Artifice of Eternity

Is Hillary Clinton mentioned in the Epstein Files? Hillary Clinton 's name appears in Jeffrey Epstein's files, but largely in a peripheral or indirect capacity. According to recent reports and document releases as of February 2026:   Frequency and Nature of Mentions : Her name appears in over  700 files  within the Epstein documents. However, the vast majority of these instances are simply  news articles  about her 2016 presidential campaign that were shared with or by Epstein. Direct Interaction : There is  no public evidence  in the files or otherwise that Hillary Clinton had a direct personal relationship with Epstein or was involved in his criminal activities. In a February 2026 deposition, she testified under oath that she  never met Jeffrey Epstein  and never visited his homes or private island. Connection to Ghislaine Maxwell : Clinton has acknowledged meeting Epstein's associate, Ghislaine Maxwell, on a few occasions. Maxwell was a "...

  The visually impaired refugee from Myanmar had spent a year at a county jail in Buffalo, when, on a cold winter day, he was picked up by Border Patrol agents and left alone at a coffee shop. Five days later, he was found dead.  The case, first reported by the Buffalo nonprofit news outlet Investigative Post, triggered outrage across New York State. Public officials and immigration advocates expressed dismay over the officers’ decision to drive the refugee, Nurul Amin Shah Alam, 56, to the coffee shop without apparently telling his relatives or his lawyer where he was. City officials said that Mr. Shah Alam could not speak English. The circumstances that spelled the fate of Mr. Shah Alam remain murky. His body was found at about 8:30 p.m. on Tuesday, miles away from the Tim Hortons restaurant where the officers had released him from their custody. The Buffalo Police Department said that he had died of health complications but did not further specify the results of a...

That they listen to Isaiah the prophet, before it is too late for them: Is this not, rather, the fast that I choose:      releasing those bound unjustly,      untying the thongs of the yoke; Setting free the oppressed,      breaking off every yoke? 7  Is it not sharing your bread with the hungry,      bringing the afflicted and the homeless into your house; Clothing the naked when you see them,      and not turning your back on your own flesh? 8  THEN your light shall break forth like the dawn,      and your wound shall quickly be healed; Your vindication shall go before you,      and the glory of the  Lord  shall be your rear guard. 9  THEN you shall call, and the  Lord  will answer,      you shall cry for help, and he will say: “Here I am!” If you remove the yoke from among you,   ...

Howard Lutnick is the architect of Trump’s tariff strategy. And yet… Cantor Fitzgerald , the financial firm formerly led by current Commerce Secretary  Howard Lutnick , actively sought to purchase  tariff refund rights  from companies in  2025 . While Lutnick himself stepped down as chairman and divested his ownership into trusts for his children before taking office, the firm is now run by his sons,  Brandon  and  Kyle Lutnick .

The MAHA Moms have turned on President Trump. President Trump’s executive order aimed at spurring production of a pesticide has infuriated leaders of Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s MAHA movement When Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. threw his support behind Mr. Trump’s 2024 campaign for the White House, his corps of health conscious, mostly female, followers embraced the president, who   pledged to address   Americans’ concerns about “toxins in our environments and pesticides in our food.” Some of the women, who call themselves the MAHA  Moms after Mr. Kennedy’s Make America Healthy Again movement, abandoned the Democratic Party to vote for Mr. Trump. But the executive order  Mr. Trump issued Wednesday  to increase domestic production of glyphosate — a widely used weedkiller and possible carcinogen that has been the target of thousands of lawsuits, including one brought by Mr. Kennedy — stunned and infuriated the activists. It now threatens to tu...

President Trump has repeatedly promised that his steep tariffs would reduce U.S. imports, shrink the trade deficit and lead to a revival in American manufacturing. So far, the opposite has occurred. U.S. imports grew last year, and the trade deficit in goods hit a record high, data released Thursday showed, as Mr. Trump’s policies scrambled trade but did not halt it. That was consistent with other data suggesting that companies have rerouted orders and revamped supply chains to skirt tariffs but have not, so far, brought production back to the United States en masse. American manufacturers have cut more than 80,000 jobs in the past year.

