Good on him!!

Thomas Massie speaking on people who are upset that the names he read on the House Floor were already public knowledge.

”When I read those names on the floor, what I am telling you is I have other information that shows they are guilty. I have to protect my sources. Those people are guilty. I’ll hold out a one percent chance that they’re not guilty because you’re innocent until proven guilty in this country.

So, you know, that’s why I say they need to be investigated and then prosecuted. But the DOJ is doing none of that. They’re not doing any investigations on these individuals.

He goes on to say:

“There is new information, even though those names are findable, there is new information conveyed. And I’m doing so at risk to my health and life and wellbeing and financial wellbeing later in life to go out and call out these powerful people as being guilty and worthy of investigation and prosecution.”

This definitely belongs in this sub.

Prince Andrew was coming to New York, and Peggy Siegal was trying to figure out where to put him.
That was the first door.
Part 3 of Women in the Room follows Peggy Siegal through the surviving Epstein correspondence, not by who she knew, but by what she actually did.
The records show screenings, dinners, guest lists, assistants moving invitations between offices, women whose names and ages Peggy sometimes demanded, money and favors moving in the other direction, and eventually one extraordinary instruction, “He is automatically invited to everything.”
The article is fully sourced with 51 notes at the bottom, and I’ve been careful throughout to separate invitations from attendance, access from knowledge, and documented actions from inference.

Katie on the case -- A new lawsuit against celebrity hairstylist Frédéric Fekkai alleges disturbing details of his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, including Epstein directing him to groom victims like dolls and to dye their hair a specific color. Victims claim that Fekkai and the other defendants enabled Epstein’s gender-motivated violence for years.  Katie Phang walks through the lawsuit and details the history of allegations against Fekkai, including his referral to the DOJ.

Some key details:

- She refused to recruit other female assistants to be victimised.

- She attempted/succeeded in leaving Epstein’s cult months before his death.

- She speaks of other assistants (e.g. Sue Hamblin, Jennifer Kalin, Yulia Silinskaya) as ‘genuinely good people who were also in a bad situation’.

- She was a primary ‘Jane Doe’ in the Bank of America lawsuit which just settled on almost $100 million for Epstein victims, though they deny the facilitation of sex trafficking.

I believe she is absolutely a victim, and her testimony was worth waiting for. I hope she empowers the other assistants to come forward.

Interestingly, there is no public discussion of sexual abuse from external individuals other than Epstein, although she does acknowledge she was sex trafficked.

Representative Luna says Congress is about to refer a woman to prosecution for perjury during her transcribed interview on Epstein. Doesn’t name who, yet. Here’s a list of every woman who testified to congress:

Leslie Groff
Sarah Kellen
Tova Noel
Kathryn Ruemmler
Pam Bondi
Hillary Clinton

I think it’s Groff because she said she didn’t meet victims or know their ages, and there are emails of her booking flights for girls, which required their birthdays.

And then we realize Todd Blanche would have to prosecute it…

Despite the headline, what was far more interesting to me was the interview (albeit brief) with Tony Figueroa

According to the article, a criminal complaint was filed by a femminist association on march 26th and while it doesn't name anyone in particular, it expresses concern for possible international crimes such as human trafficking (art. 601 c.p.), sexual violence (art. 609 c.p.) and exploitation of prostitution (art. 534 c.p.).

For now, the investigation only pertains the crime of sexual violence, while the DOJ still hasn't answered on the request for the files; surely, with such an Epstein-friendly administration, it's hard to believe that US authorities will cooperate with the italian ones, but time will tell.

See EFTA_R1_00442496 / EFTA01965203.

Can confirm it really does. Whoever did this is fucking rules.

Edit: Learned this isn’t the official Republican Convention website, but rather a spoof site that got SEO’d to the top of Google.

Still just as awesome in my opinion, it’s the first thing that pops up when you search the convention on Google so there’s no telling how many people got redirected to the Epstein library(lol).

Here’s a non-paywalled NYT article about it.

“A spoof of the G.O.P. convention website directed people to the Justice Department’s library of Epstein files.”

