In his memoir One Damn Thing After Another, former Attorney General Bill Barr reaffirmed his belief that Jeffrey Epstein died by suicide, dismissing widespread speculation of foul play. Barr described Epstein's death as “a perfect storm of screw-ups,” blaming systemic incompetence at the Metropolitan Correctional Center rather than conspiracy. He detailed how the facility's guards failed to perform mandatory checks, cameras malfunctioned, and protocols broke down at every level. Barr said that after personally viewing the surveillance footage and autopsy results, he concluded Epstein had indeed hanged himself, though he admitted the timing and circumstances were “unbelievably coincidental.” He also recounted informing then-President Trump, who reacted with disbelief that such a high-profile prisoner could die in federal custody.Journalist Michael Wolff took a sharply different angle in his reporting and in his book Too Famous. Wolff portrayed Epstein's death not as mere bureaucratic failure but as a politically charged event involving figures like Bill Barr. He claimed Epstein boasted before his death that Barr, not Trump, was “really in charge” in Washington—an assertion that Wolff framed as symbolic of Epstein's manipulative arrogance and deep connections. Wolff insinuated that Barr's Justice Department may have had incentives to control the fallout surrounding Epstein's demise, emphasizing how quickly official narratives were accepted and how conveniently they buried lingering questions. His depiction suggested Epstein's end fit a long pattern of elite protection and strategic silence rather than pure misfortune.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Violando el derecho internacional, el ejército israelí detuvo este jueves a la Flotilla de la Libertad que se dirigía hacia la Franja de Gaza con ayuda. Fue en aguas internacionales, a pocas millas de la costa palestina. Entre los más de 400 tripulantes detenidos están la activista Greta Thunberg, la exalcaldesa de Barcelona, Ada Colau y nuestro compañero Carlos de Barrón.

Bill Barr's deposition before Congress on Jeffrey Epstein was a masterclass in calculated deflection. While Barr insisted that Epstein's death was “absolutely” suicide, he conceded that the prison surveillance system had “blind spots”—a detail that conveniently leaves just enough room for speculation without providing definitive answers. His reliance on flawed or incomplete camera footage, combined with his dismissal of alternative forensic perspectives, came off less like transparency and more like institutional damage control. Instead of holding the Bureau of Prisons accountable, Barr's narrative positioned the failures as unfortunate but inconsequential, a stance that fails to satisfy the public demand for clarity.Just as troubling was Barr's evasiveness when pressed about Donald Trump's knowledge of Epstein. He admitted to having spoken with Trump about Epstein's death but couldn't recall when one of those conversations occurred—an astonishing lapse considering the gravity of the matter. His reasoning that “if there were more to it, it would have leaked” was not only flippant but dismissive of the very real history of suppression, obstruction, and selective disclosure that has defined the Epstein saga. By leaning on institutional trust in a case defined by betrayal of that very trust, Barr's testimony did little more than reinforce suspicions that the Department of Justice has long been more concerned with containment than accountability.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Barr-Transcript.pdf

La flotilla de la Libertad sigue navegando hacia Gaza, en su cuarta semana de travesía. Los más de 40 barcos con ayuda humanitaria están ya a pocos centenares de millas náuticas de la costa de la Franja. Muy cerca de aguas internacionales del Mediterráneo Oriental. Esa es la zona de riesgo donde Israel suele interceptar los barcos. Los tripulantes están preparados después de haber sufrido tres ataques con drones. En estas horas de incertidumbre hablamos con nuestro compañero, Carlos de Barrón, en alta mar.

