đ´ The FBI Redacted Trump's Name from the Epstein Files
The FBI redactions. The missing footage. The billion-dollar wire transfers. The sudden leniency. And why I'm writing about it now.
Shaun King
â Why am I spending time on this?
Because I believe Donald Trump and hundreds of powerful men across politics, media, tech, finance, and international diplomacy have been compromised.
Not by scandal. Not by policy. But by blackmail.
And I believe the Israeli government and its intelligence arms were central to that operation.
And I believe Jeffrey Epstein was their point man.
And that this operation still matters â because the people compromised by it still hold power.
This is not a distraction. This is the lever.
đ The Redactions: Trumpâs Name Was Covered Up by the FBI
According to a bombshell investigation by Jason Leopold at Bloomberg, the FBI redacted Donald Trumpâs name from the Epstein files.
"From the governmentâs perspective, Trump was a private citizen when the Epstein investigation took place and therefore is entitled to privacy protections."
Let that sink in.
Trumpâs name appears dozens of times in the Epstein documents. And it was deliberately blacked out by the FBI before release.
Why?
Because of a legal exemption designed to protect the privacy of private citizens. Even if that private citizen is now the President of the United States.
Even if that private citizen made promises to release the full Epstein files.
Even if his own Attorney General Pam Bondi hosted a fake Epstein document "release party" with Trump allies and influencers.
Even if those documents turned out to be already public pages from Epsteinâs old black book.
đ¤ A Total Gaslight: Trump's Broken Promise to Declassify
Trump and his allies promised the world they would release the Epstein files. Instead, they:
Redacted his own name
Declared that the FBI and DOJ would not release more
Claimed a "client list" doesnât exist
Silenced internal whistleblowers
Pam Bondi said on Fox News in 2024:
"If people in that report are still fighting to keep their names private, they have no legal basis to do so, unless theyâre a child, a victim, or a cooperating defendant."
And yet Trumpâs name was kept private.
And so was hers.

đ $1.1 Billion: Senator Ron Wyden Just Blew the Lid Off the Finances
In a new public statement, Senator Ron Wyden said his office uncovered:
â4,725 wire transfers and almost $1.1 billion flowing through just one of Epsteinâs banks. Hundreds of millions more through others.â
He said Epstein used Russian banks to move massive amounts of money.
And that Trumpâs DOJ had this information the entire time.
And refused to investigate.
Read that again.
This isnât about teenage girls at this point. This is about intelligence operations, foreign finance, and criminal protection at the highest level.
đ Ghislaine Maxwell Just Got a Massive Reward
Last week, Ghislaine Maxwell was quietly moved to a cushy prison camp in Texas â the same place Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes is housed.
Her new facility includes:
No barbed wire
TV lounges and recreation
Weekend visits
Access to email and possibly cell phones
She is a convicted sex trafficker of children.
Why was she moved?
Because, according to her own lawyer, she just sat for hours with DOJ officials answering questions about Epstein.
She has now asked for a pardon from Trump, and is offering to name names only if given full immunity.
She is the only person in jail for Epsteinâs crimes.
And she just got a reward.
đ˝ The Jail Video: CBS Confirms Massive Discrepancies
A forensic investigation by CBS News has confirmed that:
The footage of Epsteinâs jail cell does not show the door to his cell
The footage was screen recorded, not raw exported
The FBI's claim that nobody entered or exited the tier cannot be confirmed by the video
Multiple guards gave false or contradictory statements
A mysterious orange figure ascends the stairs and is never identified
One minute of video is missing
A third individual enters the tier that was never mentioned in the DOJ report
The footage was altered.
The guards lied.
The video contradicts the official record.
And yet the FBI says the case is closed.
âĄď¸ What This Is Really About
This is not about Epstein alone.
This is about a global operation to compromise people with power.
It is about blackmail. It is about intelligence. It is about influence over U.S. policy, U.S. media, U.S. aid, and U.S. silence.
And until the names, the tapes, and the full files come out, we do not have the truth.
They wanted you to forget. We wonât let them.

Some warned that Dems breaking from the New Deal & embracing corporate neoliberalism â deindustrialization, financial dereg, gutting the safety net, destroying unions & legalizing corruption â would convince the working class both parties are bad & that wouldnât work out well for Dems.
The folks warning about this were insulted, mocked and ostracized â and their warnings were ignored.
Now here we are.

