McKinsey &; Company is under federal criminal investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice for their alleged past work advising some of the largest opioid manufacturers on how to maximize sales. The Wall Street Journal broke the story Wednesday evening on the investigation in which prosecutors are also seeking to determine if the company or its employees obstructed justice throughout the course of the multi-year investigation. Investigators are specifically looking at consulting advice the firm gave to Purdue‚ Endo International‚ and Mallinckrodt that government and private plaintiffs have alleged exacerbated the opioid addiction epidemic‚ the report said. The three companies have filed for bankruptcy in response to lawsuits alleging they marketed the drug in a deceptive way that caused addiction. The investigation is being run through two U.S. attorney’s offices‚ the Western District of Virginia and the District of Massachusetts‚ the report said. A federal grand jury has been impaneled in Virginia. The company has already paid approximately $1 billion in settlements with all 50 U.S. states‚ five U.S. territories‚ Washington‚ D.C.‚ Native American tribes‚ public school districts‚ insurance companies and municipal governments‚ the report said. They have never admitted any wrongdoing. McKinsey consultants allegedly told Purdue that it could “turbocharge” its sales of the highly addictive painkiller OxyContin by making more sales calls to healthcare providers that it knew wrote significantly larger volumes of prescriptions of the drug and spend less time speaking with providers who seldom prescribed it. The New York Times reported that senior McKinsey consultants were growing nervous in 2018 that they would be liable for their work helping opioid manufacturers boost their sales. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP The report said that during the summer of 2018‚ Martin Elling‚ a leader in the firm’s pharmaceutical practice‚ allegedly emailed senior McKinsey partner Arnab Ghatak and asked whether they should destroy documents and records related to their opioid work. “Thanks for the heads up‚” Ghatak responded. “Will do.” The Times said both men were fired after the newspaper reported on the existence of the emails in 2020.

Megyn Kelly reacted to President Joe Biden’s latest flub and said the president “might have just lost” the election over it. In a video that surfaced on X‚ Biden read everything written on the teleprompter‚ seemingly including instructions‚ while he was delivering remarks on Wednesday in Washington‚ D.C.‚ at the North America’s Building Trade Union National Legislative Conference. “Four more years. Pause‚” Biden appeared to tell the room. “He might have just lost‚” Kelly wrote on X‚ along with the video of Biden’s comments. “Seriously. Watch this.” In another post‚ the host of “The Megyn Kelly Show” podcast reposted a screenshot of the official White House transcript of Biden’s comments that read‚ “Four–more years (inaudible.) “This really is the perfect embodiment of the Biden presidency – don’t believe your lyin’ eyes and ears…” Kelly’s post read‚ adding sarcastically‚ “The economy is fixed&;#33; The border is secure&;#33; Crime is over&;#33; Men are women&;#33; The WH staff can’t keep up with Joe Biden&;#33;” Kelly wasn’t the only person who noticed the video. Former acting director of national intelligence during the Trump administration‚ Richard Grenell‚ wrote on social media‚ “Joe Biden said the word ‘pause’ because it was written in his teleprompter. It was there to tell him to pause before speaking again. But he read the word out loud.” He might have just lost. Seriously. Watch this. https://t.co/n1LHIP9Qfh — Megyn Kelly (@megynkelly) April 24‚ 2024 Last week‚ Biden claimed that his uncle Ambrose Finnegan — “Uncle Bosie” — might have been eaten by cannibals after his plane went down during World War II. Biden told the story during a campaign stop in Pennsylvania‚ saying that “Uncle Bosie” had been a part of the Army Air Corps in the Pacific when he was “shot down” over Papua New Guinea. “He flew those single-engine planes as reconnaissance over war zones‚ and he got shot down in New Guinea. They never found the body because there used to be‚ there were a lot of cannibals‚ for real‚ in that part of New Guinea‚” Biden said at the time. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP The host of “The Megyn Kelly Show” podcast previously talked about Biden’s “Uncle Bosie” story and said the president “once again came out with a nonsense story.” “He [Biden] can’t go two seconds with telling another familial lie‚ something about his background‚ his son. …The latest one is about Uncle Bosie‚” Kelly said before playing a clip of Biden’s claim of cannibalism. “Okay‚ so virtually none of that was true‚” she added. “There is a dead uncle. Died in WWII. Was not in a single engine‚ he was in a double engine plane. Was not shot down. Officials say they don’t know what happened to the plane‚ both engines failed.” “There were no cannibals‚” Kelly continued‚ recalling what the survivor of the crash said‚ “and went on to tell us what happened.” Virginia Kruta contributed to this piece.

