The David Knight Show (02/16/2026) dissects Ghislaine Maxwell’s possible post-prison identity changes amid Epstein revelations, exposing alleged ties between Peter Thiel, CIA Director Bill Burns, and ritualistic abuse networks since 9/11. Trump’s $10B IRS lawsuit clashes with his role in leaked Palantir surveillance data, while his dissolved oversight boards enable unchecked AI-mRNA weapons programs like Oracle’s "Stargate." Steve Bannon’s Epstein PR push and attacks on Pope Francis mirror systemic elite manipulation—from Gates’ ResearchGate to tech censorship—proving complicity trumps accountability. [Automatically generated summary]
In a world of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
It's the David Knight Show.
As the clock strikes 13, it's Monday the 16th of February.
You're our Lord, 2026.
Well, even though the Dow is over 50,000, people are still losing big jobs.
Some are going to prison, except in the USA, where the cover-up and the protection continues.
Now we have a new issue here.
Is Ghelane Maxwell even in jail after she made her video appearance to the House committee?
Did she get a nose job at Club Fed?
Obama says aliens are real?
He's been told.
Well, maybe they are more real than the person taking Ghelane's place, but demonic, just the same.
And we see that the means of defense abroad have become weapons of tyranny at home.
Palantir has been hacked, says Kim.com.
And he says that Palantir is taking Epstein's place.
And we have Trump criticized for perhaps the only good thing he's done.
Stay with us.
We'll be right back.
Well, there was an interesting Valentine's story over the weekend.
Regardless of what you think about Egene Carroll, you got to say that Trump is just stepping in it over and over again.
Perhaps it was somebody in his organization that did this.
Remember, he had a $5 million civil case that he lost, finding him liable for sexually assaulting and then defaming her.
And then he doubled down and they more than doubled down.
He got another $83 million put against him.
Well, this is something that the Trump organization thought would be a good idea to send out on Valentine's Day.
And I got to say, even though I've not made any claims and never will about Trump sexually assaulting me, I thought this would be pretty creepy to receive unless you are deep inside the Trump cult.
Look at this card that he sent out.
Is everything okay?
I sent you a love letter, but I haven't heard back.
It's Valentine's Day.
And then he puts your name in there, Eugene.
I love you, and I was pretty sure you loved me back, he says.
It is an open love letter to his supporters.
Before you read my letter, do you still love me?
Yeah, after all I've done for Jeffrey Epstein and the pedophiles, do you still love me?
Have I lost your support?
He's getting kind of insecure, I guess.
But anyway, she received that.
And so she thought it was particularly strange.
She says, this is a real email.
No, I did not sign up on this mailing list.
And I got to say, even if you did, it's all about him, isn't it?
I've never seen anything so crazy as the relentless self-aggrandizement and ego of Donald Trump.
After being found to have sexually assaulted her, Trump was then ordered to pay an $83 million judgment, a judgment that his legal team has been desperately trying to overturn and by submitting false information to the Supreme Court, says Ross Story.
No fan of Donald Trump either.
But again, you got to question that as why they would even send that to their supporters.
As I said, $50,000 Dow doesn't cut it for a lot of people.
And Bondi thinks that that's just fine.
We don't have to worry about the Epstein people because, hey, we're making lots of money.
You know, the same ethics that the Epstein crowd had themselves.
Satanic Ethics and Power00:06:06
Who cares about these kids?
We're using them for what we want, money, power, control, that type of thing.
Well, Kathy Rumler, who was tied to the Obama administration and was also at Goldman Sachs, after her ties to Epstein have been disclosed in this latest file dump, evidently $50,000 DAO is not enough to get Goldman Sachs to ignore what's going on with Epstein.
It is kind of interesting, isn't it?
How Republicans and Trump and people in America really aren't paying the price, really, for the most part.
We're seeing this happening in the UK.
We're seeing it happen in the EU, but there was a crude email exchange that evidently was the final straw.
By the way, as one person pointed out, she's a criminal lawyer.
Why didn't she look more at his recent conviction when she metaphorically got into bed with him?
Well, it kind of reminds me of Better Call Saul, right?
He says, you need a criminal lawyer.
Not somebody that handles crimes, but somebody who maybe is a partner in them.
Well, the Epstein files don't expose a sex trafficker, folks.
They expose a global network of satanic people who rape and kill children for supernatural power.
That's the headline from Brian Shohave and the opinion piece of another writer who writes on Substack, who calls himself Wise Wolf, but he's not Tony Ardeman.
This is not Tony moonlighting here, Wise Wolf Gold.
Tony's got more than enough to do to keep up with his hyperinflation and gold and silver.
But everybody, every last one of them, writes Brian Shohave, is jamming this thing into a box marked sex trafficking because that's familiar and safe.
And it implies that the system still works and the FBI is going to ride in on a white horse and fix it.
Except criminals don't build temples.
Criminals don't name bank accounts after Canaanite gods.
Yeah, there's an interesting revelation, one of these things, where he had a bank account that was called Ball, B-A-L-L, B-A-A-L, which I've always pronounced as Bail.
But anyway, that was explained away by the fact checkers as simply an OCR mistake.
Is it?
Because those same fact checkers went on to say, because there's this conspiracy theory that children were sacrificed to Baal and to Moloch, there's no conspiracy theory about that at all.
It's documented evidence of the massive areas where they did the child sacrifice, the bones that are there, the toffits that are there.
And that is an archaeological fact.
And yet, if they dismiss that as conspiracy theory, I have to say, well, I wonder if they're right about the bank account either.
I haven't seen the evidence myself, so I'm just giving you both sides of it.
Criminals want money, power, they steal, they lie, they kill for it, the way humans always have.
But none of that requires a dedicated ritual infrastructure on a private island.
What the Epstein files describe is something that uses crime the way that the church uses a collection plate.
The crime funds the operation, but the operation is worship.
You can ignore the temple.
You can ignore the bank account, literally named Baal.
