The police did not actively search for her. Now, more than 11 years later, thanks to the Epstein files, some clues have been uncovered. However, the missing woman&#8217;s mother has given up all hope.</p><p>The name of a woman missing since 2015 appears in the Jeffrey Epstein files. The documents released by the US Department of Justice contain E-mails mentioning her name: Michele, who was 22 years old at the time of her disappearance.</p><p>An alleged &#8220;recruiter&#8221; for Epstein apparently tried to arrange a meeting between Epstein and Michele. Rather, this &#8220;recruiter&#8221; probably tried to traffic her to Epstein.</p><p>This &#8220;recruiter&#8221; sent Epstein photos of Michele in 2014. <br>Additionally, he asked for a plane ticket and added: &#8220;You will love her.&#8221; <br>He said she was &#8220;very cool.&#8221; </p><p>In 2015, Michele left her mother&#8217;s apartment in September with just a suitcase. After that, all trace of her was lost. Where she went remains unclear to this day.</p><p>According to relatives, she had been in contact with &#8220;Daniel S.&#8221; since 2012 - a a Jewish man - who apparently <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Siad">worked</a> for Epstein as a &#8220;recruiter.&#8221;</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img"

What is the appropriate amount of justice for the barbarism and brutality Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell <em>and their wealthy collaborators </em>committed against the hundreds of sex abuse victims they raped and trafficked to the world&#8217;s elite?</p><p>Here are the excerpts from the book, <em><strong>Nobody&#8217;s Girl, </strong></em>in the words of Virginia &#8220;Jenna&#8221; Roberts Giuffre, who committed &#8220;suicide&#8221; in April, 2025:</p><ul><li><p><strong>&#8220;Epstein liked to share with me what he insisted were &#8216;scientific&#8217; justification for his yearnings for young girls. For example, he would only have sex with girls who had started menstruating . Why? So that he could assert that&#8212;they were biologically able to bear children&#8212;they were &#8216;of age.&#8217; </strong></p></li><li><p>&#8220;<strong>No matter how young a girl looked, or how sexually inexperienced she was, if she had her period, he felt he could defend his abuse of her as part of the natural order of things.&#8221; </strong></p></li><li><p>&#8220;<strong>He (Epstein) took a certain glee in what he saw as a loophole in society&#8217;s moral code, and no one could convince him sex with minors was wrong&#8230;&#8221; </strong></p></li><li><p><strong>&#8220;Epstein asked me questions: &#8216;Do you have siblings? Two brothers, I said. &#8216;Where do you go to high school? I told him I quit after 9th grade, but I was only 16&#8212;I hoped to get my GED. &#8220;Do you take birth control? Epstein asked. </strong></p></li><li><p>&#8220;<strong>Maxwell peeling off her clothes a mischievous look on her face; Maxwell behind me, unzipping my skirt and pulling my Mar-A-Lago polo shirt over my head; Epstein &amp; Maxwell laughing at my underwear, which were dotted with tiny hearts. &#8216;How cute&#8212;she still wears little girl&#8217;s panties,&#8221; Epstein said. </strong></p></li><li><p><strong>&#8220;Go down on him,&#8221; Maxwell said&#8230;Eventually, Maxwell ordered me to straddle Epstein so he could penetrate me.&#8221; </strong></p></li><li><p><strong>&#8220;Yes, I was sexually abused. My body was used in ways that did enormous damage to me. But the worst things Epstein &amp; Maxwell did to me weren&#8217;t physical, but psychological&#8230;From the start, I was groomed to be complicit in my own devastation. Of all the terrible wounds they inflicted, that forced complicity was the most destructive.&#8221; </strong></p></li><li><p><strong>&#8220;Abusing me in a therapeutic setting jived with how Epstein thought about sex. He would soon explain that he needed to climax at least three times a day. It was a biological imperative, he said, like breathing or eating. For him, sex wasn&#8217;t connected to intimacy or love. It was purely a physical release. Epstein viewed sex almost as a procedure&#8212;one that he preferred to be performed by nubile young girls, like me.&#8221; </strong></p></li><li><p><strong>&#8220;I would come to see Epstein &amp; Maxwell less as boyfriend and girlfriend, and more as two halves of a wicked whole.&#8221; </strong></p></li><li><p>&#8220;<strong>A germaphobe, Epstein was meticulous about what he touched. He mostly refused to shake hands, and he required his sheets be changed every other day. And yet, he relentlessly sought sexual contact with young girls who were strangers to him&#8212;some who lived rough, terrible lives outside his gated compound&#8212;and he never wore a condom&#8230;Epstein believed he didn&#8217;t have to follow the rules that everyone else did.&#8221; </strong></p></li><li><p><strong>&#8220;Epstein often preferred girls with little to no sexual experience. Many victims often described how he seemed to enjoy watching inexperienced girls suffer the discomfort of being introduced to sex by him, an older stranger.&#8221; </strong></p></li><li><p><strong>&#8220;One thing that was happening, and with increasing regularity, was that I was being sexually trafficked by Epstein &amp; Maxwell&#8230;I came to be trafficked to a multitude of powerful men&#8212;candidates for Governor, Senators, billionaires&#8230;</strong></p></li><li><p><strong>&#8220;French modeling Agent Jean-Luc Brunel raped me repeatedly in NY and on Epstein Island. Brunel ran MC2, a modeling agency Epstein invested in. Epstein liked to boast that he&#8217;d had sex with more than 1000 girls supplied by Brunel. On one occasion Epstein told me, Brunel sent him three French 12-year olds&#8212;I think they were triplets&#8212;for his birthday.&#8221; </strong></p></li><li><p><strong>&#8220;On another occasion, Brunel had a group of &#8220;talent&#8221; scouts fly to Brazil in Epstein&#8217;s jet to recruit underaged girls off the soccer field there. They were delivered to Epstein for his use and then returned to Brazil.&#8221; </strong></p></li><li><p><strong>&#8220;Just like Cinderella, I was going to meet a handsome prince. Maxwell&#8217;s old friend, Prince Andrew, would be dining with us. When Prince Andrew arrived at the townhouse that evening, Maxwell was more coquettish than usual. &#8216;Guess Jenna&#8217;s age,&#8217; she urged the Prince after she introduced me. The Duke of York, who was then 41, guessed correctly: 17. &#8216;My daughters are just a few years younger than you..&#8221; (p. 122) EDITORS NOTE: (the famous photo circulating on social media of Prince Andrew with his arm around Jenna&#8217;s waist, with Ghislaine Maxwell standing in the doorway and smiling, was snapped on Jenna&#8217;s camera by Jeffrey Epstein.)</strong></p></li><li><p><strong>&#8220;When we get home, you are to do for him (the Prince) what you do for Jeffrey,&#8221; Maxwell said. Maxwell told me the following morning, &#8216;You did well. The Prince had fun.&#8217; Soon, Epstein would give me $15,000 for servicing the man the tabloids called &#8220;Randy Andy&#8221;&#8212;a lot of money. I hadn&#8217;t wanted to have sex with the Prince, but felt I had to.&#8221; </strong></p></li><li><p><strong>&#8220;Epstein trafficked me to a man who raped me more savagely than anyone had before. We were on Epstein Island when I was ordered to take this man to a cabana&#8212;a well-known Prime Minister, as I described him in legal filings. He repeatedly choked me until I lost consciousness and took pleasure in seeing me fear for my life. Horrifically, the Prime Minister laughed when he hurt me&#8230;I emerged from the cabana bleeding from my mouth, vagina and anus. </strong></p></li><li><p><strong>&#8220;Afterward, I tearfully begged Epstein not to send me back to the Prime Minister. I got down on my knees and pleaded with him. I don&#8217;t know if Epstein feared the man or if he owed him a favor, but he wouldn&#8217;t make any promises, saying coldly of the politician&#8217;s brutality &#8220;You&#8217;ll get that sometimes.&#8221; </strong></p></li><li><p><strong>&#8220;Today I know that Epstein liked to tell friends that women were merely &#8216;a life-support system for a vagina.&#8217;&#8221;</strong></p></li><li><p><strong>&#8220;I know that Epstein made the following chilling distinction: &#8216;I&#8217;m not a sexual predator; I&#8217;m an offender. It&#8217;s the difference between a murderer, and a person who steals a bagel.&#8217;&#8221;</strong></p></li><li><p>&#8220;<strong>At that point, I hit bottom. I now knew I wouldn&#8217;t survive. I saw only two possible options: either someone Epstein trafficked me to would kill me, or I would take my own life.&#8221; </strong></p></li><li><p><strong>&#8220;About 8 weeks or so after my encounter with the Prime Minister, Epstein informed me, as he often did, that he wanted me to service an important friend on one of his jets. Epstein told me what time to be at the private airport in Palm Beach and said I&#8217;d only be up in the air for an hour&#8230;I had no idea who I was meeting that day as I climbed the stairs that led to the plane. Then I ducked my head and stepped inside. &#8216;Hello again,&#8217; said the Prime Minister, the man I feared more than any other. The blood rushed to my head and I could barely breathe. Will he kill me this time?&#8230;I thought I might faint. For the next hour, I was on high alert, braced for a fatal blow. As it turned out, this second encounter with the Prime Minister was more typical of those I&#8217;d had with other men&#8212;his only goal was ejaculation&#8230;&#8221; </strong></p></li></ul><p>Now that you&#8217;ve read all of this, I&#8217;ll ask again:<br>What is the appropriate amount of justice for the barbarism and brutality Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell <em>and their wealthy collaborators </em>committed against the hundreds of sex abuse victims they raped and trafficked to the world&#8217;s elite?</p><p><strong>Relevant reading</strong>:</p><div class="digest-post-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;nodeId&quot;:&quot;55e8410e-626b-4a17-8927-b10d00260a36&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;This content is information the American ruling elite do NOT want you to have access to.

