Legendary broadcast journalist once called 'the most trusted man in America' Walter Cronkite appears in newly released Epstein flight logs

Newly released flight manifest records from Jeffrey Epstein's private plane include legendary broadcast journalist Walter Cronkite.

The revered journalist - often dubbed 'the most trusted man in America' - appeared in documents made public on Friday by the House Oversight Committee. Also in the logs were Prince Andrew, Bill Gates, and Richard Branson.

The documents did not suggest wrongdoing for Cronkite or any of the names listed. But it could reveal the scope of Epstein's network as well as who had access to his properties.

The flight logs show the 91-year-old Cronkite boarded a flight in the depths of winter on January 12, 2007 and took a plane from Newark, New Jersey to St. Thomas in the US Virgin Islands.

Cronkite was among eight passengers on board including Jeffrey Epstein who was likely hosting the group at one of his two private islands - Little St. James and Great St. James - located just off the coast of St. Thomas.

The logs were released as part of a broader package which also included a full transcript of the committee's September interview with Alex Acosta, the former US attorney who engineered Epstein's controversial 2008 plea deal.

During that testimony, Acosta defended his actions, citing challenges inherent in the case including shifting victim accounts, weaknesses in evidence, and a fear that a full trial could collapse.

'Many victims refused to testify. Many victims had changing stories,' he told investigators, explaining that some of his decision-making was grounded in pragmatism.

As ordinary Americans skip meals and sell their furniture to stay housed, billionaire wealth balloons by $33 trillion in a decade

The gap between survival and wealth has never looked this brutal.

Americans are sacrificing small joys like vacations and eating out, selling their belongings, and skipping meals to afford housing.

Meanwhile, billionaire wealth rose by $33 trillion in the last ten years.

These two things are related.

Tests Find High Levels Of Lead In Protein Powders, Shakes: Consumer Reports

Popular protein powders and shakes contain high levels of lead, Consumer Reports (CR) said on Oct. 14.

Twenty-two of 23 products tested by CR had detectable amounts of lead, and more than two-thirds had unsafe levels of lead, according to the organization.

“About 70 percent of products we tested contained over 120 percent of CR’s level of concern for lead, which is 0.5 micrograms per day,” CR said.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration says there are no known safe levels of lead.

“The FDA can take action if it finds unsafe lead levels, but the lack of enforceable standards means it doesn’t happen nearly enough,” Brian Ronholm, CR’s director of food policy, said in a statement.

He said that the FDA should establish enforceable limits for foods and supplements.

“FDA does not comment on outside studies. The agency continues to follow gold-standard science to protect consumers,” a spokesperson for the Department of Health and Human Services, the parent agency of the FDA, told The Epoch Times via email.

An FDA spokesperson also told CR that it would review the findings from the testing “along with other data we have collected to better inform where to focus our testing efforts and enforcement activities.”

CR is a nonprofit that describes itself as working with consumers “for truth, transparency, and fairness in the marketplace.”

CR found Huel’s black edition, chocolate flavor, and Naked Nutrition’s Vegan Mass Gainer had the highest levels of lead per serving. Huel did not respond to a request for comment by publication time.

A Naked Nutrition spokesperson told The Epoch Times in an email that the tested product is a weight gainer, so it has a larger serving size than standard protein powders.

Gold Confiscation Risk Explodes

“Gold’s record-shattering rally past $4,000 isn’t a bull market—it’s a bear market in trust,” warns Simon Mikhailovich, co-founder and managing partner of The Bullion Reserve, in a new interview with Daniela Cambone. He says the surge reflects a deepening loss of confidence in Western financial systems, not speculative exuberance. “This is not about price—it’s about safety. We’re witnessing a once-in-a-century transition,” he explains, pointing to de-dollarization and unprecedented central bank demand.

Mikhailovich argues that while Western investors have barely entered the market, global central banks and non-Western nations are driving the move to gold amid “a slow-motion walk on the bank.” He also warns of growing geopolitical fractures, citing the Dutch government’s seizure of a Chinese-owned chipmaker as “Russian reserve freeze 2.0”—a signal that property rights in the West can no longer be taken for granted. “These are not tactical moves. This is a paradigm shift,” he says.

