Another Russian shadow fleet tanker intercepted. AQUILA II (9281152) is one of the tankers that departed on the morning Maduro was renditioned (Jan 3, 2026). Her zombie alias at the time was "CAPE BALDER". This vid clip is near identical to what I did in the Arabian Sea, Gulf of Oman, Gulf of Aden, and Persian Gulf back in the 90s.

U.S. Seizes Shadow Fleet Tanker Aquila II in Indian Ocean After 10,000-Mile Pursuit

The crude tanker Aquila II (IMO 9281152) was designated by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control on January 10, 2025, as blocked property linked to Russia’s energy sector. Treasury identified the vessel as owned by Sunne Co Limited, a company sanctioned under Executive Order 14024.

The seizure of Aquila II is the latest in a growing series of U.S. interdictions targeting sanctioned tankers. It follows the January 20 capture of the Sagitta, another Sunne-linked vessel apprehended in the Caribbean.

In total, U.S. forces have seized eight tankers in recent weeks as enforcement efforts intensify. Earlier actions included the Veronica on January 15, the Olina on January 9, the M Sophia and Marinera on January 7, and the Skipper and Centuries in December.

Royal Thai Navy moves to salvage SEALLOYD ARC after cargo ship sinks off Phuket

Vice Admiral Weerudom Muangjeen, Commander of the Third Naval Area Command, said the Royal Thai Navy is working with relevant agencies on plans to salvage the cargo ship SEALLOYD ARC, which sank off the coast of Phuket.

The incident occurred on February 7, when the Panama-flagged vessel, travelling from Malaysia to Bangladesh, capsized in waters off the west of Ko Kaeo Yai, near Promthep Cape. More than 200 containers were reported to have scattered across the sea, and an oil leak was detected, raising concerns about potential impacts on the marine and coastal environment.

Two Venezuela-Linked Tankers Detained in Dutch Caribbean Islands. The Caribbean MOU on Port State Control (CMOU) reports that the small tankers Morning Sun and Regina have been detained in Dutch-affiliated jurisdictions.

Comedian "Tim Dillon discusses the latest release of shocking Epstein files & emails, Kash Patel apparently lying under oath, Bill & Hillary Clinton agreeing to testify on their involvement with Epstein, and the story of an Olive Garden cook who shoved his head into the fryer." This was better than watching the Superbowl, albeit may not be your cup of comedy.

So there’s a press release from SDNY on the death of Jeffrey Epstein and it’s dated one day before his actual death because of course it is.

The surprise hasn't been the vast amounts of money laundering to funding Frankenstein projects and ritual abuse. It's that nearly everything of cultural significance of the past 15 years was touched by Epstein's circle. Education, science, music, Arts, media, Blockchain, Bitcoin, Gaming & Sports, Reddit, 4Chan, QAnon, 27 Genders, and Covid. It isn't the Epstein Network. It's The Network.

To evolutionary biologist, ex Rutgers Professor of Anthropology, Robert Trivers in 2019 (they'd known each other for ~10 years and corresponded on the subject): "I thought that you might want to focus on transgender biology. People would be interested and I would fund." Epstein funded transgender programs.


EFTA01035795 |  EFTA01743575

Time Magazine named Robert Trivers one of the 20th Century's most influential thinkers.


"The Network" is actually not very big. It's a club where once initiated into has no allegiance to any country. Institutions (including the CIA) have bureaucratic inertia. A small group of well-funded psychos make things happen quickly. Long detailed well sourced essay that explains a lot...a global system of governance which of course includes digital ID as a primary lever of control. The system does not need a switchboard operator once the wiring is in the walls. This is a global labyrinth conspiracy.

Epstein the ultimate "switchboard operator"

This essay asks a different question: not what was built, but who coordinates the building — and whose interests the network behind it serves. The evidence comes from correspondence released through EFTA proceedings and US Department of Justice document releases in 2025 and 2026 — Epstein’s private communications with figures whose institutions appear throughout the earlier essays.

The same technique applies. Start with what the documents directly evidence. Trace connections to institutions. Infer where required. The POSIWID [The purpose of a system is what it does] principle holds throughout: claimed ‘intent’ counts for nothing — function is what matters.

The Week in Washington...

There is now enough weirdness around Epstein that even sensible journalists like me are saying he allegedly took his life. We’re just not sure anymore! It looks like this could be another case of us timidly accepting the official story, and then discovering we were lied to. You’d think we’d have learnt our lesson by now, wouldn’t you?
It’s fair to say the past 24 hours have been confusing. Ghislaine Maxwell astonished everyone by not committing suicide in her cell, and it looks like her boyfriend possibly didn’t commit suicide either. I’m now facing a dilemma: do I remain part of the cover up, or tell the truth for a change?

Um, let me think...

