«Алпамы́ш» (, , , , , , , ) — батыр (герой-богатырь), центральный персонаж одноимённого эпоса тюркских народов: казахов, каракалпаков, узбеков, также башкир, татар, кыргызов, западносибирских татар, алтайцев.

История

В среднеазиатских версиях эпоса Алпамыш (с которыми в основных чертах совпадают башкирская, казанско-татарская и алтайская) Алпамыш чудесным образом после вмешательства святого — дивана рождается у бездетного главы племени кунграт. Святой-покровитель наделяет его также магической неуязвимостью. По велению свыше Алпамыш с колыбели обручён с красавицей Барчин. Отец Барчин поссорился с отцом Алпамыша и откочевал со своим родом в страну калмыков. Калмыцкие богатыри пытаются заставить Барчин выйти замуж за одного из них. Узнав об этом, Алпамыс отправляется к ней на помощь. Победив соперников в состязаниях, он женится на Барчин и увозит её на родину. Вскоре, узнав, что тесть терпит притеснения от калмыков, Алпамыш совершает новый поход в их страну, но попадает в плен и семь лет проводит в подземной темнице. Бежав оттуда, он возвращается домой и узнаёт, что новый правитель вверг его семью в нищету и пытается заставить Барчин стать его женой, а свадьба назначена на тот же день. Неузнанный, Алпамыс проникает на свадебный пир и, оказавшись единственным, кто смог натянуть старый богатырский лук Алпамыш, побеждает в состязаниях в стрельбе. Будучи затем узнан, он вместе с друзьями истребляет своих врагов и вновь объединяет народ под своей властью.

Сюжет эпоса об Алпамыше восходит к мифологии древних тюркских народов. Полагают, что наиболее архаичные представления об Алпамыше зафиксированы в алтайской богатырской сказке «Алып-Манаш», где герой наделён чертами шамана, а страна, в которую он направляется за невестой, — признаками потустороннего мира, лежащего за недоступным водным рубежом царства мёртвых. Следы шаманского обличья Алпамыша сохранил также в некоторых версиях башкирского сказания «Алпамыша и Барсынхылу». «Из девяти овчин не вышла шапка, из девяноста овчин не вышла шуба» (для Алпамыша), — говорится в нём; так же описывается и шаманский дух-помощник у казахов, киргизов, алтайцев.

В Академии наук Республики Узбекистан в Ташкенте хранится более десяти записей этой поэмы в исполнении выдающихся народных сказителей Самаркандской и Бухарской, Сурхандарьинской и Кашкадарьинской, Ферганской и Ташкентской областей. Из них самая полная и художественно совершенная версия «Алпамыша» принадлежит старейшему и наиболее прославленному узбекскому сказителю наших дней Фазилу Юлдош-олгы (Юлдош-оглы). Версия Юлдош-олгы, опубликованная в 1938 году под редакцией поэта Хамида Алимджана, положена в основу первого перевода на русский язык Л. M. Пеньковского). Всего известно более 40 узбекских версий «Алпамыша», в том числе версия Берды-бахши, записанная Абдуллой Алави.

В начале XV в. Белая Орда распалась на ряд улусов, важнейшими из которых был узбекский улус и мангытско-ногайский улус во главе с золотоордынским темником Эдигэ и его потомками. В среде кочевых узбеков шейбани сформировался знаменитый эпос об Алпамыше, а в обширном ареале ногайской орды — эпические сказания об Эдигэ и ногайских богатырях. «Алпамыш» вырос, по-видимому, из сказочно-богатырской архаической эпики, а ногайлинский цикл — в результате взаимодействия архаической эпики и исторических преданий. Кочевые узбеки XV в., в частности кунграты, вождём которых эпос делает Алпамыша, приняли участие в формировании не только узбеков, но и казахов и каракалпаков, и потому устный эпос об Алпамыше бытует как у узбеков (в основу перевода Л. Пеньковского положен классический вариант, записанный от узбекского сказителя Фазиля Юлдош-оглы), так и у каракалпаков и казахов. Сказание об Алпамыше знают также башкиры, казанские татары, алтайцы, таджики, среднеазиатские арабы, его следы мы находим и в огузском эпосе.

Поэмы ногайлинского цикла распространены у различных народов, исторически связанных с ногайской ордой и кипчаками: у казахов, каракалпаков, ногайцев Северного Кавказа, а также западносибирских и крымских татар, узбеков. Кроме того, каракалпаки имеют свой особый обширный эпос «Кырк-Кыз». В. М. Жирмунский полагает, что сказание об Алпамыше первоначально возникло в предгорьях Алтая ещё в эпоху Тюркского каганата и что к древнейшей стадии ближе всего стоит алтайский Алып-Манаш. Сказание об Алпамыше было в IX—X вв. занесено из предгорий Алтая в низовья Сырдарьи огузами, у которых оно получило самостоятельное развитие и вошло впоследствии в эпический цикл Салор-Казана (рассказ о Бамси-Байреке в книге «Китаб-и дэдэм Коркут»). Другая версия этого сказания была занесена кипчакскими племенами в Казахстан, Башкирию и на Волгу. Её отражают башкирская, казахская и татарская прозаические сказки.

Cюжет возник в Средней Азии и впоследствии распространился в Малую Азию, на Волгу и Алтай. Героическая эпопея об Алпамыше сложилась именно в Средней Азии. В. М. Жирмунский, считал, что ядром эпоса являются не исторические предания, а древняя богатырская сказка. Отсюда — черты неуязвимого алпа у Алпамыша, мотив рождения героя у пожилых родителей, долго остававшихся бездетными, образ любящей сестры — помощницы Калдыргач (ср. бурятские улигеры и т. п.), некоторые черты богатырской девы у Барчин — невесты Алпамыша, фигура деда Култая, восходящего к старому табунщику Ак-Сакалу из архаической тюркской эпики, старуха-ведьма Сурхайиль — мать вражеских богатырей-великанов и т. п. И в дальнейшем семейно-родовые отношения составляют основной источник героического пафоса, но сюжет вставляется в историческую раму калмыцких войн.

