[MAIL] Deutsche Bank has agreed to pay $75 million to settle a proposed class-action lawsuit alleging the German bank facilitated the late Jeffrey Epstein's sex-trafficking ring, according attorneys for the plaintiffs.
The suit was filed last year in New York by a woman listed in court filings as Jane Doe 1 on behalf of herself and other accusers, alleging Deutsche Bank did business with Epstein for five years despite knowing he was engaged in sex-trafficking.
Deutsche Bank did not admit wrongdoing as part of the settlement, a person familiar with the matter told DailyMail.com late on Wednesday.
The plaintiffs' lawyers, from the law firms Boies Schiller Flexner and Edwards Pottinger, said they believed the $75 million settlement was the largest sex-trafficking settlement involving a banking institution.

Did you notice how many Doug Bands Office of William J. Clinton (President Clinton ) entries there were... I counted something like 28 trips people he had Epstein service for Bill Clinton.
I guess Blackmail and Sex services are ways to keep your Liberal & Hollywood supporters in line.
[MSN] A historical marker dedicated to a feminist and labor activist in New Hampshire who also led the Communist Party was removed Monday just two weeks after it was unveiled.
The green and white sign describing the life of Elizabeth Gurley Flynn was installed May 1 in Concord close to where she was born in 1890. But it quickly drew criticism from two Republican members of the Executive Council, the five-member body that approves state contracts, judicial nominees and other positions. They argued it was inappropriate given Flynn’s communist involvement. Republican Gov. Chris Sununu, meanwhile, called for a review of the historical marker process.
“All polices and guidelines were followed in removing this controversial marker,” said Sununu's spokesperson, Ben Vihstadt. He said Concord city officials weren't advocating to keep it, and once state officials realized it was on state property and not city land as previously believed, the state removed it.
But supporters of the sign accused the state of violating its own rules for the markers. They argued markers can only be “retired” if they contain errors of fact, are in a state of disrepair or require refurbishment.
“We still say that under the department’s own guidelines, Elizabeth Gurley Flynn’s birthplace in Concord is a fitting location for a historical marker,” said Mary Lee Sargent, a former U.S. history teacher and longtime labor and feminist activist.
Known as “The Rebel Girl” for her fiery speeches, Flynn was a founder of the American Civil Liberties Union who advocated for women’s voting rights and access to birth control. The marker also says she joined the Communist Party in 1936 and was sent to prison in 1951. She was one of many party members prosecuted “under the notorious Smith Act,” the marker says, which forbade any attempts to advocate, abet or teach the violent destruction of the U.S. government.
Flynn later chaired the Communist Party of the United States and she died in Moscow during a visit in 1964, at age 74. Her marker was one of 278 across the state that describe people and places — from Revolutionary War soldiers to contemporary sports figures.
Under the current process, any person, municipality or agency can suggest a marker as long as they get 20 signatures from New Hampshire residents. Supporters must draft the marker’s text and provide footnotes and copies of supporting documentation, according to the state Division of Historical Resources. The division and a historical resources advisory group evaluate the criteria.

Flynn Flynn died in the USSR in September 1964, age 74. The Soviets gave Flynn a state funeral in Red Square. Over 25,000 people attended. Her body was flown to the US where she was buried at Chicago's Waldheim Cemetery, near the graves of Marxists Eugene Dennis, Bill Haywood, Emma Goldman, and Haymarket Riot "Martyrs."
[IsraelTimes] Organization pushing resolution nationwide to declare April 29 ’End Jew Hatred Day,’ but viewed with suspicion by progressives for roots in conservative activism.
Last month, Colorado Gov. Jared Polis, a Jewish Democrat, proclaimed April 29 "End Jew Hatred Day," citing "an urgent need to act against antisemitism in Colorado and across the country."
Similar proclamations came from New York Rep. Mike Lawler, a Republican, and dozens of other elected officials nationwide.

