Japan Confirms Over 600,000 Citizens Killed by COVID ‘Vaccines’

Chilling news is emerging from Japan as the nation’s leading experts have uncovered explosive evidence linking skyrocketing excess deaths to Covid mRNA “vaccines.”

A grassroots coalition, United Citizens for Stopping mRNA Vaccines, has forced the release of official vaccination records for 21 million Japanese citizens through a series of Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests.

The records include vaccination dates, batch numbers, and post-vaccine death reports.

The results are devastating.

Professor Murakami of Tokyo Science University, a respected scientist, analyzed the data and uncovered a consistent, alarming pattern:

   • A surge in deaths occurred 90–120 days after injection.

   • Those who received multiple doses saw earlier and steeper death spikes, suggesting cumulative toxicity.

   • Murakami estimates that 600,000–610,000 Japanese citizens have been killed by the “vaccines.”

This figure is eerily consistent with Japan’s excess death statistics.

Because these deaths typically happen months after the jab, doctors rarely connect them to the shots, allowing health officials to hide the carnage in plain sight.

The United Citizens coalition revealed the shocking findings during a press conference, blasting government health bureaucrats for ignoring the mounting evidence.

By dragging out timelines and obscuring cause-of-death data, the medical establishment has been able to wave away vaccine-linked fatalities while excess mortality soars to unprecedented levels.

Murakami’s findings confirm what independent researchers have long warned: the danger isn’t just immediate adverse events, it’s the delayed, cumulative damage silently eroding public health months after the shots.

The findings come as the pharmaceutical industry pushes forward with its latest self-replicating mRNA shot, or “replicon vaccine.”

Meanwhile, Japan’s public has clearly had enough.

Despite the rollout of 4.2 million doses last October, fewer than 10,000 were administered.

That’s a microscopic 0.24% uptake rate, signaling a total collapse in public trust.

In fact, over 100,000 Japanese citizens have signed petitions demanding an immediate halt to all mRNA “vaccine” programs.

According to reports, the replicon injection by Meiji Seika Pharma has shown even higher rates of adverse reactions and deaths than the original Pfizer and Moderna products.

The backlash has gotten so intense that the pharmaceutical giant has launched a lawsuit against Congressman Kazuhiro Haraguchi and others who dared to speak out.

Haraguchi, a vocal critic of the program, revealed he developed lymphoma following vaccination, with spike proteins found in his lymphatic tissue.

Meanwhile, Japan’s health authorities have failed to address the 90–120-day death spike now evident in one of the most extensive datasets ever released.

The silence is deafening, and the implications are global.

This 21-million-record release isn’t some Internet rumor.

It’s a forensic blueprint exposing what may be the most dangerous mass medical experiment in history.

The citizen-led group, boasting 70,000 supporters and 3,000 active volunteers, is now pushing for global collaboration to stop the next wave of mRNA experimentation, including an mRNA-based flu shot slated for fall 2025.

The group’s vaccine database is being translated into English and will soon be open to researchers worldwide.

In a time when governments refuse to investigate or even acknowledge what’s happening, it’s up to citizen scientists and brave whistleblowers to expose the truth.

Japan’s warning to the world is clear: the spike in post-vaccine deaths is real, the rollout of next-gen experimental vaccines must stop, and those responsible for suppressing the truth must be held accountable.

The release of these records represents one of the largest real-world datasets ever exposed.

It’s now clear that the official narrative of “safe and effective” cannot survive serious scrutiny.

Japan’s public health crisis is finally coming into focus.

The data confirms that far from saving lives, the mRNA program may have caused one of the greatest public health disasters in modern history.

Is Climate Agenda Really a Depopulation Agenda?

How 'facts' are being made to fit the agenda | Herald Sun

Rhoda Wilson

This article is a re-print. We originally published this article on 10 October 2024.

On Tuesday, The Guardian reported that a group of “expert” climate scientists have said Earth’s “vital signs” have hit record extremes, indicating that “the future of humanity hangs in the balance.”

