Epstein's Death Announced the Day Before He Died

A Document from the Southern District of New York Police announcing Jeffrey Epstein's Death, has been going Viral on Social Media, after it was included in the Newly Released Justice Department Files. The reason, it carries a Date that appears to Precede the moment Epstein was Officially found Dead inside His Prison Cell, prompting a Whirlwind of Speculation.

The Federal Statement was dated Friday, August 9th, 2019, and clearly says that Epstein had been found Unresponsive and Pronounced dead by this Date.

However, Prison Records as well as Official Accounts show Epstein was Not found dead until the morning of August 10th, 2019, when He was Discovered by a Corrections Officer Delivering Breakfast to Him.

Jeffrey Epstein Autopsy Photos show Staggering Neck Injuries. Prison Officer's Panicked. "Earlier this morning, the Manhattan Correctional Center confirmed that Jeffrey Epstein, who faced charges brought by this Office of engaging in the sex trafficking of minors, had been found unresponsive in his cell and pronounced dead shortly thereafter," the Statement from then-Manhattan U.S. Attorney Geoffrey S. Berman reads.

"Today's events are disturbing, and we are deeply aware of their potential to present yet another hurdle to giving Epstein's many victims their day in Court. To those brave young women who have already come forward and to the many others who have yet to do so, let me reiterate that we remain committed to standing for you, and our investigation of the conduct charged in the Indictment."

Official Accounts show Epstein was found Unresponsive a Little after 6:30 am on August 10th. After Medics attempted to Revive Him, and His Death was Ruled a Suicide by Hanging.

There have been many Controversies surrounding the Financier's Passing; Prison Records show that the Guards assigned to Monitor Him did Not Conduct Required Checks during the Overnight hours prior to His being found dead. Official Findings show that the Scheduled Rounds at 3 am and 5 am were Missed.

Additionally, the Cameras outside Epstein's Cell were Not Functioning properly that Night, and it was later Confirmed that at least Two Surveillance Cameras had Malfunctioned. This left Gaps in the Footage, Preventing Officials from establishing a Reliable Timeline of Epstein's Final Moments. No Precise Official Time of Death has been Determined to this Day because of it.

Other Files released earlier this week, show Surveillance Observations from inside the Facility. Records show that Investigators from the FBI and the Justice Department's Office of Inspector General, identified Footage showing what looked like an Unidentified Figure moving toward the Floor where Epstein was Situated.

At around 10.40 pm, Surveillance shows an Orange Object moving up the Stairs to Epstein's Cell Block at the New York Prison before He was found Dead.

Russia Tests Ukraine's Border Loses Two Battalions

Russian Forces are most Active in the Kharkiv Region, near the Settlement of Vovchanski Khutory, as well as along certain Sections of the Border in the Sumy Region.

This was Stated by State Border Guard Service of Ukraine Spokesperson Andrii Demchenko during National Telethon.

According to Demchenko, over the past 24 hours the Enemy has attempted to Attack the Positions of Ukrainian Border Guards, particular within the Khotin, Yunakivka, and Krasnopillia Communities of the Sumy Region.

"The enemy is probing the situation along the border with small infantry groups and in some areas is attempting to attack positions held by Border Guard Service units," Demchenko said.

He noted that during attempts to Breach the Ukrainian Border, Russian Units suffered Heavy Losses. According to Him, Enemy Casualties amounted to roughly Two Battalions Killed and Wounded.

In late January, near the Village of Hrabovske in the Sumy region, Russian Forces committed another War Crime. During an Attempt to Evacuate independently amid Drone Strikes, Two Civilians were Killed.

A Man and a Woman were trying to Leave the Occupied Territory. Ukrainian Forces were aware of their Route and were Coordinating the Evacuation. However, Russian FPV Drone Operators deliberately Targeted the Unarmed Civilians: the First Strike Killed the Woman, and the Second Hit the Wounded Man who was nearby.

