Fame is a sickness that torments you, like a compulsion that refuses to shut off. Fame isn’t real; it’s a fixation. It’s a need for acceptance and empty love. It’s a weakness, a hole that you can’t stop filling.

Genres: fiction, LGBT+, contemporary, mystery, thriller

Blurb: Shade and Jadis are everything to each other. They share clothes, toothbrushes, and even matching stick-and-poke tattoos...so when Shade unexpectedly joins the cheerleading team, Jadis can hardly recognise who her best friend is becoming. Shade loves the idea of falling into a group of girls; she loves the discipline it takes to push her body to the limits alongside these athletes. Most of all, Shade finds herself drawn to The Three Chloes - the insufferable trio that rules the squad, including the enigmatic cheer captain, whose dark side is as compelling as it is alarming. Jadis won't give Shade up so easily, though, and the pull between her old best friend and her new teammates takes a toll on Shade as she tries to forge her own path. When one of the cheerleaders dies under mysterious circumstances, Shade is determined to get to the bottom of her death...because she knows Jadis, and if her friend is responsible, doesn't that mean she is too?

Google Shows What Appear to Be Mass Graves on Epstein Island

See all the latest videos on conservative politics, culture, and faith, plus articles patriots need to read at Discern.tv.

(Greg Reese)—A viral video making the rounds has utilized Google Earth’s history tool to show what appears to be mass graves on Epstein’s Island that were dug shortly after his arrest in 2006.

In September of 2002, in the center of the island, Google Earth shows that there was nothing but a bare mound of earth. In March of 2005, the Palm Beach Florida police began investigating Epstein after a mother reported that he sexually abused her 14-year-old daughter. In July of 2006, Epstein was arrested by the Palm Beach Police Department on state felony charges of procuring a minor for prostitution. Hours later he was released on a three-thousand dollar bond. A few months later in November of 2006, Google Earth shows that the previously bare mound has what appears to be mass graves freshly buried on top of it.

During this time, Palm Beach County state attorney Barry Krischer is accused of giving Epstein special treatment. And the FBI begin an investigation. In 2007, Federal prosecutors prepare an indictment against Epstein which is held up in the courts for a year. In June of 2008, Epstein pleads guilty to one count of soliciting prostitution and one count of soliciting prostitution from a minor. He is sentenced to 18 months in jail with a secret arrangement with the U.S. attorney’s office to not be prosecuted for federal crimes. Epstein serves most of his sentence in a work-release program that allows him to leave jail during the day.

In July of 2009, Epstein is released from jail. One month later in August, Google Earth shows that what appeared to be mass graves on the mound have been covered over. In 2013, construction begins on the mound grave site. By 2017, construction of what appears to be a tennis court is completed. Drone footage shows that the elevation in Google Earth is off, the newly built tennis court is on a flat level plane surrounded by a dirt berm.

By January of 2018, Google Earth shows that the tennis court has been razed, and the earth beneath appears to have been excavated.

In November of 2018, The Miami Herald begins publishing a series of articles about the Epstein case which inspires public interest. In July of 2019, Epstein is arrested on federal sex trafficking charges. One month later, the FBI raid the island. During this time, Google Earth shows cloud cover obscuring the view of the mound.

On August 10th of 2019, Epstein is reported to have committed suicide in his New York City federal jail cell.

The next available image is a month later in September of 2019 and shows that the area on the mound is being used as a parking lot for commercial vehicles. The area is cleared by 2020, and has remained so until today.

In a recent video, corporate media propagandist Megyn Kelly claims that we may be hearing from Jeffrey Epstein himself this year.

While most believe that Epstein was murdered, many believe that he is still alive. Images of his alleged corpse appear to be a different person. The shape of the nose and ears were different.

Herodotus, the Iliad, and the Greek Enlightenment

"Herodotus’ engagement with the poetic tradition begins in his opening sentence:

Ἡροδότου Ἁλικαρνησσέος ἱστορίης ἀπόδεξις ἥδε, ὡς µήτε τὰ γενόµενα ἐξ ἀνθρώπων τῷ χρόνῳ ἐξίτηλα γένηται, µήτε ἔργα µεγάλα τε καὶ θωµαστά, τὰ µὲν Ἕλλησι, τὰ δὲ βαρβάροισι ἀποδεχθέντα, ἀκλεᾶ γένηται, τά τε ἄλλα καὶ δι’ ἣν αἰτίην ἐπολέµησαν ἀλλήλοισι.18

Here are produced the results of the research carried out by Herodotus of Halicarnassus, intended to prevent deeds of human origin from fading away with the passage of time, and to preserve the fame of the important and remarkable achievements produced by both Greeks and non-Greeks, with a special focus on the reason why they went to war against one another.

