Ghislaine Maxwell (63), the British socialite serving a 20-year sentence for child sex-trafficking, is prepared to testify before the US Congress about the so-called “Epstein Files,” including an alleged list of clients and associates of the late financier and sexual deviant Jeffrey Epstein. Epstein died in 2019 under mysterious circumstances while in federal custody awaiting trial. This sex trafficker is the only person convicted in this imbroglio, despite the fact that sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein allegedly controlled a web of underage girls for decades. Epstein’s victims alleged they were groomed by Ghislaine Maxwell and then passed around as sex toys to his oligarch friends and billionaire business associates who regularly visited his homes and private island in the US Virgin Islands, Little Saint James. Jeffrey Epstein’s jet was dubbed the “Lolita Express.” Link: https://www.bbc.com/news/business-60856925

Predictably, pushback against having Ghislaine Maxwell testify before Congress was hard from Republican lawmakers. President Donald Trumpf becomes irate when asked about Jeffrey Epstein and he desperately implored his key communicators to stop discussing the Epstein files in the media and the internet.

The Justice Department stated that no-one else is likely to be prosecuted in relation to the Epstein case, including Britain’s Prince Andrew who was accused by Virginia Giuffre, of allegedly sleeping with her when she was 17 and underage. Prince Andrew has consistently and vehemently denied all charges against him and settled a civil lawsuit with Ms Giuffre with no admission of wrongdoing. Ms Giuffre (41) committed suicide earlier this year.

How Did We Get Here?
In 2005, police in Palm Beach, Florida, began investigating Jeffrey Epstein after a parent reported that he had sexually abused her 14-year-old daughter. Federal officials identified 36 girls, some as young as 14 years old, whom Epstein had allegedly sexually abused. Epstein pleaded guilty and was convicted in 2008 by a Florida state court of procuring a child for prostitution and of soliciting a prostitute. He was convicted of only these two crimes as part of a controversial plea deal engineered by Republican AUSA Alex Acosta, and served almost 13 months in custody but with extensive work release.

Jeffrey Epstein’s Second Arrest
On 6 July 2019, Jeffrey Epstein was arrested by the FBI-NYPD Crimes Against Children Task Force at Teterboro Airport in New Jersey on sex trafficking charges. He was jailed at the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC) in NYC. A dozen FBI agents forced open the door to his Manhattan townhouse, the Herbert N. Straus House, with search warrants. The search of his townhouse turned up evidence of sex trafficking and also found “hundreds” and perhaps thousands” of sexually suggestive photographs of fully “or partially nude females”.
Some of the photos were confirmed as those of underage females. In a locked safe, compact discs were found with handwritten labels including the descriptions: “Young [Name] + [Name]”, “Misc nudes 1”, and “Girl pics nude”.
Epstein requested to be released on bond, offering to post $100 million with the condition that he would also submit to house arrest in his NYC mansion. US District Judge Richard M. Berman denied the request on 18 July, saying that Epstein posed a danger to the public and a serious flight risk to avoid prosecution.
On 29 Aug 2019, nineteen days after Epstein was found dead in his jail cell, the case against Epstein was closed by Judge Berman. Prosecutors stated they would continue an investigation for potential co-conspirators.

Public Demands to Release the FBI Epstein Files
Senator Blackburn requested something similar from the IRS regarding Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s business dealings:
When the Epstein files were not released, the Trumpf junta released two distractions from the CIA and the National Archives. You read about the USSR UFO encounter here on Coriolanus, a ‘nothing burger’ story and then a few weeks ago more JFK assassination files were released. When these distractions died out, in fits and starts and using dissembling language, US Attorney-General Pam Bondi affirmed that Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide and she released a video recording of Jeffrey Epstein’s jail cell in MCC in this unsigned letter from the Justice Department and FBI:
https://www.justice.gov/opa/media/1407001/dl?inline
In the letter, USAG Bondi assures the public that there is “no incriminating client list.”
Well of course there would not be a made-to-order incriminating client list in the files; such a list would have to be compiled by the FBI linking the names and images of suspects with victims, phone records, flight logs, witnesses, wiretaps, telephone pen registers, and financial records. Names would be triaged as suspects or innocent people caught up in this dragnet.
Moreover, technical analysts pointed out that that there are nearly three minutes missing from the surveillance video of Jeffrey Epstein’s cell.

Moreover, a mafioso who was incarcerated in that very same cell claimed that ‘there’s just no way Epstein was able to kill himself; it would be almost impossible.’
Note: Coriolanus has been to both Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC) in Manhattan and the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) in Brooklyn, albeit the client visiting rooms. Your author can attest that federal incarceration facilities are secure with surveillance cameras monitoring all the nooks and crannies of the prisons.
Charges were dropped against the two Bureau of Prisons (BOP) correctional officers, Tova Noel and Michael Thomas, who were on duty the night of 10 Aug 2019 when Jeffrey Epstein allegedly killed himself from his cell. Noel and Thomas were accused of falling asleep and surfing the internet that night rather than checking on Epstein every 30 minutes. Both admitted to having “willfully and knowingly” falsified records to make it seem they were monitoring Epstein properly.

