will plead guilty to 17 counts of premeditated murder and 17 counts of attempted murder rather than going to a full trial, according to reports
On 14 February 2018, then-19-year-old opened fire at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, killing 17 and wounding 17 more
He will be sentenced either to death or life without parole
Previously, Cruz´s attorneys said he would plead guilty in exchange for a life sentence, but prosecutors had previously rejected that offer
Cruz will also plead guilty to battering a Broward County Jail guard back in November 2018
Prosecutors could argue that the attack is an aggravating factor when they seek his execution during the upcoming penalty phase
The Public Defender's Office told 7News that they would 'neither confirm nor deny' that Cruz would plead guilty
Cruz's defense team will officially announce their clients' pleas on Friday

Considering all the other aiders and abettors have gotten off scot free, I'm not so sure Cruz deserves the death penalty.

if you watched the taped interrogation of this manipulative little shit, it is obvious he will do anything to keep his name in lights. all eyes on him.
as for the loser police dept in Broward County, i was at a hotel in the county a week after this shooting. An officer was at the front desk wanting to look at something in one of the rooms. the desk jockey asked for identification and the office harummphed and rolled his eyes. i felt like saying that's exactly the kind of attitude that allowed those kids to be murdered. an attitude that the public servants are above the law and beyond reproach.

[PostMillennial] A high school teacher in Redmond, Washington was among three individuals arrested by the Redmond Police Department following an operation launched in May investigating child sexual exploitation and abuse.
Lance Ray Egli, a 49-year-old psychologist at Monroe High School, was arrested on four counts of communicating with a minor for immoral purposes. Egli is also the special education coordinator. Redmond police detectives booked him into King County Jail on Friday, October 8.
Egli is accused of attempting to engage in sex acts with two undercover police officers that were posing as underage girls, 14 and 15 years of age.
The two other suspects arrested during the operation include Jeffrey Ralph Brown, 57, and Garrett M. Swanzy, 46. Both were arrested on charges of communicating with minors for immoral purposes.