The Guardian was referring to the ‘The 2024 state of the climate report’ published in the journal BioScience.  It’s an annual report. If you scroll down to the ‘acknowledgement’ section it’s clear the purpose of the report is to encourage more people to sign the Alliance of World Scientists’ “The World Scientists’ Warning of a Climate Emergency paper (Ripple et al. 2020).”  Which is mentioned again in the ‘supplementary data’.

The “report” from a “group of expert climate scientists” is unashamedly an activist outreach.  Rather than recognise this, The Guardian amplified the “report.”

The Guardian gave its highlights of the “report” which demonstrates that the climate agenda and the depopulation agenda are indeed the same agenda:

To the last sentence in the quote from The Guardian, The Byte adds “On top of the large amounts of deforestation required to farm some of them.”  The Byte of course didn’t mention the deforestation being done to accommodate wind turbines or solar panels; the 17 million trees cut down since 2000 to develop “renewable” “green” wind farms in Scotland, for example.  Or Bill Gates’ project to cut down trees and bury them.  No.  It is only deforestation for farming that is mentioned.

[…]

Human Population Increasing

The figure of 200,000 for the daily increase in the human population comes from The World Scientists’ Warning of a Climate Emergency paper (Ripple et al. 2020), the same paper ‘The 2024 state of the climate report’ wants more people to sign in response to their “report.”

Unsurprisingly, William J. Ripple, from the Department of Forest Ecosystems and Society at Oregon State University (hardly an “expert climate scientist”) and the director of the Alliance of World Scientists, is the lead author of both the 2020 paper and the 2024 report. He’s not the only author the two documents have in common.

[…]

We shall from now on refer to the “report” The Guardian publicised as “Ripple’s report” and the paper/declaration the “group of expert climate scientists” want others to sign as “Ripple’s paper.”

On Oregon State University’s ‘Alliance of Scientists’ page, is a condensed version of Ripple’s paper for people to sign.  The full paper is behind a paywall; most signatories will not have had the benefit of reading it.

Embedded at the end of the condensed version and immediately after a request to donate to their project, the page provides a hyperlink to ‘Global Human and Livestock/Methane Counters and Emissions Trackers’.

One of the “counters and emissions trackers” is the ‘Global Human and Ruminant Livestock Counter’, the only one to include humans, all the others relate to livestock.  Explaining how the counter is increasing in supposedly real time, it states: “Human population was predicted using the FAOSTAT [Food and Agricultural Organisation of the United Nations] projected population for 2020 and 2021. A constant rate of growth over this periodwas assumed. Ruminant population size was predicted using FAOSTAT world livestock data from 1961-2019.”

[…]

How Accurate is Ripple’s Population Estimate?

Ripple writes as if the population increasing by 200,000 per day is a fact, even though it is an estimate of a 3-year-old projection.  So, what is the world’s population and is it increasing by 200,000 people a day?  The truth is no one knows. The United Nations (“UN”) doesn’t know, neither does Ripple, Carrington nor The Guardian.

[…]

Here are some of the reasons why attempts to estimate the global population cannot be made with any accuracy:

  • Historical population data before the 18th century are scarce and often based on rough estimates.
  • Different organisations and researchers may employ distinct methodologies, different assumptions and different data sources to estimate population sizes, leading to variations in the numbers.
  • The accuracy of population estimates relies heavily on the quality of underlying data, such as census records, vital statistics and surveys. In many developing countries, data collection and recording systems may be incomplete, inaccurate or unreliable. Many countries, especially in Africa and Asia, do not conduct regular censuses or provide reliable population estimates.
  • Population estimates are typically reported to the nearest million or billion, which means that the actual figure may be significantly different from the reported value.
  • Future population projections are subject to even greater uncertainties, as they rely on assumptions about demographic trends, fertility rates, mortality rates and migration patterns. Small changes in these assumptions can result in significant differences in projected population sizes.
  • Population estimates and projections may vary significantly across regions and countries, due to differences in demographic trends, data quality and methodology.

Putin: Russia rejects ‘technological colonialism’

Russia rejects ‘technological colonialism’ – Putin

RT

Moscow aims to share its innovative atomic energy technology but does not strive to make partner countries dependent on Russia’s solutions, President Vladimir Putin said during his address to the Global Atomic Forum on Thursday.