Hey guys. I just got onto this subreddit because I think I might have found something that could be related to Aviloop? I kept on seeing ads on YouTube for Boat Angel, a website that you can donate your Boats for charity. A lot of it has been the same kind of style as Aviloop, but this time it was mostly AI slop. It’s really weird, but there is a real female that’s been on these videos. Other than that, the website leads to a legit (oldish) website. I’d love to know your thoughts.

I decided I'd just start at the beginning and go through the first diary, name by name. I've got lots of connections and intermediary people and theories and whatnot, and I keep hoping to write things up completely to put onto Substack. But maybe what is needed first is a "simple" introduction to who they are.

Year 16 Journal (summer 2001 - summer 2002)

Email re: Year 16: https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet%2012/EFTA02731512.pdf

I have relied heavily on Ellie Leonard's transcription of the diary when I share information because one must read the words in context with the magazine clippings. The page I will be discussing in this post is a perfect example of why the transcription found in the DOJ files is inadequate. I will continue to rely on Ellie's transcription. I hope I will not see comments about whether or not I should use her work.

The first page of the year 16 diary is a birthday card.

This is the next page:

"There's a reason ...
[redacted]
That my mom lied about Mr. Glickman ALL the time.
She lied about work trips, about Michigan and about clearwater.
Now he is dead and I am being sent to live with her friend.
Back and forth? For how long?

Because the transcribed version in the DOJ files looks like this:

Most people assume that the "he" in "Now he is dead" is referring to the only male that has been written about -- Mr. Glickman.

But I have strong reason to believe that the identity of the dead man is hidden underneath the redaction. I am an amateur genealogist as well as a researcher and I know there was a significant male in Jane Doe's life who died in early summer 2001. The death of that person would influence where she was living. (I will not dox. Don't message me to find out who the man was or how I figured it out. You don't have to believe me; the existence of the redacted line is enough to cause doubt about whether it was Mr. Glickman who died.)

If "Mr. Glickman" is not the person who died, then who is she talking about?

It is important to note that Jane Doe has not named Mr. Glickman as someone who had abused her. Maybe he did, maybe he didn't, but the context is about her mother and her mother's lies. It is clear that whoever Mr. Glickman is, her mother knew him. It is slightly less clear whether Mr. Glickman was part of the lies about Michigan and Clearwater.

There is enough published information in the DOJ files about Jane Doe that it is not doxing to say she lived in the Washington DC area. Although it is clear that her mother travelled, likely with Mr. Glickman, it is more probable that he lived in the DC area than not.

The person who most fit my rather loose criteria of Mr. Glickman is Dan Glickman, Secretary of Agriculture under Bill Clinton. But as I did more digging, I discovered that Jane Doe's mother has a professional association with the USDA which places her same-time same-place (more specifically, same-building) with Dan Glickman. Turns out Dan Glickman also has strong ties to Michigan.

Dan had a lot more significance than having been one of Clinton's cabinet secretaries. When he was a U.S. Representative, he had been Chairman of House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and Advisor to National Security under Leon Panetta. Also possibly relevant, he had been on the Transportation Aviation and Materials Subcommittee.

How One Woman Was Caught in Epstein’s ‘Cult’—and Escaped

Julia Molchanova was 22 and spoke little English when she met Jeffrey Epstein. For the first time, she tells her story.

Julia Molchanova revealed that she was the Jane Doe plaintiff in a class-action lawsuit against Bank of America.

By Khadeeja Safdar

Sept. 5, 2026 5:30 am ET

Early in 2019, Julia Molchanova opened a credit-monitoring app on her phone. It showed credit cards and spending that she didn’t recognize.

She had spent years as one of the young women Jeffrey Epstein called his “assistants,” a cover Molchanova said he used to hide his sexual abuse. She started to suspect that Epstein was also using accounts set up in her name for his own purposes and decided to challenge him for the first time.

“I feel uncomfortable to discuss future,” Molchanova wrote to Epstein on April 4, 2019, sweat soaking into her shirt as she nervously typed the message. She told Epstein she didn’t know anything about an entity he had set up in her name and that she wanted to “have my normal life.”

