  Epstein list unsealed, but is it? Update:  Tucker Carlson: The suspicious suicide and the non prosecution agreement The BBC is reporting that  "The UK's Prince Andrew and Bill Clinton are among high-profile figures named in US court papers detailing connections of late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The newly released records form part of a case against Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein's girlfriend who has been jailed for helping him abuse girls.  But the documents so far unveil no major new allegations about Epstein nor revelations about his associates .

  Los Viagras Cartel Forcing Michoacan Locals to Pay for Bootleg Wi-Fi  "Socalj" for Borderland Beat Illegal Wi-Fi signal repeater antennas were located in the supervised properties. Intelligence areas report that these antennas were operated by the group “Los Viagras,” who forced the locals to pay high rates to access the networks. Three search warrants were executed in Apatzingán and Buenavista, in the Tierra Caliente region.  Dubbed “narco-antennas” by local media, the cartel’s system involved internet antennas set up in various towns built with stolen equipment. Los Viagras charged approximately 5,000 people elevated prices between 400 and 500 pesos ($25 to $30) a month, meaning the group could rake in around $150,000 a month. The average price per month for legitimate WiFi internet service is less, at around $20 per month. People were terrorized “to contract the internet services at excessive costs, under the claim that they would be killed if they did not,” prosecut...

Three people were killed on January 1, 11 on Tuesday, and yesterday, Wednesday, 4.
