This week is the anniversary of two events which define the State in the U.S., both in the past and today. In 1969, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Chicago Police Dept. assassinated Black Panther leader Fred Hampton and his associate Mark Clark while they slept in Hampton's home. Hampton had been an up and coming, inspiring, leader in the Chicago community and worked to build coalition with a variety of groups in the area. The FBI had viewed Hampton as a potential “messiah,” who needed to be “neutralized.” When the COINTELPRO program was exposed, it was clear that the FBI had worked to eliminate domestic enemies like Hampton and the Black Panther Party. In 1980, the rape and murder of four Catholic missionary nuns by U.S. backed death squads sparked international outrage and criticism of President Carter's support for the government in El Salvador. Carter initially suspended aid to the regime, he later reinstated it, and President Reagan continued this support. Later in the 1990s, when documents were declassified revealing the extent to which the U.S. support torture and terror campaigns, former NJ congressman Robert Torricelli said that it was "now clear that while the Reagan Administration was certifying human rights progress in El Salvador they knew the terrible truth that the Salvadoran military was engaged in a widespread campaign of terror and torture".Despite a history of these events, the movement continues. As Hampton said, "You can jail a revolutionary, but you can't jail the revolution."In 2025, the Trump administration is sending ICE to terrorize undocumented people in communities across the country, designating dissidents as "terrorists" and provoking war with Venezuela. We also just recently witnessed "blowback" from Salvadoran style death squads in Afghanistan with the shooting of national guard solders in Washington D.C. Here's an encore of our episode from 2020 discussing the terrible events. Much to learn from this history. ---------------------------

Sean Combs, the hip-hop mogul known as Diddy or Puff Daddy, continues to dominate headlines as he serves his 50-month prison sentence following his federal conviction. On October 3rd, 2025, Combs was sentenced to approximately four years in prison after being found guilty on two counts of transporting women across state lines for prostitution. According to Federal Bureau of Prisons records, his official release date is set for May 8th, 2028.The split verdict surprised many observers. Combs was acquitted on the most serious charges including sex trafficking, racketeering, and conspiracy, yet convicted on the prostitution-related counts. The trial featured months of disturbing testimony and viral evidence, including surveillance footage showing Combs assaulting his ex-partner Cassie Ventura. Legal experts have debated what the divided verdict reveals about the justice system in 2025, questioning whether jurors viewed psychological coercion as real violence or whether celebrity status influenced the outcome.Since his arrest in September 2024, Combs has been detained at Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center. Recent documents obtained by CBS News reveal details of his prison life. He faced disciplinary action for allegedly violating rules against three-person phone calls. Combs has been assigned to work in the chapel and is currently enrolled in a drug treatment program while serving his sentence.The music mogul's legal team filed a notice of appeal in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, with details of the appeal to be submitted at a later date. Combs has already served approximately one year behind bars, which means he could potentially be released in less than three years after receiving credit for time served.Speculation emerged in October that President Donald Trump might commute Combs' sentence after reports claimed the president was deliberating the matter. However, a White House spokesperson firmly denied these claims on October 21st, stating there is zero truth to the story. Trump had previously acknowledged that Combs requested a pardon, though the president expressed reservations given Combs' past criticism of him.The case has captivated public attention throughout 2025, sparking broader conversations about accountability, power, and celebrity in the American justice system. As Combs continues his prison term, his legal team pursues appeals while the public remains divided on the verdict's implications.Thank you for tuning in to this update.

