Power Elites

Media Focus On Epstein’s Powerful Friends Erases Their Victims

February 25, 2026 Raina Lipsitz, Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting. , , ,
Much has been written about sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, whose numerous social and business ties to members of the global elite are still being untangled. Epstein appears to have died by suicide in 2019 while awaiting trial on federal sex-trafficking charges; his longtime companion Ghislaine Maxwell is serving a 20-year prison sentence after being convicted on five counts of helping Epstein abuse girls below the age of consent. According to the US Justice Department, Epstein sexually abused more than 1,200 women and girls. According to court and police records and reports, he lured minor girls to his Palm Beach mansion for nude massages, oral sex and intercourse.

How Israel Controls The West

February 14, 2026 Margaret Kimberley, Black Agenda Report. , , , ,
Perhaps we should be grateful that Senator Schumer grudgingly acknowledged that he has some responsibilities other than giving public money to Israel. Although it must be said that he and his colleagues display no such level of seriousness about acting on behalf of the people of this country. They are far more interested in carrying water for oligarchs and collaborating with the people they claim to oppose.  His recent remarks were actually rather tame when one considers the reach of zionist influence around the world, especially in the “collective west” of Europe, Canada, Australia, and the United States.

Epstein Files Shows How The Elites Move

February 8, 2026 Margaret Kimberley, Black Agenda Report. , , ,
The late Jeffrey Epstein was the subject of news for many years before his 2019 death and is still a newsmaker today owing to his years long relation with Donald Trump who is now in his second term in the presidency. The multi-millionaire financier had a tangled web of financial and political relationships with powerful people all over the world. Perhaps he was best known for the sex trafficking he used to compromise powerful people, but it seems that this activity, which is commonly known, was as it were, his side hustle.

Chris Hedges: Trump, Epstein And The Deep State

July 13, 2025 Chris Hedges, Scheer Post. , , ,
The refusal by the Trump administration to release the files and videos amassed during investigations into the activities of the pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, should put to rest the absurd idea, embraced by Trump supporters and gullible liberals, that Trump will dismantle the Deep State. Trump is part of, and has long been part of, the repugnant cabal of politicians – Democrat and Republican – billionaires and celebrities who look at us, and often underage girls and boys, as commodities to exploit for profit or pleasure. The list of those who were in Epstein’s orbit is a who’s who of the rich and famous. They include not only Trump, but Bill Clinton, who allegedly took a trip to Thailand with Epstein, Prince Andrew, Bill Gates, hedge fund billionaire Glenn Dubin, former New Mexico governor Bill Richardson, former Secretary of the Treasury and former president of Harvard University Larry Summers, cognitive psychologist and author Stephen Pinker, Alan Dershowitz, billionaire and Victoria’s Secret CEO Leslie Wexner, the former Barclays banker Jes Staley, former Israeli prime minister Ehud Barak, the magician David Copperfield, actor Kevin Spacey, former CIA director Bill Burns, real estate mogul Mort Zuckerman, former Maine senator George Mitchell and disgraced Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein, who reveled in Epstein’s perpetual Bacchanalia.

Defeat The War Against The African/Black People In The US And Abroad

June 6, 2020 Ajamu Baraka, Black Agenda Report. , , ,
The ruling class is befuddled and confused about how to respond to the ongoing street demonstrations sparked by the murder of George Floyd. The mobilizations clearly disrupted their plans for “normalcy” with the forced opening of the economy. The ferocity of the demonstrations that had not been seen since the brief uprising in 92 in response to the Rodney King verdict seems to have caught the authorities completely by surprise.  In the 1992 street actions in Los Angeles the nation and the world saw the first multi-racial, multi-national street action that was very different from the Black rebellions that rocked the U.S. in the 1960s. The racial configuration of the participants captured the range of non-European national minority communities and migrant peoples from across the Americas’ region. 

Ever Wonder Who “They” Are? We Name Names And Explain How The Global Elites Operate

October 8, 2018 Margaret Flowers and Kevin Zeese, Clearing the FOG. , ,
In 2017, eight men controlled half of the world's wealth and 70% of the world controls 5% of the wealth. Global elites, the 1%, are consolidating their fortunes without regard for the remaining 99% or the welfare of the planet. It is important to understand how this small number of people control the world and who they are so that we know what we're up against and whom to hold accountable. We speak with Peter Phillips, author of "Giants: The Global Power Elite," about his decades of work tracking the power holders and what we do to create a more just and sustainable world.

Meet The 1%: “Giants: The Global Power Elite”

August 26, 2018 Marc Eliot Stein, World Beyond War. , , ,
Peter Phillips, professor of Political Sociology at Sonoma State University and media researcher for Project Censored and Media Freedom Foundation, presented a summary of his groundbreaking new book “Giants: The Global Power Elite” last week at Fordham University’s campus in Manhattan. This was an information-packed session that explained the unique purpose of this new book: exposing to public view the private workings of the influential investment partnerships, global councils, think tanks, consortiums and other non-governmental organizations that...
