When a cult is organize crime
In this dispatch, Lady Whistleblown examines disturbing testimony now emerging from within the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church (PBCC) — testimony that some observers have begun referring to as “The PBCC Epstein Files.” A survivor describes years of abuse beginning in childhood within the Brethren community, allegedly involving multiple men in positions of religious authority. The survivor later moved within the orbit of senior PBCC leadership in Sydney, including Bruce Hales, the long-time global leader of the church, and Gareth Hales. The allegations described are now part of an active police investigation into this abuse. As these testimonies begin to surface, questions are growing about the culture of silence, power, and protection within the PBCC — and whether distractions and public controversies are being used to divert attention from far more serious issues. This dispatch explores the allegations, the historical context inside the Brethren movement, and why a growing number of voices believe the full story is only just beginning to emerge.
John and Charles trace how people caught in high-control religion can absorb failed prophecies, financial collapse, and scandal, yet remain loyal by reframing everything as spiritual testing. The conversation follows Gordon Lindsay’s early environment as Zion’s promises implode, then shows how allegiance can transfer from one “Elijah” claimant to the next without space to recalibrate.
John and a guest also connect the “Malachi 4 Elijah” claim to a British Israelism framework shared across multiple early revival leaders, arguing the ideology—and not merely the personalities—drives the continuity. Along the way, the discussion highlights how deprogramming can take years, and why movements often survive by redirecting devotion, sanitizing reputations, and repeating the same cycle in a new setting.

On January 30, the Department of Justice released its latest tranche of 3.5 million documents relating to Jeffrey Epstein. Years of emails, texts, and images were suddenly in the public domain.
Epstein, a serial rapist, masterminded a global human trafficking and sexual abuse network, and could count princes, professors, and politicians among his closest friends and accomplices.
MintPress News has been at the forefront of covering the Epstein saga, revealing his extremely close links to American and Israeli intelligence groups – a discovery that perhaps sheds light on why it took so long for the world’s most notorious pedophile to face accountability for his crimes.
Many of the DOJ files have been heavily redacted in order to protect Epstein’s powerful clients. Still, they have exposed a massive elite nexus revolving around the New York billionaire, implicating presidents, diplomats, and plutocrats in his crimes, and imply that Epstein was significantly more powerful than first thought, shaping modern politics in ways never previously understood.
With shocking new details emerging on a near-hourly basis, here are ten Epstein-related stories that have flown relatively under the radar. (more...)
Ten Epstein Revelations You Might Have Missed
Rep. Lauren Underwood says Trump’s name appears throughout the Epstein files and accuses the Justice Department of denying victims justice.
US Representative Lauren Underwood, a Democrat from Illinois, said she reviewed the Epstein files and saw President Donald Trump’s name appear repeatedly throughout the documents.
Underwood, who focuses on healthcare, infrastructure, women’s rights, and education policy, published a video statement on the platform X detailing her initial review.
In her post, Underwood said:
“I just reviewed the Epstein files. A few things became clear:
She indicated that her three-hour review was insufficient and that she intends to examine the documents further. (more...)
Congresswoman flags Trump's name 'all over' Epstein files review

Today, really, the world is in crisis, in chaos. There is a lot of deeply intertwined turmoil and many crises: the war against Iran, launched by the United States and Israel; the Gaza conflict; the Greenland crisis; the Epstein files; extensive social divisions across many societies, and more...
Let a global cultural renaissance light the way forward for the one humanity, for our humanity.
Is there anything that can thwart the drive for a global fascist order coming from the corrupt degenerates of the Epstein Class? That was the topic of the EIR Emergency conference on March 2. If you reject the idea that all humans are bestial, but that many will fight for peace and justice if they can find a way, watch the dialogue from yesterday's conference, and join with The LaRouche Orgaization to build a New Paradigm.

