The history of the Smithsonian Institution, like the history taught in US classrooms, is largely one of deception and fiction

The Smithsonian exploits Native American culture and covers up its history of grave robbing and paying bounty hunters for Native skulls -- while refusing to return Native American remains. Indian country media is part of the cover-up with its public relations spin promoting the Smithsonian.

The Smithsonian's dark history includes the collection of American Indian brains for a racist experiment that claimed to reveal the relationship between race and intelligence. Brains were collected for bounty.

One of the massacres where this sinister collection of skulls was carried out was at Sand Creek in Colorado, a brutal massacre where fleeing Cheyenne and Arapaho women and children were murdered in 1864. The following article is republished, so the facts will not be forgotten, with a special thank you to the late Pawnee professor James Riding In who provided much of the information.

After the publication of this article, I wrote the Smithsonian and asked if it was true that more than 10,000 Indian skulls remained at the Smithsonian. There was no response.

Epstein's Rolodex: New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson on Epstein's Short List 

By Brenda Norrell, Censored News, March 3, 2026

Epstein's Rolodex, the short list of his contacts, is among his final emails.

Before being arrested on his flight arrival in New York, Epstein sent a media man a list of his prime targets and friends.

On this short list, among the so-called royalty, and former presidents of world governments, was Bill Richardson's name. It shows that Richardson wasn't just an e-mail buddy, he was a prime player in Epstein's world.

Dark Dollars: Epstein and The Slippery Slope of Non-Profits: Epstein's contacts in Phoenix and Tucson

By Brenda Norrell, Censored News, March 1, 2026

Jeffrey Epstein's funding for Arizona's largest universities, funneled through non-profits, reveals the slippery slope of non-profits, academia and the media. The non-profit money flow reveals how Epstein, as a sex offender, hid his donations to colleges. These were donations to buy access and power, while promoting genetics, cyber currency, and A.I., artificial intelligence.

Before he was sent to prison, Epstein supported projects at Arizona State University in the Phoenix Valley, and was present at an ASU event. Meanwhile, in Tucson, Noam Chomsky, relied on Epstein for advice on financial matters, and met with Epstein.

In Epstein's world, the targets were from every arena, from Hollywood producers, to the head of the United Nations and academia. In Epstein's world, sex trafficking was both an industry and insurance for blackmail. Girls and women were disposables in a world of horror.
