* Insider has obtained a never-before-seen address book that appears to have belonged to Jeffrey Epstein in the '90s, connecting him to a new network of prominent financiers and political figures, including Melania Trump's best friend. * The book, which contains 349 names, offers a window into the late sex offender's social circle a full decade before the era covered by his previously known "little black book." More than 200 names listed in the book did not appear in Epstein's later address book. * Prominent entries not previously associated with Epstein include Morgan Fairchild, Suzanne Ircha, Carl Icahn, John A....

Jeffrey Epstein is going to name names — again. A mysterious “black book” believed to belong to the late pedophile financier, which revealed the names and addresses of 221 previously undisclosed people, is going up for auction — and bidders are being assured that their identities will be kept secret. It could fetch up to $200,000 — or more, the auction house owner told the Daily Beast, which first reported the story. **SNIP** The book was reportedly found on Fifth Avenue in the East Village by a female musician in the 1990s, but how it came to be there remains...

President Joe Biden said Wednesday that he's considering ending the prosecution of Wikileaks founder Julian Assange. In February, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese requested that the yearslong prosecution of Assange be ended and that he be returned to his native Australia. Biden is entertaining a fellow member of the Quad, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, at the White House Wednesday for an official state visit. 'We're considering it,' Biden told reporters when asked about Assange as he walked with Kishida along the colonnade of the White House after Wednesday's welcome ceremony on the South Lawn. Assange is in custody in...

The former bodyguard of Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ claims the music mogul had blackmail tapes of politicians, princes and other prominent individuals who were involved in his sex parties. Combs, who has been hit with a barrage of physical abuse, rape and sexual trafficking allegations, had his homes in Miami and Los Angeles raided by the Department of Homeland Security last month, during which federal agents seized computers and other electronic devices. Gene Deal, who was present the night when Notorious B.I.G. was fatally shot in 1997, made the sensational comments during an interview with ‘The Art of Dialogue’ YouTube channel....

Epstein was a disgraced billionaire who died in prison after being arrested on suspicion of child sex trafficking (and who previously had been convicted of child sex offenses). He owned a small island in the U.S. Virgin Islands named Little St. James. On a webpage last updated in 2018, a website unaffiliated with Disney advertised several purported optional excursions available to people on Disney cruises that stopped at St. Thomas and St. John Islands. One of the trips, “Captain Nautica’s Snorkeling Expedition,” advertised for children 8 and up, included this description: "Be whisked away aboard the captain’s RIB power boat...

Florida governor Ron DeSantis has signed a bill approving the release of records relating to the first probe into Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking operation. The Republican traveled to Palm Beach to sign the bill, HB 117, which will open access to the 2006 grand jury that resulted in a criminal charge against the disgraced financier that many called questionably lenient. 'There were a lot of questions about what happened where you had a sweetheart deal... This is long overdue but again, we feel that we can't just turn a blind eye,' said DeSantis, who was accompanied by two of Epstein's...

Alexei Navalny’s death in a Russian prison camp elicited widespread condemnation, and Western leaders demanded that Russian President Vladimir Putin be held accountable. A fierce Putin critic, Navalny returned to Russia in January 2021 after recovering from a 2020 attempted assassination by poisoning that was almost certainly ordered by the Kremlin. He was immediately jailed. President Joe Biden said Friday, “Make no mistake: Putin is responsible for Navalny’s death … What has happened to Navalny is yet more proof of Putin’s brutality.” Of course, there are always exceptions. In 2020, then-President Donald Trump declined to blame Russia’s government for the...

President Joe Biden said Friday he was both "not surprised" and "outraged" by reports of the death of Alexei Navalny, the longtime Russian opposition politician and critic of Vladimir Putin. Russia's Federal Penitentiary Service announced Navalny died in prison. The service claimed Navalny, 47, lost consciousness after a walk but gave no official cause of death. "Russian authorities are going to tell their own story," Biden said in remarks delivered from the Roosevelt Room. "Make no mistake: Putin is responsible for Navalny's death."

Journalist Whitney Webb sits down with Redacted's Clayton Morris for a dense conversation about her bombshell new book on Jeffrey Epstein's deep connections to the world's biggest power players. She exposes the deep corruption and cover up at the heart of the western power structure.

