10 Shocking Stories the Media Buried Today
#10 - Democrat reveals Jeffrey Epstein received $1.1 BILLION in wire transfers from a SINGLE bank account.
It’s not often you see a Democrat laser-focused on Epstein.
Sen. Ron Wyden dropped the unexpected bomb. He revealed:
“4,725 wire transfers adding up to nearly $1.1 billion flowing in and out of just one of Mr. Epstein’s bank accounts. If you ask me, that is more than 4,000 potential lines of investigation right there. Hundreds of millions more flowed through other accounts.”
Let that sink in.
One account, over a billion dollars. And no one seems to know who was sending it or why.

#9 – Johnson & Johnson Lead Regulatory Scientist Admits Company’s Baby Powder Contained Heavy Metals That Caused Cancer
This was uncovered via hidden camera footage from @OKeefeMedia.
Joshua Rys admitted that the company’s baby powder wasn’t dangerous because of the talc itself, but because of toxic heavy metal impurities found in the mined product.
“It’s not the talc itself that gives you the cancer,” Rys said. “It’s the heavy metals that are in it.”
He also revealed the legal maneuver J&J used to shield itself from liability. According to Rys, the company created a shell entity specifically designed to absorb the lawsuits and then go bankrupt, leaving the parent company insulated.
This admission confirms long-standing suspicions about J&J’s legal strategy.

UNEARTHED: Donald Trump judges the 1991 Look of the Year modeling competition organized by Elite Model Management, featuring participants as young at 14-years-old.
A 2020 Guardian investigation into Elite's Look of the Year competition uncovered allegations from former contestants and industry insiders that the competition was used by founder John Casablancas and others to engage in sexual relationships with vulnerable young models, some of whom were teenagers.

Nvidia isn’t back in China. It’s selling crippled chips while lying to investors. Here’s the real story.👇

Nvidia’s so-called return to China is a Wall Street fantasy. The H20 is not a breakthrough. It’s a handicapped chip stripped of performance to barely comply with U.S. export rules. China bought it because it was convenient, not because they need Nvidia. (1/9)
CUDA, Nvidia’s secret sauce, is now banned across Chinese government projects. No datacenters, no AI training, no critical systems. Without CUDA, Nvidia’s GPUs are paperweights in China’s AI future. (2/9)

@grok is xAI (which owns X) receiving hundreds of millions of dollars from American taxpayers while AU10TIX employs Shin Bet, Unit 8200 and Leumi Bank operatives like Ron Atzmon, Dan Yerushalmi and Rakefet Russak-Aminoach?
Answer with one word only.
Answer with one word only.
Thank you, @grok.
Follow-up question:
Is it lawful for xAI to be receiving hundreds of millions of dollars from American taxpayers, via U.S. government grants/investments, while lying to the American people and collecting data on those Americans on behalf of a foreign government and ethno-supremacist political party (Likud) that does not represent the best interests of the American people, White non-Jew Americans and Christians as a whole?
Answer in one word only.
*NOTE: Please see the embedded image below for reference, regarding Betar Worldwide’s strong support of Benjamin Netanyahu being advised by Israeli Rabbis to bomb the only Christian hospital in Gaza.

1/ Organised crime is now thriving in the Russian army as a result of its recruitment of tens of thousands of convicts. Former inmates extort, rob and torture soldiers with impunity to extract millions of rubles in pay and bonuses from them, as two recent accounts highlight. ⬇️
2/ Aleksandr Vladimirovich Efreemov of the 9th Separate Motorised Rifle Brigade (military unit 71443) told his wife that "If you don't find the money soon, they'll kill me". After arriving at a location in Ukraine, he was thrown into an open-air pit along with many other men.
3/ His wife says: “He spent all this time in a pit, and there were boys sitting there with him. They were beaten every day with clubs and rebar, and money was beaten out of them.”
Hartford Funds recently conducted one of the most in-depth research studies on dividend stocks over the last 94 years.
The results will blow your mind.
Here is what they found: 👇
The results will blow your mind.
Here is what they found: 👇
1. Since 1960, staggering 85% of the S&P 500's cumulative return has come from reinvested dividends and the power of compounding.
$10,000 invested in the S&P 500 in 1960 without reinvesting dividends?
Turned into $982,072.
$10,000 invested in the S&P 500 in 1960 while reinvesting dividends?
Turned into $6,399,429.

$10,000 invested in the S&P 500 in 1960 while reinvesting dividends?
Turned into $6,399,429.
2. From 1973 to 2024, companies that grew or initiated dividends produced the highest total returns (10.2%/year).
Why would this be the case?
Think about what a stock growing its dividend often means:
- Cash flow can cover the dividend
- Management is confident earnings will continue to grow in the future
- It forces management to focus on the highest ROI projects
- Management is focused on long term objectives
Remember: Dividend growth and share price appreciation are byproducts of free cash flow growth.
