Localized journalism played a pivotal role in breaking through the silence and inertia that surrounded the Epstein investigation for years. National outlets often overlooked or downplayed the story, but local reporters—particularly in Florida—kept pushing. The Miami Herald's investigative series “Perversion of Justice” became a turning point, laying bare the sweetheart deal Epstein received and how officials swept his crimes under the rug. By digging into court records, interviewing survivors, and pressing local authorities, these journalists exposed the corruption and failures of law enforcement in a way that reverberated nationally.

Ralph answers some of your recent questions about the genocide in Gaza, how to jumpstart civic engagement, and more!Your feedback is very important. And the more detailed and factual it is, the better off the impact will be by your initiative and getting back to us. You have to be active in a program like this. Because we're not just talking to the choir here. We want the choir to sing back—in affirmation or dissent.Ralph NaderI was astonished…how disinterested the American people are in empowering themselves. That's the problem we have. The lack of civic motivation, the lack of saying, “Look, we've given our power to only 535 people in the Congress, and they've turned it against us on behalf of some 1,500 corporations. We're going to turn it around. We're the sovereign power.” As I've said a hundred times, the Constitution starts with “We the people,” not “We the Congress” or “We the corporations.” And the people don't seem to want to focus on that. If they had anyone in their neighborhood and community who were treating them the way Congress is treating them—as voters, as workers, as consumers, as parents, as children, as taxpayers—they would never allow it.Ralph NaderYou get more and more voters vulnerable to just what comes out of a politician's mouth. Remember, everything Trump has achieved politically has come out of his mouth—not out of his deeds, just out of his mouth. Repeatedly, unrebutted largely over the mass media, and faithfully relayed to the American people by a supine media which points out his mistakes once in a while, but it was too little, too late.Ralph NaderNews 9/26/25* This week, the campaign for Palestinian statehood notched major victories. According to the BBC, the United Kingdom, France, Canada, Australia and Portugal all announced on Sunday that they would recognize the state of Palestine. They are expected to be joined by a number of smaller states, including Belgium, Luxembourg, Malta, Andorra and San Marino. These countries, all traditionally close allies of the United States and Israel, join the 140 countries that already recognize the State of Palestine. A statement by Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese explains that this move is “part of a co-ordinated international effort to build new momentum for a two-state solution, starting with a ceasefire in Gaza and the release of the hostages.” These heads of state are pursuing this policy despite a thinly veiled threat from Congressional Republicans, a group of whom – including Senator Ted Cruz and Representative Elise Stefanik – sent a letter to President Macron and Prime Ministers Starmer, Carney and Albanese warning them of possible “punitive measures in response,” and urging them to “reconsider,” per the Guardian.* In more Palestine news, as the Global Sumud Flotilla draws near to the coast of Gaza, they are apparently under low-level attack. Al Jazeera reports the flotilla, “has reported explosions and communications jamming as drones hovered overhead.” In response, the United Nations has called for a probe, with UN Human Rights Office spokesperson Thameen Al-Kheetan stating, “There must be an independent, impartial and thorough investigation into the reported attacks and harassment by drones and other objects.” In response to this harassment, Reuters reports Italian Defence Minister Guido Crosetto expressed the “strongest condemnation” and ordered the “Italian multi-purpose frigate Fasan, previously sailing north of Crete, to head towards the flotilla ‘for possible rescue operations', focusing primarily on Italian citizens.” The strong response by the Italian government is likely related to the labor unrest the targeting of the flotilla has engendered within the country. ANSA, a leading Italian news outlet, reports the Unione Sindacale di Base or USB “would proclaim a wildcat general strike and protests in 100 Italian cities for Gaza after the success of Monday's stoppage and protests involving an estimated 500,000 people in 80 cities.” The union has organized these massive protests under the slogan “let's block everything.”* In more foreign policy news, following on the heels of the protests in Nepal, anti-corruption protestors took to the streets in the Philippines this week, Time reports. The acute cause of these protests was a recent audit which found widespread corruption in the country's flood control projects. The Philippines has invested around $9.5 billion on such projects since 2022, but these have been plagued by kickback schemes, resulting in shoddy work and even deaths. Even President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., aka “Bongbong,” sympathized with the protestors, saying “Do you blame them for going out into the streets? If I wasn't President, I might be out in the streets with them…Of course, they are enraged. Of course, they are angry. I'm angry. We should all be angry. Because what's happening is not right.” The potency of these protests is likely to grow as the Philippines was hit this week by Typhoon Ragasa, which is reported to have killed three Filipinos this week, per NBC.* For our final foreign policy update, just days after the dubiously-legal strikes that killed 11 Venezuelans on a boat the U.S. claims was being used to transport drugs, Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro sent a letter to American special envoy Richard Grenell, per CNN. In this letter, Maduro denies any involvement with narco-trafficking, calling the allegations “fake news, propagated through various media channels,” and calling for Trump to “promote peace through constructive dialogue and mutual understanding throughout the hemisphere.” Trump brushed off Maduro, saying “We'll see what happens with Venezuela,” perhaps implying a renewed attempt to remove the Venezuelan president. Since then, the U.S. has conducted more of these lethal strikes, with no conclusive proof of the victims' criminality. The U.S. government is offering a $50 million bounty for Maduro's arrest.