The US Virgin Islands Attorney General has subpoenaed 21 years' worth of deceased pedophile Jeffrey Epstein's flight logs, reportedly striking fear in the hearts of high-profile passengers not yet exposed as Lolita Express riders.

Passenger logs for Epstein's four helicopters and three planes have been subpoenaed by Virgin Islands AG Denise George, who recently sued the disgraced financier's estate for 22 counts including human trafficking, child abuse, neglect, prostitution, aggravated rape, and forced labor, according to a Sunday report by the UK Mirror.

In addition to the passenger lists, George has requisitioned "complaints or reports of potentially suspicious conduct" and any "personal notes" the pilots made while flying Epstein's alleged harem of underage girls around the world. She also wants the names and contact information of anyone who worked for the pilots - or who "integrated with or observed" Epstein and his passengers.

Five major banks (Bank of New York Mellon, Deutsche Bank, HSBC, JPMorgan and Standard Chartered) processed trillions of dollars of transactions identified as suspicious, a new ICIJ report reveals.

The International Consortium for Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) has released the results of an investigation based on more than 2,100 so-called suspicious activity reports (SARs) filed by banks and financial institutions with the US Department of Treasury's Financial Crime Enforcement Network (FinCEN) between 1999 and 2017. The SARs were obtained by Buzzfeed News and shared with the ICIJ.

Best of the Web: President Trump is fighting hard against sex trafficking, and the mainstream media hates it

President Trump recently announced $35 million in new Justice Department grants to organizations that provide safe housing for victims of sex trafficking, and the mainstream media hates it.

Anyone with an ounce of compassion for their fellow human beings should be able to see that fighting a heinous crime that affects tens of thousands of victims in the United States every year, over half of whom are minors, is exactly the sort of thing that federal law enforcement should be doing. But to mainstream media reporters such as the New York Times' Kevin Roose, taking a stand against human trafficking and pedophilia is apparently a "bat signal" to conspiracy theorists.

It saddens me to see members of the media defend pedophiles and sex traffickers just to take a jab at the president. Having experienced unspeakable acts of sexual violence myself for years, starting just before my 13th birthday, this is deeply personal to me.

Comment: If Trump really is serious about draining the swamp, going after pedophiles is a good place to start. With the amount of scum and villainy in the upper echalons who have their tentacles in that world, he's bound to get two birds with one stone.

Secret Service intercepts package addressed to President Trump containing deadly ricin UPDATE: Suspect detained; Chemical and Biological teams deployed in Quebec; 6 letters sent

Law enforcement have intercepted a package containing the incredibly deadly poison, ricin. The package was sent to the White House and addressed to President Trump.

CNN reports that the package was intercepted earlier this week and subjected to two rounds of testing. Law enforcement from the Secret Service and FBI confirmed that the substance in the package was the highly potent poison, ricin.

Comment: UPDATE: A suspect has been detained. From RT:
Authorities detain suspect who allegedly sent package containing deadly RICIN poison to President Trump
20 Sep, 2020 22:49

A woman suspected of sending a letter containing the deadly poison ricin to President Donald Trump was detained by US Customs and Border Patrol agents as she tried to enter the country from Canada.

The suspect was not officially identified. NBC News reported her apprehension on Sunday, citing an unnamed US law enforcement official. The letter was sent to Trump at the White House but was intercepted by law enforcement. White House mail is screened at an off-site facility.

Tests confirmed that the substance in the letter contained ricin, a poison made from the husks of castor beans that can cause organ failure, collapse of the circulatory system and possible death. There is no known antidote for ricin.

Royal Canadian Mounted Police said yesterday that the letter apparently was sent from Canada. NBC reported that several other letters containing ricin also were intercepted, including one to a Texas prison and one to a sheriff's office. The FBI and Secret Service were said to be investigating the letter addressed to Trump.


A woman in Canada was identified as a suspect in the case, the New York Times said on Saturday, citing an unidentified law enforcement official.

It is not the first time Trump has been targeted with ricin. Letters containing the poison's ingredients were sent to the president and top military leaders at the Pentagon in 2018.

Those letters were also intercepted, and a Utah man, William Clyde Allen III, was charged with sending them. Actress Shannon Guess Richardson was convicted in 2014 of sending ricin-containing letters to President Barack Obama and then-New York mayor Michael Bloomberg.