Tilman Krischer has argued that in this sentence Herodotus both closely imitates and pointedly remodels the Homeric (especially the Iliadic) prooimion.19 Syntactic details aside, the most obvious reference to Homer and the subsequent poetic tradition is found in the second half of the purpose clause, where Herodotus announces his intention to prevent the great and marvelous achievements of Greeks and non-Greeks alike from becoming ἀκλεᾶ, from losing their fame or κλέος. Simon Goldhill has noted that ‘[i]n ancient Greek culture of all periods, the notion of kleos is linked in a fundamental way to the poet’s voice’,20 beginning with Homeric epic. Thus in claiming to preserve the kleos of remarkable deeds Herodotus audaciously appropriates for his ambitious prose work what had long been recognised as an essential function of poetic song.21 The military context of warfare between Greeks and a formidable Eastern foe underscores the special relevance of Homer’s Iliad as a model, which will be confirmed by numerous features in the narrative to follow. The appearance of the adjective ἀκλεής in prominent passages of the Iliad may also be relevant in this regard.22

At the same time, from the first word of his text Herodotus also underscores crucial differences that set his account apart from Homeric epic and establish its affinities with the intellectual milieu of the fifth century BC. With that first word Herodotus identifies himself by name as the origin and guarantor of his inquiry (historiê)—an authority fully human and independent of the Muses, the divine source and guarantors of the poet’s tale, who are conspicuously absent from an introduction that otherwise evokes the epic prooimion.23 A similar emphasis characterises Herodotus’ broad description of his subject matter as human deeds, τὰ γενόµενα ἐξ ἀνθρώπων, rather than the primeval deeds of gods and their heroic offspring (though both gods and heroes will have important roles to play in the Histories). So too at the end of the prologue Herodotus promises to traverse small and great cities of men (ἄστεα ἀνθρώπων, 1.5.3), and professes a knowledge of human prosperity (ἀνθρωπηίην… εὐδαιµονίην, 1.5.4) that informs his narrative as a whole.24

Beyond this emphatic anthropocentrism, certain key words in Herodotus’ opening sentence with contemporary connotations make the Histories not merely a product but indeed a fundamental document of what Goldhill calls the ‘Greek Enlightenment’—an intellectual revolution embracing a variety of fields (history, philosophy, natural and political science, rhetoric, and medicine), conducted in prose, and engaged in a ‘contest of authority’ with divinely inspired poetry, the traditionally privileged medium of expression in archaic Greece.25 As Thomas has demonstrated, in describing his own work as ἱστορίη, Herodotus associates it with other works of contemporary Ionian science understood in a broad sense to include the work of natural philosophers, sophists, and medical writers.26 More controversially, Thomas also discerns in the term ἀπόδεξις distinct overtones of rhetorical persuasion— implications of demonstration, display, and proof that encourage her to assimilate ἀπόδεξις with ἐπίδειξις, the term for the Sophistic display speech.27 Finally, at the end of the opening sentence, with the word αἰτίη, causality emerges as a focal point of Herodotus’ treatment of the Greco-Persian wars. Now there can be no denying that Homeric, and specifically Iliadic, precedent is relevant here, with regard to subject matter as well as syntax:28 Iliad I.8 poses the question, ‘Which of the gods, then, brought the two of them [sc. Agamemnon and Achilles] together to fight in strife?’ The Homeric question addresses the divine level of causation only, and has a straightforward answer in Apollo (although the human dimension of the quarrel will be explored in depth in the remainder of Iliad I). While Goldhill overstates the simplicity of the Homeric treatment of causation, I share his view that the search for aitiê,, the cause of things, assumes a new significance in the fifth century as ‘a foundational gesture of the new self-reflexive scientific thinking’.29 Herodotus’ use of the term to mark the climax of his opening sentence and the special focus of his narrative needs to be seen in this context."

From the article of Charles C. Chiasson "Herodotus' Prologue and the Greek Poetic Tradition", Histos 6 (2012), 114-143

The Biggest Names from Jeffrey Epstein’s Unsealed Court Documents

The names of acquaintances and associates of wealthy financier Jeffrey Epstein—including that of former U.S. presidents and British royalty—were released on Wednesday evening in a set of court documents that were part of a suit against Ghislaine Maxwell in 2015.

