According to Ghislaine Maxwell's brother Ian, she is upbeat and ready to go when it comes to her appeal hearing that is scheduled to take place next Tuesday. He says that she has been preparing for the hearing by digging into case files and relaxing by taking part in the half marathons that the facility sponsors for the inmates.

Her lawyer, Arthur Aidala said that the two major points of her appeal rest on the testimony given by Juror 50 aka Scotty David and the fact that he allegedly lied during the questioning session with the lawyers and the second point of attack will be the non prosecution agreement that supposedly shielded Maxwell from any sort of legal ramifications down the line.


In this episode, we take a look at Maxwell's strategy and how it all might play out next week.

How Ecudaor plays an ever growing role in the narco trafficking game:

1. Drug Transit Route: Ecuador has become a significant transit route for drug trafficking organizations moving narcotics, primarily cocaine, from production countries in South America, such as Colombia and Peru, to international markets, mainly in the United States and Europe. The country's geographical location, with a long coastline and proximity to major drug-producing nations, makes it attractive for drug traffickers.
2. Cocaine Production: While Ecuador is not a major cocaine-producing country, there were reports of clandestine laboratories operating within its borders for processing cocaine. This indicates that drug traffickers were attempting to expand their operations within Ecuador.
3. Money Laundering: The influx of drug money into Ecuador has raised concerns about money laundering. Criminal organizations often invest in legitimate businesses to legitimize their illicit proceeds. The government has been working to strengthen anti-money laundering efforts to combat this issue.
4. Corruption: Corruption within law enforcement agencies and government institutions has been a challenge in the fight against narcotrafficking. Some officials have been implicated in aiding drug traffickers or turning a blind eye to their activities.
5. Violence and Crime: The presence of drug trafficking organizations can lead to an increase in violence and organized crime in certain areas. This can have a detrimental impact on the safety and security of local communities.
6. International Cooperation: Ecuador has been cooperating with international organizations and neighboring countries to combat narcotrafficking. This includes working with the United States, Colombia, and other nations to share intelligence and conduct joint operations.
7. Legal Reforms: Ecuador has made efforts to strengthen its legal framework to combat drug trafficking. This includes enacting laws to seize assets related to drug crimes and increasing penalties for drug-related offenses.
8. Alternative Development: Some regions in Ecuador have been affected by drug cultivation due to economic reasons. The government has initiated alternative development programs to provide farmers with legal and sustainable alternatives to illicit crop cultivation.

Super Tuesday is a significant event in American politics that typically occurs during the presidential primary season. It usually takes place in early March of a presidential election year. Super Tuesday is important because it involves a large number of states holding their primary elections or caucuses on the same day, making it a crucial milestone in the process of selecting each party's presidential nominee.


The term "Super Tuesday" was first coined during the 1980 presidential election cycle, when several Southern states decided to hold their primaries on the same day to increase their influence in the nomination process. Since then, Super Tuesday has evolved into a key date on the primary calendar, often determining the frontrunners for each party.


During Super Tuesday, voters in multiple states, typically representing diverse regions and demographics, cast their ballots for the candidates of their choice. The states participating in Super Tuesday vary from one election cycle to another, but they usually include populous states like California, Texas, and Florida, along with others from different regions across the country.

The significance of Super Tuesday lies in its ability to allocate a large number of delegates to the candidates. Delegates are individuals chosen to represent their state at the national party conventions, where the presidential nominee is officially selected. The more delegates a candidate accumulates through primary victories, the closer they get to securing their party's nomination.

Candidates who perform well on Super Tuesday often gain momentum and solidify their status as frontrunners in the race for the nomination. Conversely, poor performances can lead to candidates dropping out of the race due to lack of support or funding.

Overall, Super Tuesday serves as a pivotal moment in the presidential primary process, shaping the trajectory of the campaign and significantly influencing the outcome of the nominating contests for both major political parties in the United States.


As the madness of election season fully engulfs the nation, we are taking a look at some of the closer House races on Super Tuesday and what it might tell us about the upcoming election cycle.

The Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) is one of Mexico's most powerful and violent drug trafficking organizations. Founded in the 2010s, it emerged as a splinter group of the Milenio Cartel and has since become a dominant force in Mexico's criminal landscape. Led by Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, also known as "El Mencho," the CJNG is notorious for its ruthless tactics, including mass killings, beheadings, and the use of military-grade weaponry.

The cartel is based in Jalisco but operates throughout Mexico and internationally, with a significant presence in the United States, Europe, and South America. It traffics various drugs, including methamphetamine, cocaine, heroin, and fentanyl, and has diversified its criminal activities to include extortion, kidnapping, and fuel theft.

The CJNG has engaged in deadly turf wars with rival cartels, notably the Sinaloa Cartel and Los Zetas, resulting in widespread violence and instability in regions where they operate. They have also targeted Mexican law enforcement and government officials, carrying out brazen attacks on police and military personnel.

