Federal authorities originally claimed that surveillance footage from the night of Jeffrey Epstein's death showed no one entering his cell. But new scrutiny has emerged after analysts pointed out a strange, orange-colored shape appearing near the stairwell at 10:40 p.m.—an hour when Epstein was still alive. The Department of Justice suggested it was a corrections officer carrying linens or inmate clothing, but multiple independent experts now say the figure's movement and appearance are more consistent with an inmate in an orange jumpsuit. The ambiguous figure has reignited skepticism around the official story, raising fresh concerns about who had access to Epstein's unit that nightAdding to the suspicion, experts noted that the surveillance footage released to the public wasn't raw video as claimed—it contained visible edits, a mouse cursor on screen, and key blind spots, including the entrance to Epstein's actual cell. There's also a one-minute time skip just before midnight, a gap the DOJ hasn't adequately explained. With these discrepancies, many are calling the DOJ's suicide narrative into question once again, especially given the MCC's long-documented staffing failures, camera malfunctions, and now, a mystery figure lurking in orange just an hour before Epstein was found dead.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Mystery orange shape spotted near Jeffrey Epstein's jail cell night before his death: report

A grand jury indicted 15 people Tuesday in connection to anti-ICE protests this winter.The charges include “conspiracy to impede or injure federal officers” and stalking.

He's a history professor at Rutgers University and leading expert on antifa.

With graduation season wrapping up, many teenagers around the Bay Area are celebrating the end of high school and are making plans to begin college. But in Washington DC, policymakers are fighting over college access.In the past year, the Trump Administration has worked quickly to dismantle the Department of Education. And one of the major programs they want to eliminate is called TRIO, a federally-funded initiative that helps low-income students and those who would be the first in their families to go to college. Thousands of those students in the Bay Area get support from TRIO programs to get into college and graduate. KALW reporter Anna Casalme visited two programs in San Francisco to understand what this political fight means for students.