Последние эпизоды эпоса, связанные темой «муж на свадьбе своей жены», близко напоминают сходные мотивы в азиатском фольклоре, например в Гэсэриаде, и в ещё большей мере — гомеровскую «Одиссею» (В. М. Жирмунский допускает наличие общего восточного источника).

Героика «Алпамыша» чаще всего проявляется в ритуальных состязаниях. Войны с калмыками в «Алпамыше» не выходят за рамки родовых стычек. Героический характер Алпамыша даёт себя знать не столько в гневе, сколько в высоком чувстве собственного достоинства, в верности родовому и семейному долгу. Борьба с Ултаном рисуется не как распря, а как восстановление «естественного» социального порядка, племенной гармонии. Здесь много бытовых сцен и эпизодов, включающих в эпос наряду с героикой и комическую стихию. Гротеск и другие виды комизма допускаются при изображении врагов Алпамыша (неуклюжие великаны, косноязычная и чванливая старуха и т. п.).

Происхождение

В узбекской, каракалпакской и казахской версиях «Алпамыш» — эпос племени кунграт. Герой и его возлюбленная, их семья и родичи принадлежат к «шестнадцатиколенному племени Кунграт» (то есть к племени, состоящему из шестнадцати родов). Племя Кунграт, во главе которого стоит Байбури, а потом его сын Алпамыш, — это родное племя Алпамыша, с которым его связывает кровное родство, «кочевья Кунграта» — это его родина, по которой он тоскует в своём изгнании.

Племя Кунграт впервые появляется в среднеазиатских степях в эпоху монгольского завоевания (начало XIII века). Во всех трёх версиях поэмы кочевья кунгратцев расположены в местности Байсун (на юге Узбекистана, к северу от города Термеза, в нынешней Сурхандарьинской области). Здесь же следует искать те «пастбища на берегах Аму», где, согласно узбекской поэме, пасутся стада Алпамыша.

Тема борьбы с калмыками в эпосе среднеазиатских народов является историческим воспоминанием времён ойратского (калмыцкого) кочевого государства в степях Джунгарии (в Западной Монголии). Жестокие набеги калмыков на среднеазиатские степи продолжались с XV до середины XVIII века. Казахские версии больше связаны с событиями XVII века, когда калмыки вытеснили казахов из Семиречья: ставка калмыцкого хана находилась на южном берегу реки Или, следовательно недалеко от хребта Алатау, через который Байсары и Алпамыш переезжают на своём пути в страну калмыков.

Отметим интересную историческую подробность: калмыцкие удельные князья носили титул «тайчжи», а царевичи из правящего рода, возводившие себя к Чингис-хану, именовались «хун-тайчжи». Собственное имя калмыцкого хана в «Алпамыше» Тайча-хан является отражением этого феодального титула.

Исторические события калмыцких войн связаны с окончательным распадом в XV веке Монгольской империи, основанной Чингис-ханом, и государств её ближайших наследников — 3олотой орды на западе и государства тимуридов на востоке (в Средней Азии), — а также с образованием на их развалинах новых племенных и государственных объединений народов, кочевавших в то время на широких пространствах «кипчакских степей», от Волги и Урала до Иссык-Куля (ногайцев, казахов, каракалпаков, кочевых узбеков и киргизов), Для всех упомянутых народов эта эпоха связана с ростом исторического и государственного сознания, а борьба за родные кочевья с чужеземными насильниками и завоевателями-калмыками является одним из существенных элементов в развитии этого народного самосознания, отражённого в эпосе. Главными врагами, с которыми борются богатыри в героическом эпосе народов Средней Азии, защищая свою родину, почти всегда являются «язычники»-калмыки.

В кунгратско-байсунской редакции «Алпамыша» война с калмыками отражается в сюжете брачных состязаний богатыря Алпамыша с калмыцкими женихами-насильниками.

«Алпамыш» сложился среди степных кочевников-скотоводов, живших в условиях патриархальных родоплеменных отношений. С точки зрения социальных отношений заслуживает внимания и завязка сюжета — конфликт между братьями Байбури и Байсары (в варианте Фазила). Байбури, как старший в роде, требует от своего младшего брата уплаты подати, согласно мусульманскому праву («зякет»). «Уплата зякета являлась показателем признания подданства тому, кому зякет платился». Байсары отвергает это требование как новшество, неслыханное среди кунгратов и нарушающее свободу патриархальных родовых отношений. Натуральная или денежная подать, уплачиваемая главе рода, который тем самым хочет стать для своих сородичей государем («шахом», как именуется Байбури y Фазила), представляет характерный признак разложения патриархально-родовых отношений и зарождения государства. «В Средней Азии пережитки военной демократии — наследие кочевого быта — столкнулись с формами гораздо более высокой государственности, которые, по мере укрепления феодальных отношений в среде кочевников, прочно усваиваются ими».

Таким образом, можно считать, что известная нам последняя редакция «Алпамыша» в основных своих чертах, сохранённых современной устной традицией, сложилась среди узбекского кочевого племени Кунграт на историческом фоне враждебных столкновений между калмыками и народами Средней Азии. Однако древний народный эпос в условиях многовековой устной передачи обычно проходит через ряд последовательных переоформлений, и в данном случае также «байсунской» редакции «Алпамыша» предшествовала другая, более древняя, которую кунгратцы принесли в Южный Узбекистан со своих прежних кочевий в районе Аральского моря.