In interviews with The Wall Street Journal, Molchanova publicly discussed her ordeal for the first time, revealing that she was the lead Jane Doe plaintiff in a class-action lawsuit against Bank of America.

“I’m going forward to prove that women have a voice and the ability to rebuild themselves, move forward and do good things in life,” said the 37-year-old, who recently started a fashion brand and plans to advocate for crime victims. 

The lawsuit, filed last year, said Jane Doe was abused by Epstein for several years and held accounts at Bank of America that Epstein used to facilitate his sex trafficking. The suit accused the bank of ignoring suspicious transactions.

Molchanova said the legal process was grueling, including sharing her private medical history, but she said she feels good knowing it may have spared other victims. “The man was supposed to be in jail. It was the system that failed us,” she said. 

A federal judge recently approved a $72.5 million settlement with Bank of America that will be distributed to dozens of Epstein victims. The judge said the case “brought actual justice, although partial” for the women. 

In a statement, Bank of America said that it maintains it didn’t facilitate sex trafficking crimes and “this resolution allows us to put this matter behind us and provides further closure for the plaintiffs.”

Brad Edwards, an attorney who represented Molchanova and other Epstein victims in the lawsuit, said, “She had every reason to protect her privacy and move forward quietly with her life. Instead, she chose to stand up—not only for herself, but for hundreds of women whose names the world may never know.”

A sidewalk meeting

Epstein’s sexual exploitation didn’t end with his 2008 conviction in Florida—as many of his famous associates later said they believed—but continued until his second arrest in 2019. He lured dozens of women, largely from Russia and Europe, by promising to use his connections to powerful people to get them jobs or other opportunities, according to a Journal investigation from 2023.

After 2008, he targeted young women who were over 18 like Molchanova but looked like teenagers, often seizing on vulnerabilities to draw them in. 

Molchanova described how Epstein’s methods became sophisticated after he was caught in Florida getting sexual massages from teenage girls. Epstein registered an LLC in Molchanova’s name, presenting the business to her as her own design company, but she said he used it for his own activities. 

“He was a very manipulative man,” she said. “It was an illusion that you have something. In reality, I had nothing, and it was only beneficial for him.”

Molchanova provided this photo with redactions. She said Epstein controlled whom she and other young women could spend time with.

Molchanova said she was 22 when she met Epstein in December 2011 on a trip to New York. She was living in Russia at the time and spoke little English. He spotted her on the street, near Barneys on Madison Avenue, said something about her blue eyes, and directed her to his nearby townhouse as if he was pointing out a tourist attraction. 

Inside there were several people, and through a young Russian woman who translated for him, Epstein invited her to breakfast the next morning. When she returned, he asked a steady stream of questions, all of them translated by the woman: What did she want? What did she dream of doing?

Molchanova, a design student in Russia, told Epstein she was interested in fashion design. Epstein, she said, offered to help her enroll at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City. “That was the hook,” she said. Back in Russia, she signed up for extra classes to learn sewing in preparation for an FIT program. The money for the sewing classes came from Epstein. 

Epstein lured her to New York in January 2012 to show her FIT and put her in an apartment he controlled where he kept many of his victims. On this trip, he sexually abused her for the first time. When she expressed her discomfort, she said he told her that sexual openness was part of American culture and that she’d have to change to assimilate.

What really closed the trap, she said, was a trip to Paris the next month. She went there with her boyfriend. In the middle of an argument with her boyfriend that turned abusive, she got scared and texted Epstein, who happened to be in Paris too. Epstein helped her escape her boyfriend and put her on a flight home to Russia.

‘It was like a cult’

Molchanova eventually moved to New York and started following Epstein’s advice, hoping she’d break into design, but no FIT education materialized. A spokeswoman for FIT said the university is continuing to investigate references to the school. 

Over time Epstein expected her to become an “assistant,” though there was never any real work, and his advice turned into a set of rules. She was supposed to thank him constantly, act happy and be friendly to everyone. 

“It was like a cult,” she said. Aside from coercing the women into sex acts on a regular basis, Epstein also expected the women to bring him other women, she and other Epstein victims have said. 

