The Great Epstein Files Snipe Hunt

It was the FBI who were reassigned to pour thru the files removing anything that could hurt Trump or his allies. It was the Justice Department who just recently lied about Renee Good and Alex Pretti, wasn't it? The new release of the Epstein files is successfully distracting the alt press from a number of Trump misadventures like Iran, Venezuela, Minneapolis and that little issue of him taking a 1/2 billion dollar bribe from UAE. And yet, folks are diligently pouring through the files to see if they can find the one thing the 1,000 feds missed, the one thing everyone knows they aren't going to find. At some point, you gotta drop the snipe bag and get on with your life you know. At some point.

Mediterranean dockworkers set to strike against arms flow to Israel

from PressTV

Dockworkers at more than 20 Mediterranean ports are planning a strike next week to protest arms shipments to Israel and their governments’ "complicity" in the Gaza genocide, demanding an immediate halt to weapons transfers.

The Italy-based grassroots dockworkers’ union, Unione Sindacale di Base (USB), announced it will participate in an international general strike on February 6.

“If we don’t take this step, all our other demands will be crushed under war,” Francesco Staccioli of USB warned.

Italian dockworkers will join colleagues across Greece, the Basque Country, Morocco, and Turkey in a coordinated action opposing the growing militarization of key transport infrastructure.

The strike aims to prevent arms shipments, reject rearmament, and oppose the impact of a war economy on workers’ rights and social security systems.

According to organizers, the day of action will help “ensure that European and Mediterranean ports are places of peace, free from any involvement in war.”

Representatives from USB have stated that industrial action against genocide, militarization of ports, and US imperialism are inseparable from local labor struggles...

Kiev-backed suicide bomb plot thwarted in Russia – FSB

from RT

A Ukrainian terrorist plot involving an unwitting suicide bomber has been thwarted in the Russian port city of Sevastopol, the Federal Security Service (FSB) has said.

The agency said a Ukrainian intelligence handler persuaded a local resident to carry a portable speaker to the FSB’s regional headquarters, telling him it would be used for surveillance as part of an internal investigation. Officials said the device actually concealed an improvised explosive meant to detonate at the site. Security guards intercepted the device and found the explosives before they could be triggered.

Officials released a record of what they said were instructions given by the Ukrainian handler, who claimed the unwitting accomplice would be offered a job at the FSB, should he prove capable in the fake counter-espionage operation. The job was expected to take a couple of minutes and supposedly necessitated that the suspect scan mobile phones in the HQ security checkpoint to detect traitors...

Trump family secretly signed $500m crypto deal with 'spy sheikh' who has been pushing for access to US intelligence

from Daily Mail

The Trump family quietly signed a $500 million cryptocurrency deal with a powerful Abu Dhabi royal just days before Donald Trump returned to the White House in January 2025.

A previously undisclosed agreement that sent nearly $200 million to Trump-linked entities and was followed months later by the US granting the same foreign power sweeping access to sensitive artificial intelligence technology.

The deal, involving Trump-backed crypto firm World Liberty Financial, was signed on January 16, 2025, by Eric Trump and executives tied to Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the UAE's national security adviser and brother of the country's president.

The previously undisclosed deal was confirmed by the Wall Street Journal, company documents and others familiar with the matter. 

The transaction made a foreign government official the largest shareholder in a company tied to the US president. The move is unprecedented in modern American politics, raising questions about conflicts of interest and the influence of foreign powers.

The buyer was Aryam Investment 1, a company controlled by Sheikh Tahnoon, one of the most powerful figures in the Middle East. 

The agreement granted Aryam a 49 percent  ownership stake in World Liberty for $500 million - with $250 million paid immediately, and $187 million of that first installment directed to Trump family entities, according to documents reviewed by the Journal.

Tahnoon, who serves as the UAE's national security adviser and oversees a sprawling business empire worth more than $1.3 trillion, has long been viewed with suspicion inside Washington's intelligence and national security circles...

Save Yourselves from the Vampire Ball: libera te tutemet ex inferis

by Scott Creighton (H/T Aunt BB)

Libera te tutemet 

 

President Putin made a statement recently regarding the exposure of SOME of the Epstein files and how they show the savage, corrupt, malicious nature of Western elites.

'There is a strong desire in Western elites to freeze the status quo, the unjust state of affairs in international matters. They're used to filling their bellies for centuries with human flesh and their pockets with money but they need to realize the vampire ball is ending.' Vladimir Putin

LozzieB (@TruthFairy131) posted the video along with this statement. 

'EPSTEIN WAS IN EFFORTS TO OVERTHROW PUTIN WITH BILL GATES. 

The Epstein files reveal Bill Gates chief science advisor was coordinating with Epstein on Russian regime change operations, starting in January 2012. 