* Moving northward, a disturbing story comes to us from Florida. The Miami Herald reports, “As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined.” Speaking to the paper, attorneys characterized entering the facility as entering “an alternate [immigration] system where the normal rules don't apply.” This story cites one case of a man “accidentally deported to Guatemala before a scheduled bond hearing,” similar to the Kilmar Abrego Garcia case, and a Cuban man supposedly transferred to a facility in California but who could not be located there. This kind of disappearing of migrants adds fuel to the fire of the worst suspicions about the administration's immigration policies. The Florida facility was forced to halt operations after a court ruling in August, but an appeals court has now overruled that ruling. The future of the site and its detainees remains uncertain.* In another instance of what appears to be a cover-up by the Trump administration, NPR reports the Department of Agriculture will “end a longstanding annual food insecurity survey.” In a statement, the USDA called the report “redundant, costly, politicized, and extraneous.” This removes another crucial data tool, following the discontinuation of the Bureau of Labor Statistics' jobs report Trump ended just weeks ago. The signature legislation of Trump's second term thus far, the One Big Beautiful Bill, expanded work requirements for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, which is estimated to cut food aid to 2.4 million Americans. That will surely add to the 47.4 million food insecure households recorded in 2023. Crystal FitzSimons, president of the Food Research and Action Center (FRAC), told NPR “The national food insecurity survey is a critical, reliable data source that shows how many families in America struggle to put food on the table…Without that data, we are flying blind.”* And in another assault on the regulatory state, the Supreme Court this week allowed Trump to keep Rebecca Slaughter – the last remaining Democrat on the Federal Trade Commission – out of her post for another three months. POLITICO reports the high court is reviewing a 90-year-old law which “limit[s] the president's power to fire…officials for political reasons.” According to this report, many expect the conservative majority on the court will rule that that law “unconstitutionally interferes with the president's ability to control the executive branch.” If so, Trump will be able to remove Slaughter permanently – along with any other remaining Democrats within the regulatory apparatus.* On the media front, ABC – and its parent company, Disney – have balked, reinstating Jimmy Kimmel's late night television program after abruptly suspending the show last week. Kimmel, in his return, clarified that “it was never my intention to make light of the murder of a young man,” but excoriated the ABC affiliates who took his show off the air, calling the move “un-American.” This from AP. Theories abound as to why exactly ABC and/or Disney walked back what seemed like a cancellation; these include a potential costly lawsuit due to wrongful termination of Kimmel's contract, as well as a coordinated boycott campaign targeting Disney's streaming service, Disney+. For his part, President Trump washed his hands of the fiasco, writing that Kimmel can “rot in his bad Ratings,” per New York Magazine.* In tech news, Axios reports the Trump administration has approved Grok, Elon Musk's AI chatbot, for official use by every government agency. This news comes via a press release from the General Services Administration. This release quotes Musk, who says “We look forward to continuing to work with President Trump and his team to rapidly deploy AI throughout the government for the benefit of the country.” This comes after an August 25th letter in which a coalition of over 30 consumer groups – such as Public Citizen, Consumer Federation of America, and the Center for AI and DigitalPolicy – urged the Office of Management and Budget, led by Russell Vought, to “take immediate action to block the deployment or procurement of Grok.” Among the concerns cited in this letter are Grok's penchant for generating “conspiratorial and inflammatory content, including accusations that South Africans were committing a ‘white genocide'...Expressing ‘skepticism' about historical consensus of the Holocaust death toll and espousing Holocaust denial talking points…[and] Referring to itself as ‘MechaHitler'.” It remains to be seen what, if any, next steps opponents can take to halt the incorporation of Grok into the daily functions of the federal government.* Finally, Adelita Grijalva has won the Arizona 7th congressional district special election in a landslide. According to preliminary reports, she swamped her Republican opponent Daniel Butierez by nearly 40 points, according to Newsweek. This is a substantially larger margin than that won by Kamala Harris in 2024, who won the district by 23 points, which itself was a 10-point decline from Joe Biden, who won the district by 33 points in 2020. Grijalva's ascension to the House will further winnow away the Republicans' razor-thin majority in that chamber, bringing the margin to 219-214. She could also prove to be the critical 218th vote in favor of releasing the Epstein files. Adelita is the daughter of Raúl Grijalva, who passed away earlier this year. The elder Grijalva was widely considered one of the most progressive House Democrats, being the first member of Congress to endorse Bernie Sanders in his 2016 campaign and the second to call for Joe Biden to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race. Hopefully, the new Representative Grijalva will fill those big shoes.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