“We reject so-called technological colonialism,” Putin stated, stressing that Russia wants to help countries develop their own sovereign nuclear industries by training personnel, engaging with local energy companies, assisting in power unit operation and ensuring nuclear supplies and waste management.

Nuclear energy is a key clean energy source amid rising global demand, driven in part by artificial intelligence and large-scale data processing, Putin said, adding that Russia is already creating modular data processing systems at nuclear plants, which provide steady power supply for such technologies.

The president highlighted that atomic power is a cornerstone of green technologies, outperforming other energy sources in cost, environmental safety, and stability.

As the only country with full-cycle nuclear capabilities, Russian-designed plants are among the most reliable and sought-after worldwide, he noted. Putin also confirmed that the country is moving toward serial production of small land-based and floating nuclear power plants.

Safety remains a top priority, calling for reinforced standards at every stage of the nuclear cycle from uranium mining to waste disposal, he said.

According to Putin, financing large-scale nuclear projects requires balanced risk-sharing and that the BRICS New Development Bank has confirmed its readiness to support such initiatives.

On resources, Putin remarked that ensuring their availability is “the most important issue” and that while some forecasts say the world’s uranium deposits could be completely depleted by 2090, in reality this could happen by the 2060s.

Russia is already developing solutions to this issue and, by 2030, plans to launch the world’s first nuclear energy system with a closed fuel cycle that will allow 95% of spent fuel to be reused in reactors, he told the audience.

The president proposed that this mechanism could ultimately completely solve the problem of radioactive waste accumulation and resolve the issue of uranium availability.

The Illegal US Occupation of Hawaii

Fight for the Pacific

Al Jazeera (2025)

Film Review

This film profile indigenous Kanaka Maoli women who view Hawai’i as territory illegally /the US has occupied illegally for over 100 years without a legal annexation treaty. In 1893 US Marines invaded to help a few mainland sugar planters launch a coup. Most native Hawaiians believe the US just wants Hawai’i for its deep ocean harbor at Pearl Harbor, essential for launching Pacific wars. At present Hawai’i is the command and control center for all US military operations in Asia. This makes the state’s civilian population extremely to enemy attack.

One quarter of the state’s land base Is used for US military operations, with all service branches represented. The area around Pearl Harbor used to be the the country’s bread basket and is now totally contaminated with toxic waste.

The external economies of tourism and the US military substantially inflate the cost of living for native Kanaki, forcing many to work two full time tourist jobs to survive. The state has the highest homeless rate in the US, and many homeless Kanaka are military veterans.

Kanaka activists are also extremely concerned about the AUKUS nuclear submarines docking at Pearl Harbor, especially in light of the deplorable nuclear colonialism the US practiced on the Marshall Islands. Between 1946 and 1958, the US dropped the equivalent of 1.6 Hiroshima bombs annually on the islands. During the same period they forcibly and secretly exposed a group of Marshall Islanders to the nuclear tests to study the human health effects. Because their soil continues to be contaminated with radioactive nucleotides, Marshall Islanders must import canned and processed food, leading to an epidemic of diabetes.

Italy and Spain deploy ships to help Gaza aid flotilla targeted in drone attack

Volunteers from the Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF) – an organization trying to get aid into the besieged enclave using ships setting sail from ports across the Mediterranean – say that some of their vessels were targeted by drones. The organization claimed the attacks are part of a sustained Israeli campaign of intimidation.

CNN has reached out to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) for comment.

The boats were just days from reaching the enclave when the latest reported attacks occurred on Tuesday.

“In the final days before reaching Gaza, the GSF is experiencing an alarmingly dangerous escalation, with multiple boats reporting targeted explosions and unidentified objects being dropped on and near the boats, causing significant damage and widespread obstruction in communication,” the organization said in a statement Tuesday.

The incident has raised urgent concerns for the safety of the more than 500 unarmed participants aboard the flotillas, the GSF said.

There are variety of nationals on board the vessels, including citizens from Italy, Sweden and Spain, CNN understands.

Speaking from one of the vessels following the reported attack, a Spanish lawmaker urged international action to help the activists.