In a recent development in the case between Virginia L. Giuffre and Ghislaine Maxwell, a transcript of a videotaped deposition of Ghislaine Maxwell taken in New York in 2016 was released on Friday. The deposition, held at the law offices of Boies Schiller & Flexner, contains confidential information and has brought crucial details regarding the allegations and legal proceedings surrounding the case to the forefront. Some key points: Maxwell confirmed she began working for Epstein around 1992. Her role evolved over time, including overseeing construction projects and staffing for Epstein’s properties. Her active involvement decreased around 2002-2003, although she occasionally...

The Truth Seeker @TruthSeeker543 Were you aware that Donald Barr employed a very young and unqualified 21-year-old Jeffrey Epstein to teach at one of the most elite private schools in New York City? Interestingly, Donald Barr also wrote a disturbing book called Space Relation which is about young children—a topic too unsettling to discuss here. More info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Relations … It gets even more strange. Donald's son, Bill Barr, served as the Attorney General of the DOJ, and Jeffrey Epstein committed "suicide " under his watch. It's probably just a series of coincidences, though. Nothing to see here.

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Tuesday took Republicans to task over a report that GOP governors in 15 states are shunning a new federally-funded food assistance program for hungry kids in the summer. “What is wrong with these people?” Clinton asked on X, formerly Twitter. The 2016 Democratic presidential candidate shared The Washington Post’s coverage of the move and quoted the first paragraph of its story: “Republican governors in 15 states are rejecting a new federally funded program to give food assistance to hungry children during the summer months, denying benefits to 8 million children across the country.”

Alan Dershowitz says Lynne Rothschild is "at the center of the entire (Epstein Island) Enterprise." If throwing people under a bus was an Olympic event, Alan would get a gold medal for this.

During CBS’s Iowa caucus coverage on Monday, Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker (D) stated that the surge in Venezuelan migrants is the fault of 2024 Republican presidential candidate former President Donald Trump because he “created the chaos that’s happened in Venezuela that’s caused so many people to leave that country and seek asylum in the United States.” And that while immigration will be “an important issue to people,” “what people really care about is their own well-being, their family’s well-being,” and economic issues are “things that really matter to people in their personal lives.” Pritzker said, “Well, I think it’ll be...

Governor JB Pritzker (D-IL) said Monday on MSNBC’s Iowa caucus coverage that the “weakness” of former President Donald Trump was shown in his 30-plus point win. Pritzker said, “Almost half of the base of the Republican Party showing up for this caucus tonight voted against Donald Trump. Think about that. I mean, this is the most famous Republican. He’s the guy who, you know, basically built the modern Republican Party, the MAGA Republican Party that the Democrats are running against. Half of the people in that party did not vote for Donald Trump.” He continued, “I think that is telling....

Governor J.B. Pritzker (D-IL) claimed Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that Republicans were trying to take away Americans’ freedoms. Pritzker said, “Independents understand that, as Democrats do, that it’s the Republicans that are trying to take your freedoms away. It’s the Republicans that are trying to take away your Social Security and your Medicare. It’s the Republicans that are basically fighting against the working families of America.”

An alleged survivor of Jeffrey Epstein's sex-trafficking ring has detailed her reaction to this month's 'retraumatizing' document dump - which has her lawyer already airing plans to sue the FBI. Joined by attorney Jennifer Freeman, Elizabeth Stein said she is also suing Ghislaine Maxwell and the late sex pest's estate, after reading an impact statement at the socialite's sentencing that claimed she was a student when Maxwell approached her. Speaking to Law&Crime, she provided a similar account of how she was allegedly thrust into Epstein's sordid syndicate - before detailing how the document's release has impacted her and others who...

Welcome to another attempt at Media Excellence January should be designated as "FBI Crimes Month" everything from January 6th to the FBI's extensive spying on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. comes to mind...

But in the last set of documents that came out Tuesday the deposition of Sarah Ransome and her allegations regarding...

The Clinton Library 'swiftly' deleted a post that asked people to guess who the ex-president sent his first email to in 1998 after the library was trolled with answers that it was pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. The incident took place on Monday to mark World Typing Day, a day held each year on January 8, and one week after New Year's Day, a day known to 'encourage people to express themselves via written communication.' The historic post shows a photo of Clinton sitting in front of a laptop computer, looking intently at the screen, with both of his hands typing on...