Depuis maintenant plus d'un an, Cuba connaît des problèmes d'électricité récurrents, avec des coupures qui durent parfois plus de 15 heures par jour. Ces derniers mois, des provinces entières n'ont plus eu de courant pendant des semaines, la faute à des infrastructures vieillissantes, pour ne pas dire totalement défaillantes. L'embargo américain, mis en place depuis 1962, y est pour beaucoup, mais pas seulement. Exaspérés, des Cubains descendent dans les rues régulièrement pour dénoncer cette situation. Pour l'historien cubain Manuel Cueta Morua, ancien fonctionnaire et opposant depuis des décennies, c'est un signe du délabrement du régime de La Havane. C'est ce qu'il a raconté à Romain Lemaresquier qui l'a joint dans la capitale cubaine qu'il n'a jamais quittée malgré plusieurs passages en prison.   Donald Trump bafoue l'indépendance de la justice Aux États-Unis, James Comey, l'ancien patron du FBI, a été mis en examen pour fausses déclarations et entrave à la justice. Cela faisait des mois que Donald Trump voulait sa tête car il avait enquêté sur des soupçons d'ingérence russe lors de sa campagne en 2016.  Le président américain n'a pas hésité à faire pression sur la justice pour parvenir à ses fins, relève la presse américaine. Ainsi, Donald Trump «a bafoué la longue tradition qui veut que le ministère de la Justice se tienne à l'écart de la Maison Blanche (...) et résiste aux pressions politiques», écrit le New York Times. Une tradition qui remonte à l'après-Watergate. La sacro-sainte indépendance de la justice est «une règle démocratique fondamentale», insiste le quotidien new-yorkais. «Ce pare-feu, aussi imparfait soit-il, a été établi pour préserver l'idéal démocratique d'un pays où la justice est impartiale et où personne n'est au-dessus des lois», renchérit le Washington Post. Cette première qui marque une «extension du pouvoir présidentiel», «fait craindre de nouvelles poursuites judiciaires arbitraires lancées par Donald Trump contre ses ennemis», s'inquiète le New York Times. D'autant que le président est en train de remodeler le ministère de la Justice en nommant des gens sans expérience qui placent leur loyauté envers lui au-dessus du respect de l'indépendance de la justice, explique le Washington Post. «Huit mois après le début de son second mandat, Donald Trump a tenu sa promesse de faire de la vengeance un élément central de sa présidence», se désole le journal.   «Haïti a droit à la paix !» Laurent Saint-Cyr, le président du CPT, a alerté sur la situation en Haïti, hier (25 septembre 2025) à la tribune des Nations unies. Il a comparé son pays à un «Guernica contemporain (...) à 4 heures de vol de New York». Un «discours passionné», selon le Miami Herald. «Dans un contexte de crises mondiales qui font rage, d'apathie et de changements dans les priorités de l'aide étrangère américaine», Laurent Saint-Cyr «a appelé le monde à l'aide», écrit encore le journal, alors que le mandat de la Mission multinationale de sécurité expire jeudi 2 octobre 2025. Cette allocution était «totalement creuse», «indigne» même, estime, pour sa part, Radio Télé Métronome. «Laurent Saint-Cyr n'a mentionné aucune réalisation, si ce n'est l'augmentation du budget consacré à la sécurité», développe le média. Mais à quoi cela a-t-il servi ? Puisque «les gangs ont étendu leur emprise sur de nouveaux territoires». «18 mois après son arrivée à la tête du pays, à la tribune des Nations unies, le CPT a confessé son échec», juge Radio Télé Métronome.   L'inflation fait rage en Haïti Les prix ont augmenté de 31% en un an, nous apprend Le Nouvelliste, avec des hausses de prix particulièrement importantes en ce qui concerne les loyers, le gaz, l'essence et la nourriture. Pour une majorité de foyers, près de la moitié du budget sert à se nourrir, explique le journal. Et pour acheter à manger, beaucoup d'Haïtiens dépendent de leurs proches qui vivent à l'étranger. D'octobre à juin, 3,3 milliards de dollars ont été transférés. Des devises qui servent avant tout à financer les importations et qui quittent, donc, le pays. Ce flux pourrait se tarir, fait remarquer Le Nouvelliste, compte tenu des menaces qui pèsent sur la diaspora installée aux États-Unis, comme par exemple, l'idée de Donald Trump de faire payer un visa aux diplômés. Autre inquiétude : «L'incertitude entourant la migration et les choix politiques aux États-Unis (...) pourraient conduire à un ralentissement outre-Atlantique», analyse le journal.   «Les enfants musiciens de Ste Suzanne» Dans ce documentaire, le réalisateur Arnold Antonin raconte l'histoire des orphelins de Sainte-Suzanne, petite commune du nord-est d'Haïti. Cette quarantaine d'enfants recueillis dans un premier temps à Port-au-Prince par Kai Didi, ont été forcés de quitter la capitale à cause des violences, et se sont installés à Sainte-Suzanne où ils ont monté un orchestre. Lila Olkinuora s'est entretenue avec Arnold Antonin.   Le journal de la 1ère Au lendemain d'une nouvelle fusillade mortelle en Martinique, les médiateurs sociaux plaident pour leur retour rapide sur le terrain.

