Sometimes I watch (well, mostly listen to) obscure movies that have been ripped onto YouTube. I do this in the hope of finding some overlooked "gem." As you can imagine, such a gem is rare indeed; in fact, so far, I've not found a single one. But earlier today, I did find something that might actually be called interesting. It was in a movie called The Omega Code, which was released in October 1999, obviously timed to coincide with the coming of the new millennium. It is a very bad movie. It's like an end-of-days, "Antichrist Comes In The 21st...

Robert Kennedy Jr. was on such good terms with Jeffrey Epstein that he had free use of the billionaire pedophile’s Manhattan office in 1993 — and partied with him ... Bobby never could keep dates or wives straight... They were irrelevant to him. ... Oxenberg’s account which may raise most questions over RFK’s attempt to minimize his Epstein connection — because it describes how Maxwell was part of Kennedy’s family circle long before his affair with Mary Richardson began. Oxenberg is a member of the deposed Serbian royal family — Britain’s Prince Andrew is a second cousin — while her...

Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., criticized Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., for allegedly blocking her request to file a subpoena for Jeffrey Epstein's flight logs. "@SenatorDurbin BLOCKED my request to subpoena Jeffrey Epstein’s flight logs. What are Democrats trying to hide?," Blackburn posted on X. Blackburn called Durbin's actions a "sad day in the history of the prestigious Judiciary Committee." "Senate Democrats have long been trying to undermine the Supreme Court and Justice Clarence Thomas, but want to ignore Justice Sotomayor allegedly using her taxpayer-funded staff to coordinate speaking engagements in exchange for selling and promoting thousands of her books. They...

A Jeffrey Epstein sex-trafficking victim who testified against his accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell, has reportedly died under mysterious circumstances. The Daily Beast reported Saturday that Carolyn Andriano, whose testimony was crucial to putting away Maxwell in 2021, was found unresponsive in a West Palm Beach hotel room on May 23. West Palm Beach police opened an investigation into Andriano’s death, but told The Daily Beast that the investigation was concluding and that she died of an accidental overdose. According to The Daily Beast, Andriano’s mother is furious with the outcome. “She was all set up for a whole new lifestyle,” the...

One of Jeffrey Epstein’s victims who testified against Ghislaine Maxwell has mysteriously died. Jeffrey Epstein’s pimp Ghislaine Maxwell was sentenced to 20 years in prison earlier this year. Maxwell worked as Jeffrey Epstein’s pimp for years and the DOJ knew they were running girls as young as 12 but they refused to act. Carolyn Andriano, one of Epstein’s victims who testified against Maxwell, was found unresponsive in a West Palm Beach hotel earlier this year. There was no funeral or obituary and West Palm Beach police opened an investigation into her death after it was concluded she died of an...

For those who think the truth about the crime and slime associated with Jeffrey Epstein has been deep-sixed down the memory hole, there may be another bite at this rotten apple. Mimi Lui, an attorney representing the U.S. Virgin Islands, has filed suit in federal court against JPMorgan Chase. Lui charged that over $1 billion in suspicious transactions have been reported to the U.S. Treasury since Epstein’s death and that JPMorgan Chase ignored sex-trafficking red flags over many years, thus enabling these crimes. ... The Virgin Islands currently wants a minimum of $190 million from the financial giant for its...

Is there any event Kamala Harris can attend that doesn’t involve tripping over her tongue? It’s become an astounding feat for the office of the vice presidency. She bungles the event whenever the Biden crew lets her do something publicly. It’s not the most exciting job. The most powerful vice president in American history is arguably Dick Cheney, whose influence was omnipresent in DC during the Bush years. Was he the puppet master? No, that’s an overblown liberal narrative, but he did have access and weighed in on decisions where previous VPs wouldn’t even be near the discussion. The litmus...

Behind bars, his most famous accomplice – and the only one that has faced any repercussions – is so afraid to be targeted, she can’t even brave taking showers. Disgraced socialite Ghislaine Maxwell is constantly in hot water with FCI Tallahassee prison administration, ever since she used the prison’s video visit system to give an interview claiming that the infamous photograph of Prince Andrew with Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre was a fake. After lodging over 400 complaints, she has earned the nickname ‘prison Karen’ in the low-security federal prison where she’s serving a 20-year sentence. In her lastest episode, Maxwell...

'Prison Karen' Ghislaine Maxwell tattled on a transgender cellmate for having raucous sex sessions in the bunk above her, DailyMail.com can exclusively reveal. Tensions flared when Maxwell, 61, was placed in the same four-bed 'cube' as a heavily-tattooed inmate nicknamed Batman – who began transitioning from female to male while locked up for a firearm offense. The disgraced socialite first took exception to her new 'bunkie' hanging boxers and socks over the metal rungs of the bed to dry, according to sources inside FCI Tallahassee, where Maxwell is serving 20 years for grooming Jeffrey Epstein's victims. Their bickering turned even...

