New York (CNN Business)A businessman and a fringe internet activist who each played key roles in the conspiracy theory about Seth Rich, the slain Democratic National Committee staffer whose death was used by right-wing activists as a vehicle to help exonerate Russia from its 2016 election meddling, retracted and apologized for their statements this week.
"I take full responsibility for my comments and I apologize for any pain I have caused," the businessman, Ed Butowsky, said in a statement retracting his previous comments. "I sincerely hope the Rich family is able to find out who murdered their son and bring this tragic chapter in their lives to a close."
"Today we retract and disavow our statements and we offer our apology to Mr. Rich and his family," said the fringe internet activist, Matt Couch, in a separate video posted online. "I take full responsibility for my actions ... and would like to apologize to Mr. Rich and his family."
The retractions came as part of a settlement Aaron Rich, Seth Rich's brother, reached with Butowsky and Couch over a lawsuit he filed against them in March 2018. The terms of the settlement were not disclosed. The Washington Times, a conservative news outlet that was also sued, also retracted its claims and settled with Aaron Rich in October 2018.
In a statement, Aaron Rich said he was "gratified" at the fact the two have "taken responsibility for the statements they have made."
"In the more than four years since we lost Seth, the accusations made against our family have only served to prolong our grief without bringing us any closer to finding Seth's murderer," Aaron Rich added. "Although we will never be at peace until we obtain justice for Seth's murder, I hope that these events may encourage others to pause and consider the impact of accusing strangers of wrongdoing, give law enforcement space to do their jobs, and let us remember Seth in peace and with privacy."

Those "pearls" are fake. Real pearls don't grow anywhere near that big.
Weren’t Barbara Bush and RBG known for pearls? Do they represent something (symbolically)?

It's time to take a real good look at what we're up against. In short it is Humanity vs Transhumanism in politics, the economy, technology, psychology, spirituality and more!
Let's spread it far and wide...!

Imagine for one moment, that through some sort of advanced EBS, the world was addressed, and told about the evil that has infiltrated every aspect of our lives. That Trump was just doing his job, and that a plan has been in place to sort it all out.
Who would you trust? Who is well known enough to deliver this message for it to ever be believed?
It wouldn't be Trump... we all know this. In a sense, it isn't our opinion that matters. It is those that are still neck deep in the big lie... still believe the news and the lying politicians. Who delivers that message? Who is universally loved? Who was attacked by the royals, the media? Who was so loved, that the world stopped on the news of their death? One of the greatest, unpunished travesties in living memory? Who did the people embrace?
Who had inside knowledge of one of the most secretive powers on the planet? Who worked endlessly for children, people with serious illnesses, the homeless, and many others?
What if...

One could imagine, that everyone would listen and pay attention to the right person, and rejoice in seeing them again, but take seriously every word they had to say.
Which card is the Trump card? Who is the Q? Where does love come from?
Just things to ponder. Things I am pondering.
I'm not saying this is true, but the more I think about it...
Is that a mans hand, or a woman's? I'm unsure, but I have heard quite often that we'll like the way this movie ends.
I'm still rooting for the good guys, no matter what happens or what little I have to endure. Sometimes, just sometimes, the unimaginable happens, and I want to believe.
I just found this image of Barron (scroll down the page a bit when you open the site) and it shows his left thumb pretty clearly. Just looking at the length of the thumb, and the cuticle shape, it could definitely be his hand.
