NEW YORK (AP) — A U.S. judge was set Tuesday to question one of the jurors who convicted the British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of helping the millionaire Jeffrey Epstein sexually abuse teenage girls.
Maxwell’s lawyers say the verdict should be thrown out over the juror’s apparent failure to disclose before the trial began that he’d been a victim of childhood sexual abuse.
U.S. Judge Alison J. Nathan intends to ask the juror why he failed to note his personal history on a questionnaire during the jury selection process.
Maxwell’s lawyers potentially could have objected to the man’s presence on the jury on the grounds that he might not be fair to a person accused of a similar crime.

that he might not be fair to a person accused of a similar crime.
And that's modern law for you. Written by demons, meant to serve demons, protected and glorified by fools. If they really wanted justice in those courts they'd allow only victims in juries.
[BaltimoreSun] Hundreds of trucks, cars and SUVs protesting the government’s response to the coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague) ...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men... pandemic circled the Capital Beltway on Monday for a second day as the group announced that it secured a meeting in Washington with two senators.
Organizer Brian Brase said that the group, which began its demonstration Sunday with two loops around the Beltway, has no plans to take the protest beyond the highway but acknowledged that there’s a faction of the convoy that wants to head into the nation’s capital. Authorities said traffic disruptions Monday were minimal and there were no reports of convoy-related incidents during the group’s single loop of the 64-mile Beltway.

Seems to me the media has done an effective job not covering the Peoples Convoy.
That is indeed a ‘Barguzin’ train carrying nuclear missiles. It looks to me Russia is rising the stakes again. Instead of joking here you should better start to think about what this implies.

...That appears - stress the 'appears' - to be a positively ancient armored train, definitely no nukes. My guess would be that since the Ukranians are whacking rail nodes, one of these relics would come in kind of handy.
And no, Mr. Van Aken, it's not a nuke train. If it was, the nice folks taking the video wouldn't have lasted long enough to tweet it.

An invading force bent on seizing resources and subjugating a population....uses armored trains to solve a logistical challenge? What a novel idea.
#12
The Russians have an excellent rail network. But they don't have excellent unit logistics. They have too few support trucks per fighting unit. So they are stuck moving forward 200km and then have to pause to build up a forward supply base for a week or two. Rinse and repeat.
Combined with crappy maintenance, iffy part supplies and a general lack of most essentials to be moved forward quickly, you get what you see today.
Once the ground dries out so tanks can not just be stuck to chokepoints and ambush locations of roads, and supply stocks are refilled, Ukraine will be very hard pressed to hold their cities.

….By the way Nuland now says America is “working with Ukraine” to ensure Russia “does not get its hands on the biological laboratories” which American media had only days ago said didn’t exist.

China asked Washington today to release “relevant details as soon as possible” regarding alleged US biological laboratories in Ukraine: Foreign Ministry spokesperson…
#23
Nobody has yet answered the question whether those are actually biolabs established by the Soviet Union in the Cold War days when the U.S. and the USSR were competing in all areas of mass destruction — biological, chemical, and nuclear.
Because if so, Russia has as much responsibility for not shutting them down as we do. But regardless, China needs to shut up before we remind them kinetically that their biolab is the one that released super-Covid into the wild, and they not only covered it up, but worked to spread it out in the world faster while sabotaging development and manufacture of treatments as well as selling subpar masks, gowns, and gloves after having cleared the shops in Europe and the US of all the quality stuff.

[Red State] As Vladimir Putin’s brutality against the people of Ukraine continues, individual stories of human suffering continue to emerge — including from captured Russian fighters. Here are two of them.
Russian National Guard Lt. Col. Astakhov Dmitry Mikhailovich, who was captured along with two other soldiers, as reported by The New York Post, told Ukrainian authorities they were told they were being sent to help Ukraine because it was "dominated by a fascist regime" and that "nationalists and Nazis had seized power." "Obviously, this information was unilateral information," Mikhailovich told reporters.

