100,000 Pages, 300 GB of Dirt, Zero Transparency: FBI’s Million-Dollar Cover-Up of Epstein’s Black Book in Overdrive

The bill requiring the Department of Justice to release the long-awaited Jeffrey Epstein files has officially been signed into law — but that doesn’t mean the public will see everything. Behind the scenes, the FBI has poured enormous time and money into redacting material from Epstein-related evidence before any documents become public.

According to a Bloomberg report, the bureau has spent nearly $1 million in overtime pay as part of what officials internally call the “Epstein Transparency Project,” also referred to as the “Special Redaction Project.” At a secure FBI facility in Winchester, Virginia, nearly 1,000 agents have been assigned to the monumental task of combing through evidence tied to Epstein’s criminal network, his death in 2019, and his vast trove of digital files.

Records show that between March 17 and March 22 alone, the FBI racked up $851,344 in costs, and between January and July, agents logged a staggering 4,737 overtime hours on the “transparency” project. And their work is far from over.

A Massive Trove of Evidence

The DOJ still holds:

• Nearly 100,000 pages of unreleased documents
• 40 computers and electronic devices
• 26 storage drives
• 70+ CDs
• 6 recording devices
• Over 300 GB of digital data

Investigators are also reviewing a wide range of physical evidence, including:

• Travel logs and visitor lists to Epstein’s private island
• Blueprints of Epstein’s New York and Caribbean properties
• Thousands of dollars in cash
• Four busts of female body parts
• Five massage tables
• A list labeled simply as a “document with names,” believed by many to be the elusive client list

Internal reports indicate that FBI Director Kash Patel — along with Attorney General Pam Bondi — has directed agents to flag every reference to Donald Trump in the evidence. The President’s ties to Epstein have long been a subject of scrutiny, and those directives are fueling suspicion about the true motives behind the slow, heavily redacted release process.

Trump and his allies in Congress fought aggressively to delay the release of the files, insisting that redactions are necessary to protect victims and uninvolved parties. But critics say the prolonged secrecy instead serves to protect powerful individuals who may appear in the evidence.

The stalemate broke only after Rep. Adelita Grijalva (D-AZ) was sworn into Congress last month — providing the final vote needed to force the files’ release.

Despite the law’s mandate, large portions of the Epstein archive may still remain hidden permanently. For now, the public waits — while federal agents work overtime to decide which truths remain concealed.

Black Friday Terror at Mall Sends Shoppers Hiding as Two Victims Hospitalized

Police reported that at least two victims with gunshot wounds have been transported to a local hospital after a shooting at Westfield Valley Fair Mall in San Jose, California appeared to take advantage of the Black Friday crowds.

“Units are currently investigating a shooting at Valley Fair Mall in West San Jose,” the San Jose Police Department wrote on X. “Two victims were located and have been transported to a local hospital with gunshot wounds.”

According to police, the “shooting appears to be an isolated incident and NOT an active shooter.”

Officials added that officers are evacuating and clearing the area to ensure there is no ongoing threat to public safety. “Please continue to avoid the area,” San Jose Police added.

San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan posted on X that “there is no ongoing threat to the community.” (Read more from “Black Friday Terror at Mall Sends Shoppers Hiding as Two Victims Hospitalized” HERE)

Washington D.C. National Guard Shootings: Did the CIA Import Its Own Assassin?

What is publicly known today is already unsettling enough. Rahmanullah Lakanwal, the 29-year-old Afghan who allegedly murdered one National Guard soldier and critically wounded another two blocks from the White House, spent roughly a decade inside one of the CIA’s most secretive Afghan paramilitary programs — the Kandahar Strike Force (NDS-03), commonly referred to inside the Agency as a “Zero Unit.”

These units were not regular Afghan army. They were trained, equipped, paid, and often directly tasked by the CIA, operating with far fewer rules than even U.S. Special Forces. Multiple human-rights reports accused Zero Units of extrajudicial killings, torture, and night raids that sometimes killed entire families.

When Kabul fell in August 2021, Lakanwal was not processed through the normal refugee pipeline. He was evacuated on a CIA-coordinated flight and granted humanitarian parole under Operation Allies Welcome — a status normally reserved for interpreters and others with documented U.S. government service.