According to the State Border Guard Service, Russian Units continue attempts to Break into Ukrainian Territory in Small Infantry Groups along Sections of the Border in the Sumy Region, but they are Sustaining Losses and Failing to Achieve Success.

In addition, the Enemy is Actively using Remote Mining Tactics. Explosive Devices are Dropped from Drones in Light-Colored Bags that Detonate upon Contact or Close Approach. Such Incidents have already been recorded in areas adjacent to the Sumy Region.

Education Dept. New Info on School Prayer and Launches Student Data Probe

The U.S. Department of Education (DOE) on Thursday, issued Sweeping New Guidance, Re-Affirming Constitutionally Protected Prayer in Public Schools while simultaneously Opening a High-Profile Investigation, into whether College Student Data was Improperly Shared to Influence Elections. The Updated Guidance on Prayer and Religious Expression in Public Elementary and Secondary Schools clarifies that Students, Parents, Teachers, and School Employees may Engage in Religious Expression consistent with their Sincerely held Beliefs, provided the Activity is Personal, Non-Disruptive, and Not Sponsored by the School itself.

The Document, Required under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act to be Periodically Updated, Replaces Guidance issued in 2023 under the Biden (D) Administration, which is No longer in Effect. Education Officials said the Update reflects recent Supreme Court Rulings and Reinforces Long-Standing First Amendment Protections. Under the Guidance, Public Schools may Not Organize, Endorse, or Coerce Religious Activity, but they also may Not Single out Religious Expression for Unfavorable Treatment. Religious Speech, the Department said, must be Treated the same as Secular Speech, including in Grading Assignments or Recognizing Student Organizations.

Education Secretary Linda McMahon (R) said the Guidance is intended to Protect Individual Freedoms while maintaining the Constitutional Separation between Church and State in Public Education. The Department cited recent Supreme Court Decisions, including Kennedy v. Bremerton School District and Mahmoud v. Taylor, as Shaping the current Legal Landscape. The Guidance also Aligns with Executive Orders Signed by Trump (R) Establishing the White House Faith Office and the Religious Liberty Commission.

The Full Guidance is Available Here. On the same day, the Department’s Student Privacy Policy Office, announced it has Launched Investigations into Tufts University and the National Student Clearinghouse, over Potential Violations of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA).

The Probe Centers on the National Study of Learning, Voting, and Engagement, a Project housed at Tufts that Analyzes Student Voting Behavior. Federal Officials said they have received Reports alleging that Student Data collected through the Initiative may have been Shared with Third Parties, including Political Organizations, without Proper Consent.

Investigators are examining what Data was Collected, how it was Shared, Who received it, and whether Students were adequately Informed or given the Opportunity to Opt out, as Required by Federal Law. FERPA Restricts the Disclosure of Personally Identifying Student Information, and Applies to any Institution receiving Federal Education Funds.

Alongside the Investigation, the Department issued New Guidance to Colleges and Universities Clarifying their Obligations under FERPA and Wwarning that Institutions using Data from the NSLVE Project could Face Compliance Risks. The Guidance Rescinds Prior Biden-era Policies that Encouraged Participation in the Initiative. Violations of FERPA can Result in the Loss of Federal Funding, One of the most Severe Penalties available to the Department.

Together, the Actions Signal an Assertive Shift by the Education Department, Tightening Enforcement around Student Privacy, while drawing Clearer Boundaries around Religious Expression in Public Schools, Two areas Officials say are Central to Protecting Constitutional Rights in the Nation’s Education System.

Canada and France Open Consulates in Greenland

Canada and France Opened Diplomatic Consulates on Friday, in the Capital of Greenland, showing Support for NATO Ally Denmark, and the Arctic Island, in the wake of U.S. efforts to Secure Control of the Semiautonomous Danish Territory.

