Epstein Jerky: What it Means and How it Fueled Cannibalism and Ritualistic Sacrifice Claims

/0 Comments/in , /by

When the US Department of Justice released more than three million records related to Jeffrey Epstein in January 2026, the trove quickly became fodder for online speculation. Among the most incendiary claims circulating on social media were assertions that the documents referenced cannibalism and accused Epstein or people in his orbit of participating in “ritualistic sacrifice.”

A review by Snopes confirmed that the Justice Department’s records do contain references to cannibalism and to allegations of ritualistic violence. The documents, however, do not substantiate the accusations. . .

The most graphic allegations appear in summaries of a purported 2019 interview between FBI officials and an anonymous man described in the records as a “purported victim” of Epstein’s abuse. According to the summaries, the man claimed that he had witnessed acts of “ritualistic sacrifice” aboard Epstein’s yacht in 2000, including the dismemberment of babies. The records state that the man provided no corroborating evidence.

In one version of the interview, an agent concluded that the claims did not warrant further investigative resources. The Justice Department files also note that the man did not allege cannibalism during the interview, though he claimed that individuals consumed human feces. The FBI declined to comment when asked why the allegations were not pursued.

Some appear in unrelated contexts: media summaries, an academic syllabus, a transcript of a conversation between Epstein and an associate, and — most notably — an email in which Epstein mentions jerky and “a restaurant called Cannibal.” That reference, involving food and dining rather than violence, has nonetheless been cited online as proof of darker conduct[.] (Read more from “Epstein Jerky: What it Means and How it Fueled Cannibalism and Ritualistic Sacrifice Claims” HERE)

Who Are the Six Men Named in the Unredacted Epstein Files?

/1 Comment/in , , /by

By The Guardian. Ro Khanna, the US congressman, publicly revealed the names of six men whose identities were redacted from the Jeffrey Epstein files, including Leslie Wexner, a billionaire retail magnate, whom the FBI appeared to have labeled as a co-conspirator.

The Democratic representative of California disclosed the names during a floor speech on Tuesday, following a visit to the Department of Justice, where he and Thomas Massie, a Republican congressman from Kentucky, spent two hours reviewing unredacted documents.

The six men named by Khanna are Wexner, the Victoria’s Secret founder; Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, CEO of DP World and an Emirati billionaire businessman; and four others identified as Nicola Caputo, Salvatore Nuara, Zurab Mikeladze and Leonic Leonov.

Khanna did not provide evidence of wrongdoing against any of them nor have they been charged with a crime in connection with Epstein.

“If we found six men that they were hiding in two hours, imagine how many men they are covering up for in those 3m files,” Khanna said during his floor speech. (Read more from “Who Are the Six Men Named in the Unredacted Epstein Files?” HERE)

Epstein files: Congresswoman says she has own list of names to depose

By News Nation. In the aftermath of Democrat Rep. Ro Khanna reading the names of six previously redacted names in the Jeffrey Epstein files, Congresswoman Nancy Mace says she has her own list of people she would like to subpoena in the case.

“I took a lot of notes. I saw a lot of names,” the South Carolina Republican said during a Tuesday appearance on “Katie Pavlich Tonight.” “I wanted to look at the documents of the people who have not been arrested or investigated. A lot of that information is still redacted.” . . .

Mace stated in her findings she found names of several women who were possible co-conspirators with Epstein.

The names belong to “adult women who were recruiting young women and potentially underage individuals to give to Jeffrey Epstein,” she said. “Really disgusting behavior. These are people that I want to have brought in, tesitfy and answer some very tough questions.”

“I’m very concerned as a survivor about protecting the personal information, the names of underage children of some of these women that was put out in the public. And it’s also, it’s shaming. It’s victim shaming,” Mace said. (Read more from “Epstein files: Congresswoman says she has own list of names to depose” HERE)

Epstein Files: Questions Swirl Over Redacted 2009 Email With Subject Line ‘Trump’

/1 Comment/in , /by

The subject line reads “Trump.”

The date is Oct. 14, 2009.

The email is from criminal defense attorney Jack Goldberger to his client, Jeffrey Epstein — which Epstein in turn forwarded to his associate, Ghislaine Maxwell.