Jane Fonda, like so many on the Left, is the worst kind of hypocrite. She plays the part of a free speech warrior while participating in the most totalitarian movement this country has ever seen.There she was, yet again, yapping into a microphone to protest Trump's UFC 250. The signs behind her are ablaze with pure lies - Civil Rights! The First Amendment! You can't silence us! But Jane Fonda and the company she founded, Women's Media Center, do not practice what they preach. They fired me for the crime of voting for Donald Trump. I had been regularly hired for almost ten years to write their Women in Oscars report until a story broke in the Hollywood Reporter calling me a “MAGA darling.” And just like that, my 25-year career as a “woman-owned” Oscar website went up in flames, as did my freelance gig for WMC.It's true, I did vote for Donald Trump. Not only did I vote for him, but I also made my support for him known on social media, which is what caught the reporter's attention in the first place. I was supposed to cower in fear. Support the Democrats or else. I could have done what a lot of people did and kept my vote for Trump secret, but I didn't think I should have to. Weren't we the side that stood up for free speech and free expression?No. We weren't then, and aren't now. There is a long trail of writers, thinkers, actors, artists, musicians, and ordinary citizens who have been destroyed by the Left's machine for the crime of dissent. And thousands more who suffer in silence, knowing there are so many things they can't say.Only one side regularly censored users on social media, and that was the Biden administration working with the FBI. Only one side used the FBI and the CIA to censor the Hunter Biden laptop to thwart the re-election of the sitting president. That wasn't the Right.Because Jimmy Kimmel got a slap on the wrist and Trump sued CBS News, and there's a merger with Paramount and Warner Bros., to people like Jane Fonda, that means the First Amendment is under threat. My message to her: clean your own house, Jane. Jane Fonda obviously wasn't directly involved in firing me. She has no idea who I even am. It was someone else, someone I trusted, maybe someone who seemed like a decent person, but, like everyone else, from writers to publicists to friends, once I crossed that bright red line, I was no longer someone they would associate with at parties, let alone hire.It certainly wasn't because I did not do good work. I did. I even asked Grok to fact-check my memory, and here is what came back:Nobody knows the Oscars like I do, and I did the best work for them on the cheap because I liked doing it. I tried to make my case as clearly as possible to the Hollywood Reporter that I could not go along with the unprecedented lawfare against Trump, and especially not “gender affirming care” on minor children. These things motivated me to do more than just vote. I had to go public. I thought my support would help others come out from the shadows. I knew as I was talking to that reporter that nothing I said would make a difference. I wouldn't have even talked to her except she said she'd write the story anyway. She was reporting on what I thought and what I was tweeting, which was verboten inside utopia. And boy, did the hammer come down.After the story broke and I felt every door that had once been open to me slam in my face, I kept hearing yet another piece of bad news. The studios were pulling their ads. Yet another writer was leaving the site. I was not invited to screenings, parties, and premieres. The publicists all ghosted me. It was as though I had been arrested for committing mass murder.One of the last of the gut punches was losing that freelance gig at Women's Media Center. I kind of knew it was coming because, of course, it would be. They all went along with it, and almost no one had the courage to push back or resist any of it. I wrote to them anyway because I wanted to hear it from them. And I got the expected answer.Jane Fonda founded the Women's Media Center in 2005, along with Robin Morgan and Gloria Steinem. They describe themselves as “a progressive, nonpartisan nonprofit focused on increasing the visibility, influence, and decision-making power of women and girls in media.”They were perfectly happy to drop a woman writer for the sole crime of not agreeing with their politics. I'd say they don't really support women in media so much as they support those who go along with them.I never played the woman card, but I could have. I built my site just to build it, and it became successful. I was a single mom in 1999 and raised my baby and my website at the same time. It is quite the story, especially for those who pretend to care about women in media. Why would it matter if I voted for Trump? Why would that mean I could no longer write the report? Why have they decided that all of this is okay, to treat half the country like toxic waste? How have they gotten away with it, and what will be their plans should they take back absolute power?They have painted themselves into a trauma corner with nowhere else to go, and in so doing, alienated themselves from much of this country. Where can you go when you've already gone as far as humanity ever has? Hitler, the Nazis, fascism. They've now gone to the only place they can go, wishing for and hoping for Trump's death and vowing never to forgive anyone who voted for Trump. A Royal CourtThere was a time when I believed in all of it, too. The miracle of the first Black President and First Family. How one leader could bring together so much of American society, all of us reaching for the same goal because we all believed in a New America.We projected our fantasies of goodness onto them as they built what looked like a Royal Court of the most impressive and important people in the country, including rock stars like Bruce Springsteen and Katy Perry, actors like Robert De Niro and Julia Roberts. They were the party, and we were the adoring crowd. But all of that came with a price. If you want to be in the Royal Court, you'd best play ball because if you don't, they can and will crush you. I had no idea that everything I built could be destroyed just because I dissented, and yet that is exactly what happened. Jane Fonda's Women's Media Center dropping me was the most disappointing because I believed in her, too. Now I know the truth. I am just one example. There are hundreds of people who are not welcome to work in the film industry if they are not ideologically compliant. We've been living with this for ten years now, and it's become our new normal. Very few people are brave enough to stand up to them. Deep down, they all know it because they are too afraid to say the wrong thing, too. It's easier to point their finger at Trump than confront what they have become - the blacklists, the shunning, the destroying of people's careers. If they could do it to me, they can do it to anyone.What they don't see, what they can't see, is what they've done to the other half of the country for ten years. They want us all to think it's perfectly normal that our late-night talk show hosts are purely partisan, or that it's perfectly fine for Hollywood to continue to tell the story from inside their Doomsday Cult rather than the reality of all Americans.They don't see themselves as the ones who can't tolerate dissent or free speech and who fire people just for voting for Donald Trump. They believe themselves to be the chosen ones, the righteous few who have staked their claim on the New America, and those who aren't on board must be purged. They've convinced themselves that it was perfectly fine that Jimmy Kimmel made an inhumane joke about Charlie Kirk moments after his brutal assassination, but when millions of upset viewers flooded the station with angry calls to have him removed, they called that a threat to free speech.They don't seem to care that Biden imported millions of illegal immigrants into the country, and when many of them turned out to be murderers, rapists, and child molesters, they left a trail of victims, but those victims are invisible to the Left. They never even hear about them because in their minds, those illegal immigrants are to be protected above American citizens.So Julia Roberts and Bruce Springsteen continue to use the deaths of Renee Goode and Alex Pretti as examples of authoritarianism and to make American citizens feel shame for caring about their country and wanting a secure border and to be protected from harm. They never spent one minute comforting the mothers whose children were harmed by policies they supported.It wasn't Trump who shot Pretti and Goode. They put themselves in a dangerous position to go to war against Federal agents who were doing their jobs. In the Left's fever dream, they were battling Nazis. But they never notice or care or even try to understand why so many Americans wanted Trump to follow through on his promise to mass deport illegal immigrants, something every president has done. These mothers, like a lot of Trump supporters, had no other choice because this country, at the hands of the Left, means denying reality to serve utopia. You can't talk about crime if the perp is an illegal immigrant or a person of color, just as you can't discuss the harms of “gender affirming care.” I know, I've tried. They melt down like the housewife in The Stepford Wives who glitches at any confrontation of reality. That's how it's felt to me all these years, like I'm trying to talk to preprogrammed robots who know what you can and can't say. I kept wondering what happened to everyone and why they were all acting exactly the same way. They were insulated from the rest of the country, and their imaginations got the better of them.What really happened to the ruling aristocracy, especially, is that they fell in love with their own reflection. They began to believe their own publicity, and so they couldn't imagine the fault could ever possibly lie with them.It would have just been so much easier and so much better for everyone if they had just tried to understand why they lost. They never will, and so, they are doomed to repeat the same mistakes. And we have to suffer through it every time one of them finds a microphone. // This is a public episode.