...The fella in the very fist pic - Gus Herring - has an interesting story. He worked for Octave Chanute and Samuel Langley, and can be reasonably said to have done some pioneering work in aircraft engineering.
Trouble is that about five years before the Wrights flew, he asked Chanute to come watch him fly a compressed-air powered aircraft...which didn't work. He always claimed later that he had people witness him flying a couple of days later, but was never able to produce the witnesses and, more importantly, was never able to fly again. He also claimed to have patented a flyable aircraft, but the patent never existed.
He kept at it and was eventually hired by Glenn Curtiss - but likely not for any particular skill but rather because Curtiss was fighting the Wrights in court and was desperate to prove that the Wrights hadn't flown first. If he could prove somebody else had (using Herring's claims and with the help of the Smithsonian, butchering Langley's airframe) then he would avoid a monster payout to the Wrights. Herring left Curtiss after a couple years and later sued him for stealing his design and engineering work. Believe it or not, Herring's reputation was still sufficient to get him a job with the Army after WWI.
He died not long after the war, but his widow kept the lawsuit against Curtiss (now Curtiss Wright) going...and won it in the early 30s. Ever since, that lawsuit victory has been used by Wright deniers (and man, there's a lot of them) to claim that the Wrights didn't fly first - it was Gus Herring.

[BREITBART] Sixty thousand pounds of ammonium nitrate, used as a fertilizer but also in explosives, are missing from a rail shipment that was due to arrive in California from Wyoming.
Bay Area public radio station KQED reported Tuesday:
A railcar loaded with 30 tons of the chemical left Cheyenne, Wyoming, on April 12. The car was found to be empty after it arrived two weeks later at a rail stop in the Mojave Desert, according to a short incident report from the explosives firm that made the shipment.
The company, Dyno Nobel, made the report May 10 to the federal National Response Center, or NRC. The report also appeared last week in an NRC database of California incidents managed by the state office of Emergency Services last Wednesday.
Dyno Nobel says it believes the material — transported in pellet form in a covered hopper car similar to those used to ship coal — fell from the car on the way to a rail siding called Saltdale, about 30 miles from the town of Mojave in eastern Kern County.Ammonium nitrate was the explosive in the massive bomb used in the Oklahoma City terror attack of 1995. It was also the substance that caused a deadly explosion in a warehouse in the port of Beirut, Lebanon, in 2020.
Foul play is not suspected yet, but the loss of a hazardous chemical is just the latest rail problem in the past several months. In February, a train carrying toxic chemicals derailed in East Palestine, Ohio, eventually leading to a massive explosion that spread potentially hazardous substances to the surrounding community.

Massive BS explanation, and Cal OES is also the State Homeland Security Agency, directly linked into the National Fusion Centers/NCTC/IC and the JTTFs.

[Heartlander] While it’s bad enough the debunked dossier the FBI used to spy on the Trump campaign was paid for by the Clinton campaign and authored by a foreign FBI informant and his carousing researcher, the newly released report of Special Counsel John Durham strongly suggests a top Justice Department official and his wife had an early hand in shaping the political rumor sheet.
According to the 306-page report, former Justice Department prosecutor Bruce Ohr’s wife Nellie Ohr first plowed the ground for the dossier with a series of research reports she wrote for Fusion GPS, the D.C.-based opposition research firm the Clinton campaign commissioned to dig up dirt on Trump and Russia.
Obtained by Durham, her reports zeroed in on Sergei Millian and his connections to Russia and Trump, falsely portraying him as a key intermediary between the Kremlin and the Republican candidate. They would later provide the foundation for the dossier’s many fictions.
"Fusion GPS records demonstrate that Nellie Ohr first identified Millian," Durham states in his report. "All told, Ohr prepared at least 12 reports that discussed Sergei Millian."
She wrote her first Millian report in April 2016, the month before Fusion GPS hired former British intelligence officer Christopher Steele to put his imprimatur as a supposed former "spy" and "Russian insider" on the dossier. Nellie Ohr, the Ray Epps of Crossfire Hurricane.

Just a bit too obvious. Many knew she was Klingon-Clinton soiled at the time. Too many Russia-DoS connections, writer-researcher, RU travel, RU linguist, contacts, etc. Some suspected her role in 5 minutes. Durham investigation and eventual gov't discovery took over 4 years.
The 'Memory Hole' simply couldn't keep this one down.