However, the allegation appears in files connected to Epstein, whose sprawling Palm Beach mansion served as the center of many of the activities that ultimately led to his conviction and the federal sex-trafficking investigation that followed.</p><p>The document, dated June 21, 2021, summarizes a call received by the bureau&#8217;s National Threat Operations Center from an individual who claimed to have firsthand knowledge of criminal activity involving Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and Trump.</p><p>Among the allegations in the report, the caller claimed to have recordings of Trump, Epstein, and Maxwell discussing &#8220;marketing strategies&#8221; for high-profile sex parties held at a Trump golf course. The caller alleged the recordings had been mailed to an attorney in the Cayman Islands.</p><p>The tipster further claimed Trump knew about underage sex parties occurring at the golf course and that revenue from the club was used to fund them.</p><div><hr></div><p><strong>This content is information the American ruling elite do NOT want you to have access to.

Other FBI summaries released by the Justice Department indicate complainants making similar allegations were &#8220;deemed not credible,&#8221; and no publicly released records show that authorities excavated any Trump golf course or uncovered evidence supporting the claims.</p><p>The allegations in the report grow even more sensational. According to the FBI summary, the caller alleged that former television personality Robin Leach strangled a young girl during one of the parties and that the victim was buried behind the course&#8217;s 19th hole. The caller claimed to know of three separate instances in which girls were murdered and buried on the property.</p><p>The document contains no indication that investigators corroborated the allegations, nor does it provide evidence supporting the claims. FBI intake reports typically memorialize information provided by tipsters regardless of whether it is ultimately substantiated.</p><p>The caller also claimed ties to the Sinaloa Cartel and alleged that he worked closely with Epstein and Maxwell. According to the report, he told agents he had helped Maxwell develop a camera system at the golf course and assisted cartel members in understanding how to market girls between the ages of 12 and 14 to trafficking victims.</p><p>The FBI document does not indicate whether the bureau investigated the claims further, whether any physical evidence was ever produced, or whether authorities found the allegations credible.</p><p>The release is the latest example of how the Justice Department&#8217;s publication of Epstein-related records has surfaced a mix of previously unknown information, investigative leads, witness statements, and unverified claims that federal investigators have collected over the years.</p><p><strong>Relevant reading</strong>:</p><div class="digest-post-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;nodeId&quot;:&quot;8dda51f5-2828-4701-ac46-13a2f7196f78&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;This content is information the American ruling elite do NOT want you to have access to.

The genocide of Jews by Europeans has been ingrained into every fabric of schooling and media. Anti-Semitism and Holocaust denial laws exist in some countries to maintain the supremacy of the Holocaust as the quintessential tragedy in the history of mankind. </p><p>Yet in the aftermath of this event, a similar one followed where the roles had been inverted. And despite the inundation of Holocaust education, very few people know of this event. </p><p>It is the genocide of Germans committed by Jews.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a

journalist who had written for publications such as <em>The Atlantic</em> and <em>The New Yorker</em>, had documented the systematic ethnic-cleansing of Germans committed by Jews starting around the year of 1945. He was compelled to pursue research into this topic to not only bring attention to innocent suffering of Germans, but also to tell a tale of &#8220;Jewish redemption,&#8221; a phrase he uses several times in his book <em>An Eye For An Eye</em>. Emotions of sympathy and antipathy run congruent throughout the pages as the author tries to balance the thirst for revenge of the Jews with the paradoxical disdain of genocide and torture.</p><p>Some of the names Sack uses are pseudonyms, while others are real. His narrative primarily follows Lola Potok (now Lola Blatt), a Polish-Jew who had miraculously survived Auschwitz and escaped German captivity. She and other Jews who shared the same fate recruited others in Soviet occupied areas of Poland and Germany. </p><p>They formed The Office of State Security, <strong>a group operated by Jews with the goal of torturing and murdering Germans</strong>. While some founding members intended to only target National Socialist soldiers, their victims included any Germans they could get their hands on, whether they be men, women, children, or the elderly.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