Despite facing pressure from Mexican authorities and the U.S. government, the CJNG has proven resilient and continues to expand its operations. Its sophisticated network, vast financial resources, and willingness to use extreme violence make it a formidable adversary for law enforcement agencies in Mexico and abroad.















Now, in 2024, the expansion plan for CJNG has accelerated and along with the expansion comes even more violence.


Let's dive in!

The theory that COVID-19 was created in a lab suggests that the virus responsible for the global pandemic, SARS-CoV-2, may have originated from a laboratory rather than through natural means such as animal-to-human transmission. Proponents of this theory point to various factors, including the proximity of the Wuhan Institute of Virology to the initial outbreak in Wuhan, China, as well as the fact that the institute was known to be conducting research on coronaviruses, including studies involving gain-of-function research.

As the dust continues to settle around Covid-19 and it's origins, many experts suspect that the virus was created in a lab and unwillingly released due to an accident, while others contend that a Pangolin from a wet market is the culprit that unleashed the pandemic upon us.


In this episode, we take a look at the new evidence proposed by the experts and see what they have to say about the origins of Covid-19.

Ovidio Guzmán López is the son of Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán, one of the most infamous drug lords in Mexican history and former leader of the Sinaloa Cartel. Ovidio was born in the late 1980s or early 1990s and grew up within the world of organized crime, inheriting his father's legacy and becoming involved in the operations of the Sinaloa Cartel.

Despite his young age, Ovidio quickly rose through the ranks of the cartel, reportedly becoming one of its key leaders. He was allegedly involved in various aspects of the cartel's operations, including drug trafficking, money laundering, and orchestrating acts of violence to protect the cartel's interests.

On January 5th of 2023, he was arrested by mexican authorities and shortly after he was arrested, he was extradited to the United States, where he is now facing serious time for his alleged role in the Sinaloa Cartel and their operations inside of the United States.

Aliens, in the context of extraterrestrial life, have captivated human imagination for centuries. While conclusive proof of their existence has yet to be obtained, there are several compelling reasons to believe that aliens are real. Here is a summary of the key points supporting this notion:

1. Vastness of the universe: The universe is unimaginably vast, with billions of galaxies, each containing billions of stars. It is statistically improbable that Earth is the only planet to harbor life among this vast cosmic expanse. The sheer number of potentially habitable planets suggests that the existence of alien life is highly plausible.
2. Exoplanet discoveries: In recent years, astronomers have made significant strides in discovering exoplanets—planets orbiting stars outside our solar system. Many of these exoplanets lie within the habitable zone, where conditions for liquid water and life as we know it are possible. The discovery of such planets further strengthens the case for potential extraterrestrial life.
3. Extremophiles on Earth: Life on Earth has proven to be remarkably adaptable, with organisms known as extremophiles thriving in extreme environments previously thought to be inhospitable. These extremophiles, found in places like deep-sea hydrothermal vents and acidic hot springs, demonstrate that life can survive under harsh conditions. If life can endure such extremes on Earth, it raises the possibility of similar life forms existing elsewhere in the universe.
4. UFO sightings and encounters: Throughout history, there have been numerous reports of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) and encounters with alleged extraterrestrial beings. While many UFO sightings can be attributed to misinterpretations or hoaxes, some incidents remain unexplained, suggesting the presence of unidentified aerial phenomena. These encounters, coupled with credible testimonies from military personnel and pilots, provide intriguing evidence that something unexplained is happening.
5. Astronomical anomalies: There have been instances where unexplained astronomical phenomena have been observed, such as unidentified signals from deep space known as fast radio bursts (FRBs) and unexplained fluctuations in starlight known as Tabby's Star. These anomalies raise questions about their origins and have led scientists to consider the possibility of extraterrestrial intelligence being involved.
6. The Fermi Paradox: The Fermi Paradox poses the question: If there are numerous potentially habitable planets in the universe, why haven't we encountered any extraterrestrial civilizations? This paradox suggests that there may be factors at play that we are yet to understand. One possible explanation is that intelligent alien life exists but remains beyond our current technological capabilities to detect or communicate with.

While these points offer compelling reasons to believe in the existence of aliens, it is important to approach the subject with scientific skepticism and an open mind. Further exploration, technological advancements, and scientific discoveries may eventually provide definitive answers to the question of extraterrestrial life.

Now, with stunning new claims being brought by what is being called the most credible whistleblower in the sphere of UFO's to ever come forward is making shocking claims about Aliens and the technology that humans have reversed engineered from crash sites for decades.

In this episode we are headed back to April of 22 when I was first discussing shrinkflation and the madness to come...




As inflation continues to spiral out of control and prices on basic products continue to rise, the corporations in charge of providing these products have taken to a new tactic to fleece you: Shrinkflation.

