  • Bryan Kohberger And The Trash Pull Performed By The Authorities (9/6/25)
    As the state of Idaho continues to try and build their case against Bryan Kohberger, more questions are being asked about some of the evidence that has been collected thus far by the authorities and what the importance of that evidence might be when it comes time to present it to the jury.


    In this episode, we discuss the trash that the government searched through in Pennsylvania at Bryan Kohberger's parent's house and what they might have been looking for and what they might have found.

  • 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.

  • The U.S Versus El Mayo: The Vicente "Mayito" Zambada Indictment (Part 9) (9/6/25)
    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.
