Republican US Representative Thomas Massie said on 10 February that prominent Emirati businessman Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem was the sender of the “torture video” received by convicted pedophile, sex trafficker, financier, and intelligence asset Jeffrey Epstein.

The revelation comes after several US representatives obtained access to unredacted parts of Epstein’s emails from the Department of Justice (DOJ).

“In response to my posts on X today, DOJ unredacted an FBI file that LABELS two individuals as co-conspirators, unredacted a file that lists several men who might be implicated, and tacitly admitted that Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem was the sender of the torture video,” Massie said on X.

“Until tonight no one knew who sent the torture video to Epstein. I went to DOJ, unredacted the email, and reverse searched the email to discover it was a Sultans. Our law requires VICTIM’s information to be redacted, not information of men who sent Epstein torture porn!”

Earlier, Massie wrote on social media that “a Sultan seems to have sent” the email to Epstein.

The email in question is part of the recent flood of shocking releases made by the DOJ, relating to Epstein and his close ties with prominent figures across the globe – including US President Donald Trump, former Israeli premier Ehud Barak, Prince Andrew of the UK, and others.

“Where are you? Are you ok, I loved the torture video,” Epstein wrote in the mail.

The person whose name has been redacted in the files made public responded saying, “I am in china I will be in the US 2nd week of May.”

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche also said on Tuesday that Sulayem’s name was available unredacted in file EFTA00666117.

The Epstein files have recently revealed other confirmed correspondences between the late pedophile and the Emirati businessman, some of which related to sexual matters.

In September 2015, Sulayem wrote to Epstein about a foreign exchange student at a Dubai university, saying, “She got engaged but now she back with me. Amazing body, best sex I’ve ever had.”

Sulayem is the CEO of multinational logistics firm DP World, which specializes in port terminal operations and maritime services, among other things.

Several images have been released of Sulayem and Epstein together.

The recent DOJ releases have reinforced, if not confirmed, the belief that Epstein worked for the Mossad, despite some who have tried to label him as a Russian asset.

A declassified FBI memo released on 30 January states that Trump was “compromised by Israel,” that Epstein was an Israeli intelligence agent, and that a Jewish religious movement, Chabad Lubavitch, had coopted Trump’s presidency.

Trump is mentioned thousands of times in the Epstein files. Documents released last month included allegations that the US president raped a 13-year-old girl.

Watch the guy who disarmed one of the shooters

Real fucking hero. He was shot twice during the scuffle and was in surgery expected to survive.

His name is Ahmed al Ahmed. Found the footage of his relative being interviewed and he is named. Saw it early in Aussie news, can’t remember if it was 9 News or ABC (Australia Broadcasting)

Three Arrested in HK High Rise Fire

HONG KONG (AP) — Hong Kong’s deadliest fire in decades burned through the night, leaving at least 44 people dead and 279 reported missing with rescuers still pulling residents from blazing high-rise apartment buildings into the morning.

Police had arrested three men on suspicion of manslaughter in connection with fire which began Wednesday afternoon in a housing complex in Tai Po district, a suburb in the New Territories. By Thursday morning local time, the fire was yet to be put out and rescues continued.

Hundreds of residents were evacuated as the fire spread across seven of the eight towers in the Wang Fuk Court complex, as bright flames and smoke shot out of windows.

Forty of the 44 fatalities were declared dead at the scene, officials said. At least 62 others were injured, many suffering from burn and inhalation injuries.

Authorities suspected some materials on the exterior walls of the high-rise buildings did not meet fire resistance standards, as the rapid spread of the fire was unusual.

Police also said they found Styrofoam materials – that are highly flammable – outside the windows on each floor near the lift lobby of the one unaffected tower, believed to be installed by a construction company.

“We have reason to believe that those in charge of the construction company were grossly negligent,” said Eileen Chung, a senior superintendent of police. The three men arrested, aged 52 to 68, are the directors and an engineering consultant of the firm.

The fire at four of the buildings was “coming under control” by Thursday morning, according to the Fire Services Department.

Several other articles linked here as well. Videos were horrifying. Seven of the eight towers went up. Immediately reminded me of the 2017 Grenfell Tower Fire

The lineup features Dave Chappelle, Louis CK, Bill Burr, Kevin Hart, Whitney Cummings, Pete Davidson, Aziz Ansari and Jo Koy, among many others who are all taking their fees directly from the Saudi government.

Burr being on that list surprises me, but it said he’s also been to UAE. Davidson is pissing on his father’s grave.

They have also taken flak from their peers. “The same guy that’s gonna pay them is the same guy that paid that guy to bone-saw Jamal Khashoggi and put him in a fucking suitcase,” said Marc Maron in a standup clip posted on his Facebook.

Exactly.

Greedy fucks, all of them.
