🇩🇪 A Missing Woman from Germany Reappears in the Epstein Files

A young woman from Germany vanished without a trace 11 years ago. Now, her name makes several appearances in the Epstein files. Her family wants to finally learn what happened to her.

Jonas says he doesn't remember exactly which day his sister disappeared. It was sometime in early September 2015, he says, when Michele grabbed her suitcase and left. She didn’t say where she was going or how long she'd be away, "but that was normal." Michele, 22 at the time, was always on the move, and she rarely told her family where she was headed. "That's why I didn't think anything of it," says Jonas, whose name has been changed for this story. Michele would turn up again – in a week, two at the most. That, he says, is always what happened when she left on a trip.

A month passed. Michele's family went to the police and reported her missing, but the officers said there was little they could do. Michele was an adult, they said, free to go wherever she pleased; an active search was only possible if there were indications that a crime may have been committed. The fact that she hadn't been in touch for weeks, even though she had always checked in before, wasn't enough.

The family reached out to Michele's friends, but nobody had heard a thing. Her mobile phone was broken and sitting at home. The police saw no reason to look any harder. A year went by. Then another.

Michele's parents and brothers didn't know what else to do, and at some point, they say, they had no choice but to hope she would resurface on her own.

In December 2025, the US Department of Justice began releasing documents from the criminal case against Jeffrey Epstein. The wealthy investor had abused women and minors over the course of many years and died by suicide in prison in 2019. He was well connected and moved in circles that included celebrities like Bill Clinton and Woody Allen. When the convicted sex offender was suddenly found dead in his cell, many Americans suspected a conspiracy.

And another name also appeared in the files: that of Michele. Along with a man who played a central role in Epstein's network.

This is the story of a young woman who dreamed of seeing the world – and who was swallowed up by it. A woman who may have crossed paths with people whose goal was to exploit her. There are few certainties, but what is clear is that for nearly 11 years, a family has been missing their daughter, their sister.

According to her family, Michele moved to Dubai for a time in 2012. She told her mother she had a job waiting tables there. Michele also told Annett about an encounter that may have shaped her future.

The Buddha-Bar in Dubai promises pan-Asian cuisine and "a food and drinks experience which will blow you away." Instagram photos show dark rooms and gold ornamentation. It was in this restaurant, according to Annett’s account of what Michele told her, that a man noticed Michele in 2012. He approached her – or so Michele told her mother. "He said he worked as a model scout and was always on the lookout for pretty girls." The man's name: Daniel Siad.

In the documents released by the US Department of Justice, Daniel Siad's name appears nearly two thousand times. He was in contact with the investor from at least 2009 onward. Siad would pitch women to Epstein, sending him their photos and measurements. In touting them, he used descriptions such as "amazing beauty" or "very polite." In one email, Siad described himself as a "fisherman" who catches women for Epstein – in France, Scandinavia and Eastern Europe.

🇬🇧📝: Bluesky is excluded from the UK's ban on social media for teenagers.

Keir Starmer's social media ban is intended to hide criticism of him, his government, his party and the sore state Britain has degraded into, it has nothing to do with "protecting" children and teenagers.

Bluesky is a leftist/progressivist echo chamber, the only ideology tolerable in Starmer's UK.

🧑‍🎓 🇺🇸 ⚪️ White students now make up less than half of all Americans enrolled in school

Why it matters: America's future workforce and electorate are moving through schools strained by 20-year-low reading scores, teacher shortages and racial segregation at levels not seen since the 1960s.

The big picture: White (non-Latino, non-multiracial) student enrollment fell from 46.7 million in 2000 to 36.6 million in 2024.

Total school enrollment in 2024 was nearly 1 million below the 76.1 million enrolled in 2019 and almost 4 million below the modern peak of 79 million in 2011, according to the Axios review of census data.

Zoom in: The demographic shift is most visible in early childhood and K-12 education.

Higher education is the lone remaining sector where white students remain a majority (51.1%). This is likely to erode over the next decade as the more diverse K-12 pipeline ages into colleges and universities.

Between the lines: While Hispanic students enroll in all schools at high rates, college completion gaps remain significant: only 37.3% of Hispanic 20-to-21-year-olds are enrolled in college, compared to 53.9% of white students.

It's 78.6% for Asian Americans in the same age group.

