Prince Andrew "Steps Back" From Public Duties

Jeffrey Epstein’s empire was not only built on money and connections but on silence. Alongside Jean-Luc Brunel, he deliberately targeted vulnerable girls from Eastern Europe and South America, knowing cultural shame, disbelief, and poverty would keep them voiceless. Promised modeling careers, housekeeping jobs, or education, these young women instead found themselves trapped, their passports taken, their dignity stolen, and their futures erased. Epstein weaponized entire societies against them, understanding that in many cultures, speaking out meant exile, ridicule, or dishonor. Their silence was not incidental—it was the very architecture of his abuse.Even in death, Epstein’s greatest weapon endures. While some survivors bravely stepped forward, countless nameless victims remain erased from the story, still carrying the silence he engineered. Their absence is not a void—it is evidence of crimes too vast to ever be fully told. Justice has been partial, selective, sanitized, and until the world acknowledges the invisible victims, Epstein’s legacy of silence still shields him. The loudest scream in this story is the one we cannot hear, and if we forget it, then Epstein wins again.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In his remarks, Edwards emphasized that the government has been withholding key documents that could shed light on Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes. He explained that much of the evidence gathered—through lawsuits against Epstein, his estate, and involved financial institutions—is shielded behind protective orders, confidentiality agreements, and bank secrecy laws. Because of this, even though survivors and their attorneys have seen the documents, the broader public has not and “when you see the documents, you're going to be appalled.” He framed the push for a congressional discharge petition—aiming to force a vote to release the files—as essential to ensuring Americans can finally see what has been hiddenEdwards also called on lawmakers to make clear that no records should remain off limits—not from the DOJ, FBI, CIA, or financial regulators. “While we have seen the documents, you haven’t,” he said, underlining that public transparency is critical. His tone conveyed both urgency and frustration: the survivors have suffered twice—first by Epstein, then by being left in the dark by institutions meant to protect them. He stressed that the country deserves full access to these documents so that “evil” and “corruption,” which thrive in secrecy, can finally be exposed.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Epstein victims' lawyer says unreleased documents leave public 'appalled' | Fox NewsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

The Ghislaine Maxwell trial, held in late 2021 in federal court in New York, centered on her alleged role as Jeffrey Epstein’s co-conspirator in a sex trafficking ring that preyed on underage girls for over a decade. Prosecutors accused Maxwell of grooming minors, gaining their trust, and then facilitating or participating in their abuse at the hands of Epstein between 1994 and 2004. The government’s case included testimony from four women, some of whom described in painful detail how Maxwell recruited them as teenagers under the guise of mentorship or financial assistance, only to manipulate them into sexual encounters with Epstein. Flight logs, photographs, and household staff testimony were used to place Maxwell at various Epstein properties and show her long-standing involvement in his lifestyle and operations.Maxwell’s defense team attempted to cast her as a scapegoat, arguing that she was being punished for Epstein’s crimes following his 2019 death in federal custody. They challenged the credibility of the accusers, questioned their motives, and pointed to the time gaps between the alleged crimes and the trial. Ultimately, the jury found Maxwell guilty on five of six federal charges, including sex trafficking of a minor, and not guilty on one count of enticing a minor to travel for illegal sex acts. The conviction marked a rare moment of accountability in a case that had long been plagued by cover-ups, prosecutorial failures, and elite protection. It also opened the door to further scrutiny of Epstein’s network, although many key figures remain untouched.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Witness testimony and law enforcement records indicate that Jeffrey Epstein’s properties, including his Manhattan townhouse and Palm Beach estate, were equipped with hidden cameras and recording devices. Maria Farmer, one of the earliest accusers, stated that she was shown a secret room in Epstein’s New York mansion filled with screens displaying live video feeds from bedrooms and bathrooms throughout the residence. Similarly, when Palm Beach police searched his Florida home in 2006, they reported finding hidden cameras placed in strategic locations, supporting allegations that Epstein monitored and recorded the activities of guests and victims alike.These systems have led to speculation that Epstein may have used the recordings to gather leverage or potential blackmail material on powerful individuals who visited his properties. Reports suggest that certain areas of his New York mansion even featured lead-lined rooms designed to house secure electronics and surveillance equipment.to contact me:Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

The column draws a provocative parallel between Jeffrey Epstein, the financier who moved in circles of wealth and influence, and James “Whitey” Bulger, the violent Boston crime boss from a working-class Southie background. Both men, the author argues, were products of modest upbringings and possessed no formal higher education—yet wielded immense power through cunning, manipulation, and coercion. Epstein manipulated individuals and institutions with charm and financial acumen; Bulger executed his control through violence and fear—each pursuing self-serving agendas that devastated countless lives, particularly women and girls in Epstein’s case, and vulnerable community members in Bulger’s.Cullen further explores how both men were shielded by government institutions for strategic or self-serving reasons. Bulger survived as a powerful figure in part due to the FBI's complicity, using him as an informant while overlooking his criminal violence. Epstein likewise received a lenient plea deal, serving what the author likens to “after‑school detention” instead of facing full accountability. Both ultimately died while in federal custody—Bulger murdered in prison, Epstein under suspicious circumstances—raising unsettling questions about systemic failures or complicity. The piece concludes by urging readers to confront these troubling deaths, lest society become similarly numb to such abuses.to coontact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In March 2022, the Jeffrey Epstein estate officially put both Little St. James and Great St. James in the U.S. Virgin Islands on the market with a combined asking price of $125 million. Media outlets including the Wall Street Journal, Los Angeles Times, ABC News, Business Insider, and Boston.com all reported the listing. The islands—epicenters of Epstein’s alleged sex trafficking—were listed through Bespoke Real Estate and other high‑end agencies, with estate representatives confirming that proceeds were intended to help resolve outstanding lawsuits and cover estate-related expenses.To contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://www.wsj.com/articles/jeffrey-epsteins-private-islands-in-the-caribbean-to-list-for-125-million-11647998425Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