The New World screwworm continues to be a major concern for livestock producers across the southern United States, but Texas agricultural leaders say coordinated efforts between state and federal agencies are helping contain the threat and protect animal health. On today's episode of AgNet News Hour, Texas Farm Bureau Director of Communications Gary Joiner provided an update on the latest developments surrounding New World screwworm detections in Texas and the ongoing response efforts. According to Joiner, the primary focus remains surveillance, rapid reporting, and immediate intervention whenever a case is identified. He noted that the pest was successfully eradicated in the United States decades ago and expressed confidence that modern technology and improved preparedness can help prevent widespread impacts today. “We beat this screwworm back in the 1970s,” Joiner said. “We can do it again. We've got better technology, better tools, and I think our farm and ranch community is better prepared.” Federal involvement has played a significant role in the response. Joiner highlighted the efforts of U.S. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins and USDA officials, who have dedicated additional personnel and resources toward monitoring and controlling the pest. State animal health officials, wildlife agencies, and livestock producers are also working together under a coordinated response plan. One important measure has been the temporary closure of live animal imports from Mexico. While the move has created challenges for some cattle feeders who rely on imported livestock, officials say it is necessary to reduce the risk of additional infestations entering the country. Joiner emphasized that New World screwworm is an animal health issue rather than a food safety issue. “This is not a food safety concern,” Joiner explained. “There is no impact on the meat of the animal or on any other food products consumers enjoy.” Current detections have involved livestock as well as a canine case, underscoring the importance of vigilance among ranchers, veterinarians, and pet owners. Officials recommend promptly treating wounds, monitoring animals for unusual symptoms, and maintaining close communication with veterinarians regarding prevention and treatment options. The response strategy also includes the release of sterile screwworm flies, a proven method that disrupts the insect's reproductive cycle and helps reduce wild populations. Combined with trapping, surveillance, and rapid treatment protocols, officials believe the approach can effectively contain outbreaks before they spread further. While livestock producers remain concerned about the potential economic impacts of New World screwworm, Joiner said the industry is taking the threat seriously and working collaboratively to prevent a larger outbreak. As monitoring continues throughout Texas and other border states, agricultural leaders say awareness and early detection remain the most important tools in protecting the nation's livestock industry.

No “Estadão Analisa” desta terça-feira, 16, Carlos Andreazza fala sobre a novela em torno da delação premiada de Daniel Vorcaro. O procurador-geral da República, Paulo Gonet, rejeitou a segunda proposta de delação premiada apresentada pelo banqueiro Daniel Vorcaro, dias após a Polícia Federal também ter rechaçado um acordo com o dono do Banco Master. Com isso, os investigadores fecham o cerco contra Vorcaro e sinalizam que, ao menos por ora, não há mais espaço para uma negociação. A manifestação da Procuradoria-Geral da República (PGR) foi apresentada nesta segunda-feira, 15, e aponta que as informações apresentadas por Vorcaro não trazem provas novas e teriam pouca utilidade para as investigações. Na semana passada, a Polícia Federal também chegou a uma conclusão semelhante e comunicou à defesa de Vorcaro que não tinha interesse na sua proposta de colaboração premiada. Como mostrou o Estadão, Vorcaro chegou a justificar aos seus advogados que fez pagamentos a políticos por causa de sua relação de amizade com eles. A primeira proposta foi recusada pela Polícia Federal e pela PGR, mas a equipe de Paulo Gonet deixou a negociação aberta e pediu à defesa de Vorcaro que completasse as lacunas do acordo. Depois disso, o banqueiro chegou a acrescentar mais fatos no acordo e mudou parte dessas narrativas, mas o material não foi suficiente para convencer os investigadores.