His parole expired in 2023–2024, making him technically removable, yet no deportation case was ever opened against him. In April 2025 he was granted asylum in a closed immigration hearing and remained legally in the country with a pending green-card application.

On 26 November 2025 he drove approximately 2,700 miles from Washington State to Washington, D.C., purchased ammunition en route, and allegedly carried out a deliberate ambush on uniformed National Guard troops while shouting “Allahu Akbar.”

The foregoing timeline is not from some conspiracy theorist’s vivid imagination — it is derived from the undisputed public record. Yet these known facts leave a series of questions that no official has yet answered satisfactorily: why was an individual who spent ten years in one of the CIA’s most deniable, violent units fast-tracked into the United States while tens of thousands of other Afghan allies with cleaner records languished for years — or were denied entirely?

And once his humanitarian parole expired, why was no removal proceeding ever initiated, even though ICE routinely deports far less controversial cases? Was someone inside the government still protecting him?

Zero Units were not only fought the Taliban; in their final years they were increasingly used for domestic political missions inside Afghanistan (intimidation, disappearances, election interference on behalf of CIA-favored governors). When those networks collapsed in 2021, many members had enemies on all sides. Bringing such individuals to the United States has always carried obvious risks. Who made the risk-acceptance decision, and on what basis?

CIA Director Ratcliffe’s own words — “This individual — and so many others — should have never been allowed to come here” — imply that even the current leadership believes the original vetting decision was catastrophically wrong. If the Director of Central Intelligence now says the man should never have been admitted, who overruled standard procedures to bring him in 2021 and then kept him here after his legal status lapsed?

Finally, and most uncomfortably: paramilitary assets trained for a decade to conduct covert killings do not usually “go rogue” without some triggering event. Was Lakanwal radicalized after arrival (the official line), or had he always carried divided loyalties that his CIA handlers either missed or chose to ignore?

None of this proves a deliberate plot.

But when an agency that specializes in plausible deniability evacuates one of its own long-term killers, places him on American soil, shields him from normal immigration enforcement for years, and then watches him travel unimpeded across the continent to murder U.S. troops in the nation’s capital, it is not irrational to ask whether something far darker than simple incompetence is at work.

The American public has been told this was a “vetting failure.”

The known facts, however, raise the legitimate — and deeply disturbing — possibility that it was something else entirely.

We recognize that the investigations are only beginning. But the country deserves answers that go beyond press-release assurances, all the way to who exactly decided Rahmanullah Lakanwal belonged on American streets in the first place, to why no one ever reversed that terrible decision.

Hong Kong’s Wong Fuk Skyscrapers May Have Just Torched the Official WTC 7 Narrative

For almost a full day, the Wang Fuk Court residential complex in Hong Kong’s Tai Po district burned out of control. The eight-tower estate, home to around 2,000 apartments and built in the 1980s, was undergoing renovations at the time, wrapped in highly flammable bamboo scaffolding and green netting that fueled the rapid spread of flames. The blaze erupted around 2:50 p.m. on November 26, 2025, starting on the external scaffolding of one 32-story block and quickly leaping to adjacent towers amid gusty winds. At this point, some investigators believe the fire was caused by a welding accident during the construction work. Once it ignited, the blaze raced vertically through open construction voids and horizontally between buildings, producing temperatures that melted glass and turned structural elements red-hot. By hour 20, the towers were glowing skeletons, with thick smoke billowing from upper floors. But at no point did they collapse, not even partially, despite the inferno engulfing seven of the eight blocks.

The disaster has claimed at least 94 lives so far, with dozens more reported missing as rescue operations continue amid collapsed scaffolding and intense heat that hampered efforts. Over 800 firefighters, backed by 128 fire engines and 57 ambulances, battled the flames for more than 24 hours, finally containing most of the blaze by early November 27. One firefighter perished in the line of duty, and at least 70 others, including residents, suffered injuries from burns and smoke inhalation. A 71-year-old resident named Wong was photographed in tears outside the complex, pleading that his wife remained trapped inside. In a rare glimmer of hope, rescuers pulled a male survivor from the 16th floor of one tower late on November 27. Hong Kong Chief Executive John Lee has pledged comprehensive support, including a “one social worker per household” initiative for displaced residents now sheltering in nearby malls and community centers. Three executives from the construction firm overseeing the renovations were arrested on charges of gross negligence, as authorities probe why evacuation protocols faltered and why the highly combustible bamboo—despite government plans to phase it out in favor of fire-resistant metal—was still in use.