Official NYC Medical Examiner Findings in Question
Dr. Michael Baden, who was in the room for Epstein’s autopsy and has been called as an expert witness in high-profile cases, said that injuries found on Epstein’s body, including fractures to his larynx and hyoid bone, were “extremely unusual in suicidal hangings” and more consistent with “homicidal strangulation.” Baden’s comments suggest Epstein’s family might contest the autopsy results in future legal proceedings. Dr. Baden also noted that the NYC Medical Examiner who conducted the autopsy on the dead sex offender’s body did not personally sign off on the ultimate finding that Epstein killed himself.

The Role of the Intelligence Agencies in this Cauldron of Vile
The FBI has an extensive dossier on Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, as well as Donald Trump following the several Russiagate investigations. Special Counsels Robert Mueller and Jack Smith and their investigative teams have a mountain of derogatory information about Donald Trump housed in their craniums, and Trump’s name certainly appears in the Jeffrey Epstein files. But what about the other intelligence agencies or law-enforcement bodies worldwide?
Allegations and rumors have circulated for decades that Ghislaine Maxwell’s father, the late disgraced oligarch Robert Maxwell, was a Mossad asset. He reportedly gathered derogatory information on people to be used as leverage against them, blackmailing them to assist the Mossad. Moreover, British intelligence officers suspected that Robert Maxwell was a Soviet agent, according to Foreign Office papers which have been released.
After the former Mirror newspapers chief and ex-Labor MP died mysteriously at sea on 5 Nov 1991, there was widespread speculation that he might have been a double or even a triple agent, but the FBI apparently found nothing in a decade of monitoring him, despite his known links with MI6, the KGB, and the Israeli intelligence service Mossad.
Robert Maxwell’s file, titled “Captain Ian Maxwell”, at the National Archives in Kew, London, has been found to contain reports submitted to the Information Research Department (IRD), a covert unit of the Foreign Office, describing him as “a thoroughly bad character and almost certainly financed by Russia.”
If true, this is how Ghislaine Maxwell learned her tradecraft with Jeffrey Epstein and would explain their fabulous fortunes. The two amassed a library of video tapes of hundreds of wealthy males in lurid sex acts with underaged girls.

FO suspected Maxwell was a Russian agent, papers reveal
There is no doubt that the FBI, the Kremlin, and the Mossad all have damaging information on Donald Trump. Ironically, for years Trump’s foes kept looking and digging for a Russia connection, which there is, but completely overlooked the possibility of an Israeli hold on Trump via the Mossad, thanks to Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein. That might explain a lot of Trump’s deferential behavior towards Vladimir Putin and Benjamin Netanyahu, including sanctioning the ICC because this august body indicted these two alleged war criminals.
Will this project finally take shape for Donald Trump?
Whither Ghislaine Maxwell?

Ex-socialite Ghislaine Maxwell, the only person convicted in this global muti-decade sex trafficking enterprise, is scheduled for release on 17 July 2037 at the age of 76. Perhaps Ms. Maxwell is seeking a pardon from President Trump in exchange for perjuring herself in front of Congress, thereby exonerating him.
USAG Pam Bondi is certainly protecting Donald Trump as well as hundreds of wealthy people– the so-called ‘Deep State’– by not cleanly releasing the Epstein files. This has angered the conspiracy-minded Republican base who wanted to see hated Bill Clinton and other liberals get exposed. For their own sake, the Deep State superrich would like to see the Ghislaine Maxwell problem ‘go away’ PDQ.
Ms. Maxwell most likely took the precaution of creating a ‘dead man’s switch,’ meaning her attorneys or few friends will release damaging information to the media or the FBI to avoid a suicide like Jeffrey Epstein or an untimely “accident.”
Endnote: President Trump will be meeting King Charles in the UK this coming September. Coriolanus wonders what the two immensely wealthy men won’t be discussing.
The Irony of the US Police: Nearly 50% of Murderers Get Away With it
In the US, people are getting away with murder. The clearance rate, the share of cases that result in an arrest or are otherwise solved, was 58% in 2023, the latest year for which FBI data is available. And that figure is inflated because it includes murders from previous years that police solved in 2023.
In other words, a murderer’s chance of getting caught within a year essentially comes down to a coin flip. For other crimes, clearance rates are even lower. Only 8% of car thefts result in an arrest.
Compared with its peers, America overall does an unusually poor job of solving killings. The murder clearance rates of other rich nations, including Australia, Britain and Germany, hover in the 70s, 80s and even 90s. Several issues, including a lack of resources, the sheer volume of cases and a distrust of the police, have converged to make the jobs of American detectives much more difficult. “It’s a serious problem,” said Philip Cook, a criminal justice researcher at Duke University. The lack of legal accountability emboldens criminals, leading to more crime and violence resulting in “a vicious cycle.”
Every eleven minutes someone in the US is murdered with a firearm. In 2022, the CDC reported that 48,000 people in the US were killed with a firearm, a wartime casualty figure without a foreign invader.
The Irony of the Police State
One blogger wrote the ICE annual budget is approximately $28 billion. Many countries have smaller budgets. ICE’s budget is now bigger than these American states:
Delaware: $6.07 billion
Idaho: $5.26 billion
Maine: $7.84 billion (annualized for a two-year budget cycle)
Montana: $4.68 billion (annualized for a two-year budget cycle)
New Hampshire: $5.20 billion
Rhode Island: $7.29 billion
South Dakota: $4.06 billion
Vermont: $5.23 billion
Wyoming: $4.45 billion (annualized for a two-year budget cycle)
American police are the direct descendants of the Slave Patrol, more akin to political control and law-enforcement rather than genuine sleuthing or crime solving. Add the tsunami of firearms flooding the country, economic inequalities, a suspicious population wary of cooperating with the police, and Americans suffer a high rate of unsolved homicides. There are just not enough seasoned investigators to catch the perpetrators.

