The Unredacted Jeffrey Epstein Black Book, Flight Logs, and Flight Manifests: .PDF files

Download #1: Jeffrey Epstein's Black Book

      The two .PDF files which are found immediately below, are 95-page versions of Jeffrey Epstein's personal book of contacts (dubbed his "Black Book"); a document that was dated 2004-2005 (which probably refers to the year or years when it was scanned).
     The only difference between the files is the title.

     The file was downloaded from DocumentCloud.org, and is still available at the following address:

     That document became publicly accessible after Epstein allegedly lost it on the street in New York City in 1997.

     [Author's Note: The source above - i.e., the Business Insider article - contains a searchable database of the entries in a 92-page version of the black book, but the full article database search feature are only available with a subscription to BusinessInsider.com.
     There are websites - such as www.printfriendly.com - that allow users to copy and paste links, to read full articles without subscriptions, but that method does not allow access to the searchable database.
     Please e-mail me at jwkopsick@gmail.com if you would like me to e-mail you any of the files mentioned in this post.]

2. Explanation

[Author's Note:

     The information below was added to this post on January 9th, 2024.

     This text originally appeared in my article "What is the Evidence Supporting the Claims that Donald Trump and Joe Biden Are Child Molesters?", which was first posted to this blog on February 10th, 2021.]

     On January 6th, 2015 - during a Senate swearing-in ceremony - Joe Biden was broadcast live on C-SPAN pinching the right nipple of Maria Piacesi, the niece of Republican Montana Senator Steve Daines.

     Piacesi's mother Christine is Steve Daines's sister. Maria Piacesi appeared to be somewhere between 7 and 10 years old; I estimate her to have been about 8 years old at the time. This means that she was probably born around 2006.
     After placing his hand on the girl's side, and discreetly moving his hand upwards, towards her chest, Biden pinched the girl's nipple. The girl can be seen reacting, stepping to her left in a vain attempt to get farther away from Biden, and looking around to see if anyone noticed the pinching. While pinching the girl, Biden joked to her family that the girl should go on "No serious dates until you're thirty" [years old]. Biden pinched the girl's nipple while saying the word "dates".
     Based on the expression on the face of the girl's mother (the woman in the blue dress), she may have noticed that Biden was touching her, or at least that he was getting a little too close for the girl's comfort.

     The following links lead to videos comprised of unedited footage taken directly from C-SPAN's and C-SPAN-2's websites. No changes have been made to the footage, except for the clipping, omission, and repetition which were necessary to remove unneeded footage and focus on Biden's grabbing and pinching.

In Memoriam: Green Party of Lake County, Illinois Announces Passing of Chairman Ethan Winnett

Dear Fellow Greens:


   It is with heavy hearts today that we announce the sad and untimely passing of Ethan Winnett (a/k/a Ethan Windmillsky), who served as the interim chairman of our Lake County chapter since the mid-2010s.
     Ethan August Winnett was 38 years old.


   Ethan was a dedicated chairman, keeping the chapter open and populated through difficult years of low attendance, and drawing more people into the chapter and party.

     He was a busy activist, assisting the Waukegan area; including through preparing free meals for the homeless (despite struggling on-and-off with homelessness himself), and with neighborhood trash clean-up, and community gardening.

     He was also a veteran of the United States Army, and a tireless advocate for veterans’ rights, and for achieving peace worldwide.

 

     Ethan’s penchant for poetry, his love of music, and his fun-loving attitude touched the lives of everyone around him, and helped keep us in good spirits. His outspoken nature and his righteous indignation at the powers-that-be helped inspire us and guide us through years of oppression and antagonism. And for that, he will be sorely missed, and not soon forgotten.

     He is survived by his mother Lana; his sister Elanna, and was preceded in death by his father and hero, Buddy Winnett, Sr., who passed in 2019.


     As a lover of science and technology, Ethan was not religiously observant; so in his memory - in lieu of prayers - mourners are encouraged to do the things that Ethan loved; singing songs, sharing poetry, doing something to be close to nature (such as planting a tree), eating Ethan's favorite food (jap-chae / jap-che), or simply reminding someone they care about that they love them.

     Anyone wishing to be kept updated about memorial services should contact Ethan's sister Ela (by e-mailing earth2ela@gmail.com).

     Anyone wishing to make a donation in Ethan's memory can contact Clean Power Lake County, or the Green Party of Illinois.