États-Unis : l'administration Trump fait un lien entre le paracétamol et l'autisme

Journal d'Haïti et des Amériques

Play Episode Listen Later Sep 24, 2025 30:00


En début de semaine, le président américain Donald Trump a vivement déconseillé les femmes enceintes de prendre du paracétamol, un antalgique largement utilisé et recommandé, assurant qu'il était «peut-être associé à un risque très accru d'autisme». Une affirmation qui n'est pas appuyée par les recherches. Mais ces propos sont suffisamment graves pour que l'Organisation mondiale de la santé prenne le soin de les démentir. Nous en parlons avec Marc Smyrl, maître de conférences en Sciences politiques à l'Université de Montpellier. Dans l'interview, Marc Smyrl revient d'abord sur la décision du président américain de modifier les recommandations nationales concernant le paracétamol et les vaccins, sans fondement scientifique avéré. Selon le politologue, cette orientation s'explique à la fois par l'entourage choisi par le président, en particulier son ministre de la Santé, sensible à ces théories complotistes, et par une dimension électoraliste : une partie importante de l'opinion publique est prête à croire à ces liens infondés. Le risque est donc que des calculs politiques l'emportent sur les données scientifiques. Marc Smyrl souligne aussi le danger d'une fragmentation du système de santé américain. Jusqu'ici, les recommandations du CDC servaient de référence commune aux 50 États et aux assureurs. Mais si chaque État ou compagnie d'assurance définit désormais ses propres règles, la cohérence nationale pourrait voler en éclats. Certains États comme le Massachusetts tentent de protéger l'accès aux vaccins, tandis que d'autres, comme la Floride, s'en éloignent rapidement. Enfin, l'expert replace cette crise dans un contexte historique : la méfiance vis-à-vis de la vaccination existe depuis longtemps aux États-Unis, avec notamment la possibilité pour les parents de refuser l'immunisation pour motifs religieux. Ce qui est inédit aujourd'hui, explique-t-il, c'est que le pouvoir fédéral cautionne et amplifie ces discours, ce qui donne une légitimité politique à une défiance ancienne. Le mouvement Maga, en quête d'électeurs, exploite cette méfiance vis-à-vis du gouvernement fédéral et des experts. Ce qui renforce la fracture entre la tradition scientifique des États-Unis en matière de vaccins et l'essor actuel d'un scepticisme hautement politisé.   La presse commente le retour de Jimmy Kimmel Live ! C'était l'événement médiatique aux États-Unis hier (23 septembre 2025). L'émission de Jimmy Kimmel avait été suspendue la semaine dernière après des propos de l'animateur accusant le mouvement MAGA de récupérer politiquement l'assassinat de l'influenceur ultra-conservateur Charlie Kirk. La suspension a provoqué un tollé et déclenché de vifs débats sur les pressions exercées par l'administration Trump sur les médias. Hier soir, le public de l'émission a accueilli Jimmy Kimmel par des « standing ovations ». C'était un retour chargé d'émotion, écrit le Washington Post. Le site The Daily Beast décrit un Jimmy Kimmel incapable de retenir ses larmes, tout en refusant de s'incliner devant Donald Trump. La voix tremblante, Jimmy Kimmel a expliqué qu'il n'a jamais eu l'intention de tourner en dérision le meurtre d'un jeune homme. Mais l'humoriste n'a pas hésité à adresser de vives critiques au président Donald Trump et au régulateur gouvernemental qui avait laissé entendre que l'administration pourrait sanctionner ABC à cause de ses remarques. La presse retient surtout cette phrase prononcée par Jimmy Kimmel : « Menacer de faire taire un humoriste que le président n'apprécie pas est anti-américain ». Et l'animateur de conclure : « Cette émission n'a pas d'importance, ce qui compte, c'est que nous vivions dans un pays qui nous permet d'avoir une émission comme celle-ci. » Le journal canadien La Presse a salué pour sa part une « défense vibrante de la liberté d'expression ». Le quotidien souligne que la suspension de l'émission avait même suscité un malaise jusque dans le camp conservateur. Pour la première fois, des voix influentes de droite se sont publiquement opposées à Donald Trump, écrit le journal. En fin de compte, poursuit La Presse, cette présidence jusque-là inébranlable face aux crises politiques et économiques a trouvé son premier véritable point faible dans… la suspension d'un humoriste. Et le journal conclut : « L'histoire se souviendra que le premier coup dur de cette présidence clownesque est venu d'un comique. On ne dira jamais assez la nécessité des bouffons du roi. »  À lire aussiPour son retour à la télévision, Jimmy Kimmel fustige l'administration Trump, jugée anti-américaine   Des enfants tués dans une attaque de drones en Haïti Au moins huit enfants ont été tués le week-end dernier à Port-au-Prince lors d'une attaque menée par des drones explosifs utilisés par la police haïtienne. C'est un article du Miami Herald, repris par les principaux médias haïtiens. Parmi les victimes, figure une fillette de 4 ans, Merika Saint-Fort Charles, qui jouait dehors avec d'autres enfants quand l'explosion a retenti. Sa mère et sa grand-mère ont raconté cette scène tragique au quotidien de Miami. Selon le Réseau national de défense des droits humains (RNDDH), cité par le journal, le drone visait une fête organisée par un chef de gang local, mais il a touché de nombreux civils. Ce n'est pas la première fois que l'usage de drones par les forces de sécurité haïtiennes entraîne des victimes civiles. Au début du mois déjà, une frappe similaire avait causé la mort de onze personnes. Pour Pierre Espérance, directeur du RNDDH, ces drames illustrent l'absence de coordination et d'encadrement dans l'utilisation de ces armes, autorisées cette année par le Premier ministre Alix Didier Fils-Aimé. Le Miami Herald souligne que l'incident a suscité une vive indignation sur les réseaux sociaux, alimentant le sentiment d'abandon des familles, qui dénoncent l'impunité des gangs et l'inaction des autorités.   Journal de la 1ère Le président de la Collectivité Territoriale de Guyane rencontrera le président de la République lundi prochain (29 septembre 2025).