”There are two minor girls who have accused Trump of rape, and both accusers appear in the Epstein files.  Julie K. Brown, the Pulitzer-winning reporter who broke the Epstein story wide open, reports: One allegation against Trump involves a woman who used the pseudonym Katie Johnson and later, Jane Doe, in lawsuits she filed against Trump and Epstein in 2016. She alleged that in 1994, when she was 13, she was sexually assaulted by Trump at Epstein’s New York mansion. The first assault happened at a models’ party, but there were subsequent rapes over that summer involving Trump and Epstein, according to the lawsuit. The suit was accompanied by two sworn affidavits — one of them from an unnamed woman who said she was the recruiter who brought Johnson to the party and witnessed what happened.  Johnson was about to go public before the 2016 election, but after receiving death threats, abruptly dropped the lawsuit and has not been heard from since.  Trump’s handlers at the tim...

Steve Bannon courted Epstein in his efforts to ‘take down’ Pope Francis. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. So your friend runs a pedophile ring. Akin to how Marshal, Craig, Stan, and Glenn and  raging, irrational right wing nut jobs have spent decades hating on NYC and Washington. Just like Islamic extremists. And for the same imaginary, psychotic reasons.

“The federal immigration agents who shot Marimar Martinez five times in October had said minutes earlier that it's "time to get aggressive" before swerving their patrol car into the Chicago teacher's vehicle and opening fire, according to newly released body camera footage of the three Border Patrol agents. A judge released the footage from one of the agents on Wednesday after a months-long court battle to release evidence in the Department of Homeland Security's now-dissolved criminal case against the 30-year-old woman. Martinez said she wanted the federal court to release the government's evidence so that the public could see how DHS lied about her case. According to the footage, two of the agents already had their guns drawn inside their car while driving through the city's South Side. Driving next to them, Martinez begins honking to alert the area of Border Patrol's presence while another car does the same, driving behind the agents. "Do som...

Remember how Marshal and Craig and Glenn supported Judge Roy Moore’s candidacy for Senate? It probably wasn’t because he didn’t go after girls below 13? Or was it 10? Right? In hindsight, they were just strengthening the muscles they use to strangle their conscience.  Republicans today. ___ Two days ago (even as other victims were talked about in the files, aged 14 and 12): Sen. Cynthia Lummis (R-Wyo.) on Monday said she now understands “what the big deal is” after reviewing unredacted files tied to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. “I’ve not been one of the members who has glommed on to this as an issue,” Lummis said in an interview with journalist Pablo Manríquez. “I’ve sort of intentionally deferred to others to find out about it. But nine-year-old victims … Wow.” “Well, initially, my reaction to all this was, ‘I don’t care. I don’t know what the big deal is.’ But now I see what the big deal is, and it was worth investigating,” she added. “And the members of Cong...

Somehow the NFL, working to beatify its reputation (as every capitalist corporation must to expand its revenue in order to survive), has hosted two artists who have told us the two stories we need so much to hear. In reverse order. Kendrick Lamar named the evils against which we all should bind ourselves together in order to fight for justice, equity, and care. Bad Bunny told us who we are. Yes! Almost all of us in all of the Americas - aside from the purely indigenous - are made up of diverse DNA and the legacies of a mix of cultures. Almost all us are here because our ancestors were desperate, debt driven, criminal or in trouble, marginalized, or downright enslaved. Our origins gave birth to modernity and globalism. As well as the brutality that shapes modernity and its attendant global ills. We, on these western continents and islands, are so much more alike, from Edmonton to Tierrra del Fuego, than any other super or even small region on earth. We are children of all the other cont...