You can ignore the taxonomy of child destruction organized around, quote, unlocking supernatural abilities, as they put there.
But you can ignore that every single one of these elements maps onto a system of religious practice documented in scripture, documented in archaeology, documented in the historical record for 3,000 years.
You can claim that's a conspiracy theory.
You can ignore all of it.
However, I think Christians know better, should know better.
Witchcraft in America means crystals.
It means teenage girls on TikTok burning sage and reading tarot.
It means Stevie Nixon and Harry Potter and a pentagram on a hot topic t-shirt.
Nobody asked who benefits from making the real thing look like a joke.
And that really is what that's about.
And that is one of the key ways to cover up what you're doing is to throw something out there to discredit it.
You know, like nobody died type of thing.
There is a demonic intelligence with a will and an appetite.
And the transaction is simple.
You feed it what it wants and it gives you what you want.
Power, wealth, protection, influence.
The currency it accepts, the only currency it's ever accepted in any culture, any century, where this practice surfaced, is the suffering of children.
The younger, the better.
The more important, I'm sorry, the more innocent, the better.
It's not poetry.
It is the terms of the deal.
The Epstein files contain correspondence about a classic stage three, quote unquote.
That's their term.
A young girl who is in, quote, classic stage three, whose sexual abuse has caused her to develop, quote, special and supernatural abilities, unquote.
Not a casual mention.
It is a staging system, a clinical taxonomy, methodical framework for the progressive destruction of children built on the premise that shattering a child's mind opens access to something beyond the material world.
Where have we seen this before?
Pillars of Power00:07:18
Anybody that's paid any attention, let's see.
I kind of think, thank you for the tip.
He says, what do you think of doing a daily Mark Levin impersonation?
This is crazy.
Stop talking about Epstein.
We got to get back to something important here.
Like how you can die for Israel.
Yeah, that's right.
Well, The bottom line is: if you go back and you look at it, it's not just the people who themselves take their satanic stuff very seriously.
It's also the CIA.
Look at MK Ultra and the monarch program and things like that, how they worked on kids for this kind of stuff.
The overlap to the intelligence agencies, folks, is very, very telling.
They operate in the dark in secrecy, and we have seen elements of what they do.
And I'm talking about even with the NSA, remember, Colonel Michael Aquino of the NSA, who went on Oprah and talked about how he'd set up the satanic religion, the Temple of Set.
And he came on and looked like Eddie Munster with his bangs and all this other kind of stuff.
But he was protected by the intelligence community, specifically the NSA, when he was credibly accused of satanic child ritual abuse at the Presidio in California.
And it was the grandson of a guy who was the chaplain there.
And he said, There, there goes Michael.
He said, How do you know that guy?
Because he knew who he was.
And he goes, I've been to his house.
He's got a room that is all black.
And so the chaplain went to the police and they went there and he did have a room that was all black.
And then they transferred him out of the jurisdiction in California so that nothing could happen to him, just like they did these ICE people in Minneapolis.
It's not sex trafficking.
That is the thing described in Exodus, Deuteronomy, Leviticus, Ezekiel, Jeremiah, Psalms, translated into sorcery in your English Bible, sanded down by centuries of church politics until it sounds like a fairy tale instead of a federal crime in progress.
Archaeologists have pulled thousands of urns from Tophitz at Carthage.
Each urn holds the cremated bones of a child sacrificed to Baal, catalogued.
The Hebrew word tof means drum.
Why would they use that for these burial places?
Because the children would scream as they were burning them alive on this altar.
And so they would beat the drums very, very loudly to try to drown out the screaming.
The Israelite prophets weren't screaming about Baal worship because it was exotic.
They were screaming because it had eaten its way into the palace and to the upper levels.
You had even King Solomon involved in that.
Kings, judges, priests of God's own nation had started buying Baal's deal because Baal's deal was simpler.
You hand over a child and you get what you want.
No commandments, no moral law, no accountability, just commerce.
This is a God that you can do business with.
The art of the deal, right?
With Satan.
That religion never stopped.
The entities on the other end of the deal didn't die when Carthage burned or when Rome baptized itself or when cathedrals went up across Europe.
Mystery cults carried it through Greece and Rome.
Gnostic sects smuggled it into the Christian era.
Hermetic lodges kept it alive through the Renaissance under enough layers of symbolism to survive the Inquisition.
Freemasonry built its pillars, the same twin pillars into the architecture of Western government.
And when the CIA started researching trauma-based mind control and calling it MK Ultra, they weren't inventing anything.
They were translating a 3,000-year-old liturgy into the language of psychiatry.
And folks, you can see that in what Epstein is doing.
And why would we be surprised?
Because of his involvement with the CIA Mossad.
Of course, that is what they're doing.
Where children are destroyed, where they name their bank accounts after the same god that those kids in Carthage were burned for.
It's not an aberration.
It's a franchise operation.
That's exactly what this is.
So this guy who writes this, his name is Wise Wolf.
He goes, that's a substack.
He says, I spent years working for and finance for billionaires.
The one thing these people never do is waste capital.
Every dollar deployed, every risk assumed, gets measured against expected returns with a kind of precision that would make a NASA engineer nervous.
These are the most efficient resource allocators the human race has ever produced.
These same people spent billions building and maintaining a global network of ritual child abuse with dedicated architectural infrastructure and multi-generational backing from the intelligence agencies of multiple nations.
And they have done it for decades.
They didn't build temples for fun.
They didn't classify stages of child trauma for an intellectual hobby.
They didn't name bank accounts after Ball as a gag.
That's right.
This doesn't hinge on whether or not that was a correct name or not.
We have seen all this activity from the CIA, from the NSA, from the intelligence communities.
And so the system is religion, and the religion is the system.
You see how that operates?
It doesn't belong to either party, and that's the whole trick.
Clinton flew on the plane.
Trump was in the emails, and of course he was in the beauty pageants, the teen beauty pageants, with Jeffrey Epstein as well.
