Ghislaine Maxwell has stated in interviews that her biggest regret is ever meeting Jeffrey Epstein—a claim that, on the surface, might sound like remorse, but upon closer inspection feels more like an evasion of responsibility. Rather than expressing deep sorrow for the harm done to the victims she groomed and enabled, Maxwell frames her regret around how Epstein's downfall impacted her own life. It's a self-serving statement that conveniently positions her as a victim of circumstance rather than a key participant in a vast sex trafficking enterprise. By centering her regret on the personal consequences of their association, rather than the lives shattered by their actions, Maxwell continues to sidestep any meaningful acknowledgment of guilt.Critically, this so-called regret lacks any mention of the underage girls she recruited, manipulated, and, in some cases, directly abused. She doesn't express sorrow for the trauma inflicted, for the years stolen, or for the trust she violated under the guise of mentorship. Her regret is about proximity—not culpability. It's a statement crafted for image repair, not accountability. In the grand scheme of her crimes, saying she regrets meeting Epstein is like an arsonist lamenting the decision to light a match because they now have burn scars—not because the building went up in flames. It's hollow, calculated, and emblematic of Maxwell's continued refusal to face the full horror of what she did.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://www.express.co.uk/news/royal/1683885/ghislaine-maxwell-interview-prince-andrew-jeffrey-epstein-spt

The American Red Cross has declared a severe blood shortage after the nationwide flu outbreak and widespread snowfall across the country. They say the national blood supply has fallen 35% over the past month with 350 blood drives from Oklahoma to Maine were cancelled because of the winter storm, which would have collected 10,000 units of blood. FOX's Tonya J. Powers speaks with Dr. Courtney Lawrence, Division Chief Medical Officer of the American Red Cross, who says the shortage significant and is asking folks in good health who can drive safely to a donation center to do so.

In this segment we're going back to the Office of Inspector General's report on Jeffrey Epstein's non-prosecution agreement, but this time with a perspective that simply didn't exist when most people first read it — the full, unfiltered interview Alex Acosta gave to the Inspector General after the scandal finally exploded. Because once you've seen how Acosta explains himself, how he hedges, how he minimizes, how he quietly rewrites his own role in real time, that OIG report stops reading like a neutral internal review and starts reading like a document built around what Acosta was willing to admit, not what actually happened. Passages that once sounded procedural now look evasive, timelines that once seemed complete suddenly feel selectively curated, and key conclusions begin to rest on a version of events that Acosta himself later contradicted under questioning. What we're really doing here is stress-testing the government's own narrative — comparing what the OIG said happened with what the chief architect of the deal later admitted, denied, and carefully avoided — and in the process, exposing just how much of the official record may have been shaped not by truth, but by damage control.The Department of Justice Office of the Inspector General (OIG) report into Jeffrey Epstein's 2007 Non-Prosecution Agreement (NPA) presents a disturbing portrait of federal cowardice, systemic failures, and deliberate abdication of prosecutorial duty. Instead of zealously pursuing justice against a serial predator with dozens of underage victims, the U.S. Attorney's Office in the Southern District of Florida, under Alexander Acosta, caved to Epstein's high-powered legal team and crafted a sweetheart deal that immunized not just Epstein, but unnamed potential co-conspirators—many of whom are still shielded to this day. The report shows that career prosecutors initially prepared a 53-page indictment, but this was ultimately buried, replaced by state charges that led to minimal jail time, lenient conditions, and near-total impunity. The OIG paints the decision as a series of poor judgments rather than criminal misconduct, but this framing betrays the magnitude of what actually occurred: a calculated retreat in the face of wealth and influence.Critically, the report fails to hold any individuals truly accountable, nor does it demand structural reform that could prevent similar derelictions of justice. It accepts, without sufficient pushback, the justifications offered by federal prosecutors who claimed their hands were tied or that the case was too risky—despite overwhelming evidence and a mountain of victim statements. The OIG sidesteps the glaring reality that this was not just bureaucratic failure, but a protection racket masquerading as legal discretion. It treats corruption as incompetence and power as inevitability. The conclusion, ultimately, feels like a shrug—a bureaucratic absolution of one of the most disgraceful collapses of federal prosecutorial integrity in modern history. It is less a reckoning than a rubber stamp on institutional failure.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:dl (justice.gov)This episode includes AI-generated content.

