On August 3rd, 2015, Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, Reid Hoffman, and Mark Zuckerberg had a secret dinner with convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein—who emailed a photo to himself.

A decade later, they’re worth trillions, and effectively control the government.

This meeting and everything since must have hearings, investigations, and when the Democrats get back into power, sweeping prosecutions.

Treachery of the Elites

“This is the Epstein class”: How a single meeting compromised the American oligarchy.

Sergey Belyakov is an FSB-trained former Deputy Minister of Economic Development for the Russian Federation who worked under Kirill Dmitriev—currently Putin’s chief negotiator on Ukraine, and CEO of the Russian Direct Investment Fund. Belyakov was also an associate of Jeffrey Epstein, who helped Epstein navigate through the Russian bureaucracy, secure visas, and obtain introductions to senior Russian officials.

Epstein had Russian visas issued nearly every year going back to 2002, including a 2011 visa sponsored by a group associated with Vympel or “V”—a secretive, elite arm of the FSB associated with covert operations abroad, including assassinations.

Belyakov also acted as a kind of Russian fixer for Epstein—including an incident in July 2015 when Epstein asked for help with “a russian girl from moscow” who was blackmailing his rich New York friends.

Epstein’s request came two weeks after Palantir founder Peter Thiel met alone with Belyakov in New York City at Epstein’s urging. Thiel and Epstein had ongoing contact by email, phone, and in person meetings from 2012 until Epstein’s arrest seven years later.

The Honeytrap

Three weeks later, on 8/3/15, there was an extraordinary, secret meeting between several oligarchs currently on track to be worth trillions of dollars and effectively control the federal government, including: Thiel, Elon Musk, Reid Hoffman (PayPal, LinkedIn), Mark Zuckerberg—and Jeffrey Epstein.

Epstein took this photo and emailed it to himself, apparently covertly, while he was seated next to Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Facebook, whose company had just gone public a few years earlier. Thiel, the first investor in Facebook, was still on the Board of Directors.

Regardless of what they actually talked about, this photo by itself objectively compromises everyone in the room.

Think about it. Why would Epstein send the photo to himself during the meeting since it was already on his phone? Because he wanted contemporaneous proof that he was there in the room—a convicted pedophile, with American billionaires.

Imagine the leverage this meeting gave Epstein and the Russians over Thiel, Zuckerberg, Musk, and Hoffman. It would have been immense.

While Epstein and the oligarchs may not have gone to the meeting to discuss the best way to dismantle the post-WWII world order, topple American democracy, and enslave us all through a techno-fascist surveillance state, that is nevertheless their current trajectory.

Therefore, knowing how this meeting metastasized into the current national and global crisis is crucial to setting the world back on its axis, if we ever can.

$12 Trillion for Ukraine

As an example of why we must not ignore this history anymore, it is currently being reported by Zelenskyy himself that Donald Trump is being sold a “package” of 12 trillion dollars worth of “economic cooperation” by Kirill Dmitriev, Sergey Belyakov’s old boss.

“[Ukrainian] Intelligence showed me the so-called 'Dmitriev package' that he presented in the US – the volume there is about 12 trillion dollars. This is supposedly a package of economic cooperation between America and Russia. That is, we hear about the probability of such or similar bilateral documents between America and Russia."

Note that $12 trillion is almost six times the gross domestic product of Russia. It’s absurd to think Putin could offer Trump anything like that, and—besides being an instantly impeachable offense—entertaining a deal like this smacks of an old man being conned by a timeshare salesman.

ZOHRAN MAMDANI READS JOHN KENNEDY’S “RESUME” LIVE — CNN SILENT FOR 11 SECONDS

Jake Tapper asked with a grin:

“Senator Kennedy says you’re emotional and need to ‘do your homework.’ Thoughts, Zohran?”

Mamdani didn’t flinch.

He pulled out a single sheet titled: KENNEDY’S GREATEST HITS.

The studio froze.

With calm precision, Mamdani read:

Louisiana: bottom 5 in infrastructure for a decade.

Twenty years in Washington: zero major infrastructure bills.

Talks about EVs: votes against every EV initiative.

Criticizes supply chains: backed policies that broke them.

Claims to defend rural America: state broadband near the bottom.

Says others need homework: state full of potholes.

Mamdani folded the paper and delivered the blow:

“Jake, I did my homework. When Senator Kennedy can fix his own state’s roads, water, and power grid, then he can lecture anyone. Until then—bless his heart.”

Eleven seconds of stunned silence.

Producers panicked.

The internet exploded — 97 million views in hours.

#DoYourHomeworkKennedy took over every platform.

Kennedy’s office called it “disrespectful.”

Mamdani posted the folded paper with one caption:

“Disrespect is pretending to be an expert while your own infrastructure collapses.”

One sheet. One politician. Eleven seconds.

The internet never recovered.

 From @I Fucking Love Australia

"So France just ripped out every American tech platform from their entire government. Microsoft Teams? Gone. Zoom? Fuck off. Gmail? Au revoir, dickhead.

That's 2.5 million French workers no longer using American software. France is saving 30 million dollars a year that was flowing to Silicon Valley. Germany's ditching Microsoft, saving 15 million euros. Austria, Denmark, Switzerland - all jumping ship. This is BILLIONS walking out the door. *Sidenote* (this is set to take effect in 2027)

And why? Because you absolute muppets elected a guy so fucking unhinged that Europe decided depending on American technology is a national security threat.

