Emirati billionaire who shared 'torture video' e-mail with Jeffrey Epstein went to Buckingham Palace with Prince William

An Emirati billionaire who is alleged to have shared a 'torture video' with paedophile Jeffrey Epstein was invited to Buckingham Palace with Prince William.

Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, the former chairman of Dubai port giant DP World, the company behind P&O Ferries and the London Gateway freeport in Thurrock, Essex, met with the royal in March 2016.

In 2009, Bin Sulayem, 70, had managed to secure funding for his London project after successfully lobbying Lord Peter Mandelson over a £1.8billion deal.

It is understood Epstein set up this meeting, shortly after he was released from prison in Florida for soliciting a minor for prostitution.

Seven years later, on March 14, 2016, Bin Sulayem asked if Prince William would like to attend the London Gateway project, alongside the former foreign secretary Lord Hague of Richmond.

And the following day Bin Sulayem, who has an estimated wealth of $7billion, joined the now-Prince of Wales for an event at Buckingham Palace.

The gathering was organised by one of the royal's charities, the United for Wildlife Transport Taskforce, The Times has reported.

Bin Sulayem was one of 40 'global transport leaders' who signed a declaration to shut down illegal wildlife trafficking routes at the event.

Emails suggest the billionaire went on to boast about his visit to Buckingham Palace to Epstein. The paedophile replied 'fun'.

Bin Sulayem was yesterday forced to step down from his role at DP World after it emerged he and Epstein had emailed and texted regularly for years.

He was initially one of the 'six wealthy, powerful men' whose identities were redacted in the documents released by the US Department of Justice, but he has since been unmasked.

In one message, Epstein asked how he was and then told him: 'I loved the torture video.'

Other emails show Bin Sulayem and Epstein frequently discussing their sexual experiences and exchanging images of women.

In one email sent in June 2013, the Emirati businessman detailed an individual's age, weight, height and bra size.

The email reads: 'Dear Jeffrey This is the one I went with in Paris do you think she is a he??'

Epstein replied: 'The hands do look like mine'.

In another email from September 2015, Bin Sulayem told Epstein about a 'girl' he was seeing and reported it was 'the best sex I ever had amazing body'.

Bin Sulayem was the chairman and chief executive of DP World for almost 20 years and he and Prince William have been seen in public together on more than one occasion.

The company is listed as a founding partner on the the Earthshot Prize website and is said to have donated at least £1million to the charity.

The Earthshot Prize was set up by Prince William in 2020 to recognise ground-breaking solutions to 'repair' and regenerate the planet.

Anti-monarchy pressure group Republic said the emails had raised questions over the relationship between Bin Sulayem and Epstein, as well as the Emirati businessman's involvement in The Earthshot Prize.

CEO Graham Smith said 'the seriousness of this matter requires a full and comprehensive investigation'.

He added: 'It is not credible to believe the Foreign Office, security services or other advisors were not aware of Sulayem's character and would have been able to advise accordingly.

'These files have been in the hands of US authorities for years. It's not believable that such intelligence would not have been shared.'

'Earthshot has a duty to do due diligence, to ask questions about donors and where money is coming from. In the context of this widening scandal we need answers.'

A Charity Commission spokesman previously said: 'We are aware of concerns about sources of funding to The Earthshot Prize.

'We are assessing this information to determine any next steps and if there is a role for the Commission.'

A source close to the Prince of Wales said that he meets hundreds of business leaders and chief executives as part of his role in the royal family.

They added that he has no relationship with Bin Sulayem beyond any 'brief, formal interactions' that take place at public events and that he was unaware of the alleged relationship between the billionaire and Epstein.

DP World has repeatedly declined to comment on alleged links between Bin Sulayem and Epstein.