Plenty of digital health companies think they're built for international expansion—until they hit a wall. It's rarely just compliance or language. More often, the real problem is the product itself.In this interview from RLDatix's London HQ, Miles Barr, Chief Technology Officer, shares how his team successfully scaled their health IT platform to five countries—and what most teams overlook when they try to follow.From designing for regional flexibility to embedding compliance into infrastructure, Barr outlines the quiet decisions that made AI, incident reporting, and local success possible across borders.Where are you in your global scaling journey? What's been the biggest surprise so far? Drop a comment below—we'd love to hear.
Story 1: The term “fascist” has become the go-to insult among politicians and political steamers as of late, but how many of them understand the definition behind it? Will breaks down what the true definition of fascism is and explains how its misuse can potentially embolden some to commit acts of violence. Story 2: Congressman Andy Barr (R-KY) joins Will to discuss the rise in support for socialism in Democrats across the country, and the ripple effect it has had amongst the Democratic Party's politics. Plus, Rep. Barr and Will react to a viral clip of Kentucky legend Colonel Sanders' great-great-great nephew denouncing KFC's risqué marketing, before proceeding to reveal what he claims are the secret 11 herbs and spices. Story 3: Host of ‘The Rubin Report,' Dave Rubin helps Will break down the bizarre support from the UK's National Health Service for first cousin marriage, which they now claim leads to stronger social support systems and economic advantages? Will and Dave examine how such a study could have been published despite overwhelming evidence suggesting that such marriages lead to birth defects, and what a sudden influx of Pakistani migrants has to do with it. Plus, in Final Takes, Will and The Crew share their thoughts on last night's tie between the Cowboys & the Packers, before discussing Bad Bunny being selected to headline the Super Bowl halftime show.

Malheureusement, on s'en doutait un peu, il faudra patienter au moins une saison supplémentaire pour espérer trouver un successeur à Julian Alaphilippe dernier coureur français à revêtir l'arc en ciel, c'était en 2021 à Louven en Belgique. Un Julian qui a fait un passage express dans cette course. Quelques kilomètress à peine avant d'être contraint à l'abandon pour des problèmes intestinaux. Des soucis qui quelques minutes plus tard contraignaient également Louis Barré à mettre pied à terre. Paul Seixas, lui, est la grande satisfaction française. Du haut de ses 19 ans, il disputait pour la première fois de sa vie une course aussi longue et termine 13e.

The things service design professionals have to deal with...Okay, so your boss tells you drive to a place with “a great view,” hands a full tank of gas, and wished good luck. Oh and by the way, we need to be there in 30-days, no compass, no map.Now take a guess, how likely is it that after a month you'll have arrived at exactly the location they had in mind. I'd say anything higher than 0 is an optimistic perspective.This sounds pretty absurd, right? But I'm not making it up.But how often have you been in that exact situation at work? The destination is vague, nobody can tell you where you are today, and there's no way to know if your actions are actually moving you in the right direction. And the cherry on top is when you're asked for hard evidence that you're getting closer, while someone else gets praised for reporting a higher average speed than last week. Yeah, but dude, are we even moving in the right direction? So painful and frustrating.If you didn't know better, you might think this is the plot of a bad comedy. But based on the conversations I'm having, this isn't an exception; it's the daily reality for most of you.So, what are we going to do about it?Even though the situation might feel a bit hopeless, the good news is that it's certainly not. Last year, I had Stacey Barr on the show to talk about measurement. She's spent her career becoming an expert in using measures as a truth seeker. Guess what that conversation became the most-watched episode of the year.In this episode, Stacey is back to show us how to untangle this mess.There's a remarkably simple process, that looks a lot like design, to get from vague goals to meaningful measures, clear targets, and effective actions. It's a method that gives you real leverage to achieve the impact you want to make. So if you want to learn how to put measures in place that are actually meaningful, prove your work is moving the needle, and do it with more confidence, definitely don't miss this episode.What's becoming clear to me is that we're actually really good at this. We thrive in scenarios where things are undefined. We know how to figure stuff out and iterate our way forward. So once you grasp that finding the right measurements is just another design challenge, you might actually start looking forward the process...Enjoy and keep making a positive impact!Be well~ Marc--- [ 1.

