Jeffrey Epstein sent nasty emails to billionaire Leon Black demanding millions per year before arrest: report

Jeffrey Epstein sent a barrage of nasty emails to his cash cow, billionaire Leon Black, pressuring him to fork over millions of dollars per year to keep his lavish lifestyle afloat.

The disgraced financier and sex trafficker warned that Black’s financial advisors and “retarded” children had created a “really dangerous mess” by attempting to plug the flow of cash, according to emails obtained by the New York Times.

“I never want to have any more uncomfortable money moments with you , I find it very distasteful,” Epstein wrote in a Nov. 2, 2015 email to the Apollo Global Management founder.

“so to be clear , my terms are as follows . I will only work for the usual 40 million per year. It needs to be paid, 25 million upon signing an agreement . 5 million every 2 months thereafter for 6 months ie march may june . this can begin if i am able in January. I will immediately stop work , if the payment is not received [sic]” he wrote, according to the outlet.

The emails sent to Black by Epstein in 2015 and 2016 illustrates the strong relationship between the two men, who were close friends as well as business associates.

Epstein flight manifests revealed as House committee releases docs, transcript with former US attorney

The House Oversight committee on Friday released a transcript of its interview with the former U.S. attorney who initially negotiated a controversial plea deal with disgraced financier, in addition to flight manifest records from Jeffrey Epstein’s private plane.

Members of the oversight committee conducted the interview with Alex Acosta in late September, who previously served as U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Florida. Included in the document release by the House Oversight Committee are flight manifests for Epstein’s private plane, which include Prince Andrew, Bill Gates, Walter Cronkite and Richard Branson. None of these individuals have been accused of any wrongdoing.

Former President Bill Clinton also appeared again in the Epstein flight manifests several times. On at least one flight in 2002, he traveled with Secret Service agents, the documents show. Clinton isn’t accused of any wrongdoing.

Acosta helped Epstein in 2008 secure a plea deal that avoided federal charges by serving 13 months in jail and pleading guilty to state charges. Under the deal, Epstein registered as a sex offender and paid settlements to victims.

In explaining the plea agreement, Acosta claimed the case against Epstein was plagued with issues that may hinder a conviction.

“Fueled By Billionaires”: No Kings Prepares Color-Revolution-Style Mobilization Against Trump

The Democratic Party’s dark-money NGO network, bankrolled by left-wing billionaires, is reportedly preparing to activate a coordinated, color-revolution-style mobilization across the U.S. this weekend – a replay of failed agitation attempts seen earlier this year targeting President Trump and Elon Musk. The operation, marketed under the “No Kings” banner and portrayed publicly as a grassroots movement, in reality functions as a professionalized protest-industrial complex. Its composition includes a blend of paid activists, white boomers suffering from Stage 4 Trump Derangement Syndrome, and a smaller contingent of organic, unhinged leftists who recite MSNBC talking points by heart. 

Little do these white boomers know, the “No Kings” movement, supposedly against “kings and billionaires”, is, in reality, funded by leftist billionaire kings themselves. In truth, No Kings is bankrolled by far-left foundations backed by the same billionaire class that has been waging a political war against President Trump since his first term. Essentially, one faction of billionaires hates another, so their woke non-profit soldiers create a front group, brand it “No Kings,” and bankroll an army of paid protesters and unhinged left-wing activists. This is America in 2025: the permanent protest-industrial complex of hate and chaos, financed by the left.

Billionaires’ controversial plans for new California city are dealt humiliating blow as they unveil alternative

A group of billionaires have scrapped their plans to build a new California city from scratch and unveiled a new alternative. 

The real estate consortium, known as California Forever, initially planned to build a brand new metropolis in Solano County. 

They began buying up parcels of land under a pseudonym in 2023, but this raised suspicion among locals. 

Amid the controversy the group has now abandoned their original plans and revealed the project will be going forward as an annexation of an existing city.

