Epstein Files Suggest Acts That May Amount to Crimes Against Humanity, Say UN Experts

/3 Comments/in , , /by

Millions of files related to the convicted child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein suggest the existence of a “global criminal enterprise” that carried out acts meeting the legal threshold of crimes against humanity, a panel of independent experts appointed by the United Nations human rights council has said.

The experts said crimes outlined in documents released by the US justice department were committed against a backdrop of supremacist beliefs, racism, corruption and extreme misogyny. The crimes, they said, showed a commodification and dehumanisation of women and girls.

“So grave is the scale, nature, systematic character, and transnational reach of these atrocities against women and girls, that a number of them may reasonably meet the legal threshold of crimes against humanity,” they said in a statement.

The experts said the allegations contained in the files require an independent, thorough and impartial investigation, and said inquiries should also be launched into how it was possible for such crimes to be committed for so long. . .

A law, approved by Congress with broad bipartisan support in November, requires all Epstein-related files to be made public. (Read more from “Epstein Files Suggest Acts That May Amount to Crimes Against Humanity, Say UN Experts” HERE)

‘You’re Going to See More Defections’: Thomas Massie’s Ominous Prediction for the GOP

/0 Comments/in , /by

Rep. Thomas Massie has gone toe-to-toe with the president of the United States, the speaker of the House and the attorney general in just the last few months. And he says there’s more to come. . .

Massie was the sole Republican to spar with Attorney General Pam Bondi at a combative congressional hearing last week, but he said for now, he won’t pursue efforts to hold her in contempt for not fully releasing the files.

“I don’t think it’s necessary to proverbially pull a knife right now in this argument because we’re winning it,” he said. “When the attorney general is reduced to a stack of pre-prepared insults to deliver, and when the DOJ is responding to my every tweet with additional unredactions, I don’t think I’m going to change what I’m doing just yet.”

Massie also joined several other Republicans recently to buck President Donald Trump and Speaker Mike Johnson on legislation that would block some Trump tariffs. And he had an ominous prediction for GOP leadership in the coming months.

“On any given day, I would just need one or two of my own co-conspirators to get something done,” he said. “I think you’re going to see more defections.” (Read more from “‘You’re Going to See More Defections’: Thomas Massie’s Ominous Prediction for the GOP” HERE)

Weird: Texas GOP Politician Plans Christian Retreat at Epstein’s Zorro Ranch

/0 Comments/in , /by

The new owners of the late Jeffrey Epstein’s sprawling Santa Fe County ranch revealed their plans for the property Monday — the same day they announced they would cooperate with any law enforcement investigations into potential crimes committed there.

The Texas family who owns Epstein’s Zorro Ranch plans to convert it into a Christian retreat, owner Don Huffines posted on social media Monday night.

“What the enemy once meant for evil, God can redeem for good,” Huffines wrote on X.

That’s why he and his family renamed the property San Rafael Ranch, he wrote, “after the saint associated with physical and spiritual healing, and began plans immediately to remake it as a Christian retreat, reclaiming it for Jesus.”

Huffines, a Texas businessman and GOP candidate for Texas comptroller, which oversees statewide financial matters, purchased the ranch with his family in 2023 under an anonymous LLC. (Read more from “Weird: Texas GOP Politician Plans Christian Retreat at Epstein’s Zorro Ranch” HERE)

Jeffrey Epstein Masterminded ‘Girls Weekends’ in Ritzy Hamptons With Weird Overnight Stays: Emails

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Hamptons are front and center in a trove of newly released Jeffrey Epstein files — with emails claiming the convicted pedo routinely paraded “the girls” to the vacation destination and organized overnight stays at his elite pals’ homes.

One email exchange praised the disgraced financier and human trafficker for organizing “girls weekends” in the ritzy enclave, with one person claiming a local nightclub maven even wanted Epstein to help organize weekly parties exclusively for “beautiful Russian girls,” documents released by the Department of Justice showed.

The latest batch of files includes dozens of emails that show Epstein’s tentacles reached deep into the beachfront destination — with one FBI document from 2020 showing someone sent a tip to the agency with claims sex trafficker had close connections in the area who would “procure underage girls for him.”

Some files in the latest batch also referred to Epstein’s grooming efforts on the young girls, which is the deliberate, calculated process where an abuser builds a relationship and trust with a child for the purpose of sexual exploitation and abuse, according to the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network, the largest anti-sexual violence organization in the country.

The disgraced financier frequently flew “the girls” to the Hamptons for trips that appear to be meant to groom the kids, according to claims in the documents. (Read more from “Jeffrey Epstein Masterminded ‘Girls Weekends’ in Ritzy Hamptons With Weird Overnight Stays: Emails” HERE)

Iran, US Agree on ‘Guiding Principles’ of Nuclear Deal, as Vance Says Dismantling Atomic Program Among ‘Red Lines’

/0 Comments/in , /by

American and Iranian negotiators have hashed out “guiding principles” for an agreement during the second round of talks on Tehran’s nuclear program, according to Iran Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi.

“We were able to reach a general agreement on a set of guiding principles, based on which we will proceed from now on and move toward drafting a potential agreement,” Araghchi told state TV earlier from Geneva, where the talks were held.

“This does not mean that we can quickly reach a final agreement, but at least the path has begun.”

A US official agreed that “progress was made, but there are still a lot of details to discuss. The Iranians said they would come back in the next two weeks with detailed proposals to address some of the open gaps in our positions.”