Confira os destaques do Jornal da Manhã desta terça-feira (16): O presidente Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva participa da cúpula do G7, onde realiza reuniões bilaterais com líderes internacionais. O governo brasileiro trabalha com a possibilidade de um encontro entre Lula e o presidente dos Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, mas ainda sem confirmação oficial. A agenda inclui discussões sobre acordos comerciais, relações diplomáticas e conflitos internacionais. A Anac vai investigar se algum dos helicópteros envolvidos na colisão no Rio de Janeiro realizava transporte clandestino de passageiros. A apuração busca identificar se as aeronaves atuavam fora das autorizações concedidas pela agência, como no serviço irregular de táxi-aéreo. O acidente segue sob investigação das autoridades competentes. A Câmara dos Deputados liberou a votação remota pelo sistema Infoleg para todas as sessões deliberativas até o início do recesso parlamentar. A medida permite que os deputados participem das votações sem estar presencialmente em Brasília. As sessões serão mantidas em todas as semanas, inclusive durante o feriado de São João. A Polícia Civil do Rio de Janeiro concluiu a investigação sobre o estupro coletivo de uma adolescente de 14 anos ocorrido em Botafogo, em 2023. Dois adolescentes e um adulto são apontados como responsáveis pelo crime. Dois dos investigados também são suspeitos de envolvimento em um caso semelhante registrado em Copacabana, em 2026. A Primeira Turma do STF deve decidir se condena ou absolve o deputado cassado Eduardo Bolsonaro pelo crime de coação no curso do processo. Segundo a PGR, ele teria atuado junto ao governo dos Estados Unidos para pressionar ministros da Corte e interferir em processos relacionados ao ex-presidente Jair Bolsonaro. Uma eventual condenação pode tornar o parlamentar inelegível. O primeiro-ministro do Reino Unido, Keir Starmer, defendeu a proibição do uso de redes sociais por menores de 16 anos e novas restrições a plataformas digitais. A proposta busca ampliar a proteção de crianças e adolescentes no ambiente virtual. As medidas também atingiriam aplicativos de mensagens, redes sociais e plataformas de jogos online. O deputado Leo Prates, relator da proposta que regulamenta o fim da escala 6x1, afirmou que o novo parecer não deve trazer mudanças significativas além das adequações necessárias à legislação trabalhista. O tema segue em discussão na Câmara dos Deputados. O Jornal da Manhã entrevista José Velloso, presidente-executivo da Abimaq, sobre o assunto. As deputadas Erika Hilton e Tabata Amaral acionaram a Polícia Federal e o Ministério Público Federal para investigar mensagens de ódio publicadas após a morte de Maria Eduarda Rodrigues de Freitas. Segundo as parlamentares, algumas postagens fizeram apologia a crimes e zombaram da tragédia ocorrida durante uma atividade de rope jumping em São Paulo. O caso segue sendo apurado pela Polícia Civil. Uma arma registrada em nome do ex-presidente Jair Bolsonaro foi apreendida pela Polícia Militar do Distrito Federal durante uma blitz de rotina em Taguatinga. O armamento estava com um militar do Gabinete de Segurança Institucional (GSI), que afirmou que a arma estava quebrada e seria levada para conserto. Após prestar depoimento, o militar foi liberado, enquanto a arma permaneceu apreendida. A 21ª Delegacia de Polícia de Taguatinga Sul ficará responsável por investigar o caso e verificar a regularidade da documentação e do transporte do armamento.

