The Epstein Files: US Bureau of Prisons bent facts to support suicide narrative

Documents obtained under Freedom of Information laws by RT investigative unit The Detail include startling records revealing how the US Bureau of Prisons (BOP) moved to shut down any and all public debate about the cause of Jeffrey Epstein’s death. Along the way, evidence was distorted, material facts ignored, and key anomalies unexplored and unpublicized.

After being found dead in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center on August 10, 2019, the records show that the Bureau issued statements to journalists and Epstein’s family categorically stating he’d committed suicide.  The result was international news outlets universally and unquestioningly reporting that Epstein had taken his own life from the word go, despite Chief Medical Examiner Barbara Sampson having reached no conclusion at that time, and making clear in a statement the next day that the investigation was open and ongoing. 

It was not until August 16 that Sampson publicly declared Epstein’s death had been a suicide. The ruling was contested by leading forensic pathologist Dr. Michael Baden, who’d been hired by the billionaire’s brother to monitor the autopsy process. Speaking to the Miami Herald two months later, he charged that “the autopsy did not support suicide,’’ and that the pathologist who conducted it had recorded this.

“Then Dr. Sampson changed it a week later, manner of death to suicide. The brother has been trying to find out why that changed,” Baden fulminated. “What was the evidence?”

The mysterious death of Democratic National Committee worker Seth Rich and the FBI’s battle to keep documents about it secret

A lingering Freedom of Information (FOI) battle involving the FBI continues in the case of Seth Rich.

Rich was a Democratic National Committee (DNC) worker who was attacked and killed on July 10, 2016 by an unknown person or people.

Police implied Rich was the victim in a botched robbery attempt. However, with no suspects in custody or even named, others suggested his death as linked to a leak of controversial DNC emails to WikiLeaks.

The emails were considered harmful to the DNC and the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign. Some theorized that Rich could have been the source of the leak, and then was murdered in retaliation.

One reason the case received a lot of publicity is that US intelligence officials blamed Russia for hacking into the DNC and giving the documents to WikiLeaks. If the document leak were an inside job, instead, it would mean Russia did not play the role intelligence officials claimed, at the same time some top officials were also fabricating links between Russia and Donald Trump, and at the same time an FBI attorney was doctoring documents to improperly obtain a wiretap against a Trump campaign associate as a “Russian spy.”

Speculation about Rich’s death led to lawsuits filed by the Rich family, who called the theories “right-wing conspiracy theories” that compounded their grief. They received some apologies and settlements regarding the claims, which they said they believed to be false.

Court Orders FDA To Comply With FOIA and Release Information On Pfizer Vaccine – First Batch of Documents Shows Over 1,200 Vaccine Deaths WITHIN FIRST 90 DAYS

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) released the first batch of documents related to Pfizer’s Covid-19 vaccine after a federal judge ordered that they must comply with a massive Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request that was filed by a government accountability group called Public Health and Medical Professionals for Transparency.

The esteemed group of more than 30 professors and scientists asked the federal government to share any and all data that factored into the agency’s hasty decision to grant Pfizer’s experimental mRNA vaccine an emergency use authorization (EUA) – which amounts to a trove of over 329,000 documents.

In a shameless effort to bury the information, the FDA challenged the FOIA request in court. After the agency was told that it must turn over the documents, Justice Department lawyers representing the FDA asked a federal judge to allow them an unthinkable 55 years to process the request, saying that they would be able to release just 500 pages a month.

In other words, Elon will make it to Mars way before the documents would be fully released – in the year 2076.

FOIA Release: Fauci Funded Construction Of ‘Chimeric Coronaviruses’ In Wuhan

When Dr. Anthony Fauci confidently screamed at Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) in July – calling him a liar for accusing him of funding so-called “Gain-of-Function” (GoF) research in Wuhan, China to make coronaviruses more transmissible to humans, the argument ultimately faded due to Fauci’s unsupported claim that the research didn’t technically fit the definition of GoF.

Now, thanks to materials (here and here) released through a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit by The Intercept against the National Institutes of Health (which were unredacted enough to toss Fauci under the bus), we now know that Fauci-funded EcoHealth Alliance, a New York-based nonprofit headed by Peter Daszak, was absolutely engaged in gain-of-function research to make chimeric SARS-based coronaviruses, which they confirmed could infect human cells.

The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) “Behavioral Modification” Collection

The below archive is connected with YEARS worth or research in connection with the MKULTRA CIA Collection.  After years of having a 4 CD-ROM set archived, one researcher by the name of Oscar Diggs, went through and painstakingly put together a list of “missing” documents that were said to be on the CD’s, but were not.

I was given this list by Mr. Diggs in 2016. That began a near 3 year struggle with the CIA just to prove that list was accurate, let alone, getting a copy of the missing pages. Through the course of months that stretched to years, it ultimately took a 97 page fax to the CIA, with an index of every single file on the CD’s, to prove what I was asking for. The CIA had claimed they would give me the documents for FREE, since I already paid for the MKULTRA/Mind Control collection, and was told those documents were on the CD’s.