Ricin is a poison, made in either a liquid, powder or crystal form from the husks of castor beans. It blocks the body's cells from making proteins, which leads to organ failure, a collapse of the circulatory system and possible death. It has been used in terrorist attacks. Two Islamic State supporters in Germany were arrested in 2018 for plotting a massive ricin attack.

The latest incident comes amid heightened political tensions in the US and a vitriolic presidential election race. The stakes were made even higher on Friday, with the death of US Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
UPDATE 2: 21 Sep, 2020 15:38 From RT:
Trump ricin letter raid: Canadian cops deploy CHEMICAL & BIOLOGICAL threat teams in Quebec after poison sent to White House

Canadian police say they've deployed chemical, biological and nuclear specialists in Quebec as part of an operation related to the mailing of poison to the White House. Police say the suspect sent six poisoned letters to the US.

The police operation focused on a condo in the city of Longueuil, just outside Montreal, on Monday morning. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) said in a statement that "our Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, Explosives team (CBRNE) is leading the operation."

White House ricin mail suspect sent SIX POISON LETTERS to the US - Canadian police

The woman suspected of mailing a letter contaminated with deadly ricin poison to the White House apparently sent five more laced letters to the US, Canadian police said after raiding an apartment in Quebec.

The suspect, reportedly a woman with dual Canadian and French citizenship, was arrested by US Customs and Border Patrol agents on Sunday as she attempted to enter the US. Police, backed by specialists in nuclear, biological and chemical threats raided an apartment in Quebec connected to the woman on Monday.

"We believe a total of six letters were sent, one to the White House and five to Texas," Royal Canadian Mounted Police officer Charles Poirier told reporters after the raid. Poirier did not say where in Texas the five contaminated letters were sent, but the FBI is investigating several suspicious deliveries at law enforcement and detention facilities in South Texas, Reuters reported.

The woman is reportedly being held in Buffalo, New York, and a police spokesman in Mission, Texas, told the agency that his department had previously arrested her in 2019, but had no records on the arrest.

President Donald Trump's mail is screened at an off-site facility before being delivered to the White House. As such, the likelihood of the president getting his hands on the letter were extremely slim. If he had, though, the consequences could have been fatal. Ricin, a poison made from the husks of castor beans, blocks the body's cells from making proteins, which leads to organ failure, a collapse of the circulatory system and possible death.

There is no known antidote.

Under the guise of seeking to "prevent a constitutional crisis," a massive network of well funded left-wing activists and progressive groups are training, organizing, and planning to mobilize millions of Americans should President Trump "contest the election results," refuse to concede, or claim an early victory.

More than 80 advocacy groups and grassroots organizations have joined in a broad coalition calling itself "Protect the Results" and proclaiming that "we cannot ignore the threat that Trump poses to our democracy and a peaceful transition of power."

The coalition is a joint project of Indivisible and Stand Up America, two left-wing groups founded in response to President Trump's 2016 election and whose goals are "to organize and resist Trump's dangerous agenda" and "to defeat Trump and his enablers."

Why US won't 'decouple' from China in finance

Does the United States really want to decouple from China in the financial industry? Presumably, the answer is "No".

The US administration's recent actions against short video-sharing app TikTok, which is owned by Chinese company ByteDance, the tightening regulatory scrutiny of Chinese companies listed in the US, and some news of individual companies delisting from the US stock market, have all boosted discussions on the reported US initiative to decouple from China in the financial services sector.

The reason is, it is not difficult to think of financial decoupling in the context of escalated China-US frictions. Financial decoupling is much more complicated than technological decoupling. It involves the securities market, cross-border payments and capital flows, as well as the performance of the international monetary system.

If we first look at the US dollar-denominated international monetary system, the cost and boundaries of the financial capital and the physical capital (especially for technology), and the trend of integration in the Chinese and US financial markets, one conclusion is inescapable: the US side still needs China to maintain the existing international monetary system, and has better business opportunities in China's financial market.

Any action like decoupling will hurt the two sides; instead, cooperation will achieve a win-win situation.

SOTT Focus: The End of Reality

In 1888, the year before he went insane, Friedrich Nietzsche wrote the following in Twilight of the Idols:
We have got rid of the real world: what world is left? The apparent world perhaps? ... But no! Along with the real world we've done away with the apparent world as well.
So, if you feel you also may be going insane in the present climate of digital screen life, where real is unreal but realer than real, the apparent is cryptic, and up is down, true is false, and what you see you don't, it has a history.