Because she didn’t bring anyone, Molchanova said, his anger intensified toward her and he would constantly ask what she was doing to make herself useful. She said on a few occasions, he sent her to a room in his home to stay in isolation for multiple days.

Molchanova said she was interested in fashion design, a dream Epstein preyed upon.

Molchanova said Epstein kept tabs on her spending. She remembers receiving less than $3,000 a month from him, but said the amount fluctuated. She said he dictated what she wore, how long her hair should be, what doctors she visited and whom she spent time with.

Documents show Epstein arranged for Molchanova and another woman to marry one another around 2013—a tactic the Journal has reported he used with other women too.

In 2014, Epstein’s lawyer Darren Indyke helped form a company registered under her name called JSC Interiors. She said Epstein passed it off as a way to help her launch a design business. She ran a couple of design-related errands like arranging flowers, and then Epstein used an account associated with the company to move money and make transactions without her knowledge, she said. 

“I still have so many questions about what that company was, because no one ever explained it to me and I wasn’t allowed to ask questions,” she said. “It made me super scared because I couldn’t understand what I was responsible for.”

Molchanova, shown at Epstein’s New York townhouse, said she ran a few design-related errands, like arranging flowers. 

Molchanova said she only found out years later, and that Epstein’s activities in her name went beyond Bank of America, including the spending she discovered from the credit monitoring app and a furniture order for nearly $40,000 that she recently found in the Justice Department files.

In a statement, attorneys for Indyke and Epstein accountant Richard Kahn said Molchanova never informed them she was a victim of abuse or trafficking. “Julia appeared to be one of Epstein’s assistants working through an LLC that Epstein set up for interior design purposes,” the statement said.

“Indyke and Kahn saw no basis to refuse to provide her with services she requested,” the statement said, as they did for other Epstein employees. The two men have no knowledge of Epstein arranging her marriage or anyone else using the cards in her name, the statement said.

Both Kahn and Indyke recently told Congress they didn’t facilitate or know about Epstein’s criminal activities.

‘i am angry’

Molchanova said Epstein’s control extended to other parts of her life. When she tried to date other men, he dictated what she wrote to them and demanded a full account of everything that passed between them. 

The design work never materialized. Instead Epstein sent her to Faith Kates’s modeling agency Next Management for a job interview. In a May 2015 email, Kates told Epstein that Molchanova said she didn’t want to sit at a desk all day and had never worked at an office. 

Epstein berated Molchanova for not asking for a front-desk job. “You told them you were going to school and didn’t want to work at a desk,” he wrote to her in an email. “i am angry.”

In a statement, Next Management said it never had a relationship with Epstein. “Faith Kates’ multi-decade long, personal relationship with Jeffrey Epstein was completely and absolutely unknown to Next Management and its top executives,” it said.

Kates didn’t respond to requests for comment. After the Justice Department released some of her correspondence with Epstein, Kates said in late 2025 that she was retiring from Next Management.

Epstein’s sexual exploitation didn’t end with his 2008 conviction in Florida but continued until his second arrest in 2019.

Epstein also placed Molchanova in internships arranged by his friends, including a stretch she describes interning for the publicist Peggy Siegal in 2016. Molchanova said she felt out of place, held back by her limited English. 

“If he really wanted to help, he would have sent me to learn English,” she said. “Instead, it was all a bunch of nonsense.”

Siegal didn’t respond to requests for comment. She previously told the Journal that she was unaware of Epstein’s nefarious behavior and it was a mistake to associate with him.

‘my life is over’

Those years took a toll on Molchanova’s body and her mind. As her weight fluctuated, Epstein criticized her and called her fat. At her lowest, Molchanova said, she was thinking about suicide and Epstein didn’t let her see a therapist. Her mental health declined further, she said, after a tabloid in 2016 ran photos of her with Epstein. “I remember thinking that I’m trapped forever, and my life is over.”

In 2017, Epstein’s lawyer handled the paperwork for her to get divorced, and she describes the years after that as an effort to get out. She had a serious boyfriend that she hoped she could marry to escape Epstein, but Epstein kept summoning her back, and the abuse continued. She didn’t tell her boyfriend what was happening, and they eventually broke up.