“I think this has to escalate further and further and reach … European Commission levels, because this needs to be tackled, coordinated with all the countries, at least in Europe,” lawmaker Juan Bordera told Reuters.

Bordera added that those on the flotilla were “stressed” and lived through a “crazy, crazy nightmare” amid Tuesday night’s explosions.

Israel’s previous warning to flotilla

On Tuesday, Israel’s foreign ministry said on X that the country would take “necessary measures” to stop the flotilla from reaching Gaza. The ministry said it would be willing to transfer the aid from the flotilla to Gaza through the Ashkelon port in Israel, but it accused flotilla organizers of refusing such a transfer and “pursuing a violent course of action.”

“If the flotilla continues to reject Israel’s peaceful proposal, Israel will take the necessary measures to prevent its entry into the combat zone and to stop any violation of a lawful naval blockade, while making every possible effort to ensure the safety of its passengers,” the ministry added.

Francesca Albanese, United Nations special rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territories, wrote on X that the flotilla had come under attack 14 times between Tunis and Crete. “Four vessels are now damaged and require urgent repair. As of last night, an unexploded device remains on one of the boats,” she wrote.

UN Human Rights Office spokesperson Thameen Al-Kheetan has called for an “independent, impartial and thorough investigation” into the reported attacks.

Italy authorized the dispatch of an Italian naval vessel, which according to a statement from Italian Defense Minister Guido Crosetto, is now en route to the area for possible rescue operations. The statement added that the drone attack was carried out by “currently unidentified perpetrators.”

Rome urges flotilla organizers to hand over aid for distribution

Hours later, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni spoke of her “total condemnation” of the drone strike on Tuesday night, adding that Italy is “conducting our own investigation to determine who is responsible.”

Meloni also advised those on the flotilla against needlessly risking their safety by continuing the mission.

“All of this is gratuitous, dangerous, and irresponsible. There’s no need to risk one’s safety and enter a war zone to deliver aid to Gaza, which the Italian government could have delivered in a matter of hours.”

She urged them instead to accept a proposal from Rome to transfer the aid to the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem in Cyprus, which would then assume the responsibility of delivery.

Italian officials say the Gaza-bound vessels are carrying Italian citizens, along with parliamentarians. “To ensure their safety, the foreign ministry had already notified the Israeli authorities that any operation entrusted to Israel’s armed forces be conducted in compliance with international law and the principle of absolute caution,” a statement from Italy’s foreign ministry said.

Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani is working to mediate with the Israeli government to allow the humanitarian supplies transported by the flotilla to enter Gaza, a spokesperson for his office told CNN.

“The minister is in contact with the Israeli government and has identified a credible mediation mechanism. The Italian government is examining all options to avoid further offensive actions against the flotilla’s vessels,” the office added.

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said his country is also sending a ship on Thursday to assist the flotilla “in the event of any difficulties” and for potential rescue operations.

Israel’s Foreign Ministry reiterated on Wednesday evening that the flotilla would not be allowed to reach Gaza but that it could unload the aid “at any port in a nearby country outside Israel, from which it could be transferred peacefully to Gaza.”

Meanwhile, Sweden’s foreign ministry said it is following the developments very closely, adding that approximately 15 Swedish nationals were aboard the vessels.

Google Admits Biden Pressured Content Removal, Promises to Restore Banned YouTube Accounts

Google admits bending to political pressure, but only long after the damage was already done.

After years of denying bias, Google now concedes that it gave in to pressure from the Biden White House to remove content that did not breach its own rules.

The admission comes alongside a promise to restore access to YouTube accounts permanently removed for political speech related to COVID-19 and elections, topics where government officials had applied behind-the-scenes pressure to control the narrative.

This move follows sustained scrutiny from the House Judiciary Committee, which Reclaim The Net covered extensively, led by Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH), who issued a subpoena and spearheaded an investigation that revealed the extent of government influence on content moderation decisions at Google.

In a letter from its legal representative, Google confirmed that it faced pressure from the federal government to suppress lawful speech.

We obtained a copy of the letter for you here.

Google revealed that it had been contacted multiple times by top federal officials regarding content on its platforms, even when that content did not break any rules.

