavy criticism from business groups and Republican lawmakers for pushing progressive policies,including a climate disclosure rule that would require publicly traded companies to share carbon emissions data and other climate information.
Reps. Bill Huizenga, R-Mich., and Andy Barr, R-Ky., two top GOP members on the House Financial Services Committee, introduced legislation this month that would limit the SEC’s ability to require such climate disclosures. -Fox News
“That this and Gensler’s consultation with Hillary were scrubbed from the public version of his calendar is frankly the least surprising aspect of this,” Horner continued. “The SEC first told Energy Policy Advocates that the publicly posted calendars were all they would get.”
“Energy Policy Advocates challenged that, pointing out that these sanitized versions, typically posted months after the fact, were certainly not produced from memory and the group wanted the originals.Here you see the reason for the scrubbing these internal versions receive.“
What exactly does it mean that everyone has a constitutional right to a speedy trial in the United States? How do judges determine whether or not a prosecution happened quickly enough? People often win or lose cases based on the argument that they were not given a speedy trial.
The reason for the delay matters as much as the length of the delay. If the trial was delayed on unreasonable grounds, the case may be thrown out.
Where in the Constitution is the Right to a Quick Trial Stipulated?
The sixth amendment explicitly states that a trial has to happen quickly. It says that “the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury.” As a trial cannot be unreasonably delayed, charges may have to be dropped if a suspect argues that their sixth amendment rights were violated.
The 6th amendment is contained within the Bill of Rights rather than the original constitution. It is a series of amendments that protect people from the state, including unjust laws. The Bill of Rights (1791) includes some of the most famous elements of the constitution, including freedom of speech and the right to bear arms.
Trials Were Less Professional in the Past
Trials in the eighteenth century were very different from their modern day equivalent. They were much shorter and often had the accusers and accused representing themselves instead of availing of legal counsel.
Modern trials are more complex than those held in the early days of the Republic.
Participants argued their cases and called witnesses. Sometimes, proceedings were completed in a few hours or even minutes. Long and formal modern trials slowly replaced these.
Since the Bill of Rights was written when trials were less complicated than they are today, a “speedy trial” might not mean the same as it did at the time. However, an accused criminal can still walk free if they have a strong argument that their trial was unjustly delayed.
What Makes a Trial Count as Speedy?
A criminal case cannot always be brought to a conclusion quickly. Often, it takes considerable time to gather all of the evidence, witnesses, and legal professionals that will appear in court. Whether or not a trial was speedy is subjective and depends on the case’s specific circumstances.
However, some states have a time limit. In Colorado, a trial must be held within six months of someone pleading not guilty. Depending on the state, the time limit can either be several months or subjective.
Six Months is Not an Exact Time Limit
Some exceptions make it acceptable to have a trial more than six months after the not guilty plea in Colorado. If the defense or the prosecution needs even more time than that to gather evidence and witnesses, the trial can be postponed.
Colorado also allows a trial to be delayed by more than six months if it is a mistrial or if the defendant cannot appear on that date. In other words, judges do not decide whether or not sixth amendment rights were violated based on how many months it took to bring the case to trial.
What Else Determines if a Trial Was Unjustly Delayed?
If the basis for the delay was reasonable, the accused can’t claim their rights were denied. If there is something malicious about why their trial was delayed, they can win their case.
A trial could have been delayed deliberately as a strategy by the opposing legal team. A trial can also be delayed due to negligence. These are reasons to dismiss a case.
How long the delay was is also relevant, as is whether or not the delay weakened the defense in any way. If a defendant wants to make a speedy trial case, their best chance is to repeatedly point out how long the case is taking early on.
Why Does the Constitution Require a Speedy Trial?
Firstly, worrying about the verdict of a case is incredibly stressful. Anyone who has been in legal trouble before knows that it is exhausting. Someone charged with a crime, especially if innocent, deserves to have the trial over with quickly.
Trials can impose undue hardships on their participants.
Being in legal trouble can cause other problems besides stress and anxiety. Friends, spouses, parents, children, and sometimes employer can find out about such legal issues. A person’s relationships can be detrimentally affected by being taken to court.
Imprisonment While Awaiting Trial
Waiting for a trial is similar to punishment, especially in cases where the accused is subject to pretrial confinement. Frequently, after a criminal charge has been made, the accused has to be kept in jail for the safety of others.
