"It's completely changed my belief in fairness," says Amy Sterner Nelson.

Carl Nelson and Amy Sterner Nelson's pre-pandemic lives look a lot different than the ones they live now. There are the obvious ways, and then there are the not so obvious ways, like the fact that they sold their house and their car, liquidated their retirement funds, and moved their family of six from a comfortable West Seattle home to Amy's sister's basement after the FBI seized almost $1 million from them in May 2020. Amy tells me:
"We went from living a life where we were both working full-time to provide for our four daughters to really figuring out how we were going to make it month to month. It's completely changed my belief in fairness."
The bureau took funds from nearly every corner of the Nelsons' world, including, for instance, the savings Amy racked up from her decade as a practicing attorney and her later efforts as head of The Riveter, the co-working start-up she founded. But the FBI never even suspected Amy of committing any crime. It was Carl they were investigating — a probe that has not resulted in a single charge against him almost two years later.

Following increasing action from police over the weekend to stifle freedom protests that have been ongoing in Ottawa for weeks, families of those who have participated in the demonstrations are reporting issues banking.

According to CTV reporter Mackenzie Gray, senior police sources told CTV chief news anchor Graham Richardson that they were looking to "break the back" of the protest Saturday, and that family members of some convoy participants have reported difficulties in banking due to familial ties to the protest.

The activist said the truckers' movement is like a "boa constrictor" coming to "squeeze" the US capital

One of the people behind the American Freedom Convoy revealed to Fox News on Monday that the truckers are planning to besiege the US capital, squeezing it like a "boa constrictor."

Bob Bolus said the protesters' main gripe was vaccine mandates, and to make the US government ditch those, the Convoy planned to "circle Washington DC" much like a "giant boa constrictor," which, as he put it, "squeezes you, chokes you, and then swallows you." The activist went on to warn "that's what we're going to do to DC."

Responding to the recall of three progressive members from her city's school board, San Francisco mayor London Breed said the voter backlash shows the panel lost sight of its main priority: educating children.

"In this particular case, the board neglected their primary responsibility to focus on other things, other things that are important, but not as significant as what they were there to do and that is to educate children," Breed said on NBC's Meet the Press.

Parents had grown frustrated with the board's preoccupation with its political agenda over its students, such its push to rename 44 schools in the district to be more social justice friendly, while schools still remained closed to in-person learning. Schools only resumed classroom teaching full-time last August.

Comment: Samples of the lunacy that occupied the San Francisco School Board:

FILE PHOTO: The Metropolitan Police have been hit by 'decade-high' sexual offence accusations against officers after 'claims doubled in the year' since Sarah Everard was brutally murdered
The Metropolitan Police have been hit by 'decade-high' sexual offence accusations against officers after 'claims doubled in the year' since Sarah Everard was brutally murdered.

New figures show that 251 Met officers or staff have been accused of sexual assault, sexual harassment and other sexual offences in the last year.

The majority of those accused have been male members of the force, amounting to 87 per cent of the accusations, and include 190 claims made internally by staff - a 104 per cent rise since 2020.

According to Freedom of Information figures obtained by The Telegraph, 'dozens' of those who have been accused of sexual misconduct held the rank of sergeant or above and just 11 out of the 217 were charged of offences last year.

Comment: As above, so below; the last few decades have demonstrated that the UK establishment is clearly riddled with corruption, from parliamentary covers ups of high level paedophile rings, to the increasingly totalitarian state apparatus, facilitated by a body of compromised and character disturbed individuals, and so it comes as no surprise that those occupying the lower levels reflect the same qualities as their masters at the top: Also check out SOTT radio's:

A convenience store clerk who killed himself minutes after he shot a customer who refused to wear a mask and walked out without paying for three bags of chips earlier this month would have faced criminal charges if he had survived, a police report says.

The Feb. 6 shootings on the northwest edge of Las Vegas came four days before Gov. Steve Sisolak lifted Nevada's COVID-19 mask mandate.

The 36-year-old cashier at the Terrible's gas station/store was pronounced dead at the scene because of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head, police said.

The 26-year-old customer's ex-girlfriend took him to a nearby hospital, where he was treated for a gunshot wound to the shoulder and later released, police said.

Officers interviewed him at the hospital,, and a witness at the scene corroborated his account of the incident.

Police were called to the scene at West Centennial Center Boulevard near U.S. Highway 95 at about 8:30 a.m. Feb. 6.

CDC quietly lowers early childhood speech standards

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has quietly changed their standards for early childhood development, as the effects of pandemic policies on children's development, from speech to reading to other basics, becomes increasingly more apparent.

Earlier this month, the CDC announced that new checklist ages for its important milestone lists were added. These new ages added were 15 and 30 months.

The update banner at the top of the page points those interested in the updates to the developmental milestones to a Pediatrics article outlining the research conducted that resulted in the change.

Comment: It's an absolute travesty what masking and lockdowns have done to developing children. It's little wonder agencies like the CDC would be making efforts to hide the decline.

Russian politicians might include radical feminism and the child-free movement on internet blacklists.

Russian senators have proposed a bill to make content promoting the feminist and childfree movements completely illegal, in a bid to stop so-called "radical" material from being posted online.

Senator Margarita Pavlova, one of the bill's authors, told RIA Novosti that lawmakers in the country's upper house of parliament were working on expanding the list of banned subject matter and intended to include radical feminist material and content promoting voluntary childlessness among the prohibited topics.
