She’s resigned from Goldman Sachs: HERE.

22. Can’t recall who wrote this

… I just grabbed it, meaning to return. WYSIWYG:

“In 2010, a billionaire from Iowa bought his girlfriend a gift. A 240-foot yacht. Five decks. A helipad. And something most people wouldn’t notice: a compartment beneath the waterline. Big enough for a submarine. They named it Plan B.

His name was Ted Waitt. He’d built Gateway computers into a billion-dollar company. He was wealthy, recently divorced, and interested in ocean conservation. Her name was Ghislaine Maxwell. And over the next two years, something strange happened. Waitt donated ten million dollars to the Clinton Foundation. Maxwell attended Chelsea Clinton’s wedding in August 2010. Within months, she was speaking at the United Nations. At TED conferences. At events where world leaders gathered.

She’d launched a nonprofit called TerraMar. Its mission: protecting international waters—the sixty-four percent of the ocean that belongs to no country. No coast guard patrols there. No customs. No jurisdiction. And for private submarines? No required logs.

Between 2012 and 2017, TerraMar gave out zero dollars in ocean conservation grants. The organization spent less than nine hundred dollars total. But on tax returns, TerraMar claimed it owed Ghislaine Maxwell over half a million dollars. Meanwhile, Maxwell was getting certified. Submarine pilot. Helicopter pilot. Deep-sea vehicle operator. Emergency medical technician. She posted photos of herself diving. “Cleaning ocean trash,” she said. But why would a socialite spend years learning to pilot submarines? —

In 2019, drone operators flew over a private island in the U.S. Virgin Islands. The island belonged to Jeffrey Epstein. The footage showed something most people had missed: a structure on the coastline. Hidden. Leading underground. Engineers who analyzed it said it looked like an entrance to a docking facility. For boats. Or submarines. People could arrive underwater. In international waters, where no country watches. No manifests. No customs forms. No record. And then walk through that entrance as if they’d never been there at all.

On July 6, 2019, Jeffrey Epstein was arrested at an airport in New Jersey. Six days later—July 12, 2019—TerraMar announced it was closing. Immediately. No explanation. Website went dark. Phone disconnected. Why would an ocean charity need to shut down the moment Epstein was arrested? Maxwell disappeared.

For a year, the FBI couldn’t find her. In July 2020, they located her hiding in New Hampshire. She was convicted in December 2021. But in July 2025, something unusual happened. Maxwell was moved from a harsh federal facility in Florida to a minimum-security prison in Texas. The kind with outdoor recreation. No bars. Regular clothing. Inmates call it “Club Fed.”

Why is someone convicted of what she did getting transferred to the most comfortable federal prison in the system? Congressional investigators asked. The Justice Department declined to comment. And here’s what no one can find: The logs for Plan B’s submarine. Private submarines don’t require the same documentation as aircraft. If someone used that submarine to move between international waters and that island, there’d be no record. The FBI won’t say if they ever looked.

Ted Waitt sold the yacht in 2014. He’s never spoken publicly about Maxwell. He declined all interview requests after her arrest. So the questions remain: How many people used that submarine? How many walked through that underground entrance and then went back to their normal lives? And why—after everything Maxwell was convicted of—is she now in the most comfortable prison in America?

There’s something in the newly released FBI files. Something about that nine-hour meeting in July 2025. Something about what Maxwell knows. And something about why powerful people might want to keep her comfortable.

Why did her father die on a yacht named after her?”

“Slick little programmer:

Master forger of rare books (Sanders) gets mixed up with Nazis (Blackmer), a detective (Denning) and a double-crossing dame (Patrick).

The convoluted script may take a Rosetta Stone to solve, still it’s a slickly done TCF programmer. Those two smoothies Sanders and Patrick are well cast as a couple of A-team masochists, engaged in a game of one-upmanship and about as trustworthy as rattlesnakes.

In fact, Patrick’s character qualifies for the Devious Dame Hall of Fame, with her warm personality and stone cold heart. Still, I’m a bit surprised that some of that pain-loving dialog Sanders relishes made it past the censors. Usually old Hollywood just hinted at such things instead of belaboring them.

Denning and Roberts are clearly America’s team, though Denning may wobble at times. One thing for sure—set design and art direction come cheap since most of the action takes place in a single setting, a library.

Still, director Larkin keeps things moving. And get a load of baldy Kurt Katch’s mute Nazi. He’s about as inviting as the polar ice cap and just as chilling. But, I’m still wondering which thug belongs to which gang, which does get confusing.

Oh well, things do sort out, I think. Then too, it’s 1942 and the war is still in doubt. Byron Foulger’s officious little air warden may be on the silly side, but the blackouts weren’t. These old movies do show us things the history books can’t.

Anyhow, the movie may be nothing to write home about. But it’s still impressive how Hollywood could turn out such slick little programmers in the middle of a big war.”

“On November 18, 1990, the 101st Congress quietly repealed the McCarren-Walter Act of 1952, forbidding Muslims from holding office. Members of that Congress included Biden, Cheney, Kerry, Gore, McCain, McConnell, Pelosi and Schumer.”

… for my layman’s understanding:

https://dailysceptic.org/2026/02/12/excess-deaths-continue-to-climb-with-no-sign-of-slowing-down/#comments

I skimmed through, went to the last para, then to comments. Here are a few of them:

  • ONS Covid death statistics can’t be relied upon. Deaths caused by other factors were routinely classified as COVID to increase numbers and frighten the public. Same for the manipulated PCR tests geared for positive results. Many thousands were also killed in care settings using Midazolam and Morphine and then recorded as COVID deaths. The Covid injections then killed many more. We are living through the biggest medical scandal in history.
  • Stroke and cardiac arrest I believe … Plus cancers and the latest iteration – turbo cancer. A friend of mine is on the way out with pancreatic, turbo variety. Two others of my acquaintance recent cancer diagnoses. Lost a friend two years ago – turbo.