Journalist Michael Tracey joins The Winston Marshall Show for an uncompromising deep-dive into the murky world of Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and the web of conspiracies surrounding their crimes.Tracey separates fact from fiction — breaking down Epstein's 2008 plea deal, the failures of federal prosecutors, and the dubious credibility of key accusers like Virginia Giuffre. He exposes how much of the “Epstein mythology” has been built on shaky claims, media sensationalism, and opportunistic lawyers, while real questions remain about Epstein's finances, intelligence links, and the powerful figures in his orbit.They discuss Prince Andrew, Alan Dershowitz, the infamous “Little Black Book,” and the Miami Herald investigation that reignited the scandal. Tracey also examines the suspicious circumstances of Giuffre's recent death, her fortune from settlements, and the ongoing disputes over her estate.All this — Epstein's crimes, Maxwell's role, the credibility crisis of accusers, media distortion, and the conspiracies that refuse to die…-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------To see more exclusive content and interviews consider subscribing to my substack here: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA:Substack: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/X: https://twitter.com/mrwinmarshallInsta: https://www.instagram.com/winstonmarshallLinktree: https://linktr.ee/winstonmarshall----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Chapters 00:00 Michael Tracy's Role and Epstein's Legal Plea04:51 Government Designated Victims and Legal Challenges09:17 Prince Andrew and Virginia Roberts Giuffre's Claims 10:13 The Credibility of Virginia Roberts Giuffre18:15 Media, Interviews, and Public Perception21:02 Giuffre's Death and Financial Settlements 26:47 The Questions Around Giuffre's Death 29:39 Epstein's Crimes and Victim Testimonies39:21 The “Little Black Book” and Its Impact 44:50 Epstein's Death and Conspiracy Theories46:00 Epstein's Property Portfolio and Associations46:21 Steve Bannon and Epstein's Interviews1:00:45 Epstein's Business Activities and Ghislaine Maxwell's Testimony1:11:08 Epstein's Financial Dealings and Clientele1:18:24 Trump's Relationship with Epstein and Media Coverage1:21:54 Epstein's Wealth and Assets1:24:18 Epstein's International Business and Multiple Passports1:38:13 Media Coverage and Public Perception Hosted on Acast.

Are you ready to unlock the secrets to boosting your confidence and motivation as a woman?  In this empowering episode, Maraya Brown and Margaret Lynch Raniere dive deep into the fascinating world of female hormonal health and the power of tapping to transform self-doubt into confidence. Margaret shares her expert insights into how hormonal cycles uniquely impact women's energy, stress responses, and motivation, explaining how stress often gets misinterpreted as a personal flaw rather than a natural response. She reveals the critical differences in how men and women handle stress, with women more prone to rumination and self-criticism. This episode is a must-listen for women who want to understand the science behind their motivation and learn powerful tools to unlock their full potential.   In this episode: Chronic stress can affect women more intensely by elevating cortisol, affecting estrogen and progesterone, and leading to increased self-criticism. EFT is a powerful tool for reducing stress, managing emotions, and enhancing self-compassion, helping women turn their fight-or-flight response off. Self-compassion and oxytocin play essential roles in women's stress management, contrasting with how men handle stress via testosterone. Women carry unique societal pressures that influence confidence and motivation, requiring personalized strategies for empowerment. About the Guest: Margaret Lynch Raniere earned a Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering from Worcester Polytechnic Institute. She has been featured in The Wall Street Journal, Boston Globe, Miami Herald, Houston and San Francisco Chronicle, NBC, ABC, CBS News, FOX and CNN to name a few.

Ken Starr—a former independent counsel famed for the Clinton–Lewinsky investigation—was one of the high-powered attorneys who joined Epstein's defense team during the 2006–2008 case in Florida. Starr's influence proved pivotal; according to Miami Herald reporter Julie K. Brown's book Perversion of Justice, he orchestrated a “scorched‑earth” campaign that leveraged his political connections in the Bush administration to pressure the Justice Department into approving a highly favorable plea deal for Epstein. Starr even wrote an aggressive eight‑page letter to Deputy Attorney General Mark Filip arguing that prosecutors were acting improperly—an approach reminiscent of Starr's own high-profile “Starr Report” while investigating President ClintonThough Starr's aggressive defense helped secure Epstein's notorious 2008 non‑prosecution agreement—which shielded Epstein from broader federal trafficking charges and limited his punishment to just over a year in county jail under lenient conditions—there's no record of any serious repercussions for Starr himself. His legal tactics may be viewed as emblematic of how elite influence and aggressive lobbying can skew justice in favor of the powerful, but Starr faced no formal sanctions or professional fallout from his involvementTo contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comSource:https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/jul/13/ken-starr-jeffrey-epstein-book