On Thursday, a judge in a Belfast court lifted an injunction that would have prevented Michael Flatley's involvement in the Lord of the Dance show, due to begin in Dublin next week before a multi-date international tour.The Chicago-born dancer was lead performer and choreographer of Riverdance, the 1994 Eurovision interval show that introduced a new, high octane, modern form of Irish dancing to the world.It brought him fame and fortune and in 1996 he developed a global touring show called Lord of the Dance. Critically acclaimed it was for many years wildly successful.With the 30-year anniversary of Lord of the Dance coming up, Flately who is based in Monaco, signed a contract with Newry firm Switzer Consulting to run the shows. And it's the details of that contract that were in contention.During the civil case taken by Switzer, the court heard claims about Flatley's lifestyle that will come as a surprise to his many fans.His former financial adviser Des Walshe claimed that his ex-client was “all about image”, and living a millionaire's lifestyle funded by borrowing. “He was faking it on a multimillion euro scale,” Walshe submitted to the court.So how did Flatley react to this damning characterisation? And what was his reaction when the judge lifted the injunction.Belfast-based reporter Paul Colgan explains the complex case and why it has come to this for the world's most famous Irish dancer.Presented by Bernice Harrison.

In this segment we're going back to the Office of Inspector General's report on Jeffrey Epstein's non-prosecution agreement, but this time with a perspective that simply didn't exist when most people first read it — the full, unfiltered interview Alex Acosta gave to the Inspector General after the scandal finally exploded. Because once you've seen how Acosta explains himself, how he hedges, how he minimizes, how he quietly rewrites his own role in real time, that OIG report stops reading like a neutral internal review and starts reading like a document built around what Acosta was willing to admit, not what actually happened. Passages that once sounded procedural now look evasive, timelines that once seemed complete suddenly feel selectively curated, and key conclusions begin to rest on a version of events that Acosta himself later contradicted under questioning. What we're really doing here is stress-testing the government's own narrative — comparing what the OIG said happened with what the chief architect of the deal later admitted, denied, and carefully avoided — and in the process, exposing just how much of the official record may have been shaped not by truth, but by damage control.The Department of Justice Office of the Inspector General (OIG) report into Jeffrey Epstein's 2007 Non-Prosecution Agreement (NPA) presents a disturbing portrait of federal cowardice, systemic failures, and deliberate abdication of prosecutorial duty. Instead of zealously pursuing justice against a serial predator with dozens of underage victims, the U.S. Attorney's Office in the Southern District of Florida, under Alexander Acosta, caved to Epstein's high-powered legal team and crafted a sweetheart deal that immunized not just Epstein, but unnamed potential co-conspirators—many of whom are still shielded to this day. The report shows that career prosecutors initially prepared a 53-page indictment, but this was ultimately buried, replaced by state charges that led to minimal jail time, lenient conditions, and near-total impunity. The OIG paints the decision as a series of poor judgments rather than criminal misconduct, but this framing betrays the magnitude of what actually occurred: a calculated retreat in the face of wealth and influence.Critically, the report fails to hold any individuals truly accountable, nor does it demand structural reform that could prevent similar derelictions of justice. It accepts, without sufficient pushback, the justifications offered by federal prosecutors who claimed their hands were tied or that the case was too risky—despite overwhelming evidence and a mountain of victim statements.

Ghislaine Maxwell has stated in interviews that her biggest regret is ever meeting Jeffrey Epstein—a claim that, on the surface, might sound like remorse, but upon closer inspection feels more like an evasion of responsibility. Rather than expressing deep sorrow for the harm done to the victims she groomed and enabled, Maxwell frames her regret around how Epstein's downfall impacted her own life. It's a self-serving statement that conveniently positions her as a victim of circumstance rather than a key participant in a vast sex trafficking enterprise. By centering her regret on the personal consequences of their association, rather than the lives shattered by their actions, Maxwell continues to sidestep any meaningful acknowledgment of guilt.Critically, this so-called regret lacks any mention of the underage girls she recruited, manipulated, and, in some cases, directly abused. She doesn't express sorrow for the trauma inflicted, for the years stolen, or for the trust she violated under the guise of mentorship. Her regret is about proximity—not culpability. It's a statement crafted for image repair, not accountability. In the grand scheme of her crimes, saying she regrets meeting Epstein is like an arsonist lamenting the decision to light a match because they now have burn scars—not because the building went up in flames. It's hollow, calculated, and emblematic of Maxwell's continued refusal to face the full horror of what she did.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://www.express.co.uk/news/royal/1683885/ghislaine-maxwell-interview-prince-andrew-jeffrey-epstein-sptBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