Florida failed Epstein's survivors at nearly every level. Palm Beach police built a serious case showing that Epstein had sexually abused numerous underage girls, yet state prosecutors reduced the matter to charges that treated his conduct more like ordinary prostitution than an organized pattern of child exploitation. Federal prosecutors then negotiated an extraordinarily lenient non-prosecution agreement behind closed doors, ending the broader investigation, protecting potential co-conspirators and keeping the survivors uninformed while Epstein's lawyers shaped the outcome. He ultimately served roughly 13 months under unusually generous work-release conditions, allowing him to leave jail for long stretches while the women and girls he abused were denied a meaningful voice in the process. The Justice Department later concluded that then-U.S. Attorney Alexander Acosta exercised “poor judgment,” but that finding offered little accountability for a deal that denied survivors the justice they had every reason to expect.New York's failure came later, after Epstein's 2008 conviction had already made the danger unmistakable. He returned to Manhattan, remained surrounded by wealth and influence, maintained access to young women and continued moving through elite social and financial circles with remarkably little interference. New York authorities allowed him to register as a lower-level sex offender until a judge ordered the highest-risk classification, while major institutions continued doing business with him despite obvious warning signs. Although federal prosecutors in Manhattan finally arrested him in 2019, that action came only after years of additional alleged abuse, and his death in federal custody eliminated the possibility of a public trial that could have exposed the full operation and forced other participants to answer questions. Florida gave Epstein the deal that preserved his freedom; New York gave him the time, access and institutional tolerance to continue operating, leaving survivors to carry the consequences of failures committed by both states.to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In this episode, host Sandy Vance chats with Brad Schoffstall, Vice President of Health and Compliance Programs at CGI, and Dr. James Peake, Senior Vice President and former Secretary of Veterans Affairs and Army Surgeon General. They have a wide-ranging and practical conversation about what it actually takes to modernize data infrastructure at federal health agencies. With Brad's 35 years at CGI and Dr. Peake's 16 years, this is a conversation grounded in hard-won experience rather than theory. Today's conversation is a refreshingly honest and deeply practical perspective for anyone working at the intersection of government, healthcare, and AI.  In this episode, they talk about: Federal health agencies are running some of the largest healthcare operations in the world, with the VA equivalent in size to a Fortune 5 company Data silos created by contract-by-contract procurement are the primary barrier to AI-ready infrastructure at federal agencies Federated data platforms allow data to stay in its own repositories while being discoverable, mappable, and usable across the organization Policy is often the biggest obstacle to data sharing, and changing it requires executive-level support and shared governance Technology is the third most important factor in transformation; policy and business understanding come first and second CGI improved NHS Spine performance tenfold while reducing infrastructure to a tenth of its original size, saving a million euros in annual expenses Improper payments across federal health programs run into billions of dollars annually and represent one of the highest-impact areas for AI-driven improvement AI for AI's sake is not the answer; start with the business problem and work backward to the data strategy Start small with two or three systems, demonstrate value, and build from there rather than attempting a massive all-at-once implementation A Little About Brad and James: Brad Schoffstall has wide-ranging experience, deep knowledge, and skills in information technology. He has led multiple digital transformation efforts. He has 37 years of experience with a diverse set of architectures, operating systems, languages, and technologies. His experience includes enterprise architecture, cloud migration, and hands-on development. He also has significant experience in business development and project management. He has implemented large, complex systems on platforms ranging from mainframes to Microservices. He has successfully performed many solution architecture and SDLC engagements that include characteristics like high-volume processing, DevOps, and automation. He demonstrates expertise in multiple service-based secure architectures utilizing multiple application and enterprise solution sets, e.g., Data Driven, Microservices, Cloud, etc. Dr. James Peake is an American politician and former lieutenant general who served as the sixth Secretary of Veterans Affairs from 2007 to 2009. In 2004, he retired from a 38-year United States Army career, having served as the 40th Surgeon General of the United States Army. After retiring from the Army, Peake served as Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of Project Hope,[4][5] a non-profit international health foundation operating in more than 30 countries. While at Project HOPE, he helped to orchestrate the use of civilian volunteers aboard the Navy Hospital Ship Mercy as it responded to the tsunami disaster in Indonesia and also as part of the Hurricane Katrina response aboard the Hospital Ship Comfort. Just before he was nominated Secretary of Veterans Affairs, Peake served as Chief Medical Officer and Chief Executive Officer for QTC, one of the largest private providers of government-outsourced occupational health and disability examination services in the nation. 

From inside a federal detention facility, Samuel Bateman maintained sufficient control over his followers that three women risked life sentences to execute his directives — communicated through a shared electronic tablet. That detail anchors the behavioral analysis of a case where the mechanisms of coercive control operated across physical separation, institutional confinement, and the threat of decades-long sentences for the people carrying out his instructions.Robin Dreeke, retired chief of the FBI's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott examine the operational playbook Bateman employed to construct his FLDS offshoot in the Short Creek community on the Utah-Arizona border. Bateman — homeless and without resources — entered a community still destabilized by Warren Jeffs' imprisonment. He appropriated Jeffs' prophetic authority by claiming Jeffs communicated through him. His requirement of public confessions functioned as a compliance mechanism: each confession created psychological investment that made departure increasingly costly. His insistence on being filmed reflected identity construction — the need for an external audience to validate the role he'd assigned himself. Law enforcement questioned him on two separate occasions and did not pursue charges.Christine Marie was inside Bateman's world with a camera for an extended period. She and her husband had relocated to Short Creek to document the community's recovery from the Jeffs era. Bateman identified their presence as an opportunity and granted access. Christine had previously experienced coercive control under another self-styled religious leader and recognized Bateman's behavioral patterns from firsthand experience. She understood what performance of trust was required to maintain access and preserve the evidentiary record she was building.In her first extended interview, Christine addresses the operational and psychological cost of sustained embedded access — the process of earning trust within a paranoid community, the daily discipline of entering an environment where documented harm was occurring, and the internal transition from documentary filmmaker to active participant in building the evidentiary foundation that contributed to Bateman's fifty-year federal sentence.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