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for September 6, 2025 is: mollify • MAH-luh-fye • verb To mollify someone is to make them less angry. Mollify can also mean "to reduce in intensity." // The celebrity's statement was intended to mollify critics. // Time mollified her anger. See the entry > Examples: "The philanthropic move is likely meant to mollify angry residents who are protesting against the celebrity-filled spectacle being held in their historic backyard." — Madeleine Marr, The Miami Herald, 25 June 2025 Did you know? Mollify is particularly well-suited for referring to the action of soothing emotional distress or anger and softening hard feelings: the word comes from the Latin adjective mollis, meaning "soft." Mollis is also the root of the English adjective emollient, used to describe something (such as a hand lotion) that softens or soothes, and the noun mollusk, which refers to any one of a large group of animals (such as snails and clams) that have a soft body without a backbone and that usually live in a shell.

It was the early morning hours of May 20, 2017, and 15-year-old Sophie Reeder should have been in bed. Instead, she had slipped out of her house in the River Oaks neighborhood of Fort Lauderdale and walked off into the hot, humid night. Two security cameras recorded some of Sophie's movements over the next several hours. One recorded her walking past a neighbor's house as she started her journey; another recorded her walking along a busy road near her home at 2 a.m. In that video, a police cruiser passes the 5-foot-1, 100-pound teenager and doesn't slow down or stop. Sophie is seen wearing a short black dress, high-top sneakers, a leopard-print fake fur coat, and headphones. They are the last known images of her. Seven weeks after Sophie's disappearance, police executed a search warrant at an apartment in the area where her phone last pinged. Three convicted felons were staying at that address. Josh Mankiewicz talks with Sophie's father, Patrick Reeder, her aunt Kirsten Milhorn, reporter Brittany Wallman of the Miami Herald, and Sergeant Don Geiger of the Fort Lauderdale Police Department. The FLPD is offering a reward of up to $25,000 for credible information that leads to the recovery of Sophie Reeder.

Julie K. Brown, the investigative reporter for the Miami Herald, not only reignited the Jeffrey Epstein case by exposing the sweetheart non-prosecution agreement in Florida but also turned her spotlight to Epstein's Caribbean operations. In a 2023 Miami Herald piece titled “U.S. Virgin Islands cozied up to Jeffrey Epstein. Now they're profiting from his sex crimes,” Brown detailed how Epstein benefited from deep ties to the territory's institutions—securing lavish tax breaks and beneficial financial dealings through shell companies like Southern Trust. Her reporting underscored how USVI authorities, including those in positions of power, either overlooked or enabled Epstein's operations, which later came under legal scrutiny through lawsuits and settlements.In the piece, Brown argued that the USVI not only allowed Epstein to operate with little interference but later positioned itself to collect financial benefits through penalties and settlements after his death. This framing suggested that the government was both complicit in allowing the criminal enterprise to flourish and opportunistic in profiting from its collapse. The article sparked strong pushback, including from the University of the Virgin Islands, which issued a public response disputing some of the claims. The controversy reflected the tension between investigative reporting that sought to highlight systemic failures and local institutions that rejected the characterization of their role.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:U.S. Virgin Islands profiting from Jeffrey Epstein's crimes | Miami HeraldBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Deux attaques ont été menées ce jeudi contre un hélicoptère militaire, près de Medellin, et une base de l'armée de l'Air à Cali, tuant 18 personnes et blessant des dizaines. Elles sont attribuées à des groupes dissidents des FARC, considérés maintenant comme « entités terroristes ».  Il est près de 15h, et c'est la panique dans cette rue de Cali. Dans cette vidéo, publiée par le journal El Espectador, on peut voir le camion utilisé pour l'attentat, éventré devant un centre commercial et proche de la base de l'armée de l'air. Six civils ont été tués dans cette explosion et une soixantaine de blessés, et ce bilan aurait pu être encore plus élevé, rapporte El Pais de Cali, car selon la ministre de la Défense, un deuxième camion chargé d'explosifs n'a pas réussi à exploser. Deux suspects ont été arrêtés et les autorités accusent des groupes narcotrafiquants, dissidents de la rébellion FARC d'en être responsables. Le président Gustavo Petro a condamné ce « massacre », et tout de suite déclaré trois de ces groupes comme « entités terroristes » : ils s'appellent Mordisco, la Segunda Marquetalia et El Clan del Golfo. Ceci est censé faciliter la coopération internationale pour les combattre, mais dans les faits, cela ne changera pas grand-chose dans ce domaine, tempère El Tiempo, car « les États-Unis les ont déjà placés sur une liste noire ». Par contre, cela réduira les chances d'accord de paix avec eux, prévient une juriste dans le journal, et risque d'accroitre la violence : « si vous accentuez les opérations militaires contre eux, ils augmenteront ce genre d'attaques, dont les premières cibles sont les civils », alerte cette spécialiste. Pour Lina Penagos, chercheuse franco-colombienne en science politique à l'université Paris-Est Créteil, interrogée sur notre antenne, « il est important que le gouvernement colombien reconnaisse que ces groupes sont avant tout criminels », et que le problème tient au fait que, jusqu'à présent, le président Gustavo Petro a essayé de négocier avec eux, par exemple par des discussions menées au Qatar avec le Clan del Golfo. Or, ces groupes ne sont plus des entités politiques, mais « mènent des activités criminelles très larges, autour du narcotrafic mais aussi des mines ou des armes ». Vous pouvez écouter son entretien complet dans cette tranche (11e minute).  Dossier sur les cartels mexicains dans le monde, par Noémie Lehouelleur Ces cartels, comme celui de Sinaloa ou de Jalisco Nueva Generacion, fonctionnent aujourd'hui comme des multinationales, s'emparent de nouvelles routes à travers l'Afrique, et développent de nouveaux produits et méthodes : il est possible d'acheter des laboratoires de métamphétamines et de les installer en Europe, avec l'aide d'experts mexicains, par exemple.