Среди памятников эпического творчества тюркского народа огузов, переведённых академиком В. В. Бартольдом по рукописи XVI века, озаглавленной «Книга моего деда Коркуда» («Китаби деде Коркуд»), имеется «Рассказ о Бамси-Бейреке, сыне Кам-Бури», который совпадает с «Алпамышем» по сюжету и именам некоторых действующих лиц. В этом огузском варианте"Алпамыша" нет ни Кунграта, ни локализации действия в Байсуне, ни калмыцкой темы, а вместо брачных состязаний между женихами выступает более архаический мотив — состязание жениха с невестой, богатырской девой (в верховой езде, стрельбе из лука и борьбе).

Существуют также современные народные сказки о богатыре Алпамыше, записанные в нескольких вариантах в Башкирии и y казанских татар.

Наиболее архаическую версию того же эпического сказания представляет алтайская богатырская сказка «Алып-Манаш» («Богатырь Манаш»), записанная от выдающегося алтайского народного сказителя, ныне умершего Н. Улагашева. Алтайская сказка записана в непосредственном соседстве с древнейшей родиной огузов в предгорьях Алтая, которую этот кочевой народ, по свидетельству исторических источников, покинул уже в VIII—IX веках на своём пути в Среднюю Азию. В IX—X веках мы застаём огузов в низовьях Сыр-Дарьи и на берегах Аральского моря; в XI веке, под предводительством султанов Сельджукской династии, они захватили южную часть Закавказья и Малую Азию, где позднее были записаны эпические сказания, объединённые в «Книге Коркуда». Сохранение сказания на Алтае позволяет отнести его возникновение ко времени, предшествующему VIII—IX векам, когда огузы перенесли его на свою новую родину.

Таким образом, по своему происхождению «Алпамыш» — едва ли не древнейший эпический сюжет, сохранившийся y народов Средней Азии. На длинном пути своего многовекового развития древняя богатырская сказка об Алпамыше (Алып-Манаше), первоначально повествовавшая о брачной поездке героя в «страну, откуда нет возврата», в процессе исторического развития самих народов от патриархально-родового до раннего феодального строя наполнилась новым конкретно-историческим и социально-бытовым содержанием. Врагами Алпамыша в узбекском эпосе сделались «язычники»-калмыки, исторические враги узбеков и других среднеазиатских народов. Эпос в этой новой своей форме развернул перед нами широкую и в основном реалистическую картину узбекской народной жизни, патриархальной общественности и психологии «героического века». Но в то же время в брачных состязаниях Алпамыша с чудовищными богатырями-калмыками или в расскаэе о возвращении мужа нежданным и неузнанным на свадьбу своей жены с захватившим её в свою власть соперником, а иногда и в отдельных чертах самих героев, в делом глубоко человечных и национальных, сквозь правдивое изображение действительности ещё просвечивают поэтические мотивы старинной богатырской сказки, которую сам сказитель в традиционном зачине «Алпамыша» относит к сказочным «давнопрошедшим временам».

На протяжении средних веков и нового времени сказание об Алпамыше пользовалось y народов Средней Азии широкой известностью и популярностью. В ответ на интерес своих слушателей к народному герою узбекские сказители, по принципу генеалогической циклизации, создали новую эпическую поэму о Ядгаре, сыне Алпамыша, подвиги которого варьируют сказание об его знаменитом отце. Казахские акыны сложили по тому же принципу богатырскую песню, герои которой, Алатай и Жапаркуль, сыновья Ядгара и внуки Алпамыша, выступают как участники исторических событий XIX века.

Казахские народные предания рассказывают о легендарной родине Алпамыша, стране Байсун (), лежащей где-то «за Бухарой», как о предмете вековых народных мечтаний. Угнетённые народные массы искали утешения в этой сказочной утопии и создали образы искателей социальной справедливости, таких, как народный мудрец Асан-кайга или богатырь Утеген, нашедших путь в эту счастливую страну.

Казахский певец Джамбул использовал народную легенду в своей сказочной поэме «Утеген-Батыр». Утеген ведёт свой народ в страну Жидели-Байсын через непроходимые пустыни и лесные чащи, в пути сражается со страшными чудовищами и после долгих испытаний достигает, наконец, желанной цели, Как воплощение долголетней мечты страдающего и угнетённого народа перед сказителем и его героем встаёт советская страна. Замечательной картиной небывалого расцвета родины старого акына в наши дни заканчивается поэма Джамбула.

Faculty members misrepresent the work of SLU administration
{{featured_button_text}}
Students walk on the St. Louis University campus, near the clock tower, on Oct. 19, 2012. (Christian Gooden@post-dispatch.com)
As members of St. Louis University's senior administration who attended the Faculty Senate budget meeting on Jan. 29, we believe the commentary by Kathryn Kuhn and Robert A. Cropf ("Who's on first at SLU?") misrepresents the situation.
We attended the event as people of good will who came to share important information and to engage the faculty, whose work we respect and value.
We explained the budget planning process, which was transparent and included the leadership of the Faculty Senate, Staff Advisory Council and Student Government Association. We also noted that student affordability and employee compensation are our top priorities in our fiscal year 2014 budget.
Additionally, we provided details on the financial strength of the university. For example, our investment returns have been solid during challenging economic times — our endowment has increased to $930 million — and our financial ratings are among the highest in the nation.
These things do not happen without solid planning, sound fiscal management and strong leadership on many levels — trustees, the president, vice presidents, deans and other senior leaders.
We are frustrated and disappointed that some of our faculty colleagues are willing to go to great lengths to misrepresent the work that we are trying to do to build bridges through collaboration and dialogue.
St. Louis University is a community of scholars, and everyone has the right to share their opinions. But to suggest that SLU is a rudderless ship or that the administration is conspiring to keep the faculty in the dark is inaccurate, irresponsible and damaging to our university.
We trust that we all have the same objective: to advance the university's mission of education, research, health care and service. Let's move forward together to build an even stronger St. Louis University community.