California Forever CEO Jan Sramek, 38, said the group now intends to establish its development as an offshoot from nearby Suisan City, a small hub of around 30,000 residents.

Sramek unveiled a 40-year master plan to build the city on its new spot northeast of San Francisco. 

The project has drawn in high-profile backers, including LinkedIn founder Reid Hoffman, tech titan Marc Andreesen, and Steve Jobs’ widow and philanthropist Laurene Powell Jobs. 

The latest plans will see Suisan City expand by 22,873 acres, including a 5,700-acre security buffer zone near Travis Air Force Base, reports Realtor.com. 

The consortium have lauded the plans for their new megacity, and have designated at least 20 percent of the city to parks, trails, ecological habitats and community gardens. 

The city’s proximity to Travis Air Force Base sparked concern among some locals who feared the quiet purchase of the land could be related to a foreign plot, similarly to the Chinese government buying American farmland in recent years. 

But Sramek said that the land was bought covertly because the group did not want speculators to drive up land prices in the area. 

The latest plans have been signed off by military leaders at the air force base, who say that construction would not interfere with its military operations. 

Sramek has touted the proposed city as ‘the most walkable community in America’, and says it will feature an entertainment district, a new shipyard, and a tech-focused hub. 

He says the design will combine New York-style street grids, as well as city designs from Barcelona and Tokyo, to make the city easy to navigate. 

‘Like California’s fusion cuisine, we drew inspiration from the best designs from across the world to create something delightful,’ he said in an X post. 

He also says the city will be more affordable for many, and will utilize ‘a small parcel fabric where lots of people co-create a real city.’

The Kenyan High Court has also now suspended Bill Gates immunity from Prosecution

Kenyan High Court Suspends Bill Gates’ Immunity: Globalist Agenda Exposed in Africa?

In a monumental judicial blow sending shockwaves through the global community, the Kenyan High Court has suspended Bill Gates’ legal immunity, paving the way for his potential prosecution. This unprecedented decision stems from a lawsuit filed by Kenyan Senator Mithika Linturi, who accuses the Microsoft founder and his allies of engaging in activities that «consume and destroy the sovereignty of Africa.» The ruling is not just a legal victory; it is a battle cry for sovereign nations awakening to the dangerous overreach of unelected global elites operating under the guise of philanthropy and public health. This case unveils the tip of the iceberg of a dark agenda that conservative voices have denounced for years.

The core of the accusation is one of the most alarming revelations of the modern era: the alleged perversion of vaccination campaigns to carry out covert population control experiments. As detailed in court, the World Health Organization (WHO), an entity heavily funded by Gates, launched a tetanus eradication campaign in Kenya between 2014 and 2015. However, Kenyan doctors and researchers discovered that the vaccine used was radically different. It was reportedly a «fertility-regulating vaccine,» which combined the tetanus toxoid with the hormone Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG), essential for sustaining pregnancy. The insidious consequence, as alleged, is that when injected into a woman, her immune system produces antibodies that attack this hormone, effectively resulting in sterilization.

The devastating repercussions for the Kenyan people are already visible and quantifiable. Local healthcare professionals have reported a chilling and inexplicable rise in infertility cases among young, healthy couples. Furthermore, there is a recurring tragedy of women suffering multiple consecutive miscarriages, unable to carry a pregnancy to term. These are not mere coincidences but a horrifying pattern that aligns with Gates-sponsored campaigns. The brave research and subsequent publication of a scientific paper by Kenyan doctors have corroborated these accusations, providing a factual basis for what many had suspected: that the world’s most vulnerable populations are being used as lab rats for a radical social engineering program.

Trump says a very wealthy ‘gentleman’ offered to pay troops’ wages through government shutdown

President Donald Trump said that a very wealthy person offered to pay the wages for the military troops if the government shutdown continued.

The president made the comments to reporters on Tuesday as he sat next to Argentine President Javier Milei at the White House.