UKRAINIAN GENERAL STATEMENT REGARDING NAZIS IN UKRAINE.
00:09:55 Ukrainian Army General in 2014 said that Masons and Jews now control Ukraine.
00:05:10 The Ukraine gov't gives military grade weapons to the criminals in Ukraine, who have begun stealing, raping, and shooting up Ukraine citizens
00:02:00 Putin states, "Neo Nazi forces provide heavy weapons to Central Kiev and Kharkov, to draw return fire by Russian armed forces against civilians. Ukrainian army, do not permit them to use you, your women, your children, and your elderly as human shields. It will be so much easier to talk and negotiate with you, instead of this gang of Nazis that has captured Kiev."
[METRO] Russians ‘to be disconnected from global internet from Friday’
An unverified tweet has been making waves, claiming the country will remove itself from the international online community on March 11.
A post from Belarus-based media outfit Nexta, has made the claim, suggesting that all companies wanting to keep an online presence there will need to shift to domestic servers.
‘Russia began active preparations for disconnection from the global Internet,’ the tweet reads.
‘No later than March 11, all servers and domains must be transferred to the Russian zone. In addition, detailed data on the network infrastructure of the sites is being collected.’

In addition, detailed data on the network infrastructure of the sites is being collected. pic.twitter.com/wOCdRqOJej— NEXTA (@nexta_tv) March 6, 2022
The claim has made the rounds on social media, with another account claiming it is in preparation for cyber attacks against the US.
‘Russia will disconnect from external internet starting March 11,’ posted an unverified Twitter user with the username Black Swan.
‘All companies in Russia are required to get on a ‘.ru. address and Russian domestic server. Business have 5 days to comply. Cyber attacks on US inbound…’
BREAKING: RUSSIA WILL DISCONNECT FROM EXTERNAL INTERNET STARTING MARCH 11. ALL COMPANIES IN RUSSIA ARE REQUIRED TO GET ON A “.RU” ADDRESS AND RUSSIAN DOMESTIC SERVER. BUSINESS HAVE 5 DAYS TO COMPLY. Cyber attacks on US inbound…— Black Swan (@RetirementRight) March 7, 2022
Is it likely to happen? As ever, the answer is murky.
A report by the Russian daily Kommersant seems to contradict the claim, saying the Ministry of Digital Development has denied a government move to block Russian access to the internet.
So while Putin could have called to block Russia from the web, it may not come to pass.
Kommersant said that the ‘order’ is now only limited to the government websites and has been taken to prepare the country’s internet infrastructure against any external disconnection and cyber threats.
‘We are preparing for various scenarios to ensure that Russian resources are available to citizens,’ the Ministry said [translated from Russian].
‘The telegram for government agencies outlines a set of simple cyber hygiene recommendations that will help to organize work more effectively to protect our resources from malicious traffic, keep services running and control over domain names,’
Whether or not the March 11 claim is true, it’s well known in tech circles that Russia has been working on its own internal internet for several years.
In 2018, the country brought in the Digital Economy National Program which aims to protect the country’s online infrastructure even if other countries were able to cut it off.
Then, a year later in 2019, Russia’s Ministry of Communications announced it successfully tested a countrywide alternative to the internet.
The government said that regular Russian browsers didn’t notice any changes to their typical web usage while the domestic web was in place.
‘Sadly, the Russian direction of travel is just another step in the increasing breaking-up of the internet,’ Prof Alan Woodward, a computer scientist at the University of Surrey, told the BBC at the time.
‘Increasingly, authoritarian countries which want to control what citizens see are looking at what Iran and China have already done.’
‘It means people will not have access to dialogue about what is going on in their own country, they will be kept within their own bubble.’
‘The calls to increase pressure on our country being made in the West oblige us to think about additional ways to protect Russian sovereignty in cyberspace,’ said Leonid Levin, the chairman of a Russian committee on information technology, also in 2019.
Russia adopted legislation, known as the ‘sovereign internet’ law, in late 2019 that seeks to shield the country from being cut off from foreign infrastructure, in answer to what Russia called the ‘aggressive nature’ of the United States’ national cyber security strategy.

Russian internet trolls hardest hit. It's raining pink slips.