Boris Nikolic served as chief advisor for science and technology to Bill Gates. 

He was named executor of Epstein's $578 million will. He was also the go-between connecting Epstein to Russian opposition figures.' LozzieB 

Putin is correct. Our particular version of imperialism is well documented and goes back a very long time, even before this country was formed. It is rapacious and merciless and requires massive amounts of human blood to be sacrificed so our elites can satiate their hunger for... more. 

Always they want more. 

No Way to Win in Iran

(Or maybe he's being blackmailed with video from Jeffrey Epstein's house?) 

from John Mearsheimer's Substack

On 29 January 2026, I was on the “Deep Dive” with Lt. Col. (ret.) Danny Davis. We had an excellent discussion on what President Trump’s options are in a war against Iran. We both agreed that he has no good military option at this point or for the foreseeable future, which is not to say Trump will not attack. But all the evidence indicates that he would be foolish to do so. Indeed, it is quite clear that the Israelis, who asked him not to attack on January 14th, when he appeared ready to do so, still have reservations about the wisdom of an attack.

It is worth noting that the Israelis launched major attacks by themselves against Iran on 19 April 2024 and 26 October 2024. They then launched major attacks with the United States against Iran during the 12-day war in June 2025. Today, Israel is apparently planning to sit on the sidelines while the US attacks Iran by itself.

What is going on? Netanyahu tried hard to drag the Biden administration into attacking Iran with Israel in 2024, but failed. Biden and his lieutenants understood that a war with Iran was not in the American national interest. Netanyahu succeeded, however, in getting Trump to join forces with Israel and attack Iran in June 2025. Now he has helped maneuver Trump into contemplating a US-only war against Iran, although it appears that the Israelis are getting cold feet. Someone is being played for a sucker...

Trump tells India to stop purchasing Iran oil, buy Venezuelan instead

 (Remind me again what part of the Bolivarian Revolution involved Donald Trump selling oil for Venezuela... I forget. ಠ_ಠ )

from PressTV (H/T Aunt BB)

US President Donald Trump has told India to stop purchasing oil from Iran and instead supply its energy demands by buying crude from Venezuela.

“India is coming in, and they’re going to be buying Venezuelan oil as opposed to buying it from Iran. So, we’ve already made that deal, the concept of the deal,” Trump told reporters on board Air Force One on Saturday.

Earlier, Trump had threatened to slap fresh tariffs on India if New Delhi did not halt its purchase of oil from US adversaries.

However, New Delhi had resisted the threat, reminding the US president that Washington had no authority to determine the trading relations of other nations.

Trump is openly saying that he has taken full control of Venezuela’s oil industry following the US forces' kidnapping of the South American country’s president, Nicolas Maduro.

Under the pretext of leading a cartel of drug and gun traffickers, Maduro was abducted from the presidential palace in Caracas last month and transferred to a prison facility in New York pending trial...

FBI Told Trump Compromised by Israel in 2020

by Scott Creighton

Trump is the most compromised president in our nation's history due to his fondness for children, let's call it. I've been saying this for a while. And now here is a report from the FBI dated 2020 in which a confidential human source (CHS) tells them the same thing.

The Zionists (Jewish supremacists) are building concentration camps in Gaza to be used to house the slave labor force they will use to build their new UAE-like resort paradise for the rich and famous (big discount for Jewish people of course) and our president has to go along with it because they are offering him a ton of gold for doing so and of course exposure as a pedo if he doesn't.

All thanks to Jeffrey Epstein (who is still alive) working Trump like a mark back in the day.

They Said They Weren’t Close to Epstein. New Documents Show Otherwise.

from the NYT

They said they didn’t really know Jeffrey Epstein that well. They were disgusted by him right off the bat. They were just drawn to his intellect or love of science or business acumen. They didn’t know about his abuse of women and girls. They deeply regretted associating with him.

In the years since Mr. Epstein’s 2019 arrest and death by suicide in a Manhattan jail, some of the world’s wealthiest and most powerful people have hastened to distance themselves from the disgraced man with whom they once did business, dined in lavish settings or flew on private jets.

But a slow drip of document releases and other revelations over the last several months — culminating in Friday’s release of nearly three million pages of Epstein-related records — has underscored the depth, intensity and persistence of his connections to the global elite, contradicting or undermining years of careful denials.

So far, at least, the new documents have not fundamentally altered the public understanding of Mr. Epstein or his crimes. Instead, they are replete with chummy exchanges, warm invitations and financial entanglements. Together, the documents show how Mr. Epstein’s connections with people in Hollywood, Wall Street, Washington and fashion thrived even after he became a convicted sex offender in 2008.

In some cases, the documents shed greater light on Epstein associates whose connections to him were already known. Others revealed relationships that had remained hidden for years.