“I actually have a man who is a very wealthy person … who called — a donor, a great gentleman. And he said, ‘If there’s any money necessary, shortfall for the paying of the troops, then I will pay it,’ meaning he will pay it,” the president said. “How about that?”

But Trump said he refused the offer.

“I said, ‘Look, we’re not going to need it. We’re going to take care of our troops,'” he added. “But this was a position that’s being forced upon us by Democrats.”

Video of the president’s statement was widely circulated on social media.

Trump said in a post on Truth Social Saturday that the administration was seeking alternate methods to pay the troops.

“If nothing is done, because of ‘Leader’ Chuck Schumer and the Democrats, our Brave Troops will miss the paychecks they are rightfully due on October 15th,” he posted. “That is why I am using my authority, as Commander in Chief, to direct our Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, to use all available funds to get our Troops PAID on October 15th.”

Department of Homeland Security Sec. Kristi Noem posted on social media that she had secured funding to pay the U.S. Coast Guard.

“While Democrats have played politics with military pay to fight for illegal aliens, the US Coast Guard has been defending our maritime borders, stopping the flow of deadly narcotics and illegal immigration into our country, and countering America’s adversaries around the world,” she said in part.

Mark Cuban-Backed Startup Lets ‘Low FICO’ People Tap Used Car Equity – Even If Not Paid Off – For 30% APR

While Mark Cuban may be a ‘benevolent pill merchant’ – providing low-income Americans with cheap prescription drugs, the ‘Shark Tank’ billionaire just helped raise $50 million for a Series B round in a Dallas-based financial technology firm that lets people with terrible credit scores tap into the equity in their depreciating used cars at a 30% interest rate – even if it’s not paid off – in which case the entire auto loan is transferred). 

The startup, Yendo Inc., makes it even easier to squeeze blood from that stone. After signing up, the company issues the borrower a credit card – which incurs an additional 3% fee if used at an ATM to pull cash out. 

[Yendo] offers credit cards backed by vehicle equity to help customers get access to credit who may not be able to otherwise due to low FICO scores. The credit card functions like a normal card. Instead of a cash deposit, it’s secured by the value of a person’s car. -Dallas Business Journal

In addition to Cuban – an early investor in the company, Yendo received funding from Spice Expeditions, Autotech Ventures, FPV Ventures, Pelion Venture Partners and Clocktower Technology Ventures. As Dallas Business Journal notes, Spice Expeditions founder Nick Huber will join Yendo’s board, along with Lyft co-founder Logan Green. 

Founded in 2021, the company will use the funding to build an AI-powered digital bank that will decrease onboarding and operating costs – allowing them to focus on “opening doors for underserved Americans.” The company says that there’s more than $4 trillion in “untapped assets held by nonprime Americans.

Last May, the company raised $165 million in new capital – much if it debt, to increase lending through its asset-backed credit cards. Read more about their history here.

Left-Wing Dark Money Megadonors Including George Soros Spent $20 MILLION to Oppose Trump’s National Guard Deployment in D.C.

Washington, D.C., is under siege not only from rising crime but also from left-wing dark money groups working to undermine law and order. 

Financial disclosures reveal that progressive megadonors, including George Soros, have poured more than $20 million into organizations backing protests against President Trump’s crime crackdown in the nation’s capital.

At the center of this network is “Free DC,” a project sponsored by Community Change and Community Change Action. 

The group staged demonstrations near the White House to oppose Trump’s deployment of the National Guard and his goal of federalizing the district’s police force. 

The president’s goal is straightforward: to restore safety by cleaning up homeless encampments, increasing law enforcement presence, and making D.C. one of the safest cities in the world. 

Yet Free DC and its backers have mobilized to resist these efforts, using protests and coordinated campaigns to weaken public confidence in the crackdown.

Free DC promotes radical tactics under the guise of “resistance.” 

