  • OK critical thinking, stay sharp people and yes I do reference this author a lot, however, where is the proof?

    By Rachel Hurley:

    The Soviets called it “dezinformatsiya.” We call it salting. And somebody just salted the shit out of the Epstein discourse.

    Here’s how this trick works in spy school.

    Take nine true things and one lie. When someone finds the lie, they throw out all ten. Or flip it: take nine lies and one verifiable truth. When someone confirms the truth, they assume the rest must be legit too.

    This isn’t conspiracy theory.

    The KGB literally had a department for this. A Czech intelligence defector named Ladislav Bittman wrote a whole book about it - said that for any disinfo campaign to work, “every message must at least partially correspond to reality.” You mix the poison with sugar so it goes down smooth. Churchill called it “a bodyguard of lies.”

    Now. The Sascha Riley audio tapes.

    If you’ve been anywhere near political social media this week, you’ve seen people losing their minds over these recordings. Supposedly a decorated Iraq War vet recounting childhood trafficking connected to Epstein, naming names including Trump, claiming he’s testified to the House Oversight Committee. People are crying. People are demanding investigations. The emotional temperature is through the roof.

    One small problem.

    Not a single claim has been verified by anyone. Not courts. Not law enforcement. Not the FBI. Not a single mainstream outlet.

    The “journalist” who published the audio, Lisa Noelle Voldeng, has no verifiable professional background.

    Fact-checkers have flagged mismatched dates, references to military figures who may not exist, and claims so “over the top” they’re raising red flags everywhere. When supporters demand proof, they point to… the audio itself. Which is not how evidence works.

    I can t but keep asking - why would someone release so much unverifiable testimony right now?

    Think about it. If you wanted to protect Trump from the actual Epstein evidence - the stuff that’s documented - what would you do?

    You’d flood the zone with something so sensational it drowns out the receipts. You’d make the claims so extreme they can never be proven. Then when the whole thing collapses - and it will collapse if it’s fabricated - everyone who shared it looks like an idiot. Suddenly all Epstein investigation becomes “that conspiracy theory people fell for.” The real journalism gets buried under the rubble of something designed to blow up.

    That’s salting. That’s the technique.

    “But Rachel, survivors should be believed.”

    Survivors with depositions and court records should absolutely be believed. Virginia Giuffre’s testimony withstood cross-examination. The victims in the Maxwell trial provided evidence that led to conviction. That’s what real survivor testimony looks like when it’s legitimate. It goes through legal process. It gets verified. It holds up.

    Audio recordings published by someone with no credentials, containing allegations no outlet will touch, expecting you “just believe” without verification? That’s not survivor testimony. That’s a test of how gullible you are.

    The reaction alone is a tell. “I listened and cried.” “I felt physically sick.” “I believe completely.” These are emotional responses, not evidentiary ones. And content that’s optimized for emotional virality rather than accuracy is… well, that’s exactly what disinfo looks like. The KGB would be so proud.

    Here’s what I know for sure: the real Epstein evidence doesn’t need help from this story. The real connections are documented. The receipts exist. And anyone trying to get you to share unverifiable claims instead of documented evidence is either not paying attention or doing someone’s work for them.

    You want to nail Trump on Epstein? Use the depositions. Use the flight logs. Use his own words on tape. Use the evidence that holds up.

    You want to protect Trump on Epstein? Get everyone sharing sensational claims that collapse under scrutiny, then watch the whole discourse get dismissed as hysteria.

    Know the difference. Please.

    I believe that Sascha Riley believes what he is saying. But that doesn’t make it true.

    And not one piece of evidence that he has shared proves a damn thing.

    Periodt.


  • Here’s why the Clintons say they won’t testify.

    They just told James Comer to go ahead and hold them in contempt - they’ll wait. Their letter, dated today, is four pages of “we see exactly what you’re doing.” The Clintons point out that Comer subpoenaed eight people in his Epstein investigation, dismissed seven without a word, and has interviewed a grand total of two witnesses. Two.

    They’ve got lawyers saying his subpoenas are legally invalid, and they’re calling out the obvious: Comer said nothing when Trump took the exact same position three years ago. The Epstein files only came out because four Republicans broke ranks to force a vote. Comer wasn’t one of them. He won’t subpoena the Attorney General to make DOJ comply with the law Congress passed. But he’s ready to bring the whole chamber to a halt for contempt charges against the Clintons.

    The threat is barely veiled.

    They’re prepared to take this public, make their case to all 45 committee members, and frame the whole thing as Comer protecting his friends while punishing his enemies. They’re basically saying: if you want to grind Congress to a standstill over us instead of passing laws, that works too - we’ll call it our contribution to slowing down the Republican agenda. The letter ends with the kind of line you write when you want it quoted: “Continue to abet the dismantling of America, and you will learn that it takes more than a wrecking ball to demolish what Americans have built over 250 years.”

    • Rachael Hurley -




  • You are right and I think its more nuanced than this. I originally heard it on a reddit post HERE, I think its more like

    An immediate $10,000 signing bonus upon joining.

    An additional $10,000 is paid if the application is completed before an early August deadline.

    The remaining $30,000 is distributed as $10,000 annually over the subsequent three years.

    So I was wrong according to reddit, sadly the specific details are not easy to find without getting in a quagmire of MSM news websites that only give thin overviews.




  • This administration is pretty much tossing every part of the Constitution aside. I can’t help but wonder what the founding fathers would think after just fighting a long war to get these rights written down…

    You can’t protest what they’re doing. Only their supporters should have guns (remember when Trump said, ‘Take their guns’?)

    If you don’t let ICE crash at your place, you can’t do business, MAGA will dox it.

    ICE can stop and hold you whenever they feel like it.

    They can keep you locked up without charging you, so forget about due process.

    They can deport you before you even get a chance to go to court, even if the court says not to.

    ICE claims they can use military courts instead of regular juries, and they say they’re immune to all laws.

    Citizens can be deported without a trial.

    You are starting to lose the right to just be out and about without showing ID (if ICE even asks to see it). Soon you’ll need a driver’s license just to walk to the store.

    ICE, as a federal agency, has more power than the states, even though states should have rights over the federal government.

    This is a tipping point in history.

    I never thought we’d get to a place where handing over five years of your social media would feel like the least invasive part of entering the United States as a tourist, but here we are.

    The Department of Homeland Security is proposing new rules for people using the ESTA system. These are visitors from places like the EU, the UK, Australia, Japan, and the rest of the Visa Waiver countries. People who currently don’t need a visa. And the list of what they’ll be required to hand over reads like something ripped from a security state fever dream.

    Tourists would need to turn in: • Every social media account from the last five years • Full biometrics: face, fingerprints, iris scan, and yes, DNA • All phone numbers from the last five years • All email addresses from the last ten • IP addresses and metadata from any photos they submit • Names of immediate family members • Family members’ phone numbers from the last five years • Their dates and places of birth • Where they live • All business phone numbers from the last five years • All business emails from the last ten

    And that’s just to come here on vacation. If you’re someone who actually needs a visa, I’d brace for something even more extreme.

    This isn’t rumor or speculation. It’s right there in DHS documentation.