[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] Walgreens is closing another five of its stores in San Francisco because of financial losses due to constant shoplifting
Viral videos taken throughout the summer show shoplifters brazenly sauntering out of stores with armfuls of stolen goods
Walgreens closed 17 stores in the past five years due to rising shoplifting cases, leaving 53 stores still open
The surge in shoplifting arose after a local law downgraded the theft of property less than $950 in value from a felony charge to a misdemeanor in 2014
Critics say that city officials are not proposing effective ways to curb such crime
[NYP] The off-duty NYPD officer who allegedly shot her ex-girlfriend and killed the woman’s new lover may have snapped because she was clinging to hope that they’d get back together, a high-ranking police source told The Post Thursday.
Officer Yvonne Wu, 31, had recently split with her ex, Jenny Li, 23, but was still spending the night on occasion at Li’s home in Brooklyn — and may have lost it when she saw her there with another woman, the source said.
"She was still staying there on and off. She was still staying there some nights. It’s not that strange, maybe she thought it could still work out," the source said.
Wu, who works at the 72nd Precinct and lives on Staten Island, allegedly opened fire on Li and her 24-year-old new lover, Jamie Liang, at the home on 19th Avenue near 79th Street in Bensonhurst Wednesday night, according to police.
[Garden & Gun] Only in the South can the past be woven so passionately into the present. That salient bit of time bending inhabits every form of expression, be it food, architecture, business, music, art, or politics. It’s what Faulkner meant in Requiem for a Nun with his much-lauded epigram: "The past is never dead. It’s not even past."
Which is why, one crisp late-fall Saturday night many years back, it seemed I had something like an eternity to mull the many profound whorls in the sediments of Southern time that had brought me to my—I hoped temporary—stay in the Ardmore, Alabama, jail.
Jail, or the close prospect of it, has a way of focusing the mind on immediate options and on larger cosmic issues at once. Specifically, I waited for Ardmore’s jolly desk sergeant, beleaguered with a raft of other Saturday-night miscreants, to be briefed by my arresting officers so he could decide whether my offense—the possession of one six-pack of (unopened) beer—merited an invitation to enjoy a night in his facilities, or whether the many bigger fish he had to fry in his rowdy little town might just allow me some bootlegger’s version of a hall pass.
My bench in the anteroom to the holding cells provided an excellent vantage point from which to ponder the South’s apparently endless love of Prohibition. Technically the Eighteenth Amendment was repealed in 1933, but in the Deep South, in evocation of our wise Nobel laureate Faulkner, that disastrous piece of law got snapped right back up and re-legislated in a mad patchwork fashion across Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, Texas, and even in the South’s reputed no-holds-barred repository of "sin," a.k.a. Louisiana.
The backstory: My home county, Limestone, in which the main part of Ardmore lies, is dry and has been for the almost nine decades since Prohibition’s repeal. Though in Alabama, the legal implementation of Prohibition in 1920 came less as a shock and more as a comfort and confirmation: Fifty-eight of the state’s sixty-seven counties had already voted themselves bone-dry by 1908. That means whole generations have been brought up in a liquor-running paradox. No matter how law-abiding a citizen might be, if he or she drank, that person lived on the far side of the law.
[MilitaryTimes] Another six troops succumbed to COVID-19 this week, continuing a trend that began in August and has continued into the fall. Where last year, most months saw one or two deaths, since late July, there have been multiple deaths a week.
Now totaling 58, the military’s COVID-19 mortality rate has held steady at 0.02 percent, 50 times what it was for most of 2020. At the same time, facing deadlines for mandatory vaccination, the services are slowly marching toward 100-percent vaccination.
[Project Veritas] Project Veritas today released another video featuring conversations with funeral home directors and their staff throughout New York City questioning the number of deaths officially attributed to the COVID-19 pandemic.
[Mamaroneck, N.Y.—April 30, 2020] Project Veritas today released another video featuring conversations with funeral home directors and their staff throughout New York City questioning the number of deaths officially attributed to the COVID-19 pandemic.
In late April, a Project Veritas reporter spoke with Michael Lanza, the director of Staten Island’s Colonial Funeral Home.
"To be honest with you, all of the death certificates are writing COVID on it, they’re writing COVID on all the death certificates," Lanza said.
Lanza said DeBlasio might see inflated COVID death tallies as a way to bring more money to New York City. "Whether they had a positive test or didn’t, so I think again this is my personal opinion, I think like the mayor and our city--they’re looking for federal funding and the more they put COVID on the death certificate the more they can ask from the federal funds."

Many prominent doctors here and in Europe called this out in mid-March of 2020. UK Pathologist Dr. John Lee said they were vastly overcounting then, and provided specific details in the ways they were doing so.

April/May, if the mortality rate was as feared/advertised funeral homes and cemetery grounds would have been exhausted or unable to keep up, locations for services overbooked.
As advertised; an example would be "Refrigerated Trucks Parked at Morgue for Overflow!" Well, the stories never said anything about them being used, just there and let the reader's imagination take over.

[Rusvesna] The former security guard of the oligarch Umar Dzhabrailov staged a shootout in Moscow. One of the bullets nearly hit a bystander. This was reported by journalist Anastasia Chumakova on her Telegram channel.
"The shootout right at the entrance to the Lyublino metro station took place on October 10, around 2200 hrs.
Almost immediately, the police detained one of the shooters. He turned out to be the former personal guard of Umar Dzhabrailov, Artur Inziev," said Chumakova.
"A combat AK-47 and other weapons were seized from the native of Chechnya. There are no casualties. The suspect is now in jail," she wrotes.
"The guards of ex-senator Umar Dzhabrailov regularly arrange shootouts in Moscow, and random people often suffer. But they always manage to get out of the water dry: they are smeared out. Because Dzhabrailov is the 'wallet' of important persons in Chechnya, because he is connected with Kadyrov and Delimkhanov.
Inziev, by the way, was previously sentenced to 10 years for extortion from Senator Mikhail Kapura, but calmly left after a couple of years," she notes. View a video of the incident at the link