Billionaire Sex Offender's Phone Book Contained E-Mail Addresses, 21 Phone Numbers For Bill Clinton
During the early stages of that probe, cops surreptitiously collected the trash from in front of Epstein's Palm Beach home. The refuse included documents with the names of some of his many underage masseuses, as well as an Amazon.com invoice for the purchase of sex slave books like "SlaveCraft: Roadmaps for Erotic Servitude--Principles, Skills and Tools," "Training with Miss Abernathy: A Workbook for Erotic Slaves and Their Owners," and "SM 101: A Realistic Introduction."
As part of a civil suit filed against Epstein by several of his victims, lawyers for the women floated the possibility of subpoenaing Clinton since he "might well be a source of relevant information" about Epstein's activities.
While Clinton was never deposed, lawyers obtained Epstein's computerized phone directory, which included "e-mail addresses for Clinton along with 21 phone numbers for him, including those for his assistant (Doug Band)," according to a court filing.
In Major Blow to Mueller, Federal Judge Rebukes Mueller and DOJ For Falsely Claiming 'Russian Bot Farm' Linked to Russian Government
Dabney Friedrich, a Trump-appointed federal judge rebuked Robert Mueller and the DOJ for falsely suggesting the IRA (Internet Research Agency) and Concord Management and Company, the so-called Russian troll farms, were linked to the Russian government.
Mueller's core claim that the Russian government interfered in the 2016 US presidential election in a "sweeping and systemic" fashion revolves around his bogus claims that a Russian bot farm was linked to the Kremlin — a core claim that has never even been proven.
Defense lawyers for Concord Management, the 'Russian troll farm' indicted by Mueller, filed a motion in April demanding the judge hold Robert Mueller and US Attorney General Bill Barr in criminal contempt for releasing the redacted special counsel report.
Concord's lawyers argued that Mueller's report contained allegations against Concord Management & Co. that were not in the indictment.

Investigative Reporter Says 'Underage Girls' Were on Epstein's Plane The Same Time as Bill Clinton
Investigative journalist Conchita Sarnoff appeared on Fox News on Monday night to claim that "underage girls" were aboard accused pedophile Jeffrey Epstein's plane at the same time that Bill Clinton traveled on it.
According to Fox News, Sarnoff is the executive director of Alliance to Rescue Victims of Trafficking and also author of the book "TrafficKing: The Jeffrey Epstein Case." She made these comments after Clinton released statement Monday claiming he was unaware of Epstein's alleged crimes at the time:

Ann Coulter: Jeffrey Epstein Operation 'Obviously For Blackmailing Purposes,' May Have 'State Sponsor'
Ann Coulter broke down the Jeffrey Epstein case in an interview with 790 KABC on Monday and said she believes he was running a "blackmailing" operation and he may have a "state sponsor" behind him.
"Epstein according to both the girls accounts, he wanted them to have sex with powerful men, come back to him and report on it, describe what they wanted what their fetishes were and he had cameras throughout the house so this is obviously for blackmailing purposes," Coulter said.
"It just seems to me something much bigger is behind this -- perhaps a state sponsor -- powerful enough people ... it just seems to me there's something a very powerful force behind what's going on here and I am still nervous about this not coming to a conclusion, somehow this getting compromised," she said.
Coulter said prosecutors should investigate how he got his money and became a billionaire because his official story is not believable.
RECUSE YOURSELF: Epstein Judge, Who Locked Up Dinesh D'Souza, Was Appointed By Bill Clinton
The U.S. District Court Judge presiding over the Jeffrey Epstein child trafficking case was appointed to the federal bench by former president Bill Clinton, a frequent travel companion of Epstein. Epstein actually claimed to be a co-founder of the Clinton Global Initiative.
Richard Berman was appointed by Bill Clinton in 1998. He presided over Dinesh D'Souza's case where D'Souza was convicted of re-imbursing friends to evade campaign contribution limits in a New York election.
Meanwhile, disgraced former FBI director James Comey's daughter Maurene is one of the prosecutors in the case.

Jeffrey Epstein's Wikipedia Page Stealth-Edited To Remove Ties To Democrats
In the wake of Jeffrey Epstein's weekend arrest, an observant Twitter user noticed that someone has edited the billionaire pedophile's Wikipedia page to remove all mention of Democrats who have flown on the "Lolita Express" - the nickname given to his private Boeing 727 jet which was reportedly outfitted with a bed.
Bombshell: Alex Acosta Reportedly Claimed Jeffrey Epstein "Belonged To Intelligence"
I also noted that it appeared his real job was to run a blackmail operation to ensnare some of the most wealthy and powerful people on earth. I alluded to the possibility that he was collecting this priceless information on behalf of a third party, and then just today we learn the following via the Daily Beast:
"Is the Epstein case going to cause a problem [for confirmation hearings]?" Acosta had been asked. Acosta had explained, breezily, apparently, that back in the day he'd had just one meeting on the Epstein case. He'd cut the non-prosecution deal with one of Epstein's attorneys because he had "been told" to back off, that Epstein was above his pay grade. "I was told Epstein 'belonged to intelligence' and to leave it alone," he told his interviewers in the Trump transition, who evidently thought that was a sufficient answer and went ahead and hired Acosta. (The Labor Department had no comment when asked about this.)...

