Announcing: A Weekly Newsletter, The Edit by Capitalism & Glitter ✨
This Week's Topics: The Epstein files, summer vacation, and how to live a good life when the world is falling apart
For years, I have received pop-up requests in my DMs for deep-dives du jour.
Did you see the latest Epstein file drop?
Is Hillary Clinton/Pam Bondi a lizard person?
Is Candace Owens doing your Bible Study? She’s talking about Nimrod aka Gilgamesh.
And those are just from last week.
For a very long time, all I’ve wanted to do with my internet presence is gather myself into writing regular, long-form content. And after praying for this for years, I am finally doing just that, right here on Substack.
It’s so much healthier than simply shitposting in my Instagram stories. It allows me to dig deeper into topics in a concise and complete way. Having a more focused outlet for my curiosities is much more stabilizing for my nervous system.
But it’s not nearly as funny.
I mean, sometimes it is. And I’m so glad to be able to have this outlet for focused research. But given the backlog of Substack drafts I have started (nearly 50 at this point) — not everything can be a deep dive.
Not everything deserves a deep dive.
I need a place to catalogue and publish quick thoughts. A place for the hot topics before they necessitate the deep dive. A place to talk about current events as they’re happening, and as they relate to the plethora of deep dives I have published or am currently working on.
Introducing: A weekly Capitalism & Glitter newsletter called The Edit.
Behold, I am doing a new thing!
Isaiah 43:19
We currently post the Bible study on Sundays, with a long-form paid deep dive on Wednesdays, and I’m introducing this weekly newsletter which I am aiming to post on Thursday afternoons.
I can’t promise to publish this every week. Alex doesn’t think I should commit to this at all. But despite naming my husband as “manager” of whatever this company is, I cannot be managed! But I can now delegate much of the business and some of the research and initial draft writing of major articles — which affords me the opportunity to collect all my many thoughts and publish them on a weekly basis.
This newsletter will cover topics related to both Capitalism & Glitter — everything from politics to conspiracy theories, to travel ideas, fashion trends, and home design projects. Everything I used to post in my stories, random thoughts as they pop into my head, catalogued in a weekly newsletter.
The only thing it’s missing is my tongue-in-cheek curated soundtrack — but I hope to figure that out in the future, too.
This is a newsletter for people who want to remain somewhat informed without allowing the news to hijack their nervous systems.
For those who want to be in the world, but not of the world.
Sometimes this newsletter will be free (like this first one), but mostly this will be an added benefit for paid subscribers.
This is a free preview of Capitalism & Glitter’s new weekly newsletter, The Edit.

This Week in Capitalism
Whew. The news lately has been HEAVY.
ICE killing people.
ALTERNATE HEADLINE (depending on your algorithm): ICE defending the nation from radical leftists and criminal immigrants.
Democrats radicalizing their base into thinking they’re fighting actual Nazis.
Trump wants to buy Greenland.
The kidnapping of Today Show host Savanna Guthrie’s mom.
I often talk about how important it is to get offline and go outside, to remain unplugged in a culture that demands your attention like currency, a tax to pay for existing in the 21st century.
Of course, this doesn’t mean “be uninformed.”
But sometimes remaining informed can be a literal nightmare of hellish proportions.
What the Epstein Files Tell Us About the Satanic Death Cult in Operation Today
On January 30, 2026, the U.S. Justice Department released the latest tranche of files related to Jeffery Epstein’s criminal empire that was definitely just the tip of the iceberg of a major intelligence operation ensnaring the world’s politicians.
It’s 3.5 million pages of documents, and people wasted no time diving into all the sordid details and immediately posting them online — dragging the satanic rituals out of the shadows and directly into your hands.
Influencers who make their money off of rattling your nervous system were quick to churn out nonstop content about the contents of the files, practically posting demonic rituals on Instagram, Substack, and X. Some influencers were even found to be in the files.
As much as I tried not to, I was unfortunately made aware of some of the more disturbing details from the files as graphic emails and images popped up in my social media feed without warning. I have previously unfollowed most accounts that publish stuff like this, because I think it’s incredibly unhealthy and borderline demonic to be this obsessed with the details of satanic rituals, but unfortunately it’s impossible to avoid that content unless you’re off the internet altogether (which gets more tempting by the day).