This week we welcome documentary filmmaker, Amy Herdy, of Cove Tower, based out of Boulder, Colorado. Amy is looking into making a documentary on the NS mass shootings after having read Paul's books on the subject. She discusses the industry, why she thinks no documentaries have been made to date about the shootings, and how she is different from other filmmakers.
Also this week, Paul and Adam discuss the Open AI meeting with federal ministers in the wake of the Tumbler Ridge school shootings. Should there be an inquiry into the school shootings.
Former NS Justice Minister Becky Druhan's seems to harbour ambitions to take on her former leader, Premier Tim Houston. She hinted at those ambitions in an interview she gave with CBC Information Morning, in the midst of Premier Houston's worst week as Premier.
Many self-described “Jewish” institutions should be considered crime scenes. They are gathering places for those who ought to be prosecuted under the War Crimes Act and are often places where young Canadians are illegally “induced” into joining a foreign military while flouting genocide statutes and charity law.
A La Presse investigation published Thursday into two private Montreal Jewish schools supporting the Israeli military has sparked an important political and media storm in Quebec. Since October 2023 heavily subsidized private schools Herzliah and Bialik have had at least 14 different visits from active or former Israeli soldiers.
But these schools are but two of a hundred or so self-described Jewish institutions promoting the politics of Zionism that have platformed individuals who should be investigated under Canada’s War Crimes Act and Crimes Against Humanity. That statute begins, “Every person who, either before or after the coming into force of this section, commits outside Canada (a) genocide, (b) a crime against humanity, or (c) a war crime, is guilty of an indictable offence and may be prosecuted for that offence in accordance with section 8.”
Alongside self-described Jewish schools, synagogues, camps and community centres regularly host Israeli soldiers who’ve participated in the holocaust in Gaza. Last month former IOF combat soldier Guy Hochman, a comedian who jokes about committing war crimes in Gaza, performed at the Prosserman Jewish Community Centre in Toronto. (more...)
Promoting genocide is a crime no matter where it happens
John and Charles examine the 1944 Great Sedition Trial and explore its possible connections to figures surrounding William Branham’s early ministry. They discuss Roy Davis, extremist political networks, the mysterious collapse of the trial, and how wartime investigations intersected with Pentecostal and fundamentalist movements in the United States.
The conversation traces historical timelines from the 1930s through the early 1950s, analyzing how political ideology, religious revivalism, and postwar reinvention may have overlapped. Drawing from archival research, they consider how these events shaped the trajectory of Branham’s public ministry and the broader religious landscape.
Thorbjorn Jagland is reportedly in hospital in serious condition after being charged with gross corruption over ties to the convicted sex offender
Former Norwegian Prime Minister Thorbjorn Jagland was hospitalized last week after a suicide attempt, days after being charged with gross corruption over his ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, Norwegian outlet iNyheter has claimed.
Citing a “rock-solid source,” iNyheter wrote that Jagland’s condition is serious. The facility treating the 75-year-old statesman has not been disclosed.
Jagland is one of Norway's most prominent political figures, having served as prime minister, parliament leader, foreign minister, and Secretary General of the Council of Europe. He also chaired the Norwegian Nobel Committee from 2009 to 2015.
Earlier this month, Jagland was charged with gross corruption following the release of the latest batch of Epstein files by the US Justice Department. Norway's anti-corruption agency carried out extensive searches of Jagland's properties in Oslo and Risor.
According to the agency’s letter to the Council of Europe seeking to lift his immunity, Jagland and his immediate family used Epstein's private apartments in Paris and New York multiple times between 2011 and 2018, and stayed at his villa in Palm Beach, Florida. Jagland also allegedly asked Epstein for assistance with a bank loan. (more...)
Epstein-linked former Norwegian PM hospitalized after suicide attempt – media
The glaring absences in the latest dump of Epstein files from the US Department of Justice reveal more about the federal investigation and its cover-up than the 3 million-plus pages released.
Search the files for “Epstein and Mossad.” No results.
Search for “Epstein and Israel.” No results.
Search for “Ghislaine Maxwell and Mossad.” No results
Search for “Ghislaine Maxwell and Israel.” No results.
Ditto when searching the terms “Mossad” or “Israel” with the names of Ghislaine’s father, media mogul and reputed Mossad asset Robert Maxwell; or Epstein’s close associate, former Israeli prime minister and military intelligence official Ehud Barak; or Epstein’s chief financial backer, retail magnate Les Wexner of Victoria Secret’s fame, who has donated millions to Israeli-related causes.
What’s mostly in the data dump are millions of frustrating blackouts, boring dross, needless repetition and the occasional titillating distraction. Little, if anything, of investigative substance can be searched and found. Under the direction of US Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, Trump’s former criminal defense attorney and now his second-in-command at the justice department, the FBI’s internal memos and analyses were withheld in defiance of congressional orders.

Latest Epstein document dump is one more cover-up
The abandonment of international allies, treaties and norms, the political scientist Stephen Walt argues, will slowly ostracize the United States and give rise to a multipolar world order which will leave the country behind.
From the Epstein files, you can see how he saw himself as spiritual elite, an awakened elect, above standard morality. That “elect” status gave him a moral blank check that licensed the predation. His transhumanist POV was also a part of this frame.
Comedian Duncan Trussell took this observation even further, comparing the Epstein revelations to a hypothetical disclosure of alien life in conversation with Jeremy Corbell:
With the Epstein files you get a form of catastrophic disclosure, not disclosure of UAPs or extraterrestrial life, disclosure of the fact that the super elite—they don’t follow the same laws we do. They don’t have the same view on ethics, morality. It’s almost a different species, in fact. And watching the sort of impact that that’s having on the psyche of people who probably haven’t gone as far out on thin ice as you and I have is really interesting, because you’re looking at people getting red-pilled in the most extreme way, where you look at these emails, it’s not just emails Epstein wrote. It’s emails to Epstein from people who were sucked in by that power, into that orbit. And even though Epstein wasn’t like, “I’m going to puppeteer this person,” just something about hanging out with that, seeing the hedonism, seeing what it’s like to be in a room with all these very powerful people—it’s seductive. Just standing next to it makes you want to become part of it. And that doctor, what’s his name? Attia.
The spellbound Attia had written to Epstein: “The life you lead is so outrageous, and yet I can’t tell a soul…” This is an example of the first criterion of ponerogenesis: the inability to recognize psychopathology for what it is. Without such knowledge and practical abilities, many end up romanticizing evil. (more...)