The bushes are in the files.
The gates are in the files.
Intelligence connections span every administration since the Cold War.
If your first instinct is to sort these names into my team and their team, you're doing the religion's work for it.
You're fighting with the other half of the country about which puppet is dirtier instead of looking up at the hand that is controlling both of them.
Red versus blue is not politics.
It's a containment system.
Create two teams and fund them both.
That's what I've said for the longest time.
It's like professional wrestling, or it's like who owns the NFL, right?
You got these different teams that are fighting each other, and yet, you know, it all converges up at the top.
You see, trust the plan really should be read as trust colon the plan.
That was the plan, to get you to trust them.
And trust them in the sense of the trust which Felix Dershinsky ran at the beginning of the Soviet Union.
Ruling Class Dynamics00:10:26
It was a trap.
If the ruling class is a priesthood, the policies aren't policies, they're rituals.
The wars aren't wars, they're offerings.
The government, the governance isn't governance, it is liturgy.
And you are not a citizen.
You're an unwilling congregant in a church that you never joined.
I think that is very true here.
These people are not pretending they believe in the entities that they serve.
They demonstrate that belief the way that belief has always been demonstrated.
Through sacrifice, through infrastructure, through discipline, through the willingness to do things so terrible that people can't metabolize the information even when the federal government hands it to them in a PDF.
They look at you and they see a person who won't fight, who calls evidence a conspiracy theory.
Who would rather believe that the world is run by flawed but rational people rather than face the possibility that it is run by sorcerers who rape and kill children as an act of worship?
Who will end this feel something cold move through their chest and close the tab?
Every time a decent person looks away because it's too dark, every time a believer shrugs and says, God's in control, like that's a reason to sit down instead of a reason to stand up, every time a skeptic refuses to consider this occult dimension because it offends a materialistic worldview that the perpetrators themselves openly reject, the priests of this religion take it as proof that their God is stronger than yours,
that their faith produces results and yours produces excuses.
The darkness is winning because the light won't show up.
The only thing that proves them wrong is when people like you and me finally do something about it.
That is 100% right.
Truly is he hit the nail on the head.
Christians shouldn't be surprised at all this.
As I said, this is the, as a matter of fact, here's another one from the Epic Times by Patrick Keeney basically saying the same thing.
This guy was put up by Brian Shahave, who has a substack that is Wise Wolf.
He said it.
This guy is saying it.
Last week, I talked about J.D. Hall saying it.
The answer, when you look at all this stuff, Christians shouldn't be surprised by this.
Our response should be, of course, that's what's happening.
If you believe the Bible, of course, that's what's happening.
And so the unsettling truths the Epstein files reveal about power and privilege is the one coming from the Epic Times.
Again, third article along these lines in just the last couple of days.
Some people are getting it.
I hope you get it.
To focus exclusively on the sexual scandal is to miss the deeper, more unsettling lesson that this all reveals.
What the Epstein files expose above all is the social and moral estrangement of American elites from the people that they claim to govern.
Epstein was a node within a closed world of wealth, influence, and immunity.
The scandal is not that powerful people behaved badly in private.
History shows many such examples.
But they did so with a confidence rooted in the belief that they were insulated from the consequences of their behavior.
And Trump and Bondi and Kash Patel and Mike Johnson and the whole crew is showing that they were exactly right.
They knew there would be no consequences for them.
Why?
Because this cabal that's running this stuff runs all the governments.
They pick the politicians that go into place so they know these people are going to protect them.
That should be your takeaway from this system.
You know, it's one thing to run for political office and try to get into the system as a third party or an independent.
Then you realize just how closed that whole system is and how corrupt it is from a political standpoint.
But this is much broader, much more important.
It shows the spiritual dimensions of this corruption.
And so they moved through a transnational elite culture that had largely severed itself from ordinary moral constraints, from any legal accountability, and from any civic obligation.
So again, their guardians and protectors are the people like Trump and Bondi and Kash Patel and Mike Johnson.
They are the guardians of the pedophiles.
That's their watch where this is happening.
But it happens with both groups.
In a 1994 book, The Revolt of the Elites, the author Lash argued that the modern American ruling class had stopped seeing themselves as stewards of a shared national project.
Instead, they increasingly saw themselves as a mobile, globalized caste, educated in the same institutions and moving through the same cities, governed by the same tastes and primarily accountable only to each other.
Citizenship was seen as a minor inconvenience.
And so again, is this not the attribute that we see of those that are in the Trump regime?
Look at people like Stephen Miller, Christy Noam, Pam Bondi.
Are they only accountable to each other?
Do they know that they can do whatever they wish without any consequences?
The Epstein Affair reads like a case study in that book's thesis, The Revolt of the Elites.
So he says, in terms of Epstein, he functioned as a social broker among financiers, politicians, academics, royalty, and celebrities.
Yet in private, they inhabited a world defined by indulgence, entitlement, and contempt for limits.
Now, this guy doesn't see the true spiritual dimensions of this, but certainly you can see the political dimensions of it.
The governing classes of advanced democracies increasingly inhabit a world defined by mobility, abstraction, and insulation from consequence.
Their loyalties are professional rather than civic, global rather than national, managerial rather than moral, because they are a part of Satan's kingdom.
They experience society less as a shared inheritance than as a set of problems to be administered at a distance.
Those great policies affecting immigration, policing, education, public health, national security rarely face the consequences themselves.
They do not send their children to failing schools.
They do not live in high-crime neighborhoods.
They don't compete for scarce housing or navigate broken public institutions.
Their lives are shielded by wealth, location, private services, and increasingly by the law itself.
Now, you look at the difference between you had 40 some-odd thousand people who had their information leaked by the IRS, by a contractor for the IRS that worked for Hamilton Booze.
Trump was one of them.
He sues for $10 billion, sues the IRS, which is underneath him and the Department of Justice that would have to resist and fight that lawsuit is under him.
So he just hands himself $10 billion for it.
There are even billionaires.