His reasoning that “if there were more to it, it would have leaked” was not only flippant but dismissive of the very real history of suppression, obstruction, and selective disclosure that has defined the Epstein saga. By leaning on institutional trust in a case defined by betrayal of that very trust, Barr's testimony did little more than reinforce suspicions that the Department of Justice has long been more concerned with containment than accountability.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Barr-Transcript.pdfBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Bill Barr's deposition before Congress on Jeffrey Epstein was a masterclass in calculated deflection. While Barr insisted that Epstein's death was “absolutely” suicide, he conceded that the prison surveillance system had “blind spots”—a detail that conveniently leaves just enough room for speculation without providing definitive answers. His reliance on flawed or incomplete camera footage, combined with his dismissal of alternative forensic perspectives, came off less like transparency and more like institutional damage control. Instead of holding the Bureau of Prisons accountable, Barr's narrative positioned the failures as unfortunate but inconsequential, a stance that fails to satisfy the public demand for clarity.Just as troubling was Barr's evasiveness when pressed about Donald Trump's knowledge of Epstein. He admitted to having spoken with Trump about Epstein's death but couldn't recall when one of those conversations occurred—an astonishing lapse considering the gravity of the matter. His reasoning that “if there were more to it, it would have leaked” was not only flippant but dismissive of the very real history of suppression, obstruction, and selective disclosure that has defined the Epstein saga. By leaning on institutional trust in a case defined by betrayal of that very trust, Barr's testimony did little more than reinforce suspicions that the Department of Justice has long been more concerned with containment than accountability.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Barr-Transcript.pdfBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Dr. Keira Barr is a board-certified dermatologist and pioneer in psychodermatology who diagnosed her own melanoma — and discovered that the real culprit behind most skin struggles isn't bacteria, hormones, or even genetics. It's your nervous system, stuck in stress mode. Inside this episode, you'll discover: • The stress–skin pipeline: Why cortisol breaks down collagen faster than age. • Acne + anxiety: 75% of acne sufferers also struggle with stress — and why flare-ups mirror your emotions. • Eczema, psoriasis & hives decoded: The specific emotions tied to each, from grief to suppressed anger. • Skin as armor: How trauma imprints on your skin, even decades later. • The 2-minute ritual: A self-touch practice that activates oxytocin and calms your skin from the inside out. • Generational echoes: Why mom's stress during pregnancy predisposes babies to eczema. • The vacation effect: Why your skin clears when you leave your stress behind — not because of creams. • The shame loop: How picking and prodding are coping strategies, not bad habits. • Beauty, redefined: “Why would I be anti anything about myself? Beauty is acceptance of who we are in our skin.” This isn't about adding more steps to your routine. It's about understanding that your skin is your nervous system's billboard. Dr. Barr shows you how to address the root cause of inflammation from the inside out. Stop fighting your skin and start listening to it. Your clearest complexion is waiting on the other side of nervous system regulation.

Bill Barr's role in Jeffrey Epstein's death investigation was defined by damage control and a remarkable ability to look the other way. As Attorney General, Barr initially made noise about how “seriously” the Justice Department would take Epstein's suspicious jailhouse demise. Yet, instead of digging deep into the glaring failures at the Metropolitan Correctional Center—broken cameras, sleeping guards, missing logs—Barr quickly pivoted to dismissing conspiracy theories and insisting the death was a straightforward suicide. His stance looked less like impartial oversight and more like someone working overtime to calm the waters, shut down speculation, and steer the narrative away from systemic accountability.Adding to the skepticism was Barr's quiet meeting with financier Stone Reyes, a man rumored to have ties in the same murky corridors of influence Epstein once prowled. That sit-down only fueled suspicion that Barr wasn't hunting for truth but rather for ways to contain fallout. The optics were appalling: the nation's top lawman holding private conversations with power brokers while brushing aside the most high-profile custodial death in modern memory. Instead of delivering transparency, Barr left the public with more questions than answers, cementing his role not as a seeker of justice, but as one more gatekeeper standing between Epstein's secrets and the light of day.to contat me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Here's how it works:Opt-In Program: The auto-voting feature is a voluntary, opt-in program for retail investors.Automatic Voting: Once enrolled, an investor's shares will be automatically voted in accordance with the board's recommendations on all proposals at shareholder meetings.Flexibility for Investors: Despite the automated nature, investors will still receive all proxy materials and retain the right to manually override the automatic vote on any specific proposal. They can also opt out of the program at any time, free of charge.Exxon's Stated Rationale:Leveling the Playing Field: Exxon argues that this program is a matter of fairness, designed to give retail investors the same ease of voting that institutional investors have. They contend that individual investors often lack the time and resources to research and vote on complex proxy proposals.Addressing Low Turnout: The company has highlighted that while retail investors hold a significant portion of its shares (nearly 40%), their voting turnout is low (only about a quarter of them vote).Countering Activist Agendas: Exxon has explicitly stated that activist groups have exploited this low retail voter participation to advance their own agendas, which the company claims are often political and detrimental to long-term shareholder value.Texas AG probes proxy advisers Glass Lewis, ISS amid ESG backlash By ReutersExxon Urges Europe to Repeal Rules to Make Companies Track Climate PollutionGoodliest of the Week (MM/DR):DR: Tyson is ditching corn syrupIt also plans to axe sucralose, BHA/BHT, and titanium dioxide from its food by the end of 2025MM: New Poll Finds That Americans Loathe AI53 percent of just over 5,000 US adults polled in June think that AI will "worsen people's ability to think creatively."

