Congress Allows CLOSED-DOOR Testimony From Key Epstein Witness Alex Acosta — Why?

In Congressional testimony last week, FBI Director Kash Patel described then-U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Florida Alexander Acosta as the perpetrator of the “original sin” in the now decades-long Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking/blackmail cover-up (emphasis added):

“Now I know that there’s a lot of talk about Epstein. And I’m here to testify that the original sin in the Epstein case was the way it was initially brought by Mr. Acosta back in 2006.

The original case involved a very limited search warrant or set of search warrants and didn’t take as much investigatory material it should have seized.

If I were the FBI director then, it wouldn’t have happened. The search warrants were limited to small time periods to include 2002 to 2005 and 1997 to 2001. Mr. Acosta allowed Epstein to enter in 2008 to a plea and non prosecution agreement, which then the courts issued mandates and protective orders legally prohibiting anyone from ever seeing that material ever again without the permission of the court.

The non-prosecution agreements also bar future prosecutions for those involved at that time of those individuals.”

(Patel, incidentally, which he should not be allowed to forget, publicly pressured the FBI to release the Epstein files in 2023 when he was a podcaster chasing clout has subsequently experienced an incredulous change of heart now that he actually has the power to.)

When Acosta was being vetted for Labor Secretary under Trump 45 — a curious appointment in its own right — he explained the sweetheart 2007 plea deal away by claiming he had been “told Epstein ‘belonged to intelligence’ and to leave it alone.”

One weekend, two countries proved you can bring global travel to a halt with a hacked computer and a couple of cut cables.

The global aviation system just showed how fragile it really is. Over one weekend, two major airport networks broke down at the same time. In Europe, a cyberattack took out automated boarding systems across multiple airports, hitting Heathrow, Brussels, and Berlin hard. In Texas, a collapse of fiber optic cables and contractor errors shut down radar and radio systems at DFW, grounding hundreds of flights. These were not random glitches. They exposed weaknesses in systems that were supposed to be safe, redundant, and reliable.

In Europe, Collins Aerospace, a subsidiary of RTX, manages the Multi-User System Environment, or MUSE. It handles check-ins, boarding passes, baggage tags, and kiosks for dozens of airports. When it was hacked, all of that stopped. Over 500 flights were canceled or delayed. Passengers were stranded. Staff had to process check-ins by hand. The chaos spread fast.

Brussels Airport confirmed the breach:

“There was a cyberattack on Friday night 19 September against the service provider for the check-in and boarding systems affecting several European airports including Brussels Airport. This has a large impact on the flight schedule and will unfortunately cause delays and cancellations of flights.”

In Texas, two cut fiber optic cables and contractor mistakes took down radar and radio networks. American Airlines canceled more than 530 flights at DFW in a single day. The FAA admitted that this showed “outdated infrastructure” and called for urgent modernization, but that warning came after the damage was done.

“The issue originally stemmed from two cut fiber optic cables, impacting the primary and secondary paths of data that support the FAA’s area radars, radio systems and computer systems.”

Paul Charles, former Virgin Atlantic communications director, said the European breach raises serious questions:

“Many in the industry are surprised that a company of the stature and scale of Collins Aerospace has been victim of such a cyber attack. It is one of the most experienced systems suppliers in the world to airports and airlines, and governments including the UK. If Collins can be hacked so easily then you have to question all suppliers.”

Adam Schiff, Tim Kaine Introduce Bill To Protect Caribbean Drug Traffickers From Trump Strikes

In the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk assassination as well as the confirmation that alleged killer Tyler Robinson is a far-left ideologue and gay man living with a transgender partner, the public's attention has once again turned to the issue of Antifa, an activist network that shares many similar political beliefs with the shooter.

Federal authorities are currently investigating the Discord sever groups used by Robinson in the lead up to the attack to find any potential co-conspirators. Discord has been identified as a common forum used by Antifa for organizing members for specific events while pretending as if their protests are random and "grassroots".

In the meantime, the corporate media is once again running interference for Antifa, claiming that the group is nothing more than a gaggle of disconnected people without no affiliation other than they "agree to oppose fascists".

Of course, simply declaring yourself the "good guys" does not necessarily make it so.

Sens. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) and Tim Kaine (D-Va.) introduced a resolution on Friday aimed at halting U.S. military strikes on drug trafficking operations in the Caribbean, saying the actions were launched without congressional approval.