Operation Arctic Frost | Von Peter Frey

Weiteres zu den Lawfare-Operationen von Teilen des Tiefen Staates gegen Donald Trump.Ein Standpunkt von Peter Frey.Die großangelegte Intrige, bekannt als Russiagate, mit der man Trumps Wahl zum US-Präsidenten 2016 zu verhindern suchte, ging nachfolgend in einer unter dem Codenamen Crossfire Hurricane bekannt gewordenen Operation auf. Die Intrige wurde durch das FBI ausgerollt — einer dem US-Präsidenten unterstehenden, damals in ihrer Führung jedoch den US-Demokraten von Obama und Clinton zuarbeitenden Bundesbehörde. Hierbei spielten sich FBI und einflussreiche Richter wie Anwälte die Bälle zu. Doch Crossfire Hurricane war nicht das Ende, Arctic Frost sollte folgen.Vorab zum Verständnis: Lawfare steht für juristische Kriegsführung gegen als solche ausgemachte politische Gegner. Lawfare verlässt den Boden der Demokratie, bedient sich aber gern der Institutionen und Gesetze demokratischer Gesellschaften. Daher dürfte auch klar sein, dass Lawfare kein reines Phänomen der US-amerikanischen Gesellschaft, sondern ein Standardwerkzeug in Fassadendemokratien, wie auch der in Deutschland, beschreibt.James Boasberg und Arctic FrostGegen James Boasberg wurde vom texanischen republikanischen US-Abgeordneten Brandon Gill am 4. November 2025 ein Amtsenthebungsverfahren angestrengt:„Unter Missachtung seiner Verantwortung, die Macht seines Amtes in verfassungsmäßiger Weise auszuüben, erteilte Oberrichter Boasberg dem Sonderermittler John L. Smith die Genehmigung, leichtfertige Geheimhaltungsanordnungen zur Förderung des Projekts des Federal Bureau of Investigation [FBI] mit dem Codenamen ARCTIC FROST zu erlassen.“ (a1, 1)James Boasberg ist der Vorsitzende Richter des Bundesbezirksgerichts in Washington, D.C. Laut Gill soll er die Justiz auf illegale Art und Weise gegen Kritiker der US-Regierung unter Joe Biden eingesetzt haben. Unter dem Schirm einer FBI-Operation namens Arctic Frost unterzeichnete Boasberg Anordnungen zur geheimen Überwachung von zehn US-Senatoren und einem Abgeordneten. Dazu wurde Druck auf die zwei großen Mobilfunkanbieter Verizon und AT&T ausgeübt. Einerseits zur Herausgabe von Telefondaten der Senatoren, andererseits dies gegenüber den Betroffenen geheim zu halten (2). Die seit Trumps Amtseinführung neu eingesetzte FBI-Führung bestätigte, dass inzwischen mindestens acht dieser Telefonprotokolle beschlagnahmt worden seien (3). Wie weiter unten noch besprochen wird, ist das nicht alles.Boasberg wurde noch unter der Obama-Regierung zum Bundesrichter, zusätzlich zum Richter für die Überwachung von Aktivitäten der US-Auslandsgeheimdienste am United States Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) berufen. Außerdem fungierte Boasberg von 2020 bis 2025 als Vorsitzender Richter am Alien Terrorist Removal Court (4).Noch einmal zur Rolle des FISC: Es handelt sich beim FISC um ein spezialisiertes Bundesgericht in Washington, D.C., das 1978 vom Kongress mit Verabschiedung des Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) eingerichtet wurde. Die Hauptaufgabe des FISC besteht darin, Anträge der Regierung auf Genehmigung verschiedener Mittel zur Beschaffung ausländischer Geheimdienstinformationen zu prüfen, insbesondere wenn diese in den Vereinigten Staaten durchgeführt werden oder sich anderweitig gegen US-Bürger richten. Anders ausgedrückt kann das FISC die Geheimdienste für Operationen ermächtigen, welche tief in die verfassungsmäßigen Rechte der Bürger eingreifen....https://apolut.net/operation-arctic-frost-von-peter-frey/ Hosted on Acast.

In this week's episode of China Insider, Miles Yu goes solo. First, he examines Tesla's announcement that it will eliminate all China-sourced components from vehicles manufactured in the United States within the next two years. This marks a monumental shift in the company's supply chain and signals a broader decoupling of key US industries from longstanding Chinese chokeholds and security vulnerabilities. Second, Miles revisits the 2015 purchase of the US insurance firm Wright USA, which specializes in liability insurance for Central Intelligence Agency and Federal Bureau of Investigations personnel, by the Chinese conglomerate Fosun Group. He explains why the subsequent Committee on Foreign Investment in the US–mandated resale of the company back to Starr Companies, controlled by China's longtime friend Maurice “Hank” Greenberg and his AIG network, may be the more consequential part of the story. Last, Miles analyzes the China factor in the ongoing US–Venezuela standoff. He discusses how the Maduro regime has advanced Beijing's strategic interests of manufacturing global strategic distractions for the US by fueling instability and chaos across Latin America—the region long referred to as the United States' own “backyard.” China Insider is a weekly podcast project from Hudson Institute's China Center, hosted by China Center Director and Senior Fellow, Dr. Miles Yu, who provides weekly news that mainstream American outlets often miss, as well as in-depth commentary and analysis on the China challenge and the free world's future.