It was a little more than a year ago when Interior Secretary Doug Burgum asked  the public to help him identify interpretive materials in the National Park System that disparaged Americans past or living or which contained content that detracts from viewpoints of scenic grandeur. Well, it appears that the public didn't share his concerns. Recent Freedom of Information Act requests have turned up nearly 36,000 comments in response to Secretary Burgum's mission "to restore Federal sites dedicated to history, including parks and museums, to solemn and uplifting public monuments that remind Americans of our extraordinary heritage, consistent progress toward becoming a more perfect Union, and unmatched record of advancing liberty, prosperity, and human flourishing." The folks at the Center for Western Priorities recently filtered through the nearly 36,000 comments that were received by Interior, and found that just 47 – that's right, only 47 comments – called for a sign to be removed or supported Burgum's request to tidy up history. Our guests today are Kate Groetzinger and Lilly Bock-Brownstein from the Center for Western Priorities, and they'll explain how they filtered those comments and what they found.

Lesley Groff told Congress that Jeffrey Epstein was a “monster” and a “master manipulator,” but insisted she did not know he was running a sex-trafficking operation while she worked as his longtime executive secretary. In her closed-door interview with the House Oversight Committee, Groff said she believes Epstein's victims, but argued that Epstein hid his crimes from her because he had every reason to keep her in the dark and no leverage over her that would have made her stay silent. She maintained that if she had known girls and young women were being abused through the massage appointments and travel logistics she helped arrange, she would not have ignored it. Groff also said she has faced harassment and death threats since Epstein's 2019 arrest, presenting herself as someone who has been publicly blamed for crimes she claims she neither knew about nor participated in.The problem for Groff is that her denial sits against the scale of her role in Epstein's daily operation. She worked for him for more than 18 years, was described by Epstein as an “extension of my brain,” scheduled his meetings, booked his frequent massages, arranged travel for women connected to him, and was listed as a potential co-conspirator in the 2007 non-prosecution agreement. Federal prosecutors previously said numerous victims identified her as responsible for scheduling massages during which they were abused, and survivor Marina Lacerda has described Groff as a conduit to Epstein, saying anything involving Epstein had to go through her. Groff's testimony, then, amounted to a direct attempt to separate administrative involvement from criminal knowledge: she admitted she helped run the machinery around Epstein, but denied knowing what that machinery was being used for.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Longtime Epstein assistant paints late sex offender as master manipulator and denies knowing about his crimes | CNN Politics

Behind the walls of H.H. Holmes' "World's Fair Hotel" waited trap doors, gas chambers, and a basement of acid vats — and more than a century after the Murder Castle burned, something still lingers at 63rd and Wallace.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/HHHolmesHotelREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/57djvd7fFEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: It's one of the most infamous and macabre subjects of Chicago history – it even served as inspiration for TV's “American Horror Story: Hotel”. It's what has become known as “The Murder Castle” where serial killer H.H. Holmes committed his monstrous crimes. But even today, Holmes continues to terrify… in spectral form. (H.H. Holmes' Hellish Hotel And Lingering Haunting) *** A woman tries to save the soul of her daughter, believing her to be possessed… but her solution to drive out the demon was to murder her daughter using a holy crucifix. (Murder By Crucifix) *** What's worse than proclaiming yourself to be a supernatural being and starting your own cult? How about telling your followers you are God so you could do drugs and have sex with teenage girls? It's the disturbing true story of the cult called “The Group”. (Theodore Rinaldo – The Drug Cult Rapist) *** Shrunken heads – believe it or not, they are real. And some tribal peoples create them even today – from real human heads. But why do it at all? We'll look at the reality behind shrunken heads, the reason they are created… and even how they are created. (The History and How of Shrunken Heads) *** A terrifying series of paranormal activities invade a family's home in Wales. (The Swansea Entity) *** Tenome is a Japanese Urban Legend about a blind man who was robbed and murdered. His dying wish? To have eyes on his hands so he could see. (The Seeing Hands of Tenome) *** Unsolved mysteries are intriguing simply because they are unsolved. That's why we are so fascinated by stories of people disappearing without a trace. But one man's disappearance is so bizarre, so weird, that upon hearing the story you'll be scratching your head wondering what the heck you just heard.