However, it is unethical to keep a potentially innocent person in jail for a protracted period. A trial must be reasonably quick so that an innocent defendant can be released from custody and return to everyday life.
It May Be Harder to Prove Guilt or Innocence Years Later
It may also be more difficult to locate witnesses a year rather than a month after a crime was committed. After a lengthy delay, witnesses may not remember events as clearly and offer conflicting testimony. Also, physical evidence can have a limited lifespan.
Many parts of the Bill of Rights say that the law has to be fair – the juries must be impartial, that trials must be public, that punishments cannot be too cruel. These constitutional amendments even forbid exorbitant fines. Making it illegal to excessively delay a trial is congruent with the rest of what the constitution says about criminal justice.
What Can a Victim of a Delayed Trial Do?
A victim of a delayed trial might, at best, have all of their charges dropped. People often escape conviction if the case is thrown out because their rights were infringed upon. Usually, prosecutors are not allowed to re-file the charges.
Even in a state with a clear deadline, such as six months in Colorado, it can be tricky to win a case. If someone can point to a clear deadline before the trial occurred, they may have a chance.
Opposing counsel will argue that they had a legitimate reason to delay the trial. However, lawyers can argue that the prosecution found evidence slowly for no good reason and that the trial was unjustly delayed.
Statutes of Limitation Also Prevent Justice From Being Delayed
It is not always possible to charge someone with a crime that happened many years ago. Each crime has a statute of limitations, and if the person is not charged before it runs out, they cannot be indicted. This means that there is a limit on how long the prosecution can gather witnesses and evidence.
Statutes of limitation can impact trials in different ways.
The statute of limitations for different crimes varies, with more serious crimes having a longer time limit. For some serious crimes, there is no statute of limitations. It is not unusual for and individual to be convicted of a murder that happened decades ago, for example.
Do People Get Away With Crimes Because of These Time Limits?
These laws may be too lenient on some offenders. For instance, while Florida has no statute of limitations for felonies that might lead to a life sentence, second-degree murder has a maximum sentence of thirty years. A murderer could get escape justice because the statute of limitations ran out for that crime.
Usually, second-degree murder has no statute of limitations. Other violent crimes like kidnapping often have no statute of limitations.
The point of these time limits is that evidence may be lost, and people may not accurately remember events that happened so long ago. A trial that happens a decade later may not be fair. This is balanced against the argument that a very serious crime should be punished no matter when it was committed.
Speedy Trial Rights are Not the Same
The right to a speedy trial applies to the time between the beginning of criminal proceedings and the trial. This is different from statutes of limitations. They forbid an excessive delay between when the criminal offense was committed and when charges are filed.
Is the Right to a Speedy Trial Also to Protect Victims?
The right to a speedy trial only protects people accused of crimes, not the victims of crimes. The victim of a crime may want the trial to happen sooner rather than later.
However, they cannot insist on a quick criminal trial and say that it is legally necessary. The 6th amendment of the United States Constitution does not allow the victim to insist on a speedy trial.
Can Victims Insist on a Quick Trial?
However, legislators have raised this issue, and some states now give victims the right to a speedy trial. When considering how long a trial can be delayed, the courts must consider whether it would hurt the victim to delay it.
Even if the defendant and prosecutor agree on a delay, the victim may have the right to a quick trial. Some states require courts to prioritize cases where children or elderly people are victims because a delayed trial can be more hurtful for these people.
Quick Trials Allow Courts to Move on to Other Important Cases
Another reason why trials have to happen quickly is that the courts can only deal with so many cases at a time. If one case drags on for too long, this can interfere with other cases being completed. A congested court system is a threat to justice.
The unabashed political persecution and unconscionable years of pre-trial incarceration for some January 6thprotestors in direct violation of the Sixth Amendment. The near-psychotic obsession to indict and convict Donald Trump of any specious federal crime. The admission by the FBI that they instructed social media companies prior to the 2020 election to censor stories unfavorable to Joe Biden. These actions, among many others over the years, have confirmed that the Department of Justice is teeming with politicized prosecutors and a federal police force that is allied with one political party and is browbeating the citizenry on their behalf.
No Republican president or Congress will succeed in stopping this nation’s relentless march toward one-party tyranny as long as the Department of Justice, which has been systematically weaponized since its formation in 1870, continues to exist as part of the Executive Branch.