After proving it — the CIA’s story changed. They then said they were not clear, and the documents I asked for were NOT on the CD’s, and I had to pay for them. When I asked why, they said they were not on “mind control” or “MKULTRA”, but rather, were about “Behavioral Modification.”  I was denied a fee waiver, and was told that I would need to purchase 4,358 pages of documents, which comprised what I had asked for of the “missing” document numbers.

Through the graciousness of the internet, I was able to secure the money, and I wrote the check. After two months of waiting, my check was returned, and the CIA said by letter that the 4,358 was actually 2,316. With this letter, was 800 pages of MKULTRA material that I was never given on the CD’s. Therefore, it appeared, that I was actually correct pushing for records, but for more than two years, the CIA would not believe me.

My check was returned, and the CIA said if I was still interested in the 2,316 remaining pages, that I had to cut a new, lesser amount, check, as if I would lose interest somehow. Of course, I cut the new check, but what happened to the page count? How did so many pages disappear and vanish?  This all means that at least 1,245 pages of MKULTRA / Mind Control / Behavioral Modification documents just vanished from their original quote to me. What I can’t deduce from the CIA’s letter is if these 797 pages released were a part of that original quote, so the number of missing pages could be closer to 2,000!

Regardless of what the answer is, I finally got the remaining documents. As I know they are all digitized CIA, and I requested they be given electronically, the CIA ignored that request and printed out the thousands of pages that you will find linked below. So, I had to sit down, remove the staples and alligator clips, and begin scanning. Once completed, I went through each document and offered a date (if readable/available) file size, and a brief description. This is not meant to be a “complete” index, as the documents many times go into greater detail than my brief description. But, I do hope it offers a starting point.

Additional Note: The CIA claimed the remaining 2,316 pages were NOT related to MKULTRA, which is why I had to pay for them. However, document C00017440, was 821 pages entirely on MKULTRA. That consists of more than $80 of the fees I had to pay! Although possibly an oversight, this was the absolute icing on the frustration cake that has endured for years.

Judicial Watch files open records request asking USPS to disclose social media monitoring documents

Judicial Watch Announced Monday that it filed an open records request against the United States Postal Service, asking the organization to produce documents on its alleged tracking of social media posts regarding protests.

The conservative judicial watchdog group originally filed the suit on April 28 through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request. The group asked for all documents related to the tracking and collecting of Americans’ social media posts through its Internet Covert Operations Program, according to The Epoch Times.

The FOIA is specifically looking for communication records between the USPS and the Federal Bureau of Investigation or the Department of Homeland Security from Jan.1, 2020. 

“Did the Biden administration weaponize the United States Postal Service to improperly spy on Americans?” Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton asked in a statement Monday.

Attorney Ty Clevenger Trying to Get to the Bottom of Seth Rich Murder Receives FOIA Response from FBI Stating It Will Take Decades to Provide All the Related Documents

Attorney Ty Clevenger has been trying for years to get to the bottom of Seth Rich’s death and the Deep State FBI’s actions in response to it.  Yesterday the FBI responded to his recent FOIA request and Clevenger believes based on the response it will be decades until all the requested records are released.

This is your FBI in action.  Ty Clevenger has been trying to get all the records the FBI has surrounding the death of former DNC employee Seth Rich.  Rich was gunned down at 4am in Washington DC in the summer of 2016.  Many people believe Rich was murdered because he released emails to WikiLeaks related to Hillary Clinton.  However, Rich’s case was classified as a robbery.

NSA Reveals in FOIA Response that the FBI Involved in “Improper Surveillance” of 16,000 Americans

Then on January 6, after one million Trump supporters rallied with President Trump at the Ellipse outside the White House, some 900 individuals went inside the US Capitol. Over 400 have since been arrested, including those who were waved into the US Capitol by the police standing at the exits.

Since January, the Deep State and Democrats will not release videotapes to Republican lawmakers from January 6th inside or outside the US Capitol.

Earlier this week Revolver News published an important piece on the “unindicted co-conspirators” in the Jan. 6 attack who were never charged by the DOJ or FBI for their part in the violence on Jan. 6.

The “unindicted co-conspirators” were frequently the most violent and leaders of the assault on the US Capitol. They are also likely FBI informants.

CDC Gives Out False Information Then Circles the Wagons

The CDC has refused to release the contact information for its chief FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) officer after two of its FOIA analysts were caught giving out false information on one FOIA and declining to fulfill another.

The initial FOIA, filed in February of 2020, asked for a racial breakdown of Covid deaths. After some online hemming and hawing, the CDC analyst told this reporter that the CDC had not accumulated this data at that time.

As it eventuated, the CDC had in fact published the data the week prior to this communication. Both CDC analyst Paula Thomas and her workstream leader, Carolyn Opkewho, promoted the false response.

After being informed that the CDC had indeed published the data, the CDC subsequently released it to this reporter.