“Spoke to Alan Garten, Trump’s attorney [redaction],” Goldberger wrote. “Garten arranged a 20 minute phone conference with Trump and Brad in lieu of a depo.. Following was discussed:” . . .

The document, ABC News has confirmed, was among those materials reviewed in unredacted form by some members of Congress on Monday, following the Justice Department’s major release of files from its probe into Epstein, the late sex offender who died by suicide in 2019.

Among those who reviewed the email was Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin, who said it was “puzzling” why the document was redacted in the first place. Raskin also said the message’s content “seems to be at odds” with some of the things President Trump has said about the end of his association with Epstein in the 2000s.

Ghislaine Maxwell Pleads the Fifth but Says She’d ‘Speak Fully and Honestly’ if Trump Grants Her Clemency

/0 Comments/in , /by

Jeffrey Epstein co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell refused to answer questions from the House Oversight Committee on Monday, but her attorney said she is “prepared to speak fully and honestly” if President Donald Trump grants her clemency.

“Only she can provide the complete account” of Epstein’s actions, David Oscar Markus said in a statement after Maxwell’s brief virtual appearance before the panel in the morning, where she invoked her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination.

“Some may not like what they hear, but the truth matters. For example, both President Trump and President Clinton are innocent of any wrongdoing. Ms. Maxwell alone can explain why, and the public is entitled to that explanation,” Markus said, sharing what he said he told the panel.

Markus said he told committee members his client “would very much like to answer your questions,” but she “must remain silent because Ms. Maxwell has a habeas petition currently pending that demonstrates that her conviction rests on a fundamentally unfair trial.”

That would change if she’s granted clemency, the statement said. Trump has not publicly ruled out pardoning Maxwell. “I haven’t thought about it for months. Maybe I haven’t thought about it at all,” he told reporters on Air Force One in November. “I don’t talk about that. I don’t rule it in or out,” he said then.

Epstein Email Reveals Twisted Hidden Cameras Plot

/0 Comments/in , /by

The latest tranche of Epstein files includes a 2014 email from the infamous sexual predator asking his personal pilot to purchase and place tiny hidden cameras for him around his home in Palm Beach, Florida. While it’s unclear where exactly the cameras were placed and what they were used for, it’s not a far stretch to infer that they aided Epstein in his trafficking and abuse in some way—especially as multiple victims have reported that they felt they were being recorded when visiting his properties.

“Lets get three motion detected hidden cameras, that record, thanks. also a new airplay compatible receiver for gym thanks,” Epstein wrote to his pilot, Larry Visoski, in February 2014, as first reported by The Telegraph.

“Jeffrey, I already two purchased the Motion sensor camera from the Spy Store in Fort Lauderdale yesterday, I charged them last night and figuring our how to work them as we speak,” Visoski wrote back. “Its amazing how small they are, the size of Thumb nail drive, 64 hour recording, Motion sensor. I’m installing them into Kleenex boxes now. I’ll bring them by later today, I just had a Root Canal done, so I’m still hurting.” (Read more from “Epstein Email Reveals Twisted Hidden Cameras Plot” HERE)

White House Defends Commerce Secretary After Bombshell Revelation of Visit to Epstein’s Pedo Island

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump continues to back Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick after Lutnick admitted having visited Jeffrey Epstein’s private island before a Senate committee Tuesday.

“Secretary Lutnick remains a very important member of President Trump’s team, and the President fully supports the secretary,” said White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt at a briefing Tuesday.

In an October podcast interview with New York Post Editor Miranda Devine, Lutnick had said that he and his wife did not pursue any kind of relationship with Epstein after moving next door and meeting him in 2005. They were, according to Lutnick, put off by some comments Epstein made about his massage table while giving them a tour of his home.

“My wife and I decided that I will never be in the room with that disgusting person ever again. So I was never in the room with him socially, for business, or even philanthropy. If that guy was there, I wasn’t going because he’s gross,” Lutnick said. “So yeah, that’s my story, a one and absolutely done.”

