In a recent piece in The Atlantic, Reuel Marc Gerecht, a senior fellow with the neoconservative Foundation for Defense of Democracies, urged the United States to confront Turkey. According to Gerecht, Turkey has emerged, under the presidency of Recep Tayyip Erdogan, “as perhaps the greatest danger to Israel in the Middle East, escalating the threat of a conflict he won’t be able to avoid.” Gerecht charges Erdogan with setting the stage for a clash with Israel as a key tactic in his power projection strategy abroad. To reduce the risk of “yet another regional war,” Gerecht urges President Donald Trump...

Former socialite and convicted sex offender, Ghislaine Maxwell is now asking the US Supreme Court to hear her appeal against a 2021 conviction on five counts of aiding convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein in his sexual abuse of young girls.

Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch announced today it filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Justice for records regarding Jeffrey Epstein, including any records on the identities of clients or associates of Epstein (Judicial Watch Inc. v. U.S. Department of Justice (No. 1:25-cv-01056)).

Jeffrey Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre, formerly known as Virginia Roberts, announced on Instagram Sunday that she has just days to live after a high-speed crash involving a school bus in Australia led to kidney failure. This year has been the worst start to a new year, but I won’t bore anyone with the details but I think it [is] important to note that when a school bus driver comes at you driving 110km (about 70 mph) as we were slowing for a turn that no matter what your car is made of it might as well be a tin can,"...

Virginia Giuffre, the most prominent victim of Jeffrey Epstein who accused some of the world’s most powerful men of sex trafficking, says she had just days left to live after being hit by a bus. The mother-of-three, 41, who was sex trafficked by Epstein as a teenager, shared a battered picture of herself from a hospital bed covered in bruises.

There’s a terrifying trend happening right now—and most of the so-called “experts” who have let us down in every way imaginable are pretending not to see it. So, what’s happening? Well, cancer is exploding. And not just in adults. Children—actually very young children—are now being diagnosed with these extremely aggressive, fast-moving cancers at a rate that’s impossible to ignore. But instead of asking hard questions, the same crowd of “experts” that once shouted down anyone who dared question the COVID vaccine has gone radio silent. Suddenly, they’ve lost all curiosity. Suddenly, they don’t want to “follow the science.” ... The...

The issue of sex trafficking minors is often treated as a cut-and-dry issue: Soliciting minors for sex is BAD. All caps. We have to protect children. No room for daylight. But we all know that real life is more complicated than a pat answer. Nothing is wholly black and white. Not every act of sexual solicitation is made through a car window on a dark street, not every payment is money left by the bedside table — and not every sexual act committed by a minor is inherently sex trafficking.

Jane Roberts – the wife of Chief Justice John Roberts – was paid $10 million as a legal "recruiter" for corporate firms with cases before the Supreme Court. A flagrant conflict of interest. The Court's justices are incapable of policing themselves. Congress must act. ... the spouse of US Chief Justice John Roberts was hauling in millions of dollars as a legal "recruiter" for corporate firms – some of which had cases before her husband's court:

The Justice Department is in the midst of an urgent and chaotic effort to review sensitive materials from the FBI investigation into the convicted sex offender and financier Jeffrey Epstein, with Attorney General Pam Bondi pushing the FBI and her own department to release more files from the case amid continued pressure from President Donald Trump's supporters, multiple sources told ABC News. As many as a thousand FBI agents, many of whom are usually focusing on national security matters, have been enlisted to help with the effort, sources said.

EXPLOSIVE: “It is good that the Chinese currency has become the global reserve currency.” Is Canada's Mark Carney the REAL Manchurian Candidate? And does Mark Carney want to TANK the US Dollar? “Yet another ‘impartial’ British bureaucrat goes into left-wing politics. At @bankofengland, Carney backed ruinous Net Zero policies and money printing. The British state is completely rigged. A new Government in 2029 needs to dismantle this apparatus.” That’s how former British Prime Minister Liz Truss summed up the selection on X — NOT ELECTION — of Mark Carney as the new Liberal Party of Canada leader and soon to...

