A unos metros del estadio de Jalisco donde se jugará el Mundial, un grupo de madres buscadoras encontró cientos de bolsas con cadáveres desaparecidos por los cárteles. El gobierno intenta ocultarlo, pero el mundo debe saber lo que está pasando en México.

Mono-culture farming devastates the rest of nature. Farmlands continue to lose much of their wildlife, bees, birds, insects, amphibians. But each generation measures "normal" nature against what existed in their childhood; not what existed before. So we don't mourn the Auroch, Quagga, Eastern Elk, or drained wetland. We never knew them. We each inherit a slightly emptier world & call it normal, a shifting baseline syndrome. Humans are remarkably adaptive... dangerously so.

Y’all be ignoring that our ancestors actually weren’t just eating, laying around & having sex. They were deep into crafting, storytelling, creating languages, communing with spirit, etc. The issue is, some of you are so removed from carnal pleasure that all you want to do it that— whole time there is more to life than it, that’s why our ancestors had systems/connections to the ALL which we are just now beginning to understand.

Jeffrey Epstein’s Island Tunnels: DOJ Files Prove They’re Real, The Contractors Are Blacked Out, And The Evidence Is Vanishing Posted by lam – 12/03/2026 Thread 🪡 👇🏼 It is the first week of February 2026. A researcher sits at her desk, scrolling through the Department of Justice’s newly released Epstein Library — three and a half million pages of emails, contracts, photographs, and evidence logs, the largest single document release in the history of American federal law. She is not looking for anything in particular. She is just reading. Then she stops. The document carries a file ID: OJ-YMG-004512. The date stamps to August 2009. The language is blunt. Almost impatient. The kind of shorthand a man uses when he is accustomed to getting what he wants without having to explain himself. “I want the floor done in the wood tunnel. All the equipment moved out.” She reads it once. Then a second time. Then a third. A tunnel. Not a rumor. Not something whispered at cocktail parties. Not a conspiracy theory churned out by anonymous accounts online. A tunnel, named in an internal email, catalogued in an official federal file number, attached to a photograph of a heavy concrete trapdoor set into the floor of a maintenance building. The hinges caked with dust. The steel handle worn smooth with use. And beneath the photograph, a caption. Three words. Access point. Main tunnel. No context. No author. No date on the image. Just the photo, the label, and the cold weight of confirmation. By the time this researcher shares what she has found, investigators and journalists combing through the same document release have located 180 other mentions of the word “tunnel” across emails stretching from 2009 all the way to eight weeks before Epstein’s arrest in July 2019. One hundred and eighty-one separate references. A decade of correspondence — orders, confirmations, maintenance requests, renovation schedules, even casual social chatter — and every single name of every contractor who designed, built, modified, or maintained those underground structures is blacked out. Every. Single. Name. And as of this writing, the island above those tunnels is being demolished. The Island Nobody Was Supposed To Find Little St. James does not look like the kind of place where monsters live. From the air, it is 71.5 acres of emerald green rising from the Caribbean Sea, fringed with white sand and hammered daily by trade winds that smell like saltwater and hibiscus. It sits southeast of St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands — close enough to civilization that a fast boat can reach the main island in under thirty minutes, remote enough that no one on St. Thomas can see what happens there. Jeffrey Epstein purchased Little St. James in April 1998 through a shell company called LSJ, paying approximately $7.95 million. He was the sole member of the company. He was also, at that point, barely a name most people recognized. A financial manager with extraordinary connections and an even more extraordinary lifestyle. A man who flew on private jets, kept homes in Manhattan and Palm Beach, and had a habit of surrounding himself with powerful people who asked very few questions.​ From the moment he bought the island, Epstein began building. He built a main residence with multiple bedrooms and an industrial-sized kitchen. He built guest cottages scattered across the hillside. He built a helipad, because guests — and girls — needed to arrive somewhere. He built a massive underground cistern for fresh water, because the U.S. Virgin Islands has almost none. And sometime between August 2009 and February 2013, according to satellite imagery analyzed later by Google Earth, he built something else entirely.​ On the southwestern corner of the island, high on the bluff overlooking the sea, a distinctive building began to take shape. It was unlike anything else on Little St. James. Striped in blue and white, ornate in a way that felt deliberately theatrical, topped for a period with a gold dome that could be seen from passing boats. People called it the temple. They still do. Tourists photographed it from charter boats. Journalists wrote about it. Online investigators circulated hundreds of theories about its purpose. Meanwhile, Epstein’s legal team deflected every question. It was a music room, they said at various points. A gym. A private meditation space. But the building had a feature that no meditation room requires. The locking bar on the door is placed on the outside. The Door That Locks From The Wrong Side James Both, a Chicago-based contractor and engineer who examined publicly available photographs of the structure, was among the first to note the anomaly. When INSIDER consulted him in 2019, his analysis was careful but unmistakable. A standard interior lock bar — the kind you find on a barn, a storeroom, a security vault — is mounted on the inside. It keeps people out. The person on the inside controls it.