The company stated that “Senior Biden Administration officials, including White House officials, conducted repeated and sustained outreach to Alphabet and pressed the Company regarding certain user-generated content related to the COVID-19 pandemic that did not violate its policies.”

According to the company, this outreach took place in a broader political climate that made it difficult to operate independently.

Google noted that “The political environment during the pandemic created significant pressure on platforms, including YouTube, to address content that some deemed harmful.”

While describing the situation, Google made clear its disapproval of such efforts, stating bluntly that “This pressure was – and remains – unacceptable and wrong.”

In response to this period of politicized enforcement, the company said it is now taking steps to reverse prior censorship decisions.

As part of that process, Google confirmed that “Reflecting the Company’s commitment to free expression, YouTube will provide an opportunity for all creators to rejoin the platform if the company terminated their channels for repeated violations of COVID-19 and elections integrity policies that are no longer in effect.”

The letter also clarified YouTube’s approach to content moderation, explicitly rejecting the use of outside arbiters. “YouTube does not use third-party fact checkers to determine whether content should be removed or labeled,” the company said.

Acknowledging the role of political diversity on its platform, Google stated that “YouTube values conservative voices on its platform. These creators have extensive reach and play an important role in civic discourse.”

The company concluded with a broader statement rejecting government interference in lawful online speech, saying that “The federal government should not play a role in pressuring private companies to take action on lawful speech.”

The revelations echo findings in the Murthy v. Missouri case, where lower courts found that federal agencies had taken on a role similar to an “Orwellian ‘Ministry of Truth.’” While the Supreme Court dismissed the case on procedural grounds, the core issues around government pressure on speech remain unresolved.

The investigation into Google is part of a broader probe into how tech firms handled information related to the 2020 election, COVID-19, and high-profile political topics such as Hunter Biden’s laptop. The committee’s findings show a pattern of censorship aligned with political objectives.

Tucker Carlson: How CIA Deliberately Allowed Two 9/11 Hijackers Into US

nawaf al hazmi khalid al mihdhar

by | Sep 23, 2025

Tucker Carlson has a new series coming out called “The 9/11 Files”, the first episode of which I stumbled across today on Rumble. It covers how the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) was tracking two of the alleged hijackers of American Airlines Flight 77, the plane flown into the Pentagon on September 11, 2001.

The CIA tracked Nawaf al-Hazmi and Khalid al-Mihdhar to a meeting of Al Qaeda operatives in Kuala Lumpar, Malaysia, in early 2000 and knew they had visas to enter the US but “failed” to notify the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). The FBI also “failed” to learn about the two operatives being in the country despite the pair renting a room in the home of an FBI informant.

The first episode of “The 9/11 Files”, published today, is titled “The CIA’s Secret Mission Gone Wrong“. Here’s the video description:

A former FBI agent who was embedded in the CIA’s Bin Laden unit, Mark Rossini, claims the CIA was fully aware that the 9/11 hijackers were in the United States planning an attack. Rather than inform the FBI, the CIA tried to recruit two of the hijackers for a “false-flag” operation, which quickly spiraled out of control. The failed mission raises urgent questions about government secrecy, intelligence failures, and what really happened before 9/11.

While Carlson brings some more recently disclosed information to light, much of the episode covers long-known information about how the CIA was tracking al-Hazmi and al-Mihdhar and allowed them into the US without notifying the FBI or State Department. I mentioned this in the following articles of mine, for instance:

The Congressional “Joint Inquiry into Intelligence Community Activities before and after the Terrorist Attacks of September 11, 2001“, published in December 2002, detailed how the pair of Al Qaeda operatives were allowed to enter the US by the CIA and subsequently had close contact with an FBI informant.

The written statement for the join inquiry from the Director of Central Intelligence (DCI) George Tenet admitted how the CIA had obtained a photocopy of al-Mihdhar’s passport, which contained a US multiple-entry visa, but did not notify the FBI or State Department.

Carlson rightly lambastes as a complete whitewash the 9/11 Commission Report, published in July 2004, which also admitted how the CIA had let the Al Qaeda operatives into the country, attributing this outcome benignly to “A Lost Trail”.

