  • Episode 568: The Ripple Effect Podcast (James Corbett | Epstein & The Elites: Power & Pedos)
    Feb 4 2026

    James Corbett is an award-winning independent writer, researcher and documentary producer. Since 2007, his website CorbettReport.com (Open Source Intelligence News) has presented thousands of videos, articles and interviews, garnering an enormous and influential following and earning James a reputation of being the gold standard in alternative media research.

    His first title in print is Reportage: Essays on the New World Order, which examines the roots, culture, mindset and insatiable and ruthless lust for power of globalist institutions and interests. James offers not only clarity on the Who, What, How and Why of hidden and suppressed histories, but presents alternatives, and—yes—even hope for the free and sovereign individual in a world seemingly locked down by The Powers That Be.
