| You Wanted All of the Epstein Files? Not So Fast… |
| You’re probably feeling disappointed if you hoped Thursday’s Epstein releases would yield anything groundbreaking. Although the names in his contact list are interesting, they do not come close to offering information that will lead to arrests or the exposure of the notorious pedophile and his associates’ darkest secrets. His friends are safe for another day. There may be a reason behind the documents’ underwhelming contents. According to Attorney General Pam Bondi, the FBI withheld “thousands of pages” of Epstein information from her despite repeated requests for the full files. Why would it do that? Bondi demanded the Bureau turn over all documents by this morning. Whether that happens will be telling of how deep the Deep State really is. Read more. |

| The Epstein Story Matters. A Lot. |
| We would never insult your intelligence by entertaining the possibility that Jeffrey Epstein killed himself. The government might think you’re imbecilic enough to buy the suicide narrative, but we certainly do not. How could anyone believe their story? Recall what transpired the night the notorious pedophile “took his own life.” Epstein was supposed to have a cellmate, but he just so happened to be alone during his final living hours. There goes a would-be witness. Prison guards were scheduled to check on him every 30 minutes, but the pair assigned to his block fell asleep and left Epstein unmonitored for roughly three hours. Two more potential witnesses gone. And as the cherry on top, the two cameras recording Epstein’s cell “coincidentally” malfunctioned, failing to capture footage of the high-profile inmate’s sudden demise. Up in smoke go the most ironclad observers imaginable. Only one of that trifecta’s events wouldn’t have meant anything. Mistakes can happen, even in high-stakes environments. Two would have been shady, but not necessarily conclusive. Coincidences are possible. But all three? And at the same time? Come on. There’s no way. Even the slightest ounce of common sense suggests the “suicide” was actually a murder, leaving those engulfed with curiosity stuck wondering who may have done it. That’s where the Epstein files come in. While future DOJ releases are unlikely to conclusively expose any of Epstein’s potential pedo-ring co-conspirators, they will definitely give the public an idea of who could have had a reason to want the disgraced billionaire dead. He knew a lot of things about a lot of people. Silencing him for good was the only way to guarantee those secrets never went public. One might think Epstein’s living situation would have protected him from whoever sought to take him out. He resided at the Metropolitan Correctional Center, known as the “Guantanamo of New York”, a high-security prison in America’s largest city. It was supposed to be among the most secure places in the world. But clearly it wasn’t. Whoever offed Epstein did it despite the government’s best possible efforts to keep him safe. That means there is some force, or likely forces, powerful enough to brush authorities aside like they’re nothing if it ever really wants to. The people “in charge” couldn’t protect Epstein from such a power, a man the public had a vested interest in keeping alive, which means they certainly wouldn’t be able to shield you, either. That’s why the Epstein files matter. If Americans can’t trust their leaders to keep them safe, then who is truly in control of this country? As much as we hate what the serial sex offender did, discovering who had it out for him could unlock the answer. |
| Volodymyr Zelensky Is Here |
| Volodymyr Zelensky will meet with Donald Trump today. The event is centered around the leaders’ expected signing of their recently negotiated mineral deal to reimburse the United States for its billions of dollars of war funding. Although the agreement does not include security guarantees for Ukraine, Trump and Zelensky are expected to discuss what measures can be taken to assure Eastern Europe’s war stops for good once the fighting finally ends. Trump expects Vladimir Putin to keep his word after agreeing to a peace deal. The American president has said the U.S. working on mineral extraction in Ukraine would amount to “automatic security because nobody’s going to be messing around with our people when we’re there.” “It’s a great deal for Ukraine too, because they get us over there and we’re going to be working over there,” he added. “We will be on the land.” Read more. |