included Blechhamer, Hohensalza, Myslowitz, Potulice, and Schwientochlowitz. Some Germans were coerced into entering these camps, while others were apprehended by OSS soldiers. There are an estimated 60,000 to 80,000 total Germans who had been tortured and murdered in these camps. They were intentionally starved, forced to live in typhus-ridden chambers, and tortured at the amusement of their Jewish captors.</p><blockquote><p>&#8220;What the Germans couldn&#8217;t do in five years at Auschwitz, I&#8217;ve done in five months at Schwientochlowitz.&#8221;</p><p>- Shlomo Morel</p></blockquote><p>Germans were beaten with rods and handles of the officers&#8217; firearms. Blankets were put over them so as to hide welts in fear of investigation of Polish courts. The Jews ripped the finger nails off their German prisoners. They whipped them and poured boiling coffee on their wounds. They knocked their teeth out and called them pigs. They burned cigarettes into their skin.</p><p>One of the more disturbing incidents involved a young German girl:</p><blockquote><p>&#8220;At Auschwitz, the Jews weren&#8217;t raped (the SS men could be hanged for it) but at Gleiwitz one ardent interrogator pulled off a German girl&#8217;s clothes, pulled her onto his lap, and told her, &#8216;Let&#8217;s do it! I&#8217;ve got a Persian lamb coat for you!&#8217; but if Lola knew about it, she just ignored it. In time, the Germans&#8217; screams seemed an attribute of the prison air, but Lola said nothing, and if any inner voice told the Jewish guards, <em>You don&#8217;t know he&#8217;s guilty</em>, then the Germans&#8217; blonde hair, blue eyes, and the Germans&#8217; own German language attested that they were Hitler&#8217;s hatchet men.&#8221;</p><p>- John Sack, <em>An Eye For An Eye</em></p></blockquote><p>Strangely, the Jews operating these camps never used gas chambers to kill or torture Germans. Be that as it may, tens of thousands of Germans were ethnically cleansed as an act of ethnic hatred by Jewish renegades and vigilantes. None of them, to my knowledge, were ever convicted by an international court or domestic authority. In fact, research into this atrocity is heavily censored and considered by critics to be anti-Semitic.</p><p>Sack provides his sources in the appendix, which are comprised of interviews with Office of State Security Officers, their friends and families as eye-witnesses, interviews of German prisoners, Jewish police officers in Poland, and other testimonies from journalists and historians. As expected, there are those who wish to cast doubt on these events and the credibility of the sources provided. </p><p>There is an issue with such objections however, the issue being that these same kind of sources are used as evidence for the Jewish Holocaust. If these sources are used to arrest people for denying the Jewish Holocaust, on what basis are they to be denied for the German Holocaust?</p><div><hr></div><p><strong>This content is information the American ruling elite do NOT want you to have access to.

They disputed the notion that these camps were ran by Jews. Sack attempted to publish his response with <em>The New Republic</em>, but they denied his publication twice. Piper Verlag also ceased publication of the book after receiving immense criticism of its contents as anti-Semitic. Not coincidentally, I would argue, it is difficult to find copies of this book and similar publications used as source material. Much of it remains in Polish, and there has evidently been a wave of censorship barring people from studying this important piece of history.</p><blockquote><p>&#8220;I read this extremely gripping and compelling account of the appalling events which accompanied the end of the war and the expulsion of the Germans from what was to become Western Poland in one go. It was impossible to put down. . . . The topic of Jewish participation in these acts of oppression is controversial, but, in my view, only two questions need to be raised. The first concerns the motivation of the author and here I am convinced that Mr. Sack has tried, as he himself writes, to tell &#8216;something more than the story of Jewish revenge: the story of Jewish redemption.&#8217; The second is whether the story is true and what it is based on. Here, too, I am satisfied that the author is a serious researcher. . . . The book is in fact a major contribution to our understanding. . . . I certainly recommend publication.&#8221;</p><p>- Antony Polonsky</p><p>Professor of East European Jewish History</p><p>Brandeis University</p></blockquote><p>The systematic genocide of Germans committed by Jews is a historical event that must never be forgotten. It reminds us of how bigotry and anti-Germanism can be used as a basis for ethnic-cleansing. It is our responsibility as advocates for human rights to educate those who are unaware of this crime against humanity. </p><p>Silence is violence.

Actions they would condemn in any other context suddenly become acceptable because their side was the one carrying them out.</p><p>If you need more proof of that, look no further than the bizarre public defense people make regarding dropping atomic bombs and incinerating hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians.</p><p>Whether you like Tucker or not, check out this short clip of him discussing the U.S. dropping the atomic bombs&#8230;</p><div class="native-video-embed" data-component-name="VideoPlaceholder" data-attrs="{&quot;mediaUploadId&quot;:&quot;bedd4469-afeb-4cbb-9cb6-e64cda6bb2ec&quot;,&quot;duration&quot;:null}"></div><p>If you find yourself defending dropping nuclear bombs, you are not on the side of Good, you are on the side of Evil.</p><p>But here&#8217;s the thing: for the most part, I don&#8217;t believe the majority of people realize their defending an evil deed. Why?</p><p>Because we&#8217;ve all been propagandized into believing that we had to murder <em>two hundred thousand</em> <strong>civilians</strong> in order to &#8220;save lives.&#8221; </p><p>You guys, imagine a serial killer using this as a defense. It is completely psychopathic. </p><p>&#8220;I murdered <em>these</em> people in order to save <em>those</em> people.&#8221; <br>Absolutely insane. </p><p>Not to mention, if you begin diving deeper into what was actually going down at this time, this &#8220;saving lives&#8221; defense completely crumbles.</p><p>Here are the facts:</p><ul><li><p>Japan had been on the defense for two years.</p></li><li><p>Germany had already surrendered.</p></li><li><p>Japan was already negotiating their surrender.</p></li></ul><p>Even the Commanding General of the U.S. Army, Henry Arnold, admitted that &#8220;it always appeared to us that atomic bomb or no atomic bomb, the Japanese were already on the verge of collapse.&#8221;</p><p>Dwight D.

