Hugh Hefner Reported Jeffrey Epstein in 2005—FBI KILLED the Investigation to Protect Elite Pedophile Ring

by Sean Adl-Tabatabai, The Peoples Voice:

Hugh Hefner made multiple calls to the FBI about Jeffrey Epstein back in 2005, a lawsuit reveals. However, the FBI killed the investigation to protect his “powerful friends.”

According to the New York Post, model Audra Lynn Christiansen was living at Hefner’s infamous Beverly Hills mansion when she told the publisher that she had been sexually assaulted and trafficked to Macau casino billionaire Stanley Ho by Epstein.

Christiansen asked Hef to call the authorities on her behalf, hoping that his “clout” would lead to the accusations being taken seriously.

Britain – the End of an Empire?

by Martin Armstrong, Armstrong Economics:

Andy Burnham has not maintained Keir Starmer’s migrant policy in full. Instead, he has broken with his predecessor by canceling a key Starmer policy and is publicly advocating for a different approach. Burham aims for “fundamental changes” and has focused on tougher border controls while increasing support for genuine asylum seekers. The migrants in the UK receive a specific form of government support for basic living costs:, which amounts to £45 per week per person for food, clothing, and toiletries. This is often loaded onto a special debit card.

NATO’s Asian Dominance: Recipe for WWIII

by Harley Schlanger, LaRouche Organization:

With Hegseth’s defense of the “Donroe Doctrine” in Panama and Colby’s tour of Asian allies that he intends to be vassals, it should be clear that this control of the Pacific is designed to counter China—included their work in South America to bring economic development and infrastructure, versus the colonial system of the City of London. Who is insane enough to push conflict there, given that Russia, China and North Korea all have nuclear weapons? As Helga Zepp-LaRouche stated in her international webcast this week, there are changes underway in a compressed time that create the potential for both a new paradigm and WWIII. She posed that for us as individuals, it is “the subjective factor is what may make the difference; because it may tilt the situation in one way or another.” Join the International Peace Coalition today for your marching orders!

The Colorado River, Lake Powell, Lake Mead Problem Finally Hits Crisis Level

by Mish Shedlock, Mish Talk:

There are more water rights than there is water. Higher prices will result.

Efforts to Save Lakes Powell and Mead Are Underway

This water problem has been understood for over a decade, but water levels are now so low there may be no water or electricity unless drastic measures are taken.

States refused to address the problem so the Federal Government took over. For once, that’s a good thing.

A bombshell investigation has revealed that the woman quietly serving as one of the most influential advisers to artificial intelligence giant Anthropic’s CEO previously sought financial backing from convicted child predator Jeffrey Epstein.

The revelations come as Anthropic prepares for what could become the largest initial public offering in history, with investors reportedly valuing the AI company at more than $2 trillion.

2026 Midterms Very, Very Tight Election – Martin Armstrong

0

by Greg Hunter, USA Watchdog:

 Legendary financial and geopolitical cycle analyst Martin Armstrong is out with a new report (more than 100 pages) that takes a deep dive on the “2026 Midterm Elections” in November.  Armstrong says, “The computer is showing this is going to be a very, very tight election.  It’s a 50/50 deal where we didn’t see either party coming in with a landslide.  The bottom line looks like the Democrats can take the House, but not the Senate.  So, you will have a 50/50 divided government.  You are going to get a lot of the crazies on the Democrat side.  Even the conservative Democrats are getting very nervous.  You recently had (Democrat) James Carville talking about how the party is going to split, which was our forecast in 2024.  So, this is where we are heading.  By the Dems taking the House, you will see all kinds of investigations, there will be another impeachment of Trump, etc.  They will be real obstructionists.  They don’t give a crap about the country.  If Trump says the sky is blue, they have to say it’s red.  This is the way politics degenerated.”

The Illusion of Victory: Hidden Cameras Replace Flock Cameras

by Patti Johnson, Glory To God Studio:

We scream “VICTORY” as Flock cameras come down all over the country. Don’t celebrate yet. The wily elite already have Plan B in the works. And if Plan B fails, they have plan C, D, E, F, L, G, B, T, Q, M, R, N, A +++++. It is the classic magician’s trick: we are all distracted by the beautiful assistant (the dismantling of Flock Cameras) as the magician quietly pulls the next rabbit (Plan B: hidden cameras) out of his hat. And Plan B is harder to fight. Cameras are now being installed in streetlamps to replace the Flock cameras. We can’t just rip down all the streetlights in protest, can we?

Thousands of Migrants Remain in Spanish City After Border Invasion

from The National Pulse:

Spain’s government estimates that thousands of illegal migrants remain in Ceuta, straining resources and raising questions over the country’s asylum policies and deportation efforts.
PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: Spain’s Socialist Party government estimates that over 5,000 migrants remain in the city of Ceuta following the mass influx into the Spanish exclave in late July, with all potentially eligible to seek asylum or other legal protection.

Is Israel Planning to Assassinate President Trump?

by Philip Giraldi, The Unz Review:

“When you read Jewish law in many places, you might understand that gentiles can be killed freely without any problems.”

— Rabbi Yitzhak Shapira, Radio Kol Hai (July 2011)

In January 2012, Andrew Adler, the owner and publisher of a small weekly newspaper called the Atlanta Jewish Times, sparked considerable controversy when he penned an article titled ‘What Would You Do?’ in which he put forth three possible responses Israel might pursue if Iran were to acquire a nuclear weapon. The first two — pre-emptive strikes on Hezbollah and Hamas and disobeying the US Secretary of Defense to destroy Iran’s nuclear facilities — failed to raise any eyebrows. Adler’s third suggestion, however, would result in his immediate resignation as editor and the subsequent sale of his newspaper:

Netanyahu’s réprise of the ‘Iraq WMD deceit’ – re-launched to promote war on Iran

by Alastair Crooke, Strategic Culture:

President Trump took Secretary of War Hegseth’s military cheerleading (‘U.S. military potency is awesome’) at face value, only belatedly to discover that the U.S. is out of interceptors in a war that hinges on air defences. ‘The restock mathematics is just as cold. Four years to refill the stocks (not four months), because components include rare earth materials that are controlled by China’.

Hegseth, it seems, is now in the dog-house, whilst Treasury Secretary Bessent’s star is ascendent.

Reportedly, Bessent has continuously reassured Trump that the oil shortage triggered by the closure of the Hormuz Strait “is temporary and manageable” (it isn’t), arguing too that energy-driven inflation also will ease once global tensions cool. He has bet his hat on it. And Trump seems to believe in the manipulation of oil and market futures.

Mundane DOJ Memo On Post Office Gun Bans Is Actually Bigger Deal Than You Think

0

by Harold Hutchison, All News Pipeline:

The Department of Justice’s Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) informed Attorney General Todd Blanche Wednesday that under current law, firearms were not banned in post offices under a broad exception covering many who carry concealed.

Federal district courts have issued conflicting rulings, with the Trump administration previously electing to drop an appeal of a district court ruling that found the ban unconstitutional after the Supreme Court’s Wolford decision. In the memo, the OLC advised Blanche that the provisions of 18 USC 930, one of the more commonly used statutes to justify a ban on carrying guns in United States Postal Service (USPS) buildings, contained an exemption that applied to those who lawfully carry firearms for lawful purposes including self-defense self-defense, removing the threat of criminal prosecution for having a gun inside a post office or on USPS property.
