[WIRE] The FBI said that it discovered 40 skulls and other human bones during a raid on a Kentucky man’s residence in connection to the alleged trafficking of human remains linked to Harvard Medical School.
The FBI made the grisly discovery when it raided the residence of James Nott in Mount Washington, Kentucky, on Tuesday, and found spinal cords, femurs, and hip bones, in addition to the skulls, according to the Courier-Journal.
According to investigators, Nott said "only my dead friends," were home when asked by FBI agents present at the raid. Investigators said that the human bones were used as decorations throughout the residence, which was raided in connection to an alleged international and domestic body part trafficking scheme linked to Harvard and an Arkansas mortuary.
Nott is accused of using a fake name to sell human remains that he obtained from around the world. He allegedly used the name of a 19th-century serial killer, "William Burke," to sell the bones on Facebook.
After the raid, Nott was charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. "The felon in possession of a firearm offense charged in today’s complaint, arose from a federal search warrant executed at Nott’s residence today, in connection with a search for firearms and trafficked human remains," the Department of Justice said in a press release.
The criminal complaint against Nott says that law enforcement officers viewed his Facebook page and saw him "post human remains for sale on Facebook as recently as June 23."

^ Yeah, they have kind of adopted a "the way of all flesh" view.

The tie-in isn't that Burke was a murderer but that he was a "Resurrectionist" - someone who dug up and provided bodies to doctors/anatomists. Granted he sometimes skipped the work of digging up a deader and just made one.
[An Nahar] Female transgender athletes who transitioned after male puberty will be prohibited from women's events in all categories of cycling, the sport's governing body said on Friday.
The International Cycling Union (UCI)'s president David Lappartient said the federation "has a duty to guarantee, above all, equal opportunities for all competitors in cycling competitions."
The new rules, which come into force on July 17, follow similar rulings by other Olympic sports such as athletics.
"The UCI would like to reaffirm that cycling — as a competitive sport, leisure activity or means of transport — is open to everyone," Lappartient said in a statement.
But the current state of scientific knowledge does not guarantee such equality of opportunity between transgender female athletes and cisgender female participants, he added.
"As a precautionary measure, (it is not possible to) authorize the former to race in the female categories," Lappartient added.
The UCI said it was open to changing these rulings in the future as scientific knowledge evolves.
To this end the UCI will begin discussions with other members of the international sporting movement on the co-financing of a research program aimed at studying changes in the physical performance of highly-trained athletes undergoing transitional hormone treatment.
Last year top British women's cyclists threatened to boycott events after 22-year-old Emily Bridges, who was dropped by the British academy program as a male rider, attempted to join the women's omium team.

IIUC, it means "person who isn't confused about their sex." Which means it's actually a compliment.
Not that they mean it that way.
But then, they're confused...

A point of information, from Wikipedia:
The term cisgender was coined in 1994 and entered into dictionaries starting in 2015 as a result of changes in social discourse about gender. The term has been and continues to be controversial and subject to critique.

My younger brother bought the Queen album Fat Bottom Girls and tacked up the enclosed poster in his closet. My mother found it and the album was taken back to the store. I didn’t care for that particular poster anyway. Hopefully, there will be no trans reshoot of that art piece.