Pelosi Warns of Trump ‘Surveillance’ Ahead of Midterms: ‘It’s Not Right’

Zachary Leeman Feb 14th, 2026

Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA)warned MS NOW about “surveillance by the intelligence operation” ahead of the midterm elections, telling Democrats to not “put anything past” President Donald Trump.==

Pelosi joined MS NOW’s The Weekendon Saturday from Munich where she is attending the annual Munich Security Conference. She saidshehas been ==assuring European leaders at the conference that she has “absolute certainty”

Democrats will take control of the House of Representatives— despite her many concerns about the elections. (So she admitting that dems have already rigged the 2026 elections==. She needs a thorough investigation of why she is sure dems will win!)

Pelosi saidshe is alarmed by the involvement of Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbardin a FBI raidon a polling station in Fulton County, Georgia to retrieve 2020 ballots.

She said:

I hear that all over the United States, not just in Europe,that there is concern about the election.

Let me just say that surveillance by the intelligence operation of our country, surveillancein our own country is something thatis absolutely not to be allowed. And now, if there’s some particular reason, there’s one thing,but for the for them, for Tulsi to be looking into elections is really not right.

It’s notlawful. It’s not right. KEK

But that doesn’t seem to ever bother the president.But you know what? We don’t agonize, we organize, and we have litigation. We have lawyering in terms in addition to in the courts,but at polling places and the rest, we have legislation.

Pelosi alsovowed that Democrats will fight voter ID requirementswhich the president has promised will be in effect for the midterms. The House recently passed the SAVE Act — which would require ID to vote — with one Democrat joining Republicans. It now faces an uphill battle to pass the Senate.

Her confidence in Democrats’ chances in the midterms aside,Pelosi warned Trump could deploy ICE or the National Guard to try and influence the elections.

“We’re dealing with it. And the president — people are concerned they’re going to send in ICE and the National Guard or this or that,” she argued.

“Don’t put anything past him. As we saw on January 6th when the president of the United States personally incited an insurrection in our country, he’s capable of any bad thing.”

Watch above via MS NOW.

I love that Nancy opens her decrepit mouth and tells Europeans etc, and the Trump Admin of what she’s planning!

No wonder, she’s opposed to surveillance.

Jul 20, 2019

PHOENIX — Several years have passed since Biological Resource Center shut its doors, but new court documents detail the hidden horrors investigators found inside.

Former FBI Assistant Special Agent Mark Cwynar's testimony says he observed buckets of heads, arms and legs inside the building off 24th street and University Drive.

Cwynar also said he saw a cooler filled with male genitalia, body parts piled on top of each other with no apparent identification to indicate what bodies they came from, and even a torso "with the head removed and replaced with a similar head sewn together in a Frankenstein manner."

The Federal Bureau of Investigations raided the Phoenix based body-donor facility in 2014, after allegations that the company was selling parts of those donated bodies for profit.

At least eight families say they donated the bodies of their loved ones to the facility for medical research, but are now suing the company and its ownerStephen Gorefor mishandling their corpses, and failing to meet the promises made in their consent forms.

Gore pleaded guilty, and was sentenced to probation.

Gore will appear in court in October to face several Arizona families who've filed civil suits against him and BRC.

The 1991 film Pizza Man is a low-budget political satire and neo-noir parody starring a young Bill Maher.

Plot Summary

The story follows Elmo Bunn (Maher), a Los Angeles pizza delivery man legendary for never delivering a cold pizza or failing to collect a bill. The conflict begins when Elmo is dispatched to a dangerous warehouse in East Hollywood to deliver an extra-large sausage and anchovy pizza.

When the customers refuse to pay the $15.23 bill, Elmo’s professional pride kicks in. His stubborn quest to collect the money leads him into the middle of a massive government conspiracy to take over the world.

Key Satirical Elements

As Elmo hunts for his payment, he encounters surreal, caricatured versions of major 1980s and 90s political figures:

Ronald Reagan (seen in bed with Geraldine Ferraro).

Michael Dukakis, portrayed as incredibly talkative.

Dan and Marilyn Quayle, who are the masterminds plotting the American takeover.