The OIG paints the decision as a series of poor judgments rather than criminal misconduct, but this framing betrays the magnitude of what actually occurred: a calculated retreat in the face of wealth and influence.Critically, the report fails to hold any individuals truly accountable, nor does it demand structural reform that could prevent similar derelictions of justice. It accepts, without sufficient pushback, the justifications offered by federal prosecutors who claimed their hands were tied or that the case was too risky—despite overwhelming evidence and a mountain of victim statements. The OIG sidesteps the glaring reality that this was not just bureaucratic failure, but a protection racket masquerading as legal discretion. It treats corruption as incompetence and power as inevitability.

In this segment we're going back to the Office of Inspector General's report on Jeffrey Epstein's non-prosecution agreement, but this time with a perspective that simply didn't exist when most people first read it — the full, unfiltered interview Alex Acosta gave to the Inspector General after the scandal finally exploded. Because once you've seen how Acosta explains himself, how he hedges, how he minimizes, how he quietly rewrites his own role in real time, that OIG report stops reading like a neutral internal review and starts reading like a document built around what Acosta was willing to admit, not what actually happened. Passages that once sounded procedural now look evasive, timelines that once seemed complete suddenly feel selectively curated, and key conclusions begin to rest on a version of events that Acosta himself later contradicted under questioning. What we're really doing here is stress-testing the government's own narrative — comparing what the OIG said happened with what the chief architect of the deal later admitted, denied, and carefully avoided — and in the process, exposing just how much of the official record may have been shaped not by truth, but by damage control.The Department of Justice Office of the Inspector General (OIG) report into Jeffrey Epstein's 2007 Non-Prosecution Agreement (NPA) presents a disturbing portrait of federal cowardice, systemic failures, and deliberate abdication of prosecutorial duty.

In this segment we're going back to the Office of Inspector General's report on Jeffrey Epstein's non-prosecution agreement, but this time with a perspective that simply didn't exist when most people first read it — the full, unfiltered interview Alex Acosta gave to the Inspector General after the scandal finally exploded. Because once you've seen how Acosta explains himself, how he hedges, how he minimizes, how he quietly rewrites his own role in real time, that OIG report stops reading like a neutral internal review and starts reading like a document built around what Acosta was willing to admit, not what actually happened. Passages that once sounded procedural now look evasive, timelines that once seemed complete suddenly feel selectively curated, and key conclusions begin to rest on a version of events that Acosta himself later contradicted under questioning. What we're really doing here is stress-testing the government's own narrative — comparing what the OIG said happened with what the chief architect of the deal later admitted, denied, and carefully avoided — and in the process, exposing just how much of the official record may have been shaped not by truth, but by damage control.The Department of Justice Office of the Inspector General (OIG) report into Jeffrey Epstein's 2007 Non-Prosecution Agreement (NPA) presents a disturbing portrait of federal cowardice, systemic failures, and deliberate abdication of prosecutorial duty. Instead of zealously pursuing justice against a serial predator with dozens of underage victims, the U.S. Attorney's Office in the Southern District of Florida, under Alexander Acosta, caved to Epstein's high-powered legal team and crafted a sweetheart deal that immunized not just Epstein, but unnamed potential co-conspirators—many of whom are still shielded to this day. The report shows that career prosecutors initially prepared a 53-page indictment, but this was ultimately buried, replaced by state charges that led to minimal jail time, lenient conditions, and near-total impunity. The OIG paints the decision as a series of poor judgments rather than criminal misconduct, but this framing betrays the magnitude of what actually occurred: a calculated retreat in the face of wealth and influence.Critically, the report fails to hold any individuals truly accountable, nor does it demand structural reform that could prevent similar derelictions of justice. It accepts, without sufficient pushback, the justifications offered by federal prosecutors who claimed their hands were tied or that the case was too risky—despite overwhelming evidence and a mountain of victim statements. The OIG sidesteps the glaring reality that this was not just bureaucratic failure, but a protection racket masquerading as legal discretion. It treats corruption as incompetence and power as inevitability.