As a matter of fact, that was a big part of the reason for the leak.
There are other billionaires, many of them who had net worth many times, 10 times or more than Donald Trump's, and yet they simply wanted to have an acknowledgement of this, and there was no monetary lawsuit there.
Trump, as president, is not working to fix this.
He's working to profit over this.
This happened in his first administration.
And now in his second administration, he's paying himself for what he was responsible for in the first administration.
You want to talk about hypocrisy, impunity, no accountability.
What enrages the public is not prurience, but recognition.
The scandal resonates because it confirms a growing suspicion among ordinary people that there is one moral universe for the governing class and another one for everybody else.
We get no-knock SWAT team raids where they throw flash grenades in him many times against people they got the wrong house, or they throw the flash grenade in the crib of a baby.
Nothing happens to them, but if they show up with a warrant and they search Trump's Mar-Lago, that's another multi-billion dollar lawsuit right there.
So Lesh warned that the ruling class would eventually forfeit legitimacy, not because of ideology, but because of character.
Trump is a character.
Doesn't have any, but he is a character.
Their authority rests on little more than coercion and spectacle.
The Epstein file should therefore be read less as an aberration than as a symptom.
The Epstein files reveal a governing class that has lost the habits of self-restraint that once justified its power and the sense of common fate that once bound leaders to citizens.
The Epstein files are more accurately seen as a disclosure.
We're not talking about disclosure with a capital D, which the UFO crowd has always been all about.
And Obama has seized the headlines with that.
Folks, that's just more distraction.
You think Obama is on the other side of Trump?
Well, there is internal competition with these people, but they answer to the same people.
If the Epstein affair provokes lasting anger, it's because it crystallizes a truth that many citizens already sense, that the people shaping the future live in a world apart, governed by different rules or no rules at all, and increasingly incapable of moral seriousness.
No society can long endure that division without consequences.
As a matter of fact, you think that this all ended with Epstein?
Hackers Allegedly Found00:03:41
And do you understand that this, of course, is still going on?
Kim.com put up a post.
It was yesterday.
And he said, Palantir was allegedly hacked.
An AI agent was used to gain super user access.
And here's what the hackers allegedly found.
Peter Thiel and Alex Karp commit mass surveillance of world leaders and titans of industry on a massive scale.
They have thousands of hours of transcribed and searchable conversations of Trump, JD Vance, Elon Musk, and others.
They have backdoored devices, cars, and jets of world leaders.
They've accumulated the biggest archive of blackmail material.
Palantir is creating nuclear and bioweapon capabilities for Ukraine and is working closely with the CIA to defeat Russia.
They believe they are one year away.
They plan to achieve this by keeping Russia busy with meaningless peace negotiations.
And you look at this and you say, well, how do they think that they're going to win this?
Well, again, nuclear biological, but also when you look at the asymmetric warfare of drones and drone swarms and things like that, that is an equalizer.
Palantir is responsible for the majority of Palestinian deaths in Gaza as well.
They have developed the AI targeting for Israel.
And I got to say, with all the kids that have been killed, maybe they need to adjust their targeting algorithm, unless killing kids is the plan.
You know, we've had situations, and of course, this is something I've mentioned many times.
You look at World War II.
Once they got to the point where they could deliver bombs by air, Hitler decided that he could demoralize the enemy by bombing London.
Instead, what that did was galvanize them.
But that didn't change the calculation of governments since then.
Governments continue to bomb civilian populations deliberately rather than trying to follow what we'd always considered to be the rules of a just war, which would mean that you try to minimize the war, that you only fight a war in defense of human life, not as aggression, and that the goal is to end that as soon as possible to minimize or eliminate civilian casualties.
The wars that we've had since then have all been targeting civilian populations, just like the Nazis did.
And it has backfired on Israel as well.
And so I don't know if that was deliberate or just bad software.
Palantir is an arm of the CIA.
Yes, we know that and have known that for a very long time.
That was where their first contracts were.
And that is really their bread and butter still.
All the data from international clients is copied into the CIA spy cloud.
Palantir has become the most dangerous company in the world.
If you work there, you have the right to know that this is what Palantir AI is used for, perhaps without your knowledge.
Palantir data that the hackers allegedly gathered will be given to Russia and or China.
I was chosen, says Kim.com, as a trusted partner for this publication.
I'm not involved in the Palantir hack and I don't know the hackers, but I know what the hack, that the hack has happened.
And so, again, is that a surprise?
Something Went Wrong, Retry00:04:27
Not really.
People rarely mention that there is no oversight to Palantir, commented one person on that tweet from Kim.com.
The committee that was created to oversee companies like Palantir was dissolved by Trump on the day that he took office.
And again, do you think they really had any effective oversight before Trump?
I don't.
However, Trump is not taking any chances.
And it shows us that he is escalating this to a new level, the same way that he did the deficit, the debt creation.
The deficit was exploding under multiple presidencies and nobody was doing anything about it.
But when he got in, he set it on a completely new slope, a new rate of increase.
And that's what we're seeing with the tyranny as well.
And so Thomas Massey had this to say about what is going on with the importance of all this and how it is essentially a litmus test.
Let me see if I can find that here.
The question a few years from now is, where were you on the Epstein issue?
Just like before this Epstein thing, I think the question for me was, where were you during COVID?
Were you in favor of the lockdowns and the mandates and the free money?
Were you silent or were you opposed to these things?
And the same thing goes on Epstein.
Were you for releasing the files or were you calling it a hoax or were you just too chicken to come out and say anything?
And I think, unfortunately, a lot of the politicians right now who are being considered the future of the GOP are either in the category of agreeing that it's a hoax or just keeping their mouth shut because they don't have the courage and the political will to do the right thing.
And so I don't think you should trust those people later.
And it's the same goes for the news sources and the influencers on the internet.
If a year ago they were for releasing the files and now they don't even want to talk about it, that the files are released, then you know they're part of the problem.