But recently disclosed documents from the Epstein files revealed that Lutnick did, in fact, maintain a relationship with Epstein including investing in a business together, meeting for drinks, discussing neighboring property development and invitations to dinners and galas, until 2018. Several emails also suggested that Lutnick had at least tried to visit Epstein’s island while spending some time in the Caribbean on vacation.

Unsealed Affidavit Reveals Basis For FBI’s Fulton County Election Office Search

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The affidavit supporting an FBI search of Fulton County’s election offices was unsealed on Tuesday.

U.S. District Judge J.P. Boulee, a Trump appointee, ordered the unsealing of documents pertaining to the government’s seizure of ballots and other materials related to the 2020 election in January.

Some allegations of impropriety relating to the voting process in 2020 “have been disproven while some of those allegations have been substantiated, including through admissions by Fulton County,” FBI Special Agent Hugh Raymond Evans wrote in an affidavit.

“This warrant application is part of an FBI criminal investigation into whether any of the improprieties were intentional acts that violated federal criminal laws,” Evans wrote.

The investigation stems from former Trump campaign lawyer Kurt Olsen’s referral, according to the affidavit. Olsen joined the administration in October. (Read more from “Unsealed Affidavit Reveals Basis For FBI’s Fulton County Election Office Search” HERE)

US To Pay United Nations Billions

/4 Comments/in , , /by

The Trump administration will send an initial payment toward billions in overdue United Nations dues within weeks.

U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Mike Waltz told Fox News Digital the payment comes with strings attached. He rejected claims that America bears responsibility for the organization’s cash crisis.

“The United States pays to the U.N. system more than 180 countries combined,” Waltz said. “We have historically been the largest supporter of the U.N., but under President Trump, we’re demanding reform.”

Waltz said the administration’s pressure has already produced results. The U.N. agreed to cut nearly 3,000 headquarters positions and approved its first budget reduction in 80 years. The organization also plans to reduce global peacekeeping forces by 25%.

The U.S. owes roughly $2.19 billion to the U.N.’s regular budget as of early February, according to Reuters. America also carries an additional $2.4 billion in unpaid peacekeeping assessments and $43.6 million for U.N. tribunals. (Read more from “US To Pay United Nations Billions” HERE)

Here’s Where Prosecutors Should Look For More Evidence Of Somali Daycare Fraud

/1 Comment/in , , /by

A lot has been made of the Nick Shirley videos claiming to “prove” that dozens of companies owned and allegedly operated by Somalis as daycare centers were involved in defrauding the federal government out of hundreds of millions of U.S. taxpayer dollars. And although these videos show numerous daycare facilities with boarded-up windows, broken doors, untreated snow-covered sidewalks and parking lots, no operating phone numbers, no playground equipment, and most importantly zero children at them during regular working hours, this circumstantial evidence only lays the groundwork for identifying hundreds of potential fraudsters.

The corporate media, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, and other leaders on the American left have dismissed Shirley’s videos as unsubstantiated propaganda and/or “racist,” but in fact prosecuting those involved with these sham daycare centers should be relatively easy, using an assortment of readily available financial records.

It is undisputed that Somali daycare centers received millions of federal dollars either directly or through various state-sponsored programs funded by federal grants. And since either Minnesota or the federal government made ACH or other electronic payments directly to these businesses, they already know which business bank accounts to pursue.

By now, the Department of Justice should have issued federal criminal subpoenas for records related to all these accounts. And since banks are typically required to respond to criminal subpoenas within 1 to 2 weeks, the feds already should have lists of which business entities were paid, their business type (C-Corp, S-Corp, LLC, general partnership, etc.), their employer identification number, and lists of authorized account signers. With this data and the accompanying monthly bank statements, tracing disbursements from these business accounts will be the next phase of any investigation.

Of course, if large transfers were made to other bank accounts, the DOJ should repeat the subpoena process until all disbursements are found. If these efforts uncover large cash withdrawals from these accounts, this would indicate large-scale fraud, since legitimate businesses operating in present-day America pay almost all operating expenses electronically or by bank ACH — never by cash. If these centers used paper checks, information regarding who was paid and how much would be readily discernable from copies of cancelled checks.