I had a nightmare so disturbing the day after the files were released that I woke up in the middle of the night and made my husband switch sides of the bed with me. When I finally fell back asleep 45 minutes later, I went back into the same nightmare. I somehow knew that would happen, and had been dreading falling back asleep. It wasn’t a regular nightmare, it was more like a realistic lucid dream, over which I had no control. I went to mass the next day and was blessed by a priest and fortunately, a week later, I no longer remember the details of the nightmare.
Praise be to God.
But this is the point. The sheer onslaught of information coming out — unfiltered, unedited, yet heavily redacted — is part of the psyop. To overwhelm you with graphic and disturbing imagery so you don’t know what’s real. Epstein naming his bank account after Baal, dozens of references to “goyim,” disturbing details of things I don’t even want to mention. Because I think that’s part of the psyop!
Epstein is Alive… and playing Fortnite from Israel?
There are constant theories floating around that certain people haven’t actually died and have faked their deaths.
Elvis.
Tupac.
Epstein.
I’m usually in the “these people aren’t important enough to those at the top to keep them alive” camp. And I truly believe that. It’s easier and cleaner to actually kill them rather than to go to the trouble of elaborately faking their death when they are presented to the public as dead. Sure, I think some deaths are faked, but mostly I wonder — what’s the benefit to letting them remain alive? There usually isn’t one.
But, once again, Reddit sleuths and internet chatter is making me second guess that idea.
First, there are photos of a man who looks just like Epstein walking around Tel Aviv with an overgrown beard, long hair, and a gaggle of security. These photos may or may not be AI.
But even more suspicious, there is a Fortnite account associated with Jeffrey Epstein that stopped playing 3 days before he was arrested, and started playing again 1 month after he died — from an IP address located in Israel.
Fortnite is mentioned more than a dozen times in the files, indicating that Epstein did indeed play the game, and a few months before he was arrested he bought VBucks — an in-game Fortnite currency used to buy skins (outfits), weapons, etc.
I guess you’d get pretty bored hiding out in a safe house in Tel Aviv when you can’t be spotted outside.
Disappearance in the Desert
And to wrap up this week’s Capitalism section, I really don’t know what’s going on with the search for Nancy Guthrie — the mother of The Today Show host Savannah Guthrie who was kidnapped from her Tucson home 11 days ago and reported missing by her friends after she didn’t show up at church — but I do know that there are several very odd details floating around the internet.
First, Savannah Guthrie was interviewing Epstein victims at least as far back as 2019, and conducted the first broadcast interview with Virginia Giuffre. In 2020, Guthrie hosted a town hall in Miami in which she challenged Trump about Qanon “conspiracies” that the elite are running an international pedophile ring.
Guthrie’s husband, Michael Feldman, is a longtime Democratic PR and communications expert with deep ties to the Clintons. He first worked with Bill on his 1992 presidential campaign.
Second, in the family’s videotaped plea to the kidnappers, Savannah quoted The Silence of the Lambs nearly verbatim. Savannah said, of her mother, “[Nancy] is full of kindness and knowledge. Talk to her and you’ll see.” This mirrors a line said by fictional Senator Ruth Martin, “Catherine is very gentle and kind. Talk to her and you’ll see.”
It’s all very odd timing that this happened over the same weekend as the Epstein file drop with a lot of related players to Epstein’s circles.
Was this kidnapping orchestrated to dominate the headlines instead of the latest Epstein news?
This Week in Glitter
Where should I file the Super Bowl — under Capitalism, or under Glitter?
Probably best filed under Things I Do Not Care About.
At any rate — there was a Super Bowl. And there was a widely discussed halftime show. And there was apparently a competing halftime show sponsored by Turning Points USA. And I didn’t watch any of it — but all your favorite talking heads did.
And most of them are spending a lot more time talking about that than the Satanic pedophile ring that rules this world.
So which is it Adrian — you want people to talk about the Epstein files or not??