Highjump.</strong></figcaption></figure></div><p>Right after WWII, the U.S. Navy sent one of the largest military expeditions ever assembled to Antarctica. We&#8217;re talking:</p><ul><li><p>4,700 military personnel</p></li><li><p>13 ships, including an aircraft carrier</p></li><li><p>30+ aircraft</p></li><li><p>submarines</p></li><li><p>full logistical support</p></li></ul><p>That&#8217;s an enormous amount of manpower and equipment to send to a place like Antarctica. </p><p>The official explanation was &#8220;cold weather training and mapping.&#8221; But if you look into it just a little further, there was a theory going around during this time that there was an entrance to the middle of the Earth in the South Pole. Other theories claimed there were regions beyond the ice that the public knew nothing about. Some people believed ancient civilizations had once existed there (or still did). Others became convinced Nazi Germany had discovered something in Antarctica before the war and was trying to establish a foothold on the continent.</p><p>I&#8217;m not telling you any of that is true. What I am saying is that those theories already existed when the U.S. military suddenly launched one of the largest Antarctic expeditions in history.</p><p>The mission was supposed to last 6&#8211;8 months, yet it abruptly ended after about 8 weeks. Why?</p><p>Well, some say extreme weather. But isn&#8217;t that to be expected on a POLAR mission? Plus, Byrd wasn't a rookie explorer who accidentally wandered into Antarctica without knowing what he was getting into. He had already spent years there. The Navy knew the conditions. Everybody involved understood they were heading into one of the harshest environments on Earth.</p><p>Then there&#8217;s the famous Chilean newspaper interview where Byrd supposedly warned that the U.S. should prepare for the possibility of enemy aircraft capable of flying from pole to pole at tremendous speeds.</p><p>That statement alone is extremely bizarre considering this was in 1947. <br>What aircraft could do that back then?</p><p>And once people start digging into Antarctica, they usually stumble onto the same collection of stories.</p><ul><li><p>Nazi Germany&#8217;s interest in New Swabia.</p></li><li><p>Claims that high-ranking Nazis escaped south as the Third Reich collapsed.</p></li><li><p>Stories about secret facilities hidden beneath the ice.</p></li><li><p>Legends about regions of Antarctica that don&#8217;t appear on ordinary maps.</p></li></ul><p>Maybe they&#8217;re all nonsense. Maybe they&#8217;re not. </p><p>But the scale of Operation Highjump raises serious questions. Why send aircraft carriers, destroyers. submarines and thousands of troops just to&#8230;map ice? And why end the mission months early?</p><div><hr></div><p><strong>This content is information the American ruling elite do NOT want you to have access to.

Governments classify information for decades, intelligence agencies lie when it suits them, and history has a funny habit of revealing that yesterday&#8217;s &#8220;crazy conspiracy theory&#8221; becomes tomorrow&#8217;s declassified document.</p><p>Does that mean every story about Antarctica is true?</p><p>Probably not.<br>But it also doesn&#8217;t mean every story is false either.</p><p>So with that in mind, let me tell you what the legend says Admiral Byrd discovered, and you can decide for yourself where the line between fact, fiction, and something in between might be...</p><p>Admiral Byrd&#8217;s aircraft crossed beyond the Antarctic ice region into a vast interior land. He described seeing ice-free valleys, rolling hills, patches of green, flowing rivers, and vegetation inconsistent with polar conditions. He observed large animals resembling mammoths moving across the landscape and noted a climate that appeared warmer and calmer than the Antarctic coast. He also wrote of distant structures or a civilization deeper inland. </p><p>Shortly after he wrapped up his Antarctic expeditions, he died in his sleep from a &#8220;heart attack,&#8221; at the age of 68.</p><p>This seems to be the common way to go for anybody that has things to say that rub some people the wrong way. I&#8217;m sure it&#8217;s just a coincidence that it&#8217;s easily disguised in an autopsy. </p><p>What almost nobody talks about is Byrd's son.</p><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Evelyn_Byrd_III">Richard Byrd</a> was a lieutenant commander in the Naval Reserve.

Maybe it&#8217;s just an incredible coincidence that a politically connected billionaire tied to the incoming president ended up receiving special investor status while negotiating for a military island after spending time with powerful political figures aboard one of the world&#8217;s most exclusive yachts.</p><p>Maybe.

The unit was tasked with using social media, intelligence, and political tools to destabilize both countries and advance regime change efforts in Iran.</p><p>The former Mossad official, identified only as "O," said the unit built a network of fake social media accounts described as a "poison machine," combining opinion polling, sentiment monitoring, open-source intelligence, AI-generated influencers, and coordinated online campaigns to shape public opinion and deepen social divisions. He said overthrowing the Iranian government became one of the Mossad's central objectives.</p><p>The report also says the Mossad leaked photos of intelligence agents operating inside Iran during Israeli attacks to undermine confidence in Iranian security institutions and erode what &#8220;O&#8221; called the government's "mechanism of fear." <strong>It further claims the agency cultivated networks of influencers, including AI-generated personas, and channels capable of injecting narratives directly into public discourse</strong>.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a

supervised and censored. However, in Lebanon, it is a more enjoyable event, because the Lebanese media is much more accessible than the Iranian media. Because of Lebanon's characteristics, every community and group has representation in the media, and you know how to insert almost any message you want into the media," he said.</p><div><hr></div><p><strong>This content is information the American ruling elite do NOT want you to have access to.

Not because any of them even touched anything. But because they complained about their utility bills going up, organized opposition campaigns, and posted criticism of AI infrastructure online. That&#8217;s literally it. That&#8217;s their entire case.</p><p>And for that, law enforcement is now associating them with domestic violent extremists.</p><p>So, complaining about your rising electricity bill or pollution to your water is now an indicator of terrorism.</p><p>The actual language from the report is almost too brazen to believe: &#8220;Indicators of an increased threat in the short term may consist of more disruptive First Amendment activity in opposition to AI data centers, small acts of vandalism, online calls for action to boycott and or protest local AI data centers in the Philadelphia area, and extensive criticism of higher utility bills resulting from AI data centers.&#8221; </p><p>&#8230;first Amendment activity. <br>They literally listed constitutionally protected speech as a threat indicator. Boycotts, protests and online criticism are now data points in a terrorism risk profile.</p><p>The real issue with these &#8220;fusion centers,&#8221; which grew rapidly nationwide after 9/11, is that they&#8217;ve long been criticized for doing little to thwart actual terror plots, while doing far too much to subject lawful protesters to suspicion and surveillance. These hubs have essentially turned into an unchecked domestic dragnet, operating in a legal gray zone that dodges public oversight while tracking everyday citizens through aggressive data mining. To make matters worse, a landmark Senate investigation <a href="https://info.publicintelligence.net/HSGAC-FusionCenters.pdf">revealed</a> that these centers are notorious for wasting millions in tax dollars on useless intelligence, all while creating massive digital warehouses that remain highly vulnerable to devastating data leaks.</p><p>And now they&#8217;ve found their newest target: the 70% of Americans who don&#8217;t want a data center in their backyard.</p><p>Because here&#8217;s what&#8217;s really going on underneath all of this. Seven in ten Americans (SEVEN in TEN!!!) told <a href="https://news.gallup.com/poll/709772/americans-oppose-data-centers-area.aspx">Gallup</a> this month that they oppose the construction of AI data centers. Their concerns are pretty legitimate: environmental pollution, skyrocketing utility prices driven by the extraordinary water and electricity demands these facilities require, and the fact that they are <strong>used for mass surveillance</strong>.</p><p>This is not extremism or domestic terrorism. This is a majority of the country expressing a completely rational opinion about infrastructure being built in their communities. And the government&#8217;s response has been to point an intelligence apparatus at them.</p><div><hr></div><p><strong>This content is information the American ruling elite do NOT want you to have access to</strong><em>. </em><strong>If you appreciate work like this, and want more of it, please consider becoming a paid subscriber</strong><em>.</em></p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.booksbehindborders.org/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption"><em>I&#8217;m running a special for $40/year or $5/month.</em></p></div><form class="subscription-widget-subscribe"><input type="email" class="email-input" name="email" placeholder="Type your email&#8230;" tabindex="-1"><input type="submit" class="button primary" value="Subscribe"><div class="fake-input-wrapper"><div class="fake-input"></div><div class="fake-button"></div></div></form></div></div><div><hr></div><p>And it&#8217;s not just fusion centers.