Yes, the headline is just a bit hyperbolic, but only a bit. Pedophilia will remain illegal in Connecticut, but non-practicing pedophiles (do such people actually exist, or are they simply not-yet-arrested pedophiles?) may soon become a protected class in the state.I’ve written about the battle over changing human rights laws in Connecticut before, in two separate articles. The first is on the law itself, and the second is on a gay rights activist who has joined the battle to defeat the law.Well, the law has moved forward despite a significant battle in which even some Republicans have joined the radical...

NEW YORK, June 9 (Reuters) - Jes Staley, the onetime asset management chief at JPMorgan Chase (JPM.N), is set to be questioned under oath over the weekend about his ties to the late financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, according to a person familiar with the matter. The deposition, which is not public, is part of evidence-gathering for two civil lawsuits against the largest U.S. bank. One is by a proposed class of women who say they were abused by Epstein, and the other is by the U.S. Virgin Islands, where Epstein allegedly abused women on a private island he...

The revelations about the Jeffrey Epstein trafficking ring as coming hard and fast, but so far, few stories can compare in terms of impact with the revelations around Mila Antonova, who as a young woman was said to be a ‘lover’ of billionaire Microsoft founder Bill Gates. We now have seen evidence of a link between Antonova and Russian spy Anna Chapman, and we also learned that Epstein tried to leverage his knowledge of Gates’ relationship with Antonova in order to compel him into investing in a ‘charitable fund’ that the pedophile was setting up. The Daily Mail has reported...

The Duchess of York met with Jeffrey Epstein in 2010 even though he was still under house arrest for having sex with underage girls, files obtained by DailyMail.com indicate. The pedophile's private calendars from March that year reveal that he would make room in his schedule for Sarah Ferguson, the ex-wife of Prince Andrew. At the time Epstein still had five months of house arrest left for admitting to soliciting a minor for prostitution, an offense for which he served a 13-month jail sentence and was labeled a registered sex offender. Epstein told his assistant: 'Duchess anytime.' .....

The plot thickens. The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Jeffrey Epstein tried to blackmail Bill Gates after learning about an affair Gates had with a young woman. Epstein learned that Gates had an affair with a Russian bridge player and when Gates shot down a donation request from Epstein, Jeffrey sent him an email reminding the Microsoft founder what he knew. According to The Wall Street Journal: “The Microsoft co-founder met the woman around 2010, when she was in her 20s. Epstein met her in 2013 and later paid for her to attend software coding school. In 2017, Epstein...

There has long been speculation that Jeffrey Epstein acquired much of his murky fortune and influence through a sophisticated blackmail operation, but there has been no solid evidence reported in support of this theory. Until today. The Wall Street Journal is out mid-day with a genuine bombshell story that Epstein attempted to exploit an affair Gates had in 2010 with a young Russian bridge player to coerce Gates into contributing at least $100 million to a foundation that Epstein was trying to launch, and from which he’d receive substantial “management” fees in the millions of dollars. The Journal somehow got...

Elon Musk raised questions about deceased convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s list of clients in a series of tweets – suggesting it was “odd” that the information still hasn’t surfaced. Musk commented on the situation alongside a meme labeled “things I’ll never see in my life” with photos of a dragon, dinosaurs, a unicorn and the words “the Epstein/Maxwell client list.” “Only thing more remarkable than DOJ not leaking the list is that no one in the media cares,” Musk tweeted ... “Doesn’t that seem odd?” “Sometimes I think my list of enemies is too short, so …” Musk added....

Billionaire LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman visited Jeffrey Epstein’s private island and had plans to stay at Epstein’s notorious Manhattan townhouse back in 2014.. Hoffman, 55, paid a single visit to Epstein’s Caribbean island Little St. James — also known as “pedophile island,” where Epstein and gal pal Ghislaine Maxwell allegedly abused underage girls, The Wall Street Journal reported. Joi Ito, the then-MIT Media Lab director, was also in attendance, and had asked Hoffman and Epstein to help him raise funds for MIT, ... The documents also detailed Hoffman’s plans to stay the night in Epstein’s townhouse following a late-night flight...

An attorney representing some of the women who say they are survivors of convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein sent a letter to Justice Department officials demanding an investigation into what she says is the FBI's "seriously bungled examination" of the late financier. Lawyer Jennifer Freeman, an attorney with Marsh Law Firm who says she is "counsel to many survivors of the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking conspiracy," wrote a letter last week to FBI Director Christopher Wray, Attorney General Merrick Garland and Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz. "The FBI utterly failed to investigate serious allegations involving Epstein’s, and perhaps others', child...