  Thus says the LORD: Share your bread with the hungry, shelter the oppressed and the homeless; clothe the naked when you see them, and do not turn your back on your own. Then your light shall break forth like the dawn, and your wound shall quickly be healed; your vindication shall go before you, and the glory of the LORD shall be your rear guard. Then you shall call, and the LORD will answer, you shall cry for help, and he will say: Here I am! If you remove from your midst oppression, false accusation and malicious speech; if you bestow your bread on the hungry and satisfy the afflicted; then light shall rise for you in the darkness, and the gloom shall become for you like midday.

  Mexican Cartels Overwhelm Police With Ammunition Made for the U.S. Military Drug syndicates have used .50-caliber ammunition, produced at a plant owned by the U.S. Army and then smuggled across the border, in attacks on Mexican civilians and police.

My life is about an 80% mix of Chinese goods, Western European decision-making, and aspirational Black soul. So I’m ready for the rest of this century.

The sun is at high noon. Raging. Pretending can give up. All of creation and all reason knows. He is a sick, ugly souled bastard. And the future of the Untied Stares is terminal unless he dies before he kills it. It’s a post-America world.

“President Donald Trump shares racist video depicting former President Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama as monkeys.”

" It's Thursday in New York City, where the heavily armed  NYPD  unit that responds to protests needs to be completely overhauled, according to a former official who helped create the group. "I did not like the idea of ... having a unit that carried heavy weapons, but then was also responsible for facilitating First Amendment assemblies," said Anthony Raganella, a retired NYPD deputy inspector who said he was integral in the formation of the Strategic Response Group. Raganella's criticism comes as Mayor Zohran Mamdani calls for dismantling the unit — which  continues to deploy to protests , including an anti-ICE demonstration last month where police arrested more than 60 protesters. For the full story of how this unit evolved from a counterterrorism force into a protest policing squad,  listen to the latest episode of our NYC NOW podcast .

Craig wouldn’t mind us killing all or nearly all Palestinians if we wanted the land. For that matter, he couldn’t care - by his own standard - if we killed all or nearly all Jews if we wanted the land. So. Greenland. And anywhere. So, too, goes a woman’s womb. Or, in Trumpers’ world, her pussy. Such is the identity of White Supremacy that goes by the fake name, “Christian.” For the millions’ minion brutalists like Craig, violence is justified because of violence. The tautologies that people like Craig need to hide the hell they made to replace their god given heart. https://jsmmds.blogspot.com/2026/02/dumb-as-post.html?m=1

Jeannine Pirro, the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, on Monday threatened jail time for anyone who enters the capital with a gun. In remarks on Fox News that could deepen a growing rift between gun owners and the Trump administration, Ms. Pirro declared that if anyone brings “a gun into the District, you mark my words, you’re going to jail. I don’t care if you have a license in another district and I don’t care if you’re a law-abiding law owner somewhere else.”

https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1EBVHcetbB/?mibextid=wwXIfr AI: “Yes,  the Department of Justice (DOJ) released thousands of documents and media files related to Jeffrey Epstein in late 2025 and early 2026 that contained "sloppy redactions," inadvertently exposing the personal information of numerous victims. While the reports focus on the failure of the redaction process (leaving names, email addresses, and nude photos visible), it was reported that in some instances, redacted text in these documents could be easily uncovered, such as by copying and pasting the text into other formats.”

From the redacted Epstein files released yesterday (reported by The Times UK): In the Epstein files document, the woman’s lawyer describes how the woman was allegedly enticed to New York City in the summer of 1994 on the pretence of kickstarting her modelling career but was sexually abused by Trump and Epstein at a number of parties. “During the first party, Doe was asked to strip down to her underwear and give a massage to Epstein,” the account says. “Doe was asked by Epstein to do sexual acts, but she refused. Doe was later asked to massage the penis of Epstein’s guest, Trump, with her hands. Doe was told that this was what she had to do in order to get a job and Doe complied. “During the second party, Doe was asked to perform oral sex on Trump and complied. During the third party, Doe was made to perform oral sex on Trump with another young girl named [redacted]. During the fourth visit, Doe was raped by Trump … “Epstein was angry that Trump was the one to take Doe’s virginity and t...