I'd read long ago that Russia/Iran/North Korea and others were working on their own alternate internet, one they could police and censor. I wonder if anything ever became of that.
[CNBC] 2nd in command of Russian 41st Army is getting to be as hazardous as 3rd in command of Al Qaeda.
Ukraine’s defense intelligence agency claimed that Russian Army Major General Vitaly Gerasimov was killed, and other senior Russian Army officers "were also killed or wounded" near Kharkiv.
Gerasimov was identified by the intelligence agency as the chief of staff and first deputy commander of the 41st Combined Arms Army.
The agency claimed that data obtained related to his death "show significant problems with communication" in Russia’s army, "and with the evacuation of their defeated units."
Russian President Vladimir Putin last week confirmed the death of another army general, Andrei Sukhovetsky.
#1
They know they killed him because their comms were not up to the job of calling back to base so they used a cell phone to call his boss. Remember the Ukrainian hackers got the cellular phone numbers and other info for every single Russian in the Russian military. Ukraine even published both phone numbers (caller and callee) who were involve in the death report and the time and duration of the call.

It would be a shame if they assassinated one of the inept ones that got their armored columns stuck.
[Ukrinform] Ukrainian troops destroyed more than three dozen enemy helicopters in Kherson region last night.
The Marine Command reported this on Facebook, Ukrinform reports.
"At night, Ukrainian soldiers shelled the Chornobaivka airfield near Kherson. The occupiers decided to partially deploy their fleet there. Thirty enemy helicopters were destroyed, as well as manpower and equipment," the statement said.
Over the past day, on approaches to Mykolaiv, three enemy convoys were destroyed, the Ukrainian defenders seized trophies, a large number of ammunition, wheeled equipment, and seven D-20 howitzers.

[The Hill] Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin over the weekend ordered more U.S. troops and military equipment sent to Europe as Russia presses its attack on Ukraine, a senior defense official said Monday.
Austin ordered roughly 500 additional troops to Poland, Romania and Germany "to respond to the current security environment in light of Russia's renewed aggression against Ukraine" and to bolster NATO’s eastern flank, the official told reporters.
They stressed President Biden's assertion that no American troops will be sent to Ukraine and that the additional forces are "enablers" going to NATO allies "to shore up capabilities that are already there."
As part of the new deployment, KC-135 refueling aircraft will be sent to Greece, though it was unclear how many aircraft would be sent or where they would come from.
Additionally, an air support operation center will be deployed to Poland and Romania, and an ordinance company and a maintenance company will be sent to Germany for "additional logistic support to the 1st Armored Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division" already deployed there, the official said.
They could not provide a breakdown of how many troops will go where and would not rule out more forces being sent later.
The U.S. military now has about 100,000 personnel stationed in Europe on either a rotational or a permanent basis as Russia’s violent incursion into Ukraine comes up on its two-week mark.
We have no business there in even the best of times.
Now we're facing crisis after crisis at home. Our economy is collapsing and Democrats on the 1/6 Committee are about to call for Trump's arrest on charges of "sedition."
Why the FUCK are we doing this?
Is it to distract us from the fires engulfing us at home? If so, then we need to get rid of these seditious lunatics in Washington -- by whatever means available
(Bloomberg) -- As equity markets sink around the world, Morgan Stanley and Citigroup Inc. strategists say a perfect storm looks to be gathering.
“Downside risk remains most acute over the next 6-8 weeks,” Morgan Stanley’s Michael Wilson wrote in a note to clients. “We are firmly in the grasp of a bear market that is incomplete in both time and price.”
Separately, Citi strategists led by Jamie Fahy said a global gauge tracking analyst estimates on corporate profits has turned negative for the first time since September 2020. This is a potential “game-changer,” eroding their conviction on the prospects of risk assets, they wrote.
Earnings delivery is “paramount” at a time when liquidity is being sucked out by central banks across the world, the Citi strategists said.
Fear: economies are heading to a stagflationary shock. Several major benchmark gauges across Europe have dropped more than 20% from their recent highs, while the S&P 500 is hovering around a 10% correction. With gas and oil prices soaring, Citi and Morgan Stanley strategists say “demand destruction” may now be unavoidable. Optimists are wavering: "Any relief should be sold,” said Wilson.