The Founders of this nation would never have agreed to the creation of the Department of Justice. They were extraordinarily skeptical of a large federal government and adamantly opposed to a federal law enforcement role.
Except for treason, the concept of federal crimes was not even mentioned in the Constitution. The Founders had a fear of America turning into a tyrannical government. They understood that the creation of a federal law enforcement department would almost certainly be politicized and in due course deny American citizens their unalienable rights.
This is why neither the Constitution, the ratification debates, nor the Federalist Papers ever mentioned anything about a law enforcement role. In Federalist No. 45, James Madison specifically singles out “internal order” as an enumerated “power” that “is reserved to the several states.”
For the next eight-one years Congress refused to create a Department of Justice. Instead, they often passed legislation that assigned specific and limited legal functions to officials in various departments rather than place inordinate power in the hands of one person (the attorney general) and department.
However, in 1870, a bill to consolidate legal functions and create a Department of Justice was passed and the Justice Department was born. In 1908 the Department of Justice established the Bureau of Investigation and in 1935 renamed it the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The 1980 Federal Bureau of Investigation Charter Act codified the FBI as a de facto federal police force.
Today the Department of Justice is a colossus with over 117,000 employees spending in excess of $46 Billion per year with its tentacles in virtually every aspect of American life.
The legal justification for all this is that Congress has created over 4,500 federal crimes in the U.S. Code and more than 300,000 federal crimes dispersed throughout 110,000 final rules(regulations) in the Federal Register.
This gives unscrupulous prosecutors and their staffs a near-endless source of arcane crimes to choose from in pursuing vendettas or political agendas. The mere threat this represents has enabled the coercion of social and legacy media companies into censoring speech, corporations to do the bidding of the administration in power, and religious institutions to abandon their principles.
As the Founders feared, the Department of Justice, within a few decades of its formation, was politicized and acquiescent to the whims and demands of the head of the Executive Branch — the president.
Woodrow Wilson used the Justice Department to illegally harass and prosecute thousands of peaceful opponents of his policies and entry into World War 1.
In 1956 the Justice Department authorized the FBI to initiate a program (COINTELPRO) to disrupt the activities of the U.S. Communist Party. In 1961 the Kennedy-Johnson administration expanded it to track, discredit, and destabilize any administration-defined dissident groups in the U.S. These included civil rights organizations as well as Martin Luther King.
Waco Massacre. In 1993, seventy-six Americans (including twenty-six children) were burned to death because the Justice Department “believed” there were unauthorized weapons in the compound. There were no consequences for anyone in the Clinton Justice Department, thus permanently emboldening the then and future occupants of the department into believing they were untouchable.
During the Obama years the weaponization of the Justice Department was greatly accelerated. First, was the de facto takeover of local police forces through coerced consent decrees. Second, was the premeditated shakedown of corporations through unjustified deferred-prosecution agreements in order to funnel enormous sums of money into left-wing organizations. Third, an unprecedented domestic terrorism division was created in in order to surveil and prosecute those “motivated by any viewpoint on the full spectrum of hate” including unspecified anti-government views.
The Obama Justice Department also massively accelerated the use of embedded FBI informants and agents to entrap and prosecute Americansthey had induced into contemplating but not committing a federal crime. In violation of the First Amendment they prosecuted and spied on journalists. The insidious Trump-Russia Collusion hoax was abetted and executed by the Obama Justice Department.
The Biden Justice Department has continued the precedents of the Obama administration by categorizing and selectively prosecuting as “domestic terrorists” anyone who disagrees with the policies of the administration or the legitimacy of the 2020 election. They also executed an unprecedented invasion of a former president’s residence using the pretext of the Presidential Records Act which does not contain criminal penalties.
It is no coincidence that all the above occurred during Democrat administrations as the Democrat Party has a long history of tyrannical proclivities. No Republican other than Richard Nixon has overtly attempted to politicize the Department of Justice, and Nixon failed in his attempt as department loyalty was with the Democrat Party.
This reality is further borne out by the fact that during the last three election cycles (2016, 2018 and 2020) nearly 88% of all political contributions by Department of Justice employees went to Democrat candidates.
The Justice Department’s politicization and autocratic mindset is too entrenched to be reined in by cosmetic changes to its current structure or personnel. As the Democrat Party’s primary weapon in transforming the nation, the only option at this point is the following two-step strategy if this rogue department is to return to its original purpose.