They're not going to be part of any solution going forward.
If you can't take up for kids who are being sex trafficked, who will you take up for?
Yeah, and if you can't stand up when we've got churches shut down, people mass businesses being destroyed, laying the foundation for people being injected with an experimental DNA-altering drug, coerced into doing that.
If you can't do that, when are you going to stand up?
That was the time to stand up.
By the way, you know, when I saw this, I tweeted out, I said, you need to read Alex Karp's book that I talked about a few months ago.
You know, he wrote a book called The Technological Republic.
And I said, this is basically Mein Kampf for the technocrats.
And it really is.
It truly is really disgusting to see that a person who thinks like this has so much power.
But then I guess the Christian response would be, of course, he's got that kind of power because he thinks like that.
And so I tweeted that out, and I went back later because there was a video clip that I'd seen.
I forgot to download it of Alan Dershwitz talking about how Epstein was not a pedophile.
That's right.
Alan Derschwitz said that, his defense attorney.
Basically, he said, you know, he pleaded guilty to just one case, and that was sex with a girl who is 17 years and 10 months old.
He's not a pedophile.
Yeah, spoken like his defense attorney.
And so I went back to look for that and I go back to search for it and I get the message from X, something went wrong.
Retry.
So I've tried many times to keep getting that.
I tried searching for some other stuff.
Everything that I did, I did that.
Even when I went, then I closed that tab, started it up again, and it wouldn't even show me my feed.
It would say something went wrong, retry.
So I thought, well, is X down?
So I tried getting on Grok and I could get on Grok and I said, Grok is X down.
Steve Bannon's Cryptocurrency Concerns00:15:27
No, it's not down.
I said, well, here's what's happening.
It says, well, that's about you personally.
It could be something's happening with your browser or this or that, but we do have shadow restrictions on people.
And sometimes that's just put on for a short period of time.
So did I get a shadow restriction for talking about Palantir or Peter Thiel or any of this stuff?
Stranger things have happened, quite frankly.
But this is where the entire enterprise is headed, by the way.
And what they're talking about in terms of the thing that Trump shut down on day one, yeah, day one, he shuts down the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board, an independent agency to advise the executive branch on protecting privacy and civil liberty.
Well, of course, Trump's not interested in protecting civil liberty or privacy.
He's interested in attacking those things.
So that's got to go.
So his first day, he shuts that down.
And what else did he do?
Well, he has a press conference in the Oval Office with Larry Ellison of Oracle and the CEO of SoftBank, a large bank out of Japan that likes to fund technological issues.
And so they talk about their Stargate program, right?
How they're going to combine AI with mRNA to have some kind of a custom weapon for each and every one of us.
How about that?
So there's currently no acting oversight committee at all for anything that Palantir does.
And they are invading our privacy along with all the other institutions and mechanisms that Trump has set up.
And then this also was revealed in the Epstein files, that on the 13th anniversary of 9-11, there was an email from Jeffrey Epstein where they're talking about scheduling him with Bill Burns, director of the CIA.
Very interesting.
When you look at the schedule, this is evidently from his secretary who says, you know, you need to figure out how you're going to schedule in Amy Cassell on Saturday in two days.
You need to figure out how you're going to schedule her in.
Here's what you've already committed to.
Well, Amy Cassell is his interior designer.
I guess she's the one who comes up with the massage rooms and the surveillance bedrooms and all the rest of this stuff.
Anyway, you got to schedule her sometime on Saturday.
And he already had scheduled from 2 to 4 p.m., Peter Thiel.
And then from 3 to 4 p.m., Bill Burns, the director of the CIA, would come in and Peter Thiel would be in that meeting as well.
So he's going to meet with Peter Thiel for one hour.
Then he's going to have one hour with Peter Thiel and the CIA director, Bill Burns.
And then Peter Thiel is going to leave and then he'll have a final hour meeting with Bill Burns alone, the director of the CIA.
What do you think about that?
Do you see how Peter Thiel, CIA, the technocracy, Jeffrey Epstein, how these people are all joined at the hip?
Folks, that is exactly what is happening.
And so this also came out over the weekend.
Steve Bannon courted Epstein in his efforts to, quote, take down Pope Francis.
How's he going to try to take down Pope Francis?
Anyway, he doesn't like Pope Francis because he says Pope Francis is against his nationalist agenda.
And we all know that Francis was a Jesuit Marxist.
Nevertheless, don't let this smoke and mirrors from Steve Bannon hide the fact that he was working as Epstein's PR guy.
His mission, as you see in other emails, is to rehabilitate Jeffrey Epstein's image.
That was what Steve Bannon was doing.
Why would anybody listen to him?
Again, just listen to what Thomas Massey said.
This is a litmus test, folks, for people that you listen to, for people that you get your news from, for politicians that you put your hope in.
This is a litmus test.
And by the way, no politician should be the essence of your hope.
Our hope is in Christ.
And yeah, it is all God's plan, but as that guy said, it's a reason not to sit down and shut up, but it's a reason to stand up and shout about this stuff.
The released documents from the DOJ appear to show that Epstein had been helping Bannon to build his movement.
And of course, Bannon was helping Epstein to rehabilitate his image.
And so when Bannon shares with Epstein an article about the Vatican condemning populist nationalism, Epstein quoted John Milton's Paradise Lost, where Satan has been cast out of heaven.
And the quote that Epstein sent to Bannon, Epstein said, it's better to reign in hell than to serve in heaven.
And of course, Satan is not reigning in hell, and neither is Epstein if he's even dead.
But that was his whole take.
So he can read the same books that we do, and he gets a completely different take out of it, doesn't he?
Muzzled and muted, Epstein Gates financed research portal to control scientific discourse.
This is from Children's Health Defense.
And what they saw was Bill Gates as the gates keeper, right, for science and how they could use that to profit from it.
It's the same thing that we saw in terms of cryptocurrency, for example, right?
As the one person who went deep into the crypto stuff between Epstein and other people, he said, it's not about the code and whether or not the code is open source and trustworthy.
