Happy Thanksgiving To All Of You And Your Families (11/27/25)

In a comparison that continues to disturb a lot of people paying attention, the charges filed against R. Kelly versus those filed against Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell reveal a glaring imbalance in how the federal government chooses to deploy its most powerful legal tools. R. Kelly was charged under RICO—the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act—because federal prosecutors argued that he ran his abuse operation like a criminal enterprise, using managers, bodyguards, assistants, and a network of enablers to recruit and control underage victims. The government treated his inner circle as a coordinated structure, recognizing that the abuse was not random, accidental, or isolated. It was organized. And because of RICO, prosecutors were able to bring in a sweeping range of evidence, establish a conspiracy framework, and secure a conviction that reflected the totality of the crimes and how they were carried out.But when you turn to Epstein and Maxwell—an operation that was global, involved billionaires, prime ministers, presidents, intelligence-linked financiers, private bankers, pilots, recruiters, assistants, secretaries, foundations, shell companies, and a private island—the government suddenly forgot RICO existed. Despite Epstein having a documented network of employees and co-conspirators, flight logs, phone books, funded recruiters, private jets, and a literal island used for trafficking, the DOJ only hit Maxwell with basic sex trafficking counts, while Epstein’s richest, most powerful co-conspirators walked free under a sweetheart non-prosecution agreement. The very definition of RICO—a coordinated criminal enterprise spanning states and countries—describes Epstein’s machine far more clearly than Kelly’s. Yet one got the hammer, and the other got protection. And that is the question that continues to haunt anyone looking at this with a functioning brain: Why was RICO unleashed on a musician, but not on the most well-connected trafficking ring in modern history?to contact me:[email protected] a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

As another Thanksgiving rolls around, I want to take a moment to speak directly from the heart and say thank you. I’m fully aware that the most valuable thing any of us have in life is time—and you choose to spend yours here with me, show after show, episode after episode, year after year. That’s not something I take lightly, and it’s not something I’ll ever forget. From the day this journey started, you’ve shown up with passion, curiosity, and backbone, refusing to look away from the uncomfortable truths and refusing to settle for the polished, sanitized version the powerful want you to swallow. You’ve stuck with me through every high and every low, every delay, every late-night rant, every new lead, every twist in this insane story, and I am genuinely humbled.I’m humbled knowing that people across the world—different countries, languages, beliefs, and backgrounds—are united around one demand: Release the Epstein files. That unity is rare, powerful, and historic, and I’m grateful even for the people who listen out of anger or disagreement, because participation means pressure, and pressure is what makes the powerful sweat. Today is for family, rest, and appreciation—for stepping back long enough to remember why we fight at all. I hope everyone gets to spend the day with people who bring warmth and peace into their life. But tomorrow, the swords come back out. Tomorrow, we push harder. Tomorrow, we demand justice like we always have. We’re nowhere near finished, and I’m not going anywhere.to contact me:[email protected] a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In one of the most insulting displays of federal favoritism imaginable, Ghislaine Maxwell is spending Thanksgiving at Camp Bryan—one of the cushiest, most privilege-soaked facilities in the entire federal prison system—complete with a full holiday feast and even a turkey leg if she wants it. The outrage isn’t about inmates receiving a decent meal; it’s about who is receiving it. While survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and Maxwell spend the holiday grieving lost daughters, destroyed families, empty seats at dinner tables, and trauma that never ends, Maxwell strolls through a buffet line like she’s at a luxury resort, living comfortably and protected instead of facing the harsh consequences her crimes demand. It’s a grotesque inversion of justice that any reasonable person can recognize without needing legal expertise or secret documents: this is reward, not punishment; privilege, not accountability.The decision to move her to Camp Bryan was deliberate and strategic, not random or procedural. It was the latest phase in a years-long cover-up that consistently protects the powerful while gaslighting the public and exhausting survivors into silence. Watching the woman who facilitated industrial-scale abuse of minors enjoy a holiday feast and spa-like amenities is a slap directly to the faces of those who lost everything. It’s a crystal-clear example of how the justice system bends for elites, working swiftly when it benefits the well-connected and stalling endlessly when victims demand truth. While families light candles for children who will never come home, the federal government serves Maxwell dessert. If anything proves the system is broken beyond repair, it’s this grotesque Thanksgiving celebration dressed up as incarceration.to contact me:[email protected] a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

