Ghislaine Maxwell is left 'starving' and hasn't eaten for five days as medicine 'is shut off' at broke hellhole jail

Ghislaine Maxwell has been left ‘starving’ this Thanksgiving after the jail where she is serving a 20-year sentence for child sex trafficking ‘ran out of money’.

Sources say convicted madam Maxwell, 62, and other inmates at FCI Tallahassee in Florida are ‘going hungry’ because of the lack of food.

One source said: ‘This has been going on since last week. The inmates have been told the Bureau of Prisons has run out of money and Ghislaine and the others have been left starving.

‘Portion sizes have been cut from 8oz to 2oz and Ghislaine hasn’t had food for five days. The prison says it can’t afford to buy the vegetarian diet plan she is on. She and the others are going hungry.’

Prisoners have been told there is ‘no money for medication’.

Another person familiar with the situation said: ‘The prisoners who need medication, everything from chemotherapy drugs to blood pressure medication, were pulled to one side and told there isn’t money for the drugs.

‘It’s insane.’

Maxwell this week lost the latest round of her appeal against her December 2021 conviction for her role in sexually abusing multiple minor girls alongside ex-boyfriend Jeffrey Epstein.

The former socialite and close friend of Prince Andrew’s was convicted of luring girls as young as 14 into Epstein’s clutches.

She has always vehemently denied the charges and continued to deny them in a jailhouse interview with international journalist Daphne Barak for The Mail on Sunday.

Maxwell told Barak that meeting Epstein was ‘the greatest mistake of my life’ adding: ‘I didn’t know that he was so awful. I mean, obviously now, looking back with hindsight, of course.

‘But at the time, I mean he had lots of friends. He was friendly with just about everybody you could imagine. There was no reason to imagine that he was someone who was capable of evil.’

Her lawyers are planning to appeal her case all the way to the US Supreme Court.

Epstein, a convicted pedophile, killed himself in a New York jail in 2019 after being arrested on multiple child sex charges.

A source said: ‘People have no sympathy for prisoners but there is a difference between an inmate serving time for a crime and being inhumanely punished. What is going on in Tallahassee is inhumane.’

A Department of Justice report last year was scathing about conditions inside the Tallahassee prison which was found to have moldy food, rat droppings and rotten vegetables.

Prison inspectors described conditions as ‘alarming’ with prisoners resorting to using feminine hygiene products to plug leaks in ceilings and windows.

The 49-page December 2023 report said: ‘We observed moldy bread being served as well as discolored and rotting vegetables in a food preparation refrigerator at the female prison. In the food storage warehouses, we found likely evidence of rodent droppings, as well as bags of cereal with insects in them and warped food containers.

‘We also found that female housing unit roofs routinely leak and that all five general population housing unit roofs need to be replaced. Many female inmates live in housing units in which water frequently leaks from ceilings and windows on or near their living spaces.

'We observed housing areas in which feminine hygiene products were being used to absorb water from leaking windows.’

Last night, the Federal Bureau of Prisons refused to comment.

X-odus: @EFJEUROPE account will be frozen from 20 January 2025

The European Federation of Journalists (EFJ) has decided it will no longer post content on Elon Musk’s social media platform, X, from 20 January 2025, when Donald J. Trump will officially become the 47th President of the United States.

Like many European media outlets (The Guardian, Dagens Nyheter, La Vanguardia, Ouest-France, Sud-Ouest, etc.) and journalists’ organisations, such as the German Journalists’ Association (DJV), the EFJ considers that it can no longer ethically participate in a social network that its owner has transformed into a machine of disinformation and propaganda.

In the aftermath of the American elections, the EFJ noted the threat to democracy and freedom of expression posed by the collusion between the president of the most powerful country in the world, Donald J. Trump, and the richest man in the world, Elon Musk, who is also the owner of the social network X and who has been picked to lead a new “Department of Government Efficiency” (Doge) when Donald J. Trump takes charge as president on 20 January 2025.