Nexstar strongly objects to recent comments made by Mr. Kimmel concerning the killing of Charlie Kirk and will replace the show with other programming in its ABC-affiliated markets.”Again, if you read Kimmel's actual comment, he's saying that MAGA doesn't want the shooter to be MAGA… he actually didn't say ANYTHING ELSE about the shooting itselfSonnenfeld: “Kimmel's suggestion that “the MAGA gang (is) desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them” doesn't square with the facts which are known at this point. Regardless, these comments are blatantly insensitive as political violence should never be tolerated or exploited as comedic entertainment, no matter who perpetrated it.”Except Kimmel didn't joke about political violence, he joked about the fact that MAGA is super hoping it wasn't their political violence.Perry Sook's political donations have been almost entirely to Republican candidates over the last decade (except for National Association of Broadcasters) - and it's paid offBrendan Carr, Soon To Be FCC Chair, Says Commission Will Back Local TV Stations “Even If That's In Conflict” With Broadcast NetworksNew FCC boss could unleash biggest local TV shakeup in decadesSook owns just under 6% of Nexstar stock, with Vanguard and Blackrock clocking in at a combined 21.8% - meaning about 28% of votes are guaranteed to go with managementMeaning this was all a pretense to consolidate broadcaster ownership - and Sook is one of the winners of the consolidationNow Carr has a reason he can vote for Nexstar purchase, Iger gets out of more ABCASSHOLE ACTION ITEMIt's basically too late to vote against Nexstar's board - their meeting was in June 2025, the merger will be approved by thenYou could maybe buy shares and vote against the mergerAlternatively, buy Yelp (Tony Wells), Denny's (Bernadette Aulestia), and Urban One (Geoffrey Armstrong) to vote out board elsewhereDavid Deniston SmithCEO of Sinclair, owner of 20% of ABC affiliates - the most currently, but post merger would be secondNepo baby Smith, who, with the rest of his brothers and family, own 82% of voting power, are Trump and GOP toadiesAnother mediocre conservative blowhard CEO who spent the last two decades kissing the ass of every republican he can findHe was one of Turning Point USAs biggest donors through his foundation, and issued the following statement: they would “not lift the suspension of ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!' on our stations until formal discussions are held with ABC regarding the network's commitment to professionalism and accountability,” calling on Kimmel to make a direct apology to the Kirk family, and for the network to make a “meaningful donation” to them and Turning Point USA.In the 00s, Sinclair let a paid Bush administration propagandist deliver reporting on their local news stationsIn Trump 1.0, Sinclair forced local news broadcasters to read off a script about how mainstream media was fake newsIn the 90s, Smith was caught getting a blowjob from a prostituteASSHOLE ACTION ITEMSinclair's board is dual class dictatorship, but you CAN vote out Ben Carson on the DR Horton and Covenant Logistics boards - yes, that Ben CarsonHeadliniest of the WeekDR: Elon Musk Fires 500 Staff at xAI, Puts College Kid in Charge of Training GrokMM: If You Don't Know Who the Underperforming Director Is, It Might Be You!Are the CEO, chair or committee leads soliciting my input off-cycle?Does the CEO and select members of the executive team think of me as a trusted advisor and am I able to constructively coach behind the scenes?If the answers to all of these questions are “No,” it could be a sign that you are not performing to the level expected by your company's management.YOU DON'T REPORT TO MANAGEMENTWho Won the Week?DR: I guess they just win every week: Trumpy and creepy billionaires profiting over an app used primarily by 18-34 year olds (70%): Oracle's Larry Elison, Andreessen Horowitz's Marc Andreessen.MM: Gillette, the razor company: Pete Hegseth goes to war against military beards, stresses ‘grooming standards which underpin the warrior ethos'PredictionsDR: FCC Chair Brendan Carr cancels himself when he digs up reports when he cast himself as a First Amendment purist, denouncing efforts by Democrats and Republicans to lean on TV providers and social media platforms as “censorship” and a “chilling transgression of free speech.”ure on media a ‘chilling transgression of free speech.'”MM: I wrote this on Bluesky two days ago: “The next step for Brendan Carr and the FCC is to repeal Section 230 - after which they can sue social media companies for any anti-conservative posts.

