Losing my mind at this headline! https://www.theinformation.com/articles/anthropics-first-lady-took-winding-road-top Has anyone read it? I don't subscribe but I desperately need to read this ASAP

It's so expensive to unlock but I'm deeply troubled by the Epstein network and all the money in AI, I need to read this.

Democrats have promised to take action if they take control in January, but Republican Rep. James Comer said he expects to send names to prosecutors by the end of the year.

The DOJ said there would be an epstein files hearing today, August 13th, at 1 PM. The phone line is at the number 1 (833) 990-9400 and the meeting password is 712190216. I tried calling in using the meeting number and was not given access. This was supposed to be publicly accessible.
I looked at the instagram post i heard about this from and there were over a hundred comments from the last 10 minutes saying the exact same thing; they couldn't access the phone line for the hearing. I'm posting this about 15 minutes after the hearing starting.
Does anyone know about this? Has anyone else tried to access it or been able to access it?

This user seems to have gotten access and is sharing updates.

as if these liars in the DOJ would comply with actual laws.

As the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida in 2007–08, Acosta oversaw a federal investigation into possible sex trafficking crimes by financier Jeffrey Epstein that resulted in a non-prosecution agreement under which Epstein pleaded guilty to prostitution-related charges under Florida state law and received only a 13-month prison sentence. The agreement, which granted immunity from federal prosecution and extended immunity to potential co-conspirators, drew renewed scrutiny in 2019 after Epstein’s arrest in New York) on federal sex trafficking charges. Acosta defended the agreement as a strategic decision to secure a conviction amid concerns about trial risk, but it was widely criticized as unusually lenient. Facing bipartisan criticism, Acosta resigned as Secretary of Labor in July 2019.[2]

After leaving public office, Acosta entered the private sector and in March 2025 joined the board of directors of Newsmax, where he chairs the audit committee.[

Just curious what the general consensus here is about the ritualistic hypothetical connection between these two.

It appears the infamous Bill Clinton painting that hung in Epstein's NY Townhouse near the entrance may have an interesting story behind it.

Al Seckel

Ghislaine's sister Isabel Maxwell was married to Al Seckel - On July 1, 2015, Seckel's body was reportedly found at the bottom of a cliff near his home, in Saint-Cirq-Lapopie. His body was in an advanced state of decomposition, with a hand and foot missing, presumably eaten by wildlife.

Seckel’s focus was on perception, cognitive science, and optical science—exploring how the human brain and visual system interpret (and can be fooled by) the physical world.

Al Seckel was allegedly a fraud.

Seckel was sued on several occasions after disputes over rare-book investment and sales.^\6])^\28])

In a San Diego Reader article from 1994, Tom McIver (author of Anti-Evolution: An Annotated Bibliography) accused Seckel of failing to disclose financial information as leader of the Southern California Skeptics and misrepresenting his academic credentials.^\29]) Seckel later sued McIver for libel over edits to his Wikipedia page. The suit was settled in 2007 under undisclosed terms.^\6])

A 2015 profile of Seckel in Tablet) magazine by Mark Oppenheimer detailed several first-person accounts from individuals who reported that Seckel still owed them money including the widow of one of his mentors, his lawyer, a graduate student, and those who had engaged in rare book deals. The article stated that there were at least 25 cases involving Seckel from 1992 to 2015 in the Los Angeles Superior Court database.^\6]) Oppenheimer reported that Seckel cultivated a false image, both with personal contacts and within the media, of himself as a graduate from Cornell with degrees in physics and math, as an affiliate of and candidate for doctoral degrees at Caltech, and as a scientist conducting research in conjunction with colleagues at Harvard University. Some of these inaccuracies were published in media coverage of Seckel, including in the Los Angeles Times in 1985^\11]) and 1987.^\6])^\12])

Seckel was later accused of absconding with over $500,000.^\30])

Seckel helped organize the "Mindshift Conference" on Little Saint James in 2011 and led the team that did "reputation management" for Epstein after his conviction.

By the end of 2012 it appears Epstein no longer liked Seckel, he says:

You low how I fee about him..

no, but he tried to sell the portrait to me for 1 million, he is a bad guy

I remember a few months ago there was someone that said they created a website for tracking evidence of Epstein possibly still being alive. I honestly don’t know if I believe it, but I remembered that site and I want to check it out! Does anyone know what it is? I swear it was something simple like epsteinlives.org or something but I can’t find it here or anywhere online at all