One hundred and thirty-two years ago, Nietzsche added that "something extraordinarily nasty and evil is about to make its debut." We know it did, and the bloody butcher's bench known as the twentieth century was the result. Nihilism stepped onto center stage and has been the star of the show ever since, straight through to 2020.

SOTT Focus: The War on Populism: The Final Act

So, it appears the War on Populism is building toward an exciting climax. All the proper pieces are in place for a Class-A GloboCap color revolution, and maybe even civil war. You got your unauthorized Putin-Nazi president, your imaginary apocalyptic pandemic, your violent identitarian civil unrest, your heavily-armed politically-polarized populace, your ominous rumblings from military quarters ... you couldn't really ask for much more.

OK, the plot is pretty obvious by now (as it is in all big-budget action spectacles, which is essentially what color revolutions are), but that won't spoil our viewing experience. The fun isn't in guessing what is going to happen. Everybody knows what's going to happen. The fun is in watching Bruce, or Sigourney, or "the moderate rebels," or the GloboCap "Resistance," take down the monster, or the terrorists, or Hitler, and save the world, or democracy, or whatever.

The show-runners at GloboCap understand this, and they are sticking to the classic Act III formula (i.e., the one they teach in all those scriptwriting seminars, which, full disclosure, I teach a few of those). They've been running the War on Populism by the numbers since the very beginning. I'm going to break that down in just a moment, act by act, plot point by plot point, but first let's quickly cover the basics.

Comment: Sit back and enjoy the show is right!

This is a good 'script'.

However, we disagree with the characterization of Trump as "a narcissistic ass clown who is playing president to feed his ego."

Born into the rarefied atmosphere of 'the American elite', he's certainly not 'one of the little people', but he has put himself and his family 'on the line' to salvage what's left of the American Republic or 'American way of life'. He could have pulled an Obama - made two dozen populist promises to get elected then broken every single one of them, but he didn't... to the best of his ability, and up to the limits set by the batsh*t crazy Washington environment in which he has to operate.

Finally, is it so certain that he will lose in Act III? We're not so sure. He has survived thus far, and is probably more popular than ever...

In reelection bid, Trump pushes Afghan troop withdrawal to meet campaign promise

As negotiators for the U.S.-backed Afghan government and the Taliban militants hold historic peace talks in Qatar, few are expecting a deal to be easy or even successful.

The two sides -- who have been at war for nearly two decades and continue to kill each other even during the Doha negotiations -- are far apart on key issues like women's rights and the implementation of Shari'a law as they seek to reach a power-sharing agreement and permanent cease-fire.

But those difficulties are not preventing President Donald Trump from pushing for the removal of more U.S. troops from Afghanistan by the November 3 election as he seeks to end the United States' longest war.

With just weeks to go in a tight reelection bid against Democratic candidate Joe Biden, Trump is seeking to score points by fulfilling -- though not entirely -- a campaign promise to bring U.S. troops home from the "endless wars" in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Some military officials, members of Congress, and analysts have expressed concern that a quick withdrawal of U.S. soldiers could lead to the collapse of the Afghan government and hand control of the South Asian country back to the Taliban that U.S.-led forces overthrew in 2001.

"We're going down to 4,000 [troops], we're negotiating right now," Trump said in an interview with Axios on July 28 that was aired on August 3. He added that the total number of troops would be between 4,000 and 5,000 by Election Day.

US envoy: Russia agree to arms control deal with no NATO scaleback or US will 'modernize nukes without START'

The US has made Russia an offer it hopes she won't refuse: accept a new arms control deal including no limits on NATO weapons in Europe, or deal with a modernized American nuclear arsenal on its doorstep.

Following the US' unilateral withdrawal from the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) treaty last year, the 2011 New START treaty remains the only arms control deal in force between Moscow and Washington. However, it's due to expire in February, and negotiations to replace it remain deadlocked.

Now the US says it wants to extend new START by less than five years, and only by a memorandum of intent, rather than a binding treaty, according to Marshall Billingslea, US Special Presidential Envoy for Arms Control, who spoke with the Russian daily Kommersant on Sunday.

However, when it comes to hammering out a new deal, Washington has some demands. The first of these demands is that China be made a party to the deal. Russia has no opposition to this in theory, but insists that if China be rolled in, so too should Britain and France.