That's not all that's suffering price increases. The old F-150 recently experienced a slow radiator leak. A nearby garage wanted $800. parts and labor. NAPA had a replacement unit with lifetime warrantee for $250. I viewed an 'on-line' do-it-yourself video a couple of times and had the laptop at the ready out in the garage. The job took the better part of a Saturday and did not require AC drainage. Net savings, $550. No core charge. A nearby Race Track auto store gladly took the old core.
Yes, I violated the HOA...(residential auto repairs) but have not yet been reported :-)

1st we were told to hold off buying NEW until Sept./Oct. Now we are hearing the Auto Makers couldn't get all the IC's they need to completely build the vehicles and they are in high demand and short supply.
Do we feel PLAYED yet?
BTW: So what does 2022 hold us?
Some might remember under President Carter. A person with good credit was lucky to get a 14% car loan, with many running 21% interest rates for a year there.

Ford just announced that their finance arm will no longer look at FICO scores for people taking the 84 month loan option. I mean, what sort of credit score do you expect someone signing a 7 year note for a car to have?

[Just The News] The non-partisan government watchdog group Empower Oversight is looking into the origins of COVID-19, and whether the government knowingly or unwittingly contributed monetarily to the Chinese lab at the center of the outbreak.
According to Empower Oversight, the group submitted numerous Freedom of Information Act requests in order to obtain a better understanding of what type of research is being funded by federal agencies, and whether money is being sent to the Wuhan Institute of Virology and to underwrite gain-of-function research.
The group submitted FOIA requests to three separate federal agencies, requesting documentation concerning government funding that was given to the embattled research firm EcoHealth, which is run by Peter Daszak.
According to the New York Post, Daszak is facing widespread pressure from across the scientific community to resign from EcoHealth following reports of his personal ties to the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

Skid's image shows why the 1.3GW capacity is a misleading number. The average 24/365 capacity factor is likely to be about 20-25%. However, in the summer during peak a/c demand the capacity may be in the 70 to 85% range.

And just think about the benefits for All-Electric Homes...not.
At the country-level, there appears to be no discernable relationship between percentage of population fully vaccinated and new COVID-19 cases in the last 7 days (Fig. 1). In fact, the trend line suggests a marginally positive association such that countries with higher percentage of population fully vaccinated have higher COVID-19 cases per 1 million people.

"rare" - ok. But much LESS RARE than risk of severe case of COVID, which is about 5-10x LESS likely than the risk of severe myocarditis in young men who take this vaccine. F---ing liars.
[BreakingNewsCA] A team of over 1,000 lawyers and over 10,000 medical experts led by Dr. Reiner Fuellmich have begun legal proceedings against the CDC, WHO & the Davos Group for crimes against humanity. Fuellmich and his team present the faulty PCR test and the order for doctors to label any comorbidity death as a Covid death as fraud. The PCR test was never designed to detect pathogens and is 100% faulty at 35 cycles. All the PCR tests overseen by the CDC are set at 37 to 45 cycles. The CDC admits that any tests over 28 cycles are not admissible for a positive reliable result. This alone invalidates over 90% of the alleged covid cases / "infections" tracked by the use of this faulty test.
In addition to the flawed tests and fraudulent death certificates, the "experimental" vaccine itself is in violation of Article 32 of the Geneva Convention. Under Article 32 of the 1949 Geneva Convention IV, "mutilation and medical or scientific experiments not necessitated by the medical treatment of a protected person" are prohibited. According to Article 147, conducting biological experiments on protected persons is a grave breach of the Convention.
The "experimental" vaccine is in violation of all 10 of the Nuremberg Codes which carry the death penalty for those who seek to violate these International Laws. About freaking time. Note that the cycle time recommendation by the CDC was lowered 1 hour after Biden's inauguration.

Including Davos just makes it clear the plaintiffs are not serious and likely running a con.

Looked over the 10 listed Codes cited.
While a majority are clearly easy low hanging fruit and violations. A couple few seem to be a bit of a reach.
Who expects to see such a court or trial convened? Since any NUREMBERG type trial will required the consent of the Elite Leadership who are firmly standing behind the WHO, CDC and etc... and making $$$$$$$$$ .