đ¨ đ¨ đ¨ RED ALERT: Netanyahu orders FULL TAKEOVER and ethnic cleansing of Gaza â no matter the cost.
Even IDF officials were told to resign if they object. This is the public declaration of a war crime.
This Time the Ethnic Cleansing Plan Was Announced on National TV
In a chilling report aired by Channel 12 News in Israel, the next phase of Israelâs genocidal campaign in Gaza has been laid bare â by its own chief political analyst.
Amit Segal, Channel 12âs top correspondent, calmly described Israelâs plan to forcibly remove nearly 1 million Palestinians from Gaza City in preparation for a military takeover. This was not leaked by activists or discovered in secret files. It was broadcast as a policy update.
Let me walk you through what was just revealed â and why every word matters.
đŹď¸ The Phased Takeover of Gaza City
According to Segal, Israel plans to issue an evacuation notice to the residents, allowing time for the construction of camps and field hospitals in central Gaza. Combat will be delayed during this phase to "prepare infrastructure" and to minimize the risk of international backlash.
In his words:
"Why the advance evacuation notice? To prepare infrastructure in central Gaza: hospitals, camps for evacuees... and also in light of Israel's international standing."
Once the infrastructure is in place, the next phase is the military occupation of Gaza City. Segal described it as the fall of the Strip's symbolic capital.
"I donât think this will take a few months, but definitely a good few weeks."
đť Displacement Camps Are Not Aid. They Are the Operation.
Segal claims Israel will delay combat to build camps for civilians â but these are not neutral humanitarian spaces. They are displacement zones, constructed to facilitate the largest forced removal of Palestinians since 1948.
The language is soft. The policy is violent.
Under Article 49 of the Fourth Geneva Convention, "The Occupying Power shall not deport or transfer parts of its own civilian population into the territory it occupies." And more urgently: "Individual or mass forcible transfers... of protected persons from occupied territory are prohibited, regardless of their motive."
Segalâs announcement admits a planned mass transfer of protected persons, in coordination with a military seizure. Thatâs not a humanitarian pause. Thatâs textbook ethnic cleansing.
đ° Trump Is the Financial Architect of the Camps
Segal also confirmed that Donald Trump will give a speech in coordination with Israelâs actions, announcing an expansion of aid distribution centers from 4 to 16 per day. Alongside this expansion, the U.S. and foreign governments will pledge $1 billion in funding to build the infrastructure for mass relocation.
"$1 billion in funding, partly American, partly from other countries... This will essentially allow every Gazan to come and receive aid... while at the same time the symbol of the Gaza Strip â Gaza City â is falling."
This isnât humanitarianism. This is imperial logistics.
The U.S. is not feeding Gaza. It is funding its soft removal.
đłď¸ The Hostages Are Not the Focus
Segal tries to preempt public concern:
"Some of the hostages are being held in Gaza City â but most are believed to not be there. Hamas has previously moved hostages elsewhere."
This confirms what weâve long suspected: Gaza City is being targeted not to rescue hostages, but to symbolically break Palestinian resistance. Even as Israelâs own war cabinet recently admitted that hostage negotiations were viable, they are being discarded for military optics.
And that too violates international law.
The Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court defines it a war crime to "intentionally direct attacks against the civilian population as such or against individual civilians not taking direct part in hostilities."
You cannot bomb a city of 900,000 civilians to try and win a war. Not legally. Not morally.
âĄď¸ This Is the Next Phase of the Genocide
What Segal describes is not a plan for peace. It is a media-normalized military campaign to finish what starvation began.
Israel has bombed Gaza, blockaded its food, burned its aid, and starved its children. Now, with U.S. funding and Trumpâs blessing, it will try to physically remove its heart: Gaza City.
This is not rescue. This is not stabilization. This is not war.
It is occupation by design. It is genocide with logistics. And it is happening in front of us.
đ Please share this post widely. The only thing standing between Gaza and total erasure is global outcry.

Netanyahuâs Cyber Chief ARRESTED in Vegas Child Predator Sting â Then Sent Home Free. It's an Abomination. He's an IDF vet and Head of AI for the Israeli Government.
BALTIMOREâFaced with yet another looming GOP threat to trash the Affordable Care Act, the cities of Chicago, Baltimore, and Columbus, Ohio, marched into U.S. District Court in Baltimore on Aug. 14 to save the ACAâand health care for millions of people.
Their lawsuit says right-wing Republicans, led by President Donald Trump and his Health and Human Services Secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., are trying to kill the ACA, also known as Obamacare, by a sneak attack through the regulatory back door. Theyâre rewriting ACAâs rules to make it, more expensive, less comprehensive, and tougher to get.
The cities and their pro bono lawyers of Democracy Forward caught on. They seek an injunction to halt the Trump-Kennedy scheme in its tracks. If they fail, the ACA-trashing rules take effect Aug. 25.