They produced a report warning law enforcement about threats and attacks &#8220;likely linked to grievances concerning data centers.&#8221; The word &#8220;likely&#8221; is doing an extraordinary amount of heavy lifting there, because the report openly admits there is no actual evidence of any threat to Congress. None.

But seriously. Every single week there's another story about a child being abused, groomed, trafficked, or assaulted. And every single week it feels like the people responsible somehow slip through the cracks. Charges disappear. Plea deals happen. Cases get buried. And the public moves on.</p><p>Remember the show <em>To Catch a Predator</em>? Ever wonder why it was abruptly cancelled?</p><p>It was because they kept catching law enforcement officers, teachers, preachers, local officials, and other people whose entire job was supposedly to protect children.</p><p>The final straw was the case of Louis Conradt, an assistant district attorney in Texas who was communicating with who he believed was a 13-year-old boy. When he didn't show up at the sting house, the camera crew decided to go to him. Police arrived at his home. But before he could be arrested, he shot himself, taking his own life.</p><p>You really just cannot even make this up.</p><p>The show was canceled in 2008. In 2022, Chris Hansen brought it back under a different name: <em>Takedown with Chris Hansen</em>.</p><p>Which brings me to the reason I&#8217;m writing this.</p><div><hr></div><p><strong>This content is information the American ruling elite do NOT want you to have access to</strong><em>. </em><strong>If you appreciate work like this, and want more of it, please consider becoming a paid subscriber</strong><em>.</em></p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.booksbehindborders.org/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption"><em>I&#8217;m running a special for $40/year or $5/month.</em></p></div><form class="subscription-widget-subscribe"><input type="email" class="email-input" name="email" placeholder="Type your email&#8230;" tabindex="-1"><input type="submit" class="button primary" value="Subscribe"><div class="fake-input-wrapper"><div class="fake-input"></div><div class="fake-button"></div></div></form></div></div><div><hr></div><p>On a recent episode, Hansen&#8217;s team caught another member of law enforcement allegedly grooming and soliciting a child. And if you&#8217;ve followed these stories long enough, you can probably guess where this is headed.</p><p>Prosecutors have <a href="https://www.wmar2news.com/news/region/harford-county/d-c-police-supervisor-busted-in-harford-county-for-allegedly-soliciting-child-sex-on-reddit">dropped</a> their case against a D.C. police officer who was facing charges that included child pornography and soliciting a minor in Maryland.</p><p>His name is Matthew Mahl.</p><p>Mahl has been with the Metropolitan Police Department for 23 years. He supervised the Special Events Section and helped provide security for high-profile events, including presidential escorts and visits from foreign leaders such as Benjamin Netanyahu.</p><p>According to charging documents, the investigation started when a detective conducting an undercover operation targeting child predators came across a Reddit post in a forum called "GayYoungOldDating."</p><p>The account, allegedly belonging to Mahl, posted that he was an &#8220;older bear/chub guy in Maryland looking for younger to get to know.&#8221;</p><p>The detective responded while posing as a 15-year-old boy named Nate.</p><p>Investigators say the two exchanged messages and photographs, including a photograph of Mahl in uniform. As the conversations continued, Mahl allegedly began discussing sex with someone he believed was 15 years old. Investigators also allege that he later sent nude photographs of himself from his office while at work.</p><p>The charging documents further allege that Mahl was fully aware of the age of the person he was speaking with. At one point he reportedly said he wished it was February 11, 2027, the day &#8220;Nate&#8221; would turn 16. In another exchange, investigators say Mahl admitted that he had &#8220;it all to lose.&#8221;</p><p>According to investigators, the conversations continued anyway.</p><p>On April 3, Mahl allegedly asked the undercover detective for nude photographs, resulting in child sexual solicitation charges.</p><p>Now the charges are gone.</p><p>And maybe prosecutors have a perfectly reasonable explanation for dropping the case. If they do, they haven&#8217;t shared it with the public.</p><p>What the public can see is that a 23-year veteran police officer was accused of soliciting what he believed was a child, allegedly acknowledged the age of the child, allegedly acknowledged the risks to his own career, and prosecutors have decided not to move forward with the case.</p><p>Make of that whatever you want.</p><div><hr></div><p>If you&#8217;re tired of being told everything is fine while it clearly isn&#8217;t, you&#8217;re exactly why this publication exists.</p><p><strong>My work is 100% reader-supported</strong>. <strong>That means no advertisers, no political handlers, and no incentive to soften the truth</strong>.</p><p>I started this because too many people feel like they&#8217;re losing their minds trying to make sense of what&#8217;s happening, myself included. <strong>I wanted to build a space of like-minded people to make this journey feel less lonely for all of us</strong>.</p><p>To allow me to continue posting content just like this, please consider becoming a paid subscriber. <strong>I&#8217;m running a special for $40/year or $5/month</strong>.</p><p>If that price feels impossible to you, I understand. <strong>Share this article with everyone you know, it costs nothing but it matters more than you could possibly know</strong>.</p><p><strong>This content is information the American ruling elite do NOT want you to have access to</strong><em>. </em><strong>If you appreciate work like this, and want more of it, please consider becoming a paid subscriber</strong><em>.</em></p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.booksbehindborders.org/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption"><em>I&#8217;m running a special for $40/year or $5/month.</em></p></div><form class="subscription-widget-subscribe"><input type="email" class="email-input" name="email" placeholder="Type your email&#8230;" tabindex="-1"><input type="submit" class="button primary" value="Subscribe"><div class="fake-input-wrapper"><div class="fake-input"></div><div class="fake-button"></div></div></form></div></div><div class="captioned-button-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.booksbehindborders.org/p/dc-police-officer-charged-sex-minor-maryland-case-dropped?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Share&quot;}" data-component-name="CaptionedButtonToDOM"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Thanks for reading Maddie (Books Behind Borders)! <strong>This post is public so feel free to share it</strong>.</p></div><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.booksbehindborders.org/p/dc-police-officer-charged-sex-minor-maryland-case-dropped?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Share&quot;}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://www.booksbehindborders.org/p/dc-police-officer-charged-sex-minor-maryland-case-dropped?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share"><span>Share</span></a></p></div>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Insider View Into How Epstein Trafficked Young Girls Into The Country]]></title><description><![CDATA[How was a plane that was already flagged able to bypass customs?]]></description><link>https://www.booksbehindborders.org/p/epstein-pilot-trafficking-young-girls</link><guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.booksbehindborders.org/p/epstein-pilot-trafficking-young-girls</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Books Behind Borders]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 May 2026 17:06:29 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/7937dbb3-1563-4739-ae32-3cfe1ea939ae_1672x941.png" length="0" type="image/jpeg"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>This content is information the American ruling elite do NOT want you to have access to.