Questions about that event prepared by the Commission were revealed in a short document titled “Issues Relating to The FBI Informant with Whom 9/11 Hijackers Nawaf al-Hazmi and Khalid al-Mihdhar Resided“, declassified in July 2015.

It was discussed in a staff monograph for the 9/11 Commission dated August 20 2004, titled “Legal Barriers to Information Sharing: The Erection of a Wall Between Intelligence and Law Enforcement Investigations“.

The “failure” was also discussed in a November 2004 report from the Department of Justice (DOJ) titled “A Review of the FBI’s Handling of Intelligence Information Related to the September 11 Attacks“, which was provided to the 9/11 Commission, first released in a redacted version in June 2005, and fully unclassified in November 2006.

While the the identity of the FBI informant from whom al-Hazmi and al-Mihdhar lived in San Diego was not revealed in any of those documents, news reports named the person as “Abdussattar Shaikh”.

The New York Times named him in an October 24, 2001, article titled “Sense of Trust Is Shaken in Man Who Took Suspects Into Home“, which did not report that Shaikh was an FBI asset. Those dots were connected by the Washington Post in an October 11, 2002, article titled “9/11 Panel Discusses Informant“.

Carlson’s episode on the pair of Al Qaeda operatives tracked by the CIA draws heavily on a more recent document helping to fill in some of the gaps. It’s a court filing of a sworn declaration by Don Canestraro, a lead investigator at the Military Commissions Defense Organization, the arm of the Department of Defense (DOD) tasked with defending 9/11 conspirators before the Military Tribunals at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

The document was obtained by SpyTalk, which published a Substack article about it on March 22, 2023, titled “Exclusive: FBI Agents Accuse CIA of 9/11 Coverup“.

FloridaBulldog.org interviewed Canestraro and reported about the document on April 9, 2023, in an article titled “Ex-FBI agents accuse top CIA, FBI officials of 9/11 coverup; CIA said to use Saudis, others for illegal domestic spy operations“.

Crediting SpyTalk with obtaining the filing, The Grayzone also reported about it on April 18, 2023, in an article titled “Bombshell filing: 9/11 hijackers were CIA recruits“.

The information contained in Canestraro’s declaration indicates that the CIA was working with Saudi intelligence to recruit al-Hazmi and al-Mihdhar as informants.

According to Canestraro, he was told in September 2016 by former National Security Advisor Richard Clarke, who served under the Bush administration at the time of the 9/11 attacks, “that the CIA was running a ‘false flag’ operation to recruit the hijackers.”

White House rehires hundreds of employees fired by Musk’s DOGE

White House rehires hundreds of employees fired by Musk’s DOGE – AP

RT

Federal workers were dismissed in the government efficiency czar’s cost-cutting push

Hundreds of US federal employees dismissed during Elon Musk’s cost-cutting campaign are now being asked to return to work, the Associated Press has reported.

US President Donald Trump kicked off the waste-cutting effort a month after taking office, with the initiative being led by the newly formed Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Musk headed the department until June, when he stepped down amid mounting tensions with the president.

The reinstatement offers affect workers who previously oversaw federal office spaces, AP reported on Tuesday.

The General Services Administration (GSA), which manages government properties and acquisitions, has given the affected employees until the end of the week to decide. According to the outlet, those who accept must report back on October 6, following what has effectively been seven months’ paid leave. During that period, the GSA in some cases incurred high costs – passed along to taxpayers – for dozens of leases it had planned to terminate or allowed to expire.

“Ultimately, the outcome was the agency was left broken and understaffed,” Chad Becker, a former GSA real estate official, told AP. He said the GSA has been in “triage mode” for months, with the recall underscoring how Musk’s team went “too far, too fast.”

Some employees who were dismissed under Musk’s program are also being rehired by other federal agencies.

The mass departures began in March, when thousands of GSA employees left under early retirement or resignation programs. Hundreds more were dismissed outright, though many continued to receive their salaries through September despite not working.

At its peak, DOGE sought to cancel nearly half of the GSA’s 7,500 leases and sell off hundreds of federally owned buildings.

Other agencies are reportedly facing similar challenges. The IRS, Labor Department, and National Park Service have all recently brought back employees who accepted buyouts, the report said.