Its principles urge followers to “take up space,” “do not obey in advance,” and engage in nightly disruptions by banging pots and pans in neighborhoods across the city. 

The group has also launched “Cop Watch” trainings to prepare activists for further confrontations with law enforcement. 

These methods mirror the organized protest playbook of the radical left—loud, disruptive, and designed to generate chaos rather than solutions.

The money trail exposes how deeply entrenched dark-money networks are in shaping D.C. politics. 

Between 2020 and 2023, Community Change and its affiliated entities received $12.6 million from Soros’ Open Society Foundations, $5.6 million from Arabella’s network, and nearly $2 million from the Tides Foundation. 

Additional grants from Future Forward USA Action—a Democrat-aligned super PAC—brought millions more into their coffers.

These funds were officially labeled for “civil rights” or “social welfare” but have flowed into groups manufacturing unrest in the streets.

While Free DC only formally began in 2023, its rise coincided with congressional efforts to block a controversial rewrite of D.C.’s criminal code that would have reduced penalties for violent crimes. 

The timing suggests that dark-money donors viewed the group as a vehicle to push back against any attempt to hold criminals accountable.

From AI to TikTok to TV, This Pro-Israel Billionaire Is Expanding Power in US

Larry Ellison’s name isn’t always mentioned alongside more public-facing megabillionaires like Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, or Mark Zuckerberg. But as he vaults to the top of the U.S. power elite after a string of high-profile corporate deals, that’s about to change.

Ellison, the founder of the tech giant Oracle, is quickly emerging as the new face of oligarchic power in the U.S. Oracle has become an AI powerhouse at the same time Ellison and his son David have acquired Paramount and its vast media empire. With Donald Trump’s recent executive order, Ellison and Oracle will also now oversee TikTok’s algorithms, shaping a platform that reaches 150 million U.S. users.

What’s more alarming than Ellison’s sheer wealth — in September, he briefly surpassed Musk as the world’s richest person — is that he’s building his concentrated power and control in collaboration with the Trumpian project of attacking so-called “wokeness,” all while supercharging the corporate expansion of artificial intelligence and tech surveillance.

Foreign Billionaire Pours Millions Into U.S. Politics to Push Radical Green Agenda

For more than a decade, British billionaire hedge-fund manager Christopher Hohn has quietly funneled hundreds of millions of dollars into American politics. 

Federal law strictly prohibits foreign nationals from directly or indirectly influencing U.S. elections, yet Hohn has become one of the most aggressive violators of that rule.

Through his London-based nonprofit, the Children’s Investment Fund Foundation (CIFF), Hohn poured more than $553 million into U.S. organizations between 2014 and 2023. 

These dollars didn’t go toward charity; instead, they went toward advancing radical left-wing policy campaigns: climate protests, anti-fossil-fuel litigation, and efforts to ban natural gas stoves. 

Much of this money flowed through the Arabella Advisors dark-money network, which bankrolls progressive activism nationwide.

CIFF’s ties raise even deeper concerns. The group has close connections to Communist China. 

Its CEO sits on the International Green Development Coalition, a program tied to China’s Belt and Road initiative. 

The coalition’s work is overseen by top officials in the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). 

In fact, Hohn’s foundation has even honored CCP figures with “Friendship Awards,” further signaling its alignment with Beijing’s agenda.

While Democrats in Washington turn a blind eye, a foreign billionaire with ties to the CCP has been allowed to bankroll groups that shape America’s energy policy. 

By funding climate litigation and pressure campaigns, Hohn’s foundation has worked to dismantle U.S. energy independence, leaving America weaker and more reliant on foreign adversaries.

Democrats rail against supposed “foreign interference” in U.S. elections, but they have no problem cashing checks from foreign billionaires who bankroll their policy goals. 

From California to Washington, D.C., progressive nonprofits fueled by CIFF money have radicalized debates on climate and social justice, all while operating under the radar with little oversight or regulation.