Canada's Maple-Leaf Flag went up and Dozens of People sang “O Canada” as Foreign Minister Anita Anand Officially Opened the Country's Consulate in Nuuk, which is also the Largest City of the Iicy Arctic island. “The significance of raising this flag today and formally opening the consulate is that we will stand together with the people of Greenland and Denmark on many issues,” She said.

Anand cited Deepening Ties on Defense, Security, Climate Change, Economic Resilience and Arctic Co-Operation. France's Foreign Ministry said, Jean-Noël Poirier was taking up His Duties, as Consul General on Friday, making it the First European Union Country to establish a Consulate General in Greenland.

Greenland's Sermitsiaq Reported that Poirier had arrived Friday along with Canada's Delegation, but said the Consul doesn't yet have a Physical Consulate. Poirier will be “tasked with working to deepen existing cooperation projects with Greenland in the cultural, scientific, and economic fields, while also srengthening Political tties with the local authorities,” the Ministry said.

France says the Decision to Open its Outpost was made when President Emmanuel Macron Visited in June. Canada Pledged to Open a Consulate in Greenland in 2024, before Trump's (R) recent Talk of a Takeover, and the Formal Inauguration was Delayed from November because of Bad Weather.

Trump announced last month, He would Slap New Tariffs on Denmark and Seven other European Countries that Opposed His Takeover calls, only to Abruptly Drop His Threats. He said a “framework” for a Deal had been reached over Access to Mineral-Rich Greenland. Few Details of that Agreement have Emerged.

Last week, Technical Talks started between the U.S., Denmark, and Greenland, toward an Arctic Security Deal. The Foreign Ministers of Denmark and Greenland, had Agreed to Create a Working Group during a Meeting with U.S. Vice President JD Vance (R) and Secretary of State Marco Rubio (R) before Trump made His Tariff Threats.

AI Boom Causing Shortages Everywhere

Electricians are getting Harder to find, and some Construction Projects are on Hold. Smartphones are expected to get Pricier for potentially years to come. And Promising Innovations are being Starved of Investment Funding. Those are just some of the Domino Effects from the Technology industry’s Insatiable spending on Artificial intelligence (AI), which is diverting Resources and Attention from other Sectors of the Economy.

Five Leading Public AI companies are collectively on track to spend about $700 billion in 2026 on Big-Ticket Projects, as they Splurge on Building and Outfitting Data Centers stuffed with Powerful Computer Chips to Turbocharge AI Calculations. That Outlay by Amazon, Google, Meta, Microsoft, and Oracle. will nearly Double what they spent in 2025, and be Equal to Three-Quarters of the recent Annual Budget for the U.S. Military.

Tech Companies say that Spending or Borrowing a Fortune to Develop AI, is already delivering Higher Revenue from Businesses and Consumers eager to use the Technology. But Critics worry that the up-front Costs to Develop AI have become so Mammoth that the Investment can possibly Pay-Off only if AI Reshapes Life, Work, and the Economy, in a way that Uncorks Massive New Profits for these Technology Firms.

JPMorgan calculated last fall, that the Tech industry must Collect an extra $650 billion in Revenue every year, Three times the Annual Revenue of AI Chip Giant Nvidia, to earn a reasonable Investment Return. That Marker is probably even Higher now, because AI Spending has Increased. OpenAI, which unleashed the Nation’s AI Mania with the Public Debut of ChatGPT in late 2022, expects to Lose more than $100 billion through the End of the Decade, the Technology News Publication, the Information Reported in September 2025.

It won’t be Clear for some time, whether AI will continue Improving as quickly as it has in the past few years, and makes People and Business much more Productive. What is clear is that every dollar spent now on its Development raises both the potential Rreward and the Risks for its Backers. “It is possible that the amount invested in AI in the U.S. since the middle of 2022, exceeds all prior investments in the entire tech industry,” Roger McNamee, an Early Backer of Facebook, in his 40-year career as a Technology Investor, said in an email. “That alone should give everyone pause.”