📢 🇬🇧 ⚪️ Britain is a two tier state - against white people. | Nigel Farage

In England, police officers who handcuffed Henry Nowak as he died pleading for help triggered a wave of protests, and outrage on the part of the Prime Minister - not at the actions of the officers, or at the guidelines that led them to treat different ethnic groups in different ways, but at those who dared to point this out.

In Belfast, a barbarous assault caught on camera led to rioting. Again, the response: rightful condemnation of the unrest, yes, but also of those who asked how the attack on Stephen Ogilvie came to happen.

Each year now, it seems, we are confronted with a summer of unrest, and a Government paralysed by indecision, desperately trying to find a way to dismiss it. What should be shocking has become business as usual.

Once again, the establishment parties in Westminster are singing from the same hymn sheet - it’s just part and parcel of living in a modern city, nothing else to see - because they’re unwilling to acknowledge the real problem.

The underlying cause is simple. The British state is no longer working for everyone in this country. Across public and economic life, the power of the Government has been brought to bear on tackling “inequalities”, in a narrow and specific sense. Anything which is seen to disadvantage a minority group is cracked down on. Anything which benefits a minority and damages the White British is likely to be left alone.

British people fundamentally expect a fair deal. But there is nothing fair about the way White people have been treated by their governments.

A fish rots from the head, and local government has taken its DEI cues from the top. Westminster City Council ordered staff to undergo a “privilege” test, while giving preferential treatment to non-White “global majority” candidates over equally qualified White applicants. As basic services like bin collection are slashed, councils continue to commandeer public funds to spend on dubious contracts and opaque outsourcing.

But nothing demonstrates the state’s commitment to anti-Whiteness more than the ironically named “Equality Act”. It’s through this legislation that anti-Whiteness is institutionalised into every aspect of public life.

To be totally clear, this isn’t anyone’s definition of equality. I suppose activists would call it “equity” - picking and choosing a supposedly disadvantaged group and giving them a leg up at the expense of another. I’d put it more bluntly. It was discrimination.

It gets worse. The Conservative government decided in all its wisdom to strengthen the public sector equality duty, forcing public bodies to publish “equality objectives”, and annual reports on equality information. Overnight, the Tories created a gigantic legal burden for the public sector that necessitated the creation of a permanent class of DEI bureaucrats. Is it any wonder that the Human Resources sector seems to be the only part of the economy that’s actually functioning?

While the Equality Act doesn’t permit “positive discrimination”, it does allow “positive action” where minority groups are allowed access to exclusionary outreach schemes. Section 159 also allows employers to use a “tiebreaker”, discriminating against a White candidate if an equally qualified candidate with a protected characteristic has also applied. The Equality Act has also encouraged informal methods of discrimination, from lowering standards to reduce disparities.

For now, however, we can see the effects of this legislation on the ground. Young people entering the world of work are met with an explicitly two-tier system. Thanks to the Equality Act, “positive action” is rife, tilting the playing field against the White British.

🇮🇱🤝🇸🇴 Somaliland President Abdirahman Irro said his arrival in Tel Aviv marked a “historic milestone” in the territory’s relationship with Israel, the only UN member state to recognize Somaliland’s independence from Somalia.

Located on the strategic Horn of Africa, Somaliland has functioned as a de facto state since declaring independence from Somalia in 1991, with its own governing institutions and security structures – despite receiving no recognition from any UN member state until Israel recognized it in December.

Somaliland’s geography explains its importance. Overlooking one of the world’s busiest maritime arteries, it holds proximity to trade flows linking Asia, Africa, and Europe. 

Israel is seeking closer ties with Somaliland as part of its effort to establish military bases in the port city of Berbera, thereby allowing it to project power in the Red Sea, including in the strategic Bab al-Mandab Strait, where Yemen's Ansarallah movement is now dominant.

In November 2025, in response to Israel’s genocide of Palestinians, Yemen's Armed Forces imposed a maritime blockade targeting vessels traveling through Bab al-Mandab bound for Israeli ports.

With this vulnerability exposed, Israel made securing these waterways a core component of its national security planning.

Israel’s close ally, the UAE, has also courted Somaliland to help it project power into the Red Sea, Yemen, and Sudan.

The UAE has had an agreement since 2017 for a military base at Berbera International Airport that served as a logistics hub for Emirati operations in the Yemeni and Sudanese civil wars.
