I’m feeling deeply saddened, because Virginia Giuffre died tonight, reportedly of suicide. When I first met Virginia, she had acquired millions of dollars by litigating against ethical eunuchs Ghislaine Maxwell and Prince Andrew, and she was impassioned about starting a large anti-trafficking NGO.
She hadn’t wavered when she named a number of powerful men as her perpetrators. But in a strange twist, she eventually wavered on Alan Dershowitz, who had lied about his relationship with Epstein and is an all around nasty piece of work. I personally think that she was somehow leveraged to waver about her abuse at the hands of Dershowitz.
Virginia started to detach from me and other Epstein victims after she hired New York City publicist Dini von Mueffling. I was told by a second Epstein victim that Virginia referred to von Mueffling as her “handler.”
And then there’s the ethical eunuch lawyers David Boies and Stanley Pottinger who were integral to representing Virginia and over “20 Epstein victims.” Both Boies and Pottinger had ulterior motives, and both have a long history of major malfeasance. They are not superlative attorneys to litigate sexual abuse cases.
As I’ve demonstrated elsewhere, the Epstein Victims’ Compensation Program overseen by Jordana Feldman and Boies was a major coverup tool. The criteria that was used to reward victims was shrouded in mystery, and victims who received settlements from the Compensation Program had to sign NDAs that didn’t allow them to sue the other perpetrators who abused them. The Compensation Program also ensured that there wasn’t depositions and discovery that would implicate other perps.
Virginia had experienced child sexual abuse before she was even trafficked by Epstein as a minor. She was trafficked by vipers and her lawsuits were litigated by vipers.
Virginia Giuffre: Her kidney failure wasn’t from the car crash. Going to the hospital because of the car crash serendipitously alerted doctors to her kidney condition that was already terrible. They told her she had about 4 days to live IF she didn’t get treatment. She wanted to see her kids. No one came. Her kidneys were most likely dying from pills and the sexual abuse plus looming divorce plus being separated from her kids plus tabloids attacking her, was killing her. She self medicaided. She died last night April 25th in Neergabby.
I know people are making a picture of a post she made 6 years ago saying she’d never kill herself. That was before losing a husband of 22 years and 3 kids. She said two weeks ago that she was ready to go just wanted to see her babies one last time.
She posted the song somebody that I used to know. The she posted a black screen with a broken heart emoji.
New details have emerged about Virginia Giuffre‘s final moments after she was found unresponsive in a rural town in Western Australia – as those closest to her break cover at the family’s $1.9million mansion in Perth.
Ms Giuffre, who was trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein as a teenager, took her own life at her farmhouse in Neergabby on Friday night.
She was one of the most prominent accusers of convicted sex offenders Epstein and his former girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell, who she said kept her as a sex slave while flying her around the world and offering to their powerful associates ‘like a platter of fruit’.
She alleged they trafficked her to the Duke of York when she was 17 and was three times sexually assaulted by him – a claim which Prince Andrew has denied. The prince reached an out-of-court settlement with her in 2022.
A WA Police Force spokesperson told Daily Mail Australia preliminary findings indicated the death was ‘not suspicious’ and that paramedics had provided ’emergency first aid’ shortly after arriving at the home.
‘About 9.50pm Friday 25 April, emergency services received a report a woman had been located unresponsive at a residence in Neergabby,’ they said.
‘Police and St John WA attended and provided emergency first-aid. Sadly, the 41-year-old woman was declared deceased at the scene.
An interesting report from the U.K reflects British government officials who feel their legal position against ‘free speech’ in Great Britain is now part of the negotiations for President Trump’s tariffs. Essentially, the tariff discussion is encompassing more than just tariffs; if the nation does not support traditional freedoms and liberty, they could face stronger tariffs from the USA.
The messenger for this dynamic is not coincidentally Vice President JD Vance, who aligns closely with the tech platforms. The tech control agents are bitterly opposed to President Trump’s tariff position, and this nuance is quite possibly a way to give the tech platforms an ancillary benefit, vis-a-vis free speech support.
The tech industry is facing pressure from the EU and British government to censor and control information content on their platforms. By adding the importance of free speech to the leverage of tariff pressure, President Trump gives both Main Street companies and American Tech Titans something important to their business interests. This is both a smart and righteous approach.
This is an interesting take. If money and business wants it, it will happen. I am optimistic for free speech in the high-tech future. Notice how Jordan has crashed and burned with his anti-free speech pro-psychopath nonsense. How can you make ridiculous assertions when so many are able to answer? And by now, who is willing to not be able to answer? ABN
President Trump hosted Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre in the Oval Office and took questions from reporters on Thursday. The majority of the question from both the U.S. and Norwegian media encompass the current effort to negotiate a ceasefire in Ukraine.
One of the ceasefire ‘sticking points’ per se’, is that immediately following the breakout of the conflict the government of President Zelenskyy changed many of their constitutional rules to include the legal elimination of opposition parties in the country, removal of religion or faith-based social influence that runs counter to the Ukrainian Nazi mindset, the cessation of elections in Ukraine, and other “emergency measures” intended to assist the stability of Zelenskyy’s government as they entered a war footing.