I thought I heard some dude nobody just dominated a celebrated women's cycling event.
Using cisgender is like using the n word to describe someone of African descent.
[AlAhram] Egypt Cabinet withdrew Egyptian citizenship Thursday from three citizens holding Israeli citizenship on charges of obtaining foreign citizenship without authorization.
The ruling was published in the 28th edition of the Cabinet's official gazette.
Two of the three siblings, H. A and A.A, were born in 1997 and 1999 in Cairo, whereas the eldest sibling, A R.A., was born in 1995 on Israeli territory.
Egyptians may not travel to Israel unless they obtain security permission from the Egyptian government.
Furthermore, by marrying an Israeli, an Egyptian risks losing his citizenship. In 2016, Egypt’s administrative court ruled that marriage between Egyptians and Israelis threatens Egypt’s national security.
The court further stated that the right to freely choose a marriage partner, otherwise protected by the constitution, does not exempt citizens from undertaking their responsibility to protect the state and society.
Ewwww — UNCLEAN!!!
The 2016 ruling complemented another — issued by the same court a year before — that obliged the Egyptian Cabinet and the Ministry of Interior to strip Egyptians who marry Israelis of their citizenship on the grounds of Egyptian nationality law.
According to Article 16 of the law, the Egyptian government reserves the right to strip Egyptian nationals of their citizenship in cases where Egypt’s national security and interests are threatened.
There are no official figures on the number of Egyptians married to Israelis. However, there is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened... estimates suggest that thousands of Egyptian men are married to Israeli women, many of Arab origin (Paleostinians who remained within Israel's 1948 borders).
[An Nahar] The founder and former CEO of the failed cryptocurrency lending platform Celsius Network was freed on $40 million bail Thursday after pleading not guilty to federal fraud charges alleging that he schemed to defraud customers by misleading them about key aspects of the business.
Alexander Mashinsky, 57, of Manhattan, was charged with securities, commodities and wire fraud in an indictment unsealed in Manhattan federal court. He was also charged with illegally manipulating the price of Celsius's proprietary crypto token while secretly selling his own tokens at inflated prices.
Mashinsky left the court without commenting after an attorney, Benjamin Alee, told a magistrate judge that Mashinsky was pleading not guilty. When the judge asked if that was his plea, Mashinsky said it was. The $40 million personal recognizance bond is secured by property and the signatures of his wife and a second person.
Another Mashinsky attorney, Jonathan Ohring, said in an email that his client "vehemently denies the allegations brought today."
"He looks forward to vigorously defending himself in court against these baseless charges," Ohring added.
According to the indictment, Mashinsky from 2018 to 2022 pitched Celsius to customers as a modern-day bank where they could safely deposit crypto assets and earn interest. But, it said, Mashinsky operated Celsius like a risky investment fund, taking in customer money under false and misleading pretenses and exposing customers to a high-risk business.
The indictment alleged that Mashinsky promoted Celsius through media interviews, his Twitter account and Celsius's website, along with a weekly "Ask Mashinsky Anything" session broadcast posted to Celsius's website and a YouTube channel.
Celsius employees from multiple departments who noticed false and misleading statements in the sessions warned Mashinsky, but they were ignored, the indictment said.
Mashinsky's false portrayal of Celsius as a safe and secure institution caused its customer base to grow exponentially through a large number of retail investors, the indictment said.
By the fall of 2021, Celsius had become one of the largest crypto platforms in the world, purportedly holding approximately $25 billion in assets, it said.
U.S. Attorney Damian Williams said the arrest of Mashinsky was further proof that his office will seek to hold responsible those who try to cheat ordinary investors.
"Whether it's old-school fraud or some new-school crypto scheme, it doesn't matter one bit. It's all fraud to us. And we'll be here to catch it," he said.
The Securities and Exchange Commission on Thursday also sued Mashinsky and Celsius, saying they misled investors through unregistered and often fraudulent offers and sales of crypto asset securities.
In January, New York Attorney General Letitia James sued Mashinsky in state court in Manhattan, saying he misled hundreds of thousands of investors.
Celsius filed for bankruptcy last year.

federal fraud charges alleging that he schemed to defraud customers by misleading them about key aspects of the business
Pretty much describes nearly all federal legislation coming from Congress.
[Last Refuge] There is one commonality amid all those who are skilled at the art of deception; one thing they all require in order to advance their position against their targets. Every deceiver relies upon their ability to stop people from trusting their instincts. This is why you will see me reminding everyone, repeatedly, to remain centered in your faith of a loving God, and TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS.
In this short soundbite with Nikki Haley, Tucker Carlson asks the former U.N. Ambassador, "who blew up the Nordstream pipeline?" Ambassador Haley is completely frozen and caught off guard. Does she retain the neocon position, or does she tell the truth — she’s stuck. WATCH:
#1
This should come as no surprise. All of Washington knows what is going on. No one in the media is linking the shut down of the Keystone with Nord Stream, even though the administration said they would shut down both.
What is NOT being discussed in gov't or the media is quite revealing. Control of global petroleum resources is the obvious goal.
#2
Carlson caught each of them out. Pence saying American cities "are not his concern" compared to Ukraine, Asa Hutchinson saying he's really not against trans therapy, Tim Scott saying he won't deport illegals.
He exposed them all.