The documents, the first in more than 200 that are expected to be unsealed over the next few days, are part of the defamation lawsuit filed by victim Virginia Roberts Giuffre. Maxwell has previously called Giuffre a liar after she alleged that Epstein and Maxwell had abused her. (That case was eventually settled in 2017, but Maxwell was later sentenced to 20 years in prison for recruiting young girls for Epstein to sexually exploit in a criminal investigation of Epstein’s acts after his death.) 

Names of figures that were previously associated with Epstein, such as Prince Andrew and former presidents Donald Trump and Bill Clinton, were mentioned in the court documents, but there was little new information outside of what was already known to the public. Some documents had previously been released in other court cases, while Epstein’s high-profile contacts have been covered extensively in the media.

In December, U.S. District Judge Loretta Preska ordered the documents to be released, though she gave people until Jan. 1 to appeal the order in case they did not want their name to be revealed. The names of victims who were minors when they suffered abuse were not released, though some have previously spoken out about Epstein’s actions in media interviews.  

Here’s what to know. 

What the documents reveal 

For the most part, the documents say little about the actions taken by individuals outside of Epstein, though there is a 2016 deposition from Johanna Sjoberg, one of Epstein’s victims, that mentions politicians and figureheads in the U.S. and abroad. 

While celebrities like Bruce Willis, Cameron Diaz, Cate Blanchett, Kevin Spacey, Naomi Campbell, and Leonardo DiCaprio are also mentioned in the records, they have not been accused of helping Epstein in any capacity. Sjoberg was only asked if she had met the aforementioned people, which she denied. 

Connections to Epstein previously led high-level executives to resign from their positions, including Barclays chief executive Jes Staley. Jean-Luc Brunel, a French modeling agent suspected of scouting girls for Epstein, killed himself in a Paris jail in 2022 while awaiting trial for rape accusations.

The documents on Wednesday confirmed the scale of both Epstein’s alleged sex-trafficking ring and his powerful social network. Prince Andrew—the younger brother of King Charles III—was one of the names referenced in the documents, mentioned by a witness for touching her breast. 

Andrew was also previously accused of raping Giuffre when she was a teenager. After a lawsuit filed by Giuffre in 2021 and amid growing public pressure, Andrew was forced to relinquish his military titles and public duties—even as he repeatedly denied the allegations. The two settled the lawsuit in 2022 after Andrew paid Giuffre an undisclosed sum of money.

The case against Epstein 

Jeffrey Epstein was a convicted sex offender who would lure young girls under the impression that they would be giving him massages that would then “become increasingly sexual in nature,” according to the 2019 indictment against him. Jennifer Araoz, one of the victims, said that Epstein would invite her to his house and pay her hundreds of dollars after her visit. While they initially spoke about her life and goals, he later became abusive, Araoz said. 

Epstein had long avoided facing any consequences for his actions. He was first investigated for sexual misconduct in 2005 after a woman claimed that he had molested her teenage stepdaughter. Palm Beach police eventually charged Epstein with counts of unlawful sex with a minor in May 2006, but then State Attorney Barry Krischer sent the case to a grand jury, which indicted him with one count of soliciting prostitution. The charge was minor, leading to much criticism and causing the FBI to open a federal investigation against Epstein. But Epstein ended up serving a short 18-month sentence in 2008 for recruiting an underage girl for prostitution after he struck a plea deal with U.S. Attorney Alexander Acosta to avoid being charged with any federal crimes.  

Epstein later came back under scrutiny in 2018, after the Miami Herald looked at Acosta’s role in negotiating a short sentence for Epstein. In July 2019, Epstein was arrested after federal prosecutors looked at his behavior between 2002 and 2005.

The case against him revealed that the victims, some as young as 14, were paid to provide sexual services to him and his friends, and to recruit other young girls to his circle of victims. Epstein’s employees would also sexually abuse the young girls.

He was facing charges for sex trafficking and conspiracy in July 2019 when one month later, he died by suicide in a New York federal jail. The investigation continued after his passing, leading prosecutors to convict Maxwell for sex crimes in connection to her dealing with Epstein. 

Here are other names high-profile mentioned in the documents:

Bill Clinton

The former president was mentioned in the documents released on Wednesday, in Sjoberg’s testimony that Epstein had told her “Clinton likes them young, referring to girls.” She also said that she knew Epstein had “dealings” with Clinton but did not know they were friends until later media reports.