Aux États-Unis, la nouvelle prison pour migrants illégaux, Alligator Alcatraz, doit fermer C'est une des prisons emblématiques lancées par l'administration Trump pour accueillir les migrants clandestins, mais une juge fédérale a ordonné sa fermeture d'ici deux mois, jeudi, et interdit l'entrée de nouveaux détenus. Elle donne ainsi raison à un groupe environnemental, cité par le Miami Herald. Ils assuraient que cette gigantesque prison, située dans le parc national des Everglades, en Floride pouvait détruire l'écologie locale, et menacer surtout une espèce de panthère en danger et des chauve-souris, à cause des projecteurs visibles à plus de 40 kilomètres de distance. La juge a reproché aux autorités de ne pas avoir réalisé d'étude d'impact environnementale avant de l'ouvrir début juillet, révélant un empressement excessif. L'État de Floride a fait appel de ce jugement, et semble de toutes façons l'anticiper, car sur les 1 400 prisonniers que comptait la prison le mois dernier, il en reste moins de 400, et un nouveau centre de détention devrait ouvrir au nord de la Floride. Au Mexique, d'où vient un quart des détenus, cette prochaine fermeture réjouit les autorités, rapporte le quotidien Universal - un de ses consuls aux États-Unis répète qu'« être migrant n'est pas un délit, et que ces personnes ne doivent pas être en prison ». Les coupes dans Medicaid contestées par des électeurs républicains Dans leur budget adopté le mois dernier, les élus républicains cherchaient des fonds pour financer leur chasse aux migrants illégaux - et ils ont donc largement coupé dans le programme médical pour les plus défavorisés, appelé Medicaid. Douze millions de personnes pourraient en être exclues, et parmi elles, des Républicains, justement, comme Rachel Roth Aldhizer. Cette mère d'un enfant gravement handicapé, appelé David, lance un cri de révolte dans les colonnes du New York Times: « Medicaid paie pour les docteurs de David, ses kinés et me paie même pour prendre soin de lui toute la journée. Medicaid maintient David en vie », écrit-elle. Dans son État de Caroline du Nord, les coupes pourraient s'élever à 319 millions de dollars à partir d'octobre. Rachel appelle donc les citoyens à interpeler leurs élus, afin d'arrêter l'hécatombe, au nom de valeurs non partisanes : « la manière dont nous nous occupons des plus vulnérables révèle ce en quoi nous croyons. Un jour, vous aurez aussi besoin de quelqu'un pour s'occuper de vous », rappelle cette maman républicaine. Et de conclure : « La dépendance, la faiblesse et le besoin des autres ne sont pas une tare - cela fait partie de l'expérience humaine. » A Haïti, la fermeture des hôpitaux universitaires pose un danger sanitaire À cause de l'insécurité qui ravage l'île, deux des plus importants hôpitaux universitaires ont fermé depuis 18 mois : l'hôpital de l'université d'État d'Haïti, à Port-au-Prince, et celui de Mirebalais. Un quart des docteurs formés à Mirebalais en 2023 a déjà quitté le pays, rappelle Le Nouvelliste, et ceux qui sortent aujourd'hui des écoles n'ont pas d'endroit où se former dans beaucoup de spécialités aussi communes que la dermatologie ou la neuropsychiatrie. Nous sommes en pleine période de recrutement, et les places manquent. « L'heure est grave, la situation nécessite que les responsables à tous les niveaux soient à la hauteur. Ça urge ! », s'écrie le journal. Le journal de la 1ere En Martinique, le ministre français de l'Intérieur a dévoilé de nombreux moyens pour lutter contre le narcotrafic : des radars, des drones et un scanner, entre autres. Les réactions des députés locaux sont peu enthousiastes, car cela arrive plus de huit mois après la flambée des crimes. Bruno Retailleau se rend maintenant en Guadeloupe, où les mêmes problèmes agitent le département.