Everything happening at home is engineered, and could be quickly reversed, as The Donald demonstrated in 2017.
Which means none of those things are crises at all. Take control of both Houses of Congress away from the Democrats in November — preferentially with veto-proof majorities — and keep a close watch on our Republican congresscritters to ensure they don’t get overexcited about spending, and we’ll be at least ok within six months to a year.
Shit is so fake that the minute an outsider took office we got cheap gas, cheap food, became energy independent, no wars and focused on our country’s own issues.
Establishment hacks get back in and we have inflation, medical tyranny, world war 3, need to take a mortgage for gas.
ordered more U.S. troops and military equipment sent to Europe
Which begs the question; who profits most from this sort of ineffective force projection? Sending millions of dollars of equipment, deploying expensive hardware hastily contracted for contingents, then... usually, leaving it there.

Additionally, an air support operation center will be deployed to Poland and Romania, and an ordinance company and a maintenance company will be sent to Germany for "additional logistic support to the 1st Armored Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division" already deployed there, the official said.
Meanwhile, back home in Russia: an answer to the claim made here yesterday evening in comments that The people of Russia wouldn't support this evil invasion if they knew reality. An interesting thread — worth scrolling down. I’d love our Russian visitors to share their thoughts about it all.
Let's discuss what's happening in Russia. To put it simply, it's going full fascist.

It's starting. First step: social media giants flagging users as "spreading pro-Russian" views. Second step: College kids are now reporting they're afraid to say anything that in any way goes against the War Party's narratives.
Next will be forced participation in employers' virtue-signaling theatrics. And then the FBI cracking down on dissent. Think of Woodrow Wilson and the Palmer Raids -- with all the coercive power and surveillance capabilities of the modern digital police state

Does Geneva Convention allow for pows to be used as such?
Didn't read the small print? - Only applies to the United States
Not to be confused with those who 'make it up' when playing the denounce America game. Can you please cite the part of the Conventions you make your claim on?
Today was relatively calm. Neither side gained a new ground. Russian forces are regrouping and preparing for a new phase of ground offensive.
Note: I decided to change frontlines and areas to respect more Ukrainian territory layout. It’s hopefully for the better.
Kyiv Oblast: Russian forces continue to amass near Irpin, Chechen units arrived to the area as well. The time of attack on Kyiv is approaching.
Zhytomyr Oblast: A Russian missile hit an oil depot near Zhytomyr and caused severe damage to the area.
NORTHERN FRONTLINE
includes Chernhiv and Sumy Oblast
Chernihiv Oblast: Ukrainian Territorial Defense units ambushed two Russian logistical convoys near Chernihiv and destroyed all vehicles. This causes more problems for Russian units roaming around the region. Ukrainian forces prepare for possible upcoming offensive to besiege the city of Chernihiv.
Sumy Oblast: There are still some roaming Russian elements in the south of Sumy, but there is no visual proof to geolocate them. There are sights of upcoming offensive to besiege the city of Sumy.
SLOBODA FRONTLINE
includes Kharkiv and Luhansk Oblast
Kharkiv Oblast: Russian forces are regrouping near Kharkiv and continue to shell the city. There are some roaming elements in the south, but we have no information regarding their location.
Luhansk Oblast: Russian forces are reportedly moving towards Slovyansk from Svatove. The enemy also tried to break Ukrainian defense lines near Sievierodonetsk, but wasn’t successful.
PRYAZOVIA FRONTLINE
includes Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia Oblast
Donetsk Oblast: The report of yesterday’s counter-attack of Ukrainian forces near Mariupol was confirmed. The Ukrainian Azov Regiment destroyed several Russian vehicles and captured at least three T-72B3 tanks and one T-64BV tank.
Zaporizhzhia Oblast: Russian forces amassing its forces in direction of Zaporizhzhia. Ukrainian forces are preparing defenses to repel any attack on the regional capital.
SOUTHERN FRONTLINE
includes Kherson, Mykolaiv and Odesa Oblast
Nothing about events in Odesa at the link.
Mykolaiv Oblast: Russian Forces continue to attack Mykolaiv airport, but so far without a success. The main force meanwhile continues to move north towards Voznesensk.
Kherson Oblast: Ukrainian artillery (or some say Special Forces) attacked Kherson airfield and destroyed several Russian helicopters stationed there. However, there has been no visual proof so far, only the reports of explosions from that area. See the respective maps at the link