The former president’s ties with Epstein has long been the subject of media scrutiny—intensified in the wake of the financier’s indictment. The two had connected while Clinton was working on his nonprofit group the Clinton Foundation, and in 2002, they took a trip to Africa on Epstein’s private jet. 

In 2019, Clinton’s office said that the former president did not know about Epstein’s “terrible crimes,” and that he had not spoken to Epstein in “well over a decade.” A spokesperson for Clinton told CNN on Wednesday that it has “been nearly 20 years since President Clinton last had contact with Epstein.”

Records show that Giuffre’s attorneys wanted to get a deposition from Clinton. Giuffre, the plaintiff in the defamation lawsuit against Maxwell, did not accuse the former president of doing anything with her, but attorneys saw Clinton as a “key person who can provide information about his close relationship with Defendant and Mr. Epstein and disapprove Ms. Maxwell’s claims.”

Donald Trump

The former president—whose relationship with Epstein was also widely reported—was also mentioned in Sjoberg’s 2016 deposition. Sjoberg testified that she and Epstein once made an impromptu stop in Atlantic City due to poor flying weather. Asked if she had given Trump a massage, Sjoberg said no. Trump once called Epstein a “terrific guy,” but later said he had a falling out with him. “I don’t think I’ve spoken to him for 15 years. I was not a fan of his,” Trump said in 2019.

Michael Jackson

Sjoberg recalled meeting late musician Michael Jackson at Epstein’s house in Palm Beach, but said no when asked if she had massaged him.

Sarah Kellen

Kellen, Epstein’s former assistant, was named in testimonies of victims detailing their encounters with Epstein. She was said to have helped schedule his “massages,” which his victims said was a euphemism for sexual services. 

A judge had described Kellen as “a criminally responsible participant” in Epstein’s scheme. 

But Kellen was never charged and has remained out of the public eye. Kellen said through a spokesperson in 2020 that she herself had been sexually and psychologically abused by Epstein for years.

Jean-Luc Brunel

Jean-Luc Brunel, a French modeling agent suspected of scouting girls for Epstein, killed himself in a Paris jail in 2022 while awaiting trial for rape accusations.

Giuffre said in her deposition that she was sent by Maxwell to have sex with Brunel “at many places.” The documents also say that Brunel would bring girls as young as twelve "to the United States for sexual purposes and farm them out to his friends, especially Epstein."

Bill Richardson

Bill Richardson, the former governor of New Mexico who died in September, was also mentioned. Giuffre said in her deposition that Maxwell had instructed her to give Richardson a massage. In 2019, a spokesperson for Richardson denied he ever met Giuffre, according to Las Cruces Sun News.

Leslie Wexner

Leslie Wexner, the billionaire founder of L Brands (which owns Victoria's Secret and Bath & Body Works), was also mentioned in Maxwell’s deposition. When asked if she had ever provided Giuffre with “an outfit of a sexual nature to wear for Les Wexner,” Maxwell said “categorically no.”

Epstein was Wexner's money manager and a trustee of the Wexner Foundation During an L Brands investor conference in Sept. 2019, Wexner called Epstein's action "abhorrent." Wexner says he cut ties with Epstein in 2007.

Glenn Dubin

Hedge fund manager and billionaire Glenn Dubin was mentioned in the documents, with Giuffre testifying that “Ghislaine told me to go to Glenn Dubin and give him a massage, which means sex,” Giuffre said in her deposition..

Dubin has previously denied Giuffre’s allegations. 

Dubin’s wife, Eva Andersson-Dubin, was also referenced in the unsealed documents. Maxwell said in her deposition that she was friends with Andersson-Dubin.

Alan Dershowitz

Alan Dershowitz, Epstein’s lawyer, was also mentioned in the newly-released records. The documents say that Epstein forced a minor to have sex with the former Harvard law professor multiple times. The documents also say that Dershowitz “was an eye-witness to the sexual abuse of many other minors by Epstein and several of Epstein’s co-conspirators.

Dershowitz would later play a significant role in negotiating the NPA on Epstein’s behalf.” NPA stands for non-prosecution agreement, which allowed Epstein to avoid serving a severe sentence when he was first charged with soliciting a minor for prostitution.

“Of course I’m on that list, I was his lawyer. I flew on his plane,” said Dershowitz in a Youtube livestream after the list came out.

Marvin Minsky

Computer scientist and former MIT professor Marvin Minsky was also mentioned in the documents. Giuffre said she was asked to have sex with Minsky when he went to Epstein’s island in the U.S. Virgin Islands.