En septiembre del año 1960, el huracán Donna golpeó los Cayos de Florida con vientos de más de 260 km/h. Las crónicas del Miami Herald documentaron su paso devastador: casas destruidas, barcos hundidos y familias enteras sin hogar. Entre ellas estaba James Wright, quien, al regresar a lo que quedaba de su vivienda, encontró solo escombros… excepto por su Biblia familiar, intacta y abierta en el Salmo 46: “Dios es nuestro amparo y fortaleza, nuestro pronto auxilio en las tribulaciones”. Wright declaró al periódico que aquel versículo fue un mensaje directo de Dios en el momento más oscuro de su vida. Esa misma noche, reunió a vecinos que habían perdido todo para leer juntos el pasaje y orar. Muchos dijeron que esas palabras fueron un refugio emocional cuando no quedaba refugio físico. Las tormentas físicas y espirituales son inevitables. Algunas arrancan techos; otras, esperanza. Pero la Palabra de Dios es el ancla que no se mueve, aun cuando todo lo demás se derrumbe. Si ella está firme en tu vida, ninguna tormenta te arrastrará lejos de Su presencia. La Biblia dice en Salmos 46:1: “Dios es nuestro amparo y fortaleza, nuestro pronto auxilio en las tribulaciones” (RV1960).

Dr. George Zaharion (WWF Ringside Doctor in PA) was convicted by a jury for illegal distribution of Steroids, and McMahon needed to put water on that fire. The WWF attempted to control the media at that time and did not invite the Wrestling Press to attend (especially yours truly). I was able to get in using an alias, and confronted McMahon about it. All captured on tape. Later on the show - we featured reporter Alex Marvez of the Miami Herald to discuss the turmoil and the scandals.

Alex Acosta is frequently singled out as the architect of Jeffrey Epstein's 2008 non-prosecution agreement (NPA), but mounting evidence suggests that he was more of a functionary than a decision-maker. As the U.S. Attorney in South Florida, Acosta did sign off on the sweetheart deal that allowed Epstein to avoid federal prosecution and serve minimal time in a county jail. However, emails and DOJ records show that once Epstein's legal team escalated their complaints, the matter was kicked up the chain of command to Washington. Acosta even reportedly told the Miami Herald that he was told Epstein “belonged to intelligence” and that backing off was not a choice, further muddying the narrative that he acted independently. The DOJ's Office of Professional Responsibility later criticized Acosta's judgment but stopped short of alleging misconduct.The real power players behind the Epstein NPA appear to have been then–Attorney General Michael Mukasey and Deputy Attorney General Mark Filip. When Epstein's lawyers petitioned to have the case reviewed, DOJ officials in D.C.—including those in the Criminal Division and the Deputy Attorney General's office—were briefed and ultimately approved the non-prosecution path. In other words, the final green light came from the top of the Justice Department, not Acosta's office alone. This recontextualizes the NPA as less a rogue local failure and more a coordinated decision at the highest levels of federal power. The narrative that Acosta alone bears the weight of the Epstein scandal not only oversimplifies the truth—it protects the very people who had the authority to stop it and didn't.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://nypost.com/2021/02/04/top-doj-officials-okd-epstein-deal-maxwell-lawyers/

Epstein, Trump & the MAGA Meltdown — Sorting Fact from Fiction

Ever since Trump was re-elected in 2024, his MAGA base has been eagerly awaiting the release of the Epstein files. So it came as a shock when, in July, a Justice Department memo said they had reviewed the matter and determined that there was “no basis to revisit the disclosure of those materials,” that the rumored “client list” did not exist, and that there was no evidence Epstein “blackmailed prominent individuals as part of his actions.” Suddenly, key pillars of the conspiracy theory were knocked down, by the very administration that promised to get to the bottom of the Epstein saga.  Since then, MAGA has split into two factions: those who are siding with the administration and ready to move on, and those who still want the Epstein files released. To make matters worse for President Trump, recent stories in the Wall Street Journal have reminded the public that, for over a decade, Trump and Epstein were actually friends. And while it's not evidence of a crime, recent reporting has also revealed that Trump's name is, indeed, in the Epstein files.  To help us separate the facts of the case from the thorny conspiracies that surround it, we've brought on Julie K. Brown and Donie O'Sullivan. Brown is an investigative reporter at The Miami Herald who began digging into the Epstein case in 2018, leading to his second arrest. O'Sullivan is a CNN senior correspondent who covers online misinformation and conspiracy theories.  When reached for comment regarding allegations that it passed on the Epstein story, New York Times spokesperson Charlie Stadtlander responded with the following statement: The Times's coverage of Jeffrey Epstein has been hard-hitting and thorough, starting with the first legal charges against him in 2006. Since then, we've covered every step of the story involving Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, the powerful people in their orbit and the shadowy aftermath of Epstein's arrest and death in custody. We can't speak to whatever Julie K. Brown is saying the victims' lawyers told her -- neither of them has actually identified a New York Times journalist in this matter, and we have yet to find any record of such conversations. Times reporters continue to do tough and deep work to uncover and verify the facts about Epstein and those around him. Questions? Comments?