​ The bar on Epstein’s blue-and-white temple is mounted on the outside. That means the person outside controls whether the person inside can leave. Both noted a second unusual feature: a smaller structure or entrance visible on satellite imagery at the bottom of a service path leading down from the main building. The path branches away from the main road and disappears into the hillside. When Both examined it, he acknowledged it could theoretically be a cistern or a caretaker’s shed. He was being cautious. He is an engineer, and engineers do not speculate beyond their data. But the DOJ files released in early 2026 contain something that moves this from speculation to documented fact. An email from an associate to Epstein’s staff references the architecture firm that had been engaged to build what the documents describe as a “subterranean screening room” beneath or near the main compound. The firm had been hired. Drawings had been prepared. And then — abruptly — the project was never completed. The firm cut ties with Epstein. Their name, in the released documents, is redacted. The exact date of their departure is redacted. The reason they walked away is redacted.​ What they were building below the ground of Little St. James is not. August 2009: The First Email The oldest documented reference to the tunnel surfaces in August 2009. Epstein receives a message from an aide describing architectural work being planned for the island. The message does not describe the tunnel as a new idea. It speaks of it as existing infrastructure — a reference to a previous “team that added tunnels and office below the main house.”​ A previous team. That phrase is important. It tells us that by August 2009, the tunnel was not under construction. It was already there. Someone had already dug beneath the main residence and built a subterranean network. Someone had already done the concrete work, the ventilation, the access points. That team of builders — whoever they are — does not appear anywhere in the released files with their names intact. They have been blacked out from the very first document that acknowledges their work. What does the email request? More work. Continued construction. Specifically, the renovation of what is described, in Epstein’s own words, as the “wood tunnel.” He wants the floor done. He wants the equipment moved out. He is specific and businesslike, the way he is in every email across his two decades of documented correspondence. Jeffrey Epstein was many terrible things. Disorganized was not one of them. The email is labeled DOJ file OJ-YMG-004512. It carries his name. His voice is unmistakable. And it is now part of the public record of the United States government. The Island As A Machine To understand what the tunnel meant, you have to understand how Little St. James functioned as a place. It was not a vacation home. It was not a retreat. It was a controlled environment — an island-sized machine engineered to keep people inside and keep information outside. Access was impossible without Epstein’s permission. No commercial boats ran to the island. No ferry. No water taxi. If you were on Little St. James and you wanted to leave, you needed one of two things: a helicopter from Hyperion Air, the charter company Epstein used to shuttle guests and girls from the private airstrip at St. Thomas, or a boat from his personal fleet. That is it. Those are your options.​ One fifteen-year-old victim, documented in court filings, attempted to escape by swimming. She made it into the water. She did not make it to another island. Another victim, who spoke to CBS News anonymously, described being trapped in Epstein’s bedroom with a gun strapped to the bedpost. She said, simply: “The only means of getting off the island was either helicopter or boat.” She said it the way people say things that still do not feel real years later.​ The isolation was total. Deliberate. It was the entire point. So when Jeffrey Epstein emails an aide about the “wood tunnel” and demands the floor be completed, he is not describing a minor construction project. He is maintaining a piece of infrastructure on an island that functions as a self-contained criminal operation. And the tunnel — whatever else it was — was part of how that island worked. Six Years Of Construction, Six Years Of Silence Between 2009 and 2015, the emails go quiet on the subject of the tunnel. Or rather, whatever emails existed during those years have either been redacted beyond readability or were not captured in the current release. This matters, because in April 2015, an aide sends Epstein a message that treats the tunnel as a finished project — or at least a significantly advanced one. Three words: “Tunnel floor completed.”​ This is not the language of beginning something. This is the language of finishing something. Whatever had been started in 2009 — or before — reached a milestone in April 2015. The floor is done. The crew can be pulled. The concrete has cured. A few months later, in the summer of 2015, another email arrives. The subject line reads “tunnel/maint.” Inside, an aide tells Epstein he is being sent something specific: floor plans of the existing “tunnel building and maintenance building with square footages.”​ Floor plans. Square footage calculations. Formal architectural documentation of a subterranean structure on a private island that, for six years, no one outside Epstein’s inner circle knew existed. These documents were prepared. They were sent. They were received. And then, for the next four years, Epstein and his staff continued to reference the tunnel in internal correspondence with the casualness of people discussing a storage closet. Which is exactly what, officially, they said it was.

💥 @LBRUT You KNEW. Back in 1982, police raided Elm Guest House in Barnes. Boys were being trafficked there from your Grafton Close children’s home in Hounslow. In September 1983, your own social worker John Stingemore was convicted of sexually abusing a 14-year-old boy inside Grafton Close — a home run by you. Yet children kept being sent there. Abuse continued into 1984 and beyond. You could have stopped it. You didn’t. Former Assistant Director of Children’s Services Terry Earland has said publicly: He regularly briefed Jenny Tonge (then Chair of Social Services) on child abuse problems in your homes. He told Director of Social Services Louis Minster about the sexual abuse linked to Elm Guest House in 1982. Minster later denied full knowledge. Earland says otherwise. The records and convictions don’t lie. Grafton Close stayed open. More vulnerable kids walked through the doors. More lives shattered. This wasn’t “unknown”. This was known — and ignored. @LBRUT where is the full transparency? Where is the accountability for every child placed after 1983? Survivors are still speaking. The evidence is public. They knew. They failed. They could have stopped it. #GraftonClose #RichmondAbuseScandal #ProtectTheKids
