One year ago, thanks to legislation passed in FL, over 150 pages of grand jury transcripts and videos of witness interviews regarding the 2008 state investigation of Jeffrey Epstein were made public.
In June of that same year, Epstein pleaded guilty to the state charges: one count of soliciting prostitution and one count of soliciting prostitution from someone under the age of 18. He is sentenced to register as a sex offender, pay restitution, and serve 18 months in jail... but was allowed to go to his office during the day.
Around the same time that the state grand jury indicted Epstein, a federal grand jury in Florida had been impaneled and heard testimony.
There was a proposed indictment against him for conspiracy and sex trafficking.
That indictment was dropped when the US Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Florida inked a secret non-prosecution agreement with Epstein that resolved those possible charges against him and gave immunity to four female co-conspirators.
Maxwell was NOT one of those four female co-conspirators, but she is currently attempting to get her conviction overturned at SCOTUS by arguing that the NPA does in fact apply to her.
The usual suspects are gearing up to fight the DOJ probe into Fulton County, this time as regards the grand jury subpoena for records of employees and volunteers who worked the 2020 election.
On April 20, 2026, the FBI served a subpoena to the Fulton County Board of Registration and Elections for information concerning individuals who worked the 2020 elections in Fulton. (see red box in pic.)
Fulton had until May 5, 2026, to comply but on April 29 asked for a 14-day extension.

Recall that the theory of this case is that the SPLC solicited donations and told donors that their contributions would be used to "dismantle" violent extremist groups.
But, unbeknownst to those donors, some of the money (millions) went to funding individuals in those groups who then used the money to promote the groups' activities and message.
The SPLC for decades ran a paid informant network that at times took direction from leadership at the SPLC.
This created a circumstance (or setup) where the SPLC, who according to their own website, literature, public-facing resources, and messaging, was working to "take down" these violent extremist groups, was instead directing and paying those same violent extremists to do violent and extreme things.
Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control is abbreviated as OFAC, but when folks get administrative subpoenas from them, they often mispronounce the acronym.
According to CodePink co-founder Medea Benjamin, the email from OFAC was sent to the other co-founder, Jodie Evans's, spam folder.
OFAC is seeking a lot of information from Codepink regarding their visit to Cuba.
"Approximately 170 people participated in the convoy and suggested the scope of the inquiry could require organizers to account for the activities of every participant."
It is not known when Rush stopped working for the CIA or why, but we know from the affidavit that he requested and received "a significant quantity of foreign currency and tens of millions of dollars in gold bars for work-related expenses" between November 2025 and March 2026.
So his employment must have run at least until then.
At some point, I'm guessing between March and early May, the CIA began an investigation/review of what Rush was up to.
They were "unable to locate the gold bars or significant amounts of the foreign currency Rush received pursuant to his requests or to identify the intended use of these funds."
The "data center hysteria" is largely a repacking of the "climate change hysteria."
The hysteria is fueled, in part, by bad data, lack of perspective, and influence operations that lead with emotional bait.
Like the 20th-century predictions of climate catastrophes, it is another form of anti-capitalism (pro-communism) propaganda meant to capture your mind through fear.
A teachable moment.
In 2025, a left-wing anti-AI author, Karen Hao, published her non-fiction book 'Empire of AI: Dreams and Nightmares in Sam Altman's OpenAI.'
It's done very well. A NYT bestseller and winner of multiple awards, the book received much praise.
Anti-AI and anti-data center sentiments, which go hand in hand, are now mainstream, and this book boosted them there.
You may have noticed the uptick in opposition to both.
Sometimes the angle of surveillance, aka "Big Brother," is also included.