The results of the legal changes and constitutional framework, which included non-recognition of any lost territory, is now being leveraged by Zelenskyy in negotiations for a ceasefire. President Zelenskyy is now saying the ceasefire terms proposed, which include accepting regional losses of geography to Russia, are not constitutionally possible and he has no power to agree to them.
In essence, Zelenskyy’s emergency government changed the constitutional power of the President, cemented a new constitutional status during war, and now says those previous changes make it impossible to accept proposed terms. This self-fulfilling creation, intentionally done with forethought for exactly this kind of current scenario, is the baseline for frustration toward the Ukraine position. President Trump notes this Ukraine position is frustrating, while thousands die weekly in the process. WATCH:
UPDATE: I do not consider Zelensky to be a Ukrainian or working for the benefit of Ukraine. Crimea is old Russian territory and vital to their access to the Black Sea. Much of Ukraine was always part of Russia, so a lot of the back and forth on territory lost or gained is, sadly, nonsense. Here is a map of languages spoken in the territory in question. It’s a very telling map and ridiculous to pretend the history of this region is not very Russian. Crimea was ‘given’ to Ukraine by Khrushchev at the stroke of a pen. Odessa became a Russian navy harbor in 1794 by decree of the Russian Empress, Catherine the Great. ABN

Bangor Publishing Company — the company that owns both the Bangor Daily News (BDN) and a lesser-known marketing agency — has received more than $2.4 million from state agencies since Gov. Janet Mills (D) took office in 2019, according to a review of contracts filed with Maine’s procurement office.
The payments to Bangor Publishing Company are not regularly disclosed by the company’s newspaper arm but are available publicly via the state’s vendor payment disclosures and its procurement record websites.
State financial records show that payments made to either Bangor Publishing Company, Pulse Marketing Agency, or Pulse Marketing LLC began almost immediately after Gov. Mills entered office and totaled more than $2.4 million as of fiscal year 2024.
The Maine Wire’s review of those contracts sheds new light on the murky and ethically questionable dynamics that arise when a newspaper company is simultaneously reporting on state government and profiting from lucrative contracts with state agencies.
…Over time, humans went from an anthropocentric to a geocentric to a heliocentric and eventually to a more universal view of the world, and each step constituted scientific progress.
Yet the crux is that there is at least one important phenomenon that resists such objectivization or “de-perspectivization,” and that is consciousness itself. If we accept that the core of consciousness is subjective experience, then consciousness is the ultimately subjective phenomenon. The core of my consciousness lies in the fact that I find myself in a world in which there are first-personal facts. I am conscious, I have certain experiences, I am in a particular perceptual state, and so on. First-personal facts are irreducibly subjective. They are “centred” around my perspective as an experiencing subject, and unlike objective facts, they are not invariant under shifts in perspective.
Crucially, each of us is inextricably tied to our own conscious perspective. I can reflect about your experiences and empathize with you; I can hypothetically try to place myself in your shoes; I can try to simulate in my mind what things must be like for you. But I cannot literally leave my own conscious perspective. It is an essential fact about me that I experience the world from my perspective and not from anyone else’s. To be conscious, one might say, is to have a subjective perspective around which some first-personal facts are centred.
…The lesson, I think, is that the attempt to “objectivize” consciousness – to represent it as an ordinary property that can be found in the objective world, like gravity and electromagnetism – fails to do justice to the irreducibly subjective nature of the phenomenon. Physicalist theories of consciousness are not alone in running into that problem; standard versions of dualism face the same problem too. We will better understand consciousness only if our scientific and philosophical theories fully come to terms with the existence of first-personal facts and recognize that reality may not be captured by a single objective book of the world, but only by a library of subjective ones.
This is a good essay. It provides an overview of consciousness studies to frame the worthy assertion that: ‘We will better understand consciousness only if our scientific and philosophical theories fully come to terms with the existence of first-personal facts’. This kind of thinking fits well with Buddhism, and especially well with the Buddhist emphasis on samadhi states, which are deeply subjective. A Buddhist might say samadhi is describable and sharable with someone else who knows it. Or a Buddhist might not say that. The full essay is 2,578 words long and worth reading because the point is well made and the overview fits it very well. It’s quality information briefly stated. ABN
This is how they undermine USA at the state level; and at local levels through similar strategies. This is also happening in Maine; Portland Maine has already fallen. Northern states with old-school, mild mannered rural populations are easy prey for this kind of takeover. In just a few years, these states will be under one-party rule with no way to vote their way out of it. ABN
Drivers along a 200-mile stretch of I-45 between Dallas and Houston should get ready for something new: The semi-truck in the next lane might not have anyone in the driver’s seat.
Why it matters: Autonomous trucking companies have been testing their fleets on Texas highways for several years, but always with backup safety drivers in the cab.
Now, one company, Aurora Innovation, says it plans to go completely driverless at the end of the month, a key milestone that promises to reshape the trucking industry.
Driving the news: After years of development, Pittsburgh-based Aurora is launching commercial driverless operations this month on a popular freight route between Dallas and Houston.
The first autonomous truck is expected to roll down I-45 in the coming days, although Aurora officials declined to share any details.
The company has said it will begin slowly, with one truck, and will gradually expand the fleet over time.