Compare that to World Trade Center Building 7 on September 11, 2001. A 47-story steel-framed skyscraper, never struck by an aircraft, WTC 7 fell at 5:20 p.m. in 6.5 seconds, roughly 2.25 seconds of that in pure gravitational free-fall, after roughly seven hours of localized office fires. The official NIST report concluded that fire alone caused the complete, symmetrical progressive collapse, the first and only time in history a steel-framed high-rise has fallen solely from fire.

9/11 Survivor Beaten to Death in Jacksonville: Three Teens Charged in Brutal Attack

Jacksonville, Fla. – A 64-year-old man who narrowly escaped the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks at the World Trade Center was fatally beaten in a series of assaults by three teenagers in downtown Jacksonville on October 19, authorities announced. The victim, Roger Borkum, a former computer consultant and Long Island native, had been living homeless at the time of the attack, which has sparked widespread outrage over escalating youth violence and the vulnerability of the unhoused.

According to a JSO press release and arrest reports obtained by local media, patrol officers responded to reports of an aggravated battery just before midnight on October 19 in the 100 block of North Hogan Street (near the Duval County Courthouse). They discovered Borkum severely beaten.

He was rushed to a local hospital, where he died of his injuries four days later on October 23. An autopsy confirmed the cause of death as homicide due to blunt-force trauma.

The investigation, led by JSO’s Homicide Unit in partnership with the State Attorney’s Office, revealed the three suspects as 13-year-old Justin Curry, 16-year-old Robert Pope, and 19-year-old Marcavion Lacey. Authorities note that Curry was only 12 at the time of the attack.

According to police reports, the trio reportedly beat Borkum three separate times over the course of about an hour on the night of October 19. The first assault was followed by a second attack, after which the suspects allegedly rifled through Borkum’s backpack. Then, the group returned a third time and beat him yet again before fleeing the area.

The arrests were made within hours of the attack, aided by a witness who saw the beating and provided descriptions.

On November 20, 2025, a Duval County grand jury indicted Curry; Pope and Lacey were already in custody. All three are now charged with murder.

The victim’s background has drawn deep attention: according to his obituary and multiple news reports, Borkum once worked as a computer consultant on the 77th floor of the North Tower at the World Trade Center — a job that ended in late July 2001, narrowly sparing him from the 9/11 attacks that claimed nearly 3,000 lives, including many of his former colleagues. At the time of his death, Borkum — a widower — had reportedly been living on the streets of downtown Jacksonville. The case has ignited a broader conversation about youth violence and protections for unhoused people in Jacksonville. Community members and local advocates have called the killing “senseless” — a stark reminder of how vulnerable homeless individuals can be, and how young some violent offenders have become.

“This case is a heartbreaking reminder of how young some offenders have become and how devastating the consequences are for victims, families, and the surrounding community,” JSO said in a statement. As the case proceeds, authorities are urging anyone with additional information or who witnessed the events around Hogan Street on October 19 to come forward.”

Tina Peter’s Attorney Backs Military Intervention to Free Her from “Cruel and Unusual Punishment” in Colorado’s State Prison System

Denver, Colo. – A Florida-based attorney representing Tina Peters, the former Mesa County clerk unjustly convicted of tampering with election equipment in a bid to fuel 2020 election fraud claims, has publicly endorsed the use of U.S. military forces to secure her release from state prison. The provocative suggestion, made during an appearance on Steve Bannon’s “War Room” podcast earlier this week, has drawn sharp rebukes from Colorado officials and election experts, who labeled it an “illegal order” that could undermine the rule of law.