Ann Coulter Thinks Epstein Had a "State Sponsor" & Was Running a "Blackmailing" Operation
Conservative commentator Ann Coulter says that sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein had a "state sponsor" backing him and that his operation was a way to blackmail powerful men.
During an appearance on 790 KABC, Coulter suggested that Epstein is merely the front man for a far more powerful network.
"Epstein according to both the girls accounts, he wanted them to have sex with powerful men, come back to him and report on it, describe what they wanted what their fetishes were and he had cameras throughout the house so this is obviously for blackmailing purposes," said Coulter.
"It just seems to me something much bigger is behind this — perhaps a state sponsor — powerful enough people … it just seems to me there's something a very powerful force behind what's going on here and I am still nervous about this not coming to a conclusion, somehow this getting compromised," she added.
Gee, ya think?
If it turns out to be true that Jeffrey Epstein is an intelligence operative (part of the Central Intelligence Agency or some other group) then we may be looking at the largest political-elite honeypot operation ever ran in U.S. territory. If so, it means that the powers-that-be let it all happen in order to gather intel on various high profile individuals.

It won't just be Jeffrey Epstein that will be on trial in the months ahead. As this scandal unfolds, the entire U.S. legal system will be on trial, and if justice does not prevail many Americans will lose faith in the system for good.
And of course the rest of the world will be watching too, and so what are they supposed to think about us if we are not able to put Epstein and all of his dirty friends in prison? As I detailed in part three of this series, the evidence against Jeffrey Epstein and his partners in crime is mounting. If Jeffrey Epstein is put behind bars that will be a step in the right direction, but it will not nearly be enough.

NIMMO: NO WAY WILL EPSTEIN BE ALLOWED TO EXPOSE POLITICAL CLASS PEDOS
SOURCE: KURT NIMMO
I will be sincerely surprised if the latest effort to put away child sex ring leader Jeffrey Epstein results in outing members of the political class.
And even if names are revealed—and quite a few already have—there is simply no way a criminal like Bill Clinton will be charged with raping minors and thrown in prison.
Clinton, of course, is guilty of much more serious crimes, for instance, bombing the former Yugoslavia and killing hundreds of innocent people, including children, and burning men, women, and children alive at Waco. These crimes are now at best footnotes.
It has been known for a long time Bill Clinton is a sexual predator, and yet all the evidence of this, out there for the public to see, has yet to result in criminal charges against him. Both Bill and his wife are way above the law and more or less untouchable.

What to know about British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein's alleged madam
Prosecutors allege in newly unsealed court documents that the financier Jeffrey Epstein used an extensive network of employees and close associates to target and recruit underage girls for sexual relationships.
One of Epstein's alleged employees, the British-born socialite Ghislaine Maxwell, 57, has been the subject of allegations for years that she was Epstein's top accomplice, accused of recruiting victims and abusing them alongside the financier.
Despite not being named in the most recent indictment of Epstein and denying any wrongdoing, Maxwell has previously been named as Epstein's madam in testimony given to media outlets and in legal documents created in a defamation suit against her. As a result, the Oxford graduate has come under a sharper spotlight nearly two decades after first appearing alongside New York highfliers like Donald Trump, who was then a real-estate developer.
Barr won't recuse himself from Jeffrey Epstein case, despite earlier comments
After consulting Justice Department ethics officials, Attorney General William Barr will not recuse himself from overseeing the sex-trafficking case of billionaire Jeffrey Epstein in New York, according to reports.
A Justice official told the Associated Press on condition of anonymity that Barr is still recused from any review of a 2008 plea deal that allowed Epstein to avoid federal charges in Florida.
Jack Posobiec noted that 40 underage girls gave accounts of Epstein's sexual abuse to the FBI which was under Mueller's watch at the time.
Bill Clinton Lying About Epstein Relationship: Report
Bill Clinton is lying about his involvement with arrested pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, according to investigative journalist Conchita Sarnoff - who first revealed the former president's extensive flights on Epstein's "lolita express" in a 2010 Daily Beast exposé.
Clinton claimed in a Monday statement that he only took "a total of four trips on Jeffrey Epstein's airplane" in 2002 and 2003, and that Secret Service accompanied him at all times.
According to Sarnoff's research as well as flight logs obtained by Fox News in 2016, that's a complete lie.
Sarnoff, who heads up the Alliance to Rescue Victims of Trafficking and the author of "Trafficking," told Fox News Monday evening: "I know from the pilot logs and these are pilot logs that you know were written by different pilots and at different times that Clinton went, he was a guest of Epstein's 27 times," adding "many of those times Clinton had his Secret Service with him and many times he did not."

Billionaire sex offender Epstein once claimed he co-founded Clinton Foundation
Attorneys for convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein touted his close friendship with Bill Clinton and even claimed the billionaire helped start Clinton's controversial family foundation in a 2007 letter aimed at boosting his image during plea negotiations, FoxNews.com has learned.
The 23-page letter, written by high-powered lawyers Alan Dershowitz and Gerald Lefcourt, was apparently part of an ultimately successful bid to negotiate a plea deal before Epstein could be tried for using underage girls in a sex ring based in Palm Beach, Fla., and his private island estate on the 72-acre Virgin Islands home dubbed "Orgy Island." Epstein spent 13 months in prison and home detention after agreeing to a plea deal in which he admitted to soliciting an underage girl for prostitution.

After a long dormant stretch, the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board (PCLOB) has signaled it's ready to tackle another big review of government surveillance and overreach. The PCLOB, an independent agency in the executive branch, last published a 2014 report on warrantless surveillance of the Internet by the U.S. intelligence community. While EFF welcomes the PCLOB's efforts to bring oversight and transparency to the most controversial surveillance programs, we've disagreed with some of the Board's findings, particularly on surveillance under FISA Section 702. So while it's a good sign that the board is turning its attention to other major issues, its mixed history means it may be a little too soon to get your hopes up...

