  • DOJ Deputy Chief Joseph Schnitt And The Art Of The Coverup (9/7/25)
    Joseph Schnitt, a Department of Justice official, was recently caught in a sting operation by a James O’Keefe operative posing as a date on a dating app. During the secretly recorded meeting, Schnitt claimed the DOJ planned to redact Republican names from the Jeffrey Epstein files while leaving liberal names visible, fueling suspicions of political bias in the release of the documents. He also alleged that Ghislaine Maxwell’s transfer to a minimum-security prison was essentially a favor to keep her quiet, and described internal conflict between Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino over whether to release the files.


    After the footage surfaced, the DOJ quickly distanced itself from Schnitt’s comments, calling them “personal views based on media reports” with “absolutely zero bearing on reality.” Schnitt himself insisted he didn’t know he was being recorded and that he was speaking offhand, not offering insider information. Still, the incident embarrassed the DOJ, provided fresh fuel for critics of the Epstein cover-up, and underscored just how easily an official could spill sensitive claims in an unguarded moment.

  • El Chapo Is Not A Big Fan Of His Tax Payer Provided Accommodations (9/7/25)
    Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán has long complained about the conditions of his incarceration at ADX Florence, the Colorado “Supermax” facility known as the most secure prison in the United States. His lawyers have argued in filings that he is subjected to conditions amounting to cruel and unusual punishment: prolonged isolation, limited human interaction, and almost no exposure to natural light. Reports indicate he suffers from insomnia, hypertension, hallucinations, memory loss, and cognitive decline, all of which they say stem from the extreme restrictions and psychological pressure of solitary confinement. Guzmán himself has described the treatment as inhumane and likened it to psychological torture.

    Beyond the physical toll, El Chapo has raised concerns about his restricted family access and basic rights. He is allowed only two 15-minute calls a month, often delayed or monitored, and has claimed that he hasn’t spoken to his daughters for long stretches. His mail is heavily censored, his food and medical care are reportedly substandard, and visits are rare. These conditions, according to his statements and legal complaints, represent not just punishment but an intentional attempt to break him mentally and emotionally. His appeals for relief—whether for increased contact with family or improved treatment—have consistently been rejected by U.S. courts.

  • El Chapo Drops Some Truth About Who Really Runs The Narco Game (9/7/25)
    Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán has long insisted that the drug trade is far bigger than any one man, including himself. In interviews and court testimony, he downplayed his personal role, saying the business would continue unchanged with or without him. He described the narcotics game as a global enterprise—an industry built on demand, corruption, and networks that reach far beyond cartel leaders. His view was that removing him from the picture wouldn’t stop anything, because the machinery of the trade runs on deep systemic forces rather than one figurehead.


    This perspective reflects a reality analysts often point out: the cartels are resilient, decentralized, and structured to survive leadership changes. The money, power, and connections driving the trade extend into politics, finance, and law enforcement, ensuring that the flow continues even when a kingpin falls. By his own words, El Chapo reinforced the idea that the drug trade is not controlled by a single person at the top, but by a sprawling system that adapts, evolves, and keeps moving regardless of who’s in charge.

  • Members of The Mexican Mafia Leadership Structure Indicted For RICO (9/6/25)
    The Mexican Mafia, or La Eme, are the undisputed kings of the California prison system. With the most soldiers and the most influence, there is little doubt as to who holds the keys to the yard. The BOP is keenly aware of this as well and in hopes of breaking that power structure, they plan to ship some inmates who are caught up in this RICO case and who are in leadership positions within the organization to federal prisons outside of the state in hopes of stifling their influence. Will it work?

  • Profile Of Evil: Roy DeMeo (9/6/25)
    Roy Albert DeMeo (born September 7, 1940, in Brooklyn) was a feared American mobster who led the so-called "DeMeo crew," a ruthless cell within the Gambino crime family in New York City. Originally involved in loansharking and car theft, DeMeo formed a highly organized and violent group of around twenty associates who engaged in murder, drug trafficking, theft, pornography, and prostitution. They became infamous for their grotesque “Gemini Method”—a highly methodical process of executing and dismembering victims in the back room of the Gemini Lounge, wrapping body parts in bags, and dumping them in remote locations, leaving little trace behind. The crew is associated with up to 200 murders, many carried out by DeMeo himself.


    By the early 1980s, DeMeo’s violent methods and the massive number of killings had attracted intense law enforcement scrutiny—and turned him into a liability for the Gambino leadership. In January 1983, amid escalating investigations, Gambino boss Paul Castellano reportedly ordered DeMeo’s execution. He was lured to a meeting in Canarsie, Brooklyn, and was fatally shot—allegedly by members of his own crew, Joseph Testa and Anthony Senter—at the behest of Castellano and organized by Frank DeCicco. DeMeo’s bullet-ridden body was found days later in the trunk of his Cadillac, frozen in a parking lot.

  • Enrique "Boxer" Enriquez And The Mexican Mafia (9/6/25)
    Rene “Boxer” Enriquez (born July 7, 1962, in Artesia, California) was once one of the most feared members of the Mexican Mafia, or La Eme. Raised in a violent environment, he joined the Artesia 13 street gang and quickly rose in rank, eventually being inducted into the Mexican Mafia while in prison. As a made member, Enriquez carried out vicious assaults and murders, both inside and outside prison walls. Notably, he orchestrated the killing of fellow member David Gallegos and participated in a brutal stabbing of Salvador “Mon” Buenrostro, a high-ranking member, in a jail interview room. His reign of violence and leadership cemented his reputation as a ruthless enforcer and strategist for the gang.

    In 2003, Enriquez shocked law enforcement and gang circles by defecting from La Eme and becoming a government informant. He provided extensive testimony against the Mexican Mafia, lectured law enforcement agencies, and even served as an expert witness on organized crime. Despite multiple parole recommendations, California governors repeatedly blocked his release, citing public safety concerns. However, in July 2022, Enriquez was finally granted parole after decades behind bars, marking the fall of a notorious gangster who turned into one of the most high-profile defectors in U.S. organized crime history.

  • Juliette Bryant Describes Her Abuse In An Interview For The House Of Maxwell Documentary (9/6/25)
    Juliette Bryant, a South African model, asserts that Epstein began targeting her in 2002 when she was just 20 years old, under the guise of launching her modeling career after being introduced to him by an industry contact. She claims that Epstein trafficked her across multiple locations—New York, the U.S. Virgin Islands (including Little Saint James), Paris, and his New Mexico properties—where she was subjected to repeated sexual abuse, at times reportedly up to three times per day. Bryant describes being trapped in confined, fear-inducing environments, isolated on the island, coerced into nude photo sessions, and psychologically manipulated through emotional control and explicit threats—all with the assistance of Ghislaine Maxwell

    Additionally, Bryant has publicly stated that her name was omitted from Jeffrey Epstein’s flight logs, despite her presence on his private planes. She contends that this intentional exclusion served to erase her presence from official records and obscure her trafficking, effectively leaving her disappearance unnoticed if she had gone missing.

  • Cartel Violence Comes To Portland (9/6/25)
    We often think of Cartel violence to be strictly something that occurs in Mexico but that is not the case. There are many, many examples of cartel violence spilling over into America and in today's episode we see it once again. This time though, in Portland where a high-ranking street dealer with ties to the cartel organized the kidnapping and then execution of one of the dealers who worked with him.