A Clean Hell opens the doors of America's most secretive prison and lets the reader step into the cell to experience all the horrors the Federal Bureau of Prisons tries to keep hidden underground. The federal supermax ADX Florence is the most secure facility in the United States, a dungeon of isolation, sensory deprivation, and psychological disintegration. Here, cruelty isn't accidental; it's the design. Built in 1995, the “Alcatraz of the Rockies” was made to cage the so-called worst of the worst: bombers, gang leaders, political enemies, and anyone the government deems too rebellious, too inconvenient, or too visible. Among them was antifascist prisoner Eric King, targeted for his politics, brutally tortured by the Bureau of Prisons, and ultimately entombed at ADX after beating a politically motivated federal prosecution. A Clean Hell: Anarchy and Abolition in America's Most Notorious Dungeon (PM Press, 2025) is a searing firsthand account from inside the most repressive prison in the United States, a place built not for rehabilitation but for disappearance. It tells the story of Eric's decade behind bars: the years of surveillance and retaliation, the years locked in solitary confinement, the reality of being known as a “race traitor,” and the daily acts of resistance that kept him—and others—alive. More than just a firsthand survival story and exposé, this is a blistering indictment of the carceral state and the sanitized violence it tries to hide. A Clean Hell is a crucial document of solidarity and struggle inside the belly of the beast and required reading for anyone concerned with mass incarceration, political repression, or the inhumane architecture of the US prison system. Guest: Eric King is an anarchist who was imprisoned in 2014 for acts of solidarity with the Ferguson, Missouri, uprising. During his time in prison, which included almost two years in Federal Supermax, or ADX, Eric coedited the political prisoner anthology, Rattling the Cages: Oral Histories of North American Political Prisoners, published by AK Press, and wrote many other essays about his experiences in prison. In addition to his writing, Eric is also an activist, antifascist, and loving father and husband.

Elizabeth Stein, a survivor of the Jeffrey Epstein-Ghislaine Maxwell trafficking network, has been highly critical of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), insisting that the agency has so far failed survivors by retaining key documents and failing to provide full transparency into Epstein's crimes. In public appearances and advocacy settings, she has demanded the release of all records in the FBI's possession, arguing that only full disclosure can allow survivors to heal and ensure that those in power are held accountable.Stein has stated that the injustice she and other survivors suffered cannot be resolved unless the FBI and other law-enforcement bodies stop shielding perpetrators and start centering victims. She emphasizes that the case is not a matter of politics but of crime, and she calls on the FBI to do more than just process evidence—to actively uncover how Epstein's network operated, how it was enabled, and who else benefitted from it.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Here's what I predicted would happen back in Feb. 2025:The latest hype surrounding the supposed "Jeffrey Epstein client list" is yet another round of recycled speculation with little substantive backing. While reports claim that U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi is reviewing documents that may include names of high-profile individuals, the idea of a singular, definitive "client list" has always been more of a conspiracy-fueled fantasy than a verified reality. Past unsealed documents have revealed connections between Epstein and well-known figures, but nothing has ever been done. The notion that some secret ledger exists, ready to blow open a vast network of elite predators, is more wishful thinking than hard fact. If such a list existed, why hasn't it surfaced in the years of legal battles, document dumps, and investigative reporting?More likely, this "impending release" is another instance of strategic leaks, sensationalism, and political maneuvering meant to stoke public outrage without delivering meaningful justice. Previous Epstein-related releases have been riddled with redactions, context-free name-dropping, and vague associations that fuel more speculation than they resolve. The real issue isn't whether a list exists—it's whether those with actual influence will ever face real consequences. Until we see ironclad evidence, take any breathless claims about a damning "client list" with the skepticism they deserve.Here's what ended up happening:In early 2025, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi publicly suggested that a definitive “Epstein client list” was under review, saying it was “sitting on my desk” and hinting that names of powerful people might be revealed. Over the following months, pressure mounted for the release of a large trove of documents connected to Epstein's sex-trafficking network and possible co-conspirators. But then on July 7, 2025 a two-page memo jointly issued by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) concluded that “no credible evidence” was found that Epstein maintained a list of high-profile clients or that he engaged in a blackmail scheme against prominent individuals. The memo also reiterated that Epstein died by suicide, rejecting murder theories. At the same time the DOJ stated no further disclosure of records would be appropriate or warranted.Despite that official determination, the reaction was volatile. Many supporters of the claim that a hidden list existed—especially on the right—felt betrayed and accused the administration of a cover-up. At the same time victims, researchers and journalists pointed to the fact that many Epstein-related documents remain sealed or heavily redacted, meaning the public still lacks full transparency into the network he operated. The DOJ's decision not to push further investigations into uncharged third parties fed frustration. Further revelations complicated the matter: a transcript released in August 2025 showed that convicted associate Ghislaine Maxwell told federal officials she was unaware of any such list.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