Vice President JD Vance told Fox News Tuesday afternoon that “in some ways” the talks went well, “but in other ways, it was very clear that the president has set some red lines that the Iranians are not yet willing to actually acknowledge and work through.” (Read more from “Iran, US Agree on ‘Guiding Principles’ of Nuclear Deal, as Vance Says Dismantling Atomic Program Among ‘Red Lines’” HERE)

The Rise in Transgender Killers Proves That We Have a Major Mental Health Crisis Unfolding

/0 Comments/in , /by

In what is becoming a regular occurrence, someone trans-identifying is accused of committing a mass murder, this time during a high school hockey game, in suburban Rhode Island.

Robert Dorgan, who preferred to be called Roberta, killed his ex-wife and one of his own children and shot three more people before turning the gun on himself.

In 2020, Dorgan had told police that he was being kicked out of his home, by his father-in-law, after Dorgan had undergone “gender-reassignment surgery.”

His wife, Rhonda Dorgan, wrote “gender reassignment surgery, narcissistic + personality disorder traits” as her grounds for divorce, but those words were crossed out and “irreconcilable differences which have caused the immediate breakdown of the marriage” was written instead.

Dorgan certainly seemed like he was going through a mental-health crisis.

In the days leading up to the slaughter, Dorgan posted on X, “keep bashing us. but do not wonder why we Go BERSERK.” (Read more from “The Rise in Transgender Killers Proves That We Have a Major Mental Health Crisis Unfolding” HERE)

Zelensky Warns Ukrainians Would Never ‘Forgive’ US for Ceding Major Region to Russia as Part of Peace Deal: ‘Not Fair’

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Ukrainian public would not accept Kyiv simply handing over the country’s Donbas region to Russia in a peace deal, President Volodymyr Zelensky said Tuesday — advising US envoys against continually pushing a version of peace the war’s victims would see as an “unsuccessful story.”

“Emotionally, people will never forgive this. Never. They will not forgive … me, they will not forgive [the US],” Zelensky told Axios, speaking as US, Russian and Ukrainian negotiators met in Geneva. “This is part of our country, all these citizens, the flag, the land.”

The president said it was “not fair” that President Trump has called on Ukraine — and not Russia — to make concessions to reach a peace deal.

Any change to the country’s recognition of its land would require a referendum approved by the Ukrainian people, according to Kyiv’s constitution.

Special Presidential Envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner have been working to rapidly seal a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine that would see Kyiv give up even the roughly 15% to 20% of the Donbas that it still controls, turning it into a “free economic zone.” (Read more from “Zelensky Warns Ukrainians Would Never ‘Forgive’ US for Ceding Major Region to Russia as Part of Peace Deal: ‘Not Fair’” HERE)

REPORT: Three Million Dogs to be Killed by Firing Squad Ahead of World Cup

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Animal rights groups have expressed outrage over Morocco’s alleged killing of millions of stray dogs ahead of the 2030 FIFA World Cup, according to a recent report.

Organizations such as the International Animal Welfare and Protection Coalition (IAWPC) and PETA have criticized Moroccan officials for culling the population of roughly three million stray dogs, according to the Daily Mail.

The animal rights organizations have reportedly “released images and testimony” claiming that Moroccan officials are resorting to “using harsh methods” such as “clamping dogs by the neck, loading them into trucks and poisoning or shooting them before disposing of their bodies,” according to the outlet.

In a “91-page dossier to FIFA” from the IAWPC, there were “photographs documenting poisonings, forced starvation, and the shooting of dogs.” The organization has claimed that after Morocco was confirmed to be one of the countries hosting the 2030 FIFA World Cup, the killing of stray dogs “has increased dramatically.”

“After the [World Cup confirmation], the extermination of the dogs has increased dramatically,” IAWPC stated, adding that “the fear is that Morocco will” proceed to kill millions of dogs, according to the outlet.

Massie Torches AG Bondi: ‘I Have No Confidence’

/3 Comments/in , , /by

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) said Sunday he has no confidence in Attorney General Pam Bondi, escalating tensions over the Justice Department’s handling of sensitive document disclosures tied to Jeffrey Epstein.

Appearing on ABC’s This Week, Massie did not mince words when asked by host Martha Raddatz whether he still trusted Bondi to lead the department.

“I don’t think Pam Bondi has confidence in Pam Bondi,” Massie said. “She wasn’t confident enough to engage in anything but name-calling in the hearing. And so no, I don’t have confidence in her.”

The Kentucky congressman sharply criticized Bondi’s responses during a recent congressional hearing, particularly over questions surrounding document redactions. Massie said he pressed the attorney general on who made the decision to redact the name of Lesley Wexner from a key document but received no clear answer.

“When I asked her specifically who redacted Lesley Wexner’s name from the one document that mattered, she couldn’t give me an answer. She wouldn’t give me an answer,” Massie said. “But ultimately, it’s her who is responsible for the document production. According to our law, the attorney general. It’s not Todd Blanche, it’s not the people below them. You can assign tasks to people, but you can’t assign your responsibility.”

Massie framed the controversy as part of a broader battle with powerful interests he claims are aligned against him.

“This is about the Epstein class, the people who are funding the attacks against me,” he said. “They may or may not be implicated in these files, but they were certainly rubbing shoulders with the people who are in these files. They’re billionaires who are friends with these people. And that’s what I’m up against.”