Nestlé Aims to Cut 16,000 Jobs as Part of Plan to Cut Costs

Nestle, the world’s largest packaged-food company, is trimming its workforce by 16,000 over the next two years as it seeks to “substantially” reduce costs under its new CEO Philipp Navratil.

In the Thursday announcement, Navratil established a new goal to achieve cost savings of 3 billion Swiss francs by the end of 2027, which is higher than its previous target.

“As Nestle moves forward, we will be rigorous in our approach to resource allocation, prioritizing the opportunities and businesses with the highest potential returns,” Navratil said.

Boston Scientific Buys Remaining Equity of The Nalu Neurostimulation System

Boston Scientific has been a strategic investor in Nalu Medical since 2017. The transaction consists of an upfront cash payment of approximately $533 million for the remaining equity not owned by Boston Scientific.*

The Nalu Neurostimulation System is designed to deliver targeted relief for adults living with severe, intractable chronic pain of peripheral nerve origin, including areas such as the shoulder, lower back and knee, through peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS). The therapy uses mild electrical impulses to interrupt pain signals before they reach the brain. The system features a miniaturized, battery-free implantable pulse generator, powered wirelessly by a small, externally worn therapy disc and controlled via a smartphone app.

Nalu Medical received U.S. Food and Drug Administration 510(k) clearance for the Nalu system in 2019. In the COMFORT and COMFORT 2 randomized controlled trials, evaluating the safety and efficacy of PNS, the system demonstrated significant and sustained pain relief for patients. In COMFORT, 87% of participants reported more than a 50% reduction in pain at 12 months,i while in COMFORT 2, 79% of patients reached an average pain relief of 64% at six months.ii Real-world data from more than 2,000 individuals reinforced these findings, with 94% of patients achieving clinically meaningful improvement across a broad range of chronic peripheral nerve pain conditions.iii

“Peripheral nerve stimulation is an exciting field with a significant unmet patient need,”

Global debt reaches $337 trillion and investors rush into assets that actually hold value

The elephant in the room isn’t hiding. Nobody trusts fiat money anymore. You can see it everywhere if you stop listening to the TV. Cash allocations for institutional investors are down to 3.8 percent, the lowest in 12 years. That is not random. That is a signal. Everyone is moving, shifting. Stocks at record highs, gold piling up, crypto wallets swelling. People are scrambling to anything that actually holds value.

The Fed isn’t in control. They never were, maybe. Independence is just a story we tell ourselves. Rate cuts are coming while stagflation eats budgets alive. Global debt jumped $14 trillion in one quarter, $337.7 trillion now. Every single one percent in rates adds three point $3 trillion in interest. That is insane. That is enough to break cities if they try to pay it with normal budgets. And yet they talk about “volatility” like it is a weather report.

Pensions are a mess. One point $2 trillion funding gap in the US. One mistake, one slow quarter, and retirees are the ones left with empty plates. This is structural. Cash yields five percent on paper, but real returns are negative once you factor in debt and credit stress. Every dollar you keep in the bank is quietly shrinking. Liquidity is no longer real savings. It is credit pretending to be money.

Look at AI. Corporations pouring hundreds of billions into it. Governments lining up to join the arms race. That money has to come from somewhere. Printed money. Endless. People who get this are moving into assets. Gold, crypto, AI equities. These aren’t bets. They are survival. Collateral migration. People abandoning faith in fiat and moving to things that actually hold up.

We are past inflation, past deflation. This is entropy. Money decays because trust decays. That is the only yield left. Policy is reactive, not proactive. Bonds are the real central bank now. The Fed is absorbed into fiscal dominance. Capital votes with its feet and it is walking out of cash. The system reacts too late, every rate cut just makes the cracks wider.

