Epstein’s role went far beyond sex scandals. He served as a conduit—connecting political figures, financial dynasties, academic institutions, and multinational corporations. Yet the media is silent. The United Nations’ so-called “Sustainable Development Goals” (SDGs) are being sold to the public as a benign effort to end hunger, poverty, and disease. But as Alex Newman explained …

Years ago, I sat across from a former police commissioner from Beijing. We were discussing things we had both seen: abuses, prisons, a system he had grown up in, and a system I had spent years exposing. He looked at me with a strange mix of pity and cynicism and said something I've never forgotten: "You Americans ... you are too kind. You don't understand real evil." He didn't mean we were nice.

So, allow me to call your attention to voices I normally avoid.  Conservative provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos recently put his finger on the reason the Jeffrey Epstein scandal remains important as the midterms approach.

The Trump administration is casting new scrutiny on foreign funding at U.S. colleges and universities — a push critics say is part of a broader effort to assert control over higher education under the guise of national security. The big picture: The Department of Education is pointing to newly-revealed data on foreign gifts and contracts to schools as a national security issue, which is misleading, Alexander Cooley, a political scientist researching foreign authoritarian influence, tells Axios. Driving the news: The Education Department on Wednesday released foreign funding disclosure data submitted by colleges and universities for 2025, "documenting over 8,300 transactions worth more than $5.2 billion in reportable foreign gifts and contracts."