Peter Ticktin, a constitutional lawyer and longtime associate of President Donald Trump from their days at New York Military Academy, appeared on the November 25 episode of Bannon’s podcast to discuss Peters’ ongoing appeals and a recent federal request to transfer her from state custody. Ticktin, who has lobbied for pardons for January 6 defendants, described Peters as a “political prisoner” and invoked President Dwight D. Eisenhower’s 1957 deployment of the 101st Airborne Division to enforce school desegregation in Little Rock, Arkansas. “Maybe we need to do what Eisenhower did [in Arkansas],” Ticktin said, referring to a similar federal intervention. When Bannon pressed him on whether that meant Trump should send troops to the Colorado State Penitentiary in Pueblo—where Peters is apparently serving her sentence—to order state officials to “back off” and release her, Ticktin replied, “Yeah—I’d love to see that happen.”

The comments, which have gone viral in conservative social media, come amid escalating pressure from Trump and his allies to free Peters, whom they portray as a patriot persecuted for exposing voter fraud. On November 24, Trump posted on Truth Social: “FREE TINA PETERS, WHO SITS IN A COLORADO PRISON, DYING & OLD, FOR ATTEMPTING TO EXPOSE VOTER FRAUD IN THE RIGGED 2020 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION!!!” This marked at least the third time Trump has demanded her release since her sentencing, previously calling her a “brave and innocent patriot” subjected to “cruel and unusual punishment.”

Peters, 70, was sentenced in October 2024 to nine years in prison after a Mesa County jury convicted her on seven of 10 felony and misdemeanor counts, including three felonies for attempting to influence a public servant, conspiracy, and identity theft. The charges stemmed from a 2021 security breach at the county clerk’s office, where Peters allowed unauthorized individuals—including a man linked to MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, a prominent Trump supporter—to access Dominion Voting Systems machines and copy sensitive election data. Prosecutors argued the scheme was driven by baseless conspiracy theories about the 2020 election, which Peters promoted at events with Lindell and other deniers.

Peters has steadfastly maintained her innocence, claiming the actions were necessary to verify election integrity, and is appealing her conviction while serving time at the minimum-security correctional facility.

Ticktin’s military proposal emerged in the context of a November 12, 2025, letter from the Federal Bureau of Prisons requesting Colorado transfer Peters to federal custody, citing her health concerns (she has reported issues including a broken wrist and access to medical care) and ongoing federal involvement in her habeas corpus petition. The U.S. Department of Justice has filed amicus briefs supporting her appeals, arguing her actions did not violate federal election laws. However, Colorado Department of Corrections spokesperson Alondra Gonzalez-Garcia stated on November 26 that the state is not pursuing a transfer, as such moves are initiated internally, not by external requests.

Establishment-controlled Republican Gov. Jared Polis has agreed to meet with a bipartisan coalition of Colorado county clerks who, in a rare joint letter on November 25, urged him to deny any transfer or release, warning it would “send a deeply damaging message” and would supposedly endanger election workers facing harassment from denialists.

Predictably, Colorado Attorney General Jenna Griswold, a Democrat, condemned the rhetoric on November 22, stating: “Tina Peters stands alone as an example of the nefarious actions and outcomes of election denialism. Her deliberate and criminal actions were perpetrated in support of Donald Trump’s ‘Big Lie.’ She violated Colorado law… and was found guilty by a jury of her peers.”

The controversy has apparently encouraged rhetoric against Colorado’s leftwing election officials, with far-right podcaster Joe Oltmann—Peters’ co-defendant in a related civil suit—calling on November 25 for the execution of Polis and others, stating they “should hang by their neck until dead.”

The Colorado County Clerks Association, supposedly representing all Democrats, Republicans, and Independents, claimed in its letter that Peters’ continued promotion of “conspiracies” has fueled violence, including doxxing and death threats against clerks.

Peters’ case remains a flashpoint in the election integrity movement. She lost her 2022 reelection bid but gained a national following, speaking at Trump rallies and testifying before Congress on fraud claims. Her appeals are pending in Colorado state courts, with Ticktin arguing jurisdictional errors and prosecutorial misconduct.

Report: Afghan National Suspect in National Guardsmen Shooting; Watch: Donald Trump Addresses the Nation

By Breitbart. Rahmanullah Lakanwal, a 29-year-old Afghan national, has been identified as the suspect in the shooting of two national guardsmen in Washington, D.C.