responsible for coordinating the movement of Epstein&#8217;s aircraft. Pilots communicate with air traffic control. They coordinate arrivals and departures. They work with airport personnel and customs authorities during international travel. In a situation like this, the pilot sits at the center of the communication chain.</p><p>The notes suggest multiple agencies were aware of the flight. Yet the plane allegedly entered the country without passing through customs.</p><p>That raises an obvious question: if federal officials were making calls, alerting agencies, and preparing for an inspection, who was coordinating the aircraft&#8217;s arrival on the other end?</p><p>Planes do not simply bypass customs by accident. International arrivals involve procedures, communications, notifications, and coordination between multiple parties. According to these notes, federal officials appear to have been trying to position themselves for an inspection. Yet somehow the aircraft avoided the very process they were preparing to enforce.</p><p>A remarkable breakdown would have had to occur for this to take place.</p><p>Air traffic officials would have needed to lose track of the effort. Customs officers would have needed to miss the inspection. Agencies that were reportedly notified would have needed to fail to act. And the aircraft would have needed to arrive and depart without triggering the normal enforcement procedures that apply to international flights.</p><p>That is what makes this document so significant.</p><p>They describe more than simple preferential treatment. The notes suggest that federal officials were actively attempting to coordinate an inspection and that, despite those efforts, Epstein&#8217;s aircraft somehow avoided the customs process altogether.</p><p>And none of that would have been possible had Epstein&#8217;s pilot not notified all these agencies to let them know Epstein&#8217;s plane would be passing through and it needed to go without scrutiny or inspection.</p><p>The biggest mystery is not whether authorities knew the plane was coming.</p><p>The mystery is how a flight that had already attracted the attention of TSA officials, air traffic personnel, customs officials, and CBP could still arrive, avoid inspection, and continue on its way.</p><p>This single document seems to give us some insight as to how Epstein was able to traffic young girls around the world.</p><div><hr></div><p>If you&#8217;re tired of being told everything is fine while it clearly isn&#8217;t, you&#8217;re exactly why this publication exists.</p><p><strong>My work is 100% reader-supported</strong>. <strong>That means no advertisers, no political handlers, and no incentive to soften the truth</strong>.</p><p>I started this because too many people feel like they&#8217;re losing their minds trying to make sense of what&#8217;s happening, myself included. <strong>I wanted to build a space of like-minded people to make this journey feel less lonely for all of us</strong>.</p><p>To allow me to continue posting content just like this, please consider becoming a paid subscriber. <strong>I&#8217;m running a special for $40/year or $5/month</strong>.</p><p>If that price feels impossible to you, I understand. <strong>Share this article with everyone you know, it costs nothing but it matters more than you could possibly know</strong>.</p><p><strong>This content is information the American ruling elite do NOT want you to have access to</strong><em>. </em><strong>If you appreciate work like this, and want more of it, please consider becoming a paid subscriber</strong><em>.</em><br></p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.booksbehindborders.org/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption"><em>I&#8217;m running a special for $40/year or $5/month.</em></p></div><form class="subscription-widget-subscribe"><input type="email" class="email-input" name="email" placeholder="Type your email&#8230;" tabindex="-1"><input type="submit" class="button primary" value="Subscribe"><div class="fake-input-wrapper"><div class="fake-input"></div><div class="fake-button"></div></div></form></div></div><div class="captioned-button-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.booksbehindborders.org/p/epstein-pilot-trafficking-young-girls?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Share&quot;}" data-component-name="CaptionedButtonToDOM"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Thanks for reading Maddie (Books Behind Borders)!<strong> This post is public so feel free to share it</strong>.</p></div><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.booksbehindborders.org/p/epstein-pilot-trafficking-young-girls?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Share&quot;}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://www.booksbehindborders.org/p/epstein-pilot-trafficking-young-girls?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share"><span>Share</span></a></p></div><p></p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[BREAKING: Systematic Rape, Starvation And Physical Torture Of 3-Year-Olds In Paris Preschools]]></title><description><![CDATA[This is the same country where Jean-Luc Brunel, Epstein&#8217;s right hand man in Europe, built his operation.]]></description><link>https://www.booksbehindborders.org/p/massive-child-abuse-scandal-france</link><guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.booksbehindborders.org/p/massive-child-abuse-scandal-france</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Books Behind Borders]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 28 May 2026 16:44:25 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/6fa1e611-5e86-4f49-8dea-42da32068d82_1729x910.png" length="0" type="image/jpeg"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>This content is information the American ruling elite do NOT want you to have access to.

href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/may/25/massive-child-abuse-scandal-in-france-as-school-staff-investigated-for-violence-and-sexual-assault">scandal</a>. Police are currently investigating over 100 allegations of extreme violence and sexual assault targeting children as young as three years old. The massive investigation covers 84 preschools, 20 primary schools, and 10 daycare centers in Paris alone.</p><p>The abuse was carried out by school &#8220;monitors,&#8221; who are the adults hired to watch children during lunch, nap time, and after-school care, sometimes spending more time with children than their own teachers. </p><p>In Paris, these school &#8220;monitors&#8221; are a daily presence for children aged 3 to 11. These people are usually recruited by city hall or local authorities, often without training or professional diplomas and increasingly on a casual basis, with many paid by the hour.</p><p>Which, for a child sexual predator, sounds like a pretty easy way to get close to children.</p><p>Terrified parents reported that helpless toddlers were routinely screamed at, pushed, and had their hair violently pulled. </p><p>Some children were denied food altogether, while others were forced to eat until they vomited. </p><p>Multiple children were sexually assaulted and raped.</p><p>Officials have admitted they ignored warnings for years and chose to hide behind a &#8220;code of silence,&#8221; which is just a more official way of saying they knew and did nothing.</p><p>This is also the country where Jean-Luc Brunel, Epstein&#8217;s right hand man in Europe, <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-60443518">built his operation</a>. Brunel co-founded the Paris-based Karin Models in 1977 and later MC2 Model Management in the US, which was financed by Jeffrey Epstein.</p><p>Brunel was arrested in 2022 and held in a Paris prison on charges of raping and trafficking minors. He never saw trial. He was found dead in his cell in early 2022, which is the kind of thing that keeps happening to people who knew too much about Jeffrey Epstein.</p><p>If you've been paying attention, none of this is surprising. Epstein didn't operate alone, Brunel didn't operate alone, and the monitors in these Paris schools didn't operate alone either. There is a reason predators seek out positions of access and authority and there is a reason institutions protect them when they do. Regular people lose their jobs and their freedom over far less.

