LOUDER THAN LIES

Jeffrey Epstein is dead. But the architecture that protected him — and the silence that followed — is very much alive. In this episode of Louder Than Lies, we dissect the Epstein case not as a closed chapter, but as a living blueprint: a playbook for how power shields itself, how institutions perform accountability, and how memory is managed in the public square.“The billionaire had money and political connections but authorities say he also liked young, underage girls”We trace the contours of a network that spanned billionaires, intelligence assets, and global elites — a network that didn’t collapse with Epstein’s death, but instead receded into shadow. From sealed court documents and strategic plea deals to the media’s selective amnesia, this episode asks: who gets protected, who gets erased, and who decides what justice looks like?This isn’t just about Epstein. It’s about the systems that made him possible — and the stories we’re still not allowed to tell. Thanks for reading AWFULLY POLITICAL! Subscribe for free to receive new posts and support our work.

Alberta. The beating heart of Canada’s oil patch. The province that fuels a nation- and sometimes, threatens to walk away from it. Alberta’s frustration with Ottawa is real - but the dream of secession? That’s where reality slams into the Canadian Constitution. Let’s discuss the fantasy of Western Independence- and the Canadian Constitution that says no. In this episode we break down the legal, political, and economic roadblocks standing in the way of Alberta’s independence. From the 1998 Supreme Court decision on Quebec, to the rights of Indigenous nations, to the messy reality of global recognition, we cut through the slogans and dive into the facts.Why does the myth of Western separatism persist? What would actually happen if Alberta tried to leave? And why can’t a province just vote its way out of Canada? This is a public episode.

In a world where every scroll, click, and share shapes public opinion, the feed became the battlefield, and racism went viral.

From the Freedom Convoy to the halls of Parliament, we track how a country that prides itself on "kindness" was quietly radicalized — and what it means for Canada's future.This isn’t just about broken platforms — it’s about the breaking of a nation’s conscience.