In this episode, we take a dive into the shrinkflation issue and how these corporations are using it to manipulate consumers.

Inflation refers to the general increase in prices of goods and services in an economy over time, leading to a decrease in the purchasing power of money. When inflation occurs, each unit of currency buys fewer goods and services than it did before. This phenomenon can have a significant impact on the prices of groceries and affect people differently depending on their financial situation.Here's how inflation leads to an increase in the price of groceries:

1. Cost-push inflation: Inflation can be caused by an increase in the cost of production. When the cost of raw materials, labor, or other inputs required for producing groceries rises, producers often pass these increased costs on to consumers by raising the prices of their products. For example, if the cost of wheat, a key ingredient in bread, increases due to inflation, bakeries may raise the price of bread to maintain their profit margins.
2. Demand-pull inflation: Inflation can also result from increased demand for goods and services relative to supply. When demand for groceries exceeds the available supply, sellers may increase prices to capitalize on the situation. This can happen if there is a surge in consumer spending due to factors like economic growth, increased consumer confidence, or expansionary monetary policies.
3. Monetary policy: Central banks often use monetary policy tools like interest rates to control inflation. When central banks lower interest rates to stimulate borrowing and spending, it can lead to an increase in the money supply and demand for goods and services, which can contribute to inflationary pressures. Additionally, excessive money printing by the government can also lead to inflation by devaluing the currency.

Now, let's explore how inflation impacts people differently depending on their financial situation:

1. Fixed-income earners: Individuals on fixed incomes, such as retirees living off pensions or fixed annuities, may find it challenging to cope with inflation. As the cost of groceries and other essential goods rises, their purchasing power diminishes since their incomes remain constant. This can lead to a lower standard of living and financial strain for these individuals.
2. Low-income households: People with lower incomes often spend a larger proportion of their earnings on necessities like groceries. As the prices of these essential goods increase due to inflation, low-income households may face difficulties in affording an adequate diet or may need to allocate more of their budget to food, leaving less for other expenses like housing or healthcare.
3. Savers: Individuals who rely on saving money in bank accounts or other low-risk investments may see the real value of their savings eroded by inflation. If the rate of inflation exceeds the interest rate earned on savings, the purchasing power of their savings decreases over time. This can be particularly detrimental for individuals saving for long-term goals like retirement or education.
4. High-income earners and investors: While inflation generally erodes the purchasing power of money, high-income earners and investors who hold assets like stocks, real estate, or commodities may benefit from inflation. These assets often appreciate in value during inflationary periods, providing a hedge against rising prices and potentially increasing wealth for those who hold them.

In summary, inflation can lead to an increase in the price of groceries through various channels, affecting people differently depending on their financial situation. While some individuals may struggle to afford necessities as their purchasing power diminishes, others may benefit from inflation through investments or asset appreciation. It underscores the importance of understanding and managing the impact of inflation on personal finances and economic policy.

Vicente Zambada Niebla, also known as "El Vicentillo," is a prominent figure in Mexican organized crime, specifically associated with the Sinaloa Cartel. Born on February 14, 1975, in Culiacán, Sinaloa, Mexico, he is the son of Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada García, one of the top leaders of the Sinaloa Cartel. Vicente Zambada rose through the ranks within the cartel and became one of its key operatives.

Zambada was implicated in various drug trafficking activities, including coordinating the transportation and distribution of narcotics, primarily cocaine and marijuana, into the United States. His role within the cartel involved managing logistics, negotiating with other criminal organizations, and overseeing drug shipments.

In February 2009, Vicente Zambada was arrested by Mexican authorities in Mexico City. His arrest was a significant blow to the Sinaloa Cartel, as he was considered one of its highest-ranking members at the time. Zambada's capture highlighted the ongoing efforts by law enforcement to dismantle the cartel's leadership structure.

During his trial in the United States, Zambada provided extensive testimony against other members of the Sinaloa Cartel, including his own father, Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada García, as well as Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán, the infamous former leader of the cartel. His cooperation with U.S. authorities led to the conviction of numerous cartel members and provided valuable insights into the inner workings of the organization.

Throughout the trial, Zambada's testimony shed light on the violence, corruption, and vast network of drug trafficking that characterized the Sinaloa Cartel's operations. His insights were crucial in building cases against other cartel leaders and dismantling key aspects of their criminal enterprise.

One notable quote from Vicente Zambada during his trial emphasized the pervasive influence of the cartel: "The organization has more power than the government because the government itself is corrupt." This statement underscores the extent to which organized crime has infiltrated various institutions in Mexico.

In October 2019, Vicente Zambada was sentenced to 15 years in prison by a U.S. federal court for his involvement in drug trafficking. Despite his cooperation with authorities, Zambada still faced significant legal consequences for his criminal activities.

