Very long story short, what we are finding is that both Trump and Epstein were products of a large scale subversion campaign designed by Vladimir Kryuchkov to topple the West, with Trump as a political front and Maxwells/Epstein tasked with allocating ~$50 billion in KGB funds.

Q: On the pardon of Changpeng Zhao, Binance has significant business interests with World Liberty Financial, the president family's crypto company. How do you respond to criticisms that this is a corrupt act?

Today Trump declared that a "land action" is imminent in Venezuela, likely main land strikes, and that Colombia and Mexico are run by cartels and the US "needs to defend" itself, implying that he plans to violate Colombian and Mexican sovereignty and kill civilians.

As you read about how deftly Abbe Lowell contrasts "purported interim US Attorney Lindsey Halligan's" ineptitude w/his client, "Attorney General James," remember that on top of being a dumbass, Lindsey is also the bigot who was in the process of removing pictures of slavery out of the Smithsonian.

It is legit the case that the ballroom is partially funded by Palantir, so Peter Thiel, who DID fund Epstein.

Also, Microsoft, so Bill Gates.

Finally, someone (Tish James atty Abbe Lowell) is making a stink about Lindsey Halligan stalking @annabower.bsky.social.

storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

In initiating this contact, Ms. Halligan—the lead prosecutor on this case as of the date of
this filing—commented on the credibility and general strength of the evidence presented to the
grand jury. She also commented, more generally, on the purported strength of the case she was
bringing, complained about the New York Times’ coverage of a certain witness’s grand jury
testimony, and stated the article did not convey a “full representation” of what took place before
the grand jury. These extrajudicial statements and prejudicial disclosures by any prosecutor, let
alone one purporting to be the U.S. Attorney, run afoul of and violate the Federal Rules of Criminal
Procedure, the Code of Federal Regulations, this Court’s Local Rules, various rules of ethical and
professional responsibility, and DOJ’s Justice Manual.

Trump is empowering election deniers in key positions, like Heather Honey at CISA.

But elections are run by states.

This is why the 2022 midterms, where election deniers lost state-level races in all key battleground states, was so consequential.

Democrats run those states.

The DC ACLU is suing on behalf of a man who was arrested by a National Guardsman and MPD officers for playing the Imperial March (from Star Wars) as an act of protest. www.acludc.org/app/uploads/...

Ohio National Guard member Sgt. Devon Beck was not amused by this satire. On
September 11, 2025, Mr. O’Hara saw Sgt. Beck, along with several other Guard members, walking
in uniform in the Logan Circle neighborhood, near the intersection of 14th and R Streets NW. Mr.
O’Hara calmly walked behind the Guard members, began playing The Imperial March aloud on
his phone, and started recording. In less than two minutes, Sgt. Beck turned around and threatened
to call D.C. police officers to “handle” Mr. O’Hara if he persisted. Mr. O’Hara continued recording
and playing the music. Sgt. Beck contacted the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD). Defendant
MPD Officers Brown, Campbell, Reyes-Benigno, and Lopez Martinez came to the scene and, in
essence, did what Sgt. Beck had threatened, putting Mr. O’Hara in handcuffs and preventing him
from continuing his peaceful protest.