Interview with Brian Miller, Director & CEO Of Astra ExplorationOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/astra-exploration-tsxvastr-pitch-perfect-november-2025-8536Recording date: 20th January 2026Astra Exploration (TSXV:ASTR) is aggressively advancing its flagship La Manchuria precious metals project in Argentina following encouraging initial drilling results that have validated management's exploration thesis. CEO Brian Miller outlined the company's progress and 2026 strategy in a recent discussion covering exploration results, geological interpretation, and capital allocation priorities.The company's most significant achievement was securing La Manchuria in mid-2024 and completing an inaugural drill program in early 2025 that intersected exceptional near-surface grades. Miller emphasized the quality of mineralization: "The grades that we've intersected there, they're not common to get repeat grades because I'm literally talking about ounces of gold and kilograms of silver in open drill intercepts near surface. And they're not one-offs. We've repeated several of those."Critically, Phase 1 results demonstrated that the mineralized system extends well beyond previous geological interpretations. The project was thought to be faulted off at both ends along strike, but Astra has proven the system continues in both directions with new parallel zones identified. This expansion fundamentally changes the scale potential, with the deposit now opening up in multiple dimensions including at depth.Astra initiated a 10,000-meter Phase 2 drill program in October 2025, with the first half focused on extending the surface footprint through shallow drilling and the second half targeting deeper zones starting March 2026. Assays from the initial phase are currently pending and expected to provide critical information about lateral continuity and the effectiveness of geophysical targeting methodology.Rather than rushing toward formal resource estimation, management is prioritizing demonstration of scale through step-out drilling. This capital-efficient approach aims to prove system extent before the expensive, dilutive infill drilling required for resource definition. The company maintains its original thesis of multi-million-ounce potential.Argentina's unprecedented political and economic reforms have attracted major mining companies including Lundin, BHP, Kinross, and Barrick to deploy significant capital in the country, validating the jurisdiction and reducing perceived country risk. Management views 2026 as having potential to match or exceed 2025's success, with near-term valuation dependent on pending assay results that will determine how much metal the expanded system contains.View Astra Exploration's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/astra-explorationSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

In a combative letter to Republican Rep. James Comer, former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton rejected congressional subpoenas tied to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation, dismissing the Oversight Committee's effort as a “partisan” attack rather than a bona fide search for truth. They called the subpoenas “invalid and legally unenforceable,” accusing Comer of seeking to “harass and embarrass” them and of prioritizing political theater over genuine accountability for Epstein's crimes. The Clintons insisted they had already provided “the little information we have” in written statements and portrayed the push for in-person testimony as a distraction from more substantive work Congress could—and should—be doing.Critically, their letter sidestepped the broader questions that prompted the subpoenas in the first place, including Bill Clinton's well-documented social and travel connections to Epstein in the 1990s and early 2000s, which have fueled public demands for transparency. Rather than addressing why those interactions and related records deserve scrutiny, the Clintons framed the entire inquiry as illegitimate, weaponizing claims of partisanship to shut down scrutiny without offering meaningful cooperation. By focusing on political grievance instead of clarifying the full extent of their knowledge or engagement with Epstein, their response has been perceived by critics as defensive and dismissive at a time when survivors and investigators are urgently seeking accountability.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:01-12-26-dek-ltr-to-chairman-comer.pdf

In a highly criticized letter to two federal judges overseeing the release of the Justice Department's Jeffrey Epstein files, Attorney General Pam Bondi acknowledged that the ongoing document review process had encountered “glitches” but insisted that the DOJ was making “substantial progress” toward compliance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Bondi framed the delays and technical issues as inevitable given the “voluminous materials” and the need to protect victim privacy, highlighting a massive review effort involving hundreds of personnel and a centralized platform to process and redact documents. Her letter, however, offered no clear timeline for completing the statutorily required disclosures and emphasized only that the department was working “as expeditiously as possible” without compromising sensitive information.Critically, Bondi's letter has been condemned by survivors, lawmakers, and transparency advocates as a thinly veiled excuse for failing to meet the law's clear deadlines and for mishandling one of the most consequential releases of government documents in recent memory. Observers have pointed out that the “glitches” have ranged from a malfunctioning search function on the public document site to missing files and excessive redactions that render swaths of material nearly useless, raising questions about whether the problems are truly technical or instead reflect evasiveness and lack of urgency. Critics argue that calling these systemic failures mere “glitches” trivializes real legal obligations and victims' demands for accountability, suggesting that Bondi's leadership has been more defensive than transparent and that she has repeatedly failed to provide the court or the public with a credible plan to fulfill the law's requirements.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Epstein Files Update as Pam Bondi Admits ‘Glitches' - Newsweek