     In solidarity,

 

Green Party Co-Chair Anna Schiefelbein

and

Joseph W. Kopsick











Ethan August Winnett

(January 31st, 1985 - October 19th, 2023)

Ten Reasons Why the Biden Administration Should Call for a Cease-Fire in the Holy Land

     The list below shows the top ten reasons why, I believe, that the United States – under the Joe Biden Administration – should call for a cease-fire in regard to the Israel-Hamas conflict, and keep calling for a cease-fire until it gets one.

     This list should also suffice as a reason for President Biden to instruct the Navy ship, which is currently carrying two thousand U.S. Marines and soldiers to the Israeli battle front, to turn around, before something goes wrong, and before it is too late to avoid a wider catastrophe.

 

     1. A cease-fire could achieve bipartisan support. First, by achieving peace, and avoiding the flattening and destruction of the Gaza Strip, which Democrats would appreciate. Second, it could serve as a chance for Republicans to embarrass President Biden for approving the deletion of the tweet, by Secretary of State Antony Blinken, which praised the nation of Turkey for its own call for a cease-fire in the Israeli-Hamas conflict.

     2. Both sides – the State of Israel, and the armed resistance fighters attempting to protect the Palestinians, as well as civilians protected by both groups – are guilty of many of the same atrocities and war crimes, of which they are accusing each other. Examples of such atrocities include targeting civilians, killing each other’s babies, and calling for a genocide of their enemies. We are being baited into taking sides, and it has to stop, before we say something we regret and cannot take back.

      3. The State of Israel can defend itself. The United States has been sending more than $3 billion to that country every year for at least the past ten years. America helped Israel build the Iron Dome missile defense system. We have done enough already. Israel can defend itself, it has other allies besides the United States, and further aid to Israel will only increase Israeli dependence upon the U.S.. This is not our fight.

     4. Nobody knows, yet, whether the Israeli military, or a misfire by Hamas, was the cause of the recent destruction of the Baptist Hospital in Gaza. There is so much confusion and misinformation surrounding this incident, that the only way to be sure that no more attacks take place, is to call for both sides to stop launching attacks.

     5. If you live by the sword, then you will die by the sword. Everybody is putting themselves in harm’s way, and blaming the other side for doing the same thing. Hamas is humiliating its own people by accidentally firing bombs at its own people in approximately 30 to 40 percent of the missile attacks it commits. The Israeli Army has something called the Hannibal Directive, which excuses Israel allowing its own people to get killed, as long as the fact that Israelis are dead can be used to justify subsequent attacks that will achieve other more important military objectives. And the United States is putting its own Marines and soldiers in harm’s way, by sending two thousand troops to the battle front. U.S. involvement only increases the chances that New York City or Washington, D.C. could get targeted with a nuclear weapon or dirty bomb. Additionally, a million Jews are gathered in each Haifa and Jerusalem, which could easily become the target of large-scale weapons strikes; while some Jews believe that the Jews were dispersed among the peoples of the Earth, by G-d, on purpose, in order to spread Judaism to all the nations of the world, but also to keep the Jewish people safe by avoiding concentrating them all in one location. Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.

     6. We don’t know which side was the first to take a human life. Prior to last month, there was no fighting in Israel since May 2023. As I stated in my previous article on this topic, on September 22nd, or earlier, a Hamas militant launched an incendiary device towards an I.D.F. soldier. That incendiary device killed zero people. That casualty-free attack was an opportunity for the Israelis to forgive. The Israelis passed on that opportunity, and instead launched an attack which bore no reported casualties. However, it’s extremely unlikely – with Israel’s advanced military technology – that this attack killed nobody; and more likely that it did kill people, but that the deaths were not reported, due to low sympathy for Palestinians in the Western media. The Jewish people have every right to defend themselves – and even the right to kill, if necessary, in order to do so, which doesn’t even violate the commandment against murder – but it is possible that it was the State of Israel which committed the first murder in this round of fighting; which, I repeat, began in late September, not early October.

     7. The U.S. should not risk escalating this conflict. If the U.S. sends Marines to the Holy Land, then eventually those troops will be fired-upon by Hamas. That will likely lead to a wider conflict, in which Hezbollah and Iran, and other Muslim nations, will join-in, followed by the close European allies of the United States and the State of Israel. This will lead to World War III if the leaders of the nations of the world do not call for an immediate cease-fire, and continue calling for it – no matter who tries to break it, or how many times - until it is achieved.