Wikipedia Editors Battle to Hide Bill Clinton's Link to Jeffrey Epstein
Wikipedia editors are currently battling to hide disgraced sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein's connection to Bill Clinton while emphasizing his connection to Donald Trump.
Clinton flew on Epstein's 'Lolita Express' private jet at least 26 times and this was reported by multiple media outlets in 2016.
However, any reference to this on Epstein's Wikipedia page disappeared for a time yesterday before being added back in.
The current Wikipedia page for Epstein does mention his link to Clinton but devotes more words to the billionaire's ties to Donald Trump, which were less direct.
Report: Epstein to Name Individuals Involved in Underage Sex in Return For 5 Year Maximum Sentence
Disgraced sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein is set to give up the names individuals who paid for underage sex in return for a maximum prison sentence that will not exceed 5 years.

"Epstein's lawyer has already made a proffer to SDNY. Epstein will agree to cooperate with the investigation, including giving up the names of individuals that paid for activities with underage girls in exchange for a maximum sentence not to exceed 5 years," tweeted OANN's Jack Posobiec.

On Sunday, a top Republican legislator, Rep. Peter King (R-NY) took the gloves off in an unusually acerbic public attack on former leaders of the FBI and CIA.
King told a radio audience: "There is no doubt to me there was severe, serious abuses that were carried out in the FBI and, I believe, top levels of the CIA against the President of the United States or, at that time, presidential candidate Donald Trump," according to The Hill.

Alex Acosta defended his handling of a controversial plea deal with billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein Tuesday as the top three Senate Democratic leaders called on the labor secretary to resign.
Acosta took to a Twitter offensive on Tuesday, saying he supports the "horrific" new charges against the billionaire financier while defending his own past actions. The financier is now charged with running a sex ring of underage girls.
"With the evidence available more than a decade ago, federal prosecutors insisted that Epstein go to jail, register as a sex offender and put the world on notice that he was a sexual predator," he said. "Now that new evidence and additional testimony is available, the NY prosecution offers an important opportunity to more fully bring him to justice."

Arab-Israel MK: Netanyahu using Iran tensions to stay in power
Arab-Israeli Knesset Member (MK) Yousef Jabareen has claimed that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is using tensions with Iran to stay in power ahead of the country's general election.
Speaking to British newspaper the Express, Jabareen explained that Netanyahu "will do anything to survive" Israel's upcoming general election on 17 September, including overstating tensions with Iran and conducting "military attacks" on the already-besieged Gaza Strip.
Netanyahu's prospects of re-election as yet remain uncertain, with the latest polls showing he could face a repeat of April's outcome, when he failed to form a government after deadlocked coalition talks. Having been told he can only cancel September's election in the event of extreme circumstances such as war, there is now speculation that Netanyahu could take drastic steps to avoid electoral defeat.
Why the Trump White House Is Caught Up in the Jeffrey Epstein Scandal
Mr. Acosta, whom Mr. Trump nominated as labor secretary in 2017, has faced intense scrutiny for his role in Mr. Epstein's deal to avoid prosecution, which has been widely criticized as shockingly lenient.
A series of investigative stories by The Herald last year revealed that Mr. Acosta was personally involved in the negotiations. He met privately with one of Mr. Epstein's lawyers, who was also one of Mr. Acosta's former colleagues.
In subsequent weeks, prosecutors from Mr. Acosta's office gave Mr. Epstein's lawyers an unusual amount of control over the terms of the plea deal, The Herald reported.
"Thank you for the commitment you made to me,'' Mr. Epstein's lawyer wrote in a letter to Mr. Acosta after their meeting, noting that Mr. Acosta had assured him that he would not contact "any of the identified individuals, potential witnesses or potential civil claimants," The Herald reported.
Kamala Harris supports segregation by supporting Israel
Harris was moving when she talked about how as a child, "my sister and I had to deal with the neighbor who told us her parents [said she] couldn't play with us because we were Black." She recounted that as a little girl, she was a member of only the second racially integrated class in her public school.
She touted her record fighting for civil rights as attorney general of California and defended the Voting Rights Act and the Civil Rights Act, and called for passing an Equality Act.
But whatever her record in the US, Harris' support for freedom, civil rights and equality does not extend to one group of people systematically and violently denied them: Palestinians.
William Barr is Planning on Allowing Mueller's Testimony to Be Postponed if Asked by Special Counsel
CrowdStrikeOut: Mueller's Own Report Undercuts Its Core Russia-Meddling Claims
While the 448-page Mueller report found no conspiracy between Donald Trump's campaign and Russia, it offered voluminous details to support the sweeping conclusion that the Kremlin worked to secure Trump's victory. The report claims that the interference operation occurred "principally" on two fronts: Russian military intelligence officers hacked and leaked embarrassing Democratic Party documents, and a government-linked troll farm orchestrated a sophisticated and far-reaching social media campaign that denigrated Hillary Clinton and promoted Trump.
But a close examination of the report shows that none of those headline assertions are supported by the report's evidence or other publicly available sources. They are further undercut by investigative shortcomings and the conflicts of interest of key players involved:
Jeffrey Epstein prosecution could rise or fall on a single word
The new sex-trafficking prosecution against Jeffrey Epstein could rise or fall on how a judge interprets a single, rather mundane word.
The pivotal term — "globally" — lurks on the second page of a seven-page agreement signed in 2007 and finalized the following year, detailing a pledge by federal prosecutors in Florida not to prosecute Epstein for serial sexual abuse of underage girls if he pleaded guilty to two prostitution-related felonies in state court.
"IT APPEARING that Epstein seeks to resolve globally his state and federal criminal liability…" reads the document laying out what critics have described as a sweetheart deal well-connected defense lawyers won from the then-U.S. Attorney for Southern Florida Alex Acosta, who now serves as Labor secretary.
Some lawyers say Epstein's future may turn on how much weight the courts give to that tricky adverb.
"That word is his best hope," said Loyola Law School law professor Laurie Levenson, a former federal prosecutor.
AOC-aligned group targets incumbent Dems who crossed influential freshmen ripping apart the party
The left-wing activist group that spearheaded the political rise of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is now working to take down several incumbent Democrats who have defied the party's freshman progressive wing, leaving some of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's loyalists on Capitol Hill anxiously wondering if they might soon fall in the crosshairs themselves.