She was asked by Epstein to do sexual acts, but she refused. She was later asked to massage the penis of Epstein&#8217;s guest, Trump, with her hands.&#8221;</p><p>She was told this &#8220;was what she had to do in order to get a job and she complied.&#8221;</p><p>During the second party, she was asked to &#8220;perform oral sex on Trump&#8221; and she complied.</p><p>During the third party, she was made to &#8220;perform oral sex on Trump with another young girl.&#8221;</p><p>During the fourth visit, she was &#8220;raped by Trump,&#8221; where he vaginally penetrated her with his penis. </p><p>Epstein was &#8220;angry that Trump was the one to take her virginity and then went on to rape her&#8221; by vaginal and anal penetration with his penis.</p><p>The FBI Complaint says that she &#8220;struggled and was struck by both men during the assault, and was then threatened with violence by both men to not make any report of what happened.</p><p>The Complaint alleges that she was told: &#8220;We&#8217;ll make you disappear like [name redacted].&#8221;</p><p>Most of these &#8220;special parties&#8221; took place at the Wexner Mansion in New York City. Jeffrey Epstein moved into this mansion in 1995, and the victim alleged her assaults occurred in 1997.</p><div><hr></div><p><strong>This content is information the American ruling elite do NOT want you to have access to.

fatalities and at least 430 documented child deaths since the conflict reignited on March 2nd, 2026.</p><p>While Israel maintains that its operations are strictly designed to establish a demilitarized buffer zone and to neutralize Hezbollah, international observers and Lebanese authorities have accused the IDF of carrying out attacks that disproportionately harm civilians and devastate non-combatant life. </p><p>Anybody familiar with the IDF is keenly aware that it&#8217;s a death cult who has little regard for civilian life. In fact, it&#8217;s almost as if their goal is to maximize the bloodshed anywhere they are, particularly of children.<br><br>Despite a series of fragile, US-mediated ceasefire frameworks introduced in mid-April that extended into mid-May, regular aerial and artillery bombardments have persisted. <strong>In one of the deadliest recent breaches on May 13th 2026, Israeli airstrikes across southern Lebanon killed 22 people, including eight children</strong>. </p><p><strong>On May 19th 2026, an airstrike killed another 10 people, including three children and three women</strong>.</p><p>Analysts and responders on the ground report that Israel is using a scorched-earth strategy to reshape life along the border. This includes systematic drone strikes and artillery fire targeted deep beyond the immediate frontline, striking municipal workers, refugees on motorbikes, and healthcare providers.</p><p>To nobody&#8217;s surprise, they have also been targeting rescue workers.

The records are the latest to shed light on how expansive Flock&#8217;s surveillance network has become, and highlights that it includes cameras that are operated by both police and private businesses.</p><p><strong>Two of the biggest home improvement chains in America are helping expand a massive AI surveillance network without most customers even realizing it</strong>. The concern isn&#8217;t just that stores are collecting people&#8217;s movements and handing that data to police, it&#8217;s that once the information enters these systems, it can easily be abused, whether by corrupt officers, overreaching federal agencies, hackers, or anyone else who gains access to it.</p><p>Flock cameras are stationed all over the country, on roads, intersections, and parking lot entrances. They constantly scan and log license plates, creating searchable records of where people drive, when they arrive somewhere, and how often they go there. Because the network is nationwide, police can often track people&#8217;s movements across multiple states without ever getting a warrant.</p><p>And once the data enters that system, control over it starts getting very blurry.</p><p>Government agencies can choose to share their Flock data statewide or nationwide, meaning departments all over the country can tap into it. In at least four states, federal immigration agents were reportedly able to access that data through local police departments, completely bypassing Home Depot&#8217;s supposed restrictions. </p><p>More than 4,000 immigration-related searches were found.</p><p>And it doesn&#8217;t stop at license plates.</p><p>Home Depot&#8217;s own privacy policy says the company collects, word for word, &#8220;biometric information, including facial recognition.&#8221;</p><p>The same policy says they may also collect in-store video and audio recordings, your WiFi activity inside the store, and your precise location data.</p><p>Home Depot was<a href="https://www.law360.com/articles/2472979/home-depot-accused-of-helping-police-spy-on-customers"> named in a class action lawsuit</a> in California alleging that the department chain was running a covert surveillance system and then feeding that information to a database accessed by law enforcement.</p><div><hr></div><p><strong>This content is information the American ruling elite do NOT want you to have access to.

Corporations and companies like Palantir and Oracle collect enormous amounts of data under the banner of &#8220;safety,&#8221; &#8220;convenience,&#8221; or &#8220;loss prevention,&#8221; then law enforcement gains access to it through partnerships, data-sharing agreements, or third-party systems like Flock.</p><p>In other words, companies build the surveillance infrastructure, and the government taps into it afterward.</p><p>You don&#8217;t have to be suspected of a crime to end up inside the database.