SpaceX CEO Musk became increasingly close to Trump during the Republican’s presidential campaign and in the first months of his administration, but later opposed Trump’s massive tax-and-spending bill, triggering a public rift between the pair.

Statue of Trump and Epstein holding hands placed on National Mall

People stop to examine a statue featuring President Donald Trump and deceased financier Jeffrey Epstein outside the US Capitol.Tom Brenner/For The Washington Post

A spray-painted bronze statue titled “Best Friends Forever” that depicts President Trump and disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein holding hands was placed on the National Mall in front of the US Capitol early Tuesday morning.

The work is the latest in a series of politically charged sculptures critical of the president that have been placed in Washington and elsewhere by an anonymous group.

A plaque at the base of the installation reads, “We celebrate the long-lasting bond between President Donald J Trump and his ‘closest friend,’ Jeffrey Epstein.”

The relationship between the president and Epstein, a convicted sex offender who died in jail in 2019, has come into sharper focus this year as both supporters and critics of the administration have called for the full release of files related to Epstein.

The president’s friendship with Epstein began in the 1980s when they were neighbours in Florida. The men often appeared in public together and Trump, like many other prominent people, flew on Epstein’s jet on multiple occasions.

A dispute over a real estate deal in 2004 appears to have upended the relationship between the two. When Epstein was arrested in 2019 on suspicion of sex-trafficking underage girls, Trump, then in his first term as president, said: “I had a falling-out with him a long time ago. I don’t think I’ve spoken to him for 15 years. I wasn’t a fan.”

Massie Says He Has Signatures to Force Vote on Epstein File

WURTLAND  — Kentucky Republican U.S. Rep. Thomas Massie says he will soon have the 218 signatures needed to force a U.S. House vote on releasing federal investigation files on convicted sex offender and financier Jeffery Epstein.

Massie, who has led the crusade to release the files much to the ire of Republican President Donald Trump, spoke about his discharge petition during a community forum in rural northeastern Kentucky. He said the results of the special House election in Arizona Tuesday night ensure the petition will receive support from the required number of U.S. House members.

“Both of the candidates on the ballot promised to sign my discharge petition,” Massie said. “And one of them won, obviously, and so now we’re going to have 218 signatures, and we’re going to force a vote on releasing those files.”

The winner of the special election was Democratic candidate Adelita Grijalva.

Earlier this month, Massie appeared with victims of Epstein who supported the release of the files.

House Republican leaders oppose Massie’s efforts and are backing an investigation by the House Oversight Committee, which is chaired by another Kentucky Republican, U.S. Rep. James Comer.

Massie told reporters after the forum that D.C. leaders are “in full panic” following the election. He also added that they politically “threatened” Republican co-signers of the petition.

If Republican U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson tries to use “some special parliamentary procedure” to stall the petition, Massie said it also would require 218 votes.

“And if you participate in that vote to sideline the discharge petition, now you’re part of the coverup. So, they’re going to have a vote. I think they’re coming to terms with that,” Massie said.

He added: “And I’m going to bet the speaker is probably going to hand out hall passes to some congressmen, because this is an 80-20 issue. He may be advising some of the members of the Republican Party to vote for my discharge petition.”

Epstein’s death in federal custody in 2019 was ruled a suicide, although many Trump supporters have speculated that he was murdered to keep him from revealing embarrassing information about prominent people. Trump fueled speculation about Epstein’s death during his 2020 campaign. In 2024, Trump said he would declassify the Epstein records if returned to the presidency.

Trump has previously vowed to find a candidate to oust Massie in the Republican primary for Kentucky 4th Congressional District. The area has become a stronghold for Republicans who back Massie, but has also voted for Trump in presidential elections.

Massie appeared at the Greenup County stop with Kentucky Republican U.S. Sen. Rand Paul. The two are traveling the district Wednesday and Thursday for a mix of official and campaign events.

Paul told reporters that some members of Congress may vote to object to changing the rules, not just on the petition.

“So, I think you actually might get even more of a groundswell if he tries to turn off the discharge petition,” Paul said of possible efforts by House Speaker Johnson.
