   Anand Jon Update with Tara Rule: theBfly, the Money Trail, and "Rebecca"

   Tara Rule is back, and we go straight into what she has been hearing directly from young women connected to theBfly.co (http://theBfly.co). According to those firsthand accounts, women brought in for projects were expected to stay in a hotel room booked by Elyana Aronow, who also goes by Elyana Violet, and then "reimburse" her by sending payment to a PayPal account that, per those same accounts, belongs to the International Justice Alliance, the nonprofit tied to the campaign to free Anand Jon. We walk through what that arrangement looks like and why it matters. We also get into emails Tara received from Justin Gelband, the celebrity trainer who appears on theBfly's own Instagram working out with the young women it features. We talk about the alleged role of Anand Jon's sister, Sanjana Jon, in contacting women on his behalf under the name "Rebecca," which is her middle name. And we discuss the most disturbing thread of all, the reports that Anand Jon has been contacting people, including minors, from prison, and what it would mean to advocate for them. Then we look forward. Tara is searching for a lawyer to help her file a civil suit against Anand Jon, and we talk through what comes next in the investigation. Finally, we cover the new tool on anandjon.info (http://anandjon.info). Anand Jon Alexander is eligible for parole in 2027, and there is now a feature on the site that lets anyone, victim or not, write a statement to the California Board of Parole Hearings and download it as a PDF to send in. We explain how it works and why the December 2027 hearing is the deadline that matters. If you have information, Tara Rule can be reached at ruleartsandproductions@gmail.com (mailto:ruleartsandproductions@gmail.com). You can also send tips to the investigation at localtip@proton.me (mailto:localtip@proton.me). Read the documented record, and use the parole letter tool, at anandjon.info (http://anandjon.info). If a child is in immediate danger, call 911. To report the exploitation of a minor, contact the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children CyberTipline at 1-800-843-5678 or report.cybertip.org (http://report.cybertip.org). A note on the record: Anand Jon Alexander's criminal convictions are a matter of public record. The other claims discussed in this episode are allegations and firsthand accounts from Tara Rule and the people who have come to her, and have not been tested in court. Named individuals are entitled to the presumption that they have done nothing beyond what any court has found. #AnandJon #TaraRule #theBfly #InternationalJusticeAlliance #FeralAmerica #TrueCrime #SurvivorStories #ParoleHearing #FashionIndustry #Justice

   EXCLUSIVE Interview with Tara Rule: Investigating Anand Jon Alexander's Network

   Anand Jon Alexander is serving 59 years to life for sexually abusing teenage models he lured with modeling promises. So how could he be eligible for parole as soon as 2027? In this 95-minute interview, survivor and advocate Tara Rule joins Feral America to expose the organized network working to free him, and the tactics that nearly worked on her. Fashion designer Anand Jon was convicted in Los Angeles in 2008 on 16 felony counts, including forcible rape and crimes against girls as young as 14. But the story didn't end at sentencing. Tara Rule takes us inside the machinery of his release campaign and what it's willing to do. In this episode we get into: - How Anand Jon's network allegedly tried to recruit Tara while he sat behind bars, and how close it came to working - The image-laundering playbook: a paid advertisement in Time magazine reportedly designed to look like a real Time article, and how recognizable names, including music producer Poo Bear, keep surfacing around the campaign - A resurfaced 15-year-old news article about Anand's sister, Sanjana Jon, and a Taj Mahal controversy - How a San Quentin credit system could make Anand Jon parole-eligible as early as 2027, decades before his 2065 release date, including credits earned for writing screenplays - The screenplay he reportedly got approved, titled "Downward Facing Doggy Style," whose lead character is described as a "16-year-old sexy, beautiful white girl" - theBfly.co (http://theBfly.co), the self-described "girl empowerment" website that platforms Anand Jon, and firsthand testimonies from young women who say they escaped the network's reach - A potential class action against the state of California for allowing incarcerated predators, who found their original victims online, to use prison tablets to receive videos and video chat The full documented record, with sources: https://anandjon.info (https://anandjon.info) Have information, or are you a survivor or witness?

   Section 8 Tenant Investigation: What the Public Records Revealed | Case File 001

   The first evidence review from Forensic Real Estate, where public records meet real estate expertise. What began as a routine property management situation uncovered a series of documented questions — and launched a full evidence-based investigation. We examine publicly available records, court filings, property management documentation, and documented accounts to build a factual timeline. Our goal: separate documented evidence from unanswered questions. In this first evidence review, we investigate: - Multiple aliases identified through public records and how far back they go - Court cases, judgments, and documented complaints spanning multiple years - Public court records revealing a serious criminal court case now part of our timeline - Questions surrounding eligibility for the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program - Public records reflecting an IHSS caregiver license under a maiden name - A business currently registered at the property address advertising in-home care services We also review the circumstances surrounding a caregiver who later passed away while in police custody. Using publicly available records, we examine the documented court history relevant to the timeline and discuss information provided to law enforcement — clearly distinguishing verified facts from documented accounts and from questions that remain under review. Additional topics covered: - Lease compliance concerns - Property management documentation - Animal welfare issues documented during the tenancy - Government housing assistance eligibility questions - Trust ownership and financial disclosure questions - Why collecting documentation before drawing conclusions matters The central question of this episode: How was this applicant determined eligible for the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program — and were all required eligibility disclosures properly reported? At this stage, we are not drawing conclusions. We are documenting available evidence, identifying unanswered questions, and continuing the investigation as new information surfaces. Future episodes will keep reviewing new evidence as it is documented and verified.