Largely onboard … I’d still add … young drug scene now, rampant hookup culture from early teens, caustic air, poisoned land and foods, cellphones, 5G, invasion of hordes, sedentary life, esp. of the young. Vaxxes still major factor though.

On the 10th, I ran this:


It’s actually packed with significant dates when adding people I know or knew from my life having birthdays within the time period, plus this Friday 13th biz, then Valentine’s straight after it and another birthday known to me on the 15th. Not sure of any on the 16th though.

Was Stanley Meyer a fraud or legit?

Naturally, the link does not expand as usual but this is a sshot from it:


That murdered bit … he was in a restaurant, got up, went outside, claiming he was poisoned. Died. Official line was he’d had cardio issues.

Here’s a take on his water fuel cell:

https://www.military.com/off-duty/autos/water-powered-car-fact-or-fiction.html

My (JH’s) layman’s take on it:

He was talking electrolysis. There is already hydrogen production and using it to fuel devices but hydrogen is a dangerous substance uncontained. His claim was he could do the electrolysis in-vehicle whilst running it.

Steve with Sayerji

“None of us knew the depth and the darkness.” — Keir Starmer, on Jeffrey Epstein’s British connections. Seema Misra was jailed while pregnant. Sub-postmasters lost their homes and livelihoods. Jimmy Savile abused children for decades. Every time, Starmer was running the institution responsible. Every time: “I didn’t know.” Now it’s Epstein. And the documents tell a very different story.

Documents released under the Epstein Files Transparency Act show Britain’s National Crime Agency was running a classified intelligence operation on Epstein’s British connections — from inside the British Embassy in Washington, D.C. Not a tip. Not a rumour. Not informal cooperation. A formal, classified, embassy-to-FBI intelligence operation. Beginning January 2020.

The NCA built a financial intelligence pipeline — UK Financial Intelligence Unit to America’s FinCEN — catching Epstein-linked transactions that US institutions may have missed. British banks were flagging suspicious activity on people in Epstein’s immediate circle. Internal NCA emails show officers coordinating with the NSPCC over whether a parallel British investigation would affect FBI operations. The NCA knew this involved children. DOJ EFTA00037470: https://justice.gov/age-verify?destination=/epstein/files/DataSet%208/EFTA00037470.pdf

“None of us knew.” → Jan 2020: NCA begins classified Epstein operation from the British Embassy → Apr 2020: Starmer becomes Labour leader → Jul 2024: Starmer becomes PM → Dec 2024: Starmer appoints Mandelson as ambassador — to the embassy where the operation was running → Sep 2025: Starmer fires Mandelson → Jan 2026: Documents reveal what the government knew all along

Nearly five years of classified intelligence. And he sent Mandelson to the Washington D.C. building it was coming from.

Now ask yourself: what kind of security vetting for a Washington ambassadorship doesn’t access the NCA’s own classified intelligence on the most high-profile Epstein associate in British public life? Either it did — and Starmer appointed him anyway. Or it didn’t — and the vetting system excluded the UK’s own Epstein investigation from screening the UK’s most prominent Epstein connection. Both answers are devastating.

And Starmer can’t claim he doesn’t understand how this system works. He ran it. From 2008–2013, he was Director of Public Prosecutions — head of the Crown Prosecution Service. The CPS prosecutes every case the NCA investigates. Under statute, the DPP issues disclosure notices — NCA officers execute them. The DPP authorizes warrants — NCA officers carry them out. Due diligence wasn’t part of his job. It was his entire job.

But here’s the pattern that should alarm every person in Britain. Post Office Horizon: The CPS prosecuted sub-postmasters on data from a system known to be faulty — while Starmer was DPP. Seema Misra was jailed in 2010. Pregnant. Conviction quashed 2021. At least 11 prosecutions on his watch. He had the statutory power to stop them. “I wasn’t aware.” The CPS says it destroyed the records.

Jimmy Savile: Britain’s most prolific child abuser was reported to police while Starmer ran the CPS. The decision not to prosecute was made under his leadership. Savile died free. Hundreds of victims never saw justice. “It never came close to crossing my desk.” The CPS says it destroyed the records. See the pattern?

Horizon: “I didn’t know.” Records destroyed. Savile: “I didn’t know.” Records destroyed. Epstein: “None of us knew.” The CPS destroyed his Washington trip records too. Three catastrophic institutional failures. Three times the most vulnerable people — children, sub-postmasters, abuse victims — were failed. Three times the man at the top says he didn’t know. Three times the records that could prove it are gone. This is not bad luck. This is a pattern.

Compartmentalization doesn’t explain it. Compartmentalization protects active operations from political interference. It does not exist to shield a prime minister from his own government’s intelligence during the appointment of an ambassador — to the very embassy running the operation. He’s asking you to believe that the system he personally ran for five years failed at the exact moment it mattered most. Again.

“None of us knew.” The NCA knew. The British Embassy knew. The financial intelligence unit knew. The NSPCC was consulted. The CPS — the agency Starmer ran — exists by statute to know. Sub-postmasters went to prison. Savile’s victims never got justice. Mandelson got an ambassadorship. And every time: “I didn’t know.” And every time: the records are gone. Britain deserves an answer. In Parliament. Under oath. Dive into the full investigation: https://sayerji.substack.com/p/none-of-us-knew-the-classified-epstein