I just want people to acknowledge the real evil in this world without roping unwitting audiences into satanic rituals. Is that too much to ask?!
Give them bread and circuses and they will never revolt.

Best Looks from the Winter Olympics
Speaking of bread and circuses — the Olympics are back! I kind of love the Olympics. Especially the winter Olympics. As a girl growing up in the 90s, the drama of Olympic figure skating was unmatched. The costumes! The illegal backflips! The intense rivalries culminating in assault charges!
One of my first ever impressions (yes, I do impressions) was pretending I was Tonya Harding, skating around my living room, tripping, and then crying to the judges about my untied skate lace and begging for a second chance. Now I get to watch Tara Lipinski and Johnny Weir on my favorite reality show, The Traitors — a new kind of drama, set in a castle, with a similar elevated fashion appeal.
This year the winter Olympics are in (one of) the fashion capital(s) of the world — Milan. So in honor of Olympics fashion, I’m sharing some of my favorite looks from the Winter Olympics.

From Winter Sports to Summer Vacations
I’m planning some family vacations for the year, though I keep getting sidetracked with adding new aspects of our ever-expanding business here at Capitalism & Glitter.
Where is everyone going this year? What are some good places for a family of 5 with a 7-year-old, 3-year-old, and a baby? We’re interested in culture, beaches, and, like a modern day Nancy Drew, I love when my vacations include a little investigation.
I miss Europe — Italy especially, France second, and I desperately want to go to Greece — but I don’t think the kids are at an age where there’s enough of a payoff for the long travel. I’d love to make a trip to the continent while my littlest still qualifies as a lap baby though. And I have some flight credits I need to spend by April.
We’re heading to Hawaii soon, and I fully intend to do some research while we are there — so be on the lookout for that in future articles. Our piece detailing the scientific evidence for a worldwide flood with a feature on the Grand Canyon is slated for publication next week, and we have a follow-up piece detailing all the indigenous stories that reflect Genesis coming in March.
Fun fact! In Hawaiian mythology, a man named Nuʻu built an ark to escape a Great Flood, and then landed on Mauna Kea, the mountain on the Big Island. Nuʻu mistakenly attributed his safety to the moon, and made sacrifices to it. Kāne, the creator god, descended to earth on a rainbow and explained Nuʻu's mistake.
BUT I’M SURE IT’S JUST A COINCIDENCE THAT THIS STORY MIRRORS GENESIS SO CLOSELY.
Many modern scholars claim that this story was influenced by 19th century missionaries who brought Christianity to the Polynesian islands, and that those dumb indigenous Hawaiians got so confused they just plumb forgot their oral origin story and supplanted it with the new Christian one.
OR maybe — just maybe — Genesis documents the true history of humanity and that’s why this origin story is repeated the world over, on every continent, in nearly every culture. WHO’S TO SAY.
Health Tip of the Week
I’m going to wrap up these weekly newsletters with a little health tip of the week, where I highlight something I am doing or a recent question I have received in my DMs.
This week it’s a classic — the raw carrot salad.
Raw Carrot Salad
Popularized by bioenergetic researcher Dr. Ray Peat, the raw carrot salad is an easy way to support digestive and endocrinological health. Raw carrots have unique fibers with mild antibacterial properties that can help bind to excess estrogen and endotoxins in the gut and support healthy hormone metabolism.
The carrot salad improves the ratio of progesterone to estrogen and cortisol, and can be very helpful for many chronic illness issues experienced by RCCX girlies (and guy-ies). Personally, being nearly 6 months postpartum (!) and breastfeeding, I need all the hormonal balance support I can get, so I’ve recently been making sure I eat a raw carrot salad every day.
How to prepare it: grate one medium raw carrot and toss it with a teaspoon of olive or coconut oil, a splash of vinegar (apple cider or white), and a pinch of salt. That’s it!
Health tip: for gentle, daily support, eat it on an empty stomach and earlier in the day (like before breakfast or before lunch), and keep the ingredients minimal so your gut gets the benefits without extra stress.
That’s it for this week! Share your thoughts and let me know what you want to see next week in the comments below.