     8. If this conflict escalates, then it will become more likely that our elected representatives will abandon their dedication to maintaining an all-volunteer army, and will turn instead to reinstating registration for the draft, reinstating the military draft (Selective Service) instead, and perhaps even include women in that draft to fill gaps. The U.S. should not risk committing young people to a war that they barely understand; young people whom were born decades after the wider Israeli-Arab Conflict began. This would be extremely unfair to them, and many of them would get killed, tearing families apart.

     9. I don’t want to spend my holiday season reading about people getting bombed, watching Gaza getting flattened, watching Palestinians get exterminated, watching the Jews of Israel get wiped off the map, watching a genocide of either side happen, or watching World War III break out. There have been too many holiday seasons, in recent years, that Israel and Palestine have spent bombing each other. Nobody wants to spend their Christmas, Hanukkah, or Ramadan watching people die (except the Military-Industrial Complex). We have already seen that happen, multiple times, and it isn't pretty.

     10. America winning this war, or losing it, are not the only two options here. The fact that Americans have already died in Hamas attacks in Israel, shouldn't have to mean that more Americans die as well. We must learn the lesson of the Cold War and the film War Games: The only way to win is to not play the game. We must call for forgiveness, peace, and a cease-fire. Nobody wins in a nuclear war, and nobody achieves a total victory in a world war. We must be content with a draw. If we want humanity to survive – this winter, or at all – then peace is the only option.

 

 

     Peace, shalom, salaam.

Israelis' and Palestinians' Unwillingness to Forgive Casualty-Free Attacks Leads to Deaths on Both Sides

       Yesterday (on October 7th, 2023), several periodicals - including The Wall Street Journal - published articles asserting that the State of Israel, and its Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, have "declared war" on the Palestinian militant group Hamas.

     Leaving aside the issue of whether "declaring war" on Hamas serves to legitimize it as if it were a state or political entity, it is necessary to address the mainstream media's narratives regarding the recent violence exchanged between Israelis and Palestinians in the last several weeks.

 

     This "declaration of war" against Hamas follows what ReutersC.N.N., and others described as "surprise attacks", carried out by Hamas against Israeli targets.

     http://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/sirens-warning-incoming-rockets-sound-around-gaza-near-tel-aviv-2023-10-07/

     http://www.cnn.com/2023/10/07/middleeast/sirens-israel-rocket-attack-gaza-intl-hnk/index.html

     However, "surprise attacks" is hardly an honest way to characterize these attacks.

 

     Two weeks ago (on Sunday, September 24th, 2023), N.P.R. published an article titled "Israel strikes Gaza for the third straight day as West Bank violence escalates".

     http://www.npr.org/2023/09/24/1201381201/an-israeli-military-raid-has-killed-two-palestinians-in-the-west-bank?fbclid=IwAR1omulobWR5oOF6Whiku445zRLHBHc9jYhtj63vaI3sxVRd_bMerpgkS50#:~:text=Majdi%20Mohammed%2FAP-,Palestinians%20inspect%20a%20damaged%20building%20following%20an%20Israeli%20army%20raid,24%2C%202023

 

     Right off the bat, it is plain to see, from this article, that the attacks on Israeli targets which were carried out by Hamas over the last several days, were, most assuredly, not "surprise attacks", but were carried out in response to the strikes on Gaza which occurred on September 22nd, 23rd, and 24th, 2023.

     Despite this fact, the Israelis - and Israel-sympathetic media - have been quick to point out that the attacks which occurred in the first week of October, were (apparently) timed to coincide with the fiftieth anniversary of the Yom Kippur War, which began on October 6th, 1973.

     But if these attacks were, in fact, timed to coincide with that anniversary, then that narrative would not make sense, if it could be proven that there had been exchanges of violence in the previous two weeks leading up to that October 6th anniversary.

     In fact, if you read the article that N.P.R. published on September 24th, you will find that – in the very first sentence of the article – it reads: 

     “Israeli airstrikes struck militant sites in Gaza on Sunday for the third straight day, the Israeli military said, after Palestinian militants near the border fence launched incendiary balloons into Israel and threw an explosive at soldiers.” [emphasis mine]


      [Correction, written and posted on October 20th, 2023:

     The aforementioned incendiary balloons might not have taken place before those "three straight days" of Israeli attacks, after all.
     The following article from Al Jazeera clarifies that the recent violence began when "stone-throwing protesters" in Palestine threw stones at Israeli soldiers, prompting the closing of the Beit Hanouna border crossing between Israel and Gaza, which itself prompted Palestinians' launching of incendiary balloons into Israel.
     This article also mentions that Israel killed 12 Palestinians in Jenin in July, which runs contrary to the mainstream media narrative that there was no violence between Israel and Palestine between May 2023 and October 7th, 2023.
     You can read that article by clicking on the following link:
     http://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/9/22/israeli-military-attacks-gaza-strip-amid-protests-at-border]

     

     This suggests that the Israeli airstrikes were carried out in response to the aforementioned border violence (although it’s not clear exactly which day those incendiary balloons were launched).