A Harleysville‚ Pennsylvania experiencer describes their UFO sighting and possible abduction. The experiencer also wonders why they weren't afraid throughout this incident.I received the following account:&;quot;Sometime in the middle of October 2010‚ I was up late playing computer games in my bedroom on the second story of my home here in Harleysville‚ Pennsylvania. I was getting tired around 12:30 am and decided to go to sleep around 1:00am. I fell asleep quite quickly in nothing but my boxers. Before I go into detail about the encounter I experienced‚ allow me to explain the layout of my room.My bedroom is on the second story on the southwest end of my home. I have 3 windows in my room on the front face of the house and have access to both the attic and the only fire escape on the building. This house used to be an old office building in which my bedroom was one of the offices used. My actual bed is located in the southwest corner next to a window and directly next to the fire escape door. This door has no handle on the outside and only a bar release on the inside similar to what you would find on the inside of a school entrance door or office building. The door also has a 1.3x1.3 foot window in the top center. The actual fire escape on the outside of the door is nothing more than a metal platform and railing leading down the side of my house with metal stairs. I often use this to have a cigarette when I am at home since smoking inside the house is forbidden by the landlord. This goes to say I am quite familiar with what the scenery on the outside of my home looks like in this location.I awoke on this day around 3 am based on the dark of night outside‚ however‚ when I awoke I was already outside on my fire escape platform. I had not been dreaming as far as I could tell since everything was as it was when I was awake‚ and have had many vivid almost lucid dreams in the past‚ and I can tell you this was not that sensation. I was very groggy and confused as to how I had walked in my sleep. I have not sleepwalked since I was about 8 years old‚ and at this time I was 19 almost 20. I almost immediately noticed something very very large above me after this initial confusion‚ and took quick notice of my door being closed behind me leaving no way of re-entering my home.As soon as I noticed this‚ however‚ I felt the urge to look at this large object hovering above me. As I looked up I noticed it was sort of rounded in shape but had many many lights on the underside of it. It was directly above me so I had no view of the sides of the object. The lights were a very very bright white. Nothing like any fluorescent bulb I have ever seen. These lights were flashing without any pattern it seemed and were located all over the underside of the object in rectangular and very long trapezoidal shapes. The object had to have been at least 250 feet in diameter‚ possibly larger.The underside of the object also had many things jutting out from it with these lights on it as well‚ but I took firm notice of one in particular. There was this large piece with the lights on the side of it coming out from the right of the object. Its shape was like an upside-down cone with the end cut off. It resembled an air filter for a high-performance engine in a car. It had symmetrical lights all around its sides that were identical to the ones on the underside of the object‚ however‚ the bottom of this piece jutting out was a very dark gray-black color.When I first looked up‚ the lights were so blinding that I had to shield my eyes with one hand to see they were flashing and their shapes and locations. I observed all of this within less than 90 seconds before I became very disoriented. I forgot what I was doing‚ where I was at‚ and who I was. Almost as if these lights were inducing an acute case of amnesia. The last thing I can remember before passing out was the strange sensation of floating. I had never experienced this before‚ but it was as if I were suddenly weightless. My feet were no longer touching the cold metal platform and I was no longer shielding my eyes. As soon as I was blinded by the lights that were flashing I seemed to lose consciousness‚ unless the lights caused me to forget everything leaving me no memory of anything afterwards.Throughout these short minutes‚ the object made absolutely no sound. It was as if it was making everything around it completely quiet. If you have ever heard the saying &;quot;Silence is Deafening‚&;quot; I would have to agree‚ that there were no sounds made after I noticed the object above me. This was extremely strange since my home is on a main road‚ and relatively close to the Pennsylvania Turnpike. Hearing not even the sound of a cricket chirp or the hum of the highway was definitely weird. I also remember the silence being almost suffocating. It felt very heavy as if it were making the air thick like soup.In my short‚ and very close observation‚ I remember the object being about 20 to 40 feet above me‚ the space in between my house‚ and the neighbor's house‚ and the tree in between the front of our homes was blocking out a portion of this large object. There was no wind as if Time had stopped in its tracks. This is all simply speculation‚ but it was what it seemed to me.After I lost consciousness‚ it got extremely bizarre. I remember waking up without any senses except for my sight and sense of balance. I was lying down with my eyes looking upwards towards what seemed to be a ceiling. My eyes were not working correctly though. It was as if I had been administered eye drops that you would get at the doctor to dilate your pupils. Everything was very blurry and distorted. I remember very little‚ but I do remember everything was a green/brown/gray color around me. I also remember seeing strange objects above me that appeared to be tools or examination equipment‚ none of which seemed to be created by humans. It was very very blurry though so it was hard to tell if that was exactly what it was.I then remember a figure moving into view above me. I was unable to move at all‚ and my vision was very poor so I could discern nothing about this being other than it seemed a little taller than I am and it had appendages like a human being (arms‚ torso‚ head‚ legs‚ etc.). It did not speak to me‚ however‚ I seemed to hear a voice in my head. It was much less a voice than it was a feeling or emotion being conveyed. The very last thing I can remember was feeling very calm as if this being was trying to help me in some sort of way. The &;quot;trying to help you&;quot; feeling I received was much less about me in particular‚ but more of a &;quot;you&;quot; as in &;quot;your race.