Donald Trump, depicted during his early rise to economic power.

Bob Woodward, the famed reporter, who is portrayed as desperate for a new book deal.

UNHCR seeks support for solutions as 5.4 million Afghans return since late 2023

GENEVA – UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, continues to observe significant numbers of Afghans returning or being forced to return from neighbouring countries in extremely difficult circumstances.

So far this year, nearly 150,000 Afghans have returned from Iran and Pakistan. These arrivals come on top of already unprecedented returns – 2.9 million people in 2025, bringing the total to some 5.4 million since October 2023.

The speed and scale of these returns have pushed Afghanistan deeper into crisis, as the country continues toface a deteriorating humanitarian and human rights situation– particularly for women and girls – a fragile economy, and recurring natural disasters. According to a recent World Bank report, the rapid population growth fuelled by the returns led to a 4 per cent decline in GDP per capita in 2025.

The high number of returns already this year is concerning given the severity of winter, with freezing temperatures and heavy snowfall across much of the country.

Our recent survey of returnees highlights the scale of challenges they face. Just over half reported being able to find some form of work, even if informal. For women, this figure drops to less than a quarter.More than half of returnee families report having no civil documentation– for example, identity cards to prove who they are or where they are from – and more than 90 per cent are living on less than $5 a day.

We are deeply concerned about the sustainability of these returns.While 5 per cent of returnees surveyed say they intend to leave Afghanistan again, more than 10 per cent know a relative or community member who has already left since returning. These decisions are not driven by a desire to leave, but by the reality that many are unable to rebuild a viable and dignified life.

There are pockets of hope. We have seenthat the socio-economic profile of returnees is evolving, with those who returned in 2025 generally having higher levels of education and labour market participation. With sustainable livelihood opportunities, returnees can apply their skills and experience and contribute to stabilization.

This year, our focus is on supporting the reintegration of returnees. We have the access, presence and experience over the last four decades in Afghanistan to deliver the assistance that communities say they most need, including protection services, housing and livelihood support, particularly for women.

With other UN agencies and partners, UNHCR is closely monitoring the regional situation,where asylum space continues to shrink and regulated migration pathways narrow. Afghans increasingly feel compelled to undertake dangerous onward journeys. We remain prepared to respond to population movements into Afghanistan,while also continuing to call on States to uphold access to asylum, protect and assist Afghan refugees, and ensure no one is returned to where their rights and freedoms are at risk.

With this dire humanitarian situation and rapidly increasing population, additional support is urgently needed in 2026 to scale up assistance and invest in reintegration, allowing people to rebuild their lives with dignity, hope and stability.For 2026, UNHCR needs $216 million to support displaced people and returnees across Afghanistan. Our response is currently just 8 per cent funded.

This is a critical moment to act while there is an opportunity to find long-term solutions andresolve displacement for Afghan returnees in their homeland, often after years or decades in exile.

OpenAI has deleted the word ‘safely’ from its mission – and its new structure is a test for whether AI serves society or shareholders

(Long article, must read)

Published: February 13, 2026

OpenAI, the maker of the most popular AI chatbot, used to say it aimed to build artificial intelligence that “safely benefits humanity, unconstrained by a need to generate financial return,” according to its 2023 mission statement. But the ChatGPT maker seems to no longer have the same emphasis on doing so “safely.”

While reviewing its latest IRS disclosure form, which was released in November 2025 and covers 2024, I noticed OpenAI had removed “safely” from its mission statement, among other changes. That change in wording coincided with its transformation from a nonprofit organization into a business increasingly focused on profits.

OpenAI currently faces several lawsuits related to its products’ safety, making this change newsworthy. Many of the plaintiffs suing the AI company allege psychological manipulation, wrongful death and assisted suicide, while others have filed negligence claims.

As a scholar of nonprofit accountability and the governance of social enterprises, I see the deletion of the word “safely” from its mission statement as a significant shift that has largely gone unreported – outside highly specialized outlets.