     This shows why it is important to read articles about the Israeli-Arab conflict very carefully.
     Especially because there’s no indication that those incendiary balloons (which started two fires within the State of Israel’s borders) – nor that explosive which was thrown at I.D.F. soldiers – killed or injured anybody.
     I suspect that, if these bombs had killed anybody, then the articles reporting on it, would have mentioned that fact.

 

     We might feel tempted to conclude - from the information above - that those late-September Israeli airstrikes killed Palestinians in response to Palestinian bomb-throwing that killed nobody.

     But that is not accurate either.

     If N.P.R.’s reporting is correct, then so is the sentence from the fourth paragraph in that article, which reads as follows: 

     “There were no reported casualties from the strikes in Gaza.”

 

     Let us assume - for a moment - that “no reported casualties” means “no casualties occurred”, rather than that casualties on the Gazan side occurred but were simply not reported.

     If that is an accurate assumption, then this would mean that the late-September Palestinian bomb-throwing killed zero people, and then was met with Israeli retaliation that also killed zero people.

 

     On March 11th, 2004, nearly two hundred people were killed, and over two thousand people were injured, in a series of coordinated bombings upon the commuter train system in Madrid, the capital city of Spain.

     Shortly thereafter, my high school Spanish teacher, Ken Finkelstein, told us that the people of Spain responded to these attacks by calling for peace and forgiveness. He contrasted this against America’s response to the terrorist attacks of September 11th, 2001, after which President George W. Bush declared “the world will hear from all of us soon”. This statement foreshadowed America’s invasion of Afghanistan the following month, and its invasion of Iraq eighteen months later.

     My teacher’s statement affected me profoundly, and (obviously) I still remember it to this day. And I agree that there is a time for forgiveness. Although it may be difficult to forgive atrocities which see hundreds of deaths (as in the Madrid train bombings) or even thousands of deaths (as in 9/11), it is much easier to forgive attempted acts of violence which result in zero deaths or injuries.

     And that is what has just happened.

     Both sides – Israeli and Palestinian – have just declined to forgive attacks, by one-another, which (evidently) resulted in zero injuries or deaths.

 

     I would never condemn someone for defending oneself; even if it’s an individual human being, or a political entity which claims to have the right to use violence legitimately. But self-defense is far from what is happening here.

     Yesterday (October 7th, 2023), The Times of Israel reported that 1,600 people are wounded, and that at least 230 people are dead, in Gaza, following Israel’s attacks.
     http://www.timesofisrael.com/gaza-reports-some-200-palestinians-dead-1600-wounded-after-hamas-assault-on-israel/

     An article, published today (October 8th) by A.B.C., stated that 1,790 Gazans are wounded, and over 300 Gazans are dead; while Israeli death tolls number over 100, with some 900 Israelis injured.

     http://abcnews.go.com/International/live-updates/israel-gaza-hamas/?id=103804516

     This article from N.D.T.V. claims that six hundred Israelis have been killed in the fighting.
     http://www.ndtv.com/world-news/hamas-rocket-attack-on-israel-israel-gaza-conflict-palestine-over-500-dead-in-hamas-surprise-land-air-sea-attack-on-israel-4460666

     If the worst of these reports is accurate, then this means that at least 900 people are now dead because of both the Israelis’ and the Palestinians’ refusal to forgive attacks that killed nobody at all.

 

     Throwing a bomb at someone does not automatically mean that the target was killed or harmed in any way. We have to read these reports more closely, instead of lashing out, and killing by reflex.

     We have no choice, now, but to forgive attacks that harm nobody; or else we should expect the bloodshed to continue into the holiday season.

     Thus, the only alternative to forgiving casualty-free attacks, is to endorse the murder of not only our enemies, but ourselves.

      As musician Kimya Dawson sang – in her song “Hold My Hand” – “the cycle of violence has to end somewhere”.