US Health and Safety Update
The US is the only industrialized Western country in the world that does not offer universal healthcare coverage for its residents, unlike Germany, Israel, the UK, Canada, Australia, or France. The term ‘medical bankruptcy’ is unknown in those countries. And Donald Trump is making it harder for Americans to say healthy.
Trump Program Cuts Worsening Life for Americans
PBS reports:
“Americans are losing a vast array of people and programs dedicated to keeping them healthy. Gone are specialists who were confronting a measles outbreak in Ohio, workers who drove a van to schools in North Carolina to offer vaccinations and a program that provided free tests to sick people in Tennessee.
State and local health departments responsible for invisible but critical work such as inspecting restaurants, monitoring wastewater for new and harmful germs, responding to outbreaks before they get too big — and a host of other tasks to protect both individuals and communities — are being hollowed out.
The Trump junta is cutting health spending on an unprecedented scale, including pulling $11 billion of direct federal support because the pandemic is over and eliminating 20,000 jobs at national health agencies that in part assist and support local public health work. It’s proposing billions more be slashed.”
To pay for unneeded tax cuts for the oligarchs, the 2025 Republican budget guts the few social safety nets many Americans depend on, like Medicaid or SNAP. These draconian cuts will be felt by the masses after the 2026 midterm elections, giving the GOP a chance at the polls in Nov 2026.
In 2025, the Trumpf junta has gutted weather surveillance and medical research, and placed quacks, mountebanks, and charlatans in charge of America’s food safety and health organizations, like antivax advocate Robert F. Kennedy Jr to lead the Department of Health and Human Services and Dr. Mehmet Oz to administer the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Dr. Oz owns $33 million in heath insurance companies doing business with the agency he is running.
RFK Jr had his own children secretly vaccinated according to his first cousin, Caroline, the daughter of JFK.
Flesh-Eating Bacteria Kills Four in Florida
This twelve-year-old girl contracted necrotizing fasciitis while on vacation in 2019.
Four people are dead, and more than half a dozen are sick, after contracting a rare “flesh-eating bacteria” in Florida this year, state health officials confirmed.
The Vibrio vulnificus bacteria, found in saltwater, brackish water and inside raw or undercooked seafood, led to deaths in Bay, Broward, Hillsborough, and St. Johns counties, according to the Florida Department of Health (FDOH).
So far in 2025, 11 people contracted Vibrio vulnificus across Florida, with four dying and seven becoming ill, the FDOH reported. The FDOH did not specify the source of the new cases or say where the ill contracted the bacteria.
Vibrio vulnificus is a naturally occurring bacterium that lives in warm, brackish seawater. It’s created when fresh water from a river or lake meets seawater, and people contract Vibrio vulnificus by swallowing water with it or getting it in a wound.
Republican Governor Ron DeSantis prioritizes state funds on law-enforcement and election security, not the environment, like keeping Florida’s waters clean. The Trump budget cuts do not help Floridians either.

Pneumonic Plague Kills Arizona Victim
Pneumonic plague attacks the lungs, quickly killing victims,
A Northern Arizona patient died after becoming infected with a severe form of plague. The Arizona Department of Health Services has conducted rapid diagnostic testing and issued a “presumptive diagnosis of Yersinia pestis the bacteria that causes the plague” NAH said in a statement.
Plague is the same illness that killed millions of people in Europe during the Middle Ages. Today, it is rare but can crop up mostly in rural parts of the western US and certain parts of Africa and Asia, according to the US CDC. The Arizona resident died from pneumonic plague, a severe lung infection.
Yersinia pestis is a bacterium that causes a potentially life-threatening disease called plague. Plague is spread among wild rodents and other animals. Doctors can cure human patients of the disease with antibiotics, but it must be treated promptly. Humans usually contract plague from being bitten by an infected flea or by touching an infected animal.
Measles and COVID Spreading in America
As you read previously on Coriolanus, measles is spreading in Mexico because indigenous and religious communities near the Texas border believe in Robert F. Kennedy’s antivax rhetoric. The Trumpf junta announced that annual COVID-19 shots for healthy younger adults and children will no longer be routinely approved. As of 8 July 2025, the CDC estimates that COVID-19 infections are growing or likely growing in 25 states, declining or likely declining in 0 states, and not changing in 21 states.