And I believe OpenAI’s makeover is a test case for how we, as a society, oversee the work of organizations that have the potential to both provide enormous benefits and do catastrophic harm.

Tracing OpenAI’s origins

OpenAI, which also makes the Sora video artificial intelligence app, was founded as a nonprofit scientific research lab in 2015. Its original purpose was to benefit society by making its findings public and royalty-free rather than to make money.

To raise the money that developing its AI models would require, OpenAI, under the leadership of CEO Sam Altman, created a for-profit subsidiary in 2019. Microsoft initially invested US$1 billion in this venture; by 2024 that sum had topped $13 billion.

In exchange, Microsoft was promised a portion of future profits, capped at 100 times its initial investment. But the software giant didn’t get a seat on OpenAI’s nonprofit board – meaning it lacked the power to help steer the AI venture it was funding.

A subsequent round of funding in late 2024, which raised $6.6 billion from multiple investors, came with a catch: that the funding would become debt unless OpenAI converted to a more traditional for-profit business in which investors could own shares, without any caps on profits, and possibly occupy board seats.

Establishing a new structure

In October 2025, OpenAI reached an agreement with the attorneys general of California and Delaware to become a more traditional for-profit company.

Under the new arrangement, OpenAI was split into two entities: a nonprofit foundation and a for-profit business….

As i had no idea what to look for in the Epstein files, i thought: "fuck" - and thats what i started searching. Besides "getting fucked" physically or business-wise i found several mails between Jeffrey Epstein and (i guess) a girl. Over the period of a few months (between 12/2011 and 03/2012) JE gave her multiple sexual tipps what to do, she gave feedback. Nothing special you think? Nope! Her "target" was the "Sasha Grey guy". She was (proud to be) his slave multiple times, did BJs, anal, toys, ... not sure how it ended, but inside the files i couldn't figure out who the "Sasha Grey guy" is...

I did some research and found this article from TMZ from 2014: https://www.tmz.com/2014/08/08/sasha-grey-restraining-order-porn-boyfriend-spy-agent-dia/

It says:

"Sasha Grey says she was lured into porn by a violent and abusive ex-BF- who convinced her he was a military spy who needed her for "cover" ... and now she fears he's come back to hurt her.

Grey claims in new court docs Ian Cinnamon subjected Grey to years of abuse and sexual assaults - starting in 2005 when she was 16 and he was 29."

I start to see patterns here... underaged girl got SAed...

Jeffrey Epstein said he met Sasha Grey: https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet%209/EFTA00707788.pdf

Back to "Ian Cinnamon": He is not in the files!

The first guy i found was NOT the one in a relationship with Sasha Grey, but still interesting:

He was the CEO and Co-Founder of APEX SPACE - and also the Founder of Synapse Technology - which was sold in 2020... to PALANTIR!

Also both his companies are not in the files...

The second guys full name is "Ian Preston Cinnamon" - he was the guy in a relationship with Sasha Grey:

A filmmaker, regisseur, cameraman and musician, born on March 21, 1975, in Sacramento, California.

I couldn't find anything else about that guy and i'm not 100% sure that he is the "Sasha Grey guy" mentioned in the Epstein files, but he and JE obviously are interested in underaged girls, SA them, both know Sasha Grey, ...

The girl Epstein wrote with mentioned this:

"The Sasha Grey guy said I should become part of the Davos young global shapers. His attitude changed a lot with your teachings. That's crazy. Thank you! Clifford is opening a new office in Casablanca so I went to the responsible partner and asked if I could work there and help them to build it up - they were quite surprised. My internship in Paris will be probably extended."

Any Ideas about that? Couldn't find anything related to Young Global Shapers, Casablanca or Clifford yet...