pWotD Episode 3117: Jeffrey Epstein Welcome to popular Wiki of the Day, spotlighting Wikipedia's most visited pages, giving you a peek into what the world is curious about today.With 183,957 views on Thursday, 13 November 2025 our article of the day is Jeffrey Epstein.Jeffrey Edward Epstein (January 20, 1953 – August 10, 2019) was an American financier and child sex offender. Born and raised in New York City, Epstein began his professional career as a teacher at the Dalton School. After his dismissal from the school in 1976, he entered the banking and finance sector, working at Bear Stearns in various roles before starting his own firm. Epstein cultivated an elite social circle and procured many women and children whom he and his associates sexually abused.In 2005, police in Palm Beach, Florida, began investigating Epstein after a parent reported that he had sexually abused her 14-year-old daughter. Federal officials identified 36 girls, some as young as 14 years old, whom Epstein had allegedly sexually abused. Epstein pleaded guilty and was convicted in 2008 by a Florida state court of procuring a child for prostitution and of soliciting a prostitute. He was convicted of only these two crimes as part of a controversial plea deal agreed by the US Department of Justice's Alex Acosta, and served almost 13 months in custody but with extensive work release.Epstein was arrested again on July 6, 2019, on federal charges for the sex trafficking of minors in Florida and New York. He died in his jail cell on August 10, 2019. The medical examiner ruled that his death was a suicide by hanging. Epstein's lawyers have disputed the ruling, and there has been significant public skepticism about the true cause of his death, resulting in numerous conspiracy theories. In July 2025, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) released CCTV footage to support the conclusion that Epstein died by suicide in his jail cell. When the Department of Justice released the footage, approximately 2 minutes and 53 seconds of it was missing, and the video was found to have been modified despite the FBI's claim that it was raw.Since Epstein's death precluded the possibility of pursuing criminal charges against him, a judge dismissed all criminal charges on August 29, 2019. Epstein had a decades-long association with the British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell, who recruited young girls for him, leading to her 2021 conviction on US federal charges of sex trafficking and conspiracy for helping him procure girls, including a 14-year-old, for child sexual abuse and prostitution.According to The New York Times, Epstein made much of his fortune by providing tax and estate services to billionaires. He was also a renowned social networker, whose vast network included business people, royalty, politicians and academics. His friendships with public figures including Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, Donald Trump and Bill Clinton have attracted significant controversy. Documents released by the House Democratic Caucus in September 2025 show that he maintained connections with Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, Bill Gates, and Steve Bannon.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 02:22 UTC on Friday, 14 November 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Jeffrey Epstein on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Justin.

Tonight, we dig into two explosive but under-covered stories circling the fringes of the mainstream narrative. First, the newly released emails from Jeffrey Epstein, including one in which he claims Donald Trump “knew about the girls” and “spent hours at my house with a victim,” raise fresh questions about what powerful people may have known and when. At the same time, the man now heading the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Kash Patel, is under fire, not just for how his office is handling the Epstein files, but for his personal entanglement with the second story. That second story is the lawsuit filed by his girlfriend, Alexis Wilkins, who is suing prominent podcasters and influencers for defamation after they accused her of being a foreign-intelligence honeypot sent to manipulate Patel. Put these threads together and you're looking at a potent mix of sex-trafficking scandal, high-level intelligence intrigue, and media warfare.

Not only did we talk about Burrows' dystopian world, we also discussed the education system today and how it is and isn't serving our children. Freefalling by J. L. Burrows Under the Dome, peace reigns ... forcefully. One hundred and eighty years in the future, the U.S. government eradicates warfare and violence. Serenity should feel safe, but she doesn't. Serenity Knowles knows two things for certain. Finishing her government assigned community service as a teacher is mandatory in order to start her adult life. And stopping those in power from reconditioning two of her favorite students will ruin her chances at a future and a life. Everything she thought she once knew to be true, suddenly is now in question after her typically peaceful girls fight in plain view of everyone at school. The Federal Bureau of Acceptance storms in and collects them both for reconditioning—chemical brainwashing. With no one to help, Serenity is driven into a wild rescue and escape plan. The girls can't be made into shadow children, brainwashed and limited to a menial future. All that stands between the overreaching government and her girls is Serenity's budding faith, a furry beast companion, her modified illegal AI, and a ragtag group of men and women set against the use of cutting-edge technology and genetically modified bio-weapons on citizens under the Dome. If any of them get caught, they will be reconditioned. If they don't move fast enough, the girls will be lost. If she doesn't become a hero, any hope of a real future will be forfeit.

Sean “Diddy” Combs — the man who once ruled hip-hop, fashion, and nightlife — now faces a very different kind of countdown: 921 days until freedom. Federal Bureau of Prisons records confirm Diddy's expected release date as May 8, 2028, following his 50-month sentence for charges of transportation to engage in prostitution. But the real story isn't about a date — it's about survival. In this Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski exclusive, we dive deep into what life behind bars really means for one of the most powerful figures in modern pop culture. What's a day like for a man who once lived in penthouses and private jets, now forced to wake up at 5 a.m. for head count? What happens when a man used to commanding everyone suddenly has no control — not even over his own meals? Tony breaks down the stark reality of Diddy's prison life — the monotony, the risk, the psychology — and explores the haunting list of famous figures who didn't make it out alive. From Epstein to Bulger to Hernandez, history is full of men who thought they were untouchable… until the bars closed behind them. This is not the story of a comeback. It's the story of a countdown.