It's not about that at all.
It's about who controls access to this.
Who gets to pick the winners and losers, like Coinbase, for example?
If they pick your cryptocurrency, now your cryptocurrency can be traded.
If they don't recognize you, then that's one way of shutting down a particular cryptocurrency or elevating one.
And that's exactly what they were doing with Bitcoin.
So it's at this level.
And this is the same type of thing that Epstein and Gates are conspiring to do in order to profit by manipulating quote-unquote science, which again is making big money from it and turning it into a kind of perverse religion.
So Gates provided $10 million in funding to ResearchGate in 2013.
It's kind of funny.
You know, we've had all these, we had Watergate, we have all these other gates.
I always tack that on whenever it's a scandal.
And Bill Gates seems to be the essence of every kind of political and scientific scandal, doesn't he?
I guess we could say it's the Gates Gate.
That kind of is all-inclusive of all these different scandals.
But he had one called ResearchGate 2013.
Should be scandalous.
It was a Gates-led funding round that attracted $35 million in investments to ResearchGate that's going to be used to control what is deemed to be acceptable science and doing that in order to make money and have power.
It's not heavy-handed censorship.
It was subtle.
Invisible steering of ideas, trends, and truths.
And that's exactly what they did with crypto.
Subtle, invisible steering of particular crypto currencies.
And Jablanovsky of Children's Health Defense agreed.
He said, algorithmic control is authoritarian control and largely without accountability.
And he compared it to the pandemic era big tech censorship.
That's exactly what it was.
He said, with a few tweaks to the algorithms, Facebook and Google were able to direct and control information that Americans consumed during the so-called pandemic.
Google, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, from which children's health defense was either banned or shadow banned.
And yours truly as well.
So the key architect of the Disinformation Dozen list has now been shown to be a part of the Epstein web and has now resigned.
The 2021 publication of the Disinformation Dozen lists 12 leading online anti-vaxxers.
Five years later, the release of the Epstein files has led to the resignation of one of its architects, Morgan McSweeney.
McSweeney was the chief of staff to UK Prime Minister Kier Starmer.
He resigned Sunday.
In 2018, he co-founded what later became known as the Center for Countering Digital Hate, which published the Disinformation Dozen list.
And again, what does hate have to do with people who are opposed to vaccines?
Nothing, except that it is their common approach to silence any critics.
And again, this is why when we look at what Trump and ICE are doing in these various areas, how they attack people who are filming them, how they wear masks and all the rest of stuff, it is, again, the sign of the heavy-handedness of authoritarianism that they want to shut down any observation, any data about what they're doing, and control the narrative and propagandize you.
And that's all you really need to see.
And then you understand what is happening with these people.
McSweeney's resignation stemmed from his prior support for Petel Mandelson, the former UK ambassador to the U.S., who's implicated in the Epstein files, and showed that Mandelson had shared sensitive government information with Epstein, allowed Epstein to profit significantly, perhaps, or to pass it on to people who could profit significantly, tipping their hand as to what was going to happen, essentially insider trading.
Jerry Maraskin says the Department of Justice was spying on lawmakers who were reviewing the Epstein files.
They set up a room for them to view it, put four terminals, I said, just four terminals, for all the members of Congress to look at 3 million documents.
And he said they were cleverly, clearly monitoring and surveilling the computer searches that we were conducting.
And it was all set up for that, for them to have very close control and surveillance over us.
It's completely obvious to anybody who went over there.
And so they were able to give Pam Bondi briefing materials based on what we'd been looking at.
But in any event, he said, this isn't a game.
It's not a hide and go seek cat and mouse.
We passed a federal law saying release all 6 million Epstein files.
They said, we're going to release three.
The other 3 million are duplicative.
He says, well, if they're duplicative, release them.
But we know they're not because in them are a lot of things that we're specifically looking for, like the trial prosecution memo for the federal case that never happened, where they laid out the entire case that's been ultra-redacted or withdrawn from public view.
There were victim statements that were turned into legal memoranda, which the victims could not find because they're in that 3 million portion that has not been released.
And so they just continue to lie about everything.
It truly is amazing as Thomas Massey said.
He said, I've upset a lot of billionaires.
And he says, I'm kind of concerned over what may be happening.
I'm not feeling suicidal.
Let me see.
This is, here we are.
It's that simple.
Why do you think he is working so hard not to get them released for so many months?
What do you think the real reason is?
These files implicate billionaires and friends of him, of his and political donors that he's trying to protect.
And Epstein also had close ties to our own intelligence agencies and Israel's intelligence agencies.
That's why there's so much effort in trying to stop this.
And I do believe they'll try to stop it somewhere else.
And that's going to backfire on them, too.
Yeah, and of course, you know, you might even have people who are reflexively pushing back against this because their connection to Israel, like Laura Loomer, who sends a little kid to do a man's job.
So this.
Carthen Massey, in the last week, you have called on President Trump to apologize to Barack Obama.
And you're standing here with Congressman Conna at a press conference implying that the president is a pedophile protector.
Are you hating on Trump to try off your CNN?
I didn't crack out.
Oh, really?
Congressman, you need to answer my question.
Your lies, your insults are getting old.
Answer my question.
You don't have anything, kid.
As he says, your voice is cracking.
Your puberty blockers are wearing off here.
Too scared to answer.
Yeah, right.
Keep telling yourself that.
Anyway, he says, I'm not suicidal, said Thomas Messi.
I eat healthy food.
The brakes on my car and truck are in good shape.
I practice good trigger discipline.
I never point a gun at anyone, including myself.
There are no deep pools of water on my farm, and I'm a pretty good swimmer.
So he knows that the knives are out there for him, and there's knives out there from people who really do kill people.
Anyway, he said I was told to ask when phase two is going to come out.
He said, so I asked Pam Bondi that in person very politely.
And she said, there's nothing but child porn left.
It's disgusting.