Floodgates closed: 8 in 10 asylum seekers now booted by judges as Trump attempts to restore borders

By Geoff Earle and David Feb. 14, 2026, 8:30 a.m. ET

Nearly 80 percent of migrants seeking asylum in the US were sent packing in the last quarter, as immigration judges take a tougher line under the Trump administration, which has made it a priority to restore the border.

In that same span there’s been an accompanying spike in deportations. In December, there were 38,215 illegal migrants given the boot, 50% above the 19,265 in December 2023 under President Joe Biden and 35% more than the 24,979 in December 2024, according to data compiled by Syracuse University’s Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse.

And the enforcement has been sustained, with more than 30,000 deportations every month since Trump took office.

“It’s having a real impact. The Trump Administration is doing all kinds of things to drive down the asylum grant rate,” said Andrew Arthur, a fellow at the Center for Immigration Policy and a former immigration judge.

Michael Cutler, who spent 30 years as an agent at the former Immigration and Naturalization Services, cheered the return of common-sense border policy.

“If you look at what asylum is supposed to be, it’s a very narrow definition . . . You have to be able to demonstrate a credible fear and be able to articulate that credible fear of persecution,” he told The Post.

It’s not because there’s a gang that’s doing business down the block or you can’t stand your mother in law or you can’t find a job,” he added.

The hard line is a far cry from the open-door border policy of the Biden years, which saw judges granting a staggering 50% of asylum claims in May 2022, during a year when Customs and Border Protection reported a record-breaking total of 2.76 million people crossed the southern border.

“We could afford to take in a heartbeat, another 4 million people,” Biden said at an Iowa campaign event in 2019. “The idea that a country of 330 million people cannot absorb people who are in desperate need and who are justifiably fleeing oppression is absolutely bizarre.”

Trump tapped into the public outrage by using his campaign rallies to highlight senseless killings of Americans like Laken Riley, who was killed by an illegal migrant while jogging at the University of Georgia in 2024.

Last year, Victor Martinez-Hernandez, an illegal migrant from El Salvador was given a life sentence for the 2023 savage rape and murder of Maryland mom of five Rachel Morin.

“That’s what American voted for, they voted for safety… this is the top issue that got him elected, and he’s keeping his word,” Rachel’s mom Patricia Morin told The Post this week.

“We have all these unvetted people that are here in America and we don’t know if they really are who they say they are.”

She continued: “Democrats keep talking about how bad all this is and it’s not compassionate, but it’s not virtue when you only give compassion to the criminal and don’t give a second thought to the victim who has died.”

Maureen Maloney, who has pushed for tighter borders since the death of her son Matthew Denice, 23, who was killed in Milford, Mass. by a drunk-driving illegal migrant from Ecuador in 2011.

“What Biden did to this country with the open borders was treason and Americans will be paying the price for many years to come,” said Maloney, vice president of the group Advocates for Victims of Illegal Alien Crime.

“It’s impossible for President Trump to deport however many millions of illegal aliens that have come across the border during the Biden administration,” she told The Post.

Plummeting asylum approvals mirror the rising public frustration over illegal immigration. Asylum grant rates remained at 50 percent much of 2023 — as Customs and Border Patrol reported being swamped by more than 2.4 million migrants at the Southwest border with 3.2 million so-called “encounters” nationwide.

Only when national polls showed in August 2023 that 70% of Americans disapproved of Biden’s handling of the border — and as he geared up for an ultimately disastrous run at a second term — did the number of asylum grants decline slightly. By 2024, the rate was 40%.

A December Department of Homeland Security release said there were average apprehensions at the border of just 245 per day – a stunning 95% drop from the average during the Biden administration of 5,110 per day.

Asylum decisions are made in immigration courts overseen by officials designated by the Justice Department, who collectively shape the numbers. The Trump administration has been stocking immigration courts with judges from military backgrounds. This month DOJ hired 33 new immigration judges, after hiring 36 in October.

The Pentagon has also been reassigning Judge Advocate General lawyers from the military to immigration courts for temporary assignments to address the backlog…WTF? .