If he hasn't interviewed The Donald and asked some hard questions, some will dismiss him as a Trumpian shill.

And Tucker has already said he loves Trump.
Trump is full of shit, too (aren't they all?), so I hope (repeat, hope) to see some hard questions (and those not already asked by the clowns at CNN at some town hall meeting).
I find it ridiculous when Trump says he'll release the JFK assassination files if he is president.
Uh, well, Donny, you had your chance and you failed, and you expect us to believe you now? Deep State get to you? Neocons?
Anyway, these JFK files are turning into a distraction much like Chinese balloons and UFOs as the USA continues its descent in its decline and fall phase.
#12
At this point, Trump is refusing to even be in the same venues with them. He's right to the extent that he is on another plane, candidacy wise.
Still, the commenters are correct, he has to face the hard questions too. Who knows? Unlike some of these other candidates, he actually might give a straight answer or two.

I watched the first 20 minutes of the Nikki interview, where she has brushed aside the Nordstream question. 'A lot of crazy things in the Biden administration; this wasn't the first one.'I suspect Tucker will come back to it.
Otherwise, I thought she had some good ideas. Watch a little more than the "gotcha" moments.

[BLAZE] Former President Donald Trump plans to host a screening of the massively successful anti-child-trafficking film "Sound of Freedom" at his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey, next week.
The film's producer, Eduardo Verástegui, will join Trump at the July 19 screening along with star Jim Caviezel and Tim Ballard, the former Department of Homeland Security agent whose dogged pursuit of child traffickers is the subject of the film.
Trump campaign adviser Jason Miller announced the screening on Steve Bannon's show "War Room," noting that "evangelical allies," Bedminster members, and people from all around the country will be joining the former president to watch the film.
Trump's team emphasized in a corresponding statement that the former president takes the matters raised in the film deadly seriously, having "signed an executive order directing federal law enforcement to prioritize demolishing the criminal organizations behind forced labor, sex trafficking, and child exploitation[,] ... signed nine pieces of bipartisan legislation to combat human trafficking, both domestically and internationally, approved the largest DOJ grant package in history to combat human trafficking, and doubled the amount of DOJ funding to combat human trafficking."
It clearly points out the Child Sex Trafficking problem south of the border and the fact the USA is the #1 destination and buyer of these kids.
Also, heard more than one movie viewer make the general comment of the relationship of this to the DC Coup, the child groping Biden and the Left's Open Borders policy agenda.
One 18-20+/- y/o group as they were leaving, had 1 of them explaining to the others in the group. When the Media uses the term "Human Trafficking" its to gloss over the Child Sex Trafficking issues.
The film is opening a lot of eyes to problems South of the Border, that Biden and the LSD's seem to welcome here.

I too went to see it. Their focus on the events in South America does bring our border issues to light. For that I'm glad. But the trafficking of children for sex is just the surface of the issue and it is bigger than the Pedos. Research what they do with the girls once they reach puberty, to the boys once they grow older. It will lead you to big Pharma, medical research and the business of organ sales. Its all disgusting, needs to be stopped, but the people that can do something, our government, is owned by the corporations that profit from it and wont allow their media outlets or puppets to act.

The lives of these kids are the real cost our current border policy. Joseph V Curaffi is Inspector General for Homeland Security. I would like to see him make a trip to Capital Hill to see what he plans to do about the 80k missing kids. I would like to see the results of a 1k sample studied. How did they show up? Who transported them across the country? For delivery to whom? Why can’t that person be located? Let Lauren Bobbet pick the names of the 1k kids.

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
