The Epstein Files › Tracking the Fallout Purported Suicide Note Using a proprietary search tool, The New York Times identified more than 5,300 files containing more than 38,000 references to Mr. Trump, his wife, his Mar-a-Lago club in Florida, and other related words and phrases in the latest batch of emails, government files, videos and other records released by the Justice Department. Previous installments of the Epstein files, which the department released late last year, included another 130 files with Trump-related references.
A “map” of the so-called “Great Awakening” shared among the Q Anon conspiracy theorists. Various categories are color coded. They are Antiquity, Premodern, ETs, Fascism, MKUltra, Depopulation, False Flags, Weather War, and Trump Era. White areas seem to be centered around the military-industrial complex. Two way arrows indicate linkages between eg Agenda 21 and the Georgia Guidestones, or Transgender to the Singularity. If you’ve forgotten about the Cult of Kek and the Guccifer Letter, I envy you. This is, as GW Bush might say, “some weird shit”.

It took about 15 years from Dr. King's assassination in 1968 for the bill to become law in 1983, but the journey to a fully recognized holiday across all 50 states took until 2000, meaning a total of 32 years from the initial push for a federal holiday to universal state observance. President Ronald Reagan signed it into law in November 1983, and the first observance was in 1986, though many states resisted for years. Key Milestones: 1968: Rep. John Conyers introduces the first bill for a federal holiday shortly after King's assassination. 1983 (Nov 2): President Reagan signs the bill into law after years of activism and Congressional debate, notes Politico. 1986: The first nationwide observance of the holiday. 2000: All 50 states officially recognize and observe Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, reports Newsweek.

The MVF began compensating victims in 2017. The bulk of its funds - about $2.2 billion - came from assets recovered from the estate of the late Jeffry Picower who was a Madoff investor, according to the department. Some of Madoff’s victims have also received compensation through Irving Picard, a court-appointed trustee in the Madoff case, who has distributed almost $14 billion to former Madoff customers. Most of the money Picard’s lawyers have collected came through settlements with former investors who withdrew more from Madoff’s firm than they deposited…