According to Andrew Lownie — as discussed on a recent podcast interview and in media coverage of his new book Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York — Epstein reportedly became “increasingly paranoid” toward the end of his life, fearing exposure. Lownie claims that Epstein “spoke to a hitman who was a former member of a British special-forces unit,” i.e. an ex-SAS sniper, and allegedly sought to hire him to “silence” Prince Andrew, Duke of York and Sarah Ferguson (his ex-wife) — supposedly to prevent them from disclosing damaging information about Epstein’s crimes. Lownie says the allegation comes from two sources, including a former FBI agent and a source in Paris.Lownie further argues that if the plot had been real and had advanced beyond talk, the potential assassination of a royal couple would dramatically reframe how far Epstein’s reach went — from sex-trafficking financier to someone allegedly willing to murder to protect his network. He also suggests this may help explain continuing ties: that fear — not just convenience — may have motivated ongoing contacts between Epstein and people like Ferguson, even after Epstein’s conviction.to contact me:[email protected]:Jeffrey Epstein 'plotted to hire ex-SAS sniper to silence the Yorks when he feared his crimes could be exposed'Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Survivors of Jeffrey Epstein — through their lawyers — have strongly condemned the recent release of documents by U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) that left dozens of their names unredacted. Their attorneys argue that this is not just negligence, but a gross violation of their dignity and privacy: “These women are not political pawns,” the filing reads, emphasizing that many of the victims are “mothers, wives, and daughters,” and that exposing their identities without consent — especially when some were minors at the time of abuse — re-victimizes them and undermines any promise of protection.Moreover, the lawyers warn that the scope of the oversight failure suggests the DOJ “either does not know the identities of all the victims … and thus cannot apply proper redactions,” or is “intentionally failing to protect victims from public exposure.” They’re pressing a federal judge to demand a more robust redaction process — including asking the DOJ for a full list of known victims so they can ensure no one else is inadvertently exposed.to  contact me:[email protected]:Law firm representing alleged Epstein victims sends scathing letter over DOJ document release - ABC NewsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Steve Bannon’s newly surfaced email exchanges with Jeffrey Epstein reveal a level of familiarity and cooperation that sharply contradicts the public image Bannon built as a crusader against elite corruption and sex trafficking networks. The tone of the correspondence shows two men who were not distant acquaintances or professional collaborators but comfortable insiders speaking the shorthand of established allies. The messages reportedly occurred while Bannon held influence inside the Trump White House, meaning Epstein had a direct conversational line into one of the most powerful political environments in the country. That proximity raises serious questions about access, influence, and what each man stood to gain from the relationship—especially given Epstein’s long-documented role as a financier and broker of high-level connections.What makes this revelation particularly explosive is the contrast between Bannon’s public persona and the private reality revealed in the emails. While he publicly positioned himself as a warrior exposing hidden predators and elite abuse networks, behind the scenes he was maintaining a cordial, strategic, and seemingly cooperative relationship with the most infamous trafficker of the era. Critics argue that this is more than hypocrisy—it represents a profound betrayal of the people who trusted Bannon to speak truth to power, including survivors of trafficking whose trauma he leveraged rhetorically. The silence now coming from his defenders, once loudly calling for accountability against anyone adjacent to Epstein, underscores the political and moral double standard now exposed. The implications of these communications are broader than personal embarrassment—they suggest a deeper rot inside institutions that were claiming to fight the very evil they were quietly standing beside.to contact me:[email protected] a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

The Office of the Inspector General (OIG) report into Jeffrey Epstein’s death delivers a blistering indictment of systemic failures at the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) and his holding facility. It documents a litany of procedural violations: Epstein’s cellmate was removed and never replaced despite explicit policy, surveillance cameras in his unit were malfunctioning or not recording, and the staff responsible for required 30-minute checks on Epstein didn’t perform them. Instead, employees falsified records indicating those rounds were completed, and in reality Epstein was alone and unchecked for hours before his death. These aren’t isolated mistakes—they’re classic symptoms of institutional collapse and neglect at a time when every safeguard should have been activated.Beyond the immediate night of his death, the report underscores a deeper rot: long-standing staffing shortages, indifferent supervision, and a culture that tolerated policy breaches without accountability. The OIG identifies that the same deficiencies had been raised in prior reports about the BOP, yet were never effectively addressed. By allowing one of the most high-profile detainees in the nation to slip through the cracks under such glaring conditions, the BOP didn’t just fail Epstein—they failed the public trust and all the victims who sought justice.to contact me:[email protected]:2 3 - 0 8 5 (justice.gov)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

At her sentencing, multiple survivors confronted Maxwell directly in court and described lifetimes of trauma inflicted by Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein. Among them, Annie Farmer broke into tears as she recounted how Maxwell lulled her — at age 16 — into a false sense of safety, only to betray that trust with a nude “massage” meant for sexual exploitation. She spoke of years of anxiety, self-doubt, shame, and “survivor guilt,” saying that the abuse destroyed her ability to trust her own instincts or believe in anything stable. Others, like Sarah Ransome, testified about repeated rapes in Epstein’s homes and on his private island — describing decades of nightmares, suicide attempts, alcoholism relapses, and a life forever marred by mental anguish. One woman, speaking on behalf of Virginia Roberts Giuffre, declared bluntly: “You opened the door to hell.”The statements carried a brutal weight — not just as testimony of past horror, but as living, ongoing pain. They underscored that what Maxwell facilitated was not a series of isolated crimes, but a long-term destruction of lives, families, and futures — a slow poison. For the survivors, the sentencing was not simply about justice served, but about being seen, heard, and validated: survivors demanded that Maxwell’s punishment reflect the magnitude of their suffering. In doing so, they turned the courtroom into a reckoning — forcing the powerful, once protected by privilege and silence, to finally answer for a lifetime of betrayal, abuse, and damage that will never fully heal.to contact me:bobbycapucciBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