&;quot; I then saw one of the objects above me move slightly‚ and I lost consciousness again.When I came to I was sitting on the edge of my bed. My bed was made very neatly as if I had never laid down at all that night. When I looked at my alarm clock‚ the time was about 4:45 am. I tried to remember how I got there‚ but nothing came to mind. I tried to sleep‚ but my thoughts were buzzing faster than I could even keep up with. I could not sleep no matter how hard I tried that night. The only thing I kept asking myself was‚ &;quot;Why wasn't I scared or afraid throughout this entire experience&;#63;&;quot;I am not trying to garner attention in any way shape or form with this.. This is why I am choosing to remain anonymous. I just hope that maybe this can help somebody understand things a little better‚ even if I can not understand any of this myself.I always thought the UFO phenomenon was a bunch of crap before this experience. Since this experience‚ I have been haunted‚ and have wanted to tell somebody but have always been too afraid of being called a crackpot. The only person I have ever told this story to is my best friend‚ and he is probably the only person who will ever know who I am and what I witnessed. I have witnessed a few other strange occurrences that happened after this account I have just given you‚ but they are far less important I think.I hope this will help in some way shape or form.&;quot; MWENDIGO MYTHOLOGY - WHAT ARE THEY&;#63; | Join Us For LIVE CHAT | Questions &; Answers #Wendigo #CannibalLISTEN TO NARRATIONS OF PHANTOMS &; MONSTERS REPORTS &; CASES - PLEASE SUBSCRIBE‚ LIKE &; SHAREPHANTOMS &; MONSTERS RADIO Podcasts on SpotifyPHANTOMS &; MONSTERS READING LISTCHICAGO MOTHMAN / O'HARE BATMAN YouTube PlaylistHave you had a sighting or encounter&;#63;Contact me by email or call the hotline at 410-241-5974Thanks.

A British experiencer details their unexplained account of high strangeness when a series of symbols or hieroglyphs appear on the ceiling of the bedroom. Was this a message&;#63;I received the following inquiry:&;quot;Hi Lon‚ my name is BA‚ age 65. I live in a small village situated on the banks of the River Humber in the east riding of Yorkshire. I had a strange experience in the early hours of this morning‚ which I would like to relate to you.I went to bed last night feeling very tired‚ I usually nod off straight away as soon as my head hits the pillow‚ no problem there‚ but last night for some reason I found myself unusually wide awake‚ this was strange because as I said previously‚ I was feeling very tired. I tossed and turned into the early hours of the morning resigned myself to to the fact that I was not going to fall asleep. I’m a singer in a duo and was turning over various comedy scenarios I could integrate into our act. I was laid face down on the bed. I turned over onto my back‚ my eyes wide open gazing up at the ceiling. The room was totally dark‚ apart from a clock we have which projects the time onto the ceiling‚ the circumference of the projected light would be around 8 inches in diameter.Gazing up at the ceiling‚ I couldn’t believe my eyes‚ I could only describe it as looking at a blackboard covered in strange symbols‚ like Egyptian hieroglyphics. I reached out for my glasses and put them on. The symbols were white‚ so clear and distinct‚ and covered the whole ceiling. I must add that I did not feel frightened at what I was observing. The only thoughts I had‚ were‚ was I supposed to understand this&;#63; It was as if a teacher had taken a stick of chalk and filled the ceiling with some form of equation. It was so clear and distinct‚ albeit there were no numbers or letters‚ just strange markings like triangles squares‚ and other shapes.After gazing at and studying this scene for about 5 minutes or so‚ the symbols just started to fade away and the ceiling returned to total darkness. I was just left with the feeling that this was a form of language and it was a message‚ that I was supposed to understand. Has anyone else experienced anything of this type of experience I wonder. Regards BA.&;quot;NOTE: I have been receiving more and more of these type of inquiries over the past few years or so. Has the veil between our universe and other dimensions thinned to the point that we are receiving information from the other side&;#63; Or is this an intentional attempt to communicate with other beings&;#63; LonThe Hidden Reality: Parallel Universes and the Deep Laws of the CosmosWe Are Not Alone: A Complete Guide to Interdimensional CooperationInterdimensional Universe: The New Science of UFOs‚ Paranormal Phenomena and Otherdimensional BeingsWENDIGO MYTHOLOGY - WHAT ARE THEY&;#63; | Join Us For LIVE CHAT | Questions &; Answers #Wendigo #CannibalLISTEN TO NARRATIONS OF PHANTOMS &; MONSTERS REPORTS &; CASES - PLEASE SUBSCRIBE‚ LIKE &; SHAREPHANTOMS &; MONSTERS RADIO Podcasts on SpotifyPHANTOMS &; MONSTERS READING LISTCHICAGO MOTHMAN / O'HARE BATMAN YouTube PlaylistHave you had a sighting or encounter&;#63;Contact me by email or call the hotline at 410-241-5974Thanks.