Obviously, if Epstein didn’t kill himself, it means he was murdered or busted out. I can’t imagine why though, because President Trump clearly has nothing to hide and Kash Patel seems like such an honest guy. Perhaps Hillary Clinton set Trump up to prevent him from disclosing the truth about UFOs. There is no other rational explanation…

I would leave it there and go to bed, but sadly, there are some things that are hard to pin on Hillary, things I don’t even think we could pin on Zohran Mamdani and he’s a Muslim.
For example, the Epstein files show that someone from the DOJ drafted the announcement of Epstein’s death 24 hours before his alleged suicide. Now this could have a simple explanation, such as Palantir has invented tech that can see into the future, or it could have been a typo, I guess. Silly me.

If only it was all so simple to explain away…

New footage shows possible entry to Epstein’s cell, due to a flash of movement past the camera that wasn’t previously disclosed. This adds to the previous weirdness, such as the DOJ accidentally releasing a fake video in December and quickly unpublishing it, and releasing the official video with missing segments. Even I can’t think of an excuse for this crap. Who are these useless dickheads?

As if that wasn’t hard enough to cover up, the DOJ has admitted—fucking admitted—it covered boxes in a sheet and passed them off as Epstein’s body. They say this was a decoy to fool the press while the real body was busted out, I mean taken away in secret. Combine this crap with the admission that malfunctioning hard drives for the cameras had to be wiped and replaced after Epstein’s death and you have the stuff that conspiracy theories are made of!

Oh god, the conspiracy theorists are gonna be insufferable because the more I look, the worse this crap gets…

Remember the 4chan guy who posted 38 minutes before Epstein’s death had been announced? The guy who claimed to be a prison guard and said Epstein was busted out and the bodies were switched? Well, the Epstein files confirm the FBI investigated and found 4chan guy really was an on-duty prison guard.

I doubt anyone is letting me pin this on Zohran, so if you love Trump as much as I do, just scream that 4chan guy is a “fucking liar!” What else can we do? I mean a picture of Epstein’s body was released that was missing the tattoo on his arm. They really forgot to draw a fake tattoo on the lookalike they murdered! Good grief…

Epstein confirmed in a 2017 deposition that he’d had the tattoo since he was 18. The barbwire tattoo is showing in images from the Epstein files so we’re now claiming he had it removed in the two years between the deposition and his death. I hope you’re buying this shit because I’m losing the plot here...

And now we have to talk about the fact Epstein almost died from hanging/strangulation two weeks before his death, initially blamed his cell mate, and then said he was confused and didn’t know what happened, but wanted to stay with the same cellmate. Epstein told the prison psychologist that he was not suicidal and was too much of a coward to harm himself. Many people who knew Epstein, including his brother and butler, have said he wouldn’t kill himself. Even Ghislaine said she doesn’t believe he killed himself.

And then there is the awkward fact someone flew a drone over Epstein island and might have caught him alive on camera. Epstein might truly be the first Jewish guy to come back from the dead since Jesus, although he is slightly less impressive than his predecessor. I still hate Jesus more though, because he gave people universal healthcare. Fucking commie.

Anyway, all of this stuff has got me too exhausted to be part of the cover up anymore, so if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to play Fortnite with littlestjeff1. Don’t ask…

What if the recent Epstein files dump that has garnered so much world-wide attention sparking many countries to open their own investigations are just another ARG, one giant psyop to engulf the world? There I said it. I could be wrong. On the flip-side if the files turn out to be authentic, assuming we get to see the unredacted files (at least some of them, like NAMES, which they won't) then the question is what are they going to do next. It's almost like this is a phase to prepare the general public on what comes next. Surely, there will be another magic trick.


George Frost Kennan aka Mr. X [1904-2005] famous diplomat and historian on our dangerous warmongering political-media establishment elites from 1982:

I find the view of the Soviet Union that prevails today in large portions of our governmental and journalistic establishments so extreme, so subjective, so far removed from what any sober scrutiny of external reality would reveal, that it is not only ineffective, but dangerous as a guide to political action.

This endless series of distortions and oversimplifications; this systematic dehumanization of the leadership of another great country; this routine exaggeration of Moscow’s military capabilities and of the supposed iniquity of Soviet intentions.

And we shall not be able to turn these things around as they should be turned, on the plane of military and nuclear rivalry, until we learn to correct these childish distortions — until we correct our tendency to see in the Soviet Union only a mirror in which we look for the reflection of our own virtue — until we consent to see there another great people, one of the world’s greatest, in all its complexity and variety, embracing the good with the bad, a people whose life, whose views, whose habits, whose fears and aspirations, whose successes and failures, are the products, just as ours are the products, not of any inherent iniquity but of the relentless discipline of history, tradition, and course in the national experience.

If we insist on demonizing these Soviet leaders — on viewing them as total and incorrigible enemies, consumed only with their fear and hatred of us and dedicated to nothing other than our destruction — that, in the end, is the way we shall assuredly have them, if for no other reason than that our view of them allows for nothing else, either for them or for us.

The quote is from George F. Kennan's article "On Nuclear War", published in The New York Review of Books on January 21, 1982.