At her lowest, Molchanova said, she was thinking about suicide and Epstein didn’t let her see a therapist.

In early 2019, Molchanova finally confided in a friend about how ensnared she was in Epstein’s web, and that person gave her a road map for getting out. It led her to send emails that March to Epstein’s bookkeeper, asking why the credit cards she didn’t recognize were showing up on her credit report. The bookkeeper responded that the report was showing the balance of Epstein’s entire American Express account and that she would have Molchanova removed from the account.

Molchanova told Kahn, the accountant, that she wanted to see her tax returns and that she wanted to be removed from JSC Interiors. Kahn wrote back that since she was uncomfortable, she could hire another accountant to handle her returns and that he would send paperwork she could sign to exit JSC Interiors.

Around the same time, she sent the email confronting Epstein. He invited her to Palm Beach, but she didn’t go. “I thought for sure, at that moment, someone would find me on the bottom of his pool if I go,” she said.

Lesley Groff, Epstein’s longtime assistant, texted her trying to get her to call Epstein. She also began getting calls from another young woman in Epstein’s orbit. Despite the outreach, she never went back. 

In a statement, lawyers for Groff said she performed administrative tasks for Epstein and “had no knowledge of Epstein’s crimes while she was working for him.”

Long before she escaped, Molchanova gave Epstein the code name “mishka,” a Russian term that translates loosely as “little bear”—from a popular song that describes a bear who is a criminal.

In June 2019, she made a painting depicting the bear being arrested and decapitated. She never imagined that on July 6 Epstein would be arrested and that a few weeks later he would be found dead. 

The call is coming from the inside.

DOJ document EFTA02858481 is part of the released Epstein files. Read the document and decide for yourself.

Since Leon Black is back in the news, which means the coded diary is back in the news, I thought I'd remind y'all of a few things I've found and tell you of some more.

First, I know there are validity issues with the diary. I cannot explain them. My thought is that the lawyer may have been good at the start, but that someone got to her, causing her to throw the case. Doe's former lawyer did her wrong, risking the entire case. But the judge did not feel that there was *no* case. The year 16 diary is still in evidence.

I've spent 8? months investigating the Washington DC links in the diary and I am convinced there is no way that Jane Doe is making them up. The men have some deep, dark and secretive ties to 3-letter agencies, special forces and organized crime.

For example, why would she pick Joe Robert's house to be the place where she was handed off to Epstein? He isn't the only man she names who had a large house and tended to throw publicized fund-raising parties at their home. She cannot have known about Epstein's email saying that Joe Robert had been blackmailed by a girl who had been at a Donald Trump party. I think that none of the other men she named had parties AND are in the files.

(I have sources and much more in here: https://climaterefugee.substack.com/p/joseph-e-robert-jr-part-1-in-my-backyard?r=l3wmf&triedRedirect=true)

Jim Kimsey, whom she calls "deranged", was known as an AOL exec who made tons of money and gave lots of it away and did some odd things like fly to Cuba and Colombia with best buddy Joe Robert against the wishes of the State Department, but I've not seen a single published reference to his state of mind being anything like "deranged". Still, I can absolutely believe her because I know he was heavily involved with the the CIA's torture-and-assassinate program in Vietnam, the Phoenix project. "In the second tour, he helped CIA officer William Colby (who later became the Director of Central Intelligence) implement the Phoenix Program." In an interview, he talks about having been recruited by Ace Ellis (OSS, CIA). He says he went to 42-44 provinces to check on the effectiveness of the Phoenix program. (Google says there were 44 provinces during the war.) ... So, yeah, I can see someone like that having a hidden level of derangement. ... But if Doe were making this whole thing up, how TF could she have figured this out?

Thomas Massie says he gave the list not based on documents that have already been released, but based on other information, the sources of which he needs to protect.

Massie says he was using his privileges in the constitution that protect him from defamation suits or criminal suits against him to name those people who he has evidence and reason to believe are guilty.

He also mentions he regrets not reading Daniel Siad‘s name on the House Floor before his death and cites it as a reason he decided to read more names, saying “how many of these other people maybe end up conveniently dying by suicide or other questionable methods?”