Just after Trump’s election, Elon Musk, who has been active in American politics as a vocal and financial supporter of Donald J. Trump, said that legacy media is dead, claiming that “most legacy media lied relentlessly to the public”.

“We cannot continue to participate in feeding the social network of a man who proclaims the death of the media and therefore of journalists,” said EFJ President Maja Sever. “The social media site X has become the preferred vector for conspiracy theories, racism, far-right ideas and misogynistic rhetoric. X is a platform that no longer serves the public interest at all, but the particular ideological and financial interests of its owner and his political allies.”

“The editorial evolution of X, since its acquisition by Elon Musk, is simply in contradiction with our humanist values, our commitment to press freedom and media pluralism, and our fight against all forms of hatred and discrimination. The decision to suspend our @EFJEUROPE account seemed obvious to us and we invite our affiliates and all organisations that defend freedom of expression to migrate to other platforms,” ​​added EFJ General Secretary Ricardo Gutiérrez.

Trump’s election should prompt Europe to better protect journalists

No journalist should be indifferent to the election of Donald J. Trump as the 47th President of the United States. His relationship with journalism and his approach to the exercise of power will have global consequences. More than ever before, in Europe, and everywhere else in the world, the profession must stand firmly in defense of a robust press that can report the facts freely and hold power to account safely. The European Federation of Journalists (EFJ) and its affiliates join all those committed to defending journalism as a cornerstone of democracy.

Donald J. Trump has called for journalists to be imprisoned and raped for not revealing their sources. A week ago, at one of his rallies, he fantasized about a mass shooting of journalists. And just after his election, Elon Musk, the owner of the social network X, who has been active in American politics as a vocal and financial supporter of Donald J. Trump, said that legacy media is dead, claiming that “most legacy media lied relentlessly to the public”.

“These outrageous accusations are just part of Mr. Trump’s beloved “alternative facts.” This is pure disinformation,” said EFJ President Maja Sever. “As a non-partisan, non-profit professional organisation, it is our duty to defend the rights of citizens to access free, independent and credible information. Donald Trump’s hostile rhetoric towards journalists and the media must not prompt European governments to abandon their obligations to ensure the safety of journalists and to create a favourable environment for the freedom of expression, including press freedom”.

Trump’s anti-press rhetoric has already prompted many of his admirers, around the world and in Europe, to retaliate against the media. With Donald J. Trump back in the White House, they will feel even more empowered to harass the press.

“Mr. Trump’s victory not only challenges American journalism, but also European journalism,” confirmed EFJ General Secretary Ricardo Gutiérrez. “The most worrying element, in my eyes, is the collusion between the President of the world’s greatest power and the richest man in the world, Elon Musk, who has a frightening capacity to control public opinion, through social networks. He appears as a particularly influential political actor of the extreme right. It is now urgent that the European Union (EU), as a regional power, regulates the domination of American and Asian Big Tech, via the EU Digital Markets Act (DMA) and the EU Digital Services Act (DSA). The EU must also develop a technological policy aimed at Europe’s strategic autonomy. Without a protective technological environment, European journalism is condemned to marginalization and invisibility”.

“The European Union can no longer simply ask Big Tech companies to assess the systemic risk stemming from the use of their services,” added EFJ Director Renate Schroeder. “The EU should consider Tech Giants and the developers of generative artificial intelligence as potential high risk actors against democracy, and take the necessary actions to protect the public interest. Without agreements on fair remuneration and copyright, journalists and independent media will not survive. We are very concerned that further concentration in the AI sector will have a devastating impact on journalism.”

Ontario Human Rights Tribunal fines Emo Township for refusing Pride proclamation

The township and mayor are ordered to pay 15-thousand dollars to Borderland Pride

In a decision handed down last week, the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario ruled that Emo, its mayor and two of its councillors had violated the Ontario Human Rights Code by refusing to proclaim June as “Pride Month.”

The town was also cited for failing to fly “an LGBTQ2 rainbow flag,” despite the fact that they don’t have an official flag pole.