While the potential Payoff is years away, the Massive Spending on AI is creating Scarcity today, even for Companies that aren’t Primarily focused on it. Apple told its Investors last week, that the Company is having Trouble Buying enough of Two different types of Computer Chip, that are Essential for iPhones and Mac Computers. AI companies also need gobs of some of those same Chips to build out Data Centers, and there aren’t enough for Everyone. That insatiable Demand has Escalated the Price of the Memory Chips that make Smartphones and Computers feel Zippy, according to Industry Analysts and Manufacturers. The added Cost is set to Translate into Higher Sticker Prices for Consumer Electronics.

Francisco Jeronimo, an Analyst with the Industry Research firm IDC, expects Smartphone and Personal Computer manufacturers will either raise Prices by 5% or more later this year, Release less-capable Devices, or perhaps do Both. He said that Higher Prices could persist for years if the AI Boom continues, potentially forcing some Smaller Phone Makers Outp-of-Business. Apple CEO Tim Cook said last week, on an Earnings Call that He “wouldn’t want to speculate” about whether Apple might increase iPhone Prices as a Result of Higher Chip Costs.

The Data Center Construction Boom is sucking up People as well as Computer Chips. In U.S. Communities where the Facilities are being Erected, Construction Firms and their Workers are raking in Money. But that Activity has probably Sidelined other types of Building Projects that the U.S. Needs, said Anirban Basu, Chief Economist for Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC), a Construction Industry Trade Group.

There are Not enough skilled Electricians and other Specialized Trade Workers for both Data Center Projects and other Complex Construction, Basu said, such as Apartment Buildings, Factories, and Health Care Facilities. AI Data Centers tend to be more Lucrative for Construction Firms, which relegates anything else to a Lower Priority. Based on Government figures, Basu’s Group calculates that spending on Construction of New Data Centers rose 32% in 2025 through October, compared with the same 10 months of 2024. For other types of Commercial Real Estate, Construction Spending is barely Growing, and in some Cases is Declining.

Basu said that a Decline in U.S. Manufacturing of Homes, Offices, and Factories, would probably occur even Without the AI Data Center Construction Boom, because of Factors including Climbing Costs for Building Materials, Zoning Restrictions, Higher Tariffs and Stricter Immigration Policies. But He Notes that AI Data Center demand is probably Worsening Chronic Capacity Shortages in Construction.

OpenAI told the White House in October 2025, that its Planned Data Centers in coming years, would require roughly 20% of the existing Workforce of Skilled Tradespeople, such as Specialized Electricians and Mechanics. It Urged the Trump (R) Administration to Strengthen the Training Pipeline for Workers with those Skills. ABC says that the Construction Industry will be Short nearly Half-a-Million Workers next year.

The push for AI is also Worsening a Class Divide in Silicon Valley, between a relatively Tiny Number of AI Superstar Start-Ups and Everyone else, which could Stifle the Emergence of New Ideas. About One-Third of the Investment Money into U.S. Start-Ups last year, went to the Top 1% most Valuable Companies, According to an Updated Analysis this Week by Silicon Valley Bank. Funding for a Less Elite Tier of Start-Ups reached a Decade Low, the Report said. “The ‘middle class’ of start-ups is hollowing out,” said Roy Bahat, who Leads the Start-Up Investment Firm Bloomberg Beta.

The Skewed Funding Threatens to Stall Development for some Promising Technology Start-Ups, the Bank Warned. “Companies without the supercharged star power of a repeat founder or an AI phenom faced a sober landscape in 2025,” the Report said.

Darrell West, a Senior Fellow who Specializes in AI at the Brookings Institution, a Washington Think Tank, said the AI Boom could Soak-Up so much Attention and Resources that it Threatens American Dynamism. “There are so many parts of the economy that are not dependent on AI,” West said. “Are we going to create problems in other sectors being able to raise money and hire the workers they need?”