Because once the infrastructure exists to track everyone, it never stays limited to &#8220;criminals&#8221; for long. </p><p>Not to mention, the definition of a &#8220;criminal&#8221; is constantly changing. The same institutions deciding who qualifies as a criminal are the ones operating these surveillance systems in the first place.</p><p>Governments have a very long history of turning surveillance tools against journalists, activists, protesters, dissidents, whistleblowers, anti-war movements, and anybody else who becomes inconvenient to people in power. </p><p>The FBI tracked civil rights leaders.<br>Anti-war activists were surveilled.<br>Journalists were monitored.<br>Entire protest movements were infiltrated and mapped out.</p><p>And every single time, the justification sounded reasonable in the beginning. &#8220;Public safety.&#8221; &#8220;Crime prevention.&#8221; &#8220;National security.&#8221;</p><p>That&#8217;s how this stuff is always introduced to the public. They market it around the worst people imaginable so the average person lowers their guard. But once the system is built, once the cameras are everywhere, once the databases are connected, the definition of who gets monitored can change very quickly.</p><p>A government that can track the movements of millions of innocent people in real time is not a small thing. That is an extraordinary amount of power to hand over to institutions that already have a documented history of lying, abusing surveillance powers, and targeting political dissent.</p><p>And even if you never attend a protest, never challenge the government, never become a dissident, it&#8217;s still a massive violation of privacy for the average person. Most people do not want the government building a searchable timeline of where they drive, where they shop, where they eat, who they visit, what neighborhoods they spend time in, what doctors they go to, what gyms they go to, or where they sleep at night.</p><p>That&#8217;s not normal. That&#8217;s dystopian.</p><p>The fact that millions of innocent people are being logged, mapped, and tracked by default,<strong> without consent and without a warrant</strong>, should bother people regardless of politics. <strong>Because privacy is not something you&#8217;re only supposed to care about if you&#8217;re guilty of something. Privacy is a basic part of being a free human being.</strong></p><p>The AI surveillance state will make China&#8217;s look like child&#8217;s play when the technocrats are finished installing it.  </p><div><hr></div><p>If you&#8217;re tired of being told everything is fine while it clearly isn&#8217;t, you&#8217;re exactly why this publication exists.</p><p><strong>My work is 100% reader-supported</strong>. <strong>That means no advertisers, no political handlers, and no incentive to soften the truth</strong>.</p><p>I started this because too many people feel like they&#8217;re losing their minds trying to make sense of what&#8217;s happening, myself included. <strong>I wanted to build a space of like-minded people to make this journey feel less lonely for all of us</strong>.</p><p>To allow me to continue posting content just like this, please consider becoming a paid subscriber. <strong>I&#8217;m running a special for $40/year or $5/month</strong>.</p><p>If that price feels impossible to you, I understand. <strong>Share this article with everyone you know, it costs nothing but it matters more than you could possibly know</strong>.</p><p><em>This content is information the American ruling elite do NOT want you to have access to. </em><strong>If you appreciate work like this, and want more of it, please consider becoming a paid subscriber</strong><em>.</em></p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.booksbehindborders.org/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption"><em>I&#8217;m running a special for $40/year or $5/month.</em></p></div><form class="subscription-widget-subscribe"><input type="email" class="email-input" name="email" placeholder="Type your email&#8230;" tabindex="-1"><input type="submit" class="button primary" value="Subscribe"><div class="fake-input-wrapper"><div class="fake-input"></div><div class="fake-button"></div></div></form></div></div><div class="captioned-button-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.booksbehindborders.org/p/oracle-larry-ellison-dystopain-ai-mass-surveillance?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Share&quot;}" data-component-name="CaptionedButtonToDOM"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Thanks for reading Maddie (Books Behind Borders)! <strong>This post is public so feel free to share it.</strong></p></div><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.booksbehindborders.org/p/oracle-larry-ellison-dystopain-ai-mass-surveillance?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Share&quot;}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://www.booksbehindborders.org/p/oracle-larry-ellison-dystopain-ai-mass-surveillance?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share"><span>Share</span></a></p></div>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[U.S. News Won't Show You This, So I Will.

&#8220;sophisticated&#8221;</figcaption></figure></div><p>First, Konkel said he had no knowledge of the cocaine in the truck. He later, however, admitted to investigators that he agreed to smuggle the drugs in for $5,276.</p><h3>The Harsh Reality</h3><p>The Drug Trade is a large part of the global economy. The UN Office on Drugs and Crime <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/global/2009/dec/13/drug-money-banks-saved-un-cfief-claims?utm_source=chatgpt.com">reported</a> in 2009 that it was <strong>money from organized crime and drug trafficking that kept the US banking system afloat during the financial collapse of 2008-2009</strong>. </p><p>Between 2% and 5% of the world&#8217;s Gross Domestic Product comes from <a href="https://financialtransparency.org/reports/unodc-illicit-money-how-much-is-out-there">illicit activities</a>. The US and British jurisdictions are among the five most involved in <a href="https://www.icij.org/investigations/pandora-papers/us-lands-top-spot-as-worlds-biggest-enabler-of-financial-secrecy-in-new-index/">money laundering</a>, along with Switzerland. The FBI itself <a href="https://www.fbi.gov/news/speeches-and-testimony/combating-money-laundering-and-other-forms-of-illicit-finance">estimates</a> that more than $300 billion in illicit funds are processed in the US jurisdiction every year. A similar amount of illicit funds is processed in the European financial system.</p><p>This latest slip-up in the Skims department shines a light on how things actually work in the real world. Sure, they claim Skims had no idea the cocaine was there. Is that true? Possibility.</p><p>What&#8217;s more likely? That the Kardashian clan is a part of the &#8220;global elite&#8221; who own nearly every cop, district attorney, judge, congressman and president in the entire world. Surely their PR agent can get anybody to claim just about anything.</p><p>The Drug Trade is among the most profitable in the world and the CIA, DEA, Mossad and all the other &#8220;intelligence&#8221; agencies are the biggest drug traffickers in the world, and they use &#8220;legitimate&#8221; companies to move the drugs, and that company gets a cut of the profits. </p><p>Is this the ONLY way the drugs are trafficked? Of course not.<br>Are the Kardashians involved directly? Highly unlikely. <br>Do they know this kind of activity is taking place and are they being compensated in some way? Probably. </p><div><hr></div><p>If you&#8217;re tired of being told everything is fine while it clearly isn&#8217;t, you&#8217;re exactly why this publication exists.</p><p><strong>My work is 100% reader-supported</strong>. <strong>That means no advertisers, no political handlers, and no incentive to soften the truth</strong>.</p><p>I started this because too many people feel like they&#8217;re losing their minds trying to make sense of what&#8217;s happening, myself included. <strong>I wanted to build a space of like-minded people to make this journey feel less lonely for all of us</strong>.</p><p>To allow me to continue posting content just like this, please consider becoming a paid subscriber. <strong>I&#8217;m running a special for $40/year or $5/month</strong>.</p><p>If that price feels impossible to you, I understand. <strong>Share this article with everyone you know, it costs nothing but it matters more than you could possibly know</strong>.</p><p>This content is information the American ruling elite do NOT want you to have access to<em>. </em><strong>If you appreciate work like this, and want more of it, please consider becoming a paid subscriber</strong><em>.</em></p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.booksbehindborders.org/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption"><em>I&#8217;m running a special for $40/year or $5/month.</em></p></div><form class="subscription-widget-subscribe"><input type="email" class="email-input" name="email" placeholder="Type your email&#8230;" tabindex="-1"><input type="submit" class="button primary" value="Subscribe"><div class="fake-input-wrapper"><div class="fake-input"></div><div class="fake-button"></div></div></form></div></div><div class="captioned-button-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.booksbehindborders.org/p/93-million-worth-of-cocaine-in-kim?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Share&quot;}" data-component-name="CaptionedButtonToDOM"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Thanks for reading Maddie (Books Behind Borders)! <strong>This post is public so feel free to share it</strong>.</p></div><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.booksbehindborders.org/p/93-million-worth-of-cocaine-in-kim?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Share&quot;}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://www.booksbehindborders.org/p/93-million-worth-of-cocaine-in-kim?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share"><span>Share</span></a></p></div>]]></content:encoded></item></channel></rss>