Investigative Journalist: Bill Clinton 'not telling the truth' about Jeffrey Epstein
Investigative journalist Conchita Sarnoff said Monday that former President Bill Clinton isn't telling the truth when he says he "knows nothing" of the alleged crimes of Jeffrey Epstein.
Sarnoff, who's the executive director of Alliance to Rescue Victims of Trafficking and the author of her book "Trafficking," appeared on Fox News @ Night after an indictment alleging sex trafficking and sex trafficking conspiracy was unsealed Monday morning against Epstein, while Clinton's spokesman issued a statement denying knowledge of Epstein's alleged behavior.
Epstein, the wealthy and politically connected financier who pleaded not guilty during his initial appearance in a New York City federal court, is accused of preying on "dozens" of victims as young as 14.

María de la Osa's projects have a virtuosic eye for colour, an adventurous sense of style, a generous application of art history; all of which are synonymous with de la Osa's signature style. With the conviction to only create spaces that seamlessly marry contemporary influences with important historical references, blending high and low, old and new with soulful sophistication and a unique and iconic grace; De la Osa is one of the most important references for the design scene in Spain.
De la Osa's projects are very well received and have been published in some of the best Spanish magazines such as Architectural Digest, and Nuevo Estilo. Her design curiosity doesn't end there, she has also had the opportunity to conduct interviews for Nuevo Estilo, with 3 of the most iconic designers of our time: Axel Vervoordt, Jacques García and Paul Fortune – the invitation was a true recognition of her design knowledge, from a top design publication.
Without a doubt, María de la Osa has earned a great place in the design industry in Spain under her own merit, and a voice as well through her involvement with the organization of Decor Acción, a three day event that takes place in Madrid every year in the fall. It features the leading Interior Designers, Architects and Antiques dealers of the city, taking to the streets and shops of the "Barrio de Las Letras" and turning them into a city attraction.
María de la Osa –If I think back, it is was probably when my parents constructed a new country house in l' Ampurdán, and I helped decide where each piece of furniture should be placed. I realized that I very much enjoyed doing it and that the result was not bad!
Iván Meade – How would you describe your design style?
María de la Osa – If I had to use just one word, it would probably be cozy. I love to create warm atmospheres that make you feel calm and easy. Colour is also a must in my projects !
Iván Meade – The illumination in your projects is very detailed. The brilliant use of natural light is evident, as well an appropriate use of artificial light. This is an aspect that generally is forgotten in interior design. How do you approach it?
María de la Osa – I believe that one of the most important things while decorating is the light. " a pretty space that has the wrong Illumination can completely destroy it, while an ugly space with the right illumination can cheat your eye and pretend to be a nice place!
Let's say that, with a small budget, I would rather spend more on the illumination than on order matters. I am always looking for lamps!!
Iván Meade – The selection of your furniture pieces is always exquisite – What inspired you to include pieces in your projects that are no longer commonly used in today's homes, like character pieces or antiques?
María de la Osa – Each piece has to have character and a dialogue with the rest of the pieces. It is important to find a balance so as to give each piece it's space without competing with the others. While doing this, I try to look for pieces in different antique shops or stores and a piece that takes me directly to others.
When starting a new project, I always try to spot a piece of the client's that reflects their personality (either because it has been in their life for a long time, because they had inherited it, or because they bought it during travels, or because it was a special present), keeping this piece in mind, I start looking for others. I disapprove that everything needs to be new in a house!, I think that your past life has to have space in the future.
Iván Meade – Another aspect that I find very interesting in your projects is the fact that the art is extremely well selected. Do you work around the clients's collection? Or, do you suggest specific art to your clients?
María de la Osa –I have always thought that buying Art is something very personal and that you have to listen to your interior and let your feelings speak !
There are two kind of projects; the ones where the client has Art and you have to create the project for those pieces, or the projects where there are no pieces of Art at all, and I suggest to first make the house and then find the right pieces of Art to go in it. In this case, I suggest that the client visit Art fairs or Auction houses, (keeping in mind the size needed) and I ask them to let themselves go !
Iván Meade – You are not just a designer, you are also a reporter of some sorts, as you had the opportunity to interview great names in the world of design such as Axel Vervoordt, Jaques García, and Paul Fortune – What has this experience been like? Why is it important for you to interview great names of design?
María de la Osa – I was asked by a Spanish magazine Nuevo Estilo, to create a questionnaire of 25 questions and interview 3 of the world's top Interior designers. It was an honour, and a great opportunity to do so, and I very much enjoyed listening to their answers. It is incredible how in asking the same question, the answers were always so personal and different and yet so coherent -and smart, all of them !!
I loved learning from all of them !
Iván Meade – Many of our readers are design students – What would be the best advice you can give to someone who is starting a career in design?
María de la Osa – I believe that we can teach the eye and the more we see, the more we learn !!
There are great books not only of Interiors but also of Art, Couture, Pottery, Fabrics ….., exhibitions to go and see …. there are films where the interiors are sublime ( American films from the fifties, English, Italian an French films with great palaces ….). Take the time to learn and improve while enjoying all of them, for sure it will come back to you while thinking how to resolve a project !!!
Iván Meade – What is for you the value of design?
María de la Osa – It is for sure a way to make your life happier!
A good atmosphere brings peace to your soul and makes you a better person!!
Iván Meade – You have been involved with Décor Acción for many years. Could you please explain to our readers what Décor Acción is, and why it is important for you to participate in these types of projects?
María de la Osa – Eight years ago, Nuevo Estilo Magazine decided to do an event that would put together top Interiors designers of Spain, as well as young designers, and by doing so, advocate Interior design to the public. It was decided to do a street event of 4 days and it would take place in El Barrio de Las Letras, Madrid ( where many interior designers have their Studios). I was asked to collaborate on the production of the event, and with great pleasure I did so! It was fun inventing ideas and convincing not only designers to participate in making an ephemeris project for those days, but also bringing antique dealers into a street market we created for those days ! It was a great success, the city was on fire, everyone walking in the streets enjoying the event, the Mayor of Madrid came to do the opening of the event, we were in the news on TV and in all the newspapers !. It has become THE event in Spain regarding Interior Design !
María de la Osa – I love the location, it's in el Barrio de Las Letras in Madrid, our Soho area in Madrid !
Although it's not very big, 100 m2 , it has the prefect size for my kind of life (I am not married and have no children ) and I enjoy all of the house every day !!
I dislike houses that have areas that are not used and are only required when guests visit you !
María de la Osa – A comfortable sofa, an inviting kitchen, a bed full of pillows, soft lighting, music, fresh flowers and books!!!
María de la Osa – All of my work has been in residential design, I would very much like to do a project with a restaurant and a hotel!! And my dream would be to design fabrics in the future!!!
Iván Meade – What is next for María de la Osa?
María de la Osa – I am working on several residential projects: Canary Island, several projects in Madrid, Cordoba and this year I am collaborating on a project with the top Interior designer in Spain, Pascua Ortega. It is an honor and a pleasure to be part of his team and I hope to learn a lot from it !!!
María de la Osa – Legacy is too big of a word, but if I am capable of making people happier in their homes, that is already something that makes me feel satisfied with myself !!