Most people act like nothing is happening. Like the system is solid. Economists nod and smile. Talking heads repeat the same phrases. They don’t get it. They never did. While the media distracts, the real moves are in vaults, wallets, and data centers. Every policy, every fiscal handout, every rate change is reshaping trust, not money.

This is human. Numbers tell one story but the real impact hits in kitchens and offices and empty bank accounts. Your paycheck buys less, pensions are underfunded, savings accounts are relics. And still, people pretend stability is normal. They are wrong. Trust is the only currency that matters now, and it is slipping through our fingers faster than anyone will admit.

Dagestani Islamist linked to 2023 antisemitic pogrom in Russia found dead in Istanbul

Abakar Abakarov, accused of inciting mob targeting Jewish passengers at Makhachkala Airport, discovered dead in rented villa with multiple stab wounds; Turkish police launch probe amid fears for safety of Russian dissidents in exile

Abakar Abakarov, a Dagestani citizen and opposition activist wanted by Russian authorities for his alleged role in organizing an antisemitic pogrom at a Russian airport in October 2023, was found stabbed to death on Friday in a leased villa in Istanbul, Turkish officials said.

Abakarov, who ran the Telegram channel Utro Dagestan (“Morning Dagestan” in Russian), was discovered dead after apparently employing a false name to lease the villa on October 6 as he sought refuge from political persecution in Russia. Turkish police opened a criminal investigation following his death.

Russian authorities had placed Abakarov on their wanted list in November 2023, accusing him of incitement and attributing to him one of three main leadership roles in the pogrom at Makhachkala Airport in the Republic of Dagestan, where protesters targeted a flight from Tel Aviv, chanting antisemitic slogans and attempting to hunt for Jewish passengers.

Turkish investigators say surveillance footage shows a visitor arriving at the villa on October 7 carrying two suitcases and departing soon afterward. Abakarov’s cause of death was identified as multiple stab wounds, and the body was transferred to a forensic institute for examination.

In a statement, the Dagestani expatriate community in Turkey condemned the killing as “an attack on the freedom of the Dagestani people,” describing Abakarov as the “voice of truth” against injustice in Russia. The statement called on God to “reward his courage” and extended condolences to his family.

Still, his published record of antisemitic rhetoric and his alleged role in fomenting the airport violence have raised widespread concern. That unrest injured around 20 people and triggered multiple detentions; Russian courts have since handed down prison sentences to several participants.

Civil‑society observers note the killing raises urgent questions about the safety of Russian exiles abroad and the reach of transnational repression. “It’s very hard to believe the Israeli Mossad or Turkish intelligence would kill someone with a knife,” said Russian-born Israeli media expert and social activist Alex Tenzer, pointing instead to broader patterns of threat facing dissidents.

Further details of the investigation remain sealed by Turkish authorities, and no arrests have yet been publicly confirmed in connection with the slaying. The Russian prosecution offices in Dagestan have already forwarded Abakarov’s case to the republic’s Supreme Court.

Putin aide accuses WaPo of ‘truth distortion’

The outlet wrongly attributed a comment mocking Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky’s US visit to Kirill Dmitriev

Russian presidential aide Kirill Dmitriev has accused the Washington Post of “truth distortion” over a quote wrongly attributed to him, and demanded the outlet apologize.

In an article on Saturday about Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky’s visit to the US, the outlet suggested that a recent phone call between Russian President Vladimir Putin and his US counterpart, Donald Trump, shifted Washington’s stance on the Ukraine conflict.

The Washington Post cited Dmitriev as saying: “Zelensky’s tour summed up in one sentence: Putin outmaneuvered everyone again.” It claimed that Dmitriev made the remark on Telegram.

In a post on X on Saturday, Dmitriev expressed outrage that the line – which he had reposted from another news channel – was attributed to him.

“Another eye-opening case of truth distortion from the fake @washingtonpost,” he wrote. “I reposted a post from a Telegram channel – yet your article attributed those quotes to me. That’s like blaming users for retweets.”

Dmitriev demanded that the outlet correct the attribution immediately, issue an apology, and launch an internal probe.