Elon Musk is fueling speculation about the veracity of the infamous “Pizzagate” controversy after one of the leading mainstream media voices who called the issue “debunked” pleaded guilty to charges of trafficking child pornography. In a series of posts on X, Musk posted an “Office”-themed meme about the arrest of James Gordon Meek, a 13-year veteran of ABC News who in July reached a deal with federal prosecutors that saw him plead guilty to possessing dozens of child abuse images. Another post by Musk linked to an NBC news story about Meek’s plea deal. Does seem at least a little...

Jes Staley used his daughter as a 'vehicle of communication' to maintain contact with Jeffrey Epstein after taking the top job at Barclays, a court has heard. The 68-year-old claims he had a 'professional' relationship with the disgraced financier, and he cut all ties with him before he became the bank's chief executive in December 2015. But the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) told London's Upper Tribunal today that the former boss had 'ongoing, indirect contact' with the convicted sex offender up until 2017. It also claimed a bombshell cache of emails showed that he told the serial paedophile via his...

Canada’s incoming prime minister, Mark Carney, has some photos with Jeffrey Epstein’s longtime accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell that he’d rather you not see. Opponents are circulating the 2013 photos, which show Carney smiling alongside Maxwell — who was convicted of sex trafficking in 2021. The shots were taken at a music festival in the UK. Carney’s camp says that the images are nothing more than a political ploy ahead of the Canadian federal election later this year. In the photos, the 59-year-old was joined by his wife and another man, all of whom appeared friendly with Maxwell as they laughed and...

Jes Staley’s condition may have led to ‘a mistake’ in describing ties to paedophile, the bank’s chairman told the FCA. Jes Staley did not give a clear account of his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein because of his dyslexia, according to Barclays’ chairman. In evidence to the High Court on Friday, it was revealed that Nigel Higgins claimed to the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) that Mr Staley “doesn’t read a lot” and “may have made a mistake” during an investigation into his relationship with the paedophile financier. Mr Higgins defended his former colleague by claiming he had “no motive” to mislead...

Republican Florida Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, Friday on Fox News, called out the U.S. Department of Justice’s (DOJ’s) silence over the release of deceased pedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s full files and urged U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi to publicize the remaining documents. Following an uneventful release of the first phase of ‘The Epstein Files’ — an over 100-page document — which failed to contain a majority of new information, Bondi announced Monday that the DOJ had received thousands of missing documents. On “Jesse Watters Primetime,” Watters asked Luna, who is leading the House Oversight Committee’s Task Force on the Declassification of...

"Thousands of pages of documents." "I have the FBI going through them." "It's now in the possession of the FBI." "Kash is going to get me a detailed report as to why all these documents and evidence had been withheld."

NEW YORK (WABC) -- The head of the FBI in New York forcibly resigned Monday in the latest high-level shakeup at the bureau under the Trump administration. James Dennehy, a well-regarded leader in the New York law enforcement community who also served in the U.S. Marine Corps, told the office he was forced to submit his resignation as assistant director-in-charge of the FBI's New York field office, one of the bureau's most visible posts.

A former boss of Barclays, who was ousted from the bank over his links to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, will seek to clear his name in court this week. Jes Staley was forced out in November 2021 after UK regulators ruled he had failed to accurately disclose the nature and length of his relationship with Epstein to the Barclays board. The episode cost Mr Staley, a man with a glittering and rewarding career in investment banking, £18m in pay and bonuses and, more importantly, his reputation. -snip- A cache of emails released by his former employer JP Morgan suggested...

Maurene Comey previously worked as the lead prosecutor on both the Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell cases. She also worked on the case involving former Epstein cellmate Nicholas Tartaglione. Fox News anchor Jesse Watters suggested that Maurene Comey, an assistant U.S. attorney in the Southern District of New York, might have played a role in the FBI's failure to release the top-secret documents. According to Attorney General Pam Bondi, the FBI Field Office in Manhattan had never disclosed the existence of "thousands of documents” related to Epstein. “Epstein was facing sex trafficking charges in lower Manhattan, where's all that paperwork?'...