[NewsFrontInfo] 23:22 Ukrainian Nazis fired at the settlements of Verkhnetoretskoe (southern) and Vasilievka in the DPR. The militants fired 110 mines with a caliber of 120 mm and 435 grenades from the AGS into the villages. 22:42 Eyewitnesses report the situation in the still occupied Severodonetsk in the LPR. There is no water, electricity and gas in the city, and shell explosions are constantly heard. However, the biggest problem lies with the Nazis: the militants are shooting civilians who are trying to evacuate from Severodonetsk.
22:23 As a result of hostilities in the DPR, 26 civilians were killed in 19 days, another 139 were injured, including 9 children - the DPR representative office in the JCCC.
22:00 According to preliminary information, the city of Mangush in the north-west of Mariupol came under the control of the People's Militia of the DPR and Russian troops.
21:52 Three civilians of the DPR were injured during the shelling of the liberated territory of the republic by the Ukrainian Nazis: two women born in 1958 and 1945, as well as a man born in 1853.
21:24 The forces of the People's Militia of the LPR continue to approach Severodonetsk. They actively drive the Nazis out of the villages around the city and take them under their control.
21:17 Some eyewitnesses report that the forces of the People's Militia of the LPR entered the city of Popasnaya in the LPR. There is also information that many fighters of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, originally from Lviv, have surrendered. They are already in the commandant's office of Pervomaisk, where they testify about their crimes.
19:45 Ukrainian Nazis fired at the village of Molochny and the city of Pervomaisk in the LPR from the Grad MLRS, artillery and mortars. Information about the victims and destruction is being specified.
19:03 The forces of the People's Militia of the DPR reached the border of the Zaporozhye region, according to the official representative of the NM of the republic, Eduard Basurin.
19:03 During the operation to liberate Donbass, the losses of Kiev militants only on the territory of the DPR amounted to 591 killed and 724 wounded.
18:48 Mariupol has already been completely encircled, and in some areas of the city, the Nazis are already being purged - the deputy commander of the Vostok battalion.
18:42 The air defense forces of the DPR shot down a Tochka-U operational-tactical missile over the Novyi Svet settlement.
18:41 As a result of shelling from the Ukrainian Nazis, a resident of Horlivka, born in 1991, was wounded.
18:37 Ukrainian nationalists in Mariupol are deploying firing points in houses with inscriptions "do not shoot - there are children!". This is a terrorist tactic - the Russian Ministry of Defense.
18:35 The forces of the People's Militia of the LPR liberated the settlements of Kudryashovka, Voronovo, Metelkino, Medvezhye, Askoronovka, Petrovka, Aleksandrovka from the Nazis.

17:57 Ukrainian armed formations again fired at Horlivka. About 10 shells hit the village of Molochnoye. As a result of the shelling, a house was damaged at 18, Fruit Street, without any casualties. Now work is underway to search for possible damage and victims on the territory of the village. We find out the details - the mayor of Gorlovka Ivan Prikhodko.
17:03 As a result of artillery fire from the Ukrainian Nazis, a resident of Pervomaisk in the LPR, born in 1946, died.
16:04 Ukrainian militants opened artillery fire on the Ferroalloy Plant in Stakhanov in the LPR. People managed to hide in a shelter. The company has temporarily stopped work.
15:54 The Putilovka microdistrict in the north of Donetsk is under fire from the Ukrainian Nazis. The militants also shelled Gorlovka. They fired two 120mm mines.
15:52 Fierce battles are going on right now on the outskirts of Mariupol. They are concentrated in the Vostochny microdistrict.
15:18 In the basement of an apartment building in the recently liberated Trekhizbenka in the LPR, they found the body of a man with signs of torture. The Nazis killed him on February 25 while trying to retreat.
15:11 The northern outskirts of Donetsk and the suburbs, as well as Yasinovataya, Yakovlevka, Mineralnoe, Vasylivka, other front-line areas and settlements are under fire from the Ukrainian Nazis. People are being urged to stay indoors.
15:05 Ukrainian Nazi strikes on Donetskbrokenschool. Only recently it was restored after the destruction received in 2014 and 2015, but now only ruins are left of it again.
15:05 Residents of Severodonetsk also report that the Nazis shoot civilians for trying to leave the city.
15:03 Residents of Rubizhne in the still occupied part of the LPR say that the city is being held hostage by the Kiev Nazis. It no longer has food, no water, and electricity and communications are only in fits and starts. Everyone who worked at the enterprises was given work books in their hands and sent home.