Sunflowers are another sign that fall is near. I love when I see these back in the grocery store so I can bring some home to enjoy and add a little French country flair.
I placed them in this old enamelware pitcher that I picked up last week for $20.
It is in pretty good shape with some wear and rust here and there.
I didn't have enough sunflowers to fill this large pitcher so I placed them in a vase that fit inside.
This side has hardly any wear at all.
to a touch of fall.
When I picked this enamelware pitcher up in the antique store one of the employees had just passed it up and turned around to find me holding it. She said she didn't know why she hadn't seen it before and asked if I wanted her to take it up front until I was done. Why yes, please.
If you see something you want in an antique mall you better grab it because the one right behind you probably will.
your sunflowers are lovley in the old enamel jug, that was a great find and wise words too!
That is so true. I usually walk around and then like to go back to pick up what I think I want. But if a crowd comes in, I usually go back and grab it because I worry it will get taken by someone else. Great pitcher! I love enamelware. The sunflowers look nice in it in your sunroom. Sunflowers signal Fall to me too.
Yellow and white: beautiful! I intend to actually PLANT sunflowers here next year!
I have an enamel pitcher very similar that I have dried lavender in. It looks great with the sunflowers. I love the trick about putting a glass inside.
A visit to your home is so refreshing, Kim... always makes me want to re-do THis Old House. I love sunflowers too and have a crackle pitcher on the kitchen counter full of them.
I just love that room, it's so bright and sunny. I love sunflowers too! I saw a big field of them a few weeks ago as I was driving up north and thought to myself that I needed to come back and take a few photos. By the time I came by again though, the heads had drooped...a good reminder to always have my camera along so I can get the shot the first time.
I love sunflowers, and yours look beautiful in that enamel pitcher...what a great find!
Sunflowers just make you smile...don't they? They look so pretty in your enamelware pitcher. Love that room and your beautiful pics.
I love the sunflowers, Kim! Beautiful!
Hi Kim, The sunflowers are lovely and so is your sun porch! There's a hint of fall in the air today and I'm lovin' it.
I love the idea of sticking a smaller vase inside the pitcher. Great tip. The sunflowers are gorgeous in that room. Have a wonderful Sunday!
Your new enamel ware pitcher is charming.
I love your fall look! The sunflowers look beautiful in the enamel pitcher.
I have never bought sunflowers before. Not sure why because they sure look great.
Sunflowers just seem to say Fall. They are so bright and cheerful and make you smile. Pretty post.
Love the look. I am Fallnready!
That should have been Fall ready.
I want a white enamelware pitcher so bad I can taste it. Yours is pure perfection!
That looks pretty Kim! I love sunflowers!
Thanks for stopping by today, Kim. I hope you'll enjoy the Ozark Apple Cake as much as we have. Wishing you a wonderful week!
Beautiful Kim!~ They look gorgeous in that pitcher and of course in your sunny bright sunroom!~ I love Sunflowers.
You just keep finding the cutest enamelware! I love it and the sunflowers.
That is a great pitcher!And I LOVE it with those bright yellow sunflowers.Yes I agree if you see it buy it or the next person will!
I grab enamel every time I see one and those sunflowers are perfect for the picture.
I neeeeed that pitcher! I love fresh sunflowers...always my first purchase at the Farmer's market.
Loverly! I have some in a french flower bucket in the foyer at the moment. Can't beat'em!
Perfect idea with the vase inside. And you are right, one of a kind items only get to go home with one of a kind who is holding it. Possession is 9/10 of the law right?
Those sunflowers are just so cheery, Kim, and the perfect shade of golden yellow for fall. They're perfect in that enamel pitcher. (I picked up an enamal wash basin for $10 once. I use it in my kitchen and I love it, chips and all!) Your room looks so pretty and light. Don't you love the way the sun glows at this time of year?
Gorgeous display! It makes my heart skip a beat.