Then in 2023, that cooperation with the United States Government came to an end after a visit from a known Sinaloan sponsored lawyer.


In this episode, we begin our exploration of the case brought by the United States of America against Vicente Zambada and what has transpired since.

Then in 2023, that cooperation with the United States Government came to an end after a visit from a known Sinaloan sponsored lawyer.


In this episode, we begin our exploration of the case brought by the United States of America against Vicente Zambada and what has transpired since.

The Sinaloa Cartel, one of Mexico's most powerful and notorious drug trafficking organizations, has gained international notoriety for its extensive reach and influence. Here's a summary of its background, operations, and global reach:1. Background:

• The Sinaloa Cartel is named after the state of Sinaloa in Mexico, where it originated.
• Founded in the late 1980s, it was initially led by Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán and has since been associated with other prominent figures like Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada.
• Known for its ruthlessness, the cartel has been involved in various illegal activities, primarily drug trafficking but also extortion, money laundering, and violence.

2. Drug Trafficking Operations:

• The Sinaloa Cartel is a major player in the global drug trade, primarily trafficking cocaine, marijuana, methamphetamine, and heroin.
• It controls key drug trafficking routes from South America, particularly Colombia, through Central America and into the United States, utilizing sophisticated smuggling techniques such as tunnels, submarines, and hidden compartments in vehicles.
• The cartel has also expanded its operations to Europe, Asia, and other regions, exploiting global demand for illicit drugs.

3. Global Reach:

• The Sinaloa Cartel has established a significant presence beyond Mexico, with operations and networks spanning multiple continents.
• In the United States, it has been particularly influential, controlling a significant portion of the drug trade and maintaining distribution networks in major cities across the country.
• In Europe, the cartel has been involved in drug trafficking activities, with connections to organized crime groups and distribution networks in countries such as Spain, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom.
• It has also expanded its reach into regions like Asia, where it has been implicated in drug trafficking activities in countries such as China and the Philippines.
• The Sinaloa Cartel's global reach has been facilitated by its ability to forge alliances with other criminal organizations, corrupt officials, and facilitators worldwide.

4. Law Enforcement Efforts:

• Law enforcement agencies in Mexico, the United States, and other countries have made concerted efforts to combat the Sinaloa Cartel and dismantle its operations.
• High-profile arrests, including that of El Chapo Guzmán, have dealt significant blows to the cartel's leadership, but it has demonstrated resilience and adaptability, with other leaders stepping in to maintain its operations.
• International cooperation and intelligence sharing have been crucial in targeting the cartel's global networks and disrupting its activities.

5. Impact and Challenges:

• The Sinaloa Cartel's activities have had far-reaching consequences, including fueling violence, corruption, and instability in the regions where it operates.
• Efforts to combat the cartel have been hindered by factors such as corruption, limited resources, and the complex nature of transnational organized crime.
• Addressing the root causes of drug demand, improving law enforcement cooperation, and strengthening institutional capacities are among the key challenges in combating the influence of cartels like Sinaloa.

The Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) is one of the most powerful and violent drug trafficking organizations in Mexico. Formed in 2010, it originated as an offshoot of the Milenio Cartel and quickly rose to prominence due to its ruthlessness and strategic expansion tactics. Led by Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, also known as "El Mencho," CJNG has gained notoriety for its involvement in drug trafficking, extortion, kidnapping, and other criminal activities.

CJNG has a sophisticated operational structure, with a hierarchical leadership that oversees various aspects of its illicit activities, including drug production, transportation, and distribution. The cartel primarily traffics cocaine, methamphetamine, and fentanyl, with routes extending from South America through Mexico and into the United States.

In America, CJNG has established a significant presence, particularly in regions with high drug demand and distribution networks. The cartel's operations in the United States include drug trafficking, money laundering, and violence to maintain control over its territories and enforce its dominance in the drug trade.

To facilitate its operations in the U.S., CJNG relies on a complex network of distributors, smugglers, and associates who help transport drugs across the border and distribute them to various markets. The cartel also engages in alliances and conflicts with other criminal organizations, including rival cartels and street gangs, to protect its interests and expand its influence.


CJNG's presence in America has led to concerns among law enforcement agencies and policymakers due to its involvement in drug-related violence, corruption, and the proliferation of deadly drugs like fentanyl. Efforts to combat the cartel's activities involve collaboration between U.S. and Mexican authorities, including intelligence sharing, law enforcement operations, and targeting the cartel's financial infrastructure.


Despite these efforts, CJNG continues to pose a significant threat to both Mexico and the United States, demonstrating its resilience and adaptability in the face of law enforcement pressure. The cartel's ability to generate enormous profits from the drug trade enables it to sustain its operations and evade capture, making it a formidable adversary in the ongoing fight against organized crime.