Later in the day, the outlet issued a correction, admitting that a previous version of its article had “incorrectly attributed” the quote to Dmitriev. The presidential aide thanked the WaPo on X for acknowledging the error, but asked the paper to issue a formal apology and publish both the apology and the correction “in the next print edition.”

“Operation Lightning Bug” Rescues More Than 30 Children from Human Trafficking in Texas.

Federal and local authorities rescued more than 30 missing children and uncovered multiple trafficking operations targeting vulnerable youth during a coordinated crackdown across Texas.

The effort, centered in San Antonio, led to arrests, felony warrants and several new investigations under a joint mission known as "Operation Lightning Bug."

Teams from the U.S. Marshals Service (USMS) out of San Antonio, Del Rio, Midland, and Pecos joined forces with San Antonio Police Department’s Missing Persons Unit, Special Victims Unit, Street Crimes Unit and covert operatives. Together, they combed through Texas and national crime databases to identify at-risk juveniles and coordinate recovery efforts.

The results included:

Three arrests for harboring runaways

Nine felony warrants executed

Six sex trafficking survivors rescued and connected with support services

Five new trafficking investigations opened

More than 30 missing juveniles located

More than 120 additional juveniles voluntarily returned home, clearing their names from missing persons databases

Each recovered child was interviewed by SAPD’s Special Victims Unit to determine whether they had been victimized. Survivors were referred to support services provided by agencies such as Health and Human Services to ensure long-term care and protection.

U.S. Marshal Susan Pamerleau, for the Western District of Texas, said in a statement that protecting children remains central to the Marshals Service’s mission.

"The safety of our children is the safety of our communities, and justice demands that we protect those who cannot protect themselves," Pamerleau said. "Through Operation Lightning Bug, we reaffirm our promise to safeguard the most vulnerable and strengthen the safety of our communities."

San Antonio Police Chief William McManus echoed those sentiments, praising the effort as an example of law enforcement unity.

"Every suspect arrested, juvenile returned home and survivor taken out of harm's way matters," McManus said. "This operation demonstrates what can be achieved when law enforcement agencies unite to protect children."

Nearly 7 In 10 American Adults Meet New Definition Of Obese: Study

Traditionally, obesity was defined as having an elevated body mass index (BMI), calculated by dividing a person’s weight by their height. Earlier this year, the Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology published a new definition of obesity, which incorporated anthropometrics, which include body measurements such as waist circumference, waist to height ratio, and waist to hip ratio, in addition to BMI, the study said.

An individual is now classified as obese under three conditions—if they have an elevated BMI plus at least one elevated anthropometric measure or a BMI greater than 40; or at least two elevated anthropometric measures irrespective of BMI; or excess body fat, according to the study.

Researchers analyzed the U.S.-based All of Us database to determine the prevalence of obesity under the new definition.

Of the 301,026 participants aged 18–80 years included in the analysis, 128,992 individuals (42.9 percent) were deemed to be obese under the traditional BMI-based criteria. But under the new definition, 206,361 individuals, or 68.6 percent, were considered obese. Obesity was found to be more prevalent with older age.

“We already thought we had an obesity epidemic, but this is astounding,” said co-first author Lindsay Fourman, according to an Oct. 15 report by The Harvard Gazette, the official news website for Harvard University.

“With potentially 70 percent of the adult population now considered to have excess fat, we need to better understand what treatment approaches to prioritize.”

According to the study, 78,047 participants (25.9 percent) who were not classified as obese under the traditional definition were reclassified as having obesity under the anthropometrics-only criteria. Among these individuals, 22.3 percent had a BMI traditionally classified as underweight or normal, with the remaining in the overweight category.

The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology guideline also introduced the concept of clinical and preclinical obesity. Clinical obesity refers to people who have obesity-associated organ dysfunction and/or physical limitation, while preclinical obesity pertains to individuals without such obesity-related issues.

Under the new definition, 36.1 percent of overall participants had clinical obesity, researchers found. Individuals with BMI plus anthropometric obesity were found to have a higher proportion of clinical obesity.