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: November, 2021This episode of Weird Darkness moves from the haunted ground of H.H. Holmes' Chicago Murder Castle to a flesh-eating Japanese yokai, a millionaire's impossible vanishing at sea, an Oklahoma exorcism that ended in murder, a violent Welsh poltergeist, the real-world practice of shrinking human heads, and the Washington State drug cult led by a man who claimed to be God.It opens in Chicago's Englewood neighborhood, where Herman W. Mudgett — better known as H.H. Holmes, America's first serial killer and the inspiration for the Hotel Cortez in American Horror Story: Hotel — built his three-story "World's Fair Hotel" at 63rd and Wallace to prey on visitors to the 1893 Columbian Exposition. The building held sixty rooms riddled with trap doors, hidden staircases, gas chambers, and a basement furnished with a dissecting table and vats of acid and lime. Holmes confessed to 27 murders before his hanging in Philadelphia on May 7, 1896, though some historians put his victim count at 200 or more, and the strange deaths that followed his execution — a poisoned forensics expert, a suicidal prison superintendent, a priest beaten to death in his own churchyard — fed talk of a Holmes curse for decades. The site was never excavated, and employees at the Englewood post office built beside the old Castle property still report stacking chairs, a singing woman no one can find, and apparitions on the grass where the hotel once stood. Even Holmes' own descendant, Jeff Mudgett, author of Bloodstains and the figure behind the History Channel's American Ripper, walked out of that basement a changed man.From there the episode crosses to Japan and the legend of Tenome, a blind old man robbed and beaten to death in a field who returned as a vengeful yokai with eyes on the palms of his hands. First recorded in the Gazu Hyakki Yagyō, the creature hunts graveyards and open fields by scent, feeds on fresh human bones, and inspired the Pale Man of Pan's Labyrinth. The segment ends with the Kyoto tale of a young man who hid from the Tenome inside a locked temple chest — and was found afterward as an empty sack of skin, his bones sucked out through his flesh.Next comes the 1931 disappearance of Hisashi Fujimura, the Japanese-born silk millionaire who vanished from the Red Star liner Belgenland somewhere between Halifax and New York on the night of August 13. Fujimura had told a friend he feared gamblers would follow him aboard, his mistress Mary Reissner was registered under a false name as a governess, and his bank account had dropped from over $333,000 to $2.65 in five months. The ship's captain saw him talking to an unseen person at 2:45 a.m.; by morning his bed was unslept-in and his seven-year-old daughter was alone in the stateroom. Federal investigators closed the case without answers, a dust-free wallet bearing his name later surfaced in an empty Manhattan flat, and Fujimura was declared legally dead in 1938 — leaving murder, suicide, accident, and a staged escape all equally possible.The darkness turns domestic with the 2016 killing of 33-year-old Geneva Gomez in Oklahoma City, beaten to death by her own mother, Juanita Gomez, who claimed she was performing an exorcism to drive Satan from her daughter. Juanita punched Geneva repeatedly, forced a crucifix and religious medallion down her throat, then arranged the body in the shape of a cross with a wooden crucifix on her chest. A forensic psychologist concluded she was feigning incompetence, the insanity plea collapsed, and in January 2018 a jury needed only 20 minutes to convict her of first-degree murder and recommend life without parole.The episode then travels to Rhondda Street in Swansea, Wales, where in 1965 Marcia and David Howells, their two small children, and Marcia's grandmother endured a poltergeist that began with choking sensations in the night and escalated to bottles flying off mantelpieces, rooms ransacked in minutes, the gas stove turning itself on, and a double bed found hurled on top of the baby's empty cot behind a barred door. Police, reporters, and a priest all came to the little house; the only room ever left untouched was the grandmother's. The family finally moved out, the activity stopped, and no tragedy in the home's history was ever found to explain it — leaving psychokinesis, spirit attachment, and Marcia's own verdict, a demon, on the table.From haunted houses the show turns to a practice that is grimly real: the shrunken heads, or tsantsas, of the Jivaro people of northern Peru and southern Ecuador. Warriors severed the heads of slain enemies in the belief that shrinking them enslaved the victim's vengeful spirit, then boiled the skin free of the skull, packed it with hot stones and sand, blackened it with charcoal ash, and sewed the lips shut to seal the spirit inside — reducing a human head to a third of its size. Genu

In 1966, the United States declared victory over a destructive flesh-eating parasite that devastated livestock. The New World Screwworm is a fly whose larvae burrow into the living flesh of mammals. It was eradicated after a long campaign that involved releasing millions of sterile flies over infested areas.Last week, that fly came back.The U.S. Department of Agriculture confirmed five cases of larvae contamination in Texas and New Mexico – the first detections in decades. Federal officials say the food supply is safe, but the cattle industry is on high alert. The American cattle supply is already at a 75-year low. Beef prices are high. And a screwworm outbreak could make it worse.Outside farms and ranches, the tick population is growing and spreading in new parts of the country.