First, legislation has to be passed to force a review of all laws and regulations with the goal of cutting by at least two-thirds the absurd number of federal crimes. John Baker, a retired Louisiana State law professor: “There is no one in the United States over the age of 18 who cannot be indicted for some federal crime.” A lesson not lost on Justice Department prosecutors and the hierarchy of the Democrat Party in their Captain Ahab-like obsession and fixation on indicting and convicting Donald Trump of any conceivable “crime.”
Second, the office of Attorney General and the Department of Justice were created by acts of Congress, and another act of Congress, therefore, can alter the department’s position and status as well as change the terms and manner of its operation.
This act would make the Department of Justice an independent agency reporting to Congress.The president would nominate for a six-year term an attorney general subject to a three-fifths vote of the Senate. The attorney general would report and be subject to Congress through a select committee made up of eight members, equally divided between Republicans and Democrats, four from the House and four from the Senate. The attorney general would nominate the solicitor general, deputy, and associate and assistant attorneys general, as well U.S. attorneys subject to Senate approval.The director of the FBI would be nominated by the attorney general for a six-year term subject to a three-fifths vote of the Senate. The FBI would be restructured by transferring to the individual states investigations of federal crimes that occur within that state. The FBI would then act in a consulting, resource, and coordination role. It would be the lead investigating agency in investigating interstate federal crimes.While the complexities of 21st-century America rule out the possibility of eliminating the Department of Justice, these changes would begin the transformation of the department to its intended mission: the equal enforcement of federal law without political bias or presidential interference. But it requires a Republican Congress and a president with spine and fortitude, neither of which are in ample supply today. Unless that changes, the Democrat Party will succeed in establishing a one-party tyranny utilizing their primary weapon, the intimidation and ruthlessness of a politicized and weaponized Department of Justice.

WASHINGTON – Although Ukraine has requested that the United States provide them with cluster munitions, the Biden administration says that it is “concerned” over the use of ‘those kinds’ of munitions. The UN says that both Russia and Ukraine have used cluster munitions in the war, mostly in populated areas.
Although cluster munitions are internationally banned through the 2008 Convention on Cluster Munitions, the United States never officially took part in signing it, and the U.S. Department of Defense has said that cluster munitions provide a ‘vital military capability.
Despite being in favor of using them, the United States hasn’t used the munitions in combat since the 2003 invasion of Iraq, except for a single attack using them in Yemen in 2009, according to the Human Rights Watchorganization.
There have been many reports that Russia has allegedly used cluster munitions during its invasion of Ukraine, and that it has led to a growing number of civilian casualties.
Ukraine Has Already Used Cluster Munitions
According to Multiple Reports, Ukraine has already used cluster munitions in its war with Russia. UN reports also Document cases where Russia has used them.
A report by the United Nations news agency said, “Ukrainian forces had also reportedly used cluster munitions several times, the group said, which found that the weapons had been mostly used in populated areas.”
It also reported, “Specifically, deployment of cluster munitions in Ukraine have killed 215 civilians and injured 474. The report further indicated a 302 percent increase in victims, since 2020.”
And added, “Jeff Meer, US Executive Director of Humanity & Inclusion, in reference to cluster munitions in Ukraine, noted that, “they also damaged healthcare facilities, factories, and homes.”
What Are Cluster Munitions, Or Bombs And Why Are They Banned Internationally?
Cluster munitions are either air-dropped or ground-launched explosives that release (or eject) smaller bombs that eject bomblets designed to kill personnel on the ground, or render vehicles unusable, killing the occupants.
The bomblets get dispersed within a wide area, and some fail to initially explode, causing them to be a hazard to military personnel or civilians in the area long after they are launched, or even after the conflict, or war that they are used in is over.
Due to the fact that they are dispersed over such a wide area, and how long unexploded munitions remain on the ground, they tend to cause a high number of child fatalities.
Why Does Ukraine Want Cluster Munitions?
Ukraine has asked the United States to provide cluster munitions in order to “turn the tables” on Russia. It is seeking 155-mm dual-purpose improved conventional munitions (DPICMs) filled with M42 and M46 dual-purpose grenades.
M42 and M46 dual-purpose grenades are capable of punching through 2.5-inch thick armor and then fragmenting and taking out personnel in the attack area.