Multiple law enforcement officials reported confirmed to CBS News that “The suspect in the shooting of the two National Guard members is 29-year-old Afghan national Rahmanullah Lakanwal.”

“The suspect used a handgun to carry out the attack, two law enforcement sources told CBS News,” it added.

Lakanwal reportedly entered the United States in 2021, most likely as a result of President Joe Biden’s botched pullout of American troops from Afghanistan.

Bill Melugin of Fox News also reported that Lakanwal’s permission to stay in the U.S. expired in September and he has been in the country illegally since then.

“Per multiple federal law enforcement sources, the suspect in custody for the shooting of two National Guard soldiers in DC is an Afghan national who entered the U.S. on 9/8/2021 as part of the Biden admin’s Operation Allies Welcome in the aftermath of the US withdrawal from Afghanistan,” reported Melugin.

Transgender Cult Leader Goes On Anti-Trump Tirade In Courtroom

The transgender “Zizians” cult leader refused to answer basic questions and ranted about President Donald Trump during his Monday arraignment on a gun charge, The Baltimore Banner reported.

Jack “Ziz” LaSota, whose February arrest in Maryland concluded a nationwide manhunt, said Trump wants “genocide” against transgender people when a judge asked if he understood his charges, according to the outlet. The Department of Justice (DOJ) charged LaSota with possessing firearms and ammunition as a fugitive from justice after police found him and two others allegedly hiding in a box truck with loads of weapons. This was one of several strange crimes linked to the so-called Zizians.

“Your government is currently going around scooping up brown people and disappearing them,” the 33-year-old reportedly said while shackled by the ankles. “I’m transgender, and the intentions of this regime towards transgender people are very clear: genocide.”

LaSota declared that the judge was part of “an organized crime ring” run by the “states united in slavery,” according to The Baltimore Banner. When asked to state his name, he reportedly replied, “Justice,” and for his age, “Timeless.”

“I have been born many times,” LaSota reportedly said when the court asked for his birth year. (Read more from “Transgender Cult Leader Goes On Anti-Trump Tirade In Courtroom” HERE)

President Trump Just Made a Bombshell Announcement About Biden’s ‘Invalid’ Pardons

President Donald Trump dropped an explosive bombshell on Tuesday, revealing that former President Joe Biden may not have actually pardoned two turkeys on his last Thanksgiving in office.

While addressing reporters at the White House, President Trump announced his turkey pardons for this year. Then, he dropped the surprise announcement.

“Before going any further, I want to make an important announcement because you remember last year, after a thorough and very rigorous investigation by Pam Bondi and all of the people at Department of Justice, the FBI, the CIA, the White House Counsel’s Office, and the Department of Everything…Into a terrible situation caused by a man named Sleepy Joe Biden.”

The president continued, explaining that Biden “used an autopen last year for the turkey’s pardon” and that he has “the official duty to determine, and I have determined that last year’s turkey pardons are totally invalid, as are the pardons of about every other person that was pardoned.”

Trump did acknowledge that Biden’s son, Hunter, was rightly pardoned by the former president, but that “the rest of them are all invalid” and that the turkeys’ pardons were “hereby null and void.”

World’s Strongest Woman Winner Stripped of Title After Organizers Discovered She Was Born a Man

The controversial winner of the World’s Strongest Woman competition was stripped of her title Tuesday after organizers claimed the hulking American never told them she was born a man.

Jammie Booker was disqualified just days after she destroyed the competition at the Official Strongman Games World Championship in Arlington, Texas, over the weekend.

Organizers said Booker, from Philadelphia, violated the contest’s rules, which clearly stipulate that athletes must compete in the category that aligns with their biological sex at birth.

“It appears that an athlete who is biologically male and who now identifies as female competed in the Women’s Open category,” organizers said in a social media statement announcing the decision.

“Official Strongman officials were unaware of this fact ahead of the competition and we have been urgently investigating since being informed.” (Read more from “World’s Strongest Woman Winner Stripped of Title After Organizers Discovered She Was Born a Man” HERE)