Nobody would want to see it.
And at that point, I realized that the Trump administration had undertaken a cover-up and had no intention of releasing those files.
He said, if Watergate changed your perception of government, this should definitely do the same thing.
Yeah.
Yeah, you can film this.
So here he is with an interview.
And as he's doing the interview, he gets Trump tweeting at him.
Oh, Republican loser, sanctimonious rhino Congressman Thomas Massey made a total fool of himself yesterday, fighting aimlessly against a hopeless agenda of hate and stupidity, as Moose clearly stated by his crashing job approval numbers in the great Commonwealth of Kentucky.
Well, it's time to raise some more money, I guess.
The president attacked me while we're doing this interview, which is kind of ironic.
President Attacks During Interview00:15:11
And what's he attacking me for?
For trying to get justice for these victims.
And frankly, he cannot deny being part of a cover-up at this point.
I am the leading Republican.
I'm sharing this credit with the Democrat Rokana, who's been with me as a co-lead all the way, but I am the Republican on this.
This is what I'm known for.
And this is why the president is attacking me.
And frankly, his Attorney General did a miserable job yesterday.
She came only with insults instead of answers to our questions.
Which we knew she was going to do.
She has no intention of any answers.
It's all a cover-up.
It really is.
And the Department of Justice is asking you, just trust us after we've been caught in lie after lie after lie.
Remember the failed photo op of MAGA influencers parading a binder filled with public information?
Bondi publicly claimed that she had a list on her desk a year ago.
The DOJ letter declaring the case closed with pages remaining unseen?
Trump calling the whole thing a Democrat hoax.
All of these raise public uncertainty that the Trump regime is not being straight with the nation.
Even Marjorie Taylor Greene has said publicly that Trump fought the hardest to stop the files from being released and called it the biggest political miscalculation of his career.
Each move has been presented as transparency while functioning as delay.
And the cumulative effect is an atmosphere where conspiracy theories don't just survive.
They start to make sense.
When the government doles out information in calculated increments while insisting the public should be satisfied, distrust is not a failure of the audience.
It is the predictable consequence.
Journalists in newsrooms have resisted reaching the cover-up conclusion.
Calling something a cover-up implies intent.
And intent is difficult to prove without internal documents that make motive explicit.
Editors know the legal risk.
They know how to quickly, how quickly a loaded word can damage their credibility if it outruns the evidence.
The professional instinct is to wait for the email, the whistleblower, or the document that removes all doubt.
But the only people who can prove there is, in fact, no cover-up are the very same people accused of running one.
So, again, at some point, it's just like an investigation.
Circumstantial evidence doesn't necessarily prove something, but when there is a preponderance of circumstantial evidence, that is considered to be proof.
And that's what we look at when we look at these conspiracy theories.
The broad outlines are not in dispute.
Congress required disclosure.
Full disclosure has not happened.
The withheld material involves powerful people.
Political leaders are signaling fatigue, even though the public record remains incomplete.
In almost any other context, the alignment of secrecy and convenience would prompt sharper language, not softer phrasing.
And I got to say, in their summary of this, and this is a media item, in their summary of this, where is the victims, right?
Was that sloppy work redacting the perps and yet releasing the names of the victims?
Was that just sloppiness?
Was that stupidity?
Or was that deliberately done?
Was that done as a not-so-veiled threat?
I think that was motivation, quite frankly.
The Epstein files stand apart in one crucial respect.
There is no credible national security interest at stake.
There's no reason to keep this stuff secret.
These records relate to sex trafficking operation and to influential figures who orbited that.
And so, again, national security is always the rationale for these secrecy of these criminals of the CIA.
Now, Bondi says the DOJ is fully complied.
If that's true, the department should welcome independent verification.
If it's not true, only the department would know.
The public is being asked to accept that because the government says so.
There is no independent audit, no outside verification, no mechanism beyond trust.
I just have to say that, you know, the reluctance of the mainstream media, I can't explain it away that way.
I think they have other motives that are there.
Because when you see the government putting out absurd lies that don't even come close to being plausible and doing it repeatedly over and over again, why can't they, why won't they connect the dots for people?
Well, Nancy Mace says this is not going to go away and rejects Bondi's claim that all the Epstein files have been released.
Thomas Massey said, I don't think Pam Bondi has confidence in Pam Bondi.
Certainly she doesn't.
I mean, that's why she behaves the way she does at these hearings.
And then there's Howard Lutnick.
There's a very good article about him on The New American.
And, you know, what I find amazing is the callous way in which some of these people react.
For example, on Fox, you had on the Fox 5, you had the Fox 5 hosts who were giggling and joking about Jeffrey Epstein being a sex rabbi and a fixer.
And when I saw that headline, I thought they said sex rabbit.
I thought was what it was.
That also would apply.
But yeah, he's a sex rabbi.
This is Greg Gutfeld and Jesse Waters making light of all this stuff.
And remember, I pointed out last week that when Pam Bondi was at the hearing, where she was this screaming Karen at everybody, throwing insults at them and refusing to answer any questions, Fox News during those three hours mentioned Jeffrey Epstein three times.
CNN mentioned Jeffrey Epstein during the three hours of the hearings about Jeffrey Epstein documents.
CNN mentioned it 150 times.
And I think it was MSNBC 300 times.
Fox News, three times.
And then their response is to just kind of laugh it off.
At first, you had Kennedy on Fox 5 said that Bondi came off as a shrieking Karen whose performance made her seem, quote, very, very unpersuasive.
Dana Perino agreed.
Jesse Waters then began making jokes, which were amplified by Greg Gutfeld.
Jesse Waters said, well, if you read the Epstein files, Wall Street Journal has done a great job at this.
Epstein got his money from two Jewish billionaires, Lex Wexner and Leon Black, a little bit of money from the Jewish banking dynasty, the Rothschilds in Europe, Waters said.
And it looks like he's mostly just a fixer, a guy who advises.
He helps people with their problems.