My lawyers were told today that my tweets about the Israeli pedophile that was arrested for sex crimes in Vegas were all removed after a GOVERNMENT DEMAND.
They were not told which government.
Has this ever been done before?
I got zero notice, explanation, nothing.

I had to sit on this for a couple of days because of how pissed off I was but here's my rant. That is the fear that I get to live with for no other reason than BREATHING WHILE BROWN IN THE USA.
I am and always will be a Costarrican who happens to be a US citizen. I love my country and will always be a respectful guest in this one. However I will not stand for racism whether it is obvious or the person just doesn't realize it.
Last Friday morning I went to the Multnomah County Court House for work. When I got there about 8:30 AM I saw a sign on the door that said that it was court furlough day and that it was closed. So while standing on the sidewalk I called my agency to see what was going on since it was strange that I'd been given a grand jury appointment to interpret for on a day the court was closed. While the phone was ringing I heard a firm, almost angry, voice from behind me say:
"Put the phone down!"
I ignored it since it couldn't possibly have been directed at me since I wasn't doing anything. Almost immediately a second voice in an even firmer voice said
"WE SAID PUT THE PHONE DOWN. NOW!!!"
At this point I turned around and saw to armed men standing very close to me. Then the first guy said again:
"Put. The. Phone. Down...Now!"
So with confused look on my face I started to put my phone in my pocket and immediately one of them said:
"Keep your hands where I can see them!" As he moved his hand closer to his gun.
I thought for a moment I was being pranked so I said:
"Well guys make up your minds. You want my phone down or my hands up?"
To which one of them replied:
"Don't get ******* cute with us."
Next that same guy asked for my name and I gave it to him. He asked where I lived and provided my address.
I at this point asked who they were and what this was about. The reply was:
"You don't ******* ask questions. We ask the questions. You answer them. Got it?!"
While he was saying this the other guy was on his radio.
The next question was:
"Where are you from?"
I answered "I live in Portland"
As this was happening, two more of these guys showed up so now there were 4 armed men surrounding me.
I have dealt with racist comments many times since I move to PDX and can very quickly notice when somebody is doing it. That question "where are you from" only happens in 2 forms: One of genuine interest to learn something about someone, and the other way. To get me to say that I am from another country.
Next one of the recently arrived guys asked again
"Where are you from?"
Again I said Portland.
"No no no! I asked where are you from?"
"Where???"
"Portland" I said again.
"This is my address" and provided it again.
This all only took a matter of minutes but they kept getting closer and closer to me.
"Let's see some ID."
I never carry my wallet with me. I think wallets are bulky and by not keeping cash or my card on me I save millions by not buying teas and cookies all day so I keep it in my car. Usually my work badge is good enough for anything I need to do at work. We were literally 5 feet from my car and I explained as much and that of we could just go to my car I could show them.
"It's in my car. My car is right here."
To which they reply...
"So you're saying you don't have ID."
"It's in my car, which is right there."
Another call on the radio and within seconds a pick up pulls up and 2 more of these guys get out. Now there are 6 armed men surrounding me. Every second that passes they keep creeping closer and closer.
"I am going to ask you one more time, where are you from?"
"I live in Portland."
It is my belief that in that moment they were going to take me into custody as an illegal immigrant. But by sheer luck a deputy district attorney who I had interpreted for earlier in the week for a different grand jury, happened to be coming into work and as he walked by and saw me and asked if I was ok.
One of these men immediately turned to him and said:
"This is official business move along right now... keep walking."
The DDA replied "hang on. I'm a DDA. What's going on here?"
As soon as he said "DDA" I saw an immediate change in all six of their faces. They looked at each other so as to ask with their eyes, what they were going to do. At this point one of them said let's see your ID and two of them walked me to my car. I showed it to them. One of them took a picture of it with his phone. He gave it back and just like that they left.
If there could be any doubt that racism alive and well in this country currently fueled by the president this is yet another example of it.
I want to leave this picture here because for those of us that are not white there is a very real possibility that when we leave home we may very well not come back and this way there's a nice picture for the record.
For doing nothing more than going to work while being a US citizen but brown I was very close to being taken and the worst part is that I have no idea by who or where I would have been taken. That is the fear that I get to live with for no other reason than BREATHING WHILE BROWN IN THE USA.

So, wait a minute, we have 3 warships on the coast of Venezuela. We're about to invade Venezuela and the Trump administration claims it's all about drugs. This is a regime change operation about to happen. All because Maduro doesn't bow to israel. Everything is done for israel.