   Kars4Kids BANNED in California! The 30-Year Donor Con Behind the Annoying Jingle

   Kars4Kids has been running car donation ads since 1994. That jingle has been in your head for over 20 years. And in November 2025, the organization was named in a federal class action lawsuit alleging racketeering, false advertising, and violation of California unfair competition laws. Here is what the ads never told you. Kars4Kids is the fundraising arm of Oorah, an Orthodox Jewish outreach organization based in Lakewood, New Jersey. Both organizations share the same CEO: Eli Mintz, son of the rabbi who founded them. In 2024, Kars4Kids collected over $94 million in contributions. A third of that went straight back into advertising. Their own IRS Form 990 shows they paid Google $22,508,970 in a single year for marketing. Bing Ads got $3.4 million. Sirius Satellite Radio got $424,000. The money that was left went to Oorah, which funds gap year trips to Israel for Orthodox Jewish high school graduates, adult matchmaking services for Orthodox Jewish young adults, Jewish private school tuition assistance, and a $16.5 million building purchase in Israel. California accounts for over 25% of all donated vehicles nationally. Kars4Kids ran zero programs in California. Their only local presence was a backpack giveaway of 1,000 bags, distributed by random drawing, no financial need required. On May 8, 2026, Orange County Superior Court Judge Gassia Apkarian ruled that Kars4Kids violated California false advertising and unfair competition laws. The ads are banned in California effective June 8, 2026, unless the organization adds an explicit audible disclosure of its religious affiliation. This is not the first time. Oregon and Pennsylvania settled deceptive advertising cases against Kars4Kids in 2009. Minnesota found in 2017 that less than 1% of funds raised from Minnesota donors benefited Minnesota children. The jingle kept playing. This episode walks through the court ruling, the 990 filings, the executive compensation, the class action complaint, and the full paper trail of what Kars4Kids is and what it has always been.

   EXPOSED: Epstein's Money Laundering Mechanism Involving Ben Goertzel, Humanity+ and Novamente

   In January 2015, AI researcher Ben Goertzel wrote one of the most damning emails in the entire Jeffrey Epstein file release. He commiserated with Epstein over the "spate of utterly idiotic negative publicity," floated the theory that Epstein's victims (children) were "reasonably mature people who mutually consented," and then, in the very next paragraph, asked for another $25,000 to be funneled through his 501(c)(3) nonprofit, Humanity+. In this episode of Feral America, we examine the full mechanism. This is not a story about a scientist who had a bad funder. It is a story about the conversion mechanism. The pass through. The five percent fee Goertzel openly charged for his nonprofit's role as a financial conduit, in writing, in an email with the actual subject line "Funneling money." In this 30 minute investigation, you will learn: How Epstein's $100,000 fellowship at the University of New Mexico in 2001 launched Goertzel's career The exact structure of the laundering pipeline The IRS statutes that were violated The receipts: emails from the Epstein files Goertzel's "I was social engineered" defense in his February 2026 Substack How a male professional culture of benefit of the doubt continues to protect powerful men accused of horrible things Why I filed an IRS Whistleblower complaint PRIMARY SOURCES AND FURTHER READING My full Substack investigation: https://sueselle.substack.com (https://sueselle.substack.com/p/airing-out-the-laundering-how-ben) South China Morning Post original report (February 16, 2026): https://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/society/article/3299896 (https://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/society/article/3299896) Ben Goertzel's "Goertzel vs Epstein" Substack response: https://bengoertzel.substack.com/p/goertzel-vs-epstein (https://bengoertzel.substack.com/p/goertzel-vs-epstein) Government of the United States Virgin Islands v.