Trump's whole thing was bringing jobs back to America, right? Making America Great Again? Instead, this spray-tanned dipshit has fucked American tech companies so badly that Europe's spending billions to build competitors. He's literally creating rivals to Microsoft and Google through pure incompetence.

He threatened NATO allies like they're real estate he can flip, and now they're building their own internet. Microsoft's desperately trying to calm everyone down while their biggest export market walks away.

China and Russia are fucking THRILLED. Putin's praising Trump's chaos. Trump's doing more damage to American economic dominance than any foreign adversary ever could.

And the worst part? Seventy-five million Americans looked at this dumpster fire and voted for it TWICE. You elected someone so spectacularly stupid that he convinced Europe to ditch American products and build their own.

Congratulations, Trump voters. You wanted to own the libs. Instead you owned American companies out of billions, destroyed American credibility, and handed economic opportunities to our competitors.

You voted for a Mango Mussolini Oompa Loompa motherfucker with the geopolitical sophistication of a swamp turd, and now American tech companies are paying the price.

France is giving America the finger. And honestly? Trump fucking earned it."

 

These are not just uniforms, they’re reminders. Reminders of how white supremacy has hidden itself behind religion, law, and state power, claiming God’s name while denying God’s image in black bodies.

From the hood to the pulpit. From the bench to the badge. From “law and order” to “Christian values.”

Too often, the Church has been silent, or worse, sanctified injustice, confusing power with righteousness and control with holiness.

But Jesus never aligned Himself with oppression. He stood with the crucified, not the crucifies.

Any Christianity that excuses racism, blesses brutality, or defends systems that harm the least of these is not the Gospel, it’s a distortion of it.

The Church must repent, resist, and return to the liberating Jesus who came “to set the oppressed free.”

The MAGA cult wants you to believe that the people in the image do not exist. They want you to believe that gun ownership on the left is nearly non-existent, and that those on the left who DO own firearms are certainly not proficient with them. They don't want you to believe this to convince YOU — they want you to believe this because they are f***ing terrified of what's in this image.

This is a counterprotest organized by a John Brown Gun Club chapter. There was a MAGA demonstration going on, and they showed up and made their presence known. There was no violence that day. And if I had to make an educated guess, I'd say these folks being armed is a major reason there was no violence. Because again, MAGA is a movement for cowards.

The simple FACT is that most right-wing nuts only feel tough when they have the upper hand. When they see photos like this, they have to call them fake, minimize their meaning, or claim these people couldn't possibly know how to use firearms. Because when the field is level, those on the right are absolutely scared out of their miniscule, drug-addled brains.

Let's be honest, the entire conservative movement is about fear. They project masculinity and courage — particularly on Facebook — but every belief they have stems from a fear of something. They create their own reality. It's why elections are "rigged," news is "fake," science is "biased," education is "indoctrination," and protesters are "paid."

Are there tough guys on the right? Absolutely. But the feigned toughness and masculinity you see on Facebook? The little men claiming the folks in this image would be dispatched posthaste? The ones who slide into the comments and your inbox with threats — convincing themselves they're tough because they talked trash on FACEBOOK?

That makes up the MAJORITY of MAGA. For f*** sake, look at their leader: a flabby, old man who has to pay for sex and never had to work a day in his life. That's why they NEED this image to be fake. They NEED these gun owners to be inexperienced. They NEED those rifles to be .22s or "dildos" (yep, that's a common reply from them in my comments).

Furthermore, they need an armed left to not exist... because if one does, there's nothing that makes them more dangerous than us. And in their petrified little brains, that's more terrifying than a familial blood test at a MAGA themed wedding.

Get armed. Get trained. Stand back and stand by.

 

United States Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and Jeffrey Epstein owned a business together years after Epstein was found guilty of trafficking minors the first time in 2008.

The problem? Lutnick has now been caught lying about not only his dealings with Epstein but clearly never "parted ways" like he has claimed on camera, has also been to the island and has spent significant time with Epstein. Thanks to the files he has been now caught lying about all of it.

Lutnick and Epstein each signed on behalf of limited liability companies on Dec. 28, 2012. They acquired stakes in a advertising technology company called Adfin.

Epstein and Lutnick continued to maintain their relationship for years after this including emails showing them making plans and meeting up. In December of 2012 Lutnick brought his family including their four children to visit Epstein Island.

As a Reminder Epstein also used apps like Signal and WhatApp that delete your messages within hours of being read. We are also waiting on 3 million more Epstein documents from our DOJ as well.

Lutnick needs to resign immediately and our DOJ and FBI are comromised.

 

Senator Ruben Gallego just laid out the most powerful plan yet to stop Trump from stealing the 2026 midterms—and it's breathtaking in its simplicity.

If Trump tries to "nationalize the vote" and rig our elections, Gallego says we shut it ALL down. A general strike. Nationwide.

"If you're a pilot, do not show up. If you drive a train, do not show up. If you're a teacher, do not show up. We grind the country to a halt."

And here's the part that should make every billionaire nervous: "If we have to destroy the stock market to save democracy, we need to accept that. The richest and most powerful people in the world need to understand that that is a real possibility. There is no economic stability without democratic stability."

This is what real resistance looks like. Not just protest. Not just hashtags. Total shutdown.

The message to Trump is clear: Try to steal our democracy, and we'll make sure you have nothing left to rule over.

Senator just unveiled the plan to SHUT DOWN THE COUNTRY if Trump rigs 2026:
