(The Economic Collapse Blog)—I literally feel sick right now. After waiting for years for the truth about Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking operation to come out, and after months of being promised that stunning new information would be released soon, now we are being told to forget the entire thing. The people that were brought in to run the Justice Department and the FBI were supposed to restore faith in the system, but instead they are destroying it. Nobody that can think rationally is buying the lies that we are being fed. Apparently we are supposed to believe that Jeffrey Epstein didn’t have a client list, he never blackmailed anyone, and he was solely responsible for his own death…
A Justice Department and FBI review of the investigation related to disgraced late financier Jeffrey Epstein found that there was no “client list” or evidence that he blackmailed prominent figures, according to a memo detailing the findings.
The review also concluded that Epstein died by suicide while in custody at a Manhattan correctional facility in August 2019. Epstein was facing federal sex trafficking charges, and his death was subsequently investigated by the Justice Department’s internal watchdog and the FBI.
The Justice Department and FBI said in their memo that video footage reviewed by bureau investigators — and made available to the public — confirmed that Epstein was locked in his cell and nobody entered tiers of the unit where he was housed at the time of his death.
The Justice Department and the FBI are now facing an unprecedented credibility problem, because millions of us simply do not believe them.
After everything that has happened, the American people deserve some answers. The following are 12 important questions that all Americans should be asking about the shameful attempt to cover up the truth about Jeffrey Epstein.
#1 Why were Jeffery Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell arrested and charged with operating an enormous sex trafficking ring that supposedly involved thousands of clients if no such clients ever existed? As Robby Starbuck has pointed out, apparently we are supposed to believe that all of the powerful men that visited Epstein’s island were “just there to catch some waves and relax”…
#2 Why did U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi tell Fox News in February that Epstein’s client list was “sitting on my desk right now to review” if no such client list ever existed?…
U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi on Friday said the Jeffrey Epstein client list is “sitting on my desk right now” and she is reviewing the JFK and MLK files as well after President Donald Trump’s earlier directives.
“It’s sitting on my desk right now to review,” Bondi told ‘America Reports’ host John Roberts on Friday. “That’s been a directive by President Trump.”
#3 What was in the “thousands of documents” related to the Epstein case that were suddenly discovered in February?…
Attorney General Pam Bondi has been made aware of “thousands of documents” related to the investigation into Jeffrey Epstein that were previously not disclosed to her office, she said in a letter on Thursday.
#4 When Bondi claimed that the Epstein flight logs would “make you sick” in March, what did she mean by that?…
Attorney general Pam Bondi released hundreds of pages of information connected to Epstein in March, promising it would disclose “a lot of names” and flight logs that would “make you sick”.
#5 In May, Bondi confessed that there were “tens of thousands of videos” related to the Epstein investigation. What was in those videos?…
She said in May that the FBI was reviewing “tens of thousands of videos” of Epstein “with children or child porn.” Bondi’s comments and the delay in releasing the next batch of documents have tapped into suspicions that damaging details about Epstein or other prominent figures remain hidden.
#6 Other than Jeffery Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, why hasn’t anyone else that was involved in the sex trafficking operation ever been arrested?…
#7 The memo that was released on Sunday night says that there will be “no further disclosure” in this case. Does this mean that the Trump administration’s search for the truth ends here?…
In a memo published by Axios Sunday night, the DOJ and FBI jointly stated that the Epstein files did not include a client list, or evidence of additional perpetrators — and that there will be “no further disclosure” of information on the case.
“This systematic review revealed no incriminating ‘client list,’” The memo said. “There was also no credible evidence found that Epstein blackmailed prominent individuals as part of his actions. We did not uncover evidence that could predicate an investigation against uncharged third parties.”
#8 The memo also states that there is no “evidence that could predicate an investigation against uncharged third parties”. Does this mean that none of the men that were having sex with underage girls will ever be brought to justice?…
Investigators found “no incriminating ‘client list’ ” of Epstein’s, “no credible evidence … that Epstein blackmailed prominent individuals,” and no “evidence that could predicate an investigation against uncharged third parties,” the memo adds.
#9 On the night that Epstein died, why were there so many strange “coincidences”?…
The jail had been told Epstein should have a cellmate, and that a guard must check on him every 30 minutes.
But on the night he died, his cellmate was transferred and not replaced and he was not checked on as often as required.
Two guards fell asleep at their desks – and later falsified their records.
Meanwhile, two cameras in front of Epstein’s cell malfunctioned that night – while another’s footage was “unusable”.
#10 Hours of video footage from outside Epstein’s cell on the night that he died has been released. Did they think that we wouldn’t notice that a full minute has been cut out of that video footage?…
But now we can confirm that an entire minute was cut from the DOJ video that was released last night. Why? What are they hiding?
If you follow the full video you can see for yourself that the video is cut off at 11:59:00.
The video feed then restarts exactly at 12:00:00.
Where is the missing video?
#11 During the time that Elon Musk had unprecedented access to the government’s computer systems, did he learn some startling truths about the Epstein investigation? If so, will he reveal what he knows now that he has started his own political party?
#12 Why was this memo about the Epstein case released to the public late on Sunday night on the 4th of July weekend? Were they hoping that it would make as little news as possible?
I am so upset.
The victims of Epstein’s sex trafficking operation are never going to get any justice.
And all of the very sick men that committed unspeakable crimes are never going to be held accountable.
A line has been crossed that will never be able to be uncrossed.
How are we supposed to have faith in our federal law enforcement agencies after this?
They are lying to our faces and they are convinced that they are totally getting away with it.
There are some moments in history that are so horrifying that they will never be forgotten.
This is one of those moments.

Why Bullion Beats Numismatics and Collectible for Your Safe or IRA
Precious metals continue to attract Americans seeking reliable ways to protect their wealth amid inflation, geopolitical risks, and stock market swings. Whether stored in a home safe or held inside a self-directed IRA, physical gold and silver deliver tangible value that paper or digital assets often lack. Yet investors must choose carefully between bullion—pure bars and coins valued mainly for their metal content—and numismatics or collectibles, where rarity, history, and collector demand heavily influence pricing.
Advisor Bullion serves as a dependable source for straightforward, high-quality bullion. The company specializes in physical gold, silver, platinum, and palladium, emphasizing transparent pricing and products that deliver maximum metal content for every dollar spent. This approach makes it ideal for both personal holdings and retirement accounts.
Bullion consists of refined precious metals in standard forms like one-ounce coins (American Gold Eagles, Silver Eagles, Canadian Maple Leafs) or bars. Their value tracks closely to the current spot price of the metal. A typical gold bullion coin trades near the live gold spot price plus a small premium. This structure keeps costs clear and predictable.
Numismatic coins and collectibles add substantial value from factors such as age, rarity, minting errors, or historical significance. A pre-1933 U.S. gold coin or graded proof piece can carry premiums of 30%, 50%, or even 200% above melt value. While this appeals to hobbyists, it creates complexity. Pricing depends on subjective grading, collector trends, and auction results instead of daily spot prices.
For investors focused on wealth preservation and retirement security rather than building a collection, bullion often delivers better results.
Lower Costs and Better Liquidity for Home Storage
When keeping metals in a home safe or private vault, liquidity and efficiency count. Bullion offers clear benefits:
- You acquire more actual gold or silver per dollar invested. Numismatics divert a large share of your money into rarity premiums and massive sales commission, reducing your metal exposure.
- Selling bullion involves tight bid-ask spreads, so you recover nearly full spot value with minimal fees. Collectibles require finding the right buyer and may sell at a discount if demand for that specific item weakens.
- Bullion prices remain transparent and update with global spot markets. You can track gold near current levels or silver accordingly and know exactly where your holdings stand. Numismatic values are priced by the Gold IRA companies with hefty margins applied.
- Standardized coins and bars store efficiently and divide easily for partial sales. Rare coins often need protective slabs and controlled conditions, adding hassle and expense.
- Bullion enjoys worldwide acceptance. A 1-oz Gold Maple Leaf or Silver Eagle sells quickly to dealers anywhere. Niche numismatic pieces may appeal only to limited buyers, slowing liquidation when speed matters.
In times when quick access to value becomes important, bullion’s simplicity stands out.
Stronger Fit for Precious Metals IRAs
Precious metals IRAs continue gaining traction as investors diversify retirement portfolios beyond stocks and bonds. IRS rules permit certain bullion products in self-directed IRAs if they meet purity standards (.995 fine for gold, .999 for silver) and are held by an approved custodian. Eligible items include American Gold and Silver Eagles plus many generic bars and rounds from recognized mints.
Numismatic and most collectible coins generally face heavy scrutiny from custodians due to valuation disputes and elevated markups. These higher premiums mean less actual metal ends up working inside the account.
Bullion avoids these issues. Its value links directly to verifiable spot prices, which simplifies reporting and lowers the risk of regulatory challenges. More of your IRA contribution purchases real metal instead of dealer profits or speculative upside. Over time, owning additional ounces that appreciate with the metal itself can create meaningful outperformance compared with high-premium alternatives that deliver fewer ounces.
Regulatory guidance from the CFTC and state securities offices repeatedly cautions against aggressive sales of expensive numismatics or “semi-numismatic” coins for IRAs. For retirement planning, transparent bullion from established providers reduces risk and aligns better with long-term goals.
How to Get Started with Bullion
Begin by clarifying your goals. Are you protecting savings in a safe, or moving part of a retirement account into a precious metals IRA? Focus on the number of ounces you can acquire at current prices rather than chasing marked-up collectibles.
Diversify sensibly: use gold for core preservation and silver for its blend of industrial and monetary qualities. Mix coins for easier divisibility with bars for lower per-ounce costs on larger buys. Arrange secure storage—whether at home with proper insurance or through professional facilities.
As economic uncertainties linger and faith in conventional assets erodes, bullion continues proving its worth as a dependable store of value. Its direct approach avoids the hype that sometimes surrounds collectible markets and keeps the focus on the metal itself.
For investors prepared to strengthen their portfolios, Advisor Bullion supplies the expertise and selection needed to acquire high-quality bullion efficiently. Whether building personal holdings or integrating metals into an IRA, their emphasis on transparent, investment-grade products helps secure more ounces today that support greater financial security tomorrow. In a complicated financial landscape, bullion’s clarity and reliability make it the smarter foundation for protecting what matters most.
did anyone notice that the video of Epstein’s cell and pictures from the night of his death are of two different places with different doors?
There has to be demons threatening these good men and women…maybe even inflicting harm on those they’ve sworn to protect, us, if they were to go and expose these most evil, evil, demons. We as a nation must put our faith in Jesus Christ now more then ever, pray for those in our government that they do the right thing, but ultimately have faith that God has a plan.
Shameful that even these so called Conservative or Right Wing News Sights censor comments when Jesus or God are used in a post…Shameful, where’s my comment? I didn’t curse, I’m not a troll Lefty, I’m disappointed in this site.
One important question never asked – Why is Maxine still alive? Time to question her with promises of protection, plea deals, and freedom. If any person should know – it would be HER!
The only question I have is what can be so important that impeccable Bondi, Patel , Bondigo are willing to lie for?
it is obvious they obfuscate but there is a reason. These are not the typical corrupt lying democrats.
Was it space aliens, Jesus was on the list?
Stop your blasphemy. There is nothing there. Get over it dude
Governments always lie. Re m ember the “joke” about how to tell when a politician is lying?
The U.S. Department of justice and its juvenile delinquent child, the Federal Bureau of investigation have again lost the credibility that they never have had.
