What does war look like when fought under the harshest scrutiny? Veteran soldier and military researcher Andrew Fox talks about his first-hand experience in Gaza with EconTalk's Russ Roberts. He and Roberts explore the challenges of reporting and understanding the war amid the challenges of disinformation, and why Fox believes that the IDF had few tactical alternatives to destroying infrastructure and buildings in the Gaza Strip. Fox also addresses the claims that Israel deliberately targeted Gazan children and wielded starvation as a weapon, and explains why he believes that Israel succeeded in achieving its strategic war goals.

In her posthumously published memoir, Nobody's Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice, Giuffre alleges that while she was trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein and his associates she was sent to a “well-known Prime Minister” who raped her “more savagely than anyone had before”. She describes being choked until unconscious, bleeding from multiple wounds, and begging Epstein not to return her to that person — only to be told coldly “You'll get that sometimes.”The identity of the prime minister remains undisclosed in the memoir, but the revelation has stirred renewed scrutiny of the power networks and political complicity surrounding Epstein's trafficking operations. According to media coverage, Giuffre's ghostwriter claims to know all the “names in Epstein's files” and the book has reignited debates about immunity, accountability and how high the cover-up goes.Virginia Roberts Giuffre's allegations against her father, Sky Roberts, form one of the most painful elements of her memoir Nobody's Girl. In it, she writes that the abuse began when she was a young child and continued for years, leaving her emotionally broken and distrustful of the people who were supposed to protect her. She describes her father as someone who manipulated her sense of love and loyalty, creating confusion and fear. This betrayal, she explains, destroyed the foundation of safety that every child should have, and it became the earliest chapter of the exploitation that would later consume her life. Her account frames the abuse as the beginning of a long cycle of predation — one that made her susceptible to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell's manipulation as a teenager.Sky Roberts has categorically denied the accusations, calling them false and saying he is devastated by the claims. Despite his denials, Virginia maintains that her father's actions were a key part of the trauma that defined her adolescence and adulthood. She says that being violated by someone within her own family conditioned her to accept mistreatment from others, because she no longer believed she deserved safety or respect. Her allegations have reignited painful conversations about generational abuse and how early trauma can make victims easier targets for predators later in life. For Giuffre, confronting this chapter publicly appears to be both an act of truth-telling and a step toward reclaiming power after years of silence and exploitation.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

The videotaped deposition of Virginia Roberts Giuffre taken on January 16, 2016, in Fort Lauderdale sits at the center of the bitter legal war between Epstein survivors' attorneys Bradley Edwards and Paul Cassell and Alan Dershowitz, who was accused by Giuffre of sexually abusing her when she was a minor trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein. In the deposition, Giuffre gives a detailed, sworn narrative of how she was recruited by Ghislaine Maxwell, groomed, trafficked to powerful men, and moved across multiple jurisdictions while still underage. She identifies Epstein's residences, flight patterns, intermediaries, and specific encounters, placing her allegations firmly inside the broader trafficking structure rather than as isolated claims. The testimony was preserved on video precisely because her lawyers anticipated that credibility, consistency, and demeanor would become central issues in the defamation battle that followed. It also captured Giuffre under oath before years of public pressure, media narratives, and evolving legal strategies could reshape the record.What made this deposition legally explosive was its direct role in the defamation and civil litigation between Dershowitz and the Edwards–Cassell team, after Giuffre publicly accused Dershowitz and he responded with an aggressive campaign claiming she had fabricated the allegations and falsely implicated him. The video became a critical piece of evidence in determining whether Giuffre's statements were knowingly false or grounded in a consistent trafficking account supported by contemporaneous detail. Dershowitz's lawyers later argued that contradictions, memory gaps, and timeline disputes undermined her credibility, while Giuffre's side pointed to the overall coherence of her narrative and the corroborating travel and contact records emerging in parallel cases. Long before the unsealing battles and public reckonings, this deposition quietly locked in one of the earliest comprehensive sworn accounts of Epstein's trafficking network—and the legal fault line that would later fracture the reputations of some of the most powerful lawyers and institutions tied to the case.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:1257-12.pdf
Annemarie Ettekoven publicly described Jean-Luc Brunel as a predatory figure who operated with impunity inside Jeffrey Epstein's orbit, portraying him as a man who openly trafficked in young girls and treated sexual exploitation as routine. She stated that Brunel moved comfortably among powerful people, leveraged his modeling connections to access vulnerable girls, and acted with a confidence that suggested he believed he was protected. Ettekoven emphasized that Brunel was not a peripheral player but an active participant in the same abuse ecosystem that sustained Epstein, and she made clear that his behavior was widely known within certain circles long before authorities intervened.Ettekoven also pointed to the importance of the evidence provided by Virginia Roberts Giuffre to French authorities, describing it as detailed, specific, and corroborative of long-standing allegations against Brunel. Giuffre's testimony included accounts of being trafficked by Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell to Brunel in France, along with descriptions of locations, timelines, and conduct that French investigators treated as credible enough to form the backbone of their case. Ettekoven underscored that Giuffre's cooperation was central to establishing jurisdiction and momentum in France, and that without her evidence, Brunel likely would have continued to evade serious legal scrutiny for years longer than he did.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com