The Biden border crisis isn't just about crime, drugs, and national security anymore. Now America's ranchers, farmers, pet owners, and even families are facing a new threat: the flesh-eating New World screwworm. After years of an open southern border and unchecked migration from regions where this parasite remains a serious problem, the New World screwworm has now been confirmed inside the United States. The parasite burrows into living tissue, literally eating its host alive. Federal officials are scrambling to contain the outbreak as cases emerge in Texas and New Mexico. But here's where the story gets even more interesting. The same drug the media, Big Pharma, and the political left spent years demonizing, ivermectin, is now being used as a weapon against the screwworm. In fact, federal authorities have authorized ivermectin-based treatments to help prevent and combat New World screwworm infestations in livestock. So will the people who mocked ivermectin finally admit they were wrong? Or will politics continue to trump science? And that's not all. A new observational study examining cancer patients using ivermectin and mebendazole reported an 84% clinical benefit rate, fueling even more questions about whether these inexpensive drugs have far more potential than we've been led to believe. While more research is needed, the findings are impossible to ignore. Plus, protect yourself and your family with emergency medical kits and wellness products from TWC Health.

Today on Stinchfield, we expose the growing screwworm threat, the border policies that helped create the conditions for it to reach America, and why ivermectin may be one of the most unfairly attacked drugs in modern history.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Aaron Spencer was charged with murder. A judge threw it out after finding “egregious” conduct by the detective who investigated him. Now Spencer is on track to become the sheriff of the county that charged him. And the questions that ruling raised go far beyond one case.This is a three-part conversation with an outside legal analyst covering every angle.First, the ruling. Judge Wilson's 19-page order documented eleven failures by the lead detective — a dashcam pulled without documentation, its SD card viewed on a personal laptop, the camera stored in a drawer for a year, the card lost entirely. Wilson rejected the state's negligence argument, found bad faith, and wrote that the conduct gave “the appearance of a coverup.” He used the most extreme remedy available.Second, the sheriff question. Spencer won the Republican primary by double digits and is favored in the general. He'll walk into the department that investigated him, work alongside the prosecutor who charged him, and oversee officers who were there through everything Wilson described. He campaigned on fixing a system that failed his daughter. He has no law enforcement background.Third, the bigger picture. Evidence problems in Lonoke County go back more than a decade. An unarmed seventeen-year-old killed with a body camera off. A jail detainee harmed and retaliated against. Federal cases where video was withheld. The same department, the same sheriff, the same pattern. The Spencer dismissal may be the moment the pattern became undeniable.An outside legal analyst breaks down who faces exposure, what accountability mechanisms exist, and what signals to watch for as the people at the center of this scramble to contain the fallout.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

He was called the most dangerous man in Vermont. The governor said it on television. The truth is more boring and more alarming. Daniel Banyai is a former protection contractor and a Seventh-day Adventist who built a firearms training school called Slate Ridge in West Pawlet. He did it by the book. Federal firearms license. Explosives permits. Zoning. A school classification the town had handed out for 200 years. He welcomed anyone who'd show up and shoot straight. Then it came apart. Neighbors who'd missed their window found a clause and reopened it. The town pulled the permit it had already granted. He fought to the state Supreme Court and lost. They demolished the buildings while he was locked up and made sure the materials couldn't be reused. We talk about the year inside. Isolation. The shot caller. Getting beaten during the arrest that became a felony. We argue restrictions, religion, and a two-tiered system he says protects some and not others. The throughline is simple. Weaponized zoning can erase anyone. He happened to pick guns. Since we recorded, a jury acquitted him of the assault charge in forty minutes. His words after: the system did not fail him here.  Today's Sponsors: Black Rifle Coffee: https://www.blackriflecoffee.com David: David is offering our listeners a special deal: buy 4 cartons and get the 5th free when you go to https://www.davidprotein.com/CLEAREDHOT