Along with the above mentioned, the Trump administration has joined them. The American public including 90% of the MAGA coalition has lost, or is losing faith with the “promises made, promises kept”jargon that has been touted as a trademark of MAGA and the government recovery efforts. Our President Trump and his cohorts believe that as a whole the American public is stupid, ignorant, distracted, or uninterested in a sex trafficking ring that was used by powerful people in both political parties the courts and elite business owners in the U.S. and abroad for years.
“We The People” have already seen the photos of Bill Clinton, John Roberts, and John Podesta with Jeffrey Epstein on the beach at Epstein’s island. We know there is a client list. We know there are hundreds of victims. We know that there are videos of the offenders . We know that the DOJ and the FBI are lying and hiding the evidence.
And now we know that the Trump administration is involved in the criminal cover up of Epstein’s crimes.
Everyone knows these things to be true
Get over it and move on
I am so done with this whole Epstein thing. We have been hearing about it for years now and it is becoming like the “Flat Earth” theory or the “we never went to the moon” theory. Time to forget about it, get over it and just move on from here. There are more important things to address in this country than that.
Tell that to the victims, “Time to just move on”.
What about Prince Andrew? Are we to believe he was a lone outlier?
The only thing I can think of is Bondi has some “stuff” hanging over her head from the George Zimmerman / Trayvon Martin case being used against her. That, or there are names and videos of clients that are a little too close to home for release. https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2024/11/21/president-trump-nominates-pam-bondi-for-u-s-attorney-general-the-deep-swamp-smiles/
This all happened the same time that Bibi Natanyahu was in Washington to give Trump a nomination for the Nobel prize. The whole world knows Epstein and Robert Maxwell were running their blackmail operations for Mossad. Don’t forget AIPAC has a “handler” for every single member of Congress.
For all three to lie about this as blatantly as they have, speaks volumes. We’re not buying what they’re selling and you can bet that it is so bad that our government might come to a standstill if 1/3 of our politicians were put in prison for all the crimes they are committing.
This comes off as if their denial might actually be part of their strategy, as in 4-D Chess, but then when I watched Dan Bongino speak of this, he looked defeated, stressed and as if had to tell a lie he didn’t believe in. I’ve watched Dan for years on his Podcast and I know his style, HE WAS UNDER DURESS WHEN HE SPOKE.
Yes. I watched Patel’s, Bondi’s and Bongino’s eyes and body language – and listened to their voices. Lying.
What ha Trump been doing in all of this? Has he turned his back on the people that elected him?
I don’t care how Epstein died. Now when I see someone in the news I wonder if they are pedophiles’ or enablers. We have seen politicians step in and stop inquires. You can do a billion good deeds and this will always hang over your head. Lee Harvey Oswald was the lone gunman, and Anna Nicole Smith married for love.
When people are threatened (or their families), people shut up. Jeffrey was an operative, and had files and camera recordings of all that was done. The “powers that be” came to Trump and said these files have gone away. We all know that someone has them; but they will never be released and that is that. They will be used at another time to control someone. That is how ALL governments work, and the US is not an exception. We do not even know if Jeffrey is still alive somewhere. It is called a “dead man switch” and it happens.
Trump has a great many other things to worry about. The only pictures we have seen have been of women who were 16, 17, or older hanging around with men at Jeffrey’s condo. The age of consent in Europe is 15, I think. These women willingly went , under the promise of money or fame, as was the Diddly trial farce. If there were pictures of 9 and 10 year old kids, that was never published, so we will never know the age or the outcome. I trust the press less all the time. Yes, Jeffrey was a sleeze- bag, but Trump is worried about the economy, the wars, and the problems left over from the failed Biden administration. Quit attacking him , people!!!! He has only been in there for 6 months picking up the pieces of far more important things. Biondi, Patel, and Dan Bongino were told what to say, and they work for the government. Poor choices in my opinion, but Trump can fire them at will. His choice.