During his deposition, former Attorney General Bill Barr confirmed that Prince Andrew was always someone the Southern District of New York wanted to question in connection with the Jeffrey Epstein case. Barr explained that Andrew was regarded as a witness the DOJ hoped to interview, given the allegations raised by Virginia Giuffre and the supporting evidence investigators had compiled, such as travel and hotel records. He noted there was an ongoing “dispute” regarding Andrew's cooperation, highlighting how prosecutors publicly stated he wasn't cooperating, while Andrew's camp insisted otherwise.Barr also clarified that, despite the SDNY's interest, he did not recall ever being informed that Andrew had been officially elevated to the level of a “subject” or “target” of the investigation. In Barr's account, Andrew remained in that gray zone of being a “person of interest” — someone the DOJ wanted information from, but not someone the department was actively moving to prosecute or extradite. This distinction reinforced how Andrew's royal status and wealth seemed to keep him shielded from the more aggressive legal pursuit others in Epstein's orbit faced.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Prince Andrew was 'at least' a witness in the Jeffrey Epstein investigation, reveals former chief US prosecutor as he recalls 'zero cooperation' press conference in newly-released Epstein files | Daily Mail Online
Former Attorney General William Barr resurfaced in the Epstein debate this week, testifying before Congress that Jeffrey Epstein's 2019 death was “undoubtedly suicide.” Barr acknowledged severe lapses in prison security, including broken cameras and inattentive guards, but maintained that these amounted to negligence, not conspiracy. His certainty, however, reignited public skepticism, as many critics argue the unanswered questions surrounding Epstein's death make any definitive conclusion premature.Meanwhile, FBI Director Kash Patel faced heated questioning in a separate congressional hearing about the bureau's handling of Epstein's files. Patel insisted the FBI has complied with all legal obligations but admitted he had not personally reviewed the materials, a revelation that angered lawmakers and survivor advocates. Democrats accused him of stonewalling to shield powerful figures, while Republicans defended his position that releasing certain documents could compromise ongoing cases.Adding further intrigue, Patel confirmed the FBI is open to investigating whether a disputed 2003 signature in Epstein's “birthday book” belongs to Donald Trump. Trump has denied its authenticity, calling it a forgery, but Democrats quickly demanded an independent forensic review. With Barr closing the door on further questions about Epstein's death, Patel hedging on transparency, and the Trump signature stirring new controversy, the scandal remains unresolved—continuing to haunt America's political, legal, and social institutions six years after Epstein's death.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com