The measure, filed under the War Powers Act, would prohibit use of the military against non-state groups involved in drug trafficking unless Congress authorizes it. War powers resolutions are privileged, meaning the Senate must take up the measure for debate and a vote.

The move follows two recent military strikes in the Southern Caribbean Sea—on Sept. 2 and Sept. 15—that targeted vessels that were carrying narcotics. Democratic lawmakers say they have not received key details about the incidents, including who was on board, the cargo, and the legal basis for lethal force.

President Donald Trump has said the vessels belonged to “extraordinarily violent drug trafficking cartels and narcoterrorists” operating out of Venezuela. He said the boats were carrying narcotics bound for the United States, calling them a direct threat to U.S. national security and vital interests.

“If you are transporting drugs that can kill Americans, we are hunting you,” Trump said after the Sept. 15 operation, which killed three people. He added there was “recorded evidence” that drugs were on board, including large bags of cocaine and fentanyl scattered in the water after the strike.

“Congress alone holds the power to declare war,” Schiff said in announcing the resolution. “And while we share with the executive branch the imperative of preventing and deterring drugs from reaching our shores, blowing up boats without any legal justification risks dragging the United States into another war and provoking unjustified hostilities against our own citizens.”

Reminder of who she is

Attorney General Pam Bondi: "There's free speech and then there's hate speech, and there is no place, especially now, especially after what happened to Charlie, in our society…We will absolutely target you, go after you, if you are targeting anyone with hate speech."

AI data centers are eating your power bills, 35% jump in U.S. electricity costs! This is the biggest financial problem our society faces.

The lights are still on, but keeping them that way is getting expensive fast. No one in charge wants to admit how bad it has become. Electricity in the average U.S. city now costs 18 cents per kilowatt-hour. That is a 35 percent increase in five years. Prices are rising faster than wages, faster than inflation, and faster than any explanation can cover. Utilities have requested or secured $29 billion in rate hikes in the first half of 2025 alone. The second quarter added another $9 billion, affecting more than 40 million households. That means your air conditioner costs more, your refrigerator eats more of your paycheck, and your local grid is under strain from machines no one asked for, controls, or can turn off.

“Residential electricity prices hit 18¢/kWh on average in April 2025—a 35% increase over five years. Utilities requested or received approval for $29 billion in rate increases in just the first half of 2025. Data centers, aging infrastructure, extreme heat, and regulatory changes are fueling rising costs nationwide.” Source: https://www.consumeraffairs.com/news/whos-paying-for-all-the-electricity-those-new-data-centers-are-using-080125.html

The surge is no accident. AI data centers, Bitcoin mining farms, and cloud infrastructure are eating up electricity at levels once unimaginable. A single AI data center can use as much power as 80,000 homes. Training one generative AI model can consume as much electricity as 100 U.S. homes in a year. By 2030, these facilities could use 9 percent of all electricity generated in the U.S., not counting the energy needed to cool, secure, or back them up.

“A single AI data center can consume as much electricity as 80,000 U.S. households. MIT found that training just one generative AI model can use the same amount of energy as 100 average U.S. homes over a year.” Source: https://electricityrates.com/resources/rising-energy-costs/

The U.S. has zero nuclear power plants under construction. China has nearly 30. That gap is not just embarrassing, it is dangerous. While China expands its capacity for the future, the U.S. throws billions at patching old infrastructure. The grid was never meant for this kind of digital load. The Energy Information Administration predicts retail electricity prices will rise another 2 percent this year and up to 18 percent regionally by 2026. Families will face record bills every summer until the system either collapses or forces a reckoning.

This is not a tech boom. It is a slow drain on resources. The people paying are not the ones building the servers. They are watching bills climb while wages stagnate, while cities bake under heat waves, while corporate expansion quietly shifts costs onto families who never agreed to host these machines.

‘ISN’T COMING BACK DOWN’: Reserve Bank’s brutal price warning

Forget about cheaper prices, the RBA has delivered a brutal reality check about the new normal in Australia.

“We know that high inflation has pushed prices up across the board over the past few years,” she said.

“While inflation has fallen materially, the price level isn’t coming back down.”

Ms Bullock said this would continue to impact everyone, although it would hurt poorer Australians the most.