Sometimes those problems are, you need a girl.
I guess the emphasis would be on girl, not on woman, right?
And isn't it interesting how Jesse Waters tries to deflect away from Massad?
He'll talk about Jewish billionaires, and he will talk about the Rothschilds, but he won't talk about Massad or the CIA.
And then Kennedy quipped, you know, you need some girls, or you need some penicillin.
And then Greg Gutfeld said, well, he's a sex rabbit.
He should perform at the halftime show next year.
Yes, said Gutfeld.
And CN Waters joked about it.
Dana Prino said, well, that won't be happening as Brian Kilmead cracked something about being hanged from a noose.
This is what you get from Fox News.
Do you think you can trust them?
We report, you decide.
I think you need to decide to get some reporting elsewhere.
Gutfeld said, there's no moral imperative behind this righteousness.
It's only political.
It's obviously just theater.
In other words, there is no moral imperative about a sex trafficking, pedophile ring of blackmail being run by intelligence agencies.
There's no moral imperative.
Look at that.
It's simply political theater, simply a hoax, says Greg Gutfeld.
You're disgusting.
You are a hoax.
You're a failed comedian.
All your glib nonsense.
Just amazing.
No moral imperative, right?
Fox is pure political theater.
And so then he goes on to defend Bondi.
He says, I keep thinking, what would I do if I was there?
It says, I'm just going to go, you're not real.
I'm looking at Raskin.
You're not real.
You're a bot.
You're no better than a bot.
You're programmed by somebody else.
I don't have to respect you, said Gutfeld.
Again, what is he doing?
He's feeding the left, right, red, blue nonsense.
And he's backing this other nonsense and saying, there's no moral imperative to this.
There's no righteousness to try to fix any of this stuff.
Greg Gutfeld, Fox News.
Jesse Waters, Fox News.
So I guess the question is, who programs Gutfeld?
He's a bot.
Can you work out who is programming him?
Is he for real?
No, he's just a bot.
He's a court gesture for pedophiles.
That's what Greg Gutfeld and Jesse Waters are.
It's absolutely disgusting.
And again, you know, people like Megan Kelly, you know, and Alan Derschwitz.
Well, you know, hey, they're just, they're nearly legal age, so it doesn't count, right?
Yeah, the U.S., a nation led by pedophiles who oppose justice.
That's exactly what it is.
And Brian Shahavi's got a good term for it.
I call a lot of these people.
Their first thing is, well, you have Trump derangement syndrome.
TDS, TDS.
And I said, you have Trump delusion syndrome, though.
I like what Brian Shulhave put.
He said, they have Trump Stockholm syndrome.
TSS.
That's exactly what it is.
Yeah.
And a matter of fact, is Ghelane Maxwell even in prison?
This is this shows, well, it's not working there.
Well, that one doesn't show up.
Let me give you what High Impact Flicks did.
This is, he talks about the strange change and appearance of Ghelane Maxwell from the many, many pictures that we have of her.
And then her appearance by teleprompter to the committee where she played the fifth.
There's some debate online on whether this is Ghelane Maxwell.
Or is this Ghelaine Maxwell?
Or are they both?
Well, I don't know.
Our clips seem to be failing here left and right.
So if you can get that, let me know.
I really would like to play that for people.
What High Impact Flicks said.
Both these Trump administration leaders seem to have clearly committed perjury, but they don't seem to care anymore because as long as Trump is in power, they know they'll never face justice.
Even if they somehow face criminal charges or impeachment for their actions, they have a Trump pardon get out of jail free card in their pocket.
Corporate media has moved on to other stories that they want to occupy the attention of the public, like the Nancy Guthrie story, the number one headline news on Google News now for over a week.
So forget about the abduction and the rape of children.
Well, let's take a look at this kidnapping story.
They sensationalize that.
And now, if that's not going to work, we'll talk about Obama and UFO aliens.
Corporate media will never report on certain topics related to Epstein, such as cannibalism and satanic ritual abuse.
Of course, they won't.
Jamie Raskin told Axios in an interview that when he searched Trump's name in the unredacted Epstein files the previous day, he said it came up more than 3 million times.
Does that sound like an exaggeration?
Okay.
Well, he says the audience had sound on this.
Let's pull this back up here.
This is from High Impact Flicks.
There's some debate online on whether this is Ghelane Maxwell.
Or is this Ghelane Maxwell?
Or are they both Ghelane Maxwell?
And in the spirit of investigative research, I decided, hey, you know what?
Let's line up the photos.
Let's take a close look at them and let's try to be as objective as we can possibly be, trying to steer away from any kind of pitfalls of cognitive bias.
So what I did was I put this photo in Photoshop along with two other known photos of Ghelane Maxwell.
The first thing I did is I put yellow dots where her pupils are, and then I went from the very top of the ear to the very top of the ear, which skirted right underneath her eyelids.
And the reason I did this is I wanted to line up the pupils especially, but I tried to line up the pupils and the ears as well as I could.
And when I got all three photos in place, there were two things that jumped off the screen right off the bat.
See if it's as noticeable to you as it was to me as I show you an older picture of Ghelaine Maxwell before she went into prison.
What's the first thing that jumps out at you and screams, hey, something ain't right here?
I'll tell you what it was for me.
Number one, it was the nose.
Look how right here, right before she went to prison, she's got kind of a a W shaped nose.
It kind of dips down.
Right here, it's completely absent.
You don't see that.
So here's before, here's after.
By the way, this right here was taken from the February 9th deposition.
This is February 9th, 2026, just a couple days ago, where she multiple times invoked her Fifth Amendment right to be silent and not incriminate herself.
So here's the deposition photo.
And here's a photo before she went to prison.
You see that?
Now look at the line.
This line right here goes from eartop to eartop, but then right here, it goes through the top of her ears.
It looks like there's maybe a half to three quarters of an inch on the top.
This right here is the very top.
Now I understand there's lighting, there's camera angle.
This camera angle right here could be down like this.