Witalij Martynow Repackages Rebirthing Therapy as "Breathwork Therapy", Which Involves Partial Suffocation

      A maniacal quack named Witalij Martynow is currently touring America, promoting "breathwork therapy", a therapeutic practice that involves what he describes as "intermittent hypoxia" (a/k/a choking people half to death).

     He claims that temporary oxygen deprivation is good for the blood, in the same way that hunger is good for digestive health.

 

     What his followers fail to realize is that Martynow's therapeutic technique is basically the same thing as rebirthing therapy, which was invented and pioneered by Dr. Leonard Orr in the 1970s. Orr is now widely considered a "crazy hippie".

     Rebirthing therapy is basically breathwork therapy plus surrounding people in pillows and blankets. And people are, indeed, (partially, but not completely) surrounded by pillows and blankets, as a part of Martynow's breathwork therapy today.

     The similarities don't end there. Martynow's patients are in denial of the fact that patients are being actively restrained; by having their chests pushed down. People are held down; yet patients claim they are "free to leave at any time".
     Moreover, i
n 2022, a Reddit user named “warpedhands” claimed to have been a patient of Witalij’s, and said that Witalij “helps prevent you from giving up or stopping out of fear.”


 

     There are also stills, in these promotional videos, of a woman holding a trash bucket next to her face, as if she's about to vomit.
     According to Martynow's website, vomiting is a common side effect of consumption of ayahuasca.

     Similarly, the original rebirthing therapy involved induced vomiting.

 

 

     Rebirthing therapy is designed to simulate being born, as a way to make a child feel as if their new parents are giving birth to them again. The stated purpose was to help the child form attachment with the new caregivers.

      Rebirthing, breathwork, and similar techniques employed by Dr. Neil Feinberg, are intended to treat a variety of ailments; most importantly; Reactive Attachment Disorder (R.A.D.). This is a (probably made-up) disorder in which a child who is adopted, fails to form a proper attachment with his new parents.

     Dr. Neil Feinberg even traumatized a child who had previous sexual abuse trauma, by screaming at him, poking him in the chest, and forcing the child to admit that he hated Dr. Feinberg. Feinberg thus attempted to treat revulsion towards forced sexual touching, with more forced touching. Feinberg's therapy was called Coercive Restraint Therapy (C.R.T.).

     Even worse, a 10-year-old girl named Candace Newmaker DIED in a rebirthing therapy session in Colorado in the year 2000. She was surrounded by blankets, and gave repeated warnings that she was vomiting inside the mess of blankets, and that she had to defecate. She died from a combination of asphyxiation and inhaling the smell of her own vomit and shit.

     Republican Bill Owens, then Governor of Colorado, signed a statewide ban against rebirthing therapy shortly thereafter.

     Curiously, Martynow's American tour does not include any dates in Colorado.


     Maybe he has done his research, and knows that his techniques are probably too similar to rebirthing therapy to be considered legal in that state.

 


     Martynow claims, in his promotional internet posts, that "no substances are consumed during these sessions". However, his critics have pointed out that some patients in these sessions have been seen consuming the hallucinogenic herb ayahuasca (an allegation which Martynow freely admits is true on his website). It's not clear what percentage of patients are expected to consume ayahuasca as part of these sessions, nor whether the consumption of ayahuasca is optional.

     Additionally, Martynow's patients include African-Americans, whom are disproportionately predisposed to being afflicted with sickle-cell anemia, a disease characterized by a deficiency of oxygen in the blood cells. Martynow has, apparently, made no attempts to warn his patients that they should not do breathwork therapy if they have sickle-cell.

 

  

     Tragically, it seems that the therapeutic community has learned nothing over the last fifty years. This repackaging of rebirthing therapy is an attempt to heal people through re-traumatizing them; it is trauma bonding.

     I have even spoken to a patient of Martynow's, named Soleil, who believes that, if someone dies in these sessions, then there is not necessarily any causal relationship between the suffocation and the death, and it is simply that person's time to go.

     Evidently, some of these "patients" (read: followers) are already okay with being killed in these sessions, even before their deaths occur.

     Thus, breathwork and rebirthing therapy bear all the hallmark signs of being a cult.

 

  

     Scam artists like Martynow will get away with killing people if this is not stopped.

      Update:

 

     Just a few hours after posting this article, I discovered the Facebook page of yet another therapeutic workshop which is similar to the aforementioned forms of therapy; and this one explicitly uses the phrase "rebirth".

     It is called "Intuitive Rebirth".

     It seems that this form of "therapy" is spreading like wildfire. We must stop this before it is too late.