   URGENT: No Warrant Needed for Your Data - The CLOUD Act

   Last night, a gunman opened fire at the White House Correspondents' Dinner. Every news outlet reported the same thing this morning: law enforcement is "obtaining search warrants" for his phone and devices. Here's what they didn't mention: under the CLOUD Act, the government doesn't need a warrant for most of his digital life. His Gmail, his cloud storage, his social media... all of it is accessible through a completely different pipeline. Faster. Quieter. No judge sitting on it for hours. And that law doesn't just apply to active shooters. It applies to you. In this episode, we break down: What the CLOUD Act actually is and how it passed (buried in a 2,200-page spending bill) How it lets the US government compel Google, Apple, Meta, and Microsoft to hand over your data, even if it's stored overseas How foreign governments can now request your data directly from US tech companies Why journalists, activists, lawyers, and immigrants are especially at risk The one structural weakness in the law and the free tools that exploit it → Signal, ProtonMail, Tresorit, Bitwarden, and other privacy tools explained RESOURCES: 🔗 EFF CLOUD Act Explainer — https://www.eff.org/issues/cloud-act (https://www.eff.org/issues/cloud-act) 🔗 Signal (encrypted messaging) — https://signal.org (https://signal.org) 🔗 ProtonMail (encrypted email) — https://proton.me (https://proton.me) 🔗 Bitwarden (password manager) — https://bitwarden.com (https://bitwarden.com) 🔗 Privacy Guides — https://privacyguides.org (https://privacyguides.org) 🔗 ACLU CLOUD Act Analysis — https://www.aclu.org (https://www.aclu.org) 🔗 Full CLOUD Act Text — https://www.congress.gov (https://www.congress.gov) #CLOUDAct #Privacy #DataPrivacy #Surveillance #Signal #ProtonMail #Encryption #WHCD #WHCDShooting #DigitalPrivacy #FourthAmendment #BigTech #GooglePrivacy #iCloud #FederalLaw #CyberSecurity #PrivacyRights #FreePress #EndToEndEncryption #FeralAmerica

    Minisode: The Most Disturbing Research Proposal in the Epstein Files: What Was Document EFTA01181751

    On January 30, 2026, the Department of Justice released over 3 million pages from the Jeffrey Epstein investigation. Buried in those files was document EFTA01181751 — a research proposal so bizarre and disturbing that we had to read it out loud to believe it was real. In this minisode, I'm reading through the entire document and asking the questions that should terrify anyone who cares about scientific ethics: Who wrote this? Was this research actually being conducted? And how the hell did a convicted sex trafficker end up funding scientific research into sexually transmitted infections that could allegedly increase "female sexual drive"? The document outlines a four-step plan to: Identify STIs that alter host sexual behavior Determine which ones increase female sexual activity Patent the findings Sell to pharmaceutical companies for "mass commercialization" The proposal specifically targets research on women and suggests testing on both humans and animals. It reads like a dystopian nightmare — except it's a real document from a real investigation. This isn't just about Jeffrey Epstein. It's about what happens when unlimited money meets scientific institutions with no oversight. And based on the newly released files, this kind of "research" was being discussed at the highest levels of academia. ⚠️ Content warning: discussion of sexual exploitation, unethical research, and abuse.

    Copperfield Rape Allegations, Nygard Conviction: The Billionaire Sex Trafficking Playbook

    Oprah Winfrey filmed a glowing interview on David Copperfield's private Bahamian island in 2012. The FBI had just closed a two-year rape investigation into him without charges. He told her on camera that he'd been exonerated and was the real victim. He was still performing at the MGM Grand the next week. In this episode, Feral America digs into what happens when men with private islands and unlimited resources decide the rules don't apply to them... and how long the world has let them get away with it. We cover David Copperfield and Musha Cay: the fake shell company he used to secretly buy the island, the modeling pipeline he allegedly used to lure victims, the 16 women who came forward in 2024, and his documented connections to Jeffrey Epstein's network. Then Em takes us deep into the Peter Nygard case, the Canadian fashion mogul convicted of 4 counts of sexual assault and sentenced to 11 years in 2024, who operated a decades-long trafficking network out of his Bahamas compound Nygard Cay. More than 125 survivors have come forward. Lawyers believe that's still the tip of the iceberg. And the Bahamian government helped keep it secret for over 20 years. This is not a story about bad men. It's a story about systems that protected them. ⚠️ Content warning: this episode includes discussion of sexual assault, sex trafficking, and abuse of minors.

    Exclusive! Jessica Collins' Ex Speaks Out

    A woman named Jessica Collins disappeared off a Carnival cruise ship in Bonaire in September 2025. She left a thank-you note and a tip for the cabin crew, then texted to say she was fine and please don't look for her. Just a normal day in Feral America. Jessica Leigh Collins has been claiming for years that she was trafficked into Jeffrey Epstein's network as a college student in 2002, connected through the DC Madam, Deborah Palfrey. She's filed federal lawsuits. Made videos. Written a book. And been largely ignored by mainstream media. She also believes her daughter Aisha didn't overdose. She believes she was murdered and that the government covered it up because she knew too much after allegedly being trafficked to high profile politicians from the age of 10. We don't know if any of it is true. We don't know if the woman on that cruise ship is even the same Jessica Collins. What we do know is that this story is stranger, sadder, and more complicated than the algorithm wants it to be — and that's exactly why we're here. In an exclusive interview, Em speaks with Aisha's father, who provides corroborating details and shares his side. We'll cover all this and more. This is our inaugural episode. We're Stevie and Em, two opinionated and curious Gen Xers who have zero interest in pretending the official version is always the whole story. Welcome to Feral America.
